FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
35 Years Of A Dream Denied
In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous “I Have A Dream” speech. This address impacted our nation in a profound way. It was a call to fulfill the promise of liberty established in our Declaration of Independence. Dr. King stated, “When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Dr. King complained that America was default on this promise. He stated, “It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’ But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.”
This January 22nd, 2008 will mark the infamous anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. 35 years ago, 7 blacked-robed Supreme Court judges sat as gods amongst us and decriminalized abortion. This treacherous act not only violated God’s law, “Thou Shalt Not Murder,” but established once again an America default in its promise.
For 35 years and counting, America has failed to uphold the right to life for our precious preborn children who are made in the image of God. By framing mischief into law, the Supreme Court in 1973 allowed injustice to raise its ugly head once again. In its judicial arrogance, it turned the American dream into a nightmare for the least amongst us.
For 1/3rd of an entire generation the American Declaration has been reduced to historical words void of meaning. If slavery and segregation exposed the hypocrisy of America’s experiment with liberty, what does the severed limbs, broken bodies, and dismembered torsos of babies reveal to us today? The rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness mean nothing to a dead baby denied the first and most fundamental right, the God-given right to life.
America, this travesty must end! How long will we sit idle while the “bank of justice” for the preborn proves “bankrupt?” How long will we say to our posterity that there are “insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity” to allow you to be welcomed in life and protected by law?
In Dr. King’s day, segregation exposed our national hypocrisy concerning the right to liberty. In our day, abortion reveals our national hypocrisy respecting the right to life. People marched to end segregation and this march is not over. God’s truth must march on to end the injustice of abortion as well. “Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.” Let us therefore commit afresh and anew to make the “dream” come true for all Americans once and for all, the born and preborn!

The Axe Laid to the Root of the Tree
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word (1 Kings 17:1)."
When John the Baptist was unveiled to Israel in the New Testament, God called upon him to take the truth of God’s word like an axe and lay it to the root of Israel’s doubt, unbelief, and rejection of Messiah. God’s word states, “And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire (Matthew 3:10).”
It is interesting to note that Jeremiah the prophet declared that God would use His people as His battle axe. Jeremiah declared, “Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms (Jeremiah 51:20).” The axe God speaks of is not carnal in nature, but a sharp two-edged sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The Apostle Paul declared in 2 Corinthians 10:4, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.”
We are here tonight to discuss the very gates of hell that is manifest in our generation. The abortion industry is nothing more than modern buildings with the state of the art equipment that serves as altars of Baal and Molech. By God’s grace, we are called to wield God’s axe to the roots of this idolatrous tree.
When it comes to child killing, the Lord does not want us to simply prune back the evil fruit this idolatrous tree produces, but to curse it like Jesus did the fig tree, so that it never bears fruit again. In other words, God does not want us to treat symptoms and put band aids on cancer. He wants us to lay hold of His axe and wield it to the very root that nourishes these pagan and demonic practices.
There are two main roots that fuel the fires of Molech that devour children made in the image of God today. The first is obvious; the love of money is the root of all evil. Money can blind the eyes and convince men and women to sell their bodies and souls to the Devil. In this sense the abortion mills are color blind. They don’t necessarily see black, white or brown, but green, green backs that is.
The other root is not so obvious and it does deal with color. There may be many reasons why abortion was established in other nations of the world, but here in America as one studies history it is clear that the root of abortion is racism. I’m not talking about the politically charged racism that racial pimps exploit to fill their coffers and increase their political power. No, this is racism in its most maniacal manifestation. It is a racism that has led to genocide.
Most of you are aware of the writings of the queen of death, Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood. She believed in a philosophy of Eugenics that preached that the white Aryan race was the superior race. Eugenics taught that since there were limited resources in the earth, inferior races could hang around just as long as they didn’t infringe upon those resources. But if they spawned to the point the elites of this world felt threatened, it was the obligation of the superior race to preserve these precious resources by eliminating those they considered a liability or as Sanger called them, “the choking undergrowth.”
Sanger made other outrageous statements like “more from the fit and less from the unfit.” Of course, she was the goddess who determined who was fit or not. She stated, “birth control would lead to a cleaner race.” Thus to eliminate what she considered the inferior races, she first began the “American Birth Control League,” which eventually became known as Planned Parenthood. It was through this infamous organization that she implemented her three-fold plan to eliminate minorities, which was, birth control, sterilization, and eventually abortion.
These are the roots that supply the demonic nourishment that feeds the idolatrous tree of child killing. It behooves us then to put God’s truth, His axe to the root of abortion, which is racism. Let’s put the trumpet to our mouths and sound the alarm amongst our black brothers and sisters. Since they are the ones that were initially targeted by this monster, the spell this wolf in sheep’s clothing has cast over them must be broken. Under the guise of help, Planned Parenthood has killed, stole, and destroyed millions of minorities. Yes, there are whites that have abortions as well, but that is acceptable collateral damage that still feeds the other root, the love of money.
I believe that much of America’s recovery as a nation hinges upon our black brothers and sisters being set free from this liberal demonic agenda that has inspired them to willingly destroy themselves by abortion.
Lastly, several years ago, blacks and whites joined together to march and end the evil of segregation and to live up to our creed that all men are created equal. Today people still march to commemorate the struggle for liberty. Our black brothers and sisters need to know the march is not over. There is still an injustice that has lied to them, stolen from them, and seeks to destroy them. God’s truth must therefore march on till abortion and the culture of death it has produced is vanquished once and for all. Let us pray!
The next day we went to Topeka, KS to participate in a state wide rally to end abortion in their state. The following Proclamation carried the essence of our gathering. Feel free to pass it on and use it at abortion mills defiling and polluting your state.
Proclamation of Repentance and Covenant
Prolife Kansas 2008
Topeka, Kansas
January 22, 2008
O Merciful Father, hallowed be Your name!
We, a remnant of the Church of Kansas, who are called by Your name, now humble ourselves before you. We are praying, seeking Your face and turning from our wicked ways. According to your promise, O Holy One, now hear from heaven, forgive our sin of the shedding of innocent blood, and heal the land of Kansas. [2 Chronicles 7:14]
You alone are our Judge. You alone are our Lawgiver, You alone are our King. You alone can save and deliver us. [Isaiah 33:22]
When Your people, Israel, committed iniquity, You said You would have destroyed them had not Moses stood before you in the breach. We come to you, standing in the breach in the Heartland of America for Kansas, asking you for grace in Your justice and mercy in Your judgments. [Psalm 106:23]
We have mingled with the world and learned their ways. We have served their gods, and they have become a snare to us. We have even sacrificed our sons and daughters to the idols of convenience, wealth, and selfishness, shedding innocent blood. Now the land of Kansas is polluted and defiled with this spilled innocent blood. Therefore, Your wrath is kindled against us. [Psalm 106: 35-40]
We have replaced worship of You, the true living God Almighty, with worship of idols in perverted ways and with inadequate or false things.
Now, O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, we pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Kansas. Because of this sin of ours and of those who came before us, this state is a reproach to all those around us. [Daniel 9:16]
Nevertheless, O Lord, see our present affliction, and hear our cry. Hear Our Cry. HEAR OUR CRY. For the sake of Your people, remember Your everlasting Covenant and relent according to the multitude of Your mercies. Save us, O Lord our God, so we may give thanks to Your holy name, to triumph in Your praise. Our desire is to worship You alone. [Psalm 106:44-47]
We join with untold thousands who are praying this prayer everyday: “Jesus, we plead Your blood over our sins and the sins of our nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.”
Let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
IN KING JESUS’ SERVICE,
