Doc Johnston has written an amazing article which takes all argument away from the “Life of the mother” exception clause. I was so blessed to read it because, for the first time, I was able to see the heart of God smashing to smithereens this very subtle lie of the devil. Most of us have had great difficulty dealing with this issue simply because we are not physicians and do not have the knowledge that doctors have to know what God would have us do in difficult cases like “the life of the Mother.” Doc takes God’s Word and opens it up for us to see what God Himself would have us do.

Thanks for your labors for Jesus’ precious preborn children Doc. You have glorified our Lord (given the correct estimation of Him) and helped us all to unsheathe the Sword if the Spirit and allow it to do its terrible yet magnificent work!

 

Rusty has sounded the trumpet for us to join together for three days of fasting and prayer July 15-17, 2013.   Remember that in the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17-18) there are two offensive weapons given to us in our spiritual armor.  One is the Word (Rhema) of God, and the other is prayer.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world.  On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.  We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  2 Corinthians 10: 3-5.

 

Operation Save America’s Days of Fasting and Prayer

July 15-17, 2013

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke” (Isaiah 58:6)?

In modern warfare, whenever there has been a major military advance against an enemy, typically, before the boots hit the ground, there are air assaults or naval bombardments unleashed to soften up key targets. As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual. In the battle for the souls of men, the lives of babies, and the future of our nation, Operation Save America is seeking to employ our spiritual weapons of warfare that are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of demonic strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).

This year’s national event is in Rochester, NY. The dates are July 24th-31st, 2013. To help prepare the way of the Lord and to “soften up” the hard ground of child sacrifice and the shedding of innocent blood, we are asking our brother and sisters to join us in a three day period to fast and pray. The dates are Monday, July 15th through Wednesday, July 17th. We are asking all who receive this notice to not only participate in this crucial ministry, but encourage others to participate as well. We need hundreds of saints bombarding the heavens beseeching the Lord to display His mighty arm as we get ready to storm the gates of hell in Rochester, NY.

The Bible teaches, “It is not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord” (Zachariah 4:6). We cannot defeat the forces of darkness with the arm of the flesh. Psalms 33:16, 17 plainly states, “No king is saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.” It is through God that the church can do valiantly for it is He who treads down our enemies (Psalm 60:12). We must have the anointing to destroy the yoke of child sacrifice and set the captives free (Isaiah 10:27).

Rochester is a dark city in an even darker state. They are pro-death in every sense of the word. Tyrannies are multiplied under the reign of Governor Cuomo. We are heading into a land of Goliaths that defy the armies of the living God. They have 6 killing centers and 4 of them are in hospitals. Only 2 are free standing. That means the majority of the murder of the preborn is connected directly to the government’s health care system. In fact, one of the hospitals we will be confronting actually trains future abortionists.

To give you a slight indication of what we might be facing, while I was in Rochester recently working with Mike Warren, our local leader, we went to a park to check out the statue of Fredrick Douglas, American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman. While there, a police man stopped us. What aroused his suspicions? We were wearing Christian T-Shirts with a pro-life message. At least four cop cars came by to check up on the police officer and us. He gathered his information while I challenged him with the connection between Nazi Germany and the American holocaust. I told him, “All the evil in Nazi Germany was legal, but not lawful. Most law officials involved in the holocaust excused their participation in the evil by declaring, ‘I was just doing my job and obeying orders.’ It did not work for them and it will not work with law enforcement here in America.”

Miraculously, he did let me pray for him after our pointed conversation. Obviously, we are no longer under the radar. The “powers that be” know we are coming. It is time to man the battle stations and put on the whole armor of God. Yes, the battle is the Lord’s, but he commands us to go out against them (2 Chronicles 20:15, 16). Our desire is to lift up the banner of praise and worship declaring, “The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever” in Rochester, NY. And as we do, let us trust the Lord to plunder the powers of darkness in Rochester, NY and plant Kingdom seeds that will grow to end child killing in that city in Jesus’ mighty name!

 

For those of you who do not know, Momma Zotti – Marilyn Carroll’s mom, just graduated from the Church Militant here on earth to the Church Triumphant in heaven in the early morning hours of June 1, 2013.  She was a great warrior for King Jesus and His precious preborn children.  Attached are some wonderful memories of her life by her son Mark and her grandson Anthony (with obituary).

I will simply say that whenever any of us were around Momma Zotti, she made us feel like we were the most important people in all the world.  Her life always pointed to Jesus.  She was gifted by God to do just that.  She was an encourager for all of us to run hard the race marked out before us.  She is now safe at home forever and a jubilant part of that Great Cloud of Witnesses.

Thank you Momma Zotti for a life well lived for Christ.

Good night for now – we will see you in the morning!

Love,

Chet is garnering some more press for the Christians living out their faith at the gates of hell in Jackson, Mississippi.  Pray that Mississippi will soon become the first abortion free state in America. ~ Flip

Here is a news story written by Heather Clark for Christian News Report concerning our brother Chet Gallagher and his arrest at the last remaining abortion mill in the state of Mississippi last Thursday.  At the end of the report you will see a 42 second video of the arrest.

God richly bless retired Las Vegas police officer Chet Gallagher.  ~ Flip

 

Our brother Chet Gallagher gives us all a great exhortation in this letter written the day before he was falsely arrested for preaching the Gospel of Christ on the corner of a public sidewalk outside the last remaining abortion mill in the state of Mississippi.  After Chet was released he went right back to the spot where he was arrested and preached again.  Reminiscent of Acts 5:25-29.  ~ Flip

 

Friends,

The plea for “the church to be the church,” be it in Mississippi or elsewhere, has been our consistent and passionate cry to heaven.  Yet still, she turns a deaf ear to the cry of the helpless and the innocent being led away to slaughter and willfully determines to sing a little louder.  In these critical days of the 40th year she seems to be singing even louder still. 

Here in Jackson recently, after a seemingly positive response to my “transition-from-law-enforcement-to-ministry” testimony at the annual Prolife Mississippi Banquet last week, attended by 400 or so, pastor Doug Lane invited all to the streets to Jericho march with us.  Sadly in the end, our numbers increased by only a handful the next morning.  But the marching orders were the same every day until our 7th day of victory tomorrow, April 16, in the year of our Lord 2013.

The deafening silence of the church is one thing but when the wicked are justified then the just, by default, must be condemned.  It brings a “double abomination” according to Prov 17:15: “He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.”  

We are fast tracking to the full judgment of our God, which I believe can be seen in this recent act of federal judicial tyranny.  However, friends, consider the judgment of God. God’s judgment is manifested in many ways.

Could it be that, a passage from Job 9:24 is evidence that the church of Jesus Christ continues to be judged for her idolatry, apathy, for justifying the wicked and for giving consent to the condemnation of the just?

“Silence”…after all is unsaid and not done..,”gives consent!” 

In this context then, consider Job 9:24 (NIV) “When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?”  Could it be that under this curse and judgment of God, even righteous judges are blinded by Him and rendered incapable of ruling righteously so that evil may reach its full fruition and warrant the wrath of a just God?

We are still here in Jackson, MS, crying aloud for the church to end the killing, but frankly our tireless pleas are met only with blank, dazed stares or heads shaking with denial and disbelief.  If the church of Jesus Christ remains silent much longer her vocal chords will atrophy and she won’t have a voice to raise, even if she tries to speak out.  It will be too late for her as it has been too late for the least of His.

There is hope…Rusty made a promise last week to the prolife Mississippi folks right after completing the third day of a seven day Jericho march.  “We will not only continue to support and encourage you but count on us to be your ‘Minute Men.”  How that translates into action, we pray the Holy Spirit will direct.  BUT if He is speaking to you to be ready, please obey and get ready should such a “Macedonian Minute Man” call go out to you.

ABC’s Nightline News producers are in town and have been for days and will be until week’s end.  One of them asked me today how I felt about the (proaborts) celebration this morning over yesterday’s victory in court.  I told him that every day they are here they celebrate the murder of those they slaughter.  Today is only slightly different in that Judge Daniels, a professing Christian, has justified the wicked.

By further delaying the closure of the last murder mill in Mississippi, this “Christian” magistrate has condemned more and more innocent children to their gruesome death.  He could have stopped the flow of their innocent blood into the city streets and thus a further curse would have been abated.

Friend, the bloodlust here is real.  The reality, too, of Hosea 4:2 continues to be manifest “…bloodshed touches bloodshed.”  Was it a mere coincidence that blood was shed in Boston’s streets yesterday at about the same time this federal tyrant’s order justifying the wicked took place?  The world would never make such a connection because the church refuses to “connect the dots” and preach the whole counsel of God’s Word.

Cal, Corrie and David Zastrow, myself and many local Mississippi friends will be completing the “Jericho March” tomorrow marching 7 times around this well protected place of child sacrifice to demons.  Though you can’t be here tomorrow at 7:30 AM to stand with these gentle Jackson believers, as other OSA friends like Rusty last week (and today Leslie Hanks who comes from Denver), will you pray with us that a miracle will happen?

Maybe such a small and seemingly hopeless act of living out our faith walk through a seven day Jericho March could be used of God, quite creatively, for His divine purpose.  Those who are able to “Just Show Up!” may witness a great miracle if we expect one and join together in expectant intercession!

Remember, there is only One Judge Who is never blinded in His Justice.  His Name is Jesus, and His judgments are always true and frequently…swift.

For our only God and King, King Jesus!

Memorial Celebration for David Lackey  (pdf file)

Celebrating a life well-lived for King JESUS!

All of these people were living by faith when they died.  They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance.  And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.  People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own … they were longing for a better country – a heavenly one.  Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.”  Hebrews 11: 13-16.

Chet just sent this to me again.  It was his first attempt at doing this.  It is short, well done, and it made me cry.  ~ Flip

From Flip:
Our dear brother David Lackey, died at approximately 1:40 PM (CST) this Holy Saturday, March 30, 2013. He was at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Dave died in his sleep, he had a fever but no pain. Thank God.
We are rejoicing in the Lord that there is a Resurrection!  Please pray for Dave’s wife Denise, his son Brad, and his two daughters Tara and Amanda. Thank you Jesus that the grave does not have the last word!
His wishes were to be cremated, so they will be able to wait a few days before the memorial service. This will give people from other states time to make plans to come.  As soon as we know the details we will let you know. Please send me pictures for a memorial DVD that Colbi is producing. Also please send any comments or short stories (Colten will put something together to read at the service). Thank you!  
Earlier today Rusty was with Dave and had great prayer time with him. Rusty felt like Dave could hear him. He could tell Dave had trouble breathing. The doctors were managing his pain. Rusty shared with Dave how Flip, Dayle Sochia and Bill Shanks got to witness to a post-abortive mom in New Orleans this morning and they prayed with her to give her heart to Christ. They knew Dave would be happy to hear that and it would lift him up.    
Rusty read the OSA reading for today to Dave (John 18-19). He stopped at certain places and everyone that was listening was in tears. Today was preparation day.
Rusty even got to witness to a Jewish couple there. The man had prostate cancer and Dave had ministered to him earlier last week. Rusty prayed with them and suddenly the light went on. His wife was a little concerned and said “but we’re Jewish”. Rusty said “So was Jesus.”  PTL! What a memorable day this was!
David and Rusty

David and Rusty

We see the hope of the Resurrection in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 “And now, brothers and sisters, I want you to know what will happen to the Christians who have died so you will not be full of sorrow like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus comes, God will bring back with Jesus all the Christians who have died. I can tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not rise to meet him ahead of those who are in their graves. For the Lord himself will come down from Heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with Him forever. So comfort and encourage each other with these words.”
