Lou Engle

Lou Engle is a man that God is using to lift up the spirit of intercession in this nation. He has a vision from God of raising houses of prayer, as he is going to speak to us, in different parts of this country, raising an army of young people, filled with the holy spirit, possessed by the spirit of praise, of war spiritual, fasting, prayer, and develop in this nation a powerful movement of God to open the way for that last visitation of the holy spirit that God has reserved for these last times. And therefore for us it is a great joy and a great privilege to have him this afternoon.

Let's give a warm welcome to Brother Lou Engle this afternoon.

I shared in the last service, the first service, I walked into this place and I absolutely felt the presence of the Lord and I whispered to my friend Brian, and I said 'I would come here even if I didn't know anything about what they are saying, just to be in the presence of the Lord. Glory to God. Thanks for having us.

These are my friends who have been giving gasoline to a house of prayer there in the city of Washington. Let's give them a round of applause, brothers.

We have spent 16 months with young people from all over America in a house of prayer that is one block from the US Supreme Court building. And the Lord gave us a dream that we would lead an army of young men up the steps of the Supreme Court for a battle over the judges of this nation of America. And God issued us a challenge, is prayer stronger than the Supreme Court? And I say: definitely yes.

And in the 16 months that we have been praying, 2 Supreme Court Justices have been removed and two have been replaced. And people ask me 'well, and how do you know that it is because you prayed? Well, for one reason, I wouldn't do what I'm doing if I didn't think I was going to see the answers on the front pages of this nation's newspapers.

I believe that prayer is the most powerful force in the universe. Hallelujah! And I believe that we are standing on the shoulders of people who have been praying for 33 years to end abortion in this nation. And I believe that God has sent us now for a time like this to see that spirit of abortion broken. Can you believe with me that abortion is going to end here in America?

I am going to tell some stories today. Brian told me 'hey preach the Bible' but I'm a terrible Bible teacher. But I'd rather tell stories, so just don't get all freaking out there about what I'm going to do. The Bible is going to be penetrating everything I say. So it's okay with you? Amen.

I want to give you a book, my brother. This is a book that I wrote, it means 'Digging the Wells of Revival'. It is not the greatest book in the world but it is my offering. In fact, it comes from the depths of my being. I lived in Pasadena, California where the Azusa Pentecostal Revival broke out.

How many know about the Azusa Pentecostal Revival in the 20th century, early 20th century? In 1906 a man named Frank Barleman, a white Anglo-Saxon man, was praying and fasting for an entire year. He cried out 24 hours a day at times, only eating what was absolutely necessary to survive. And in another part of town an African American man named William Seymour was also fasting and praying and on April 9, one hundred years ago this very year, God visited that man's fasting and prayer and a great revival broke out across the nation. .

I read the book called 'Azusa Street', written by Frank Barleman and the spirit of the Lord flooded my heart and stirred my heart and I began to fast and pray. And one night I prayed, 'God, give me Frank Barleman's mantle. I want to pray like that man. I want to see revival. I don't want to just read about revival, I want my kids to experience revival. And for 2 hours I cried out to the Lord 'give me Frank Barleman's mantle'. And that night I fell asleep, and the next day in the morning a man came up to me, and he didn't know anything about what I was praying for and he told me 'I had a dream last night about you and in that dream I saw a black book And on the front of the book, on the cover, it said revival. I opened the cover and to the face of a man and his name was Frank Barleman, and his face became your face, and I knew in that moment that it was a Joseph dream, and I think that mantle is falling off right now. . On this centennial anniversary, if the church rises up right now I think we are going to see a great revival in America.

Can you stop with me right now? And you dare to pray with me? We are crying out and declaring 40 days of fasting at the very gates of Harvard University, beginning on Ash Wednesday, the first of March, 40 days of fasting, prayer, ending on April 9, which is Palm Sunday, which also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival. We are declaring this fast for senior leaders of the body of Jesus Christ. We are asking a million people in this nation right now to fast and pray for an outpouring of the holy spirit. And I am going to move here to Boston during those 40 days, because we are seeking to mobilize massive prayer for the universities of North America, with Harvard being the epicenter.

Why not here where the great revival began two centuries ago? You can raise your hands with me and let's pray. God, in the name of Jesus we begin to pray. Start praying. begin to cry for a revival, pouring out of all..... pour out your grace, Father. Revival, awakening, Lord. O Lord, move the Latin people, Father, with the fires of intercession. Rise to move them from apathy, Lord, to seize this time, God.

Oh God, give us college professors dreams and visions. Oh, Lord, move on all the major universities in this nation. Pour out your spirit Lord. God remember Frank Bartleman and do it again, Lord, in Jesus name. Amen. A great cry to the Lord. Hallelujah!

You can sit down. I tell you this story, not to brag, I tell you this story because I believe that dreams lift up and spark faith in our hearts. And God is the dreamer of your dreams. He has a dream for your life. Before you were born, He knew you, He formed you in your mother's womb. The Scripture says that he wrote a book about your life, before there was even the first day of your life. God wrote a novel about your life before you were born, He said 'Lou, you're going to be moving all the time like you're doing now, and Lou is going to be the dreamer of my dreams', and God wrote a novel of my life. God you have written a novel about your life, too. Today perhaps you will say 'well, this novel is quite boring'. Well, wait till you get to the fourth chapter of that novel. Then things start to heat up. Hallelujah!

God has a dream for America. He brought you here from the nations because the nation of America came to you. I believe that God has given us Latinos as a gift to America. I have been prophesying for years that the hot blood of the Latinos will bring the fires of revival from the South that just might save this nation. What's more, I myself have a bit of hot Latin blood in me.

I want to tell you a few stories today, because I want to put faith in your hearts that God is not done with America yet. I don't think the humanists and the atheists and the ACLU, the secular lawyers and abortion parenthood, and the liberal politicians are going to have the last word in America. They've had their day, but God is raising up a generation that believes that God is even greater than the ideologies of abortion, the strongman of homosexuality, stronger than pornography.

God wants to pour out something that can move the hearts of nations. I have to believe this because God gave me a dream. In 1997 Promised Keepers, a men's ministry, put a million men in the central square of Washington to pray for this nation.

Joel II, 'When there is no hope for a nation, when there is no remedy, God still has a letter. Joel, blow the trumpet on Zion. Declare a fast. Gather the elderly, gather the children to repent and pray and fast. And then I will pour out my spirit.

A week after that statement in Washington I took a picture and held it up and showed that picture of those million men in the central square of Washington. And I was with 600 young people at that moment and I told them, and at that moment the spirit of prophecy fell on me and I began to declare that the hearts of the fathers would be returned to the children, but also the hearts of the children. they would be returned to the parents.

The Bible promises that in the end times He will raise up Elijah's spirit and he will be so strong that he will be able to break the curse on a nation.

I had a dream, and in that dream I was overwhelmed by the impossibility of seeing America return to God, but in the dream, Luke 1:17 was transferred to my spirit speaking of John the Baptist, it says 'the spirit of Elijah would be upon John the Baptist and would turn the hearts of the fathers towards their children, and the rebellious to the wisdom of the just'. And I woke up from that dream and the Lord spoke to me 'what I am pouring out, He said, on America is stronger than rebellion. What I am pouring out on America is stronger than rebellion.'

When Jezebel dominated Israelite culture only 7000 had not bowed the knee to the idol of Baal. When Jezebel dominated the culture, killing children, with sexual confusion and the silencing of the churches and the killing of the prophets, -we are just the same here in the city of Boston- and in the midst of that absence of God, a man full of fire called Elijah, and Elijah establishes a spiritual confrontation with that Jezebel spirit and at the end of the revolution, Jezebel's altar becomes a latrine. The Bible says so. And they completely overthrew Baal worship.

Now, brethren, New England is currently dominated by a Jezebellic culture. It is the witchcraft capital of the world. The place where churches can't even raise their voices and take a strong stand against homosexuality without being shocked, so there is terrible pressure for us to live by the zeitgeist in peaceful coexistence.

And God wants to come and remove that false peace. He wants a voice capable of penetrating the religious system and opening up the heavens and beginning to shake and upend the status quo. And He is going to do it with the fasting and prayer of the prophet Elijah. Hallelujah!

And I began to speak to those 600 young people and the spirit of prophecy descended on me and I began to declare 'that the hearts of the fathers would be returned to the children and the children also to the fathers.' And so I prophesied and I declared, 'There's going to be a second gathering of young people in that central square in Washington and it's going to be a John the Baptist, Nazarean generation that will fast and pray over this nation.' And I said at that time, 'and when they go to that central square in Washington, it will be a sign that America is beginning to turn back to God.

At that time there was no way I could execute that kind of vision. But a year and a half after that prophetic declaration, I found myself praying the following prayer, 'God, how can I turn the heart of America back to God? It seemed like a completely wild prayer, but I know what you are praying for. You're praying, how can I get New England back to God? How can I return Boston to God? This prayer is being stirred in the heart of this man and this company.

You have to dream God's outrageous dreams and make that dream come true on earth as it has already come true in heaven. Do I have the right company? It will be very expensive for you and this man to take leadership in this city. Jezebel will send her prophets against you, but don't worry, because if the Lord is with us, who can be against us?

I believe there is a movement that we are destined to dominate and defeat and not live under the rule of the Philistines anymore. A David has to pick up his stone and start throwing it against the .......... and challenge the spiritual atmosphere with the weapons of justice, fasting and prayer.

I am praying this prayer and at that moment, when I was praying with the young people, a woman approached me at that moment and told me 'you don't know who I am, but I read your book about revival and the Lord spoke to me and told me that He wanted me to pay your salary this year, because you are going to start something with the youth of America that is going to change the destiny of this nation, she told me. And at that moment I am going crazy because I don't know this woman, and he told her 'Ma'am, you must be kidding me', because she told me that she was going to pay my salary. And of course, I took your money and this woman has been paying my salary for the last 6 years, with the dream that the youth of America will rise up and change this nation with prayer, with fasting.

And on September 2, people told us you are not capable of doing that. Promise Keepers might have done it but who are you. We told them, we only have a dream but God mobilized that dream. And on September 2, 400,000 young people gathered in that central Washington square, not for a festival but for a fast. They got there and concentrated in that plaza for 12 hours, and they threw themselves on the mud and wept and cried.

I believe that George Bush was elected, not by a vote of the people, but by the prayers of angels, because God wants to end abortion in America he is now crying out before the throne of God, and he is looking for a better blood. And if a change doesn't come about, God is going to have to judge this nation just as severely.

The blood of those children cries out from the ground, but there is another blood that cries out, and that is mercy, mercy, mercy. From all this day we launched 7 national calls, that is the name of the so-called 'The call'. 85,000 congregated in New York, 50,000 young people in the city of Boston, 40,000 in San Francisco. Something is stirring in the bowels of America and it's not a youth pizza-eating congregation, it's not a youth pizza-eating party. They are young people who believe that they can change history today, like Daniel in the Book of Daniel.

As a teenager, Daniel fasting and praying has a revelation a hundred times better than the psychics of Babylon, giving visions more powerful than that of the witches. God wants young people who can interpret the dreams of their teachers.

When God begins to hunt down and persecute the Harvard Nebuchadnezzars, God wants to promote his people to the highest levels of leadership. We have to believe in this time.

God sent me on this journey through a dream. I had a dream of a Buddhist prayer house on top of a Christian prayer house and the Buddhist prayer house was dominating the Christian prayer house. But in the dream then the Christian house of prayer began to turn the thing around, and it began to dominate the Buddhist house of prayer. And the Lord began to speak to me 'your job description in life is to raise up a house of prayer that contends with all other houses, not with weapons of anger, but with a touch, something in a realm..... where the hell and angels are fighting with each other, and they are fighting and battling to gain influence over the culture.'

And I also had a dream about Senator Ted Kennedy, a very liberal man and that I dreamed that I didn't I could leave my house of prayer because I was being influenced by the atmosphere of that house of prayer. I believe that the prayers of the saints in this city are stronger than those of the politicians. That's what the Scripture says.

Whatever you ask, whatever you ask in my name will be given to you, ask and it will be given to you. Pray your kingdom come, your will be done. On earth, just as you do in heaven, keep asking, keep searching, keep insisting before the Lord.

The church has yet to rediscover the infinite power of prayer, because prayer gives God the right to enter the arena, and when God chooses a fight with Boston politics, He must always gain. And you guys will say 'well that sounds like you're showing off and giving it to you'. No, I feel that God wants to raise up the Davids who can fight the Goliaths. He is tired of a church dominated by culture that is silencing the voice of the church, and what God wants is to recover that voice and He then goes to look for a people who are out of balance. You know what? Many times balance is a dirty word. And when God wanted to return the nation, He raised up a John the Baptist. John the Baptist was far from being a balanced and normal man, his main food was lobster and honey. And many times he would break his fast, and then many times he would not even eat his main meal and just continue to fast completely. What do you think, does that sound balanced to you? He would break with his main meal of locust and honey and also said that he continued to fast frequently. But he recovered the voice of the church. The voice the church had lost in New England.

But I believe that there is, brothers, an army of men and women who say 'I want to recover my voice again.' We have young people here who want to say 'I want to have my voice in the culture.' I want to write the music that will change my culture, I want to write the books that will change my culture.

I want to be a voice. I do not want to be playing for a losing team when we see that Christ is above all rules, all dominance, all power, all law. And I am not going to wait for the millennium to come to see the good things that God wants to do. Now through the church the manifold wisdom of God is going to be made known to principalities and powers.

When God launched us into 50 days of prayer and fasting and showed us that we had to prayerfully confront the ideology of abortion, and we launched that first house of prayer a block from the Supreme Court in Washington with young people standing in front of the Supreme Court with a strip of tape in their mouths with the word 'life' written on it. And that prophetic act came through a dream that God gave to that young man here, in which he saw my son with that tape in his mouth with the word 'life' written on it.

And we believe it was divine intelligence. Our young people have taken a stand in front of the Supreme Court and they are there every day for 16 months, they have been standing in front of that Supreme Court, not protesting but prophesying life on that Supreme Court, identifying themselves with the silent cries of those who have not still born.

Ezekiel 22:30 "I looked for a man who would stand in the gap to build a wall in front of me, so that I would not destroy and judge the nation" and through that dream I said to the Lord 'I'm going to build you a wall and as those kids stand in front of the Supreme Court they're saying 'Lord, bear your wrath on this nation and end abortion.'

In 16 months, two justices have been removed from their positions on the Supreme Court, and right now I want to do something: National news shows like Night line ABC, saw our house of prayer in the shape of an arrow , which is shaped like the head of an arrow and that's where these young people are standing continually declaring God's judgment on the Supreme Court, declaring that the death march of abortion is going to be destroyed here in America. It is a house of prayer that is contending with the court of death.

I think I want to show you a video. Nightline came and showed this video. I hope it's working, it's a very auspicious, indeed a very auspicious presentation of this prophetic act.

Lord, we thank you. You are good, Lord.

Guess what? I believe, brothers, that God wants to divinely endorse prayer. Ted Copple, who does this national show, resigned from Nightline, this show, and the next show that was given was precisely this one that you saw. Brothers, I believe that God is changing things in the media in Hollywood, things are changing if the church prays and moves the windows of heaven.

I'm going to give you a couple more stories and then we're done. Before we launched into these 50 days and 50 nights, a young woman shared a dream of Las Vegas. She saw a basketball court. God often gives me dreams about basketball courts because I like to play basketball, or at one time I did. Thirty years after I played basketball, last year when I started going to the Supreme Court, they inducted me into their school's hall of fame, 30 years later because it's all about the courts; courts, courts, in English is the same.

In this dream, brothers, she sees a demonic barrier on the court (in the court) and all these young people are there crying, and in the dream she says that I appeared there on the court with a T-shirt referee. I looked up the word arbitrator in the dictionary and it means a judge. A judge who is over the courts (the courts). And in the dream that she had, a young woman started yelling, 'Lou Engle, it's your chance now,' and I took those young men's hands and we took that demonic barrier off the court.

And when we got to Washington we stood for 5 hours a day, 31 days before the elections with that tape that said life over our mouths and with those plastic bands on our arms. And when we were there in front of the Court, one of our young people said 'hey, let's take this tape that says life and turn them into plastic bands like some bands that say 'live strong'. And we could start a Martin Luter King type movement, like they did in Birmingham 30 or 40 years ago to end abortion. And I said, 'Sir, that sounds like a good idea, but we don't need another band in America. You have to confirm it, a bracelet... that this bracelet comes from you. And the next day, a boy comes up to me, we don't know who he is, and he says 'you have to take that life tape and turn it into a life bracelet like the 'live strongly' bracelet. And he tells me, 'If you do it, I'm going to go back to Birmingham, my hometown, and I'm going to start a Martin Luther King-type movement to end abortion. And today more than 180,000 are wearing that bracelet and every time they see that bracelet they are praying for abortion to end.

If you could get a million people to do that 5 times a day, there would be 5 million prayers praying for abortion to end. We have to start taking control, we have to start a massive mobilization, and today my friends and I stand and say our prayer. Forward.

Jesus, we ask that your blood be upon my sins, the sins of my nation. God ends abortion and sends the Bible to America. Jesus, we call your blood on my sins and the nation. End abortion and send revival because everywhere in America they are standing up in front of abortion clinics, in the courts and in the states, and we are laying siege to the courts of Babel.

I'm going to finish this story. When we arrived in Washington, on day number 30, I received a call from a young woman who works in the Supreme Court building. She called me and said, 'Would you like to go into the Supreme Court building? I'm going to take you on a tour of that building.' So when I met her, she told me her story. It had been prophesied to her years ago in Florida that one day she would be working in the Supreme Court building and when she was working there Rowe v. Wade, which is the law that allows abortion, would be overthrown. And then she goes on to tell me, 'I had a dream recently,' she told me, that Supreme Court Justice Guinsburg came to me in the dream and asked me to be his clerk. A week after that dream, Supreme Court Justice Guinsburg himself approaches this young woman and says 'Would you like to be my assistant?'

I tell you, these stories are designed to create faith in you, not just faith, but we must pray the visions of God to come true. Maybe you have a dream for your son. Pray your dream over and over and over and over again, because it is your word that is reaching heaven.

And I asked that young lady and I asked her, 'Is there a basketball court (basketball court) inside the Supreme Court building?' And she tells me 'Yes, in fact there is, and it is exactly above where the judges have their hearings'. And I told him 'Take me to that court (to that court)'.

On the third floor in heaven, in that third court, Esther led the court there and changed Haman's death decree against the Hebrews. And I walked all over that basketball court, declaring 'Today there is a change on the Supreme Court. We declare that abortion is ending in America.

The fight is still on. We are praying right now that the third judge will fall as well. And we're praying day and night, Lord, change all this.

God has given me the anointing to launch a house of prayer, exactly from Harvard University to fight against the ideologies that are creating a culture of death on our universities. With the spirit of antichrist that is coming out of those professors, and we are declaring these 40 days of fasting, and from there we are going to launch a house of prayer, like what we did in front of the Supreme Court with the dream that God would change things. about the stuff about Harvard and all the universities in America.

We may believe that prayer is greater than principalities and powers. I believe that 24-hour prayer is rising on earth, because God wants to contend with principalities and powers. Believe me, brethren, Muslims have a culture of prayer, but the church in America only has small prayer meetings. How is one prayer meeting going to prevail against an entire culture of prayer, where millions, every day, 5 times a day, acknowledge Muhammad as a prophet from Allah? How are we going to be able to contend against the spiritual power that is being released by millions of people, fasting and praying in the Muslim world.

The West has to recover the necessary houses of prayer and we are going to prevail over this nation and this culture.

I am here today because I have joined my heart with this man and we are dreaming a dream that Boston can see its revival, that Harvard can see a change, that our children will not have to be mentored by witchcraft, instead witchcraft will be mentored by the youth of our time.

That's worth living for. That is worth it, young men, to give your lives for it. Lukewarm offerings will not suffice. It is only total abandonment of Christ Jesus. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It is not just a man to whom we are singing our songs.

He wants to manifest His authority over the deans of universities. He wants to show his authority over Ted Kennedy, over George Bush, over Hillary Clinton. He wants to chase them with dreams and direct their lives through the most powerful force in the universe. Prayer, fasting united, intercession every night. And I believe that Latinos can lead the way. He wants to use the lowly to bring down the mighty and the proud. You have the fire of prayer in your ancestors, in your bones, it is there. Take it back and take on the day.

We have a website that you can go to. It is called facedown40.com (with the number 40) (face down), to receive information about those 40 days of fasting, beginning on March 1 and ending on April 9. April 9 is the centennial anniversary of the Azusa Revival. Oh, if millions would rise up in prayer to cry out for God to move upon our sons and our daughters. And we also have a website called JHOBoston.com and we are looking for young people who will give 3 months to 6 months of their lives to feed a house of prayer 24 hours a day like the one we have there, with the intention that we will not let go of Harvard until that place begins to shake at its foundations.

Can you dream that dream with me today? Can you dream a dream for your families? Can you take those weapons of fasting and prayer? My brother, you can raise an army of young Latinos who can lead the parade of history. I am convinced of that.

Young men you were created for relationship. You can raise your hands, let's pray now. Lord, for a special grace, a special dowry of fasting and prayer that comes upon this town, Lord. Lord, we pray in Jesus' name that a mantle of faithful leadership would fall on this house. Why not Latinos to direct the wisdom of teachers? Why not the prayers of the humble that destroy the ideology that is destroying our culture?

Lord, we ask that a leadership anointing right now, raise up praying youth in colleges and schools, in Jesus' name. I pray that the prayers of this church will be infused with fire. Let there be no room in this place because the movement of prayer is so strong, God. We ask you in the name of Jesus. Go to Spanish Version
