A great friend of our Lord Jesus Christ and His precious preborn babies was pummeled at a Denver grocery store while seeking signatures for the Personhood Amendment.  Many of you know Everett Stadig, the Abraham Lincoln look alike who is as gentle and kind a man that I know.  God has given him a tremendous platform in Denver to share the Gospel of Christ and the plight of preborn babies via a very incredible sequence of events.  ~ Flip

Attack on a Pro- Lifers Leads to the Arrest of a Serial Rapist

Everett Stadig is a Christian prolife activist and an Abe Lincoln look alike.  Because of his witness for Jesus and his uncanny resemblance to Abraham Lincoln he is well recognized by everyone in the Stapleton area.  He is also well known by Denver police officers because he is at the Planned Parenthood abortion mill in Stapleton daily where Denver police routinely interact with the prolifers.

June 30, 2012 during the final push to gather signatures for Colorado’s Personhood amendment, 69 Year old Stadig was collecting signatures outside the Stapleton King Soopers when he was attacked and thrown off his bike to the ground by a vulgar, angry man in the parking lot.   There was a witness at the scene that saw the attack and recorded the assailant’s license plate number and gave it to the police.  Everett was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he underwent surgery for a broken hip.

The police report did not identify Everett, it said that an elderly man fell in the King Soopers parking lot.  It said nothing about an altercation, confrontation or attack which was very disturbing to Everett who was lying in a hospital bed with months of rehab ahead of him.  With the help of prolifers and two pro bono lawyers pressure was applied and the Denver police department began to investigate the crime.

Eventuallly, William Costello was arrested for the attack on Everett Stadig.  “Katie’s Law” allows law enforcement to procure DNA samples after a felony arrest.  That DNA linked William Costello to three rapes that he was charged with on November 16, 2012.

Lynn Kimbrough with the district attorney’s office stated, “William Costello, 47, has been charged with two counts of second-degree kidnapping, two counts of sexual assault on a child, three counts of sexual assault, and two counts of impersonating a peace officer.  Costello was arrested and charged in July 2012 with assault on an at-risk adult following a confrontation between Costello and a man collecting petition signatures.  “Costello’s DNA was taken at the time of his arrest pursuant to Katie’s Law, and was then linked to three unsolved sexual assault cases occurring in 2008, 2010, and 2011.”

Costello is alleged to have raped a 13 year old girl, in March 2008, a 22 year old woman in 2010 and a 49 year old woman in 2011.

According to Mr. Stadig he was attacked because he collecting personhood signatures.  “In a telephone interview from his hospital bed, Stadig told LifeSiteNews that the man was “in his mid-thirties and looked about six foot tall.” He refused to sign, and began to swear and shout at Stadig.  “He was yelling ‘I’m pro-choice!’”  Stadig recalled, adding that he used “most foul language.”

Stadig explained that being ‘pro-choice’ meant pro-abortion, and again urged him to sign. At first the man walked away, but returned half a minute later, still swearing and yelling.  “He said ‘you don’t have a right to be here!’” Stadig related, “and I said ‘I do have a right to be here, this is a Colorado Petition Drive’. Then he grabbed my petition pad, and with the same movement threw me to ground, and I was hurt so bad I couldn’t get up.”

Seems Mr. Costello has a dog in the fight for personhood.   Where is a rapist going to get rid of the evidence of his crime without the abortionist?

In this news report Denver District Attorney, Mitchell R. Morrissey said that this crime is one of the most “significant offenses that we’ve had”.  He also said that without Katie’s law the cases would have gone unsolved.

Everett Stadig said that without the dogged perseverance of pro-lifers, Attorney Rebecca Messall and Attorney Barry Arrington the case may never have been investigated.  He just may be right.  In light of the fact that the original police report stated that an elderly man fell in the King Sooper’s parking lot despite an eye witness account of the attack. Also nothing was done to pursue his assailant until law enforcement officers were contacted by Everett’s lawyers.

Since Mr. Stadig is a well-known local Christian pro-life activist, could it be that police wrote him off as a nuisance because of a preexisting prejudice against Christian pro-lifers?    That remains to be seen.

Everett can be heard just a day after his surgery in an interview on the Bob Enyart Live radio show.

Here are some pictures of him in the hospital:

Most of you know Dan Becker or have read his awesome book on “Personhood.”  Well, it appears as if the folks in Georgia will be able to vote for the “Personhood” Amendments in 2014 if things go as planned.  In Georgia, there is no doubt how the vote will go if the folks are given an opportunity to vote for the “personhood” of the preborn child.  Here’s the story via lc.org!

Praise the Lord!  ~ Flip

 

 

Doc Johnston and his whole wonderful family will be with us for our National Event here in Charlotte this July 21-28.  They have been working hard for “Personhood” in their state of Ohio.  Most importantly, they have been steadily advancing the Kingdom of God in their neighborhood, their city, their state, and their nation.  Where does vision like that come from?

A Milestone Reached En Route to Justice for the Preborn in Ohio

As of July 4, over 370 Ohioans have gathered 21,422 signatures and donated to help protect every preborn Ohioan under Ohio law. The past eight months, we have sent 40 thousand mailings and made 55 thousand phone calls! Tens of thousands of dollars of radio ads have gone out over the airwaves. We’ve been interviewed on television and radio, printed in the USA Today, World Magazine, in every major newspaper in Ohio, plus dozens of other newspapers and online news organizations. Praise God, donations come in as fast as we spend the money! The Ohio pro-life grassroots are showing that they are tired of regulating abortion – they want “liberty and justice for all” Ohioans! It’s so exciting to be a part of what God is doing in Ohio. The state that led the way in abolishing slavery is leading the way in abolishing abortion.

We have our sights firmly set on 2014 to get on the Ohio ballot. You can help us make Ohio the first state in the nation to protect every preborn baby since Roe v. Wade. Catch the vision! Don’t be a bystander – join the mission! Help us get into churches! Help us with desperately needed funding for mailings! Help us protect “the least” of God’s children. Visit www.PersonhoodOhio.com

“That Photo Is Way Too Controversial!”Picture on the<br />
                                                    front of our June<br />
                                                    mailing 

That was the comment we received soon after we designed our last postcard, delivered to 10,000 pro-life Ohioans last week. The striking concept the picture conveys is a painful one to comprehend, but true nonetheless: abortion kills a baby and hurts a mother. Scientific studies are proving the truth of the claim of Scripture, that sooner or later, sin produces misery. Abortion increases the mother’s risk of breast cancer,  depression, suicide, premature deliveries of future babies, and a host of other problems, but you would never know that if you got your news from the mainstream media.

The Holocaust of over 50 million Americans can only thrive under an environment of censorship. The American public and the media cannot tolerate pictures such as the one on our postcard.

For being so accustomed to images of violence and gore from Hollywood, don’t you find their abhorrence at having to view images of aborted children peculiar? The pictures of dead babies killed by abortion paint a thousand words, and emasculates all of the pathetic justifications for abortion. Did you know that over the last four decades, abortion is the most common surgery in America? And yet it has been wholly censored from the eyes of the American public.

Sometimes, God leads His prophets to show the people their sin.

“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins” (Isaiah 58:1).

 

“Truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin” (Micah 3:8).

The American public is way under-horrified by abortion. In our pursuit of justice for the preborn, one of the things we must do is awake the public to the horrifying reality of child-killing. We must show the people their sin. Just as a physician may need to show the patient the evidence of the diagnosis and prognosis before prescribing a remedy, those that have had abortions, paid for abortions, and justified abortion will never experience forgiveness until they come to grips with what they have done.

One of the ways you can activate the public to be concerned about the plight of the preborn is to share the images of aborted – images like the video on the website of the Center for Bioethical Reform – www.AbortionNO.org

. This video is a lightening bolt of truth to awaken people from their apathy and slumber. If you spread this link to your friends on facebook and on your Email list, you’ll find many of them will be enraged about the images of the slain, especially those whose hands are stained with blood. Be quick to offer the mercy available through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Others simply protest because the pictures are difficult to look at. However, if something is too horrifying to look at, it is too horrifying to tolerate. God sees these babies being dismembered every single day, and He is angry with Ohio for the shedding of innocent blood. We must feel God’s heartbeat for “the least” of His children, and we must be energized by His Spirit to intervene and “rescue those being led away to slaughter” (Proverbs 24).

More taxpayer funding of abortion…

In the Bible, the shedding of innocent blood was often the last straw before God finally sent judgment. God promised and sent judgments to Israel such as economic disaster, defeat in battle, natural disasters, and “madness of heart.” Because they did not end the killing of other people’s children, God told them “your children will be dashed in pieces against a stone” (Hosea 10). Under God’s judgment, the Jews starved, were crucified, and cruelly enslaved because they refused to repent and do justice to protect the innocent. Many nations and empires greater than us have been annihilated because of their sin. If God did not exempt Israel – His chosen people, the apple of His eye – from judgment for her sin, why do we act like the U.S.A. is exempt?

Our nation shows no signs of even slowing the momentum into socialism and godlessness. With the passage of Obamacare, we’ve never had more taxpayer funding for abortion in our nation’s history. Large pro-life and pro-family groups in Ohio watch abortion-abolition movements like Personhood Ohio from the sidelines, preferring to regulate abortion than end it. Entrenched pro-life leaders believe that we are obligated to submit to judicial tyranny, and that we need to work to get pro-life presidents to appoint pro-life justices. You’d think that Robert Thompson’s vote for Obama’s communist, abortion-funding healthcare bill would help them re-think their failed pro-life strategy, but they don’t appear to be budging. Too many of them are far too comfortable with child-killing. They don’t see “the hand-writing on the wall” for America. Judgment is coming to our land, and Ohio’s opportunity to avert judgment is brief. We must protect the children, or we will lose our freedoms and our posterity will be enslaved.

All God’s looking for is a remnant “whose heart is perfect toward Him” in order to “show Himself strong” (II Chronicles 16:9). All God’s looking for is a remnant to avert judgment (Ezekiel 22:30-31). God prefers to resurrect leaders out of the grassroots than to prop up the status quo. He loves to do exploits through His underdogs. Just as Israel’s faith was tested in the wilderness before they could conquer their Promised Land, so our faith will be tested, for it is through faith we’ll cross the Jordan River into our Promised Land of “liberty and justice for all.” Ohio’s Personhood initiative draws a line in the sand between those who “sigh and cry” over the sins of the land that are bringing judgment upon us, and those who are comfortable to conserve the status quo (Ezekiel 9).

Will you sigh and cry with us? Will you mourn the 25,000 Ohioans who are slaughtered every year in our abortion clinics, and pray for their deliverance? Will you believe God with us, that every child will be protected under Ohio law?

Below is a report from Nicholas Jackson, one of the young men involved in our National Event in Columbus, Ohio, in July, 2004.  Nicholas reports that another abortion mill, Capital Care  in the city of Columbus, Ohio, has shut its doors for good.  To God be the glory!

Enjoy!   ~ Flip

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

Another one bites the dust! To those of you who remember our Walk Across America in 2004, our national event that year was held in Columbus, Ohio. A brother who participated in that event just contacted me with this note and article. God is watching over His Word to perform it, time and time again. ~ Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

From Nicholas A. Jackson, “The Lord is moving in Ohio! Thank You Rusty for helping spur the hearts of the saints in Columbus when OSA was here several years ago! Here is fruit!” The following is part of the report.

An abortion clinic in Columbus, Ohio will be closing this week, according to local pro-life activists.

Capital Care has reportedly been plagued with decreased business and financial problems. They recently cut back clinic hours due to difficulty keeping abortionists. An increasingly strong pro-life presence in Central Ohio is credited with contributing to the decision to close.

The two abortionists known to work at Capital Care are Harley Blank and Thomas Michaelis. Blank, who also works at the Founder’s Women’s Health Center abortion clinic in Columbus was honored by Planned Parenthood earlier this year for his 30-year career as an abortionist in Columbus.

Michaelis, who now works at the Capital Care Network abortion clinic in Toledo, has a history of a different sort. In 1991, he was convicted of two counts of Attempted Gross Sexual Imposition, one count of Voyeurism, and one count of Public Indecency. The convictions involved incidents where Michaelis engaged in sexual predation on minor girls.

Here is the information for folks to sign the National Emancipation for the Preborn Child.

This link http://www.prebornemancipation.org/ enables you to sign the document and then send it to others.

In Christian love,

When petitioning in Mississippi for Personhood, we had the privilege to meet the new Governor of Mississippi, Phil Bryant. We talked briefly about Personhood and would he as Governor back Personhood to make Mississippi the first abortion free state. He responded, “Not only would I sign it into law, I would defend it.” As you will see in this article, this Governor is still committed “to make Mississippi abortion-free.”

If the Lord uses this bill to shut down the last remaining death camp, this would fufill part of the goal of the States of Refuge campaign, the first abortion free state in America. (One down and four more states to go) This would free up more resources to concentrate on the remaining four states that have one death camp defiling our land. Let us pray, soon and very soon, we will hear the joyful report that Mississippi has freed herself from the sin and crime of child sacrifice and blood guilt in Jesus’ name! ~ Rusty 

Friends, Greetings in the Name of Yeshua/Jesus our only God and King!
 
I have included a PowerPoint slide with information to send to your church today. If your church does not use PowerPoint for announcements the invite can still be read from the pulpit.
 
Remember, Word in warfare is more than a “Bible Reading Marathon”, or a simple little group read-a-long. It is 77 hours of non-stop spiritual warfare, praying the Word of God from beginning to end, aloud, in public and inviting everyone and anyone to do so. Intercessors and others can read one chapter and listen while others do the same in one group whether for a few minutes or taking a 2 hour shift day or night; doing it powerfully in the Spirit in front of Mississippi’s one remaining killing center in Jackson.
 
I will be arriving in Jackson, MS Sunday morning, April 1st and would ask you to join me Sunday afternoon at 4 PM at the Wesley Biblical Seminary to to kick off the Operation Save America year long 5 state campaign called the States of Refuge…targeting the 5 states in America with only one abortion mill.
If you are coming to Jackson and have housing needs please notify me immediately as hospitality is still available on a first come first served basis. No single hotel has been contracted for this event though several reasonable hotels are available.
 
Here is the invitation to present to your church via a Powerpoint slide:

Our brother Cal is fighting the good fight for the lives of preborn children by obtaining signatures on Personhood Amendment petitions.  How far we have been moved, as Christians, from proclaiming the Gospel of Christ.  We have become the criminals by standing for life while abortionists have become fine upstanding citizens for ripping apart little baby boys and girls. ~ Flip 

Here’s the Preliminary Statement

You all remember Pastor Andrew Street.  He gave the abortion mill in Fort Wayne, Indiana, heaven this 39th Memorial of Roe v. Wade as he conducted a press conference outside its doors.  The words he spoke were so full of truth and God’s Holy Spirit that I couldn’t wait for you to read them.

Powerful!   ~ Flip

January 20, 2012
39 years ago this coming Sunday, the Supreme Court of the United States of America de-criminalized this barbarism.  In that infamous Roe vs. Wade decision, they declared open season on defenseless unborn children from conception all the way up to birth!

Imagine standing in your back yard and your precocious 10-year-old son comes up behind you and asks: “Can I kill this?” Your instinctive reaction would be “What is it?” If it’s a mouse, shrew or snake he found in the bushes, not that big of a deal. But if it’s his 3-year-old sister, then you certainly wouldn’t grant permission!

Anyone who would answer the question, “Can I kill this” with a “Yes” without first asking “What?” would be punishable by law if indeed a human being is the object! Yet that is exactly what the Supreme Court did in 1973. Unless you are sure that the object in question is verifiably not-human, you have no grounds to justify it’s murder!

Our own president, Barack Hussien Obama, was posed the question: “When does human life begin?” He parried the question by saying, “That’s above my paygrade.” And yet he has been a staunch and ardent supporter of abortion with his voting record.  If you’re not sure, then you may not kill it!

Since 1973 medical science has done anything but verify the human embryo as non-human. Indeed, the more we have found out about the development of these little ones, the more and more we are forced to admit they are just as much a person, who needs the protection of the law, as any little defenseless child!

Abortion is not a political issue or an academic discussion, it’s a moral evil! Every Thursday morning, here at this abortion mill, 2210 Inwood Drive, Fort Wayne,  the abortionist, George Klopfer, reaches into the private sanctuaries of unborn children.  Without warning and without mercy he rips  their arms and legs from their bodies, rips their heads from their torsos and, if the head is too large, he crushes it and removes it piecemeal.

This is unconscionable! This is intolerable! Yet we as a nation, as a state, and as a city have not only tolerated it, we have approved it! My challenge to the media this morning is not to show those of us who are standing here, but to show the babies – the babies who have been victimized by abortion. You show what has happened when war and  terror strike a country; now show what happens when an abortionist strikes a baby!

We’ve outdone Hitler’s holocaust against the Jews by nearly 9 to 1!  And the greater tragedy is that we’re still counting the bodies.  Just yesterday there were even more mothers who went inside this mill to kill their babies.

God is the God of love and throughout the scriptures He tells His people to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.  All through the scriptures He commands us to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.  All through the scriptures He says, “Remember the fatherless,” and He’s told us to care for the “least of these.”  He’s said, “Rescue those being led away to death, those staggering toward slaughter, O hold them back! (Prov. 24:11)”  But not only have we not rescued them, as a nation, as a state and as a city, we have killed them!

Now
hear the Word of the Lord:
When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.   Isaiah 1:15

As a nation, we’re finding out that if you sow murder in the womb, you’re going to reap it in the streets!

We’re gathered here today to repent and to call to repentance.  We’re here today to declare our sorrow for allowing this gross evil to go on. We’re here today to pronounce the obvious:  The loving God of the Bible cannot and will not tolerate this sin! We’re not here to speak about the need for a cleaner clinic, increased regulation and tighter restrictions on abortion. There is but one acceptable solution: the killing must stop! This is not an issue to be relegated to the Congress, the Supreme Court or even the State House.  This is an issue for the citizens of Fort Wayne.  You must repent for allowing the blood of innocent children to course through your streets. You must stand against this evil because the politicians have not and will not until you do! You must speak up and speak out on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. God’s will is for an abortion-free Fort Wayne!

But we’re here also to extend redeeming grace.  The end of the story is not yet written for George Klopfer, or for the employees of this murder mill, or for the mothers who are contemplating killing their child.  No, not even for those mothers who have already killed their baby.  Jesus is not willing that any should perish, but that all will come to repentance! 

His Word states:
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, 17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. 18 ” Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool!” 
 Isaiah 1:16-18

Nationally, we are in dark and dangerous times.  God is judging our land.  If we continue to tolerate the intolerable sin of abortion, God’s judgment is going to get worse!  We have come to bring this city to the  awareness that God is judging our nation because we kill our young. We’ve come to say, “Enough! It’s time to quit this sin TODAY!”

But personally, grace is still available.  You can be forgiven, cleansed by the blood of Jesus, and set free from all your guilt.  We’ve come to offer help, real help, healing and hope through Jesus Christ.  We’ve come to invite the city of Fort Wayne and its surrounding areas, and especially the pastors and churches in and around this “City of Steeples ” to stand up, stand out and speak against this intolerable wickedness!   Fort Wayne, you may not, you cannot, kill  your children!

“When religion is in a state of quiet and prosperity … the soldiers of the church militant will then tend to forget they are at war. Their ardor slackens and their zeal languishes.”   — William Wilberforce

Here is an excellent article written by Jay Rogers to counter an argument written by “pro-abortion” journalist Lawrence Alba.  Miss Pat reminded me of the great victory won at Patricia Windle’s abortion mill in Brevard County, Florida.  It was the sight of many incredible Gospel battles for the lives of preborn children.  Today, Brevard County is abortion free.  How did that come about?  Jay has some great insight that will be an encouragement to all of us allowing the theology of heaven to become biography at the gates of hell.  ~ Flip
