Father Abba, we take authority against the effort of this wicked regime to prevent abortion and circumvent the authority of the states. We profess that Veterans will be prevented from aborting their babies in the powerful name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We profess for a complete end of abortion in all the States in Jesus Glorious and Powerful Name! Amen! So let it be! RQB!
Amen.
God of Truth, God of grace and mercy, send forth Your angels to protect babies. Send forth Holy Spirit to convict people of ungodly ways. Father, our Federal Government seems to be showing no respect for state laws. It seems that the Federal Government has too much power. Extinguish the overreach. May the fear of the Lord fall upon all of us and all of those who oppose Your ways, O LORD of Hosts. Amen.
