In the past 40 Days here in Pensacola, we have witnessed at least nineteen (19) women choose life! AMEN! Thank you to all those who have participated this spring.

As this 40 Days for Life campaign continues, the need
for prayer for an end to abortion grows clearer each
day — as does the need to pray for healing for those
whose lives have been turned upside down because of
their experiences with the pain caused by abortion.
Lynda said that through her efforts with 40 Days for
Life, she often meets both women and men “who come to
confess an earlier and much regretted decision to have
an abortion.”
She had one person tell her, “I always wonder what my
daughter’s sister would look like.”
“It’s so sad,” she said. “There are so many broken
hearts; so much emptiness. There was a person who came
to me in tears saying how sorry she was about her
decision so many years ago. We must continue to pray.”
Nancy’s story is typical of what many 40 Days for Life
vigil participants are hearing.
“I was pregnant — but not by the man I had lived with
for the previous years,” she said. An older friend –
whom she considered wiser and more experienced –
recommended abortion. “No one spoke for the life of
my preborn.”
Nancy is one of the millions who regret their
abortions. Thankfully, she found healing in Christ.
The message that healing is indeed possible is part
of the 40 Days for Life witness at many of the vigils.
There’s a photo of the 40 Days for Life vigil in
Everett, Washington that illustrates that. Prayer
volunteers are carrying signs from the Silent No More
Awareness Campaign (http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org)
that read, “Women do regret abortion” and “Men regret
lost fatherhood.”

“Praying in front of Planned Parenthood has drawn me
closer to the cross than I’ve ever been before in my
life,” wrote Julie. “Twenty years ago, I had an abortion.
I never knew the power of prayer until now.”
For years, she said, the pain, shame and all that goes
with it had been buried deep within her. “This year,
God called me to 40 Days for Life and I was listening.”
She broke down while praying at the vigil. Two days
later, “I made a complete confession and turned my
life over to God, completely.
“I know I still have a long way to go in healing,”
Julie said, “but I can’t express what it feels like
to be forgiven. Thank you for your encouragement and
thanks to all of the participants of 40 Days for Life.
I could not have done this alone.”
“I was in the same situation some 30 years ago,”
explained Alicia. “I was filled with such unimaginable
guilt.” It took years for her to finally listen to God
and actually accept His forgiveness — and forgive
herself.
“I thank God that this beautiful ministry exists,” she
said, “and will continue until the end of abortion
comes to pass.”
Today’s devotional is from Carmen Pate, a member of
the 40 Days for Life board of directors.

DAY 35 INTENTION
——————————————————
DAY 35 INTENTION
——————————————————
Pray that all believers participating in this 40 Days
for Life campaign will make every effort to keep the
unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace
(Ephesians 4:3).
——————————————————
SCRIPTURE
——————————————————
And the glory which You gave Me, I have given them,
that they may be one just as We are one: I in them,
and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one,
and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and
have loved them as You have loved Me.
– John 17:22-23
——————————————————
REFLECTION by Carmen Pate, Point of View
——————————————————
Christ prayed that all those who would believe in Him
would be united in single purpose and spirit, just as
He and the Father were united.
I find it convicting to consider that those who would
run to Jesus with their sins, seeking forgiveness, and
falling in love with the Savior, often run from
Christians today.
Is it because they see division and dissension instead
of unity and peace?
No doubt Christ is pleased to see the body unified and
praying together during these 40 days.
This is exactly what we see when we read about the
beginnings of the church. Both the unity and the
prayer are conspicuous, along with the results of
unified prayer.
Acts 2:46-47 tells us, “So continuing daily with one
accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to
house, they ate their food with gladness and
simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor
with all the people. And the Lord added to the church
daily those who were being saved.”
No doubt the enemy is disheartened to see the unity in
prayer, fasting and peaceful vigil, and he will
continuously try to disrupt the bond of peace among
brothers and sisters in Christ.
Let us guard our hearts and minds, exhibiting the love
of Christ that He so graciously gives us, so that
those watching will see the love among us and know
that He must love them too!
——————————————————
PRAYER
——————————————————
Heavenly Father, give us grace in every situation to
work toward unity. With humility, gentleness, and
patience, may we endeavor to keep the unity of the
Spirit in the bond of peace.
There are hurting men and women Lord at the crossroads
of life and death who are looking for love and peace
in their lives.
May they see Christ in us and be drawn to the abundant
life that only He can give. It is in Christ’s precious
name that we pray, Amen.

Today, PRAISE GOD, we can report that three babies were saved from abortion and their mom’s and dad’s were spared from a life of regret after abortion! One prayer vigil participant reported that a couple came out of the abortion facility and gave a thumbs up and smiled saying, ” We’re keeping our baby!” THANK YOU JESUS! Please watch the following video and it will remind you just why they DON’T allow cell phones in the abortion facility. One reason why WE MUST STAND VIGIL and we must BE THAT CALL!

Abortions are taking place today, Saturday, March 20th in Pensacola!

This is the last full week of 40 Days for Life. If you live in the Pensacola area, have you gone to pray in front of AMS of Pensacola? Make every effort this week to go out and stand vigil for life. You will be glad you did.
Here is a posting from one of our vigil participants that was part of the day 25 national 40 Days for Life update.
Joe in Pensacola, Florida shared a similar story on his blog. It was a Saturday, and the abortion facility was packed when he and his 10-year-old son went to pray at the 40 Days for Life vigil.
“I try to use events like this to teach him, but I didn’t have to say too much,” he said. His son understood what was happening.
“He connected the abortions with his 2-year old sister, Anna. He said that our family would be a sad family if
Anna had been aborted, because she brings so much joy,” Joe said. “All I could do was agree with him.”

Last Saturday’s message dealt with the presence of
children at 40 Days for Life prayer vigils, and how
some people question the idea of having children pray
outside the abortion centers. As always, the Holy
Spirit has provided the final word: Bring the kids!
Ernie and Mary Beth are the coordinators of 40 Days
for Life in Pensacola, Florida. And wherever you see
Ernie and Mary Beth, you see their four children. And
of course, they were at the abortion facility this
past Saturday — the day that our e-mail message was
about children praying at the vigils.
The first good sign on this very windy day in
Pensacola was the fact that the abortion center’s
parking lot was half empty. It’s usually jam-packed.
So that means fewer abortion appointments.
Before the day was over, FIVE MOTHERS decided to
reject abortion and spare their children!
In one instance, a group of women drove up in two cars.
One got out, turned towards the vigil participants and
asked, “Why do you have children out here?”
Ernie replied, “They are here praying for you and to
remind everyone that children are a wonderful gift.”
She stomped away.
Just a minute later, one of the women from this group
drove away — very angry. The others from the first
car came out the front door with a woman who had been
inside the abortion facility.
Ernie said that’s another good sign. “Anyone that
comes out the front door has NOT had an abortion.”
The same woman who questioned the presence of the
children did so again: “Why don’t you get these kids
away from here?”
Ernie answered, “We love you! We are here praying for
you and your friends.”
As they drove out, the young woman who had left the
abortion facility gave a big thumbs-up outside her
open window. She had indeed chosen life!
“This spring, my four children, who have been with us
every day during all four 40 Days for Life campaigns
in Pensacola, have begun to understand the importance
of prayer in front of the abortion facility,” Ernie
said. “My two oldest — 8 and 6 — have really been
praying a lot this spring with us.”
It was Ernie’s children that the angry woman was
complaining about. And it’s no wonder. The children’s
prayers may have made a world of difference to that
young mother who left the abortion center, determined
to let her own child live.
“I believe my children were used by the Holy Spirit to
change this woman’s mind,” he said. “Children do have
a tremendous impact on the mothers and fathers that
enter abortion facilities. Thank you, God, for the
wonderful gifts you have given me in my life — my
wonderful children and wife. I am so proud of them all!”
Today’s devotional is from Rev. Clenard Childress of
Life Education and Resources Network.

DAY 30 INTENTION
——————————————————
DAY 30 INTENTION
——————————————————
Let us pray that pastors may not be distracted from
the priority of caring for human lives.
——————————————————
SCRIPTURE
——————————————————
In those days, when the number of the disciples was
multiplying, there arose a complaint against the
Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were
neglected in the daily distribution.
– Acts 6:1
——————————————————
REFLECTION
——————————————————
More folks learning left some yearning.
It is the dawning of a new day. There is much
excitement in Jerusalem. Many who dedicated themselves
to the faith became disciples (the word disciple means
“learner”).
The unprecedented church growth was miraculous and
undoubtedly brought much satisfaction to the new
leadership. The apostles, however, were about to
experience growing pains in their master plan of
evangelism.
Projects that engage the community, especially those
that are evangelistic in nature, are high on the list
of priorities for every duty-bound pastor.
Church attendance is a constant concern for every
pastor and often his or her worth is measured by it.
Unfortunately, just as the original twelve pastors in
Acts, they can be so focused on getting people in that
they inadvertently end up pushing some people out.
Murmuring is a deplorable deterrent to a harmonious
fellowship, yet God used it to get the disciples
attention. Those that needed daily attention due to
their age and social status were being neglected.
This neglect of the Hellenist widows during the daily
distribution of food was causing undue grief and
needed to be corrected by the leadership. By God’s
grace the problem was dealt with, but the lesson
remains.
And during these 40 days, let us pray that today’s
church not make the same mistake of forgetting the
contributions of our seniors, or the needs of the
weakest among us, the unborn.
——————————————————
PRAYER
——————————————————
Father, in the Church’s desire to engage our
communities with the Gospel let her not disengage from
those who need their care and company the most.
Let us gain wisdom from those who have gone before us
and cherish their experiences and perspectives. Help
us to appreciate every soul in the body of Christ and
minister properly to everybody. Amen.

Jesus, We Do Trust In You! We Do Trust You To End Abortion In Pensacola! In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit we Pray!
The Divine Mercy Novena for mothers, that they not abort their offspring; for infants in danger of being put to death in the womb; for a change of heart of providers of abortions and of their collaborators; for human victims of stem cell research, genetic manipulation, cloning, and euthanasia; and for all entrusted with the government of peoples, that they may promote the “Culture of Life”.
Ninth Day
“Today bring to Me the Souls who have become Lukewarm,
and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: ‘Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.’ For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy.”
Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.
