WHISTLE - Letter No 2
14 August, 2008
WHISTLE
- A branch
of HealNZ 24/7 prayer, with a specific focus on prayer regarding abortion in NZ.
- Announcing
"FULL TIME" to abortion in NZ.
- Arranged by Sue Rowe and The Whistle Team,
coordinated from Hamilton.
- "He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, He whistles
for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come swiftly and speedily!" (Is 5:26)
ABORTION - The dates for this 40 day season of prayer and
fasting are from
FRIDAY
10TH OCTOBER to TUESDAY 18TH NOVEMBER
The main reasons for these dates are:
~ Here in Hamilton we are planning a regional Solemn Assembly 10-12 October, and we will
launch the 40 days
at 10am on 10th
day of the 10th month.
From
10pm that day we plan to hold a 10 hour candlelight vigil for the issue of abortion. (see below re number 10)
~ The Lord said: "This
(abortion) is of national importance, our nation is at stake. Like Joel call a holy fast."
He gave the words "Spring, when the kings go to war."
Another member of the Whistle team was given the words,
"Take heed my people, the time is short, there's an urgency." For these reasons we planned it
Oct-Nov.
~ The
USA is focusing on abortion at this time so we can 'ride on their coat tails', spiritually.
~ Lou Engle, USA, whose focus with young people is praying regarding abortion, gave a prophetic
parallel of the book, now movie,
Horton
Hears a Who. This movie has been on in NZ this year. (Horton the elephant with his big ears hears what no one
else can hear, and is prophetic of
the Christian church and their call to hear the voice of the tiny Whos who live in Whoville. Horton's line is "A
person's a person no matter how small".)
~ The Right to Life High Court case has been before the NZ public recently and Parliament
will be considering the Judge's findings.
~ Ian Wishart's book has been printed recently and has a chapter on abortion.
~ The Jewish Day of Atonement,
the most solemn day of their year, is from sundown 9th Oct, to sundown 10th Oct.
~ These dates are before and after
the elections and we can pray for pro-life MPs to be elected who will make changes.
One member of the team felt that to have
made a spiritual stand before the elections was a good thing.
I believe God intends this to be a NATIONAL FAST.
Please pass on this email to others in your sphere of influence.
Let's work at gathering momentum within CHURCHES, within DENOMINATIONS.........now!
One Auckland pastor preached on abortion last Sunday.
Are there any others willing to speak out on what some believe is
the most urgent issue facing the Church in NZ?
10 is the number of law, order, government, restoration, fullness, completeness, deliverance, trial,
testing
tithe (40 days is approx 10% of 365 days - we especially tithe these 40 days to the
Lord. Let's not rob Him. Malachi 3:8-12)
