The Lord’s prisoners just became the Lord’s freemen!
Hallelujah! Thanks for all those who took the time to contact the authorities on their behalf and the little ones made in God’s image.
PRAISE THE LORD!
Update: 4 are out and waiting for them to bring Denny out as well!
Our brothers had court and have been released (officially, but not out of the jail yet). The judge waived bail on 4 of them and $1000 was paid on one of them (Denny).
May Christ be praised! May we lay our lives down in love toward our Lord and our neighbors!
Acts 4:23-31 declares, “And being let go, they went to their own [companions] and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You [are] God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, “who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: ‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things?
The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ.’ “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together “to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, “by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.”

This is the press release concerning the rescue that took place yesterday in TN. Please read through it and make sure you follow up with the directions at the end. Our brothers and sisters need our help.
What Really Happened in Mount Juliet?
Police Arrest Peaceful, Obedient Christians!
“Today’s Prolife rescue included Christians from many denominations and various locations who joined together to save unborn children for three reasons; 1) To immediately save innocent unborn babies from the blade of the abortionist’s knife who were scheduled to die today. 2) To be obedient to the Christian Principals and commands of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 3) To keep the public discourse alive regarding the unjust laws in America that condemn innocent babies and cover the sin and lawlessness of those who kill children.
While many children are saved from abortion each day by faithful sidewalk counselors and ministers across the land. Today, there were babies who’s termination was imminent. There was no other defense for those children other than faithful Christian’s who were willing to sacrifice their own freedoms, risk arrest, peacefully, and non-violently interpose their bodies between those seeking the destruction of a little baby and those who are hired to perform the life destroying act of abortion.
One of the foundational principles of the Christian religion, is the principle of “the least of these”, and the defense of the widow and the orphan. Jesus said that Christian’s are obligated to do good to those in need and not just stand back and watch them suffer. How should one “do good” to an unborn baby scheduled to die?
The 9 adults and 4 children arrested today chose to obey the commands in Scripture. The rescuers place themselves between innocent, helpless, voiceless, preborn babies and those prepared to kill them through ‘legalized’ murder by abortion! They obeyed God’s mandate to “rescue those being led away to slaughter,” found in Proverbs 24:10-12 (and many examples elsewhere). God’s laws command everyone to rescue helpless others from harm!
In America, rescuing the innocent is lawful to do in every situation, except where it is needed most. Man’s decrees, opinions and unjust laws demand that these non-violent rescuers, who interposed today to save innocents from harm, must, by man’s laws, suffer harm themselves by facing civil and criminal penalties up to and including imprisonment.
Today, the only way to rescue those sentenced to death without cause was by interposition. That is the act played out by Jesus Christ on the cross when he interposed himself between the one who seeks to destroy men’s souls and rescued them from eternal death.
America, has many challenges facing her near future. The last presidential election shows the lack of moral character our leaders on both sides of the political aisle possess. Now more than ever it is critical that we as a nation wrestle with hard topics like abortion. It is important to understand the conflict our unjust laws place on good men of character, like many on the Mount Juliet police force today.
When a law requires our civil servants to arrest those who are keeping the law by protecting the innocent and to protect those who would murder innocent children, we need to question the path that brought us to this pathetic place as a nation. It is time to rethink Roe v. Wade and end the American holocaust. It is time for America to consider our ways before the God who presides over the destiny of nations.”
Brethren, your assistance is needed to help rescue the rescuers who are in jail in TN. They enjoyed favor with the local police and was used powerfully to exemplify the “no greater love” Christian ethic at the gates of hell. Their act of interposition also served to inspire and energize the local Christians fighting to end abortion in their community. However, a judicial commissioner is playing hardball when it comes to the amount set for their bail.
Normally, a misdemeanor trespass charge brings with it either a release on your own recognizance or $50 to $100 bail. Four minors were cited and released. Nine adults remain behind bars. They are refusing to pay the exorbitant amount of bail set against them.
For Cal Zastrow and Denny Green bail is set for $2500.00. For Jim Zastrow, Eva Zastrow, Oma Eva, Chet Gallagher, Caroline Davis, and Heather Iodina the bail is set for $1500.00. For a local young man, Paul Place, the bail is set for $1000.00.
At a time this jail and others are releasing known criminals due to the plandemic, this is ludicrous.
Please contact the Wilson County Jail at 615-444-1412 (option 1) and ask them who you need to contact to see the swift release of our brethren.
Here is the website page of the Wilson County government to search and help them.
Write or call these contacts to put godly pressure upon them to release these rescuers with an appropriate bail. Thank you and “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also” (Hebrews 13:3).
I want to thank those who prayed for the legislative hearing that took place in Idaho concerning yet another “pro-life” incremental bill that nibbles at the edges, but never deals directly with the murder of the preborn.
Perhaps, due to a lack of time or the fact I was out of state, the opportunity never materialized. The abolitionists who did speak did well by their Lord and the little ones made in His image. They faithfully delivered God’s mail.
Here is the proposed statement prepared for this legislative body.
I thank the Lord for the opportunity to address this body concerning the premier evil of our age, the wanton murder of our own sons and daughters through the criminal act of abortion.
One does not have to be a rocket scientist nor a scholarly theologian to know citizens should not be taxed and forced to give their money to organizations that murder their preborn neighbor.
But in light of this national travesty that has brought national calamity does this “pro-life” bill treat abortion according to knowledge.
I’m going to ask another rhetorical question and I’m not trying to be snarky. If each one of you were scheduled to be unlawfully put to death, your limbs torn from your body, your head’s decapitated, and your innocent blood shed, would you want citizens to back this bill or would you want them to support a bill where nobody could legally harm you? Jesus commanded, “Do unto others and as you would have them do unto you.”
For 48 years and counting, our nation has given lip service to the plight of the preborn who suffer a grave injustice. We have treated symptoms, but ignore the disease. We have pruned branches, but refuse to bring God’s ax of truth to the roots of this bloody, idolatrous tree. Half measure that keep kicking this wicked can down the road will never be sufficient enough to deliver our nation from evil.
President Thomas Jefferson stated, “The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government. He therefore enshrined the right to life in our own Declaration of Independence.
Roe vs. Wade violates the sacred trust of civil government. America has defended the indefensible ever since. We can continue to appease evil with “pro-life” incremental bills or we can establish justice for the preborn. I pray you will do the latter. Our nation can no longer afford the former in Jesus’ name!
The Lord continues to use Jeremiah’s legacy and testimony to touch and change lives. This was just released by No Greater Joy ministries in their monthly magazine. To God be the glory! If you find any merit, please pass it on in your sphere of influence. Thanks!
Jeremiah, the Faithful
By Kendra Thomas
Jeremiah ran his hand over his head, half expecting his fingers to comb hair. Instead, he felt a smooth cue ball. His thick blonde hair was gone. He sighed and let his head fall back on his pillow, thinking of his diagnosis . . . his chemo . . . his Make-a-Wish. He wanted to leave this bedroom, to do anything he used to do. But he couldn’t get out of his hospital bed now that his legs were paralyzed.
Jeremiah lifted the blanket and glanced down at his chest. A large white bandage covered the 10-inch crater of a tumor on his chest. Jeremiah let the blanket fall back in place and picked up his tablet from the overbed table. He logged into his Instagram.
Why were there so many vile comments? Why did so many people hate the fact that a 16-year-old football player spoke out in defense of unborn babies?
“Cancer is about to abort you.”
“Cancer is giving your mom a late term abortion. LMAO.”
“You aren’t dead yet? God, do your job.”
One rather lengthy comment accused him of supporting “a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, hateful” agenda, therefore he was “garbage” and deserved to suffer.
Twitter was worse than Instagram. “See u in hell, ugly.” “Natural selection doing its job.” “He’s young, brainwashed, and mentally ill.” A meme of someone “pulling the plug” on Jeremiah. A cartoon of him dying in bed. Accusations that he wanted “children to be abused and women to die.” Threats of bodily harm. Jeremiah almost smiled as he thought, “What more could they do to me than what cancer has already done?” The Facebook page “Prayers for Jeremiah,” had horrible comments too.
The Bible describes these haters and how they think.
Psalm 37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Proverbs 21:10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
Proverbs 29:27 … and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
Psalm 10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
Jeremiah’s dying wish was to abolish abortion. He had asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott to abolish abortion. Governor Abbott called Jeremiah in the hospital and told him, “Your wish is granted.”
Before his cancer, when he a was a strong, handsome, football jock all the girls would love to call their own, Jeremiah stood with God against the evil killing of babies, publicly functioning as a prolife activist. And when his body was failing and death seemed imminent, instead of retreating into self-pity, Jeremiah used his notoriety to continue the fight against abortion. It was his prominence and effectiveness that provoked the Liberals on social media to spew their hate.
His videotaped conference call with Governor Abbott garnered over 500k views. He also wrote a challenge to his generation, calling on thousands of young people to live for Christ. He talked with politicians from Oklahoma and Texas, encouraging them to lobby for a bill to abolish abortion. While in the hospital Jeremiah was interviewed by an ABC affiliate. He did a radio interview while on hospice with Jeff Durbin of Apologia Radio. During some of this time he was followed around by an abolitionist documentary film crew. He wanted to let his light shine into the darkness of this world until he was translated into God’s presence. A large anti-abortion publication in Italy interviewed him.
The Daily Mirror, England’s second largest newspaper, ran a story on the kid from America who loved God and was trying to save babies. He did a photoshoot for The Home Educator Quarterly magazine. Then young Jeremiah, deathly sick, gave two sermons at churches and preached at a youth camp. And when he was confined to a wheelchair, you could still find him outside of Planned Parenthood begging mamas not to kill their babies.
In Hebrews 11 God commends his faithful warriors from times past. After describing what they endured, he said of them, “Of whom the world was not worthy” (Hebrews 11:38).
One day as Jeremiah read though some of the ugly comments, he said to his mom, “To have that much darkness in your heart that you’d want a kid with cancer to die, it’s a scary place to be—mentally and spiritually. I pray God will have mercy on them.”
Jesus warned in John 15, “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”
For Jeremiah, being hated for the right reasons wasn’t bad. He knew, loved, and served the Living God. Jeremiah chose to be the voice for the unborn.
Jeremiah was a righteous rebel standing against the law when the law was unlawful. He never backed down.
The day Jeremiah departed this world and entered the gates of glory, I could almost hear Jesus say, “Jeremiah, thou good and faithful servant, job well done.”

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. ~Theodore Roosevelt
In the middle of the night, the Lord blessed Caleb and Destiny Hall with a precious daughter and for the Thomas Nation another granddaughter. Praise God for another Kingdom arrow to raise for the glory of the Lord.
Look out world. From what I understand she came out a fiery red head. Her name is Noa Grace Hall, 8lbs 4oz, 21.”
ABC national has followed our family, Josiah and Mariah Thomas, and the precious Campana family for a year working on a program that discusses our large families in the context of a nation suffering from infertility and a birth dearth.
They apparently check on our Facebook posts and noticed the insane, false accusation leveled against us and OSA. They asked if I would do a video about it so people might comprehend, at least somewhat, what those who seek to abolish abortion go through to fight this battle God’s way.
Be praying for these ladies. We have shared much of God’s Word and the Gospel of the Kingdom with them. They seem to be taking a genuine interest in our family, ministry, and plight to end the American holocaust. Only time will tell how this will all turn out.
The following is the video sent to them. If you find any merit, please pass it on in your sphere of influence. To God be the glory!
This was the message recently preached in Lubbock, TX. We were there to defend the city from Planned Parenthood. They are in the midst of setting up their chop shop to sacrifice children and shed innocent blood.
The mayor of Odessa, a godly statemen, heard the message and wants to discuss how he can make Odessa an abortion free city. Please keep these developments in prayer and if you find any merit in the message, please pass it on in your sphere of influence. Thanks!
The bill SB495 to Abolish Abortion immediately and totally in Oklahoma will be heard in committee tomorrow at 9 am. It is vitally important that every Senator in the Human and Health Services Committee hear from you GRACIOUSLY ENCOURAGING them to support SB 495 The Equal Protection and Equal Justice Act.
This is the brief letter I sent to this group of magistrates.
Dear Honorable Oklahoma Legislators,
The Lord richly bless you! I realize the stress you must be under concerning SB 495. I’m sure “the powers that be” place much pressure upon you to maintain the status quo of the pro-life position that only regulates baby murder, but never ends it.
It is this compromised posture that has sustained the American holocaust for 48 years and counting. The pro-life movement has been bottlenecked by the tyrannical Supreme Court and has been reduced to a pro-life hamster wheel. Much money, effort, and time is spent maintaining the status quo while innocent babies in the womb continue to be murdered under our watch.
Pro-life politicians get their votes and pro-life groups raise their money and everyone gets want they want, except the victims of this national travesty of justice, the preborn child who is made in the image of God. To say this must end is the understatement of this century.
Roe vs. Wade violated the function of civil government. It is a lawless, iniquitous decree. It is pretend legislation and legal fiction. Even the Biden administration farce has admitted this truth. He has promised to codify Roe into law, which means it was never binding in the first place. God forgive us for our complacency and complicity with this national evil that has brought national calamity upon us.
Civil government was ordained by God with a 2-fold purpose: To restrain evil, so we do not descend back to the precondition wickedness before Noah’s flood and to protect life and stop the shedding of innocent blood. Genesis 9:6 declares, “Whoever sheds man’s blood, (Criminal) by man his blood shall be shed; (Civil Government) For in the image of God He made man.”
Since Roe, our government has betrayed its sacred trust and has ended up defending the indefensible. The sword meant as a ministry of justice has been perverted to the point our government protects the murder of the innocent and punishes Christians who peaceably intervene to save their lives.
With this bill, Oklahoma stands on the verge of making redemptive history. By passing this bill, you will be the first state to establish God’s justice, remove the stain of blood guiltiness, and be consistent with American jurisprudence concerning equal justice under law.
I beseech you by all you hold sacred to be strong and of a good courage. Do your duty and what is right before God as those who will stand before Him one day to give an account and remember these words by John Quincy Adams our sixth President, “Duty in Mine, the result belong to God.”
IN KING JESUS’ SERVICE,
Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas
National Director, Operation Rescue/Operation Save America
