“But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Matt 17:21
Huskers will play 12 games this season and maybe 2 more if you count a red-white game and a bowl game. That adds up to 14 games. Now just for a math project imagine these were 14 games played at the Husker stadium in Lincoln and they filled the present stadium to capacity; a total of 81,000 spectators. Let’s now come up with the total attendance: 14 x 81,000 = 1,134,000 people. Now that is a lot of people in attendance!! The mind boggling and rather depressing fact is that this is just a little under the number of people, babies in the womb, our country records killing every year through surgical abortions. And by the way, Planned Parenthood is the nation’s number one abortion provider. From 1970 to 2010 PP reported performing 5,649,048 abortions. Folks, the numbers are staggering but they get worse.
There is truth in the statement that, “All of history is changed based on our sexual decisions". Now, I do not want the Big Red stadium to be now a symbol of the dead, but rather to act as an illustration to motivate each of us in Nebraska to support life by opposing Planned Parenthood establishing more abortions mills here.
Starting next Wednesday, September 26, and extending till November 4 many communities will be entering a 40 day period of prayer and fasting centered around the issue of the sanctity of life. Christ taught us that some evils can only be driven out by combining prayer with fasting and down through the ages there have been significant breakthroughs when this has been adopted. I would encourage you to consider how you might sacrifice to express your concern for our state and our nation. Since the 1960’s we have entered a time of silent genocide in our land. Just the surgical abortion business alone records 50,000,000 abortions since our government legalized it 40 years ago. Please pray and consider fasting; our country’s future is at stake. Let’s pray for an end to abortion and for a culture that values life no matter who is President.
