Let me begin by saying, I believe New York City has a birthright to birth Intercession to the Nations, with this gifting of birthing comes a great responsibility in what we export to the Nations. Many looking from the outside would say not much good comes from New York City.

But God…..

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, Romans 5:20

Recent updates in the natural do not paint a pretty picture such as the new law passed by NY City Council, which states. Beginning on Jan. 1, 2019 anyone who was born in New York City has the ability to have the gender marker on their birth certificate changed to X, rather than simply male (M) or female (F), and is able to do so without a doctor's note or medical assessment.

The New York City law doesn’t allow parents to select X at birth, but they will have the ability to change the gender marker on the certificate any time before the child is 18 years old. People over the age of 18 have the ability to make the change themselves.

On Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019 the NY State Legislature passed the “Reproductive Health Act” and Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law this late term abortion bill on the 46th Anniversary of  thelandmark court ruling of Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision.  Advocates said the measure is needed to protect abortion access in New York in the event the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.  That evening the Freedom Tower was lit up pink at the sight of 9/11 Memorial. This a memorial to the thousands of innocent lives lost, now celebrating the choice to end innocent lives of babies…

I believe there is a progression of sin that leads to Gods judgments, when we go from sin, not knowing that we are sinning against God, to rebellion - choosing to do what is wrong, to iniquity which is making laws that are against God’s Biblical mandates.

Several days after this we in NY received a prophetic word from Chuck Pierce

There would be an earthquake in New York and 1,000 people killed for every abortion. He then followed up

This thing with New York - let me tell you something - God is God!  And the blood speaks.  That blood will get so loud in New York, it will jar those bridges!  You write it down!  That heartbeat will get so loud it will make Scrooge in that movie where he’s visited by those demons, look like patty-cake.  I know God too well and I know how He works.  When you decide to run with demons, they’re going to come back for you eventually.                                                                                

This drastic move by the enemy has awoken a somewhat complacent church in NY. Leaders across the state are now seeing opportunity for a real Unity arising between Upstate and NYC, which we did not have after 9/11. It was much easier for people to go back to their so-called normal lives disconnected from the trauma of 9/11. But in this case this law is affecting everyone’s conscience and spiritual beliefs.

We ask for your prayers that we the ecclesia will unite in a unified strategy to turn our state from the culture of death to a state that Champions a Covenant of Life. We are launching a 40 day campaign of fasting, prayer, and action beginning Wednesday, March 6, 2019 and ending on Sunday, April 14,2019.

…. but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. Daniel 11:32b

UNITED NATIONS

There have been and continues to be many ministries focused on the United Nations.  Some have specific focuses to Ambassadors, others to staff of the Secretariat, and still others as NGO lobbyist groups whose targets are Conferences and events.  I believe it is important to honor and bless those who have gone before us, as well as those who are presently ministering at this Global Gate.

Last September, President Donald Trump during his speech in the General Assembly made a profound statement.

“America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism”.

Because of this statement and the actions of the United States the Globalist who’s whole agenda is for a One World Government are now in a state of ciaos, which is why I believe we are seeing an opening like many of us have not seen in all the years we have been laboring at the UN.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.  Romans 1:16

I ask that you focus your prayer for those who will be attending and hosting events during the sixty-third session of the Commission on the Status of Womenwhich will take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from March 11, 2019 to March 22, 2019.

There are thousands of individuals who come from around the worldto this conference, they are seeking answers to the Global Challenges, yet we know there is only one place to find those solutions that is from the King Of Kings and Lord of Lords. Pray for those with Kingdom solutions to have access to World Leaders and those who council them.

Secondly, pray for those in our government who work in collaboration with the United Nations and its organizations, they are currently pushing the most pro-life agenda then any previous Administration.

Finally, pray for the confirmation of Kelly Knight Craft who has been nominated to be the next UN Ambassador, this is a very influential position and carries a weighty responsibility; we desire God’s person to be brought forth.

In closing, I want to thank you in advance for your prayers on behalf of NYC and the UN; I believe we serve a Big God who wants us to pray Big Prayers! I look forward to sharing the Glory Stories of Kingdom Advancement in the near future.
