David's Tent
It is with great joy that I write today. I love the United States of America. I love its people, its spectacular terrain, rivers, lakes and seas, and I love the Divinely inspired form of government established by our founding fathers. I am excited and hopeful with the good news of a powerful event taking place...
September 25 through November 6 in Washington D.C.
“David's Tent DC"
is 40 day worship event.
House of Prayer Worship will happen 24/7
on the White House Ellipse in Washington DC."
The following article describes the event and some of the reasoning behind it.
White House Elip
“An Oval Altar for The Oval Office
"Before America ever enters the polling booth this November, we will first gather on the White House Ellipse and do nothing but enthrone Jesus on our praises 24 hours a day for over 40 days from September 25th – November 6th 2012. We seek worship teams from all 50 states to gather and lead worship from an Oval Altar near the Oval Office. Worship 24/7/40 from a stage on the White House Ellipse! If ever America needed a Savior, it is now. America's lamp stand in the nations is at risk of being removed. Many have concluded the obvious already that no man elected to the Presidency can save America. We need Jesus. We need the power of His Presence and Spirit of Revelation in the White House, Washington DC and in all America.
We recognize that America is in a desperate place, but not without hope. We believe God has called us as a nation to "circle the wagons" by the White House and build an altar of worship to offer as intercession for America.”
I am so thrilled about this exploit because I feel that it is the catalyst for a transition to Godliness in our nation. The Bible says that God inhabits the praises of His people. As we praise and worship Jehovah, the Lord will grace us with His presence. Praise is a spiritual weapon. As the Lord is lifted up, the ungodly strongholds and bondages of Satan operating in our nation will be torn down. As these strongholds are pulled down, people's eyes will be opened. The spirit of deception which blinds the hearts of the unsaved and spiritually oppressed will be lifted. I truly believe that people's hearts will be changed and their perceptions concerning Jesus and His Word will be directed toward the truth. “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 (NIV) As we delight ourselves in the Lord He will give us the desires of our hearts. Psalm 37:4 I'm sure that, as Christians, our hearts' desire is that righteousness would once again exalt our nation ( Proverbs 14:34) and that we could live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. I Timothy 2:2
I have heard it said, and it rings true with my spirit, that praise and worship raises up a canopy of safety and protection over our nation. Ancient Israel was well aware of the power of corporate praise, worship and intercession. In 2 Chronicles 20 Jehoshaphat led the people of Judah in prayer, praise and worship as they faced the challenge of war with Moab, Ammon, and Edom. “The King appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the Lord and praising Him for His holy splendor. At the moment they began to sing and give praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting among themselves.” 2 Chronicles 20:21-22 (NLT) Judah's enemies were defeated and they didn't even have to fight them.
I believe, in the same way, as we praise and worship God, He will defeat our enemies. Who are the real foes in our nation today? I maintain that sin, wickedness, idolatry, godlessness, and deception are our greatest adversaries. Of course, this soul condition reaps a harvest of malaise, including poverty, crime, addictions, disease, ungodly laws, and broken families. However, corporate high praise of our Saviour is a marvelous starting point to turn this situation around. To have a move of God in our political leaders would prove an invaluable blessing to our nation. It would be an answer to the heaven inspired prayer, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10
