Isaiah 30:18 and Praise Report

As we were doing family devotions tonight, we came across this verse:

"Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:18 (NIV)

I like how the Amplified Bible puts it:

"And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!" Isaiah 30:18 (AMP)

Our God is a God of justice and if we are suppose "to be about our Fathers business/will" how are we living to promote Justice? Are we praying daily for the ending of abortion and the setting free of those bonded? I know that sometimes many a days goes by before I think about injustices. I don't want to be legalistic about it, like I have to pray at a certain time or everyday because of some other reason. I want to do it, because I know that prayer works! Ponder it... Ask the Lord if there is something else you are suppose to be doing to promote Justice.

Praise report about human trafficking, in this report, children were rescued and traffickers arrested, this was posted on CNN!

"A three-day federal crackdown on child prostitution rings across the country has resulted in the recovery of 69 children and the arrest of 884 people, including 99 pimps, federal authorities said Monday.... Child prostitution continues to be a significant problem in our country, as evidenced by the number of children rescued through the continued efforts of our crimes against children task forces," said Shawn Henry, executive assistant director of the FBI's Criminal, Cyber, Response and Service Branch, in a written statement. 'There is no work more important than protecting America's children and freeing them from the cycle of victimization. Through our strategic partnerships with state and local law enforcement agencies, we are able to make a difference.' The city where the most children were recovered was Seattle, Washington, with 16, said FBI Special Agent Jason Pack. Seven pimps were arrested there, he added... So far, those units have recovered 1,250 children, and the initiative has resulted in 438 indictments, 625 convictions, 153 criminal enterprises disrupted and 58 successfully dismantled, authorities said. Convictions have resulted in sentences ranging up to 25-years-to-life and in the seizure of more than $3 million in assets, authorities said....."

Thank you Jesus for shining Your light on injustice, and I believe that is because of prayer!

TheCall Sacramento

“Gather to Me my consecrated ones, who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice . . . call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you” —Psalm 50:5,15

Ten years ago, four hundred thousand primarily young people, the consecrated ones, the Nazirites, gathered to the Mall in D.C. to fast and pray for America. Now, ten years later, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Seismic political, economic, and societal shifts are drastically reshaping California, every state, and the nation. This is the time for a great spiritual outpouring to be unleashed to meet the demand of these times.

God’s prescription in the day of trouble is to regather the consecrated ones to the place of the covenant, the cross, not just to be blessed, but to rend our hearts and call upon God. In that place of united fasting and prayer, God promises to release deliverance and help.

Therefore, we are again summoning thousands of young and old—those who have been marked by TheCall's solemn assemblies and those whose hearts burn for their generation—to gather in Sacramento as consecrated, intercessory representatives from, and on behalf of, California and every state to "altar" their lives, "altar" their states, and "altar" the nation.

Can California be changed? Can a nation be changed? Yes, but only if they are altar-ed!

“Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down . . . then the fire fell.” —1 Kings 18:30, 38

Stop Paying For Slavery Tour- Not for Sale

At the beginning of the year, Manpower and The Not For Sale Campaign joined forces to advance the fight against human trafficking. Manpower is the primary sponsor of the Stop Paying for Slavery Tour. This tour has a particular focus on introducing the next generation of business leaders to supply chain monitoring programs and the power of social entrepreneurship. The partnership aims to raise awareness among businesses, governments and communities with regard to the challenges of exposing and combating human trafficking.

Every coin in your pocket and dollar in your bank has a face value – a precise amount that is listed on your bills and coins. But for every coin and dollar you have there is another, more significant face value. The face of the young boy mining tantalum in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the face of the little girl farming cocoa beans in Cote D’ Ivoire, the face of a father making bricks in India, the face of the mother selling her body in Cambodia. These faces are hidden behind company logos, corporate brands, and even “Made in the USA” tags

Brought to you by our partners at Manpower, Inc., the Not For Sale Campaign’s 2010 “Stop Paying for Slavery Tour” educates corporations and consumers on the true face value of our dollars. Our everyday actions can have monumental repercussions for those in captivity. We will see change once we not only address the supply side of the equation, but also the demand side: the corporations using cotton harvested by small children forced into labor, and the consumers who complicitly purchase the t-shirts.

Each of us has purchasing power that can perpetuate or end the modern-day slave trade. The “Stop Paying for Slavery Tour” will educate, enlighten, and inspire to that end.

Are you ready to join the Movement?

Silent Siege in front of the 2nd largest abortion clinic being build in the World (China has the largest) over 800 people were praying with life tape, for the ending of abortion on MLK holiday.

Olympia Washington Life Alert!

(I received this email the other day)

Dear Washingtonians,

Pregnancy Choices may soon be bound and gagged. All 41 Washington pregnancy center ministries came under attack by Planned Parenthood and NARAL last week when two identical bills,SB 6452 and HB 2837, were read and sent to committee. SB 6452 will take testimony this Wednesday, January 27.


If you are so led (after reading the description of SB 6452in the link provided) we need you to come down to Olympia on Tuesday (26th) for some training and prayer to visit your representatives and stay over for the hearing. Those called to prayer who cannot go, we greatly desire your intercession Wednesday afternoon.
Brief Synopsis of Bills

These bills are designed to falsely define the centers as health clinics and demand certain restrictions which effectively limit our ability to counsel the abortion-minded woman. We are instead Christian ministries using limited medical tools under strict medical guidelines for one purpose: to encourage life, birth and motherhood. There is nothing like us in Washington state that affects physical, emotional and spiritual health in such positive ways in our communities.


These bills are solutions to problems that do not exist and are designed for one thing: to muzzle the centers and increase client numbers for abortions. They instantly and directly violate the First Amendment of the Constitution but can easily become law and they know they have a good chance of passage.

We are bad for the abortion business. The abortion industry has selected WA state as ground zero to test their attempt to silence the key voice of life in a pregnancy crisis. If it wins here, it will roar across the country. This is a serious offense that requires sacrifice.

We have no tax dollars and no big blood money form the abortion mill. But we have the Lord and each other. They have no idea Who they just attacked.

Go to Olympia,pray or do both on the 26th and 27th. Call Pregnancy Choices (360-428-4777) Monday for instructions if you can go. After this hearing, we will be mailing more for you to be informed in talking with your state legislator. You can make a donation to help with these added expenses.

Thank you in His love for the little ones,
George Eusterman

Houston We Have A Problem

The Second largest abortion clinic in the world is being built at this present moment in Houston, Texas. This six-story Planned Parenthood abortion “super center” is right in the middle of four (4) “super neighborhoods.” Three average to 85% Latino in population and the other is 85% African American. Planned Parenthood is targeting these minority pro-family communities, both for their finances and the restriction of their populations. But, there is a voice rising out of Houston and out of Texas, declaring, “We don’t want this death camp specializing in late-term abortions in our neighborhoods!”

On Martin Luther King Jr.’s holiday, January 18th, 2010, thousands are gathering to march against this Goliath to pray, fast, and peacefully siege this massive injustice in the spirit of that great liberator Martin Luther King Jr. Key African American, Latino, and political leaders are coming to speak and hold a nationwide press conference challenging this “super center.” This is a great hour for the Hispanic pro-LIFE people, Catholic and Evangelical, to raise their voices against abortion and for adoption. Public opinion over abortion is shifting radically in America to pro-LIFE at the same time this facility is exalting itself above the humble and oppressed.

We are entering into the 37th anniversary of the “Roe V. Wade” abortion decree of 1973 on January 22, 2010. We are in a ’73/’37 window to reverse that decree. It started in Texas, now let it begin to reverse there. We are calling for the pro-LIFE people of Houston, Texas, and America to gather Sunday night, January 17th, 2010 for four (4) hours of prayer for spiritual awakening and justice, from 6:00pm to 10:00pm at Grace Community Church. On this evening, 1/17, we will be unifying with one voice before God to pray for the Luke 1:17 answer to the killing of our babies and the wounding of our women – “And he will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the rebellious to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

On January 18th, at 9:00am on Martin Luther King Jr.’s holiday, we will gather by the thousands to launch a silent prayer march through the streets to the abortion “super center” for the nationwide press conference and prayer stand. As Martin Luther King Jr. would proclaim it – It is time to “subpoena the conscience” of the nation from the flashpoint of Houston, Texas. Maybe Houston could become the Birmingham of our day to let the unborn go free and spare the pregnant mother the agony of guilt. Maybe out of Houston a great demonstration of compassion could be launched through pregnant mother care with a mass movement of adoption. Martin Luther King Jr. cried, “I have a dream”. Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., has eloquently stated, “How can the dream live as long as we kill our children?” God has a dream. He has a dream for America and He has a dream for every mother and every child and a six-story massive abortion facility has never been a part of that dream. Lets end the nightmare and let the dream live.
