A notice from the Louisiana Family Forum – Gene Mills President
Day of Prayer in Louisiana on Sunday!! Please forward this your families, your pastors and to everyone you know to join us in praying! Only prayer can repair the damaged oil well and protect our coast!
Today (June 24, 2010),
Gov. Bobby Jindal joined three other Southern governors [1] in issuing an EMERGENCY PRAYER PROCLAMATION, declaring SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 2010, a DAY OF PRAYER IN LOUISIANA!
Governors Haley Barbour of Mississippi [2], Rick Perry of Texas and Bob Riley of Alabama [3] join Jindal in issuing similar emergency directives.
America has assembled the brightest minds, the newest technology and America's finest for 65 consecutive days to seal this breach in the Gulf of Mexico and contain its unwelcomed intrusion into our lives and onto our shores. One thing that we have failed to do is corporately "PAUSE AND PRAY" and admit that our efforts are futile without the assistance of the Almighty!
Gov. Bobby Jindal's proclamation [4] calling willing Louisianians to join him in bowing their hearts and entreating heavens favor this Sunday, June 27, 2010, is an entirely appropriate "Call to action in this present crisis."
LFF and its network of communicating and cooperating churches in Louisiana will honor this directive and move quickly to respond this Sunday from sun up to sun down.
Pastors, I requested that Governor Jindal initiate this call and have been assisted by David Barton of Wallbuilders, Tony Perkins of Family Research Council and others in crafting the proclamation and implementing its directive. I challenge you and encourage your church to honor this directive by joining me in:
* BOWING your knee this Sunday
*"Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker."* Psalm 95:6 [5]
* TURNING your heart toward Heaven
* _"Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven." * Lamentations 3:41 [6]
* HUMBLING yourself before God
* _"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that
He may exalt you in due time." * 1 Peter 5:6 [7]
* "CRYING OUT" on behalf of our deep water, fertile coast, strained industry and precious families
* "The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles."
* Psalm 34:17 [8]
Ask God to "hear our cry" and to heal our wetland, coast and Gulf
waters!
In His Service, Gene Mills - President

PS. 2 CHRONICLES 7:14 states, "_If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land_." I am confident the Lord will be pleased by this action and respond in mercy and grace.
