Islamic Mosque Built at 9/11 Ground Zero 

Let Us Pray.  Almighty God~ we grieve the new Islamic mosque opening its doors at Ground Zero in New York~ where Muslim terrorists murdered 2~751 civilians in the name of Allah on Sept. 11~ 2001.  The leading imam has reportedly blamed Christians for starting these mass attacks on civilians while celebrating the new mosque to honor the Islamic murderers as heroes.  We pray Psalm 74:18~ “Remember how the enemy has mocked you~ O LORD~ how foolish people have reviled your name?” Do not forget the lives of your afflicted Christian and Jewish people~ in Jesus Name~ Amen.

God draw the murderer to repentance and faith in Christ~ and give courage to legislators to change the law~ in Jesus Name~ Amen.

Ben Nelson compromises on abortion and “health” care

Let us pray.

God help all 50 states opt out~ from Proverbs 6:17~ God hates a lying tongue~ and hands that shed innocent blood~ in Jesus name~ Amen.

Let us pray.  Almighty God~ we praise your for answering our prayer from 30 Sep 09~ and exonerating Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang~ Christian hotel owners in Britain~ who faced criminal prosecution for “religiously aggravated” public disorder and £5~000 fine~ because they defended the Christian faith and criticized Islam in a verbal debate with a Muslim guest in their own hotel.  The Muslim complained to police of being offended by the gospel~ and they couple lost 80% of their customers.  From Psalm 35:23~ God awake and arise to their defense~ contend for them~ and give them full victory~ in Jesus Name~ Amen.

Democrat Senators Vote 54-45 to Fund Child Killing

Let Us Pray.  Almighty God~ strengthen the backbone of Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE)~ who vowed to join a Republican filibuster and stop the entire Senate Health Care bill~ after the Democrat majority voted 54-45 to table Nelson’s semi-pro-life amendment~ that could have de-funded most abortions.  Instead they will fully fund elective abortions with our tax-dollars~ as two RINO Republican Senators Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Susan Collins (R-ME) voted for child-killing.  God call them to repent and stand firm against the entire socialist bill.  From Proverbs 6:17~ God hates hands that shed innocent blood~ in Jesus name~ Amen.

Pastors to Holder: Bible still condemns homosexuality

November 24, 2009 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Pastors to Holder: Bible still condemns homosexuality
November 18, 2009

Bob Unruh — World Net Daily


 
A former U.S. Navy chaplain who was removed from the service after he exercised his right to pray “in Jesus’ name” against the wishes of his chain of command read the biblical condemnation of homosexuality at a rally in front of the U.S. Justice Department to protest the nation’s new “hate crimes” law.

Two weeks ago, President Obama signed into law the “Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act” after Democrats strategically attached it to a “must-pass” $680 billion defense appropriations bill.

The law cracks down on any acts that could be linked to criticism of homosexuality or even the “perception” of homosexuality.

In response, pastors and other Christian leaders gathered yesterday to read from the Bible itself at a rally organized with the help of Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Coalition.

Former Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt of PrayInJesusName.com read from Romans: “And they that commit such things are worthy of death.”

“The government has to invade my thoughts to decide what my motive was in quoting the Bible,” Klingenschmitt explained. “I can be prosecuted if the government thinks my motive was wrong.”

Obama boasted of the “hate crimes” bill when he signed it into law.

“After more than a decade, we’ve passed inclusive hate crimes legislation to help protect our citizens from violence based on what they look like, who they love, how they pray or who they are,” he said.

The rally took place in front of the offices of Attorney General Eric Holder, who supported the bill although he explained it does not protect all people equally. He is charged with enforcing the law.

Cass told WND that the event was to “assert our liberties, to register our concerns.”

“We’re going to press on looking for opportunities to challenge the law on its face,” he said.

…

“If this law is used to silence me or any of these preachers for speaking the truth, then we will be forced to conscientiously defy it,” Rick Scarborough, president of Vision America, declared. “That is my calling as a Christian and my right as an American citizen.”

Cass said, “We believe this is the biggest threat to religious free speech in the history of the United States.”

Also attending was Paul Diamond of the Christian Legal Center in the United Kingdom, where “hate crimes” laws already have been in effect.

He noted a judge has concluded since Christianity is a “discriminatory” religion, employers were not obligated to hire “Christians.”

Other leaders at the rally were Bishop E.W. Jackson of Staying True to America’s National Destiny, J. Grace Harley of Jesus is the Answer Ministries, Janet Porter of Faith2Action, Michael Marcavage and Linda Beckman of “Philadelphia 11” and Repent America, Paul Blair of Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ, Matt Barber of Liberty Council, Jim Garlow of California Pastor’s Rapid Response Network, Pat Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, Scott Lively of Defend the Family, C.S. Cooley of Church of God in Christ and Pierre Bynum of Family Research Council.

Porter wrote in a column, “Rick Scarborough spoke for all of us when he said, ‘This is a sad day for America. While a small minority of homosexual activists are celebrating, thousands of pastors, priests and rabbis are lamenting their loss of First Amendment freedoms. I for one refuse to bow before this unjust and unconstitutional law, and I intend to continue to preach the whole counsel of God as revealed in the scriptures.'”

“But this law doesn’t just affect pastors; it will criminalize the beliefs of millions of ordinary people who may now be afraid to speak even their pro-marriage positions lest it spark a federal ‘hate crime’ investigation,” Porter wrote.

[…]

 

“This is the way it gets implemented in all the other countries,” Cass said. “Christians are singled out for prosecution, with threats, imprisonment and fines simply for refusing to stop doing what Christ commands: proclaiming the truth.”

“[These cases] are a good precursor of where this goes,” he warned.

The bill signed by Obama was opposed by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which called it a “menace” to civil liberties. The commission argued the law allows federal authorities to bring charges against individuals even if they’ve already been cleared in a state court.

A supporter of the hate crimes plan was quoted saying, “The federal hate crimes bill serves as a vital safety valve in case a state hate-crimes prosecution fails.”

Holder himself has suggested the law can be used to prosecute cases in which state prosecutors don’t file charges because of a lack of evidence.

The Alliance Defense Fund earlier issued an analysis calling the proposal a “grave threat” to the First Amendment.

Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley explained it “provides special penalties based on what people think, feel, or believe.

“ADF has clearly seen the evidence of where ‘hate crimes’ legislation leads when it has been tried around the world: It paves the way for the criminalization of speech that is not deemed ‘politically correct,'” Stanley explained. “‘Hate crimes’ laws fly in the face of the underlying purpose of the First Amendment, which was designed specifically to protect unpopular speech.”

The ADF analysis said, “The emotion of hate is an unfortunate reality of the human experience. But it is not a crime unless accompanied by a criminal action – and even then it is the action that is within the police power of the government, not the emotion. The reality is that ‘hate’ crime laws are designed to punish people for what they think, feel, or believe. The crime itself that is committed is already punished under various federal and state criminal laws. The only thing added … is punishment for what a person thinks, feels, or believes. That intent is diametrically opposed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“While we do not advocate crime and violence, the real issue behind the ‘hate’ crimes law is its punishment of thought and belief and the imposition of a political orthodoxy on people of faith,” the analysis said.

“There is a legitimate concern that once Congress makes any ‘hate’ crime a federal offense, the categories of crime will expand to include speech that causes someone to ‘feel’ intimidated, just as they have in other places such as Australia, Canada, and Sweden,” it continued.

Reid speeds confirmation of anti-Jesus, pro-abortion judge

November 24, 2009 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Reid speeds confirmation of anti-Jesus, pro-abortion judge
November 12, 2009

Chelsea Schilling — World Net Daily
 


Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced his plans to move forward as early as Monday with a confirmation vote on the pro-abortion appeals court nominee who ruled against praying “in Jesus’ name” on the floor of the Indiana Legislature.

Reid said he plans to pursue a cloture process that would force a Senate vote on U.S. District Court Judge David Hamilton’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit if 60 senators vote for cloture.

Republicans have attempted to block a vote on Hamilton’s nomination. Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., called for a filibuster in April and May. Sessions recently sent a letter to several Republican legislators in opposition to Hamilton, warning that in more than a few instances, he “has used his position as a district court judge to drive a political agenda.”

Sessions said Hamilton declared in a 2003 speech that a judge’s primary job is “write footnotes in the Constitution” and said he believes “empathy” should sway a judge’s decisions.

“This view evidences an activist judicial philosophy,” Sessions warned. “Judges are not given the power to amend the Constitution or write footnotes to it.”

[…]

Sessions noted that Hamilton denied a rabbi’s plea to have a menorah as part of the Indianapolis Municipal Building holiday display in 1994. The 7th Circuit unanimously reversed the decision.

Also, in 2003, Hamilton struck down an Indiana informed consent law requiring women to receive information about risks and alternatives to abortion in the presence of a physician or nurse 18 hours before the procedure. Hamilton said the provision imposed an “undue burden” on women. His ruling was later dismissed by a panel of the 7th Circuit after appeal.

“In reversing, the 7th Circuit noted that Judge Hamilton had abused his judicial discretion,” Sessions wrote.

Hamilton made yet another controversial ruling in the 2005 case Hinrichs v. Bosma. He ruled that the speaker of Indiana’s House of Representatives could not allow “sectarian” prayers as part of its official proceedings. He said prayers that use “Christ’s name or title” are sectarian, but he ruled in a post-judgment motion that it’s not sectarian for a Muslim imam to offer a prayer to “Allah.” In the post-judgment motion, he wrote:

The Arabic word ‘Allah’ is used for ‘God’ in Arabic translations of Jewish and Christian scriptures. If those offering prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives choose to use the Arabic Allah, the Spanish Dios, the German Gott, the French Dieu, the Swedish Gud, the Greek Theos, the Hebrew Elohim, the Italian Dio, or any other language’s terms in addressing the God who is focus of the non-sectarian prayers … the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others. … Prayers are sectarian in the Christian tradition when they proclaim or otherwise communicate the beliefs that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, or the Savior, or that he was resurrected or that he will return on Judgment Day or is otherwise divine.

In the 2007 case United States v. Rinehart, Hamilton requested clemency for a 32-year-old police officer who pled guilty to two counts of child pornography. The officer said he had “consensual” sex with two teenagers and videotaped the incidents.

In 2008, Hamilton issued a ruling against a law requiring sex offenders to release personal information such as e-mail addresses and screen names, and to submit to regular search warrants.

Hamilton, a Yale graduate, served as vice president for litigation and a board member of the Indiana branch of the ACLU prior to becoming a federal judge. He also previously worked as a door-to-door fundraiser for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, a community organizing group currently riddled in scandal.

The White House has characterized Hamilton as a moderate pick.

“Judge Hamilton has a long and impressive record of service and a history of handing down fair and judicious decisions,” Obama said in a March 17 statement when he announced Hamilton as his first judicial appointment. “He will be a thoughtful and distinguished addition to the 7th Circuit.”

However, Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt of the Pray in Jesus Name Project is urging Americans to sign and fax petitions to all U.S. senators urging them to filibuster and defeat Hamilton’s nomination.

“This is not the type of service that should be rewarded with promotion,” Sessions wrote. “Indeed, this is one of those extraordinary circumstances where the president should be informed that his nominee is not qualified.”

Pastors Gather for Freedom of Speech

November 24, 2009 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Pastors Gather for Freedom of Speech
November 17, 2009

Paul Strand — CBN News


 

WASHINGTON – It has been less than a month since President Obama signed the hate crimes bill to extend protection to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Americans– yet more pastors are growing concerned about the new laws.

Religious and legal leaders gathered in Washington, D.C. to protest, Monday, fearing the legislation will restrict what can be preached from the pulpit.

The protestors gathered in front of the Justice Department say Christians’ right to speak the Gospel are now threatened like never before.

That is because a hate crimes law meant to protect homosexuals could someday be used to silence sermons and even the reading of scriptures that condemn homosexuality.

Dr. Gary Cass helped organize the protest.

“Those scriptures are already illegal in some countries that have hate crime laws,” said Cass. “Canada being the closest. So we know where hate crime legislation leads. As we’ve said: it’s not hate crimes, it’s hate Christians. Because it’s Christians who are actually on the receiving end of the prosecution of these laws.”

Roughly a dozen pastors and heads of religious rights organizations led the protest [including Chaplain Klingenschmitt].

[…]

Paul Diamond says British Christians have been arrested when they are the ones who been violently attacked.

“We have Christians attacked for evangelism and they are arrested for inciting their own attack,” said Diamond. “Sometimes the attacks are brought by sick members of the public, sometimes by individual homosexuals.”

Backers of the law say it is only supposed to affect those who commit acts of violence against a member of a protected group like homosexuals.

But Dr. Cass says actually the law can be used to prosecute those who in any way incite that violence.

“Somebody could listen to a minister on any given Sunday, and the minister would have to know what’s in that person’s mind and what that person might do in the future,” said Cass. “And if that person went out and committed a hate crime, the minister would be as guilty as the person who actually perpetrates the crime. And that’s unprecedented in American history.”

And Barrister Diamond warns some in Britain now see preachers as more dangerous than those who commit violent acts against a minority.

“Many people are arguing now in the universities that speech is worse than violence,” Diamond added. “That it encourages stereotypical views, it incites discrimination”

Now the protesting pastors say they don’t hate homosexuals and they would never commit an act of violence against them. But they say if it becomes a crime to preach the Gospel, that is a crime they are always going to be willing to commit.

God Squad Tries, Fails to Get Arrested at Holder's Front Door

November 24, 2009 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

God Squad Tries, Fails to Get Arrested at Holder’s Front Door
November 17, 2009

Lydia DePillis — The New Republic


 
On an Indian summer afternoon in front of the Justice Department yesterday, a group of dark-suited ministers gathered to protest recently-passed hate crimes legislation, saying it had had a “chilling effect” on religious freedom.

“We will not be bullied!” cried Reverend Pat Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, to a rank of cameras. “We will not be pressured! We will not go silently into the night!”

A black-clad traveling minister from Colorado Springs, Chaplain Klingenschmitt, upped the ante with a press release containing some choice anti-gay Bible verses and a challenge to arrest him for saying that homosexuals are “worthy of death.” “That does not mean that I am going to take action, or that I believe anyone should take action in that way,” he explained, calling the Matthew Shepard Act a “thought-crimes bill.” “My intention is the free exercise of religion. What other peoples’ intention is is up to them.”

Try as they might to pull a Cindy Sheehan, however, no federal sledgehammer descended. The police watched quietly from the perimeter as ministers decried homosexuality as an “abomination,” intervening only to clear gay rights activists off a concrete rise behind the podium (officers confirmed that there was not, in fact, anything the clergymen could have said to get themselves arrested—the act contains explicit protections for religious speech). Still, the ministers pressed on, undaunted by law enforcement’s refusal to persecute them. They hold tight to the belief that the anti-Christian crackdown is coming, because it’s happened before. Michael Marcavage, a young, green-eyed minister hugging a leatherbound Bible to his chest, has lived it.

“It was a public celebration of sin,” he started, referring to Philadelphia’s OutFest in 2004, which he and ten others protested with bullhorns and signs. “That’s exactly what was taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in what they call the ‘gayborhood.’

“Yeeaah,” said a gay rights activist appreciatively.

“We ultimately were met by a militant group of homosexuals,” Marcavage continued. “And these homosexuals had locked arms. And as they locked arms, they prevented us from walking freely down the public sidewalk.” Then, he brought up a fellow crusader—a bowed, graying grandmother named Linda Beckman—to finish the story of how the “Philadelphia Eleven” were arrested, how cold the cell had been, how hard the concrete bench. They were charged with three felonies and five misdemeanors, all of which were dismissed. “We have to stand,” she said in a high, clear voice. “Christians, we have to stand.”

The ministers were there to defend the rights of those who would preach hate, and go to jail if necessary. At some point, they granted in a media Q&A, they might even seek a test case to challenge hate crimes legislation in court. But this, apparently, was not the time. What was billed as a challenge became something more benign: the ministers spent more time trying to convince the gathered gay rights activsts that anything they might say was only out of love—and, well, no one was ever going to arrest them for that.

“As pastors, we do not want people to self-destruct,” preached Pastor Jim Garlow of San Diego, a leader of the Proposition 8 campaign in California. “We care deeply about people, so consequently, we try to urge people not to make lifestyle choices that will ultimately bring them harm. Had people listened to our plea, there would be tens of thousands of people who would not have died of a dreaded disease.”

[…]

“They’re pretty set in their belief systems,” said Pastor Paul Blair of Reclaim Oklahoma for Christ, a towering former NFL player, of his discussion with a bisexual man and a girl holding a rainbow flag. “We had a pleasant conversation with them, but, different worldview.”

The press conference ended with prayer, during which the ministers joined hands and bowed their heads—but the case still had to be made. “Lord, we pray for the homosexual community today,” began Pierre Bynum of the Family Research Council, his eyes closed. “We pray that there will be fewer hate crimes. Lord, according to statistics, there are very very few, anyway there are more homosexual against homosexual crimes than there are crimes by heterosexuals against homosexuals.”

Following the prayer, the band of students had a few minutes of their own at the podium, rebutting the arguments of the last hour and a half by the grace of the podium’s owner (he had donated his profits to a local gay rights organization when he learned the nature of the group that had rented his equipment). The opponents parted amicably.

“What’s your name?” Pastor Rick Scarborough of Vision America asked their speaker, 22-year-old David Valk.

“David,” he replied.

“Well, God bless you David,” Scarborough said.

“God bless you!”

Petition to God to save Mikey Weinstein's soul

November 23, 2009 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

To add your “AMEN” to this simple prayer~ please sign the

FREE PETITION far below~ being careful not to

make any statements that you don’t want investigated or

admitted into our court proceeding.

PLEASE SIGN THE PRAYER AND PETITION TO GOD~ FAR BELOW~ TO SAVE THE SOUL OF ANTI-CHRISTIAN ACTIVIST MIKEY WEINSTEIN~ AND CONVERT HIM TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
 

Anti-Jesus activist sues Chaplain for

praying Psalm 109 to God

Anti-Christian activist Mikey Weinstein has filed a lawsuit against Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt of the Colorado-based The Pray In Jesus Name Project in a Texas courtroom~ and against the Chaplaincy of Full Gospel Churches who endorsed Chaplain Klingenschmitt for military chaplaincy.

Mr. Weinstein’s lawsuit accuses Chaplain Klingenschmitt of “terrorism” and “hate” speech and “conspiracy to commit violence” because the chaplain only prayed to God in response to Mr. Weinstein’s previous attacks~ and the Chaplain quoted “illegal” Bible verses during his prayers to God.  A copy of the Chaplain’s “terrorist” prayer to God from 25 Apr 09~ in which he merely quotes verbatim King David’s Psalm 109 without embellishment~ is here.

Ironically~ Chaplain Klingenschmitt recently appeared on The 700 Club (watch video on left <—)  defending the rights of pastors across America to quote “illegal” Bible verses in public without fear of government prosecution.  The Chaplain now faces “hate speech” accusations and a court-room trial for the “crime” of quoting the Bible in a public prayer~ an act nearly identical to those religious expressions recently made illegal by the Obama Administration~ which the Chaplain warned could become illegal when submitting 400~000 fax petitions to Congress against the “Hate Crimes” law that punishes free speech.  This new trial is the second time Chaplain Klingenschmitt has been hauled into court because of his public prayers~ after facing court-martial in 2006 for praying “in Jesus name” in uniform as a Navy Chaplain~ but later being vindicated by Congress.

PLEASE SELECT HERE TO DONATE.  THE CHAPLAIN NEEDS $450 FOR HIS LAWYER’S TRAVEL EXPENSES~ AND ANOTHER $325 TO REIMBURSE HIS OWN AIRFARE TO THE RECENT “HATE CRIMES” PRESS CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON DC (WATCH VIDEO <— LEFT).   PLEASE DONATE HERE.  GIFTS BEFORE 31 DEC 09 ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE IN 2009!

Contrary to Mr. Weinstein’s new defamatory allegations~ Chaplain Klingenschmitt did not “curse” Mr. Weinstein~ in fact the Chaplain prayed the opposite~ saying “We bless them~ but they curse us~” as you can read in the 25 Apr 09 prayer.

Contrary to any allegations~ the Chaplain did not initiate anything with Mr. Weinstein~ he only prayed Psalm 109 after and because Mr. Weinstein first issued defamatory press releases condemning the Chaplain.  Mr. Weinstein later threatened physical violence~ saying he “would like to beat the [expletive] out of [the Chaplain] in a boxing ring or in an alley behind Safeway~” as reported on the front page of the Dallas Morning News.

Contrary to Mr. Weinstein’s defamatory allegations~ the Chaplain did not pray for “death” or “violence” of anyone~ (those words are Mr. Weinstein’s embellishments)~ the Chaplain merely prayed God would defend him against Mr. Weinstein’s attacks~ by quoting verbatim the words of King David in Psalm 109~ as you can read in the prayer.

In response to Chaplain Klingenschmitt’s “terrorist” act of prayer~ Mr. Weinstein filed this lawsuit with requests to the government to 1) stop the Chaplain from praying such prayers to God~ or 2) punish him for a “hate” crime of publicly quoting the Bible~ or 3) to stop the Chaplain from quoting “illegal” Bible verses like Psalm 109 during his prayers to God.  The Texas Judge is literally being asked to rule that the court has jurisdiction over the content of the Chaplain’s prayers to God.

Ironically the lawsuit questions if Chaplain Klingenschmitt is anti-Semitic~ when the Chaplain has received accolades from Jewish groups including the Anti-Defamation League~ the Jewish Welfare Board~ the Jewish Week newspaper~ and an Orthodox Jewish Sailor with whom he served in the Navy.  Mr. Weinstein now runs the risk of appearing anti-Semitic himself~ by suing the Chaplain for praying a Jewish prayer written by King David of Israel.  His lawsuit admits such prayers are common to both Christian and Jewish faiths~ but should be punished as illegal speech.

This lawsuit is just one of many which Mr. Weinstein has filed against Christians~ and to our knowledge~ his anti-Christian efforts have met with repeated failure.

In 2005~ Mr. Weinstein sued the Air Force Academy because chaplains quoted the Bible in chapel and cadets and officers dared to talk publicly about their faith in Jesus Christ.  He lost and the evangelical chaplains and cadets were vindicated.

In 2009~ Mr. Weinstein filed a formal IG complaint against an Air Force Colonel because she sent an inspirational email to 3~000 subordinates.  He lost and the Colonel was cleared of any wrongdoing.

In 2009~ Mr. Weinstein demanded the Army court-martial the Chief of Army Chaplains because that two-star General issued a proclamation calling for a day of prayer and fasting for our troops.  He lost and the Christian Chaplain’s effort to pray and fast for our troops were supported by two Jewish chaplains.

Also in 2009~ Mr. Weinstein demanded the Army court-martial a chaplain in Iraq who dared to quote Matthew 28:19 in church~ encouraging voluntary evangelism and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He lost and the Chaplain was vindicated~ but the Pentagon seized and burned the Soldiers privately owned Christian Bibles out of fear of offending atheist complainers like Mr. Weinsten.

Now in 2009~ Mr. Weinstein is suing Chaplain Klingenschmitt for quoting Psalm 109 in his prayers to God.  Christian Attorney Stephen Casey of Texas~ who is also running for office to become the next Texas State Representative from House District 52~ is defending the Chaplain pro-bono.  The Rutherford Institute is defending the Chaplaincy of Full Gospel Churches pro-bono~ and has issued a public statement.

We pray Mr. Weinstein loses this frivolous lawsuit~ but more importantly we pray he gains eternal salvation through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.  To add your “AMEN” to our simple new prayer~ please sign the free petition below~ being careful not to write any comments that you don’t want investigated or admitted into our court proceeding.

Please do not make any effort to contact~ harrass~ or communicate with Mr. Weinstein or his family in any way~ and for God’s sake don’t commit any violence toward anyone.  When George Tiller was killed~ we immediately condemned any and all vigilante acts of violence. “Do not take revenge~ my friends~ but leave room for God’s wrath~ for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay~’ says the Lord.”  (Romans 12:19~ NIV)

We ask only that you please join us to pray for Christian liberty~ and for the salvation of Mr. Weinstein who hates Jesus Christ so vehemently that he has repeatedly sued and threatened lawsuits against anyone who prays in public or talks about Jesus in public~ especially Christian members of our military.

A PRAYER TO ALMIGHTY GOD:

Almighty God:

We the undersigned~ respectfully petition you save the soul of Anti-Christian

Activist Mikey Weinstein~who has repeatedly sued or threatened Christians

because they pray in public or talk about Jesus Christ in public~ or quote the

Bible in church or during prayers.  God we pray specifically that you give Mikey

an encounter like you gave Saul in Acts 9:

“And he fell to the earth~ and heard a voice saying unto him~

Saul~ Saul~ why persecutest thou me?

And he said~ Who art thou~ Lord? And the Lord said~ I am

Jesus whom thou persecutest:

it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

And he trembling and astonished said~ Lord~ what wilt thou

have me to do?

….And [Saul saw] a vision a man named Ananias coming in~

and putting his hand on him~ that he might receive his sight.

…And Ananias…putting his hands on him said~ Brother Saul~ the Lord~

even Jesus~ that appeared unto thee…hath sent me~

that thou mightest receive thy sight~ and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales:

and he received sight forthwith~ and arose~ and was baptized.

…and straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues~ that he is

the Son of God.”

God we pray today for Mikey Weinstein’s forgiveness and

conversion to faith in Jesus Christ~

in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
