Dear Friends,
Please read this response I have written to the decision by California’s Supreme Court to allow same-sex marriage. As I have consulted with other leaders in the Reformation Prayer Network regarding our response to this decision, I for one have made a decision--I will not be silent! Each of us has a sphere of influence and we must use it. Let's pray that the Supreme Court’s decision will boomerang back against the issue of same-sex marriage and become the catalyst for Defense of Marriage Acts in all 50 States.
Today in the United States of America, sociological judicial activism has reached its peak after the 4 to 3 decision by California’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. This, in the natural, is a great blow to all who have prayed and believed God to heal our land.
As I spoke to the leader of the Reformation Prayer Network in California, we were inspired by the Holy Spirit to ask God for divine wisdom for this ruling to be a catalyst for judicial reform. What do I mean? Enough is enough--the line in the sand has been drawn.
As Christians, we cannot stand by idly and watch our nation be pulled into the place where God's judgment will be released from heaven. The ramifications of this ruling are huge for our nation as a whole.
Just as the Stamp Act before the American Revolution was the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back", so we are crying out to God that this court ruling will be the deathblow for judicial activism along a social agenda.
It is time for moral activism. When the laws of man break the laws of God, we ought to obey God. This is that case and this is that day. The die has been cast. Let this ruling by the California Supreme Court wake up the sleeping giant of the church.
I believe that we need to stand and believe for two things:
- The God of creation, Himself, will intervene to show this nation that the judges’ decision in favor of homosexual marriage cannot subvert the laws of God.
- Believe God that those who did this atrocity will be impeached or recalled.
Strong words? Yes, they are! The soul of our nation is in the balance. We must not fail.
Looking backwards and learning from history, we see that prayer and Bible-reading were taken out of school in the midst of one of the greatest moves of God our nation has ever known. Right now, in America, many churches are experiencing historic visitations from the Lord. While we all want these moves to continue, if they simply bless the church while leaving society unchanged, we will have failed as kingdom believers.
This was why I wrote my new book, The Reformation Manifesto, with a burning passion for this nation. Prophetically, many others and I could see this day coming and the need to be a voice crying out in the wilderness to bring our nation back to God.
Join with us in the US Reformation Prayer Network (USRPN) as we develop a prayer strategy for every state government. Mike and I formed this network in January 2008 with a mandate to develop a prayer structure for seven major societal institutions, and we are putting the nation on alert along with many other prayer networks. We need to have watchmen on the wall. To receive prayer alerts from the USRPN, sign up here. God has given me a prophetic word on this ruling, so check out www.generals.org today to view the video. It is time to raise up an army of prayer warriors to fight not only for our generation, but for the generations to come.
Warring for the soul of a nation,
Cindy Jacobs
