National Patriot Pastors’ T.E.A. Party

A Call for Pastors to Seek Revival and National Renewal

Truth Exalts America!!  Pastors join with us in weekly calls with some of America’s leading Christian Patriots like David Barton, Mat Staver and Bill Federer to grow together and pray together with the goal of meeting in San Antonio for a Pastor’s T.E.A. Party.  The acronym stands for Truth Exalts America as Proverbs 13:24 declares “Truth exalteth a nation, but righteousness is a reproach to any people.”  America was born as a result of the Great Awakening which united the Colonies as “One Nation Under God.”  That great revival led to the leadership of Patriot Pastors in the 1750’s through 1770’s who boldly declared “liberty from tyranny” and “we have no king, but king Jesus” in their pulpits.

The great need:  America is on the brink of moral and economic collapse. If she collapses, the most benevolent country and the greatest missionary sending nation the world has ever known will cease to exist as we have known her.  America has brought light to the world for generations.  If the light in America goes out, darkness will pervade the earth.  Radical Islam, is stalking the earth threatening to return the world to the Dark Ages.

Pastor, you and I hold the key, but it remains to be seen what we will do with it.  Consider the facts:  

1.      Politically the nation is being held hostage by professional politicians driven by greed and selfish ambition, more concerned with being reelected and amassing power than serving the people.

2.      Economically the nation is nearing bankruptcy and financial ruin, with growing unemployment and hopelessness gripping more and more of the citizenry.   

3.      Morally, America has lost all sense of shame as the nation has fallen into sexual anarchy, most visibly demonstrated through the entertainment industry.

4.      Spiritually, Churches are in decline and the American people are becoming increasingly less interested in spiritual things.

The hope:  God is America’s greatest hope…but He is also America’s greatest threat!  Woe to us if we do not seek His face in repentance and for genuine revival.

The problem: Most of America’s pastors have abandoned their posts as the “watchman on the wall.” (See Ez.33:7)

The proposal:  A national call for America’s pastors to assemble in San Antonio for one day of seeking God on behalf of our nation, stepping over all barriers of denominations, doctrinal differences and racial divides.  On July 7^th, we will have one doctrinal statement:  “We believe the United States of America was designed to be…One nation, under God!” 

America needs Patriot Pastors who are committed to be God’s “watchmen on the wall,” who are unashamed of being Americans…not Asian-Americans; not Native-Americans; not African-Americans; nor any other hyphenated American…just Americans. 

America must return to the God who granted us our freedoms, or she will cease to exist.  “American” was never a nationality…it was an idea.  That’s why men and women from every nation have been willing to make any sacrifice to come here and regardless of where they were born, they could become an American.  That wonderful ideal is in danger of dying. 

The background:  A group of pastors convened in Nashville, Tennessee on February 6, during the National Tea Party Convention, and a plan was birthed in their hearts to issue a call for Pastors to come together and seek God for national revival and American renewal.  

It is easy to feel isolated and alone as a Pastor, but just as in Elijah’s day when God reminded Elijah that there were 7,000 others who had not bowed a knee to Baal, (See 1 Kings 19) so we believe there are at least 7,000 Pastors in this country out of the more than 350,000 pastors and priests in America, who have remained true to His Word, and who like the men of Issachar in David’s day, understand the times and know what to do. (See 1 Chron. 12:32)

The Alamo Plaza, where 182 Texicans gave their lives rather than give up their freedom, has been reserved for the National Patriot Pastors’ T.E.A. (Truth Exalts America) Party. 

 "Righteousness exalteth a Nation, but sin is reproach to any people" (Prov. 13:24)

Our goal will be to address the…

• Truth of the pastor's God called role to be Watchmen (Isaiah 56:10-12, Ez. 33)

• Truth of remembering America's Christian Heritage.  (Deut. 6:12)

• Truth of the Constitution (Deut. 17:18-20)

• Truth of the Word of God (John 17:17)

• Truth is Christ (John 14:6)

• Truth of Marriage (Matt. 19:4-6)

• Truth of Abortion (Lev. 18:21)

• Truth of Homosexuality (Rom. 1:25-29)

• Truth that our Founders drew from the scriptures for guidance as they declared their independence from Great Britain and wrote the Constitution which provides the legal foundation for our laws and protects our freedom from tyrants.

For three hours we will conduct a rally for renewal on the morning of July 7^th in the Plaza, followed by four hours of strategic planning and training, in a location to be named later, after which every Pastor will be urged to take the fires of revival and truth  to their own communities and pulpits. 

Following the San Antonio meeting, Pastors will be urged to use the 17 weeks leading up to Election Day to network via the Internet and teleconferencing and work toward national revival, seeking God’s face for our country and calling men and women to faith in Christ and renewed Christian citizenship. 

Politically we will work together to register our people to vote and then educate them regarding the issues, urging them to vote Biblically, electing godly leaders at all levels of government, for the glory of God.  We will promote neither party and will endorse no candidates, but we will promote God’s principles in government, praying daily for revival.

The plan:  This Tuesday, and every Tuesday until March 23rrd, we will conduct a teleconference at 9AM Eastern Time, for 45 minutes. Every pastor that gets on the call for the first time will be urged to recruit 7 more pastors for the next call. 

Our first call had 15 participants. The second call had 26 participants.  If the numbers increase sufficiently to indicate that pastors are taking ownership of this effort toward national revival, we will proceed to calling for the rally on July 7, 2010.  This determination will

Your responsibility: Copy this plan and send it to seven pastors who share the burden you hold for this nation.  Then commit to giving this effort your support each Tuesday until March 23^rd.  If we agree to pursue this vision of national revival, it will be our responsibility to pray for, contribute toward, and execute the plan to get 7,000 Pastors to San Antonio on the 7^th day of July.

Please consider the possibilities if…

ü  Seven thousand pastors gather with broken and contrite hearts, seeking God for this nation….

ü  Participating in a Seven day chosen fast, starting on July 1^st and concluding it…

ü  On the Seventh day of the Seventh month of this year…

ü  In the Seventh largest city of America…

ü  Where for Seven hours we will seek God together for revival and renewal…

ü  Then, for the next seventeen weeks…

1.      We will educate our people about America’s godly heritage;

2.      We will teach our church families how to think Biblically about the  issues confronting our country;

3.      We will conduct voter registration drives in our churches, holding a minimum of two Citizenship Sundays in our churches.

4.      We will call them to vote their Biblical values on Election Day, not as Republicans, Democrats or Independents, but as Sons and Daughters of the Lord Jesus Christ.

If we will do our part, God will do His part.  “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chron. 7:14

This country was birthed out the fires of a national revival that came to be known as the “Great Awakening.” which in turn gave us the wonderful Declaration of Independence, which forever enshrined these words…

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

If we are to be brought back from the brink, we must have another great awakening.  I believe July 7, 2010, is a day of destiny for our nation, and we Pastors hold the key.
