The Healthcare Bill Join Lou Engle, Tony Perkins, & other leaders for a LIVE nationwide video webcast prayer convocation on December 16th 2009 at 8:30pm EST. National Healthcare System On Friday, December 4th, I was awakened early in the morning with a burden to pray as I considered the consequences of abortion being mainstreamed into the national healthcare system if the senate healthcare bill is passed. The Threshing Floor I turned to 1 Chronicles 21 where the destroying angel was standing between heaven and earth with his sword drawn at the threshing floor of Ornan. David was commanded to erect an altar to restrain the angel of death. In obedience and repentance, he offered up burnt offerings with broken prayers and the Lord heard, the angel sheathed his sword, and the plague was ended. God's Intervention With all my heart I believe we have come to the point where the angel of death can be restrained on this new threshing floor, the floor of the Senate. If the Church, like David, will cry out in united urgency, God may intervene and restrain this healthcare bill that has tax-funded abortion at its very core. An Esther Moment Immediately I changed my plans that morning and flew to Washington DC to fast and pray for 3 days during the Senate debates. In what I believe was a divine appointment, I met with Tony Perkins and some of his staff. There we determined to call the nation to prayer for such a time as this, an Esther moment appealing to the throne of heaven to overrule the thrones of earth. The Hyde Amendment "Now we face not a military crisis but a moral one. Every day thousands of precious unborn lives are lost, and their mothers misused, by the abortion industry. While nearly 50 million unborn children have been destroyed since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, for three decades the Hyde Amendment has prevented federal dollars from going to pay for abortion except in cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother. That could be about to change."

I believe this prayer gathering will be one of the most significant solemn assemblies I have ever been a part of. I believe that if this bill is defeated in the Senate the momentum both governmentally and socially could massively shift pro-life. Life and death hinge on this bill, and we believe that prayer alone can turn the vote on this most important piece of legislation we have seen in decades. A Prayer Convocation Join Tony Perkins and I for a LIVE nationwide video webcast prayer convocation before our holy and omnipotent God. We will be joined by key leaders, including U.S. Senators Sam Brownback of Kansas, Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Congresswomen Mary Fallin of Oklahoma, Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota, Bishop Harry Jackson, Congressman Randy Forbes, and Dr. Jim Garlow.
