The National Bible Readathon
An Introduction
"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)
The National Bible Readathon was launched on October 31st, 2016, at the prompting of the Holy Spirit. In our history, below, we will share the details with you of how this amazing effort has come into being, its mission, and what has now been happening in the Readathon in the months that have followed.

Our History: Part One
Our Past Experiences with Bible Readathons
Last fall, as we all began to offer earnest intercession for our national election, the thought came that it would be timely to launch another Bible Readathon, inviting many ministries to join on a conference line to call forth the Word of God over our nation for a set period of time.
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners had already been privileged to host these telephonic Readathons twice in previous years, so we were excited to see this vision come to pass again.
The Readathons are based upon the same initiative that we have experienced here in Washington, D.C. and which is now also taking place all across the nation -- reading the entire Word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, nonstop. BUT this time, instead of reading the Word together, on site, from a single pulpit, saints are invited to join in a nationwide telephone line, continuing our nonstop reading of the Word in this format.

The Launching of the Current Readathon
The current Bible Readathon was launched at 12:01 a.m. on Monday morning, October 31, 2016.
We entered into the Reading of the Word at that time, beginning with Genesis, Chapter One, Verse One: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. " We then continued reading for the next 24 hours through midnight on Tuesday morning.
Another ministry team picked up the reading from there, and continued on for the next 24 hours, until midnight on Wednesday morning, November 2.
Day by day, different national ministries joined us in reading His Word across our land . . . before, during and after the election . . . ending on Friday night, November 11, 2016.
The whole Word of God was read through, from Genesis to Revelation, three times, with a total of twelve ministry teams invited to participate.
THIS WAS A TRULY GLORIOUS EVENT!

What Happened Next . . .

What Happened Next . . .
What happened next took everyone by surprise!
As we completed the third cycle of the reading of the Word, we reached Revelation 22: 20,21 -- It is written:
20 "He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly."
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
THE SHOFARS SOUNDED, AND THERE WAS GREAT EXCITEMENT AND REJOICING IN THE CAMP!
. . . BUT THE BURDEN OF OUR LORD HAD NOT LIFTED!
"Could it be that Abba would have us to CONTINUE in this effort?" we asked each other? And as we sought Him in quiet prayer, the answer was . . . YES.

God Reveals His Plan

God Reveals His Plan
As we sought our Lord for His blueprint in a continued Readathon, we knew that our 24/7 commitment would not be possible. So, we went back to Him, to know what He would call all of us to do next . . .
The answer came quickly:
CONTINUE TO READ, BUT ONLY SIX HOURS EACH NIGHT, WITH READERS VOLUNTEERING TO JOIN IN AS THEY CAN.
Those six hours were to be from midnight to 6:00 a.m., seven nights per week, Eastern Time.

WHERE WE ARE NOW . . . AND HOW TO JOIN US!
|
|||
|
||||
WHERE WE ARE NOW . . .
We are now in the process of continuing in this amazing work. Night after night, different saints join us in the reading of the Word. There is really no talking on these calls; simply reading His Word out loud back to Him. Amen!
If you love our Lord and His Word, then this experience is a true delight. Whether you are a "night owl," an "early bird," or simply one who is "desperate for Jesus," we welcome you to join us in this continued Readathon.
COME JOIN US!
HERE'S HOW TO GET CONNECTED . . .
Log on to the Readathon at 12 midnight through 6 a.m. EDT, every night. The number is: 712 - 770 - 4340. The access code is 350430#.
When you call in, please wait to give your name until our hostess asks you to do so. You will immediately be told the Scripture we are reading from; then later you may join us in reading OUT LOUD should you wish to do so. If not, simply inform the hostess of your own wish to serve as one of our "silent readers", and we will then proceed.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT
THE NATIONAL BIBLE READATHON EXPERIENCE
1. From Pastor Pam in California:
I have been reading the Book of Daniel the last couple of days, because I see such parallels between what is depicted there and what has happened in our own nation over the last decades in particular.
Praise God that our Read-A-Thon initiative is continuing. We have to continually stomp down any new thing or counter-act the work of the enemy, designed to re-erect his high places. This is a forever battle-until Jesus returns. But if we persist, the "gates of Hell, will not prevail against us".
Thank God, that he has given us that promise in his Word. Thank God, that we already know that we win.
2. And from Dr. Beverly, also in California:
DEAR COMMANDOS . . .STRIKE, STRIKE, STRIKE, STRIKE, KEEP STRIKING . . . LORD SHOOT YOUR ARROWS . . . AT YOUR ENEMIES . . . ISAIAH 55:12
"Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In."
3. And finally, from our Readathon Coordinator, Janet in Florida:
Pray! Our job is clear.
Come read the word of God over our new president, all the appointed leaders, State leaders and all the people of the USA and Israel. Log on to the Readathon at 12 midnight through 6 a.m. every day. The number is 712 - 770 - 4340. The access code is 350430#.
G-d's word does not return void! It is changing the atmosphere of our nation. Come join us!

In Closing . . .
I can truly say that it has been my DELIGHT to be able to unveil to all of you the JOY of this strategy - birthed by the Hand of God and now continuing on for almost six months by the work of a "faithful few."
I will add, too, that in the times that I have been in the Word with the brethren on this call, I have been truly TRANSFORMED by the reading of His Word - a joy unspeakable!
We thank our Lord, too, that IT IS WRITTEN:
"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It
shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it
shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
(Isaiah 55:11) Sara C. Ballenger, Founder and President
