The following is a talk given by Lou Engle in 2008 at an October 2008 Pre-Call rally, prior to the November 1, 2008 TheCall event held in San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium. Engle's talk was broadcast internationally in GodTV.
Here are some of the notable points Engle's made in his talk:
- The moral climate in California is comparable to Baal-worship during the Biblical rule of Jezebel.
- Legal abortion is comparable to the sacrifice of infants to the God Molech, and Engle claims Planned Parenthood is the Molech of our time.
- Engle claims he made 3,000 phone calls to leaders and pastors during the anti-gay marriage, pro-Proposition Eight push in California prior to the November 4, 2008 presidential election.
- There cannot be peace in California until "sorceries, adulteries, and witchcraft" are stopped.
- GodTV is "fueling the prayer movement worldwide."
- Hispanic evangelicals are the key part of an electoral strategy to make California a "pro-life" state. As Engle stated,
We believe that the Latinos are going to be a mighty force to turn America back to God. I am burning with a passion for the Latinos. Cindy Jacobs prophesied that California will be a pro-life state. The only way that will happen is MILLIONS of Latinos begin to understand that they can literally turn elections!
And that they can bring their fasting and prayer from South America and Latin America and not leave their prophetic fire at the border ! [applause] And bring it up into Texas and into Arizona and into California, to awaken some of the cold blood of the white folk.
