MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- In June 2008, GOD TV's Wendy Alec received a startling prophecy concerning coming judgment on the State of California, but Wendy and her husband Rory, who jointly head up GOD TV, believe this can be stayed, if Christians will gather together in steadfast prayer and intercession for this region.

The GOD TV founders are therefore urging believers across the USA and the nations to participate in a critical prayer event this weekend as the network breaks with its normal schedule to air a solemn assembly of prayer and fasting LIVE from San Francisco. Organized by the Justice House of Prayer in San Francisco, the meeting will be led by Lou Engle of TheCall and will feature prayers of intercession and repentance. The LIVE broadcast will be introduced by Rory & Wendy Alec, who will link to the event from the GOD TV studio in England.

The LIVE broadcast will air at 7pm local time (PST) / 10pm (EST) on Friday August 8, enabling DIRECTV viewers to watch on channel 365 and Sky Angel IPTV viewers to watch on channel 138. Internet viewers will be able to watch via webstreaming at www.god.tv/stream or via video on demand at www.god.tv/god. Highlights of the program will also be carried on GOD TV on Sunday August 10.

"God is looking for intercessors to stand in the gap on behalf of California and we who are believers are those intercessors," said Lou Engle. "We as the Church must repent for our attitudes toward the homosexual community and replace faultfinding with intercession. It is also our responsibility to plead the Blood of Jesus over the innocent bloodshed of millions of unborn babies and intercede for those in authority. To ignore the urgency of the times, would be to stand by as this State is thrown in front of a spiritual freight train. Now is our time to fast and pray."

Wendy Alec prophesied on June 14, 2008 that the scales of sin were so full over California that judgment could not be withheld if there was no repentance and she warned of coming devastation in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but that God would establish His own Golden Gate of repentance, revival, cleansing and holiness: "And I saw thousands of the tiniest of lights, these were intercessors meeting in small groups – piercing the heavenlies. Then the brighter lights were fellowships of churches all across California... and it was because of these ones that the judgment would be stayed and I saw a sign that read: 'MORE TIME - REVIVAL FIRE'.   And the Lord said,  'A great grace shall arise from California that shall impact the north even to the state of Washington'."   The full text of this prophetic word, entitled 'The Bay' can be read at www.unknownprophet.com.

"This is an extremely important event for GOD TV at this time when America faces a crucial election and especially with the current push to try and legitimize same sex marriage across the USA, starting in California," said Wendy Alec, who is the director of television at GOD TV.  "It has been said: 'As San Francisco goes, so goes California and as California goes, so goes the nation'. There has never been a more crucial time for Christians across the USA to pray into this situation and we believe we can gain the prayer support of millions more as we air this wake-up call to believers on GOD TV around the world."

GOD TV chief executive, Rory Alec said he looked forward to welcoming viewers to the LIVE broadcast. "According to Scripture, God doesn't do anything without first telling His servants," he said, quoting Amos 3:7, "so that they can sound the alarm as they are led of the Lord. GOD TV has been raised up as an extraordinary prophetic platform for this time - with a powerful ability to rally the Body of Christ like never before and now is the time to sound the alarm in San Francisco. We carry a great burden in our hearts for America and feel we must pray fervently for California right now."

The Justice House of Prayer in San Francisco, takes place exactly a week before TheCall, DC, a mass gathering on the National Mall on August 16, also led by Lou Engle, where a one million-strong crowd is expected to gather at National Mall. This will also be televised LIVE by GOD TV. For more information visit: www.thecall.com or www.god.tv.
