The Battle Begins

Ok, I promise this will be the last political post for a while but this is an important enough issue that I'm going to ask you to bear with me through one more post. I want to talk now about the Freedom of Choice Act. This is a pro abortion piece of legislation that will be reintroduced in Congress next year. Among the things it would accomplish would be to:

-Strike down bans on partial birth abortion
-Strike down parental notification laws
-Create a federal law guaranteeing a right to abortion

If you don't think this is a serious threat than you need to watch this video of Barak Obama speaking to Planned Parenthood



Two of the main quotes from Obama in the video:

"On this fundamental issue [abortion], I will not yield."

"The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act"

I know that not everyone is as conservative as I am or as worried about the Obama Administration. But this is an issue we need to unite around. Please visit fightfoca.com (thanks to John C. Wright for the link), sign the petition and consider donating to help fight this evil piece of legislation.

But more important than that let's pray. We've got over two months until Obama takes office and we can do a lot of fighting in the spiritual realm long before this bill gets to Congress. Let's pray passionately and fiercely. Lives are depending on it.

Here's how I intend to be praying.

I'm going to pray that God will soften the hearts of President Obama and of the pro choice members of Congress. We know from the story of the Exodus and elsewhere in Scripture that God can both soften and harden the hearts of rulers. Let's pray that we see that happen again.

I'm going to pray to bring the Kingdom of God against the kingdom of darkness in this country. At His ascension, Christ gave believers spiritual authority to bring the Kingdom. As citizens of this country, we have authority in Heaven and on Earth over what goes on here. We can bring the Kingdom, and the full work of Christ, against this legislation and against the powers of darkness in our nation. Remember the story of Daniel and the prince of Persia. There is more going on than we can see and we have authority to fight it.

I'm going to pray that the hearts and minds of individuals in this country will be opened and that they will see the truth about abortion and the horror of this legislation.

I'm going to pray for The Church in America. We as a church need to stand against abortion and that's more important now than ever.

Pray as the Spirit leads you but please pray and pray often. Lives are depending on it.
