Pro-Life and The Prayer Movement: Where to Now?

Please read this post on a blog called Brandon and Beka "The Election Recap and Where the Pro-Life Movement Goes From Here".  It includes much of what Lou Engle spoke at IHOP-KC this Sunday.  Also, read my comment.  I was rather suprised by what I wrote.  Well I'll just copy it below, but read Lou's words on the link above too.

Thanks for posting this.

I too feel that adoptions of the unwanted children must be a top priority among the praying church. What else are we here for if we forget to pray and take care of the children? Children are being left dead in dumpsters and those who are rescued could be a powerful voice to stand vehemently against abortion in the next generation. Those that are adopted by gay couples will without God's intervention grow up to stand on issues opposed to Christian beliefs.

We cannot continue to call for responsible adults to change their minds when we do nothing to rescue the impressionable vulnerable children who are crying out for love and find neglect. These very children will be the carriers of the voice of God if we train them in Christ's love.

The House of Prayer movement MUST become a worldwide "orphanage" that not only feeds, cares and nurtures the children, but trains them in the calling of prophetic intercession and the forerunner lifestyle.

We need to repent of the view that raising children is a burden infringing on our free time. We are rescuing our next generation and our own future.

A call to intercessors: how many children can you rescue and train up to be worshippers, both your biological children, adopted children, and those young around you who are in your sphere of influence?

While Obama's rule will not end abortion, we must not wait and do nothing. We must pray, speak out, write and URGENTLY we must begin to open our eyes and search out creative ways to adopt and rescue the next generation.

Bless you.

Thanks again for posting Lou Engle's words.
