This is a classic example of being very effective representing King Jesus in the streets of one’s city and storming the gates of hell (local abortion mills) giving abortion minded moms a real choice. So many babies have been saved as a result of the work of these two very courageous moms. Here is the devil’s back-handed attempt to intimidate them off of “his” streets. It will never happen!
By the way, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof…” Psalm 24:1. The streets of our cities belong to God – not the devil! Though he may counterclaim them in all of his malevolent usurpations – the devil’s tiny little gates cannot prevail against the mighty Church of Jesus Christ. Marilyn Carroll and Michelle Wolven brilliantly represent this truth as they allow the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets of their cities.
You see, I know these two ladies as do most of you. They are not like the politicians of our day. They have found a cause and a Savior for which they are willing to suffer – they do it every day outside the abortion mills. So many mothers in crisis pregnancy situations have given their hearts to Christ and chosen life for their babies. So many clinic workers and security guards have given their hearts to Christ and found other employment. God has used them powerfully as they have sacrificed to give moms a real choice at the abortion mill door.
Yep! You can expect the devil to hate every word they speak and the God they so lovingly serve.
Enjoy this report from the very pit of hell from a group called “Voice for Choice.” ~ Flip
God has graciously provided a meeting place for us in Jackson, Mississippi, for our upcoming “States of Refuge” campaign this January 20-22, 2013. He closes one door and opens another as we continue in our passion and calling to storm the gates of hell in Jesus magnificent Name and present to Almighty God the first abortion free state in America. It is a possibility.
Though it may seem inconceivable to us right now, it is inevitable that abortion is going to come to an end in our nation. But it is going to be God’s way, not ours! His ways are higher than ours.
This is why we are gathering in Jackson, Mississippi, rather than Washington, D.C., on this 40th Memorial of Roe v. Wade. In case you haven’t noticed, Washington, D.C., has no answers to what is ailing the heart and soul of America. Our God, the only true God, the only God there is – Jesus, is preparing the way for us to storm the gates of hell where they will not and cannot prevail.
Please make sure, if you are flying into Jackson, that your flight out leaves no earlier than 2:00 PM, Tuesday, January 22. Our 40th Memorial Roe v. Wade service that day will begin at 11:00 AM and conclude at 12:30 PM. That will give us with more than enough time to get you to the airport.
For all of our leaders from various groups across the country, we are expecting you in not later than 4:00 PM, Saturday January 19, 2013. We have much to discuss and a short time to do it.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Jackson, Mississippi, this January 19-22, 2013, for the 40th Memorial of Roe v. Wade. Our God has a strategy – it is called TRUTH! He will bring us to victory when we do it His way.
In Christian love,
Flip

This report from Rusty should encourage all of our hearts that our God is on the move. His unseen hand is being seen by those who have eyes to see. His unheard message is being heard by those who have ears to hear. And soon, very soon, it will be heralded from the rooftops, that the gates of hell cannot prevail against God’s prevailing church. ~ Flip
Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,
“After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go” (Luke 10:1).
Evidence is mounting the States of Refuge campaign has been the recipient of a vision ordained by the Lord. Luke’s Gospel narrates how the Lord sent out his disciples to places where He Himself would eventually visit. States of Refuge was birthed with the knowledge that there were five states with one surgical death camp remaining still defiling our land. Those states are Arkansas, Mississippi, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming.
As of this writing, Mississippi stands on the verge of becoming the first abortion free state in America. This is why the States of Refuge campaign chose Jackson, MS for our 40th year anniversary memorial for Roe vs. Wade. According to the following article, South Dakota appears to be next on the list to become an abortion free state. During our leadership meeting in Jackson, we will lay out our plans to visit South Dakota, perhaps in the Spring to help nudge the last remaining death camp in South Dakota into oblivion. Our prayer is the Lord will continue to draw us and we will faithfully run after him to fulfill His will to liberate America from bloodguiltiness one state at a time in Jesus’ name!
Merry Christmas and have a blessed New Year in God’s Kingdom.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Planned Parenthood filed notice Friday that it is dropping its appeal of a legal provision that requires women seeking abortions in South Dakota to wait three days.
A law passed in 2011 required women in South Dakota to wait 72 hours before they are allowed to end a pregnancy – the longest waiting period in the country – but the provision had been temporarily blocked until the lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood made its way through court.
Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota said Friday that it was dropping the appeal of the 72-hour wait but will continue to fight another provision that requires women to undergo counseling at pregnancy help centers, which discourage abortions, before they can terminate a pregnancy. The group filed a motion to dismiss that part of the lawsuit without prejudice, meaning they may decide to challenge it in the future.
A judge must still sign off on the dismissal.
“This was not an easy decision for us to make by any means. We believe that this law is wrong and that it is disrespectful to women and it is completely unnecessary and for a host of reasons is ill-conceived,” said Sarah Stoesz, the president of Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota.
Stoesz said Planned Parenthood, which operates South Dakota’s only abortion clinic in Sioux Falls, did not feel confident that the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals would have sided with them on the provision, saying the court has “ruled against women’s interests time after time.”
Instead, she said the group will continue to focus on fighting the counseling provision.
“This is something that is just shocking in its lack of ethical basis and we will be fighting very, very hard to make sure that piece of the law is never enacted while regretfully enacting the 72-hour portion of the law,” she said.
A spokeswoman for the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office said the motion is being reviewed and couldn’t comment further. A lawyer for the Alpha Center, a Sioux Falls pregnancy help center involved in the case, said he could not comment.
In June, U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier ruled that a third provision of the law could go into effect starting July 1. That provision requires doctors who perform abortions to first assess women to determine if they have been coerced into getting abortions or are at risk of suffering psychological problems if they undergo the procedure.
Over 90% of children in America, discovered with Down Syndrome in their mother’s womb’s, are aborted. I’ve known this for quite awhile, yet my heart somehow grows hard to this treachery. I’m glad God’s heart is not like mine.
This short little video helped me to repent once again. ~ Flip
Press Release
For Immediate Release
From: Operation Save America – Rev. Flip Benham
December 17, 2012
CHARLOTTE, Dec. 17, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ — Watching the Memorial service for the twenty-six precious lives taken from us in Newtown, Connecticut was painful. But it was far more painful to God. The city of Newtown took down all of its Christmas decorations so it could properly mourn. How foolish, yet typical of governmental strategy to replace God. The “Interfaith” service on Sunday evening was an affront to true Christianity. Those claiming to be His priests (they were no more Christian than they were poached eggs) barely mentioned Jesus’ Name. How could they – they don’t know Him. Yet these were Newtown’s pastors.
“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.” Hosea 4:6.
Can there be any doubt in anyone’s mind today that America is in deep trouble? God said it would be this way. We are losing our kids. Blood is coursing down the corridors of our schools, workplaces, and streets and we look at each other with awkward amazement wondering what has happened to us. We are being drained of our wealth. We are losing our kids to gangs, drugs, violence, suicide, murder and every imaginable trivial pursuit. Our schools have become veritable jungles where survival of the fittest is the law of the hallway.
What happened? We have violently removed the fear of Almighty God from the hearts of our children. We expelled God from school and banished Him from the schoolyard. He has been replaced with metal detectors, condoms, policemen, anti-bullying policies, No-gun zones, and violence. “Political strategy” has replaced God’s Truth. We are losing our kids because we are ignoring God’s Law. Our government cannot fix us!
What would Jesus say if He had spoken at this interfaith abomination in Newtown, Connecticut? What did He say when He was confronted with mass murder and natural disaster in His day (Luke 13:1-9)? He answered the questions, “Why did this happen?” and “Where was God in all of this?” with a simple phrase, “…I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will perish…” Luke 13:3. His was neither a message of false comfort nor a call to new “political strategy,” but a call to repentance. We are being destroyed, we are losing our freedom, and our children because we have forsaken God – Jesus! He will return if we will repent and call on His Name!

…the same thing that He would say to the students at Virginia Tech. The only problem is, Jesus wasn’t allowed at Virginia Tech nor was He allowed at the “Inter-faith” service in Newtown, CT. These “Inter-faith services” must come to an end, they are an abomination to Almighty God.
In 2007 this booklet was written after the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. The message from God is the same today for our nation and Newtown, CT as it was to Virginia Tech in 2007, and Columbine in 1999.
Our good friend Mike Warren from Rescue Rochester just put this out. Excellent.

Horror Once Again!
Unspeakable tragedy and heartache has played out before the American people with seemingly increased occurrence and exponentially greater horror. We are shocked and troubled as we look for answers to the innocent being savaged in our malls, movie theaters and schools. Now twenty kindergarteners and first graders brutally executed with their loving teachers in suburban Connecticut. Families torn with unspeakable agony, may God help us!
Guns are not the problem; rather the root problem is a society that has sought to divorce itself from the influence and loving arms of a beneficent gracious God, Jesus Christ. We are now seeing a small taste of the depth of depravity that the human heart can sink and embrace.
The United States has been on a national mission since 1962 to remove the influence of our Godly Christian heritage from the public square. Public readings of the scriptures, prayers imploring God’s blessings, the posting of The Ten Commandments, and the displays and programs honoring traditional Christian observances have been banned. Our entertainment media have even embraced the mission to mock all things traditional and holy. We have sown to the wind and are now reaping a whirlwind of sorrow, confusion and horror. It touches very institutions of our land. Guns are not our problem; rather the sin ravaged human heart unbridled from the restraining power of God’s Holy Word.
Luke 13:33-35 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
We pray for comfort, healing and restoration of the lives broken by this most recent example of life in a Christ-less America. We grieve over these lives stolen by evil. And we beg God to grant us repentance and healing from our proud and arrogant ways. Lord Jesus, help us!

Rescue Rochester Editorial Submitted to Rochester Local Papers 12/15/2012
Just received this report from Dale Sochia. Another abortion mill in New Orleans has shut down bringing the number of abortion mills remaining in the city to one. When we first arrived New Orleans for our National Event in the Spring of 1995, there were seven free standing abortion mills in and around the city. Today there is only one. The saints in New Orleans did not wait for the election of a new President, nor the stacking of the Supreme Court, nor the House or Senate in Washington, D.C. They simply began storming the gates of hell by allowing the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets and God began winning battles for them.
Brother Bill Shanks, the real “Mayor” of New Orleans, and his powerful little church have been fighting the Gospel battle for the lives of preborn children in the streets of New Orleans since 1988. They have been faithfully pleading the case of the fatherless to win it! God raised up Brother Dale Sochia and King Jesus Ministries to come alongside and help Brother Bill in the battle and now, “LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!”
Enjoy! ~ Flip
God on the Move in New Orleans
Dale Sochia, December 7, 2012
Well, God is on the move again (like He never is…). God is always doing above and way beyond anything we could ever imagine! I received a phone call last week Pastor Bill Shanks who shared with me the most incredible news! He said, “Dale, the manager from the Uptown (abortion mill) just came outside and approached me and told me, ‘Better get your red marker out.’”
If you’re not sure what she was talking about – neither was I. But Brother Bill has a sign that lists the names of four “doctors” who have been doing abortions at the Uptown abortion mill that opened shortly after hurricane Katrina. Since that time two of these doctors have quit killing babies and last year, abortionist Adrian Coleman died suddenly at the age of 37. Pastor Bill has put a red line through the names of the three abortionists that are no longer killing babies.
Today (as the manager proceeded to tell Br. Bill), the last remaining Abortionist, Dr. Kiat Varnishung, also has died. That’s right, he DIED! The last two remaining abortionists have passed-on to judgment. (I do hope that this doctor’s heart turned toward God and he repented of killing all of those babies, as well as his other sins, before he died). OK … and now for the incredible news: the manager then went on to tell Pastor Bill that THEY WILL BE CLOSING DOWN THE CLINIC!! Praise God! This is incredible!
This is no ordinary clinic – this clinic is the one located at 3500 St. Charles Avenue and used to be a CHURCH! That’s right, a Church. I posted a few years back a prophetic word that God would turn this house of horror back into a house of holiness! Now, God has done His part by removing the last remaining abortionist (in not so nice of a way). God is not nice, HE IS HOLY and RIGHTEOUS, and HIS JUSTICE is JUST!
In 1995, New Orleans had seven abortion mills in the surrounding area. Today, with the closing of this mill, only one mill remains!!! We are shouting GLORY all the way! It is important to note that this was not done by any legislating, but by the faithful saints of God on their knees in prayer … not just in the churches and homes, but out in the streets in front of these places of death!
Thank you Brother Bill, Brother Dale, the faithful saints, and, especially, THANK YOU JESUS for doing something way beyond what our mind can conceive (closing this mill down)!
I am in the process of putting together a meeting with some folks (along with some money backers) who are looking into purchasing the building and doing just what was prophesied… making it into a house of holiness again! Please pray for this undertaking. Just imagine for a second what that first Church service there would be like.
