Dear IL Coordinators,

Please consider the following.

Our President Obama has declared June, 2009 as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender Pride Month”.     

We are not proud in any way of this sin in our land.  As a ministry friend has
stated “There is nothing gay about being host to a sodomite spirit”.

We are a Nation founded upon Judeo – Christian principles.   
We are a Christian Nation “if” we stand and declare Christ and His Word without
compromise.  Joshua famously stated “as for me and my household, we will
serve the Lord”.

As Pastors, we are encouraging each of you who also serve the body of Christ as
Pastors to proclaim from your pulpits that as Christians, we are not in
agreement with the above proclamation.

We are encouraging each member of the body of Christ to repent, to apply the
blood of Christ to your life and family, and renounce the flaunting of the sins of
homosexuality AND pride in the face of our God Who is Holy, and declaring
release from this proclamation for your personal land and property.  We are in
this world, but not of it!      

Also, each of us should encourage men and women – as voting, tax paying
citizens – (not just as a Christian as it puts you in a box that is too often
ignored) to contact their own congressmen or women and personally express
displeasure and absolute disagreement with the proclamation.  As you recall,
Paul made his case to be heard as a “citizen of Rome”.

If we don’t arise, who will?   If we don’t speak truth, who will?  Isaiah 40:9  ”Get
yourself up on a high mountain, O Zion, bearer of good news, lift up your voice
mightily —- lift it up, do not fear, say — Here is your God”   

We do have good news to release! If we confess our sin, the blood of Christ will
cleanse us of all unrighteousness, and the grace of God has appeared and can &
will teach us what is right and what is wrong!
 
Do not be afraid to speak truth concerning such life or death releasing issues as
this!

Ezekiel 22:30  ”I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall
and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I
found none”.     

Be the man / woman God is looking for.   Build a wall of righteousness round
about your property, your home, your church, your city, your sphere of
influence!   

Make a separation between life and death, and then take a stand praying for the
lost to be saved, redeeming your land where you live and work and worship, and
releasing the light of the knowledge of the glory of our God!

We, Delbra and I, are convinced that if we don’t begin to release the sound of
the Lord, the very rocks will have to cry out and their testimony will be one of
our fears and complacency –

Habakkuk 2:11 – Amp. – “For the stone will cry out of the wall [built in sin, to
accuse you], and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it [agreeing with its
charge against you].”

Romans 8:19 – For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and
longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the
disclosing of their sonship].

As sons and daughters of God in the earth, together we can and will advance
the victory of the King of the Kingdom!   

You are welcome to pass this email along to other Christians, prayer networks,
and ministries.

We love you all,
Pastor Stan Pratt
