the ending of abortion in America began. Every day, JHOPers will stand before the Supreme Court with red "LIFE" tape over their mouths in silent intercession: "Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God end abortion 
and send revival to America." [Watch an ABC news report on JHOP.] It was powerful.It was a great way to start off our day, as we continue to seek God’s heart for our country. Over the next 2 weeks, we are going to join JHOP and spend a portion of every day with our Luke18 interns standing before the Supreme Court interceding for our nation and praying for the ending of abortion.
Highlight #2: This afternoon we visited a Christian man who has been praying for revival in America since he was in Korea during the Korean War in the 1950’s. It was amazing to sit with this very normal man who has devoted himself to prayer for our nation.
In the 80’s he moved his family to D.C. to help with the Reagan presidency, and has been here since. One young woman on our team asked him, “Is there anything you can share with us as we begin building furnaces of prayer on college campuses, from your years of intercession for America?”
He said, “Let me pray before I answer you [I smiled to myself]… It takes great prayer to see God change an atmosphere and bring an awakening. But I have learned that it takes even greater prayer to maintain the awakening and keep the ground God has won over the enemy. I have seen many intercessors cease their fervency, assuming the job is done, while really it is just a cracking open of what God has in mind. And without sustaining prayer, the battle is lost, leaving us to start over.”
This broke my heart as I saw myself as one of those intercessors. I am praying this solemn assembly called TheCall, will not just be an event but really a sparking charge changing my life to being one of continual prayer for America.
