It would kind of be an understatement to point out that today is very different than a year ago. I would like to highlight something extremely encouraging though that has changed for the better. In the past few weeks four separate public polls have been released that surprisingly indicate that the heart of the nation is changing concerning abortion. Gallup, Pew, Rasmussen and Fox have all conducted surveys that indicate that Americans are more pro-life than they were a year ago.
I'd like to specifically highlight the Gallup Poll released last Friday that shows at the beginning of May 2008 50% of Americans identified themselves as pro-choice, and 44% were pro-life. Shockingly and dramatically, the statistics make an immediate sharp reversal. Now a year later 51% of Americans self-identify as PRO-LIFE, and only 42% are pro-choice. This marks the first time that THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE PRO-LIFE.
What could possibly account for this unforseen change?
No doubt there are multiple factors fueling this turnaround. All of them are answers to prayer for the hearts and minds of the nation to change. I'd like to point out a couple of startling facts though that I believe will encourage you.
Last year the Lord led us to mobilize thousands of intercessors to gather for solemn assemblies at every supreme court in America; 51 to be exact. 6,200 Christians gathered for a Silent Siege and worship at every state's supreme court along with the U.S. Supreme Court in DC on the same day at the same time. On April 26th, Passover, we cried out for mercy and pleaded the blood of Jesus over America and our courts. Then following that day we mobilized a team in DC to continue praying in front of the U.S. Supreme Court day and night 24/7 for nearly four months. As summer temperatures soared to 110 degrees intercessors took their stand going up into the gap before the Court.
The statistics show the dramatic reversal coinciding with these two Bound4life events.
I don't believe it's any coincidence, and I know it's answer to prayer. I'm encouraged that these numbers are now supported in multiple ways by multiple polls. A Rasmussen poll shows that a clear majority of Americans now think that abortion is morally wrong most of the time. Let's continue to pray for the nation and our leaders and believe together for a growing MORAL OUTCRY to explode that protects the pre-born and rejects the agenda of death.
Don't forget you can stay in the Bound4LIFE loop.
