“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)?

Jesus speaking of demonic strongholds, “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21).

Prayer Alert:

Starting tomorrow, OSA is calling all prayer warriors and intercessors to say no to their bellies and yes to God for three days of intense prayer and fasting. From Monday, July, 17th, -Wednesday, July 19th, we are needing all those who are willing to do some heavy spiritual lifting to join us in preparing the way of the Lord into Louisville, Kentucky “For Such a Time as This!”

For months faithful intercessors, both nationally and locally in Kentucky, have sought God to intervene during our national event to make redemptive history. As we draw near to the actual time of marching into Louisville, it is important that we press in to further the prayer vision that under girds the work of the Lord.

24 Hour Prayer Watch

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16).

Sign up to pray during the “24 Hour Prayer Tent” in Louisville, KY. July 22-23 (8AM-8AM).

Calling all intercessors and prayer warriors who are coming to our OSA national event “For Such a Time as This”, we are needing you to sign up and minister at our Tent of Meeting. We need all 12 slots filled in for our 24 hour prayer watch. We will have Bibles, tracts, praise, worship, intercession, and witnessing for 24 hours straight as the saints come marching into Louisville.

We plan on moving the Tent of Meeting on Monday morning to the death camp to have 24/7 intercession till the end of the event on Saturday, July 29th. We plan on besieging this last remaining altar of Moloch in Kentucky and rip it out by its demonic roots. Put of the full armor of God my friends and may the high praise of God be in our mouths and a two edged sword in our hands. Jesus promised to build His church and the gates of hell will not prevail!

The following three videos covers what took place at our pretrial today for the mother’s Day Rescue. They kicked it down the road. We have to come back after the national event on September 19th, 2017. That means Rescue as a witness is kept in the system and before the public fir the near future. Your prayers are welcomed and needed. Thanks!
This is our meeting before going to court. We had a church service in the middle of down town and then updated our brothers and sisters on the implications of our case.
These two videos covers what happened after our appearance in court. I hope they encourage you on the progress of our national event and the good fruit that has already been produced by God’s blessings, and favor.

As our Rescue pretrial is scheduled for tomorrow, this press release went out today throughout the state of Kentucky. May God’s word act as a hammer to break the stone of injustice and as a fire to burn up the lies and murder of the Evil One.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 10, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ — On Saturday, May 13th, a historical line was crossed that had not been crossed in nearly 15 years in the battle to end the American holocaust called abortion. Eleven gentle Christians led by a worship song, Jesus with Thy Church Abide, sat down on the property of the last remaining death camp in Kentucky to “Rescue those unjustly sentenced to death” (Proverbs 24:11, 12).

See video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmEJRZMe06U

This act of Christian interposition created no small stir. It sent shock waves from the Church House to the White House. In fact, Operation Save America, who led the charge, heard from people from other nations. They wrote to communicate how they were impacted by this small sacrifice given to the Lord on the behalf of His helpless, fatherless, and defenseless children who are being led to slaughter for blood money.

True to God’s Word, Jesus promised His followers would be brought before the “powers that be” as a testimony. On July 11, the eleven rescuers will have a pretrial hearing at the Hall of Justice, 700 West Jefferson Street, Louisville at 9 AM to determine the future course of their case. The venue has indeed changed, but the ministry remains the same.

Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas, National Director of Operation Save America stated,

“Our testimony is clear. Roe vs. Wade is legal fiction and pretend legislation. Courts cannot make law and any human law that violates God’s law is no law at all. The crime of murder is being committed at the EMW Women’s Surgical Center and our justice system is committing another grave injustice by arresting the wrong people.

“Abortion is not a healthcare issue that can be resolved by a legal technicality. It is a crime that must be penalized by law. God demands justice in order to cleanse the state of Kentucky from blood guiltiness. We call upon Gov. Bevin, the legislators, sheriffs, and the police departments in Kentucky to be strong and of a good courage. Kentucky stands on the threshold of becoming the first abortion free-state in America. We plead with the good citizens of Kentucky to rise up, ignore Roe, establish justice, and outlaw all abortions from chemical to surgical in Jesus’ mighty name!”

“And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost’” (Luke 15:6)
 
A beautiful thing happened when we were outside Planned Parenthood. It was a long, muggy morning. After a few hours of sticky ministry, two faithful local pastors who minister regularly outside Planned Parenthood shared a closing prayer. People left the sidewalks for home. The Carenet ultrasound van pulled away. We had 11 children with us. They were eager to go and cool off but we decided to stay just a few moments longer.
 
Before we packed up, Valiant (17) noticed a car slowing down. He flagged the woman as he called me over from another part of the driveway. When I reached her window, I noticed she had a young woman in the front seat. I asked if her daughter was pregnant. The mother, “M” explained that her daughter, “J” was mentally challenged. Although she appeared older, her mind was like that of a child.
 
“M” said a neighbor man had taken advantage of her disability and sexually abused her. When “M” confessed her daughter was pregnant, “J” began crying. “M” said her daughter was being pressured to have an abortion by the man who abused her and his mother.
 
The manipulation was working. “J” was scared. We reminded “J” that God loves her and has a different plan. We reminded her that regardless of the situation, God Word tells us babies are gifts. Babies are blessings from Him. We gave “J” an exquisite illustrated fetal development booklet, “Tiny Hands That Hold My Heart.” “M” said she was Christian.
 
That caused “J” to say, “I’m afraid my pastor will be mad at me.” She started to cry again. In her childlike mind, she couldn’t understand how she too was a victim. Since she was pregnant, in her mind, it must be her fault. What would her pastor think?
 
“M” knew there was a free ultrasound van parked in front of Planned Parenthood. She had hoped that by seeing her baby “J” would not want an abortion. Without the ultrasound van, “M” was unsure of what to do. As I dialed Carenet and handed the phone to “M,” Elaine went to the passenger window and ministered to “J.” “J” shared that the abuse happened when no one was around. Elaine continued to offer her supportive, grandmotherly love. After a few moments, “J” relaxed. Soon she was smiling.
 
Clasping the booklet, she gently petted a baby picture like one would pet a kitten. She told Elaine she was going to name her baby, Bella, after her favorite movie, Beauty and the Beast. “I want my baby to know she is a princess.” Elaine replied, “And you are God’s princess.”
 
“M” confided she was a single parent. She was clearly trying to do her best to keep her daughter safe. The family was reeling from the sexual abuse, the surprise pregnancy, and the pressure from the perpetrator’s family.
 
We asked where they went to church, to discern the level of support they might have. When “M” told us we were taken aback. With great joy we explained to “J” that her pastor would certainly help her. Just thirty minutes ago he had stood on the sidewalk and tried to help girls JUST LIKE HER.
 
Standing outside Planned Parenthood he had prayed to God to rescue babies and help women…without knowing they were going to show up needing the Lord’s help 30 minutes later.
 
“M” and “J” kept their appointment with Carenet. They posted the ultrasound picture on Facebook. We are happy to report Bella looks just like a princess. Please pray that the man responsible for the abuse would be brought to justice and for their “happily ever after” redemptive story.

As we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July, here is an article to perhaps share with your church, family, and friends.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are dinged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him (Isaiah 51:1, 2).”

When it comes to celebrating this most American of holidays, it is interesting to note that our Founding Fathers didn’t consider the 4th of July a holiday. No, to them this day represented far more than just another festival to acknowledge in the myriad of special days Americans honor. According to John Adams, the second President of the USA, the 4th of July, “Ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” Surprisingly, John Adams believed Independence Day was to be a Holy Day to be spent in Thanksgiving to the Almighty for His mighty deliverance that He wrought on the behalf of our fledgling nation.

His son, John Quincy Adams, our 6th President, declared, “Why is that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day (July 4th). Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the Progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon Earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity…”

According to Mr. Adams, it took the spread of Christianity 1,800 years to finally culminate in the establishing of America. He believed the highest glory of the Revolution permanently linked the principles of Christianity with the principles of civil government. He viewed the Declaration as the first social compact and governing document in the history of man to establish its foundation on the mission of Jesus Christ in the earth. Obviously, America is dreadfully void of that perspective today.

Yes, there is much evidence that points to the fact that America is a unique nation amongst the nations of the earth. It is evident that the land itself was preserved for a special purpose in God’s Providence. Although America was prime “real estate” in the earth and filled with natural resources, it remained virtually untapped for thousands of years. You do not see the pyramids of Egypt, the glory of Rome, nor the grandeur of Greece upon these shores. Why is it that there was no great civilization established here until a persecuted people longing to be free to worship the God of Heaven in Spirit and in truth came to these shores? If you can answer that question then you are on the road to understand the vision for America and her destiny that stands in peril today.

Another unique mark upon this nation that is exclusively American is the fact that we are the only nation on earth that was founded on a creed. All the other nations on earth were essentially established upon ethnicity, nationality, or race. Not so with America. Regardless of skin color or any other physical attribute that distinguishes human beings, what makes an American an American is a creed. A creed that is articulated in a document we call The Declaration of Independence.

Before we explore some vital points of that creed, we need to understand, whereas the Constitution is the letter of the law, (that has been ignored, twisted, bent, and perverted through judicial activism to subject Americans to legalized evil today) the Declaration is the Spirit of the Law. The Declaration supplies the premises, the presuppositions, and the underlying principles that we have forgotten to the Constitution’s harm. You will see this clearly as we examine a few of those foundational principles contained within the Declaration that was to be the heart, soul, and source to establish and sustain our Christian Republic called America.

On July 4th, 1776, the delegates of the Continental Congress voted to ratify the Declaration which began with these profound words, “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature God entitles them…”

It is extremely important to understand and it cannot be emphasized enough that our Founding Fathers cited the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God as the sole basis for breaking ties with England and to become a separate nation in the earth. To comprehend the magnitude of that particular phrase utilized by Thomas Jefferson, one must look to Sir William Blackstone who was the first one to coin the phrase.

Sir William Blackstone was a renowned English jurist who wrote the highly influential work called, “Commentaries on the Laws of England ” He was one the most quoted sources, besides the Bible, John Locke, and Baron de Montesquieu, which our Founding Fathers cited as the basis for establishing America.

Blackstone defined the laws of nature and of nature’s God as:

Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being… And, consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his Maker’s will … this will of his Maker is called the law of nature. These laws laid down by God are the eternal immutable laws of good and evil. This law of nature dictated by God Himself; is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this… The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found in the Holy Scriptures … {and} are found upon comparison to be really part of the original law of nature. Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation (Thomas Jefferson penned of nature’s God as a substitute for the law of revelation) depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.

According to Blackstone, who was the inspiration behind the laws of nature and of nature’s God statement, the creation itself testifies and teaches man that there is a Supreme Being. The immutable laws contained within nature reveal a Creator that man is to be subject to by virtue of being a dependent creature. Apparently, Blackstone was a jurist who studied the only sure basis for law, which is Holy Writ. Both Romans 1:20 and Psalms 19:1-3 verify his writings.

According to Blackstone, even though man has reasoning capabilities, it has been made corrupt by sin. The Lord did not leave revelation to chance however. No, He made a direct appeal to mankind through what Blackstone called the “law of revelation,” in which the Declaration interprets “of nature’s God.” The Ten Commandments, God’s moral Law, was God’s way of appealing to man objectively to confirm within man what he instinctively knows to be true. Yet, due to man’s fallen nature again, we inevitably suppress the truth and exchange it for a lie. Undeterred, in God’s great mercy, He sent the second person of the Godhead, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the most perfect revelation and we are therefore without excuse.

The Bible teaches that Jesus is the expressed image of God (Hebrews 1:3). He was the Word (God’s direct revelation to man) made flesh and dwelt amongst us. Jesus stated, “If you’ve seen me, you have seen the Father (John 14:9).” In other words, Jesus was the visible manifestation of the invisible God. According to Blackstone, unless laws were based upon these truths, they were not laws at all and “no human law should be suffered to contradict these.”

Our next stop along the way as we explore the Declaration is, “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” Can you believe in this moral relativistic age in which we live, that our Founding Fathers actually had the audacity to believe in a concept called self-evident truth? Now truth by its very nature lends itself completely to the notion that there are moral absolutes. It also implies the inevitability of error, deception, and lies. Obviously, our Founding Fathers would be laughed to scorn today, if they brought that archaic view to our “enlightened” humanistic public schools.

We don’t teach children that there is such a thing as self-evident truth, moral absolutes, and a definite right and a definite wrong. No, we teach kids to decide for themselves what is right or wrong with no standard except what their own unregenerated hearts crave. As a result, millions of American children are left to construct their own “truth” and values apart from the God of the Bible. Can there be any doubt that this mentality has opened the proverbial Pandora’s Box that is savaging our young today? School shootings, violence, immorality, sexual confusion, and drug abuse are a direct result of our nation rejecting the time honored wisdom of our Founding Fathers.

Yes, our Founding Fathers believed in self-evident truth that was not based upon the subjective experience of fallen man, but on God’s objective truth that is transcendent and authoritative over man. Yes, they believed in truth because they longed for freedom. They knew Biblically, you can’t have freedom without truth. Where would they obtain such a notion? John 8:31, 32 records, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Keep in mind, freedom to them was not the ability to do whatever they wanted, but the power to do as they ought. Self-government was the key to liberty. America would do well to remember from whence she came and what those who birthed her actually believed.

The next important phrase contained in the Declaration goes like this, “That all men are created equal; and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” Notice it doesn’t say that man evolved into equality and by virtue of evolution have secured unalienable rights. Why is it our Founding Fathers believed in creationism, and yet, we can’t teach this history to our children?

Ideas have consequences, my friend. Evolution has been the intellectual underpinnings of every atheistic, totalitarian government that has committed unspeakable atrocities against the very people they claimed to serve. Communism, Nazism, and Fascism are just a few of the regimes that rejected the concept of Creator. They opted for an evolutionary worldview instead, which justified their crimes against humanity. Their bloody history aptly displays the bitter fruit of an atheistic state that utilizes evolution to rationalize oppression. After all, evolution teaches that the strong survive. So, it must be ethical to exploit, abuse, and destroy the weak to get what we lust for in life, right? No, a thousand times no!

We see this mentality so clearly manifest with the struggle over abortion. Fallen men at times use and abuse women by virtue of their superior strength. In like manner, feministic women demand to be empowered as well. Roe v Wade decriminalized child sacrifice, which allowed women to use their superior strength against their own helpless children. God help us! Christianity, on the other hand, teaches that the strong are to help the weak. We are never permitted by God to exploit them. This Biblical concept is one of the reasons that made America great. How many times has America invested our blood, treasure, and toil to liberate weaker nations that were subjugated to cruelty by stronger nations?

What has happened to America since we have officially rejected our Creator that our Founding Fathers looked to as the basis of establishing America as an independent nation amongst the nations of the earth? We are becoming what we fought against in World War Two. We have shifted from right makes might to might makes right. As I write, America seems hell bent on using our superior strength, political clout, and finances to spew the filth of Hollywood, abortion, the feminist doctrine, and the homosexual agenda throughout the globe. Is it any wonder why Islam calls America the “Great Satan” and seeks our destruction?

The Declaration proceeds with these words, “That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (not a guarantee of happiness that the “government as Savior” programs promise). That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Our Founding Fathers believed that man’s rights came from God, the Creator, and that civil government was established to protect those rights. This is the clear teaching of Romans 13:1 which states, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”

Historically, Americans believed that we were “One Nation under God.” In fact, our national motto is “In God We Trust.” It was not one nation under many gods, but the one, true and living God, the God of the Bible, the triune God of Holy Scripture, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. When mankind rejects this Biblical truth of God’s sovereignty, however, man has only two failed options available.

First, the state is sovereign and the ultimate authority. This has historically led to the murderous regimes, previously mentioned that has crushed the freedoms, lives, and property of many. In fact, the 20th century alone, has witnessed hundreds of millions of innocent people massacred by this monstrous lie. The second option is man as an individual is sovereign, which inevitably leads to anarchy, chaos, and confusion. Only One Nation under God can secure the delicate tension between authority and liberty. It is the only one that can sustain a just social order on the one hand and maximum individual freedom on the other. All else is sinking sand and cisterns that can’t hold water.

Indeed, God is the supreme authority and civil government is a delegated authority established for His glory and for our benefit. The Declaration then warns civil government, “that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government.” This particular phrase is why we are crying out for a “Gentle Revolution.” Either America experiences a spiritual, godly, and moral revolution that lands us squarely back upon the “Rock” from which we were hewn or I shudder to think of what may befall us.

Finally, our Founding Fathers make their appeal, “to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions… With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

In the Declaration, the God of the Bible is acknowledged as Law-giver, the source of Law, Creator, the Source of life, the Supreme Judge, the highest authority, and the Protector of America’s rights. Without this revelation beating in the heart of every true American, then all the 4th of July represents is eating, drinking, and watching fireworks.

I pray that each of you that read this article will consider these historical truths and their implications. They represent the righteous foundations upon which America once stood. We must awaken and recognize that these foundational truths are crumbling as we abandon God, our righteous heritage, and the principles that made us great. Our history is being deleted or rewritten to further the “foes of our own American household’s” godless agenda. We must therefore, look to the Rock that hewed us and the Patriarchs that bore us before it is too late.

GOD SAVE AMERICA AND NO KING, BUT KING JESUS!

Lord of the Breakthrough News

“For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries” (1 Corinthians 16:9)

God is good! He meets the needs of His people. There have been unique challenges as we have prepared the way of the Lord for our national event in Louisville, Kentucky. With “For Such a Time as This” coming within 4 weeks, we still did not have a church to host our opening rally on Saturday, July 22nd, a place to eat our lunches from Monday-Friday, nor a place to instruct our children and youth for our afternoon training sessions.

I’m glad to report that today all those needs were met. We found another courageous church to open their doors and provide the hospitality we needed to fulfill the vision and mission of OSA.

The following is the specific information. Be mindful, it will be a little tight for our opening rally. We are looking for a tent, some chairs, and a screen for the overflow that Saturday evening rally. We will keep the tent and chairs for the week to provide shelter for our lunches on this church’s property. This facility will also host our children’s and youth training sessions in the afternoon. Thanks be to God!

Rescue Interview Part 2
Rescue Interview Part 2

The following is a wonderful testimony from a pastor recently birthed into the battle to end the American holocaust. God willing, we will be working with this pastor and other pastors during our national event “For Such a Time as this!” Be encouraged saints, though the battle rages, the enemy threatens, and much of the Church is still asleep in the light, the Gentle Revolution continues to spread.

Greetings,

My name is David Pryor. I serve as a pastor of Clearnote Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is the story of God’s work in my life as it relates to the fight against abortion. Like many Christians today, I have always been opposed to abortion: I’ve spoken out against it, prayed against it, even voted against it. And yet, when it came to actually going out and showing up as a minister of the gospel at my local abortion clinic to oppose this evil, I was missing from battle. The thought of showing up on a Saturday morning at this place of death to plead with mothers and fathers intent on destroying their own children just wasn’t high on my priority list. My view was that abortion mill ministry was an extracurricular activity of the church—one worth considering if resources and time allow for it. Ultimately, I felt no sense of urgency about engaging our church in the messy and difficult work of bringing the Gospel to perishing souls at the abortion mill. But God changed my heart.

About 6 months ago, I came into contact with several ministries engaged in frontlines evangelism at the abortion mill. I was introduced to the work Pastor Rusty Thomas of Operation Save America, Pastor Jeff Durbin of Apologia Church, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon of Sovereign King Church and John Barros of Saint Andrews, were each doing outside their local abortion mill. Seeing their faithfulness from afar, and the fruit being produced, God began to birth in me and in the leadership of our church, a strong desire to fully engage in this battle for the lives of the preborn.

We stepped out in faith one Saturday morning and showed up at the Indianapolis Clinic for Women, a local facility that exists exclusively to preform abortions—murdering close to a dozen babies a week.

As I was preaching that morning, in an SUV across the parking lot with tinted windows cracked, a man and woman sat waiting for the clinic to open. I began calling out directly to the man —I spoke of his divine call from God to be a protector of women and children; I warned him of the shamefulness and wickedness of his apathy; and that he may not claim to be a man if he participates in the murder of his own child. For nearly 15 straight minutes a plead with this man. Then the car drove over. A large intimidating man got out, angry and red in the face. He said that as he was hearing me challenge his manhood, he wanted to tear my “f—ing head off” because I had no idea what they were going through.

This man explained that his wife had been unfaithful to him and was six weeks pregnant; and up until that point he had been ready to kill the child but after sitting in the car hearing the preaching, he decided that he would keep the baby and be a father to the child as his own. I was amazed! God worked in a mighty way! We both had tears in our eyes. After our group prayed for him, I witnessed this man’s attitude change from anger to softness. He went from being ready to tear my head off, to giving me several hugs. We also had the joy of speaking with this man about his need of Christ. At the end of our conversation, I told him that he was an example of courage and that God would bless him.

What a wonderful encouragement! The Holy Spirit moved; a baby was saved; a man chose life for his unfaithful wife’s child! It is hard to find words that express the joy shared by our whole church body. But God wasn’t done working yet.

An amazing addition to the story happened the following Monday. I received a text from the man— He and his wife went to the doctor for an ultrasound that showed that she was actually 13 weeks pregnant – farther along than she had thought. The child was actually his own! He thanked us for being there that day, and gave praise to God! This was a very real manifestation of God’s promise of blessing from Deuteronomy 13:19: “Choose life, so that you and your children may live.” My prayer is that God uses this story as a means of encouragement for the saints:

To the faithful warriors already engaged in the trenches of this ministry:
Thank you for your example. Trust that God uses your faithfulness to enlist men like me to this service. And do not lose heart, “For in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.” (Gal. 6:9)

To the pastors and elders not currently engaged in this work: Begin to view this work as a legitimate and vital ministry in your church. Begin taking baby-steps of faithfulness–Show up at your local abortion clinic with a few men once a month to preach and pray. God will use these small steps of faith to mature and strengthen your congregation and your pastoral ministry.

Our Lord Jesus Christ promises His Church that the gates of hell will not prevail. I call on the church of the living God to rise up from slumber; to take up the full armor of God and show up for battle at the gates of hell, and see the salvation of the Lord!

Soli Deo Gloria,

Pastor David Pryor

This is what it is all about. REDEMPTION! May our dear brother’s testimony bound and be multiplied in the lives of many in Jesus’ name!

I want to touch base with the saints as we are moving forward with our national event in July. Our desire is to lay a strong foundation of intercession as we seek the Lord to bless Kentucky by becoming the first abortion free state in America.
God has blessed us with connecting with the local prayer movement in Kentucky with the OSA vision and mission. One intercessor group (There are other intercessor groups on board as well) has a director of prayer and team in every district in Kentucky. They will be helping to lead the charge through prayer as we prepare boots on the ground. Intercession combined with godly action are a dynamic duo that will produce good Kingdom fruit in our pursuit to abolish abortion now in Kentucky.
Currently, OSA has scheduled times of corporate prayer three times a week. I’m hoping that those who can will make these times of corporate prayer a righteous priority. The following information will connect those interested with these prayer opportunities. Feel free to join in anytime you would like to pray with the OSA intercessors.
Operation Rescue National/Operation Save America
 
Corporate prayer call:

(641)715-3200 Access code 1055110#
Also, here are two documents that lay out the prayer strategy as we move forward. Feel free to use them as the Lord leads as well.
The Four-fold Prayer Strategy
1) We are beginning now to mobilize intercessors to make our national event a major prayer target. Contact churches, friends, family, and fellow believers and call them to cry out to God for Kentucky’s deliverance from blood guilt.
2) We are calling the church to fast and pray using the book of Psalms for three days to prepare the way of the Lord “For Such a Time as This!” The dates for the fast and prayer are July 17-19, 2017. Spread the word and get others to commit to this much needed Kingdom focus. Jesus reminds us there are certain evils and demonic strongholds that can only be broken by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21).
3) We will set up a prayer tent somewhere strategically in the city for our 24 hour prayer watch. It will begin Saturday morning, July 22nd at 8 AM and it will end Sunday morning, July 23rd at 8 AM. We will need to staff this tent with intercessors who will commit to a 2 hour period of time during the 24 hours. We will need 12 teams to make sure the 24 hours are covered. The local intercessor groups are working to staff this tent of meeting. If those from OSA would like to participate, please let me know at your earliest convenience and we will you sign you up for some of the slots. We are planning on having bibles, tracts, prayers, praise, and worship all 24 hours.
4) This is not set in stone, but if there is a willingness and we have the intercessors committed, we plan on moving the Tent of Meeting to the abortion mill. Thus, we can have 24/7 intercession for the entire week. Please let me know if that is something that you might be interested in as fulfilling part of the prayer vision for Kentucky.
We have about a month and a half before the national event begins. Much labor, time, and resources have already been invested. Let’s now set our face like flint, our prayers towards heaven, and our feet towards the gates of hell, knowing the promise of God that they will not prevail against the church of the living God. Please pass on this prayer vision to those in your sphere of influence. Thanks and keep pressing on to the high call and prize.
