There have been many solemn assemblies and national prayer gatherings over the past 2 decades. At most of these gatherings, we prayed from a place of human need, as is fitting. We, as a nation, are in deep crisis. We are no doubt in a desperate place. However, we are gathering as a nation at David's Tent in DC from another position of prayer to release a different sound before the Lord in 2012.
"Shouts of joy and victory resound from the tent of the righteous!" (Psalm 118:15)
It's the position of praying, not from human need, but from divine authority as children of the King. We are, after all, seated with Christ in Heavenly places. Both positions are valid, but, David's Tent DC is called to be a completely different sound than the desperate plea of what has typified national gatherings up to this point. Setting aside the desperation that we feel for our nation, we are taking on a spirit of celebration. Celebratory worship, thanksgiving, and adoration of Jesus are what we believe the Lord has asked of David's Tent this fall, as our intercession for America.
As King Jehoshaphat went up against an army much larger than his, in much crisis, he instructs the worshippers to go out in front singing "Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever" (2 Chronicles 20). As they sang, the Lord sent ambushes and Jehoshaphat came out a winner that day! David's Tent DC is fueled by the same prayer Jehoshaphat prayed: "We don't know what to do, but our eyes are on you!" (2 Chronicles 20:12). In the face of great destruction, Jehoshaphat sent out singers - what kind of strategy is that?
A victorious one!
The pioneering of David's Tent DC, came from a deep desire for America to look to Jesus - in hope, victory, and thanksgiving. Simple obedience changes history! We believe that 2012 is the year that America is to be "Born Again."
May America bless God. May God bless America. And may all that gather on the Ellipse this fall get caught in the cross-fire of that blessing! Our hope and desire is that each of you would make a pilgrimage to DC this fall and add your worship to the mighty chorus as we enthrone King Jesus on our praises!
