24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call Tuesday, January 8, 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 Tuesday 

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES

The FEAR of the LORD – Day 4

LIFE AND DEATH – Part 2

(This is a complex focus. Please read, pray into it and come to the Tuesday night 8-10 PM ET call with any questions or thoughts about it!) 

Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; 

from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. 

From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.

“Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it.”

Genesis 9:5-7

Polling consistently finds that very few Americans support abortion-on-demand throughout all nine months of pregnancy, which is in fact, the end result of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. The rulings in these cases have become the “law” of the land…and they will remain in force until five or more Supreme Court Justices no longer support the result of abortion-on-demand above the will of the American people and their solemn oaths to administer justice impartially. God help us! We have sinned against You and allowed the blood of holy innocents of our day to saturate and stain our land! Convict our people to repent and turn this around! 

These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 

A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

Proverbs 6:16-19

A woman seeking an abortion often encounters Christians praying and doing “sidewalk counseling” outside an “abortuarium” (an abortion mill, abortuary, place where the act of abortion occurs) as they enter the building. Clinic escorts go out to meet them and become physical blockades between those about to abort and those trying to save the babies in their wombs! Inside, doctors, nurses, intake counselors, receptionists, and office and support staff are standing ready to help the women kill their babies! Working in these killing fields, many consider themselves “heroes”, for making abortion readily accessible and murdering innocent babies!

Womens’ consciences may tell them abortion is wrong, but abortion advocates urge and encourage them to exercise their right to “choose” to have an abortion, even if they do not have compelling reasons. The evil “smokescreen” that “pro-death” proponents use is saying that they are “concerned with the woman’s right to “choose” and that making a judgment about whether that “choice” is morally licit is unimportant! (* Definition of smokescreen: a cloud of smoke created to conceal military operations.)

Sadly, there are many individuals like Warren Buffett who support pro-abortion groups! Since 2003, he has donated $1.8 billion, which is equal to the cost of roughly 4 million first-trimester abortions

The history of this industry is incredible! Let’s look at what happened and how it evolved, so we can be conversant about it! 

Both cases were decided by a 7-2 vote. Justice Harry Blackmun wrote the majority opinions, joined by Chief Justice Burger, Justices Brennan, Stewart, Marshall and Powell. Justices White and Rehnquist wrote dissenting opinions.

Roe v. Wade (1973) specifically set up a trimester framework for future abortion laws. 

• In the first trimester of pregnancy, the state left the abortion decision to a woman and her physician.
• In the second trimester, the state could only enact laws which regulate abortions in ways “reasonably related to maternal health.” This meant that a state could determine who is qualified to perform the abortion and where such an operation may take place. The state could not enact laws that safeguarded the lives of the unborn.
• In the third trimester the law could forbid women to have an abortion, unless the abortion is necessary to preserve her “life or health.” In Doe v. Bolton, Roe’s companion case, the Supreme Court defined the word “health” in such broad terms that it is virtually impossible for a state to protect the unborn.
  • The majority opinion of Doe v. Bolton stated, “The medical judgment may be exercised in the light of all factors – physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age – relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to health.”

One of the most curious things about Roe is that, behind its own verbal “smokescreen”, the substantive judgment on which it rests is nowhere to be found. Eminent legal scholars who support abortion agree that Roe v. Wade was based on “fictitious legal theory”(with no foundation to legalize abortion). One said: 

“What is frightening about Roe is that this super-protected right (of abortion) is not inferable 

from the language of the Constitution,

 the framers’ thinking respecting the specific problem in issue (abortion), 

any general value derivable from the provisions they included (right to abort), 

or the nation’s governmental structure.” 

We pray:

• That the Supreme Court will overturn both Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton, based on the fact that they were illegal rulings in the first place, because they neither had a foundation in our Constitution, nor reflected the Founders’ thinking, nor was any value derived from permitting abortion, by persons or our government! 

Roe v. Wade was revisited in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) and it was upheld, despite it’s “indefensible reasoning”. The “trimester framework” definition (of permission to abort) was replaced by an “undue burden test” to see if abortion regulations place a “substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion before the fetus attains ‘viability’.” (Defined as the ability to live on its own, outside of the mother’s womb). Happily, this new undue burden test at the point of viability (which is growing earlier in pregnancy as medical advances are made) has allowed several pro-life laws such as parental consent and informed consent before abortion to be upheld.

Before 1973, abortion had been considered a matter for each state to decide through their legislatures. However, writings from Justices on the Supreme Court at that time make it clear that they were looking for a case that would remove abortion from the political process and allow the judicial system to take control of the issue. In order to accomplish this, the Court had to solve two problems. 

• First, neither the word “abortion” nor any reference to it is contained in the Constitution.
• Second, given the repeated failures in state legislatures to legalize abortion, the Court feared that any decision they issued legalizing unrestricted abortion-on-demand might be met with a level of political resistance that would ultimately undo the decision.

To address the first concern, the Court ruled in Roe vs. Wade:

• that, even though the right to abortion is not actually stated in the Constitution, they concluded that it “emanates from a penumbra (a shadow) of the right to privacy”. 
• to neutralize the possibility of a political backlash against the decision, the Court included language in Roe that “appears” to allow states to pass some restrictions on abortion. The most important example of this language is:

“State regulation protective of fetal life after viability thus has both logical and biological justifications. 

If the State is interested in protecting fetal life after viability, it may go so far as to proscribe (forbid) abortion 

during that period, except when it is necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother.”

Roe v. Wade

The Court was counting on the probability that prohibiting abortion “after viability” (once it could live outside the womb) – except when the mother’s life or health are at risk – would seem like a reasonable compromise to most people. But the rhetoric they used in Roe to create this compromise has two major flaws:

• First, viability is a moving target and is nothing more than a function of medical technology. This is proven by the fact that, today, premature babies routinely survive with no health problems at gestational ages that would have been unthinkable a hundred years ago. It should also be pointed out that a fundamental conflict of interest is created here since, in the context of abortion, the decision about whether an unborn child is “viable” or not is left up to the one doing the abortion. 
• Beyond that, the biggest problem with this paragraph is in the word “health.” Judicial documents such as this inevitably contain a definition section that defines any words or terms that could be ambiguous or misinterpreted. But, interestingly, no definition for “health” was included in Roe. 
• Sometimes, the Court issues what are called “companion decisions.” These decisions are made up of two or more cases on a common or closely related subject that must be read together in order to get the full impact of the rulings. This is what happened in the case of Roe vs. Wade. It was part of a companion decision along with a case called Doe vs. Bolton. And in that ruling, the definition of “health” is given…(all based on consideration of the woman’s desire, with no consideration for the child.) 

“… in the light of all factors – physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age –

relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to health.”

Doe vs. Bolton

This was the Court’s “sinister” strategy. In Roe, they: 

• (a) included wording that could be perceived as a compromise based on the word ”health” 
• (b) they then left out any definition for this word. 

Then, at the same moment, they issued Doe with a “catch-all” definition of heath that is so broad it could apply to any circumstance in which a girl or woman might be pregnant… and murder her child!

We pray:

• That the Court’s strategy and conspiracy to create these illegal abortion laws become apparent to all reasonable thinking people, so they demand they be overturned! 

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, 

‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 

Matthew 5:21

The effect was to take the “compromise” included in Roe – which the Court clearly did not want – and quietly remove it in Doe. (the “smokescreen”…or sleight of hand!)

• What the Justices understood was that, had they included their definition for health in Roe, the American people would have seen that they were making unrestricted abortion-on-demand legal 

throughout pregnancy. 

• The court also realized that Roe would get all the media attention and, that allowed Doe to “fly under the radar”. 
• In effect, Doe was not intended to merely define “health,” it was going to also conceal it from the public. (There is the deception and the illegality!)

And that is exactly what happened. Despite the fact that Doe vs. Bolton would have as much impact on abortion policy as Roe vs. Wade, media coverage at the time generally made no mention of it. Over the years, many judicial scholars who support legalized abortion have acknowledged that Roe was a political decision rather than a judicial one and that the Court simply “manufactured” a Constitutional right to abortion. 

• This has caused Roe to often be characterized as an exercise in “raw judicial power”, (judicial activism) with one former Supreme Court justice predicting that Roe, “… is clearly on a collision course with itself …”

It is also interesting to note that the litigants in the two companion decisions publicly renounced the legalization of abortion.

• Before they passed away, both Roe and Doe stated that they were deceived, manipulated and used by the pro-abortion attorneys involved.
• These two women, Norma McCorvey, the Roe of Roe v. Wade and Sandra Cano, the Doe of Doe v. Bolton, went on to be vocal pro-life activists. 
• Both asked the U.S. Supreme Court to rehear their cases, but the Justices refused to hear them directly; their stories had produced the result the Court has demanded! 

We pray:

• Thank You, Father, for saving both Norma and Sandra. You had mercy on them and they responded!

“When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the 

wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, 

he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” Ezekiel 33:8-9

• To be able to speak out on abortion, with love and transparency, and be used by You to dissuade those who are considering it, or remind those who have already aborted of Your love and forgiveness! We are Your Champions for Life! Give us the words and the courage in this Warfare of Love!
