A Letter From Lou Engle
Dear Friends,
As the Texas 2008 Presidential primaries are upon us, we sense a rumble in the heavens. We hear from many prophetic voices about a miracle coming to Texas. The conscience of America is struggling to be heard amid the clashing cymbals of political platitudes and hollow promises of change. True change comes through the forceful prayers of God’s people and when founded on the ancient principles of the Word of God. Those principles fueled the pen of James Madison, author of the American Constitution.
Now once again a people must cry to God for a President who will challenge the status quo of American immorality and valiantly champion two Constitutional Amendments: The Human Life Amendment and the Marriage Amendment. John Newton, the slave trader turned pastor and hymn writer once told a young boy named William Wilberforce in the movie Amazing Grace that he lived in the company of 20,000 Africans whom he sold into slavery, never even knowing their names. We live in the company of 50 million American aborted babies, whose silent cries continually reach heaven. Now is the time to stand in Texas where Roe v. Wade was first conceived and brought forth. Let us not live in this hour before the eyes of CNN and NBC but let us live before the eyes of our Creator who endowed us with certain unalienable rights; among these and foremost is the right to Life.
In January of this year, my prophetic friend of 25 years Chris Berglund had the following dream:
I had a dream regarding March Madness and that there would be madness intensified in the atmosphere over the elections in March. In the dream there was an OT (Overtime) and the (O) stood for Ohio and the (T) for Texas.
I believe there is spiritual warfare going on over these elections, a certain madness if you will. Chris had no idea of the significance that the Texas and Ohio primaries would hold. But if the church will pray and fast, more time could be given even though it looks like all time is out. God does not run His universe through polls and statistics. When earth invokes heaven all bets are off. Haman can be removed in a day and a pro-life Mordecai could experience a sovereign ascendancy. Texas is the lone star state. A young woman in the Scriptures was in an overtime moment, and a death decree hung over her people. She called for three days of fasting and that which looked inevitable suddenly turned. Esther means star and as a lone star her call to fasting broke the death decree.
4 years ago we took TheCall to Dallas, Texas repenting for American Indian injustice with the view that out of that, abortion could end. Stunningly this past week the US Senate passed a bill to officially apologize to the American Indians for covenants that the government had broken with them. I believe that was just a beginning. We must strike, strike, and strike again until Roe v. Wade is overturned. That cannot happen unless a true pro-life President is elected and judges after God’s heart are appointed. Therefore once again we are calling a 3-day fast in Texas for those whose hearts burn over this issue on March 1st-3rd, just prior to the primaries. Esther was in a who knows moment and I believe all of America is in a who knows moment. But if we don’t seize our day I tremble for my country. As Thomas Jefferson, another framer of the Constitution, said “When I consider that God is just, I tremble for my country, for His justice will not sleep forever.”
