We hope several of you are planning to join us in Little Rock, Arkansas, this September 12-16, 2012, as part of our States of Refuge project.  God has been doing so much through the local group in preparation for this great event.  We will be at high schools, abortionists neighborhoods, the Capital, and, of course, we will be at the last free standing abortion mill in the state of Arkansas.  Here is Rusty’s invitation.

See you at the gates in Little Rock! ~ Flip

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

One of the important aspects of OSA’s ministry is to raise up and train local Christians to storm the gates of hell in their community. One such person is chaplain Rich Hagen in Little Rock, AR. Here is his invitation for those far and near to come to our next phase of the States of Refuge campaign. We hope to see you there.

_________________________________________________

The next phase in the States of Refuge Campaign is from September 12-16, OSA will conduct a regional event in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is our desire to present to Our Lord Jesus an abortion free state and to work until this is accomplished. This is the Gospel in action, out in the highways and byways compelling people to come in to the kingdom and pressing upon them the crown rights of King Jesus. We are asking, even pleading for the Christians of Arkansas to come out and be the light and salt in Little Rock.

“Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.” (Proverbs 31:8)

You can view our facebook page and stay up to date with schedules and events. Each evening we will hold rallies/worship services and hear sober and God-honoring preaching by Rev. Flip Benham and Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas and others. Each day we will be out preaching at the abortion facility, where they kill our nation’s children. Come hear and see what the Lord is doing all across this nation to “stop the mouths of lions…escape[d] the edge of the sword…[and] wax[ed] valiant in fight…” right here in Little Rock. We do serve an Almighty and Glorious God.

God has already gone before us and secured a host church, Victory Fellowship, and reasonable hotel accommodations.

This article written by Lisa Metzger, wife of Mark and home school mom of ten children, sums up the thoughts of most of us who attended Flip’s trial this past Friday, August 10, 2012.  God’s hand was so very evident in all of the proceedings in the courtroom that day.

 

Miraculous Vindication for a Contender of the Faith

“The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.” ~ Proverbs 21:1

 As we read in Scripture, God directs and rules over those in authority. This past Friday, the Heavenly Judge directed a lowly mortal judge to rule in favor of a man of God.

 Flip Benham had been erroneously convicted of stalking a Charlotte abortionist in July 2011, which has since been appealed and is awaiting a verdict by the appellate court. When the State’s prosecution filed a revocation of bond late last month, during the Operation Save America National Event, Flip was summoned to the Mecklenburg County Courthouse to defend his right to remain free on bond. Claiming that Flip violated the terms of his post-conviction release, the wording of the prosecution’s motion appeared to have already solidified the grim fate of this hearing. There seemed no way out of this legal snare.

Though all seemed bleak initially, God supplied a man for such a time as this. No longer did Flip need to rely on a public defender that lacked the spiritual conviction to argue such a case. David Redding, a commercial litigation attorney and Benham family friend, was called by his Savior to serve as a temporary criminal defender, just for this hearing.  

On the morning of the bond revocation hearing, many of Flip’s friends, family and supporters arrived at the courthouse to pray for Flip’s exoneration, while many covered him in prayer from a distance. Though he trusted God for His Will to be accomplished, Flip realistically presumed that he would be leaving that courthouse in handcuffs to spend the next 75 days in the Mecklenburg County Jail.

Despite testimony from multiple accusers, including some who lied under oath, a very frustrated judge was lawfully obligated to rule in Flip’s favor. Why? Directed by God, Attorney David Redding found a statute in North Carolina that states: A judge authorizing release of a defendant under this section must issue an appropriate order containing a statement of the conditions imposed, if any; inform the defendant in writing of the penalties applicable to violations of the conditions of his release; and advise him that his arrest will be ordered immediately upon any such violation. The order of release must be filed with the clerk and a copy given the defendant.”

During the initial sentencing, this same judge failed to serve Flip with written terms of his post-conviction release on bond. Therefore, Flip had no knowledge as to the specific conditions and stipulations of his bond, and therefore could not adhere to those specifications. In addition, Flip was never arrested for violating the conditions of the bond, which means that he was never observed in defiance of such, even though an officer testified that 50-100 percent of a city’s police force was present during the alleged violations.

Miraculously, these God-ordained details allowed for this unforeseen victory in an earthly court of law. God saw fit to use a Christian litigation attorney and a previously overlooked legal statute to vindicate a man of God who faithfully contends for the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the streets of the City of Charlotte.

 

I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.” ~ Jude 3

The Telegraph is London, England’s largest Newspaper.  It is a very liberal.  Yet even this yellow rag was shocked at the rant of Adam Smith towards a young lady at Chick-fil-A, and abortionist Ron Virmani’s tirade against “ugly black babies.”  Amazing that The Telegraph would expose the hatred that exists on the part of the left towards those on the right

Why are those on the left filled with such culpable rage?  The Bible tells us in Genesis 3:15, when God places his curse upon the devil:  “And I will put enmity (hatred) between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heal.”  It is the battle between two seeds (the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman) that is savaging this world throughout the Bible and the pages of history.

It manifested itself most recently through the persons of Adam Smith and Ron Virmani.  All the world can see that it is really God that they hate.      ~ Flip

Our good friends at Jeremiah’s Call came to be with us at the court house for my bond revocation hearing.  They took some video of the media interviewing me.  Here is a little two minute excerpt from that interview.  We could not give you the Channel 14 video because the abortionist’s name and picture appeared on the news clip at several different points.  We are not allowed to post the name of the abortionist on our website.

Enjoy! ~ Flip

 

This is a letter from our wonderful friend John Barros who is celebrating his second year of full-time ministry at the Orlando Women’s Center (OWC), in Orlando, Florida.  John has been a faithful witness for Christ at this abortion mill for a lot longer than two years and so many young children are alive today because he has been there. 

Enjoy!    ~ Flip

 

Several of us spent many hours at the Orlando Women’s Center (OWC) abortion mill during our National Event last summer in Orlando, Florida.  We know well the great saints like John Barros and Deanna Waller who stand in the gap on behalf of babies waiting to be born.  It is so very disheartening to see situations like this.  But it is not at all uncommon.  If only the Church of Jesus Christ would rise up and speak and live the Truth at the gates of hell!

The one very disheartening thing for me is to read the comments that folks write after watching this 38 second video. How darkened can we be? “…They perish because they refuse to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12.

Here’s the story via wbtv.com in Charlotte. ~ Flip

 

This little 38 second video has provided a huge platform for others to expose the true history, motive, and nature of the abortion industry.  The video has helped so many to see what we see every day at the abortion mills.  Thank you Jesus for enabling us to shine your glorious light and expose the treachery that abortion really is.  ~ Flip
