We're Not In Kansas Anymore

"I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is "Abortion", because it is a war against the child... A direct killing of the innocent child, "Murder" by the mother herself... And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?”~Mother Teresa

In the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and Toto suddenly find themselves in a bizarre new land strangely altered by the powerful effects of a swift Kansas tornado.  At first, the glamour, glitz and brilliant colors of Oz seem somewhat attractive and seductive.  Surely this is an improvement over the boring, mundane existence of the “black and white” American farm life!  Yet soon it becomes obvious that this yellow brick road of “hope and change” has sinister undertones that lead to evil witches and flying imps. 

Kathleen Sebelius, now serving as Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, originally hails from Kansas.  As Governor, she was described as “the most pro-abortion Governor in the country.”  In 2008, Sebelius vetoed the Comprehensive Abortion Reform Act which, along with other common sense reforms, would have limited late term abortions.  The Catholic Church has sought to disassociate themselves from Sebelius by denying her communion due to her radical pro-abortion views.  Of course, she was well-suited as Obama’s top pick when he began putting together his Cabinet of Czars.  She has spear-headed the Obama”care” HHS mandate which violates religious freedoms and forces employers to participate in the continued wholesale slaughter of innocents. 

Interestingly, the actual geographical center of the continental United States has been identified as Smith County, Kansas.  In fact, one might call it the "dead" center.  So literally, Kansas is ground zero for America’s “heartland.” If Kathleen Sebelius personifies the U.S. heartland, then our heart is sick, possibly in the throes of cardiac arrest. Tragedies such as the horrors in the Gosnell trial are the electrical shocks of self-revelation that will hopefully quicken us before we are declared legally conscience dead. 

In the Texas State Capitol rotunda, the abortion drama was played out in real time on the Internet.  Amid the chants of “Hail Satan” and the flinging of bricks, urine, feces and tampons, Americans are getting an up close and ugly look at this strange new land we’ve entered.  However, a new fervor for Pro-Life positions is spreading like wildfire since the horrific Gosnell revelations.  Let’s fast forward from former Governor Sebelius to the current leadership of Governor Sam Brownback in Kansas.  He recently signed into law one of the most sweeping anti-abortion measures in the country which, amongst many other provisions, declares that life begins “at fertilization.” 

Like the Emerald City, Obama’s false society, where everyone does what is right in their own eyes, has been revealed as nothing more than smoke and mirrors.  Reminiscent of the Scarecrow, the Tin man and the Lion, maybe the things that we desperately seek, we already possessed in our previous, more simple American Judeo-Christian culture--The time before abortion, marriage redefinition and false wizards dangling promises of counterfeit virtues.    

Somewhere, over the LGBT rainbow…where clouds are far behind us and babies are allowed to be born…I hope that’s where we’ll soon find America again.    

I’m clicking my heels together and begging God to let us return once more.  Let’s pray America has the brains, the backbone and the courage to continue down this Renaissance path of Repentance which will lead us full circle. 

When it comes to locating a “city on a hill”, a land of liberty, freedom and independence…

There’s no place like home.

Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop and I don't mind…. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the Promised Land.

~Martin Luther King, Jr.

I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

~Genesis 31:13

Prayer of Repentance:  (submitted by Dr. Glenda Lattimore/Australia)

Lord please keep our hearts pure before You as we read of these sins. Fill our hearts with mercy for "they know not what they do", & we recognise and acknowledge that You laid down Your precious life for ones such as these because You love them so. We know too that we are all equally in sin without Your saving grace and it is not our place to judge these souls. But we join with You Lord in grieving over these sins, & we minister to You in Your grief as our Elohim God, Creator and Giver of all life. 

Dear Heavenly Father, please outpour Your mercy, grace and wisdom for those who already know and love You in Spirit and in Truth, and lead us in Your way in dismantling the labyrinths of Satan in our laws and culture. Thank you. In You alone we trust and hope. We repent for the sins of these lawless ones Lord, and ask that You bind every demonic power & cleanse and redeem us all with the blood of Jesus.

Please turn the hearts of every American and Australian back to You, Lord, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You that Your mercy and lovingkindness endure forever & there is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You. By Your stripes we are healed, & by Your blood captives are set free. Lord Jesus, may the spiritually blind see, the spiritually deaf hear, the spiritually lame walk, & the spiritually dead be resurrected into New Life. And may the saints rise up on eagle's wings for Your glory and honour.

Thank You Jesus!

In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.
