One Cry Life Action Ministries A Declaration of Spiritual Emergency With heavy hearts, we recognize that the church in America is in a state of spiritual emergency. Like the churches warned in Revelation, we have become lukewarm and compromised, and the light of our witness has grown dim. We confess that despite access to more resources and biblical teaching than any other group of believers in history, we are not characterized by the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. And we acknowledge our lack of widespread impact for Christ on our lost and disintegrating culture. But God is waking us from our slumber and mobilizing us to pray earnestly for revival. Together, we desire to travel the narrow road of brokenness, humility, and repentance. In desperation for God, we cry out for the extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit in our day. We believe that true revival is the only hope to reverse our spiritual recession and enable us once again to display the beauty of Jesus Christ and His gospel throughout the world. Because we believe that only Christ can save, heal, and revive, we pledge to: •TURN – in humble repentance from every sin God reveals to us •PRAY – with urgency for spiritual recovery and awakening •UNITE – with other believers in spreading the hope of Christ-centered revival Lord, send revival, and let it begin in us! ======== vimeo/37128995 from: onecry/why/declaration/ ======== About One Cry Is a Spiritual Awakening Really the Answer? Empty lives. Broken families. Stagnant churches. A disintegrating nation. There are no ultimate human solutions to the challenges we face. We need the reviving power of Jesus Christ. We need an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We need to fall to our knees and cry out to the Father for help. OneCry is a nationwide call for spiritual awakening, a cry to the Lord to manifest His glory and work with extraordinary power. And it is a call to the church to pray, to seek Gods face, and to turn away from sin, compromise, and complacency. Finally, it is a call to action. Like those defining moments in the Bible when together Gods people prayed, threw away their idols, and submitted their lives afresh to the Lord, OneCry unites Christians who sense the urgent spiritual need of the church and the desperate need of our culture to be part of the solution. What if thousands of prayer warriors pled with God for spiritual awakening? What if voices in communities across the nation were raised to share revival truth? What if leaders called the world to spiritual renewal? What if believers everywhere earnestly sought the manifest presence of God? And what if God heard from heaven and healed our land? Thats our One Cry.
