A Cry for Mercy: Standing for Life in New Orleans

We experienced an unforgettable gathering at Bound4LIFE’s conference in New Orleans. As Pro-life leaders and intercessors from across the nation converged to cry out for mercy, I was moved by the extraordinary sight outside the federal courthouse. The entire front of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals was lined with believers standing in complete silence, red tape over their mouths that said LIFE.

I took the week to really remember the Lord’s work through the years as we have fought abortion. The Lord’s faithfulness filled my heart with fresh faith like when, our son, Moses’ birth was on the exact day abortion ended in Texas, or when I had the privilege of leading worship at IHOPKC the historic hour Roe v. Wade was overturned, or the memories of being with Bound4LIFE’s very first Silent Prayer Siege in Washington, DC when I was 21, and when God whispered to my spirit, “What about the elderly?”as I stood at Bound4LIFE KC’s silent prayer years ago. Telling these testimonies again and again sparked a burning expectation, “Lord, what do You have for us next?”

Cleansing the Mississippi from the Abortion Pill

God called us to worship, repent, and cleanse the water of the Mississippi from the abortion pill

The answer arrived quicker than I expected. God showed one of our elderly intercessors who prays regularly with our lawyer and leader, Allan Parker, President of The Justice Foundation, to pray over the waters of the Mississippi River for cleansing from the the abortion pill. 

On September 8 at 2:00 PM, we gathered on the riverbanks in New Orleans. I led worship while we many to their knees in deep repentance, asking God to forgive our nation, wash our land, and purify the river.

What followed amazed me. The very next day, September 9, the EPA formally announced a nationwide scientific study testing drinking water for pharmaceutical pollutants, and for the first time in history, officially confirmed they will be screening for trace amounts of the abortion pills. To see heaven move federal agencies less than twenty-four hours after we poured out our hearts by the river was a reminder that God answers prayer!

Continued Prayer is Needed

Pray with me for the Fifth Circuit judges. Ask God to turn their hearts toward righteousness and grant them the courage to rule in favor of LIFE. We also urgently need focused intercession for the Trump administration. Because this active litigation is against the FDA, we are believing for God to move on President Trump’s heart to take an uncompromising stand against chemical abortion, reversing reckless policies that allowed dangerous abortion pills to be distributed via virtual appointments and shipped through the mail. As Justice Samuel Alito rightly noted recently, mail-order distribution is a: “Scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson…which restored the right of each State to decide how to regulate abortions within its borders.”

At the end of the case Wednesday I was shocked to hear the abortion pill manufacturer’s lawyers saying”no comment”. That left the narrative wide open for us. The only thing the press could talk about was a bunch of people praying in silence and the stories from Operation Outcry women declaring “the abortion pill hurts women”

This case will ultimately reach the highest court in the land. When it arrives at the Supreme Court, I plan to be on the ground in Washington, D.C., leading worship and interceding on the front lines. Thank you for standing with us in prayer and financial support!

After New Orleans, I spent three days on a mountain in Arkansas to hear the voice of the Lord. It was a wonderful few days. I feel so envisioned from Him for the future!
