"And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down (1 Kings 18:30)."
After Elijah warned and prophecied the Lord's judgement against the idolatrous nation of Israel, he called the false prophets of Baal and the wayward nation to Mt. Carmel for a godly showdown. It is within this context the prophet of the Lord spoke these precious words "Come Near To Me." It was the Spirit of the Father speaking through his man to call a nation steeped in bloodshed and perversion back to Himself.
In like fashion saints from around America are coming to Ground Zero to stand in solidarity with those who rightly perceive the insult, slap in the face, and the dagger in the heart of our nation, while our government allows this plan to build a Mosque at Ground Zero. Beyond this, we have the mission and message from the Lord that must be delivered at this critical time and place.
We intend to help New York City to connect the dots between our spiritual and moral state with the rise and threat of Islam in our nation. Our sins have reached heaven and we have the testimony of God's word on how He deals with nations that kill babies and parades their sin like Sodom. He lifts His hand of protection and turns them over to a fierce and cruel people who will not be appeased. The only solution available is to get on our knees, confess and repent of our personal and national sins and look to God to deliver us from evil.
This battle is not new. Martin Luther had this to say when the church was struggling against Islam in his day. He stated:
The Turk (Islam) is the rod of the wrath of the Lord our God...If the Turk's god, the devil, is not beaten first, there is reason to fear that the Turk will not be so easy to beat...Christian weapons and power must do it...
[The fight against the Turks] must begin with repentance, and we must reform our lives, or we shall fight in vain.
[The Church should] drive men to repentance by showing our great and numberless sins and our ingratitude, by which we have earned God's wrath and disfavor, so that He justly gives us into the hands of the devil and the Turk.
This is the exact message and spirit we will come in by God's grace. Brethren, if you cannot come, then please pray for us. We will have some expense in going. If you care to help support us in this mission, please send your offering to Elijah Ministries, P.O. Box 3126, Waco, TX 76707. Thank you for your prayers, love, and support in Jesus, name!
Saints! We are witnessing a historical event in our nation. You have the opportunity to join OSA September 11, 2010, as we stand at ground zero in New York City and beseech the King of Kings to turn this nation from the destructive path that we are upon. As plans are being made to build a mosque in the very place that Islamic terrorists murdered almost 3000 Americans on that fateful day, we are calling Christians to come, stand, and storm the very throne room of God on behalf of our once great Christian nation. More details to come, including hotels in the area. For more information, contact Rusty Thomas at
