TechnoratiIf 600,000 men died on the battlefield of the civil war what will that mean to America if there is the discipline that comes because of the shedding of the blood of 50 million babies, let alone the broken lives of so many millions of women.
We believe we are at a critical moment and this election could redefine the forward movement of judges that could take us back to a law that protects the innocent and the mothers. So that is part of the critical thing we will be praying about.
CP: So will you be praying for a specific candidate or just for the issue of abortion?
Engle: We will not be praying for any candidate or against any candidate. But our declaration is that abortion is not a political issue, it is a moral issue and we are praying that God will raise up candidates that will hold high values on the life of the unborn. And so we will cry out, “Give us judges, give us a candidate, give us a president who will stand for life.” And obviously some of the statements that these candidates have made really are…we are really in a defining moment.
CP: In your opinion, has faith and the moral climate of the nation become worse since TheCall began eight years ago?
Engle: Well, yes…I’ve been watching [on TV] the Mississippi river overflow. The moral levees, which are really the boundaries that bring restraint to moral decline, the levees have broken and the flood has been let loose.
Once you legalize evil, the evil is empowered and it takes ground. Whereas before law restrained evil now it allows it to go unfettered and it begins to be like a flood. So you have right now in California the Supreme Court just legalized homosexual marriage. Well immediately after that you begin to see on your television screen upcoming issues concerning transgender marriage. And the tide will not stop once we open the door.
I believe the death culture have been fueled by the law 1973 Roe v. Wade. What you sow you reap. And what we are beginning to reap is a death culture. From the perspective of God each one of those [babies] are a dream, and he has had 50 million dreams shattered.
This thing is beginning to run out of control and when nations come to this place where there really is no law but it is just freedom – everybody gets freedom to do anything whether it is legalize pornography on down the line.
CP: How will you present the California same-sex marriage ruling to your D.C. TheCall attendees? What will you urge the attendees to pray for?
Engle: In 2002, I was led on an extraordinary season of fasting and prayer for 40 days. At the end of those 40 days, I was speaking in San Francisco of the coming showdown – I was speaking about the Elijah-Jezebel showdown – the homosexual movement and agenda that was coming forward.
At the end of my message a man had come in, the newly elected mayor of San Francisco, at the end of my message the pastor asked him to share something. They asked me to pray for him and I said, “Lord, I thank you that all government is derived from your government. Therefore let this man know that he will be held accountable for everything he does in this city under the government of God.”
I was stunned by this encounter. Now here we are, six years later and he is on the front page of the news saying, “The door is now open. It is inevitable – as California goes, so goes the nation that these homosexual marriages will sweep all across America.” Continue »
