Today the brand new Bound4Life chapter in Washington state launchedour first silent prayer siege at Planned Parenthood (an abortion clinic) in Lynnwood, WA. For those of you who are not familiar with what Bound4Life and the silent prayer siege, check out www.bound4life.com for all the info. What we are doing is basically standing in front of an abortion clinic with the red LIFE tape on our mouth, to engage in silent prayer to God for the unborn babies to be saved, and for God to end abortion in America. We are repenting for the sins of abortion in America, the shedding of innocent blood of over 50 million babies over the past 40 years. The Bible states clearly that at anytime innocent blood is being shed in the land, God's justice requires judgment. We are pleading for the blood of Jesus to cover this serious iniquity, and repenting on behalf of our nation, and for mercy to triumph over judgment.
Believers across America are praying for this, for the end of abortion in the US, and over the past 5 years we have seen significant progress and hope. There are reasons to believe that the law that legalizes abortion could be overturned in our government soon. Please unite with us in prayer for this to happen.
We had a greater turnout than expected (I think 20+), and overall the prayer time (not a protest, but intercession) was a success! Praise the Lord! Some in our group even experienced the manifested presence of God with them as they prayed. Interestingly, right next door to the abortion clinic complex, was a restaurant which displayed the words "Love and Honor God." (see photo) I felt that it was an encouragement to us, and that what we were doing were exactly that, expressing our love and honor to our Savior, by taking a step of faith to launch out to pray for justice and mercy in our land. Others in our group also took more photos, and many of them will be uploaded to the new "Bound4Life WA" website that is being launched right now. I hope that these pictures will encourage and inspire you also to pray fervently for the unborn, for LIFE and the end of abortion in our nation.
This was not the first time I've done a prayer siege or prayed outside of an abortion clinic with other believers. A couple years ago I went up to the Justice House of Prayer (www.jhop.org) in Washington DC and was able to participate in several "silent prayer sieges" in front of the United States Supreme Court. I had also prayed with groups in front of an abortion clinic in Seattle, as a part of "40 Days for Life," another national LIFE prayer movement (see info below).
For those of you in the local Seattle region, if you are interested in getting involved with the local Bound4Life chapter, and come out to future prayer sieges, just let me know. There are also Bound4Life chapters all across the US, and so if you would like to get involved in one in your city, just check their website for listings. There is also another powerful LIFE prayer movement going on right now, that is praying in front of abortion clinic nationwide, it is called "40 Days for Life." (www.40daysforlife.com) And it is uniting Christians from all church backgrounds to pray for LIFE and the end of abortion. So you can check that out as well. I was a part of the local Seattle 40 Days for Life last year and it was a powerful experience in the Lord.
Today was just another step towards LIFE and justice and mercy in America. I believe that a breakthrough from the LORD is coming!
