Prayer Preparation for Wichita’s Summer of Justice
Three Days of Prophetic Prayer and Fasting for Wichita:
July 11th- 13th, 2016
Operation Save America is gearing up for our next great adventure in serving the Lord. From July 16th-23rd saints from across America, coupled with the local church in Wichita, KS will participate in Operation Save America’s national event commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Summer of Mercy.
To help prepare the way of the Lord as we set our face like flint towards Wichita, we are consecrating three days for prayer and fasting. This call is sent out to those who are coming to and to those who cannot make it, but are with us in spirit. This special time, set apart, is extremely important as we seek to advance the Gospel of the Kingdom against the gates of hell. We must obtain God’s blessing, favor, and an open heaven to achieve Kingdom success.
The book of Acts reveals that before the Holy Spirit came in power, the people of God were in one accord. We know from scripture and from experience that when God’s people get lost in the vision and mission of God, unity commands a blessing and that blessing is “life forevermore” (Psalms 133). Unity is not a root obtained by pursuing it, but a fruit, a gift, that God grants His people who obey Him.
We also are well aware that the church cannot win this battle in the arm of the flesh. It is the anointing that destroys the yoke. “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD Almighty” (Zechariah 4:6). The same Holy Spirit that empowered the early church to face and overcome the evil of their day, is the same Holy Spirit we need to do the same in our day. The Apostle Paul declared, “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” (1 Corinthians 2:4, 5). If the Apostle Paul needed this empowerment to be effectual, how much more do we?
Moreover, we need to employ every spiritual weapon and godly principle God has granted His people to be effectual in His service. Most of you know that when we “take it to the streets,” we incorporate the high praises of God, the intimate worship of God, prayers, intercessions, travail, and the blessed proclamation of the Gospel of the Kingdom. As we do these things, we trust that God will watch over His Word to perform it, with mighty signs and wonders following (Jeremiah 1:12; Mark 16:20).
To add to this arsenal, it is vital to include the prayer of agreement. “Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:19-20).
To help fulfill this admonishment from our Lord, we have put together a prayer guide based upon the book of Psalms.
Historically, the book of Psalms has served as the hymnal and prayer guide of the church. It covers the gamut of human endeavors, human emotion, and human predicaments as it relates to God and His will on the earth. It ranges from high exaltation of praise, deep sorrow, cries of justice against God’s enemies, and celebration of great victories.
Practically, there are 150 Psalms that we will divide into three days; 50 Psalms each day. We took one or two key verses from each of the Psalms to use them as an inspiration to guide our prayers. 1 John reminds us of the importance of praying God’s Word. 1 John 5:14, 15 states, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” Just know, you are not limited by these scriptural references, but I would encourage you to use the book of Psalms as your guide during this appointed time of prayer and fasting.
Another key point as you begin this journey, one aspect of true intercession means “to take the place of.” God’s Word admonishes us to be a voice for the voiceless (Proverbs 31:8, 9). This we intend to do on the streets of Wichita. This time of prayer and fasting, however, will also be utilized to be the voice of the preborn. The preborn cannot pray for their plight, but we can. This kind of intercession will prayerfully prepare the way to intervene and save their lives. Some of the Psalms chosen capture the cry of the oppressed who desperately need God’s intervention. Use these Scriptures to provide the cry on the behalf of the preborn. In other words, if you were in their predicament, how would you pray?
Initially, the plan was to copy and paste the Scriptures to provide easy access to pray. The plan changed. It would be more beneficial, if we took the time to look up these Scriptures, meditate upon them, and then incorporate them into prayer. We pray the Lord grant the grace and time needed to fulfill these three days of consecrated prayer and fasting. May we also see the results of this special time manifested throughout Wichita as we go to stand in the gap and make up the hedge in Jesus’ name!

MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 19, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ — On Saturday, May 21st, at 11 AM in Montgomery, Alabama, a rally will be held to support Chief Justice Roy Moore, marriage, The United States Constitution, the Alabama Constitution, and the rule of law. It will be held at the Alabama Supreme Court, 300 Dexter Ave, Montgomery, Alabama 36104.
Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas, National Director of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America, will be one of the speakers to address the rally. Rev. Thomas’s message is as follows:
The prophet Isaiah warned, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter (Isaiah 5:20). Our nation has long rejected Biblical truth and we labor now under a stupor of delusion. When good becomes evil, it should not be surprising that the good guys become the bad guys. The movie Robin Hood states our current situation well, “In the days of lawlessness, those who keep the law become the outlaw.”
Our federal government for decades has been codifying evil into law. In the name of new federal values, they are destroying Christian and family values. In the name of government, they betray their sacred trust as government. In the name of the Constitution, they violate the Constitution. Under the color of law, they impose lawlessness upon the citizens of America and upon the great state of Alabama. Our federal government continues to make straight what God has called crooked, turn moral wrongs into civil rights, and demand that “We the People” tolerate the intolerable. In the midst of this tyranny and moral anarchy, God has raised up a champion, none other than Chief Justice Roy Moore.
As a Lesser Magistrate, Chief Justice Roy Moore, is standing in the gap between federal tyranny and the life, liberty, and property of the citizens of Alabama and our nation. It is my sincere prayer that his example will spread like wild fire to inspire governors, state legislators, sheriffs, and other lower magistrates to rise up with one voice to say no to the federal beast, place the chain back on our federal government, restore law and order, and reestablish the checks and balances necessary to secure a future and hope for our nation in Jesus’ mighty name
Here is the interview with Life Dynamics. Brother Mark Crutcher and I discuss Maafa 21 and its impact within the black community and our national event in Wichita.
On my way back to Wichita yesterday, I received an interesting phone call from HBO. They are interested in coming to be embedded within OSA for our national event in Wichita from July 16-23. They desire to film a documentary on the battle over abortion in America. They are curious about what the future may hold, plus, the history of the battle as it relates to Wichita. Specifically, what happened at the Summer of Mercy event that changed the course of abortion in America.
As we share the vision and mission of our national event from July 16-23, it is becoming clear that this project is taking on a life of its own. Diverse entities are interested in what may happen for a variety of reasons. Regardless, it now looks like with HBO’s involvement, our Biblical messages and godly activities will go international. Obviously, the need for intercession to make sure we stay faithful to God and speak the truth in love to overcome the culture of death has risen exponentially.
Letter Sent to 600 Pastors in Wichita
Our boots on the ground in Wichita have been diligent to spread the vision and mission. A dear brother who fought the battle back in 1991 is letting us use his contact list of 600 pastors to promote the Summer of Justice. This is the letter that went out. There will be more to follow.
Operation Save America (OSA), whose mission is for repentance and restoration of America, is planning their national event in Wichita this summer commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Summer of Mercy. OSA is partnering with the Wichita “church” for a week of events that are scheduled for July 16th through the 23rd.
The 1991 Summer of Mercy signaled a significant turning point in the battle against child killing in America as well as Wichita. In 1991 there were 2167 free standing abortion mills in America and four in Wichita. Today there are 517 mills defiling our nation and one left in Wichita.
Prolife Christians in America have unfinished kingdom business that we must complete in Jesus’ name.
We are calling all prolife Christians and churches in Wichita and across Kansas to mark your calendars, pray, and prepare your hearts for this monumental event.
“The gates of hell will not prevail against the church of the living God.”(Matt. 16:18)
“Dear Pastor/Local Church Leader,
The Prolife movement is clearly winning nationally. It is time to shine the light again in Wichita, Kansas. The legal free speech rights as churches and believers are a powerful tool to push back darkness. When we as Christians sing and pray and speak the word at the actual clinic abortion reduces and sometimes stops. All of us as one church are unstoppable. This is the first letter of several to help keep you informed related to this week of events and encourage you to participate and bring others.
Pastor Rob Ratola
Word of Life Church”

Lastly, the Lord opened the door to meet with Dick Bott who runs 102 radio stations throughout America. He is completely on board to promote the event nationwide. God willing, we will meet this Thursday to come up with a plan.
God is moving and opening incredible doors. Right after Wichita, it will be off to Montgomery, AL to stand with Chief Justice Roy Moore. They are having a rally at 300 Dexter Ave at the Alabama Supreme Court on May 21st, at 11 AM. They asked me to share a brief exhortation in support of Chief Justice Roy Moore. Right afterwards, there will be a meeting with the locals to discuss how we can all help in the future.
Keep pressing on saints and I hope you are making plans to come to Wichita. It is shaping up to be quite a time in the Lord’s providence.
