The Covenant of The Call DC

The Covenant of The Call DC
September 2, 2000


Our Gracious Father and God of all, we thank you for bringing us as
united generations to Washington, DC to seek Your face and repent of
the sins of our respective generations and our nation through the
precious blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We stand today with hearts united in faith that the Holy Spirit will
send forth heaven-birthed repentance and a mighty empowering to keep
the following covenants we renew in Your presence this day.

WE COVENANT to love You with all of our hearts, soul, mind and
strength forsaking materialism, sexual immorality, entertainment,
religiosity and all other idols that would detract from an extravagant
affection for you. In humility and led by Your Holy Spirit we will
keep communion with You and others in love, worship, prayer and the
Holy Scriptures.

WE COVENANT as fathers and mothers to wage a spiritual war in prayer
and fasting against a culture of death and violence in our nation that
has decimated the ranks of our children. We turn our hearts to all
children, born or unborn, in America, seeking to mentor them in a love
for God and into their God ordained destinies.

WE COVENANT as a new generation to turn our hearts in love, respect
and submission to our parents, teachers, pastors and national leaders
and all others in a position of God-given authority. We forgive all
those who were in such positions of responsibility when the enemy of
our souls released a culture of death on our generation through the
ravages of sexual immorality, abortion, drugs, divorce, and rejection.
We commit, however, to obey God rather than man, when laws of man
contradict the laws of God.

WE COVENANT to seek unity in the Body of Christ in our nation by
rejecting pride, insensitivity and prejudice and we pledge to sow
forgiveness, understanding and reconciliation.

WE COVENANT to promote a spiritual revolution in America by radical
pursuit of these covenants and the duties of citizenship not only
voting but praying for elected officials. We will pray for the peace
of Jerusalem and work for an America that blesses Israel in accordance
with the Word of God.

WE PLEDGE to boldly stand and act on the absolute truths revealed in
Your word but reject a religious, critical and judgmental spirit. For
Your mercy triumphs over judgment.

WE COVENANT to invade every arena of our culture with Kingdom love and
authority instead of abdicating our responsibility.

WE COVENANT to reclaim the historic call on this nation to send her
sons and daughters to the people groups of the earth, fulfilling the
Great Commission.

WE COVENANT to fast and pray for a great spiritual awakening in
America and the nations of the earth.

Together we pray that prayer removed from our public schools in 1962:
Almighty God we acknowledge our dependence on You and we beg Your
mercy on us, our parents, our teachers and our nation.
