Walk Across America

Starting at the beginning of March, Rev. Flip Benham, National
Director of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America and I (Rev. Rusty
Lee Thomas), along with my two daughters, Shekinah and Destiny, a
donkey, a white horse, an aborted baby, and a ministry team will walk
across America as a living parable carrying a prophetic message to
America.

This marks our most ambitious effort, our greatest adventure, and most
arduous task in service to our Lord Jesus Christ and the unborn made
in His image.

When words fail, as they have in the abortion wars, God speaks through
parables. Every step of this 3000 mile journey, which will take 6 to 7
months, carries a prophetic word of warning to America. The killing of
God's babies in the womb must cease or we will face the increased
judgment of a Holy God upon our sin-soaked and blood-stained land.

When King Jesus rides a donkey, He comes in peace. God is merciful and
He longs to be gracious to America. He desires to be our friend and
great benefactor as He has in our history. However, our many sins and
idolatry, such as abortion and sodomy, have grieved God's Spirit and
have removed His hand of protection from us. The constant threat of
terrorism upon our own soil and the erosion of our liberties is clear
evidence of God's displeasure with America.

When King Jesus rides a white horse, He does not come to bring peace,
but to make war and bring judgment. America has chosen to kill her
babies, now America must choose how she will respond to God's warning.
The message is clear, America must stop killing our children or prepare
to meet thy God! America, do we want King Jesus to ride a donkey unto
us or a white horse? Time is running out and we must decide. For if we
persist in killing our children, behold, the white horse is coming and
this is the name that is on its side, King of kings and Lord of lords!

Dear Champion Of The Lord and the Unborn,

The Lord richly bless you! Next week, Flip Benham and I, plus a
ministry team will be starting our Walk Across America Prophetic Tour.
We are entrusting ourselves to God and setting our face like flint to
fulfill this most arduous assignment that God has given us to date.
Today, I had the privilege to preach at my Church. I told them that
we don't have much of a comfort zone, but what we did have is now been
taken away. We are getting ready to launch out into deeper and more
uncertain waters than we have ever known. Pastor John Wachsmann, my
faithful pastor, laid hands on my family and sent us out to fulfill
God's word to America. We are grateful for that blessing. Brethren,
pray for us!

IN KING JESUS' SERVICE,

Rusty



WALK ACROSS AMERICA PROPHETIC TOUR

"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel:
therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him
not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to
save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and
he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die
in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a
righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity,
and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because thou hast
not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness
which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require
at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the
righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because
he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul." (Ezekiel 3:17-21)


We all know it is a dangerous world out there. Turmoil churns from
within our nation and threats of terrorism plague us from without.
These predicaments are highlighted by our President's new budget
proposals that he sent to Congress recently. Two of the most expensive
items on his budget are Home Land Security and the Military. Clearly,
our government is concerned about what the future may hold for America.


For many in the Church, America's precarious position is a "sign of the
times." They view what is happening through the grid of dispensational
theology and chalk all this up to the "End Times." Thus the heathen
solution to the danger is to "Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we
die," while for many in the Church, the solution is to stay sequestered
in our churches, sing songs to Jesus, and wait for the chariot of
heaven to swing low and remove Christians from this evil mess.


Very few would dare to see this situation as God's remedial judgments
upon a spoiled, wicked nation. Very few would consider that our sins,
such as abortion, sodomy, and pornography have reached heaven. And
fewer still would preach in our seeker friendly churches this message,
"In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence
saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare
them, and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled, and vexed
his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he
fought against them (Isaiah 63:910)." We would preach with passion the
first part of Isaiah's passage that reveals God's great love and saving
presence, but God becoming an enemy to His people that fights against
them? This is not possible or so we nervously think. I believe this
refusal to honestly and Biblically assess our true condition before a
Holy God in America is producing the very thing we shudder to recognize.


For many years now, God has used Operation Rescue/Operation Save America
as a prophetic witness to different cities throughout America. A little
remnant of saints would show up to give God an excuse to show off. In
each city, God would watch over His word to perform it with mighty,
terrible signs and wonders following. This is just a sampling. In
Orlando, we prophesied against the abortion industry, the homosexual
agenda being promoted by Disney, and the pedophile books being sold at
Barnes and Nobles. We declared that God would judge Orlando just as He
judged Sodom and Gomorrah, by raining down fire upon their heads. Butch
Berget, our OSA worship leader, sang at every gate we visited this song,
"We Serve a God Who Answers by Fire." At the conclusion of the event,
Brother Flip Benham called upon me to give the benediction. After the
saints of God said "Amen," the entire area went up in flames and burned
out of control for over a month.


In New Orleans, however, God blessed the city by arresting the spirit
of murder and bringing peace to their streets. Pastor Bill Shanks, one
of our national leaders, prophesied that if the abortion mills would
shut down while Operation Rescue came into New Orleans, then God Himself
would end the plague of murder that was terrorizing his city. At the
time, New Orleans was the murder capital of America. Even the police
were murdering other police. It was insane. Sure enough, we came into
town and every abortion mill shut down. Halfway during the event, the
media made mention of the fact that there was a connection between the
murder of the innocent in the womb and the escalating violence in the
streets. They declared, "Didn't Operation Rescue say that if abortion
shut down there would be peace in our streets? That's what they said.
Would you know, there hasn't been one murder thus far since they have
been here. Incredible!"


In Buffalo, NY, Flip Benham preached from Hosea 4:1,2 which states,
"Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a
controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth,
nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying,
and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and
blood toucheth blood." He specifically cried out against the sin of
shedding the blood of our children through abortion. He demonstrated
from the Scriptures that there was a direct connection between the
bloodshed in the womb and the blood coursing down the corridors in our
public schools. The next day two disturbed young men walked into their
school in Columbine, CO, and without mercy gunned down 13 of their
peers and then committed suicide. That night, we had a spontaneous
solemn assembly that brought us tearfully down on our faces in the
fear of God.

The following is the press statement OSA released after 9/11. "The
horrific attack on America today was not a mere coincidence. Reminiscent
of accounts in the Old Testament when God used prophets to warn nations
of their wicked ways, America has been given its own warnings over the
years for the shedding of innocent blood through the horrific practice
of abortion. The most recent national rebuke was this past weekend when
a prophetic word was spoken to the White House police on Saturday,
September 8, 2001.

Rev. Flip Benham, along with 18 other pro-life pastors and leaders from
across the nation, gathered in the nation's capital to bring a prophetic
warning, that if we continue to sow bloodshed in the womb, we would
continue to reap it in ever-increasing horror in our streets.

Standing in front of the White House, praying and proclaiming the
prophetic Word of God, these gentle Christians were threatened with
arrest. They refused to move, and instead continued to pray for the
mercy of God on our nation. As they were given their third and final
warning, Benham declared these prophetic words, "No, America! This is
your third and final warning!" Then he read from Dt. 32:25, "In the
street the sword will make them childless, in their homes terror will
reign. Young men and women will perish, infants and gray haired men."

"The Supreme Court of the United States of America declared that
children in their mother's wombs were not fully human and therefore
were not entitled to the full protection of the laws of our land," said
Rev. Benham. "Because of this open rebellion and blatant disregard for
the Law of God and for life, our nation is suffering under the remedial
judgments of God Himself. Blood is coursing down the corridors of our
schools, workplaces and streets. Because we have not hated bloodshed,
bloodshed is pursuing us." (Ezekiel 35:6)


After Flip gave God's "Third and Final Warning," he was arrested. I
picked up his fallen Bible and told him I had recovered it. He told me
in no uncertain terms to open it to Dt. 32:25 and preach. As I did, I
stretched out my hand toward the White House and prophetically declared
that if America didn't repent immediately of child-killing then God
would reduce our economic and military might to dust. Thirty hours
after we left Washington DC, the Twin Towers, the symbol of our economic
might, and the Pentagon, the symbol of our military might became dust.


There are many other examples that could be mentioned, but this should
suffice for now. The reason for this brief history of how God has
soberly used Operation Rescue/Operation Save America in times past is
to try give understanding of the national implications concerning this
Walk Across America Prophetic Tour. In Joshua, the word of the Lord
proclaims, "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon,
that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses (Joshua 1:3)." Every
step of this three thousand mile journey carries a prophetic parable
to our entire nation. The warning we are bringing does not just
encompass a city or a region, but our sin-soaked and blood-stained land.


The first station of the walk will be known as JUSTICE. Brother Curtis
Fenison, our official OSA shofar blower from North Carolina, will be
carrying an aborted baby and a set of the Ten Commandments broken. The
broken baby demonstrates the injustice and the broken Commandments of
God. Galatians 3:24 declares, "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster
to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Thus
following the law of God will be a donkey that I will lead. The donkey
will carry a banner that reveals her name, MERCY. The Gospel message
between these two stations is undeniable. The Law of God is a
schoolmaster to lead us to Christ and the very mercy of God. If however,
our nation spurns the goodness of God that leads to repentance,
following the donkey trails a white horse led by Rev. Flip Benham.
On the horse's side a sword will hang and a banner will read
"King of kings and Lord of lords." The horse's name is JUDGMENT.


Prayerfully, you can begin to see the urgency of our obedience to
fulfill this arduous task. In our opening passage in Ezekiel, God
exhorts the watchmen upon the wall to cry out a warning if they see the
sword coming. Flip and I are simply seeking to obey the admonishment of
the Lord. We have enough blood on our hands already concerning the
babies that have been murdered in our nation under our watch. We don't
need to add the blood of the wicked who allowed them to die in the
first place. Brethren, pray for us!
