Here is our Press release for our Press Conference to be held out at the front gate of “Jumah at the DNC.”  Here, at Marshall Park in Charlotte, on Friday, August 31, 2012, over ten thousand Muslims are to gather together for their Friday Jumah prayer as an official function (kick-off) of the Democratic National Convention.  This is incredible considering husbands can beat their wives, Kill them (honor killings), and have up to four wives according to the Q’uran and Hadith.  I wonder how the NOW gals and Planned Parenthood feel about this.  Amazing!

 But Islam has now become the religion of “choice” for the DNC.

 Enjoy!   

Press Release

30 August, 2012

For Immediate Release:

What Do Abortion, Homosexuality, and Islam Have In Common – the DNC!

Charlotte, NC:   The Democratic National Convention (DNC) says that the Church of Jesus Christ in Charlotte “does not reflect its values.”   When Charlotte714, a non political group of Pastors and Christian leaders in Charlotte who are praying for God to restore our nation, requested permission to pass out gifts and Christian literature to arriving DNC delegates, they were refused.  The reason: “…the values of Charlotte714 do not reflect the values of the DNC.”

 Just what are the values of the DNC?  On Friday, August 31 – September 2, 2012, we will see.  The DNC will be opened in Jumah Prayer by Siraj Wahhaj as grand Imam and unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993WorldTradeCenterbombings.  Wahhaj served as a character witness for Omar Abdel Rahman (the blind sheikh) in the trial that found him guilty of conspiring to overthrow theUnited Statesgovernment.  So Islam is now the religion of choice for the DNC?

 Of course, abortion on demand for any reason, at any time, at taxpayer expense, is an absolute in the DNC.  No room for deviance here.  Now the DNC is going to redefine marriage.  What does the God of the Bible know, anyway!  After years of lying to us, The DNC has decided to show its true colors.  It is indeed, the party of death!  “…All who hate me love death.  Pr 8:36.

 The DNC is tolerant of all religions except one – Christianity!  Why?  The DNC hates the God of the Bible.  It hates the God of our Pilgrim Forefathers and Founding Fathers.  It hates the God (Jesus) who madeAmericagreat and made her strong.  It simply hates any “god” but itself.

 Hatred toward the God of the Bible (Jesus) is the great unifier of abortion, homosexuality, and Islam.  Hatred toward God and the nation He made great –America, is the platform of the DNC.  Politics does, indeed, make for strange bedfellows.

 What does abortion have to do with homosexuality?  And what do either have in common with Islam, which calls for the death of those who practice abortion or homosexuality?  Nothing but the DNC and the devil.  This unholy alliance is kept together only with the glue of hate!

What:           Press Conference – Jumah Prayer at the DNC!         

Where:        3rd St side of Marshall Park in Charlotte, NC

When:           11:30 AM, Friday, August 31, 2012

Here is a great article, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, by Rusty Thomas about what is going on in heaven while we continue to thumb our nose at our Creator and His precious preborn children. ~ Flip

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

“Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, ‘Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.’ He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.” (Psalms 2:1-4).

Final Day of the Walk Across America Prophetic Tour in Washington DC

Final Day of the Walk Across America Prophetic Tour in Washington DC

Yesterday, August 28, 2012, commemorated the 8th anniversary of our completion of the Walk Across America Prophetic Tour. Ten missionaries walked a “living parable” from San Clemente, CA to Washington DC. It took over six months to complete this Kingdom task. The “living parable” consisted of a young man, Johnny Benham, who carried broken tablets of the Ten Commandments. He was followed by my daughter, Shekinah Thomas, who carried a baby casket, which represented the preborn children murdered by abortion, the evidence of America’s sin. Shekinah was followed by Rev. Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America, who walked a white horse adorned with a banner called JUDGMENT. After him, I took up the rear guard by walking a white donkey adorned with a banner called MERCY.

Each day we cried out against the sins of our nation, abortion and parading our sin like Sodom. Each day we called our nation to repent and come back to the Lord and the Biblical principles that served us so well in our nation’s history. We passed out tens of thousands of tracts and did manifold media interviews all along the way.

After delivering God’s mail in Washington DC at the White House, the next day, August 29, 2004, the majority of the missionaries returned home to joyfully reunite with their families. Rev. Flip Benham, however, went to New Orleans to be with Pastor Bill Shanks. Pastor Bill invited Rev. Flip to join him to minister the Gospel of the Kingdom at a sodomite lustfest called Southern Decadence. While there, Pastor Bill Shanks warned New Orleans that if this wicked city did not stop murdering God’s babies and flaunting the abomination of homosexuality, God would send a hurricane and flood New Orleans. On August 29, 2005, one year to the day, Katrina, which means cleansing, devastated New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

Fast forward to this date and what do we discover? Another hurricane is making a similar path towards New Orleans, except this time, the storm’s timing is in conjunction with the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL. Is there a connection? The rest of this article will explore the possibilities.

First, the name of this imminent hurricane is called Isaac. Biblically, the name Isaac means laughter. As you may recall, when God reaffirmed the promised child to Abraham and Sarah after they were past the time of child-bearing, Sarah laughed. The Lord confronted her with her amused unbelief and in His humorous way called Abraham to name his promised son, Isaac (laughter).

In our opening verse in Psalms two, God’s word addresses nations that rebel against His loving and just rule. As the nations ignore and rage against His commandments, the Lord’s response from heaven is to laugh at them. It is just a coincidence that the very meaning of the hurricane disrupting the Republican National Convention means laughter? If not, perhaps a message I preached a few years ago may apply, “When God laughs in heaven, it is not funny on earth.”

This convention has been marked by storms from without and derision from within. Romney is attempting to change the procedural rules of the convention to disenfranchise the conservative delegates. It has created a faction that has blown the unity that centered on defeating Obama come November.

As Isaac rains on their parade another storm hit on the way to the convention. It came in the form of a gaff from Congressman Todd Akin. His attempt to address abortion in the case of rape went awry. It served, however, to reveal that once again the Republican Establishment will choose to ignore the American holocaust and the culture of death it has spawned in favor of the economy. They seem to believe that one can continue to slaughter God’s babies made in His image and still thrive as a people. Their mantra of JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, cannot wipe out the cries of the “little ones” and their innocent blood that demands, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth” (Revelations 6:10)?

Try as they might, politics as usual, whether it comes from Republicans or Democrats, the official party of death, right or left on the political spectrum, cannot save our nation that is drowning in a sea of blood and perversion. There is a spiritual and moral connection to the litany of woe striking our nation. Both political parties ignore it to our national peril. Moreover, any politician that ignores abortion is not fit to serve as a magistrate and betrays the sacred trust of civil government, which is to protect life and stop the shedding of innocent blood. Perhaps Isaac, God’s laughter, is His way of reminding America of this truth in Jesus’ name!

A mama chose LIFE at the LaTrobe abortion mill on Friday August 24th, after coming directly from an ultrasound at the crisis pregnancy center. She left the pregnancy center planning to drive to the abortion mill to murder her unborn child. As she drove into the parking lot of this business of death, she saw this photo of Malachi and told a sidewalk counselor that she changed her mind solely because of that image!

Ephesians 5:11 was lived out  by exposing the TRUTH behind the lies of Satan. Because of this controversial and graphic depiction of murder, a baby was spared from death in Charlotte!

Below are some images of “Malachi in action” at the LaTrobe clinic.   Though he is dead, he still speaks!   

This article (via LifeNews.com) was forwarded to us by Michelle Sochia. She and her husband Dale have been such a blessing to those faced with the horrible choice of abortion. Many have chosen “life” as a result of their ministry in New Orleans. Several have come to know the liberty found only in Christ, that sets the captive free.

This article came out last week and I haven’t stopped thinking about it … maybe you can forward to your friends to raise awareness to those who don’t realize what is happening in our country. I agree with this writer …. what about co-workers, friends, families … is everyone’s heart so hardened that they say nothing?? This woman clearly had other options and help available to her, but chose to kill her twin daughters anyway. A picture is worth a thousand words … after seeing her picture I was literally nauseated and still am. How can the clinic workers even sleep at night? I am a nurse and leave work affected by my patients and what they are going through that day … you can’t help but be moved by people and I often pray with them and go home and pray for them. How can someone’s heart be so hard that she is not moved by the murder of innocent babies? How can we live in a country that “okays” the murder of preborn babies and actually make it legal? Jesus, help our nation! Open the eyes of those that are so blinded and deceived! Please forgive us! The blood of all the murdered babies cries out! We cry out Lord in repentance of our nation! Please forgive us! May America and the world fall to their knees in repentance and make You the Lord of their lives!

Here is a front page story in the “Local and State” section of the Charlotte Observer from Wednesday, August 22, 2012.  Thank God that no matter how good or how bad a story is, it keeps the cause of Christ and His precious preborn children on the front burner in the minds of the citizens in Charlotte.  Through your presence here during our National Event in July, and your prayers since that time, the airwaves in Charlotte and local media outlets have been filled with the exploits of God’s Church storming the gates of hell.  This is just one more story.

Please note that in the story you will find that our attorney’s fought hard to prevent a “wanted” poster, covered with swastikas, a George Tiller Picture on it, and the number 30,000,000 in the middle, from being entered into evidence.  It was a poster that none of us had ever seen before and never would have used.  We did not know if it was ever used in Wichita.  We did not know if any pro-life group or pro-choice group drew it up.  We knew absolutely nothing about it.  Yet Judge Turner allowed it in as evidence anyway.  Why?

Why would a judge allow something like this into evidence?  Because he knew very well that the poster we did distribute, “Wanted by Christ to Stop Killing Babies!” would never be construed as a “threat” to anyone.  The prosecution knew this too.  Unbelievably, the three Appeals Court Judges wrote, “The ‘wanted poster’ (Tiller’s) was relevant and its probative value outweighed any prejudicial effect.”  Sure its probative.  It prejudices everything else.

Of course it’s “probative value” (probative means to prove) was going to get them a conviction.  It totally prejudiced the jury against us.  Without this shocking “wanted” poster, the state’s case would have been shown for what it really was.  Another failed attempt to remove the Gospel of Christ from the highways and byways of our city.          

Here’s the story via the Charlotte Observer:

Anti-abortion minister to get new trial on charges he stalked doctor

On appeal, conviction of anti-abortion leader in 2011 negated on technicality

By Gary L. Wright

Posted: Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012

 

The Rev. Phillip “Flip” Benham, an anti-abortion activist convicted in 2011 of stalking a Charlotte doctor, has been granted a new trial.

The N.C. Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered the new trial after ruling that the judge in Benham’s trial made a mistake in instructing jurors before they began deliberations.

Benham, director of the Concord-based Operation Save America, was convicted in July 2011 of stalking a Charlotte doctor by distributing “posters with abortion doctors’ names and photos. He was accused of passing out hundreds of posters that said: “Wanted…by Christ, to Stop Killing Babies.”

He was placed on probation for 18 months and ordered to stay clear of Dr. ______’s home neighborhood and remain 500 feet from the three clinics where the doctor works.

Superior Court Judge Joseph Turner had instructed jurors that to find Benham guilty of stalking, the prosecution had to prove that the anti-abortion activist placed Dr.  ______  in fear for his safety and the safety of his family.

Benham, in appealing his conviction, argued that the warrant charging him with stalking made no mention of ______’s family. The warrant only alleged that Benham had placed ______ in fear.

“The jury was instructed to find defendant guilty on a theory not included in the warrant,” the appeals court judges wrote in ordering the new trial. “The defendant was unable to prepare for trial on the theory that Dr. ______ was placed in fear for his family.”

But Benham said he’s not happy with the appeals court’s ruling. It has given him a new trial, he said, but has taken away his freedom of speech.

“What I do isn’t stalking,” Benham told the Observer Tuesday. “I’m exercising my First Amendment rights as a Christian to expose what is evil. This stalking law is devastatingly dangerous to free speech.

“They’ve gutted the First Amendment. We go all around the country and do this. We go to the abortionists’ homes, their practices and the abortion mills … . They want to censure the Gospel’s message. They want to get us off the streets. They want to silence our message.”

Benham, in appealing his stalking conviction, had also accused the judge of making a mistake when he allowed the prosecution to introduce evidence about a case that involved a “wanted” poster for a doctor who performed abortions in Wichita, Kan. That doctor, George Tiller, was shot to death in his church by an anti-abortion activist in 2009.

Benham argued that the evidence about Tiller was irrelevant and unduly inflammatory.

The appeals court judges disagreed. The “wanted” poster was relevant, they ruled, and its probative value outweighed any prejudicial effect.

Several doctors have been killed after similar fliers were distributed in other cities. In 1993, Dr. George Patterson was killed in Mobile, Ala., and Dr. David Gunn was killed in Pensacola, Fla. His replacement, Dr. John Britton, was gunned down a year later.

“Dr. ______ was concerned because other doctors had been murdered after similar WANTED posters were distributed prior to their deaths,” the appeals court ruling said. “The State’s purpose for introducing the Tiller poster was to show that Dr. ______’s fear regarding the WANTED poster bearing his photograph, name and information was reasonable.

“______ was a doctor who performed abortions … It was relevant for the jury to learn that the wanted posters in the past resulted in violence.”

Our wonderful friends Rob and Ruthie Barnaby are “given ‘em heaven” in Jacksonville, Florida, as the theology of the church house is becoming biography in the streets of this city through a great little Youth Group of inner city kids.  Be encouraged saints.

Aslan is on the move! ~ Flip

 

My wife and I had the pleasure of hosting Jim Davis and Preston Carlyle of Created Equal at our home for three days recently. We raised awareness about the aftermath of abortion at the federal courthouse in Jax. This Tuesday we went to A woman Choice death mill then to University and Beach and brought more awareness.

This clip is footage from Channel 4 that played Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.

God bless,

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.

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
