Here is a wonderful report, submitted by Jay Rogers, of Jesus working through the saints in Orlando. 

Praise the lord!  You guys are an awesome example and a perfect picture (living parable) of what God can do with many or with few.  All we need do is show up.  This is how the gates of hell come crashing down around us.  We win when we are walking in faith with Almighty God.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the leadership meeting.

“For everyone who is born of God over comes the world.  This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.  Who is it that overcomes the world?  Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”  1 John 5:4-5,

   

Three gentle warriors in the Lord in Jackson, Mississippi, were arrested on Wednesday, December 4, 2013, for praying on a public sidewalk in front of Mississippi’s last remaining abortion mill.  Harriet Ashley, Ron Niederhoed, and Esther Mann are our friends and better friends of King Jesus and His precious preborn children.

Thank God for their stand!  Would that all of God’s church would do the same. 

Enjoy Dr. Pat McEwen’s reporting of this sad yet glorious event here.

 

 

 

 

 

Attached is the story of God’s call upon the lives of Michelle and her husband Brandon Stewart, and a picture of their wonderful family.  Michelle posted this little caveat of their first family sortie into the gates of hell in Houston, this past Saturday, November 30, 2013. 

There were four turn-aways that Saturday.  Praise the Lord!

 “We were able to implement two microphones at both entrances and we were much more effective.  We were also able to have signs at both parking lots.  We need Malachi, I believe!  Praising King Jesus for a great day serving Him.  It was such a joy to come as a family and we are only 6 people but wow we can really get stuff done in His name!  The kiddos were challenging the clinic escorts today.  It is both hilarious and sad to watch them get stumped by little kids.

Enjoy! ~ Flip

 

Houston – a modern-day Ninevah?

 

Stewart Family

 

I have been reading in Jonah, Micah, and Nahum this week.  This story is one that I couldn’t put down when I started in Jonah.  I felt so compelled to dig into it and what we know about Ninevah.  Why did Jonah struggle so much about going there?  What was so bad about that wicked place?

 

I have learned that Houston has 15 “gates” aka killing places/abortion clinics.  While studying up on Ninevah, I learned that it, too had exactly 15 gates in the city walls guarded with statues of bulls with human heads.  In Jonah 1:2 I feel the Lord speaking to Jonah in the same way he spoke to me about Houston after the mill in my hometown of College Station, TX, closed down.  FOREVER WE PRAISE YOU LORD FOR TEARING DOWN THAT STRONGHOLD!!!  Please help me to heed this warning, O Lord.  I want to please you.  Hold me accountable to You as well as my earthly authorities designated to me by You as I struggle with that ever present fight with disobedience and comfort of my own town and home.   I do NOT want to be swallowed up by the whale only to be spit out 3 days later.

 

I associate so closely with this story.  As we walk through Jonah we see that he obeyed God the second time He commanded Jonah to go to Ninevah.  We learn it was a 3 day walk to get there.  I should be grateful I have a car and it’s only 2 hours to Houston!  I also love how the Lord was providing for Jonah, even when Jonah wanted to die because he was so mad at God.  He could not understand how he could end up so destructed, but God ended up sparing Ninevah, at least temporarily, because they repented.  However, after he had evangelized as required by the Lord’s command, Jonah was not willing to use the tools the Lord gave him even for simple survival.  The Lord grew up a plant around Jonah to cover him while he was homeless, but the plant withered away, as Jonah did not take care of it.

 

God even purposes to Jonah an interesting debate.  I personally happen to love this part of the story, because it is a good example of how to deal with any lie of the enemy.  Usually you can find something self-refuting in a lie.  The art of apologetics is at work here when Jonah says, “It’s better for me to die than to live.” (Jonah 4:8).  Talk about self pity…. but that is another topic. Back to the Lord’s response in verse 9 “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”  Then in verse 10, Jonah seems to tell God, “Duh… of course it is right!  I’m angry enough to die!”  So the Lord answered in the final paragraph of the book: “You cared about the plant, WHICH YOU DID NOT LABOR OVER AND DID NOT GROW.  It appeared in a night and perished in a night.  Should I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than 120,000 people who cannot distinguish between their right and their left, as well as many animals?”  I imagine Jonah did not like the taste of that particular humble pie he had to eat that day.  This is one concept it seems the Church also has a hard time dealing with.  They focus on praise and worship, and being purpose-driven, but never actually step out onto that plank of obedience in full faithfulness and trust.

 

Micah gives us a great example of what it means to prophesy, (what we now call evangelizing since we have Holy Spirit).  He spoke what the Lord needed to tell the people, in a land before the veil was torn.  Priests talked to God for the people, and prophets talked from God to the people.  We see him speaking of false “grace” prophets who leave out righteous judgment.  Sounds A LOT like America!  Micah does such a good job of living out Ephesians and standing for Truth, while still loving the people as God commanded him.

 

I know he is talking about Israel here, but I also relate closely to Micah 7:1-4 “How sad for me! For I am like one who – when the summer fruit has been gathered after the gleaning of the grape harvest – finds no grape cluster to eat, no early fig, which I crave.” (This particular passage feels like what it is to minister in Houston with the very low #s of known turnaways and rescues.  Of course, Houston has all the tools to get to planting the seeds God gives them.  But there are hardly any people willing to get out and work that field.  They want to skip ahead to the harvest, and blame God for not bringing it to them).

 

It continues on: “Godly people have vanished from the land; there is no one upright among the people. All of them WAIT IN AMBUSH TO SHED BLOOD; they hunt each other with a net.  Both hands are good at accomplishing evil; the official and the judge demand a bribe; when the powerful man communicates his evil desire, they plot it together.  The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is worse than a hedge of thorns.  The day of your watchmen, the day of your punishment, is coming; at this time their panic is here.”  The panic is definately spreading in Houston, as gentle Christians, forced again out onto the ledge of obedience and trust, are answering the call to evangelize this enormous stronghold I call the “competitive market of abortion in Houston.”  There are so many abortion clinics in Houston that they have started the names of the Clinics with A’s.  There is A Affordable Women’s Center, Aaron’s Women’s Clinic, AAA Concerned Women’s Center, and Aalto Womens Center.  That’s 4 clinics competing for the first spot in the yellow pages under: “Abortion provider.”  The other clinics I know about so far are Gulf Coast Planned Parenthood Headquarters, Dickinson PP Health Center, Greenspoint PP Health Center, Northwest PP Health Center, Stafford PP Health Center, Houston Women’s Clinic, Suburban Women’s Clinic (2 locations in Houston proper), Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center, Southwest Health Center, and KNS Medical Center.  Folks, if I wanted to visit 2 clinics per day in Houston, it would take me over a week!  I have spent much time in Houston since we returned from the OSA national event in Rochester.  I have largely been alone in my work, save my direct family.  I was able to get in to three of the clinics without any deathscorts there, because they are not needed everywhere on Saturdays, and are basically not needed at all on Monday-Friday.  Most of the clinics kill EVERY DAY but Sunday.  Where are God’s people?  Maybe this Ninevah needs us to GO THERE!

 

But first let’s revel in God’s awesome-ness!  Michah 7:18 – 20 “Who is a God like You, removing iniquity and passing over rebellion for the REMNANT of His inheritance?”  (Boy sometimes do I ever feel like nothing but a remnant.)  “He does not hold on to His anger forever, because He delights in faithful love.  He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities.  You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.  You will show loyalty to Jacob and faithful love to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from days ago.”  What a BEAUTIFUL way to end a book that is very short, but very powerful.

 

In Rochester the Lord told me in a dream (that was so vivid, I got up and wrote it down immediately in the middle of the night)  He gave me the term “destineered” and said, “Now GO!”  I knew it was the Lord telling me that.  Destineered is not in the dictionary, but you can kind of think of it as being designed/engineered or prepared for a fate or destiny or purpose.  I promise this will make sense, so bear with me.  If I were to have to go to Ninevah today, I’d have to fly to Baghdad, then drive north along the Tigris River, and when I got to the city of Mosul, I’d cross the river via bridge, and then I’d stop.  I wouldn’t find that much when I got there, but I would know that that term “destineered” does not just apply to a Christian person’s purpose.  It also can apply to a group of people’s ultimate fate.  Ninevah’s ultimate fate was complete destruction, because they acted in rebellion against God.  We know the Assyrians who lived there were a horrible and destructive people who took over cities by force – aggressive brutal force we would probably associate with Islam in our day and time.

 

I do not know what fate lies with Houston, or with America, but I do know that Jonah’s prophesy was conditionial.  If they repented, God would save the city, and they would be spared.  Initially, they did repent, and were spared; but ultimately, Ninevah was finally destroyed.  God is slow to anger, but AWESOME IN POWER (Nahum 1:3).  How many bb’s do we need to add to the “Sound of abortion” video before we’ve waited too long to repent?  How many times can this country blaspheme our Creator before we have to taste of that bitter cup of wrath?  I can’t know that, but I’m so glad that when we all get to heaven, all of this earthly battle stuff will just be a moment, and it will be over.  Then, we can sit and rejoice with all of heaven, and the battle will have been WON!  The battle is in fact, already won, because our God is not bound by the constraints of time, like the lowly earth is.  He has always been on top!

 

Oh VICTORY in JESUS

My Savior FOREVER!

He sought me and He bought me

With HIS REDEEMING BLOOD!

He loved me e’er I knew Him

And all my love is due Him

He Plunged me to VICTORY!!!!

Beneath the cleansing flood

 

Love and blessings from Texas!

 

Let’s keep standing!

  The saints in Denver are living out the Gospel of Christ by exposing the deeds of darkness.  “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.  But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible.  This is why it is said:  ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you.’”  Ephesians 5: 11-14. 

 

This powerful ministry of shining the light of Christ and exposing the fruitless deeds of darkness gives us the opportunity to repent of our sins that the light of Christ might shine on us and rescue us from our sin sick selves.  This is precisely what love does.  It confronts us with the truth of what we have become that we might confess (agree with God) and find forgiveness in the only place it can be found – Christ! 

 

Through the ministry of exposing abortionists to their fruitless deeds of darkness many have come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ.  Our prayer is that abortionist Reid Goodman will repent of his foolishness and murder and experience the forgiveness of Christ. 

 

See the graphic pictures of Abortionist Reid Goodman here.  This is Biblical love.

 

We went to Jackson to stand with the saints of Mississippi who want abortion to end in their state.  We went to the “last abortion mill standing” in the state.  We prayed at the “pink horror” while pro-aborts held signs, “this clinic stays open” and “abortion on demand with no apology.”  All this in front of a killing center that was open, but not for business.  As often happens when the theology of heaven becomes biography in the streets – the enemy closes shop.  PTL! 

Shocking ~ the Mocking & Blocking of Truth in Jackson, Mississippi

by Leslie Hanks

With the mill essentially closed, we proclaimed the Gospel of Christ at other gates: five high schools, two college campuses, twenty-five churches, the state capitol, and ended at the courthouse with Chet and Cal!  Literally thousands heard and saw our Lord’s message.  The reception was incredibly welcoming.  The folks in Mississippi really want abortion to end.  What an awesome privilege to deliver God’s mail!

Operation Save America held another States of Refuge event in Jackson to proclaim the infinite value of human beings, made in God’s image, and to press for the closure of Mississippi’s last remaining house of child sacrifice.  If you’ve never been to an OSA outreach, there is no better way to renew and re-dedicate one’s self to the furthering of God’s Kingdom and His purposes.

The evening rallies and daily educational demonstrations were powerfully effective and instructive.  Reverend Flip Benham, Rusty Thomas, Chet Gallagher, Cal Zastrow, Ante Pavkovic and Coach Dave Daubenmire all fired up the troops for our daily missions, with the haunting theme of ‘who will stand in the gap’?  It’s truly amazing to see what God can do with a small band of 70 dedicated Christians to rock a city for truth!  Come, “stand in the gap” with us – it is exhilarating!

The Pepto Pink kill mill is still standing but, Lord willing, not for long.  Diane Derzis and her employees on day one called the police to chase us away because they had a permit for an imaginary rally.  Although there were no attendees, they insisted we depart and, because we had a memorial service at the Capitol to set up, we complied.  Since their rally failed – they joined us for ours

As I drove away I got a snap of an employee decorating a car ~ hmmm?  I should have anticipated their nefarious purpose but it didn’t click until the pro-aborts began circling the Capitol ~ horns blaring to drown out the memorial, in honor of the 60,000 MS babies killed by abortion.  As disruptive as their parade was, nothing prepared us for the StopPatriachy.org anarchy team’s takeover of the steps of the Capitol, led by Sunsara Taylor.  Chanting, “A fetus isn’t a baby”, “Abortion isn’t murder”, and “Women aren’t incubators”, they stormed the event with further shouts of “Abortion on demand, no apology”.  Their attempts at mayhem made the battle we fight so clear.

Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths.The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.  Isaiah 59:7-8

Capitol security was slow to respond but eventually removed them from the Capitol grounds.  Across the street the mocking and four letter words continued, but the memorial to the pre-born children lost in Mississippi was magnificently proclaimed.

The following day, we headed to Pearl High School to educate the students about the horror of abortion.  We learned that the city of Pearl claims to be a First Amendment Free city.  We were asked to leave the campus by school authorities and told to go across the highway, which we did.  Not long after, numerous squad cars arrived and the Police Chief told us of their ordinance requiring a permit to protest anywhere in Pearl.  Former police officer, Chet Gallagher, was extremely diplomatic in his discussions regarding the ordinance which seems to be a clear First Amendment violation.

Our next stop was Millsaps College.  Founded as a Methodist college in the late 1800s, the institution is now clearly bereft of her founding principles.  Our signs were not welcome on the school property, so we set up shop across the street and the fiery preaching of Flip Benham and Ante Pavkovic began in earnest.  Powerful preaching about John Wesley and how he was persecuted for his faith and the faith of the school’s founders really sent several students over the edge.  Female students sadly began acting out lewdly and a young male was clearly agitated.  Truth is hate to those who hate the truth.

A local businessman confronted our demonstration, complaining that we were interfering with his ability to do business.  He held his hand on the horn for minutes at a time, trying to drown out the preaching.  “When deceit becomes universal; truth becomes a revolutionary act.”  George Orwell.

Today’s church is so MIA from the ‘war on the pre-born’ and her message so milquetoast, that a strong word makes people lose it when they hear and see truth.

26 Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy people, and to get dishonest gain.28 Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord had not spoken. 29 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.”  Ezekiel 22:26-30

This is one more of the precious love poems written by an abortion bound mom who was looking to abortion for an answer and, unexpectedly, found the most beautiful answer of all in the arms of Jesus.  She unwraps this most beautiful gift for all of us to see.  Thank you Al and Carmen, Danny and Marilyn, and all the saints who represent our Lord so well at the gates of hell in Connecticut. 

Most especially, thank you Jesus!

Adam Tennant, great friend of this ministry and a better friend of King Jesus and His precious preborn children, has written another very poignant article filled with biblical principle.

Enjoy!

 

 

This report comes from our good friend and fellow warrior for Christ Chet Gallagher.  He and his wife Joann are in the streets of Las Vegas in front of the gates of hell most every day these days.  Here is a report that might put a lump in your throat and a new vision for your mission.

Thank you Jesus!     

HER ABORTION WAS JUST 2 WEEKS AGO…
She was walking out of the baby butchery yesterday after her follow-up appointment. We were outside reading the “Word in Warfare” when JoAnn saw her and reached out. This morning her e-mail arrived. I wanted to share a portion of it to bless you as it has blessed us.

SUBJECT: Hello there loving angel that has lightened my way through the dark!!

Dear Joann,

Hello there, I just want to thank you for shining the light on me and praying for me it touched my heart in so many ways. I never thought there would be any hope in over coming my depression with my abortion and my depression from my family and past but then you walked into my life… I want to thank you for the flier you gave me to get though my abortion and also thank you for the hug I really needed it. I really am glad you stopped me I don’t know where I would be now if you didn’t…I never felt like there was anyone who understood me and there you were, you came to my rescue as a stranger…you gave me that hope that tiny bit of hope that I just might be able to over come my depression I have been fighting for 9 years. I just wanted to thank you so much your an amazing women!! thank you so much.

Encouraged by this? Join us three mornings each week at the most notorious baby butchery in Las Vegas. Thurs, Fri and Sat at 7:30 AM. 872 East Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV. We rescue babies, yes, but minster the Gospel of true repentance for God’s glory and their good.
1 Peter 2:9 “…that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

 

Marilyn, Carmen, and all the saints in Connecticut who have been faithfully living their faith out in the streets of Connecticut these past twenty-five years have some absolutely incredible stories of what God does when we simply show up at the gates of hell.  The abortion battle is being won in the streets every day.  Only those who are there and see the victories know it!

 

Enjoy!   

 Here is a 2 minute trailer of a new movie that is coming out glorifying abortion, abortionists, those having abortions, and those who work in the industry, as the true heroes of our time.  It is sick.  It is a 180 degree distortion of the truth.  It makes selfishness an act of heroism.  But this is where America finds herself in these days when what is good is called evil and what is evil is called good.  Where one puts darkness for light and light for darkness.  God help us!

This really is a movie about “heroic selfishness.”  Where selfish choices are the ones that make people heroes.  Like the mom who makes the choice to kill her child so that she canget on with her life is considered a hero, where the mother who chooses to lay her own life down that her little baby boy or girl might live is considered a right wing, Bible thumping, fanatic.  Like abortionists that make a lot of money off of mothers in crisis pregnancy situations by killing their child are considered heroes, where doctors that offer to bring that same baby to term free of charge are considered judgmental bigots.

Abortion is simply the supreme act of selfishness.  “It’s my body, my rights, my choice.  I do what I want whenever I want.  I am the captain of my ship, the master of my fate.  My one commandment is, “Don’t judge me.’”   It all about me.

The Bible turns this completely around:  “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay his life down for his friends”  John 15:13.   This is true heroism.
