Jan 16, 2019 – Prayer Focus

24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call Wednesday, January 16, 2019 

“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD” 

1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # 

We have received several warnings about pending threats against the 24/7 call. We will not tolerate any demonic interference! We are taking measures to protect as well as to defend our 24/7 family and the call. At the top of every hour, the facilitator will take the first 3 minutes to bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss. They will then pray a shield of protection over the call and our 24/7 family 

*The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly 

for the safety and security of our President and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!

We pray for the protection of our President, Donald Trump and cover him with the Blood of Jesus. 

Thank You for instructing and guiding him, giving him wisdom through Your Holy Spirit. 

We bless his wife, our First Lady, Melania, their young son Barron and each of their family members. 

We also cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family with that Precious Blood,

and include all those in the Trump Administration who are serving You and our nation! Thank You, Father!

Strategic Focus for Wednesday 

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES

The FEAR of the LORD – Day 12

The Shedding of Innocent Blood – Part 1

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, 

blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 

that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, 

for He is your life and the length of your days”

Deuteronomy 30:19-20

This past weekend, in cities across the United States, courageous Christians left the comfort of their homes, and in many cases braved the winter cold, to MARCH FOR LIFE in their cities and communities! They stood and marched together, as ONE BODY IN CHRIST, coming from various denominations, with different mindsets and expressions of their faith, to endorse the KINGDOM perspective on LIFE…that it is sacred and must be upheld! 

This coming Friday, January 18th, many of these “Champions for Life” will travel from all 50 states to converge on Washington, DC, our nation’s Capitol, where they will stand together against abortion and for LIFE! The March for Life Rally will take place at 12 Noon Friday, on the National Mall, at 12th Street, in between Madison Drive and Jefferson Drive, and then, following the Rally, the March for Life will take place, beginning on Constitution Avenue, between 12th and 14th Streets, at approximately 1 PM.

For these next few days, we of the 24/7 family, who are CHAMPIONS FOR LIFE, will be focusing on some aspect of this critical issue of LIFE, praying into it each day as we build up to Friday’s National March for Life. 

Most people are unaware of this very sad statistic: although heart disease, cancers and accidents take thousands of lives in the US each year, ABORTION takes millions of lives and is our leading cause of death! 

Aborted babies are never given the chance to choose to live their lives for Christ. They, along with many of their mothers, die needlessly….literally offered up and “sacrificed” to satisfy the blood thirst of evil spirits in abortuaries across this nation. 

“They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood,

The blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; 

and the land was polluted with blood.”

Psalm 106:37-38

We pray: Father, forgive us for allowing the destruction of over 60 million of Your little ones in our nation since 1973! Turn the hearts of the people of the United States and cause us to once again RESPECT LIFE…and You, its Author! 

The sheer number of abortions that have already taken place in our nation is horrible enough, over 60 million since Roe v Wade was upheld in 1973, but it is even worse when we realize there are people, in particular women, who are not horrified at this, people who not only defend this practice…but celebrate it! That is a total abomination…horrendous…monstrous. Scripture has this to say about it:

“Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, 

and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter, 

 that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire?”

Ezekiel 16:20-12

An example of someone whose mind has become so seared and perverted is Carolyn Payne, a young woman who grew up in what she defined as “a Christian home”, she said she had “loving parents” and every opportunity to make the most of her life. Instead, she made the deadly decision to become an abortion “doctor”’. While an Ob / Gyn resident, she wrote a column for a women’s website, and in it, she said that her faith and upbringing influenced her to abort unborn babies for a living and she literally “flaunted” her “career goal” of providing training programs for abortion doctors in the US. 

For the past two days, we have been praying about the very breath of God that is released when we as Christians speak “life” into a situation. Here, we have a young woman who is speaking “death” over lives! 

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. 

The person who labors, labors for himself, for his hungry mouth drives him on. 

An ungodly man digs up evil, and it is on his lips like a burning fire.”

Proverbs 16:25-27

Her “musings” (“reflections” or “thoughts” about this topic) are a disquieting and disgusting look at how abortion doctors justify their horrific position toward life. What they regard as their “treatment” of women completely ignores the humanity of the unborn child. They slaughter babies in the womb without qualms! As we pray through these, her statements, let us come in the opposite spirit…and reverse the “curses” over the women, the providers and especially the babies of our nation!

This woman said she “loves” providing abortion “care” to women and is “proud” to do so…as are many of her colleagues who are “not afraid, embarrassed or ashamed to say so.”

• Pray: that we will love and nurture and care for our children, seeing them as God sees them!

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.”

Psalm 127:3-5

Asked, “Who wants to be an abortion provider?” she said: “I do…and I’m a 5’ blonde from Ohio and my last boyfriend was a pastor. In fact, my Midwest, Christian upbringing is largely responsible for my belief that providing abortion services is one of the most meaningful ways I feel I can contribute to making the world a more fair and equal place for women”. 

• Pray: that blinders will come off their eyes, and they will see what is truly meaningful, the beauty and wonder of the unborn child as it grows within its mother’s womb! 

“I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s womb, You have been My God.”

Psalm 22:10

Relating her own past, she said: “I never experienced unplanned pregnancy because I was fortunate enough to have parents who understood the “normalcy” of teenage sexuality, and provided me education and opportunities to prevent pregnancy and disease. I could have sex, just like a man could, and go on with my life, with minimal fear of life-changing consequences (such as unwanted pregnancy).”

• Pray: that women will know how loved and cherished they are by our Heavenly Father, and experience being treasured in the natural by their earthly parents, so they will choose men who will love and protect them, not use and impregnate, causing them to seek abortions!

“Can a woman forget her nursing child and not have compassion on the son of her womb?

Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.

Isaiah 49:15

She believes that our society is “unjust”, because “all women who desire contraception should have it…that it’s “necessary” for women to be able to achieve their goals…because women are humans, and humans have sex.”

• Pray: that women will know God… and discover His plan for their lives, not their own! 

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; 

male and female He created them.”

Genesis 1:27

“Proud” of her abortion work? How can we even comprehend the inner workings of the mind of someone like this? We cannot! 

She has openly admitted that aborting an unborn baby for the first time made her and other abortion doctors-in-training “feel good”. She wrote:

• “To us, abortion training was something we advocated for in medical school, and we actively sought out in our residency training programs.” 
• “To us, abortion training was exciting, because it meant we were developing the skills necessary to provide women with safe reproductive healthcare.”
• “To many of us, the decision to receive training in abortion wasn’t agonizing at all. Rather, providing our first ‘MVA’ [manual vacuum aspiration] abortion was a ‘feel good procedure,’ because we had successfully performed an intervention that changed a woman’s life for the better!”
  

“To us, to us, to us…” spoken over and over again! We see that her thoughts are centered on the women, not the babies they have conceived and are carrying! Nowhere does she mention what happens to the unborn child in an MVA abortion – how the unborn baby’s body is crushed and sliced and then suctioned out of the mother’s womb. Then the baby’s body parts are typically put into a bowl to make sure they are all there. This gruesome killing procedure was described as “exciting” by Payne.

• We pray that our focus would be turned from “us” and what we choose to think, feel and do…and back to You, Lord. 

“…although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, 

but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, 

and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator…”

Romans 1:21-25

This young woman also said:

• that “abortion makes life more “fair” for women who did not have the education or resources to prevent their pregnancies” or simply thought a baby would get in the way of their education or career. 
• that abortions themselves are ‘fair’… because we can then have children who are born into a world where they are wanted, and loved, and cared for, and have the resources they need to thrive. 
• that abortion is a social good…a way in which physicians can contribute to a more socially just world”
• …and about her possibly becoming pregnant in the future, that abortion is already in her mind if her “pregnancy” does not turn out as expected (no mention of her unborn child).
  • “I hope that my doctor will put my life and my health first. That means that he is trained to terminate pregnancies. I hope they get that training in medical school, residency, fellowship, and beyond.” 
  • “I also hope they feel good about it, because it is a good thing. Saving women’s lives, and enabling women to have both the public and private life she desires is a very good thing.”

Lord, as we see the darker side of those engaged in the murder of millions of Your children, both here and around the world, we are grief stricken! We fall on our faces before You, asking You to have mercy on our nation! Many here have violated Your law by turning from You and becoming their own gods…then making decisions that are in direct opposition to all that You stand for…to the LIFE You have given!! Forgive our nation, and draw us back to You…to the place where we cherish LIFE as sacred and care for it as You do! We sing!
