Lou Engle

Lou Engle meets with New England pastors and leaders to discuss America, TheCall DC, and future plans for TheCall New England. The notice presents America as being in crisis and calls for a biblical response of gathering the people and fasting.

Prayer joined with fasting is a force capable of confronting spiritual powers, transforming culture, and paving the way for revival. Therefore, we must establish houses of prayer, persevere day and night, and mobilize a generation of young people filled with the Holy Spirit, ready to intercede for families, universities, government leaders, and an end to abortion. Dreams and testimonies received from God are not reasons for boasting, but calls to believe and to pray repeatedly until heavenly visions become reality on earth. Just as fasting preceded the Azusa revival and biblical intercession broke decrees of death, the Church can recover its voice in the face of the ideologies that dominate society. This battle is not fought with anger, but with righteousness, fasting, prayer, and mercy. Lukewarm offerings are not enough: we need complete surrender to Christ, faithful leadership, and a consecrated life. The humble, especially young people and the Latino community, can lead this movement of intercession and change.

Prayer and fasting are the church’s most powerful weapons for spiritual warfare, cultural transformation, revival, and mercy. God-given dreams can awaken faith, reveal our calling, and move us to pray persistently until heavenly purposes become earthly realities. Testimonies surrounding Azusa Street, mass youth gatherings, and a continuous house of prayer near the Supreme Court demonstrate the conviction that united intercession can influence courts, political leaders, universities, media, and the struggle to end abortion—not through anger or protest, but through day-and-night prayer. When rebellion, sexual confusion, pornography, and hostile ideologies appear dominant, we must believe that God’s outpouring is stronger. The church must recover its public voice and replace occasional prayer meetings with an enduring culture of prayer. Boston, New England, Harvard, and America can experience awakening as young and old embrace costly devotion. Latinos and other humble believers are especially urged to lead. Halfhearted offerings will not suffice; we must abandon ourselves to Jesus, raise houses of prayer, fast, intercede for our families and institutions, and trust God to make this generation a history-changing people.

Prayer and fasting can change the course of history because, although they may seem weak, they make way for God’s mighty action. Therefore, we should not limit ourselves to what our own abilities permit, but pray for national transformation, revival, justice, the protection of life, and the renewal of schools and universities. Dreams and visions are not merely spiritual experiences; they can guide intercession and inspire concrete action. The testimonies from The Call, youth gatherings, and houses of prayer demonstrate the importance of continually seeking God day and night rather than merely celebrating isolated events. Young people in particular are called to set aside time to fast, pray, preach boldly, and confront ideologies considered contrary to God with heavenly wisdom, not anger. The invitation to forty days of fasting seeks to prepare a house of prayer near Harvard and cry out for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit. This discipline also applies to our most immediate needs: we must pray and fast for our children and for the personal victories we need.

Prayer and fasting can shape history because God works through what appears weak to confront spiritual darkness, influence leaders, awaken churches, and bring personal breakthroughs. Dreams and visions are not spiritual entertainment; they call us into sustained intercession and obedient action. Years of fasting, prayer gatherings, and houses of prayer in Washington were presented as evidence that persistent believers can contend for justice, revival, and the protection of unborn life. The same vision now turns toward Boston and Harvard: not an angry struggle against people, but a spiritual battle in which heavenly wisdom penetrates humanistic ideologies. A forty-day fast and a continuing house of prayer are intended to sustain what a single gathering begins. This calling includes both young and old, but young people are especially urged not to waste their teenage years. They can consecrate themselves to Christ, pray and fast for their schools, receive dreams from God, resist lust and cultural compromise, and begin changing history now. Our greatest concerns also remain close to home, including prayer for our children and needed breakthroughs.
