 Obama Has Declared a Spiritual War on Our Land
From the Desk of: Penny Young Nance, Chief Executive Officer and President

We are engaged in a spiritual battle for our nation, our freedom and our families. Only days ago the Obama administration spat in the face of believers across the land when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius finalized a regulation forcing people of faith to pay for and promote birth-control, sterilization and early-term “Morning After” abortions through ObamaCare. With his Abortion Mandate ruling, the Obama administration has declared war on religious liberty. So aside from this aggressive governmental intrusion into our lives, and undermining our religious liberty and freedom by forcing us to act against our faith, Obama’s mandate now classifies pregnancy as a disease! There should be no doubt that we are in the fight of our lives -- a fight that goes far beyond flesh and blood. This is a darkly spiritual battle of epic proportions that demands people of faith be on their knees -- praying for the very soul of our nation! From earliest beginnings of our nation, prayer has played a vital role. A trip to the Rotunda of our Capitol confirms this. There one comes face-to-face with massive oil paintings depicting key events in our nation’s history. The very first in this series is called the “embarkation of the Pilgrims,” ant it feature a scene from the deck of the Speedwell as the pilgrims cried out to God at the start of their voyage. These aggressive government attacks on our religious freedom, should serve as a reminder to us that we need to be on our faces before the Lord -- lifting up our leaders, our nation, and asking for His intervention. Of course I know many people who feel uncomfortable in a “prayer warrior” role. I understand that a relatively small remnant of believers will stand in the gap for our nation during this time, and that’s okay. The Bible is filled with stories of regular people, and small groups doing amazing things with God’s anointing. The Old Testament story of Gideon immediately comes to mind. You may recall that God chose Gideon to lead the Israelites into battle. Gideon was terrified, but he made himself available to the greatness of God, and with an underwhelming army of just 300, Gideon defeated the formidable and frightening Midianites! That's precisely why I'm writing to you today ... I want to give you a free prayer guide featuring seven cornerstone prayer principles to guide you in your prayers for our nation. If you make yourself available to the Lord by praying for our nation I will rush you CWA’s If My People: 7 Principles for Prayer in 2012 resource to help guide you in your prayer efforts.
