Pressing
the Gates of Heaven
To see justice and righteousness
in America
A Guest Document
INTRODUCTION
There was an event called The Response scheduled for August 2011 in
Houston, Texas. The event has one key purpose: To Press the Gates of Heaven to see
justice and righteousness in America.
Very soon, in spite of the success of the event, many pages associated
with said movement disappeared from cyberspace. Silence ensued when
that is the only vehicle to soften the blows from which our world will
endure.
We gathered a list of The Responders from
Google's cache of http://theresponseusa.com/endorsers.php on July 23,
2011 at 19:51 GMT since the page had been pulled out by The
Response. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on July
20, 2011 20:21:17 GMT.
The remainder information that you will
now see in the 'DETAILS' section was obtained on November 22, 2018,
from
The Web Archive [https://web.archive.org] since The Response USA home
page [http://theresponseusa.com/] is no longer on-line. The Web Archive
last capture of the page was on March 27, 2018, and
the
first one on May 29, 2011.
DETAILS
America's
issues are not primarily financial, political or moral. Neither does
America's hope lie in one leader or institution. Our hope is found in
the One who desires for us to turn to Him with all our hearts. This is
our response — to call on Jesus on behalf of America, that He might
hear our cry and that we would see a revolution of righteousness in
this country.
The Response
is holding state-wide solemn assemblies to gather people from all ages,
denominations and backgrounds in prayer and fasting on behalf of our
nation. Join us in your state (either in person, or via our live online
broadcast) as the church in America responds to the call to prayer.
In August
2011, The Response gathered 40,000 people in Houston, TX as well as
100,000 unique sites that joined via simulcast to respond to the
trumpet call to prayer. Though Governor Rick Perry initiated The
Response in Houston, these upcoming state-wide gatherings will not be
affiliated with any particular presidential candidates. The Response is
committed to prayer above politics, to seeing the church moved to stand
for righteousness and to pray for God's mercy for America.
State to
state, city to city, we will not rest until we see a righteous
revolution awaken the church.

EPILOGUE
We addressed this movement in our
News Commentary post
of
December 28, 2011 - News Report No. 2.
Why was this most needed and effective movement not promoted and
maintained on an on-going basis?
Because it is the last thing satan wants!
