Over 100 people gathered to pray in front of the GA State Capitol for 7 hours!!
In the words of Bound4Life Atlanta Director, Cathy Coburn, "The purpose of this day was to stand in silent prayer before the doors of our justice system and plead the blood of Jesus. Because of the blood of Jesus, we can go before the throne of God and cry out for Mercy! Thank you for your blood Lord!" Following is her article about this incredible event!During this Passover season, on Saturday April 26th Bound4LIFE and the Call mobilized Christians across America to gather at the supreme courts in all 50 states along with the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC to pray!! Bound4Life and the Call are both international grassroots organizations that have been mobilizing the church to pray for many years. Bound4Life is most easily recognized by our prayer tool, the “Life Tape” that we wear as we pray silently in front of Abortion clinics and governmental buildings.
The Mercy Seat gathering in Atlanta, hosted by Bound4Life Atlanta and Bound4Life chapters across the state of Georgia, was a huge success and blessing! Over 100 people gathered to pray for the state of GA in front of the State Capitol for 7 hours!! You know that it is God when so many believers from many different backgrounds and denominations gather to pray and worship Jesus! The purpose of this day was to stand in silent prayer before the doors of our justice system and plead the blood of Jesus. Because of the blood of Jesus, we can go before the throne of God and cry out for Mercy! Thank you for your blood Lord! As I stood in front of the Georgia state capitol, I was amazed at the thought of thousands of others gathering to pray at the same time in every state. What did it look like as the Lord looked down on the earth? I pray that He was pleased with His children. We certainly felt the pleasure of God in Atlanta. We had an amazing time of prayer as we stood with LIFE tape, gathered in small groups, and also worshipped our Judge, our lover, and our friend Jesus.
My favorite part of the entire day was at the very end as we worshipped the Lord unhindered full of JOY dancing upon injustice. It was a beautiful sight as we danced all over the steps and the front of the capitol. It was truly an honor! We were also blessed to be joined by a key legislator who has been a voice in the GA General Assembly for LIFE. Thank you for all of you that joined us on this historic day!
