Pray for America's highways -
01-13-2008, 04:03 PM
Fellow members of LBC, please do what you can to help make highway I35 the holyest highway in the country. Well, probably all the highways need some prayer, so don't be shy spreading it around.
Quote:
DALLAS, Texas (CNN) -- If you turn to the Bible -- Isaiah Chapter 35, Verse 8 -- you will see a passage that in part says, "A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness."
Now, is it possible that this "highway" mentioned in Chapter 35 is actually Interstate 35 that runs through six U.S. states, from southern Texas to northern Minnesota? Some Christians have faith that is indeed the case.
Churchgoers in all six states recently finished 35 days of praying alongside Interstate 35, but the prayers are still continuing. Some of the faithful believe that in order to fulfill the prophecy of I-35 being the "holy" highway, it needs some intensive prayer first. So we watched as about 25 fervent and enthusiastic Christians prayed on the the interstate's shoulder in Dallas. They chanted loudly and vibrantly, making many people in the neighborhood wonder what was going on. They prayed that adult businesses along the corridor would "see the light" and perhaps close down.
They prayed for safety and freedom from crime for people who lived along the interstate. They prayed that all Americans would accept Jesus into their lives.
The woman who came up with the concept of "Light the Highway" is a Texas minister named Cindy Jacobs.
She says she can't be sure Interstate 35 really is what is mentioned in the Bible but says she received a revelation to start this campaign after "once again reading Isaiah, Chapter 35." Jacobs also points out that perhaps there is a link between the area near this highway and tragedies that have happened in history, such as the bridge collapse on I-35 in Minneapolis last August and the assassination of JFK 44 years ago near I-35 in Dallas. That's why prayer certainly can't hurt, she adds.
Now, it's only fair to say most people, the religious and the non-religious alike, don't buy any of this, but none more than the owners of some of the adult businesses along I-35. At an adult go-go club, the owner tells us he resents people trying to impose their will on others. And he says his club holds fundraisers, food drives and toy drives to help the community. But on the side of the road, the prayerful aren't going to change their minds. Holy highways and nude clubs, they believe, are not a combination God has in mind.

These good Christians need your help!! If you can't make a trip to visit I-35, send them a brief prayer!!
Praise Jesus!
Ack!

I-35: Highway of Holiness is made up of a number of pieces, including (but not limited to):
Quote:
- Kickoff Events
- 24/7 Houses of Prayer
- Radical Evangelism
- Purity Sieges
- Light The Night
Kickoff Events
The 35 days of I-35: Highway of Holiness will be preceded by simultaneous kickoff events in Laredo, TX and Duluth, MN. To learn more about the details of the Laredo Kickoff or the Duluth Kickoff, click the links.
24/7 Houses of Prayer
At least 12 (and probably more) cities along I-35 will be hosting 24-hour prayer for the duration of the event. We are also connecting with Marketplace Houses of Prayer and HOPs not located on I-35. Want to know more? Click here.
Radical Evangelism
Radical Evangelism will be headed up by Heartland World Ministries. From weekend evangelism trips to youth rallies, many different efforts will be made during the 35 days to increase the Kingdom of God.
Purity Sieges
A Purity Siege can be described as a spiritual demonstration. In much the same way people protest against governmental or business aspects of society, young people stand outside of spiritual strongholds and visually demonstrate their opposition thereof, along with intercessory warfare.
Light The Night
The consummation of the 35 days of prayer will be a 5-night event called Light The Night. With a great line-up of speakers and a foundation of 30 days of intense prayer along the entirety of the highway, we are expecting God to do miraculous displays of power.

A Call To Intercession
September 4th, in our weekly staff prayer meeting, God brought to our attention all the incidents of bloodshed that have taken place all along I-35. Many of you are familiar with some of these tragedies:- San Antonio: Remember the Alamo
- Austin: University of Texas tower shooting on August 1, 1966 (16 dead)
- Waco: 1993 Branch Davidian conflagration (79+ dead)
- Dallas: 1963 Assassination of John F. Kennedy
- Oklahoma City: 1995 bombing and collapse of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building (168 dead, 853 injured)
- Wichita: 2000 Wichita Horror (4 tortured and killed)
- Wichita: The BTK serial killer (10+ dead)
- Kansas City: 2007 Shopping Mall shooting (3 dead)
- Mason City, Iowa: 1993 5 people murdered by the first woman on death row since 1953
- Minneapolis: August 1, 2007 bridge collapse
Remembering these tragedies brought to our attention the need for repentance and healing to occur along I-35. On August 15, 2006, Cindy Jacobs declared this over the cities of I-35, "This is a time of uprooting of the ancient things in my cities that have stopped My glory and power from manifesting. Uproot corruption, pornography, abortion, homosexuality, terrorism, violence and any other thing that opposes My will." Click here to read the entire Royal road for His glory prophecy.
Pray for God to remove the roots of violence in your city. Repent on behalf of the bloodshed that has occurred and ask for God’s cleansing and forgiveness to cover the land. Let’s prepare the highway for our God!

That's ridiculous. I-35 is already the holy highway prophesied in Isaiah, and has been ever since the northern Iowa section was completed.
Do these shallow-rooted so-called Christians think it is mere coincidence that I-35 leads to Landover Baptist Church?
Pastor Billy-Reuben
Upon request I will cite scripture for all these facts in God's Holy Word.
✝ This is a Christian community and we worship GOD of the Holy bible, the only Living GOD. We worship Jesus Christ, Son of GOD and Savior. Anything else is absurd. ✝

Rock and Roll fans and other sinners should be reminded that on February 3, 1959 the Lord killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson in a plane crash near I-35 in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. This was an early warning of the sexually promiscuous heathen music and the lasting scourge it would leave on our great nation.
Praise Jesus!
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
...and get off my lawn

Thank you Pastor Pistle!

I think the Huckabee link is strong here: Cindy, the joyfully smiling pastorette, speaks of God releasing holiness and "rewriting laws" and "destroying internet pornography". To me this sounds much like Reverend Huckabee's plan to bring American laws into conformance with the Bible.
I will be organizing a Purity Siege at a nearby university in order to show misguided students that they are wasting their youth drinking, fornicating, and studying secular science. I hope a major Siege activity (besides lobbing bales of Jack Chick tracts over the dorm ramparts) will be praying that God release His holiness on I-35.
May this mighty Path be the Path of the Lord.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Psalm 25:4

I just wanted to give folks a little progress report:
(This pertains to sections of I-35 in Kansas and Iowa only)
First of all, KDOT (Kansas Department of Transportation) has agreed to erect a lighted exit sign for our friends at Westborough Baptist Church.
Secondly, IOWA DOT will require that at least 60 percent of all billboards along I-35 must read "IN GOD WE TRUST" or "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" and absolutely no multicultural (forgive me Jesus) propaganda will be allowed.
Finally, on the I-235 Des Moines route, foreign cars and cars that weigh less than 5,000 pounds must stay in the right-hand lane!
Jesus - gentle, dependable overnight relief.

God's mighty Forsight in evidence! -

God's infinity of wisdom apparently prompted car manufacturer Infinity to design and market the Model I-35 especially for God-loving people to drive on the Highway of Light. Praise the almighty forsight of the Lord God!
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. Psalm 147:5
