Call to Fast!

Joel 1:14; 2:18, 25, 27
Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. [...] Then the LORD will be jealous for His land and take pity on his people. [...] "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten. [...] Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed."


Please humble yourself before the Lord. Scripture calls us to fast, so fast whatever you can: meat, sweets, all foods, tv, facebook, sleep, talking, etc. Spend time at the feet of the Father crying out to Him. Call forth the jealousy of the Lord for HIS land HIS people. Claim the promise of scripture that God will repay the years the locusts have eaten and that He will prove His sovereignty through bringing restoration to the land! The Lord is longing to redeem South Dakota, but will His people humble themselves and simply ask Him to do it?
