SAVE SOUTH AFRICA THROUGH FASTING AND PRAYER

To the disciples of Jesus Christ in South Africa! Peace to you in the Name of Jesus Christ! May God keep you safe from all harm and provide everything that you need.

This is an invitation to take part in three days of fasting and prayer. But before I get there, I would like to set out a few things.

One night in April 2008, before I went to sleep, I knelt down on my knees and I prayed to God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for three things: for a couple that I loved to be set free from alcohol addiction, for their souls to be saved, and for a new place for me to stay in Roodepan, so that I could be closer to the church members with whom I fellowshipped at that stage. Whilst I was peacefully sleeping, I was awakened by a gentle voice that was speaking to me: ‘Jy moet jou kruis dra. Ek wil jou n visser van mense maak.’ (You must carry your cross, I want to make you a fisher of men)

I knew immediately that it was the Lord Jesus’ voice. At first I was very disappointed with this plan of God. But then I thought of what happened to Jonah when he fled from God. I was supposed to travel by taxi to work, and some drivers drove at excessive speed and so I started to fear that an accident may happen. Eventually I went down on my knees and I prayed: ‘Lord here I am, do unto me in accordance with your will. One thing I ask of You: Please be with me, because I will not be able to do it without You. In Jesus name. Amen!’ I stood up, felt His peace in my heart, and started on a most wonderful and amazing journey, a life that I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams.

In 2010 the Spirit of God revealed to me that legalised abortion has brought the wrath of God over this nation. Please read the prophetic warning to the church in South Africa. The Spirit of God also instructed me to go on a seven year mission to deliver this prophecy to His church, starting on the 1st of September 2013. During the first year of the ministry, we preached at city halls. Upon instructions of the Spirit of God and from October 2014 we have been going to the streets and in the homes of people in more than 50 towns across the provinces of the Northern Cape, North West and Free State. We ended our outreaches on 15 February 2020 at Carnarvon due to the covid-19 pandemic. From September 2019 till December 2019 we also send the warning per e-mail and post to various churches spread throughout South Africa.

According to Habbakuk 2:12, a nation that goes about killing innocent people should not expect a future of prosperity and favour, but rather expect to receive great disasters.

Various political leaders support the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, Act 92 of 1996 of the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa. The aim of this act is to kill innocent babies whilst God is still busy forming them in the womb. What a high degree of contempt to God and to the lives of these innocent babies! Adam was formed from the dust. Eve was formed from Adam’s rib. From there on God creates human life in the womb. Psalm 139:13-14 declares ‘For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvellous are Your works and that my soul knows very well.’

Various political leaders who support the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act receive overwhelming support from the disciples of Christ. This should not be. I once more urge all Christians not to support them or associate with them.

The apostle Paul put it as follows in Ephesians 5: 8-11 ‘For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.’

I call on all Christian leaders not to be ashamed of the Word of God and to direct the members of their congregations to the truth. Stand firm on the Word of God. Do not be double minded. Do not be afraid of political leaders! But fear God Almighty! I say it again: Do not be afraid! The church of Christ cannot support abortion.

If the baby was conceived in rape, bring the guilty before a court of law. If the mother does not want the child, she can give the child for adoption. There are many mothers who accept and love the child because they know the child committed no crime and remains a gift from God. Many doctors and nurses urge pregnant women to abort because they think the mother’s life is in danger or the child will be handicapped. They must stop it and start to cherish life which they have been called to save and rather protect both mother and unborn child.

Praise God for those mothers who accepted their pregnancies under these circumstances. All pregnant women should be held in high esteem , especially those facing extra challenges. Pregnant women should be continuously supported with love and respect.

I call on the church of Christ to rise up from the dust and take up the destiny that God prepared for her. The church of Christ must be a light for the unborn child, for South Africa, and for the world.

David stated that when a lion or bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, he went after it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. And when it charged at him, he would grab it at the beard and strike it down. So when David saw Goliath, there was no fear in him. When Goliath came towards David, he ran towards Goliath, knowing that the battle belongs to the Lord God Almighty.

The unborn child is in the hands of heartless political leaders who does not fear God, nor do they respect the life of innocent and helpless babies. They ignore the Holy Scriptures and do not know that many kings throughout the ages were humbled by God Almighty, like king Nebukadnezer to whom God gave the mind of an animal for seven years. When God restored his mind, he declared boldly to the whole world: ‘ I blessed the Most High and praised Him…He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘ What have You done.’

One of God’s judgement’s over this nation will be a devastating civil war that will last for three months and the outcome has already been set by the Most High. Jude 23 (NKJV)says: ‘but others save with fear; pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.’ God Himself does not take any pleasure in punishing the wicked. Let us rather plead to God that even those with the blood of the unborn on their hands should come to a repentance. Remember who and what we were before. Remember that our LORD Jesus came for the sinner: ‘For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost’(Luke 19:10).

That’s why we call on the church to also fast and pray for the guilty. God is able to change their hearts, to make them fall on their knees and beg His forgiveness for what they have done before it is too late. But how much do we want to see the guilty repent. who is willing to fast for them, to cry for the guilty that God may have pity on them and change their hearts? After all, our struggle is not against flesh and blood!

Since January 2020, a small group of believers have been fasting and praying every month for three days for these things. You can read more about Christians in Kimberley who have been coming together to oppose abortion here.

We now humbly ask every disciple of Jesus Christ in South Africa, to join us in FASTING AND PRAYER the last three days of this month, SATURDAY 29 – MONDAY 31 AUGUST 2020.

Our main aim is to completely abstain from any food from Saturday 06h00 in the morning till Monday at 18h00, drinking only water. If it’s too hard for us, then we abstain from food between 06h00 in the morning till 18h00 in the evening every day, drinking only water.

Those on medication should not skip the meals necessary for their medication and see what they can give up. Each congregation or household must work out their own program for praise and worship, the Word of God and prayers for each day. The fasting will start officially Saturday morning at 06h00 and end at 18h00 the Monday the 31st. But these are just humble proposals. Let the Spirit of God lead you.

Let us please take this fasting very serious. Let us weep in those three days for all innocent babies who died through abortion; for their lives that were ended so abruptly by those that were supposed to love and protect them; for the pain and suffering they went through; for the grave injustice done to them; for their lost futures on the earth.

Let us fast and pray for all pregnant women and unborn babies: That God may protect strengthen and provide for them throughout the pregnancy; that they may always know that God will neither leave them nor forsake them.

Let us fast and pray that Christ may remove the blindness of His church that she may see with God’s eyes. May Christ lift the church from the dust and give her pure white clothes.

Let us fast and pray that Christ may send His Revival fires over South Africa so that His church can walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, freed from the yoke of sin, only doing God’s will in and out of season;

Let us fast and pray that God may change political leaders’ hearts of stone to hearts of flesh and blood. That the political leaders may love every unborn child in our land.

Let us fast and pray that Government proclaims a date for a REFERENDUM to abolish the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, Act 92 of 1996 and for new laws that will protect pregnant women and their unborn babies.

Father in heaven! Please forgive our land for every baby that was killed in the womb. Please! Please! Please! Bless our land with your mercy, grace and favour. In Jesus name. Amen!

May God Almighty richly bless everyone who will answer to this humble call. And now, may the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
