111 - Communion Colorado
Letter From the Editor:
On June 24, 2022, when Roe v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the tectonic plates of history shifted beneath our feet. While the full consequence of that shift is yet to be determined, God has marked this generation for revival and reformation. In today’s Briefing, Lou Engle lays out a heavenly strategy for the Body of Christ to seize the day and advance the nation into God’s intended purposes.

COMMUNION COLORADO
From Roe to Revival
On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples,
A banquet of aged wine - the best of meats and the finest of wines. And He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people and the veil that is spread over all nations. - Isaiah 25:6-8
Every reformation has one defining moment that is remembered long after the names of politicians and kings have been forgotten. At every massive shift in human history - whether political, cultural, or religious - a flashpoint occurs. That is the moment when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions for good or for evil occur in the vacuums created by these openings. It is in these times that key men and women, even entire generations, risk everything to become the hinge of history, that pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing. America has been thrust into such a divine moment. In this socially convulsing post-Roe era, the times demand that the church risks everything to lead the parade of history.
Eighteen years ago, seventy young men and women gathered in Colorado Springs to fast and pray for fifty days and nights that the U.S. Supreme Court would reverse Roe v. Wade. The Lord gave us a prayer that eventually spread across America and has been poured out before the court of heaven like a voice of many waters. “Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.”
We believe this prayer contains the key to shifting the nation into a culture of life, healing, forgiveness, and national revival… The Great Communion Revival. Millions of pleas have streamed toward heaven. It is the blood of Jesus that speaks the better word of mercy and forgiveness, rather than the blood of the unborn that is calling out for judgment on our nation.
Prior to the recent decision on Roe, we received a dream from a woman who saw us standing in front of the Supreme Court. In place of wearing LIFE tape on our mouths, red tape was placed on our foreheads, and on it was written, “It is finished.” These are the very words Jesus spoke on the cross after he cried, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Brothers and sisters, eighteen years of pleading the blood of Jesus has done it! The blood of Jesus has done its work. Roe is no more!
Now, the battle of life versus death begins in all fifty states. It is our conviction that if God has begun to answer the first part of our prayer, “God, end abortion” (via overturning Roe,) then surely he will answer the second part of that prayer, “send revival to America.” And we believe this revival will be very connected to the blood of Jesus.
For years we have dreamed about “The Great Communion Revival” that would far surpass all other revivals. We believe the flashpoint for this revival must be seized in Colorado Springs. Colorado was the first state to legalize abortion in 1967. Should it not be the first state to hold a statewide “Great Communion Gathering,” uniting the churches in love and pleading the better blood that leads to forgiveness, revival, and reformation? Colorado has known its bitter moments of division and betrayal, both in government and in the churches, which have left us vulnerable to the ploys of Satan.
We received a dream in which we saw an interactive map on the wall. That map showed a place where there had been great betrayal and pain. Suddenly, on the map, lights began to break forth wherever people were taking Communion together. They were receiving BB diplomas that were multiplying. Meanwhile, there was another communion service taking place along that river of betrayal. It was a toxic brew of anger, bitterness, rage, and unforgiveness.
In this dream, those drinking that wine of bitterness were receiving BA diplomas and they were multiplying as well. However, the BB diplomas had authority over the BA diplomas. Those who spoke the Better Blood of forgiveness were gaining authority over those who were the Brethren Accusers. When Jesus, on the cross, cried, “Father forgive them,” he released great power for healing in the earth. When the church begins to voice that same cry in the midst of Communion, it will release the power of the cross for days of revival.
In light of this, we are gathering in Colorado Springs, under the shadow of Pikes Peak, America's mountain, to hold a Great Communion Service. In the Broadmoor World Arena, we will come together in unity, in spite of our differences, to enter into union with Jesus and gain authority over the powers of darkness, rage, and bitterness.
Recently Governor Polis, of Colorado, has signed a most egregious bill, legalizing abortion without restriction up to the very day of birth. Colorado stands culpable before heaven. Therefore, we will assemble together and pray for our governor, as commanded by scripture to “pray for those in authority.” We will release the same sound which Jesus released at the cross: “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” We will also stand as a prophetic witness to those in authority, in order to fulfill our duties of the kingdom and of our earthly citizenship, by upholding a banner of uncompromising righteousness.
On this mountain (Pikes Peak), we believe this feast of communion could begin to remove a veil over Colorado (Isaiah 25:6-8). Satan will, in measure, fall from heaven and a great Communion harvest of souls, which has already begun, will be fanned into flame. Let all of Colorado, from the north, south, east, and west, gather for a day of Communion with the Lord, with one another, and with our blessed state. We also call upon those across America to come as representatives of your own states, and partake of Communion with us for every person, every family, and every region, unto the mercy of God upon our nation.
“Gather to me my consecrated ones who have made a covenant by sacrifice." Ps. 50:5
