Chapter 3 - The Horn of Samuel

CHAPTER 3

THE HORN OF SAMUEL

HEAVENS TRUMPET CALL OF LIBERTY TO THOSE HURT BY ABORTION

The Horn of Samuel 20

Heart of a lion

It would be impossible for me to write a book about my experiences on the sidewalk without

mentioning David Allen. He is a Civil Engineer who lives in Houston, TX but just as the

Apostle Paul is not known for his tent making prowess, David will likely not be remembered for

his construction projects, although Im sure theyre top notch.

David was called to be courageous against a mighty enemy; and stand alone in the spiritual

valley while the volunteer armies from both sides looked on.

In the Bible, the shepherd boy David was known for his courage when he faced the beasts of the

field and eventually Goliath. And when he reached the front lines overlooking the valley of Elah

that separated the armies of the Philistines from the Israelites the military leaders wanted him to

follow their familiar playbook.

They dressed David in the armour of man, but he could barely move. It must have been amusing

watching a boy tripping over himself with unfamiliar weaponry and clothing, David fastened on

the sword over the tunic and tried walking around, but because he was not used to them, he said

to Saul, I cannot go in these because I am not used to them. So he took them off. 1 Samuel

17:39

What the leaders didnt understand was that this shepherd boy was already wearing the whole

armour of God!

Ironically, he was probably too small and too weak to wear such military armaments. And yet he

was the one chosen by God to destroy the enemy. And thats because the repeating theme of

King Davids life was to bring glory to God. Both Israel and its enemies would see the power of

God shining through a shepherd boy armed with only a slingshot. And yet, hed been raised up

by God and prepared from childhood for this victory. The Philistines laughed until Goliath fell

to the ground dead.

In our time God calls us to the spiritual battlefield and

he gives us living examples that illustrate why were

not to fear the enemy - because He is greater. And in

the city of Houston, TX David Allen was called to

confront the Goliath of the abortion industry.

Sadly, during my time in Houston, TX the local

Planned Parenthood affiliate decided to build the

largest abortuary in the Western Hemisphere. Its

depicted in the cover art of David Allens book on the

previous page and in the picture to the right.


In addition to our federal tax dollars, many of the richest and the most powerful citizens of

Houston, TX knelt before this altar of human sacrifice with their tithes and offerings to fund its

$26 million dollar construction cost.

The mayor of Houston was there to cut

the ribbon and celebrate its opening in

May of 2010. And in 2011 the women's

auxiliary of the Harris County

Democratic Party celebrated Christmas

inside the abortuary. And in 2014, the

mayor of Houston, Annise Parker,

married the campaign treasurer for

Planned Parenthood, Kathy Hubbard.

Lest there be any doubt where the city

stood on abortion, in 2014, the Mayor

and the City Council called for the

repeal of pro life legislation in Texas

and for the passage of new legislation

that would enshrine tyranny over the

unborn as the settled law of the land.

The city of Houston is a modern day Nineveh.

When pro lifers observe the decadence and debauchery of the political and business leaders of

Houston, TX the initial reaction is often a very negative one. However, history shows us that

God loves fallen cities and calls them to repentance. Jonah is a famous example of a reluctant

hero who wanted to serve God on his own terms, but eventually learned that service to God

doesnt involve negotiations.

The Bible says, When Jonahs warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the

proclamation he issued in Nineveh: By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or

animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals

be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways

and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce

anger so that we will not perish. Jonah 3:6-9

And the Bible says, When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he

relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened. Jonah 3:10


Its also no mistake that God had given Nineveh 40 days to repent.

How many modern Jonahs has God called to warn the cities of their impending destruction? If

all who were called to the sidewalks to preach repentance were willing to submit to Gods will

we might be in the midst of a revival today.

The story of Jonah resonates with me because I am often reluctant to see what God sees in the

hearts of sinners who are running from Him and persecuting the innocent. Despite the fact that I

am a sinner who was rescued, like Jonah, all too often I only want to see Gods justice prevail

and not his mercy. God is just, but his justice is made perfect by his mercy.

And that brings us back to David Allen.

Though the world didnt know it, God had sent a warrior into the valley to face the Goliath of the

abortion industry but this David wasnt there to destroy them. He was there to call them to

repentance.

David responded to the construction of a mammoth altar of human sacrifice in his city as a call to

the sidewalk, but when the news first broke, I remember being disheartened. It appeared to me

we were losing the battle. Rather than shutting down a single clinic in Houston, the enemies of

God were building the largest abortuary in United States history.

It seemed Houston wanted to embrace death and laugh in the face of God. To make it more

desperate, on many days there were more pro choice volunteers than pro life volunteers standing

on the sidewalks.

And then David showed up to sound a trumpet.


My son is named Samuel

If you stand on the sidewalk long enough you will eventually see some strange things. I

remember vividly the first day that I saw David although I didnt know his name at the time. A

car pulled up to the far corner of the Planned Parenthood abortuary on Fannin Street in Houston,

TX and a man wearing a Jewish tallit stepped out of the car and blew a giant animal horn over

the building.

The sound of a trumpet reverberating over the building got everyones attention. And then he got

back into his car and drove off.

Over the coming weeks this happened on a regular basis and we all began to wonder about the

meaning behind the sounding of the horn. Id never seen a horn that large and I learned later that

its called a shofar. For those unfamiliar with its history here is a quick overview, The shofar is

an instrument made from the horn of a ram or other kosher animal. It was used in ancient Israel

to announce the New Moon (Rosh Chodesh) and call people together. It was also blown on Rosh

Hashanah, marking the beginning of the New Year, signifying both need to wake up to the call

to repentance, and in connection with the portion read on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, the

Binding of Isaac (Genesis, chapter 22) in which Abraham sacrifices a ram in place of his son,

Isaac.

One day as we were stood next to the front entrance gate of Planned Parenthood, David pulled up

and blew his shofar. But on this day, instead of getting back into his car and driving off, he

walked over and approached us. I remember being surrounded by Planned Parenthood volunteers

wearing yellow vests.

He addressed both us and the Planned Parenthood volunteers, sharing his testimony. I have

included that testimony below the experience that brought him to the gates of Planned

Parenthood. It is Davids own words from a book he wrote that chronicles his spiritual and legal

battle with the Goliath of the abortion industry.


Excerpt from The Horn of Samuel by David Allen (free full version available here)

_____

Growing up in the idyllic coastal community of Coronado, California, I selfishly thought the

white sand beaches and endless days of surfing and sailing existed just for me. I was the center

of the universe and could just reach out and take whatever I pleased.

In the summer of 1971, before my senior year of high school, I met a delightful girl with a bright

smile and a happy heart. Her family had just moved in down the street, and she would be a

sophomore at my school. She loved the beach as much as I did, and we surfed and sailed

through the summer together. We became fast friends and then high school sweethearts.

Shed grown up in a loving home, and her parents welcomed me into their family. She loved art

classes, and her beautiful projects were always presents for me. She completely trusted me with

her heart.

But in 1973, shortly after Id graduated, she became pregnant. Despite our relationship, my only

concern was how this would affect my own dreams.

As we faced this pregnancy, I did not see a precious new baby and a lovely young mother, but

rather the need to avoid the consequences of my actions.

It so happened that the U.S. Supreme Court had issued a ruling just months earlier, in a case

called Roe v. Wade. It was breathtaking in its scope, overthrowing the protective laws of 50

states, and conferring to American citizens, broad rights to decide which unborn children would

live, and which would not.

Wed heard about the case, and flowed with the tide of popular opinion supporting it at the time.

We could not imagine the heartache it would bring us.

Just as Parenthood planned, we were ushered into a storefront office, and found a straightforward

solution to our problem.

She was 16 at the time, and there was apparently no requirement to inform her parents. In secret,

we drove to Childrens Hospital in San Diego.

After being examined, she was left on a gurney, exposed to passersby. When she asked to be

covered, she was humiliated by a nurse who told her coldly, You should have thought of that

before. After it was over, another nurse told her, It was a boy.

A dark sadness filled the car on the drive home, as she shared these deep hurts with me. We left

the tiny remains of our firstborn child behind.


Our relationship withered, along with her bright smile. Abortion is a hidden sadness. It cannot

be shared and it is not appropriate to grieve. Its consequences manifest in lowered self esteem,

as once high ideals are crumpled by addictions, depression, and other devastating consequences.

It became my darkest secret, and I know it was hers as well. As we went our separate ways,

serious problems would follow each of usthe bad fruit that abortion produces.

I expected the sadness to fade away, but instead it was a nagging heartache that grew slowly

stronger, like a choking vine. It was not my only secret; but it was by far the darkest.

Id kept this secret through two failed marriages. I divorced my first wife in 1980, for purely

selfish reasons, and hurt her and her family deeply.

A second marriage would be unhappy, except for two beautiful sons whod arrived in 1985 and

1989. My second wife left me in 1989, taking our two little boys, and in a divorce I did not

want, I tasted the hurt Id caused my first wife.

Through all this, no matter the rationale justifying abortion, I knew in my heart, that Id taken the

life of my first son, and had then hurt many other people with my selfishness. Now, all this

seemed to be surfacing at once to accuse me. And a long-suppressed grief process for my first

son was finally beginning.

Growing up, Id learned the 10 commandments as Gods rules. Almost twenty years later, as I

turned 38, I realized Id broken them all.

After my boys were taken from me, I moved East to be near them, but was then transferred to a

project in Louisiana. And there, for the first time in my life, I was fired.

That evening, I sat alone on a grassy slope, looking out over the Mississippi River. I sensed a

journey was beginning that I could not control. And there I felt the urgent need to read my

Bible.

Id had similar feelings before, but each time Id tried, Id be convicted by the passage I chose to

read and would close the Bible to go my own way.

But now, something made me search through my trunk and pull it out. I began reading with a

passionan insatiable hunger for the New Testament that this time, would continue unabated. I

wanted to learn everything I could about Jesus and what He had said.

While confident that I would soon be re-employed, no companies were interested in talking to

me. I loaded my pickup truck with all I had left, and began a physical and spiritual journey

westward. Staying with a series of friends and relatives, I progressed along a road that stretched

from Louisiana to the Pacific coast.


The journey lasted all summer, as things grew more and more desperate. My savings were

quickly gone, and my numerous debts seemed overwhelming. My pride was crumbling into

humility.

After almost 5 months, I was staying with an Aunt in the San Francisco area. Buried in debt, and

no longer able to visit my two boys, I would occasionally lie on the carpet and weep. There was

a vivid sense of falling into a black pit with nothing to hold on to.

Each morning, I would make calls and send out resumes, but by now I expected nothing but

silence or rejection. In the afternoons, I would escape for long walks. As each past wrong or

debt would come to mind, Id say, Let it go, trust in God. The reminders were so relentless

that I would say over and over, Let it go, trust in God Let it go, trust in GodLet it go, trust

in God...

I continued to read my Bible hungrilyonly there could I find peace. I was getting to know and

trust Jesus.

And then, on August 17, 1992, a miracle happened. I was walking along a cool, shaded trail in a

redwood forest above Oakland. Id gone there to be alone with God. Leaving the trail, I found a

secluded spot and sat down on the soft forest floor. I looked up at the treetops waving against a

blue afternoon sky. And in complete silence, I entered my Guilty plea before God.

Father God, I see now how Ive taken a life and hurt so many people. Im

destitutebut thats fineI dont care. And Im homelessand thats Okayit doesnt

matter. But, there is just one thing I must ask. Lord Jesus, if You would, please take this

mess Ive made of my life. Its too heavy for me. I cant carry it anymore.

There was a sense of peace walking back to the parking lot. Typing a letter the next

morning, the phone rang. It was my old company telling me they wanted me back in

Pennsylvania right away. I loaded up the pickup and began the cross country drive, sleeping

in a pup tent.

During the trip, I had a second offer from a company which needed me on a project in

Boston right away. After a stop at my old company in Pennsylvania, I went on to see my

boys in Virginia, and while we were at a water park playing, I received a third offer. The

first offer had come less than 24 hours after my prayerand three in less than a week! And

that after no one would even talk with me for 5 months.


I took the job in Boston and began the process of paying off all my debts. I found a Bible-

based church, where I came to understand Id been saved and where I would be baptized.

There I met a beautiful Christian lady named Anna, who accepted me even after I told her all

my secrets. She seemed to genuinely love my two boys that came up for regular visits.

Anna insisted on a proper courtship, which seemed much too long for me, but she would

eventually agree to marry me. We have been blessed with three wonderful boys of our own,

and a beautiful home. My two older sons are on their own, both wonderful success stories.

But early in our courtship, I knew it was important to share with Anna, my abortion secret.

In response, she offered her forgiveness, and reminded me of Gods.

During this process, I felt led to give my first son, whom I had aborted, a name. I named him

Samuel. I now knew that God had knitted Samuel in his mothers womb, and would always

love and care for him.

While Samuel is lost to us in this present time, he lives with his true Father, and they have

both forgiven me, and are waiting to welcome me into a kingdom where there can only be

forgiveness and love, and where there are no tears.

Repent and be baptized!

After he shared his testimony David walked back to his car and left, but I finally understood that

his shofar was the horn of Samuel the voice of his first born son. And he wasnt just blowing it

for his own penance, he was blowing it as the clarion call for the citys repentance.

We started to look forward to Davids regular visits to the street corner and it seemed like every

time he blew the shofar the sweeter the sound.

One day a friend of mine named Jonathan Davidson (who youll be reading about later) asked

me if Id been out to the construction site where they were building the new abortuary. I told him

I hadnt been out there. I suppose the main reason I had not gone out there was because it was a

depressing thought.

I agreed to ride along with him to the construction site since neither of us had seen it.

As we pulled up to the construction site I remember thinking it was much bigger than I had

imagined. It was located in an industrial area and there wasnt much foot or car traffic in the

immediate vicinity, unlike their location on Fannin Street. It didnt seem like an ideal location

for an abortuary, but it was next door to the University of Houston and centered among the

minority neighborhoods targeted for abortion.

We had barely stepped out of the vehicle when a police car pulled up. The police officer rolled

down the window and asked me, Are you the guy with the horn?

I told him I wasnt and then he asked, Do you know a guy who blows a horn?

I told him that Id seen him several times at the abortion clinic but I didnt know his name.

Ironically Id never formally met David at the time and I did not know his last name.

The police officer shook his head, He went into the building and blew a horn.

It was obvious that the police officer viewed this as a complete waste of his time, and we looked

around but there was no sign of David. This seemed like an innocuous event since the facility

was still under construction and there was nobody around.

In reality, this small act of defiance against the enemys stronghold sent a shockwave through the

enemy camp.


We subsequently introduced ourselves to David the next time we saw him on the street corner

and he explained that he was being prosecuted for criminal trespass by the city of Houston.

When the Planned Parenthood executives heard that David had walked into the construction site

and blew the horn they went ballistic. The Harris County District Attorney evidently agreed that

this crime could not be overlooked.

They were going to make an example of David Allen.

Although I dont practice law, I have a law degree and during the trial I attempted to persuade

David to cooperate in getting the case dismissed. David would smile and say, Thank you

Steven, but Im trusting God.

Prior to the trial we advised David that he needed to get an attorney and we did some preliminary

research to locate some pro life attorneys licensed to practice in TX. We found a couple

prominent lawyers in Houston, TX who professed to be pro life and agreed to represent him.

David listened to each of them describe strategies to compromise and avoid a trail, but David

declined each such offer, feeling he needed to face this giant in full dependence on his faith in

Jesus Christ

As the trial date approached David was surprisingly calm. The presiding judge then suggested a

public defender. David agreed to meet with the public defender and we thought that perhaps it

still might work out.

I then received a voicemail from David who said, Steve, the public defender seemed angry with

me and Ive declined his assistance.

I didnt know David very well back then so I thought he must be overreacting. Why would the

public defender be angry with him? David was a very collegial person. And the idea of

representing yourself within the legal world is not looked upon favorably. The saying goes, A

man who represents himself has a fool for a client.

At this point I was pretty sure David was going to jail.

The day before the trial we met David on the steps of city hall with our video equipment. And

here is what he had to say on those steps: https://youtu.be/I98iLRF-qro

(click link to watch video)


A number of pro lifers and other shofar sounders showed up for both days of Davids trial. Also

in attendance were the Planned Parenthood staff, construction worker witnesses, and a number of

young District Attorneys who came just to watch the spectacle. I sat directly behind the District

Attorney who seemed overjoyed to be prosecuting this case. Ironically, his name was Joshua,

and we learned later that his wife is an OB/GYN physician who had delivered thousands of

babies in Houston.

The first surprise was that there was a man dressed in a suit sitting next to David Allen. I

suspected it was an attorney, but I already knew that David was representing himself. Moments

later, the trial began and it was a circus from the beginning. The District Attorney stood up and

said, Your honor this is highly unusual but the public defender would like to address the court.

And then we listened to the attorney who the city of Houston had originally appointed to defend

David Allen testify against him. I could not believe my ears this man was willing to risk losing

his license to practice law to attack David Allen in open court and on the record!

The darkness obviously saw something in David Allen that rest of us had missed.

As the Public Defender spoke his neck and face turned a deep red and he was waving his arms

wildly. He told the court that David Allen wearing a tallit was a mockery and he wanted him to

remove it. He was so strident that an armed Bailiff tapped David on the shoulder to make room

for him to stand with David to protect him. For those unfamiliar with Jewish tradition, a tallit is a

Jewish prayer shawl.

This was the first of many occasions that a

mistrial should have been declared. The

Public Defender had violated his attorney

client privilege and was now a witness for

the prosecution.

After the Judge ruled in Davids favor,

Joshua turned to David and hissed under his

breath, Youre not even Jewish, are you?

David seemed upset at this accusation, and

responded firmly, I am of the tribe of

Judah. Grafted in!

Joshua then argued that a pro-lifers t-shirt to be removed or turned inside out because it had a

pro life message that he felt would taint the jury. And then the judge took over.


The judge refused to remove anyone from court because of what they were wearing and

reminded the District Attorney of their Constitutional Rights to free speech. And it was apparent

that this judge was not going to be swayed by public opinion.

It turns out that this particular judge was an ordained minister.

The mystery of the man sitting beside David Allen at the defense table was also solved. The

previous day the judge spoke to an attorney hed known from law school who happened into the

court on other legal business. The attorney was advised, I have a case for you, but there is no

time to prepare and you wont get paid.

After hearing these details, this attorney agreed to accept the case and act as second chair for

David as he would be defending himself. This attorney was a partner in law firm who none of us

knew, but he was a Christian willing to serve God with no notice.

Maybe God had a plan?

David didnt listen to me and he didnt make any of our legal arguments. I was focused on

getting David off on legal technicalities, but Davids primary focus was to serve God and not

worry about the consequences.

When the Planned Parenthood staff and construction workers were called to the stand David

reminded them, Didnt I tell you that God loves you?

David Allen was witnessing to the enemies lined up against him!

And the more David witnessed to the Planned Parenthood staff and the construction workers, the

more unhappy the District Attorney became. At one point he stood up and yelled, I object!

Your honor hes not making legal arguments. Were not here because God loves people.

But he was wrong. That was the only reason we were all sitting in a courtroom.

The Bible says, The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but

is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to

repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

God was calling the city of Houston to repentance. God was calling our nation to repentance.


The Good Samaritan

In the common law there is a defense to criminal trespass and its called necessity. The necessity

defense states that in an emergency situation its okay for someone to jump the fence and

trespass on private property. For example, if you hear a child drowning in your neighbors pool

you dont have to knock on the door and get permission to save the child necessity dictates that

you put the childs life ahead of laws designed to protect property rights.

But the law doesnt require you to do it.

There are no Good Samaritan laws in the United States that require you to rescue others. If you

hear a child drowning and struggling for their life you are not required by the law to save them -

but thats not how Gods law works. God compels us to reach out and save those drowning in

their sins.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark 16:15

But what is the gospel? Here it is, He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he

that disbelieveth shall be condemned. Mark 16:16

The baptism includes the vows and promises weve made to God. Many Christians have vowed

to reject Satan and all of his works. Abortion clinics are a sinful masterpiece of Satan. And the

silent complicity of the churches across our country is a tacit acceptance of Satans work on

Earth.

But not everyone kneels silently before the altars of darkness. God calls his servants to reject

them.

David Allen wasnt blinded by conformity to this world. No matter what the U.S. Supreme Court

decided, he knew, and regretted deeply, what hed done to his first son under that Supreme Court

decision. And he obeyed God and walked into an altar of darkness that would murder thousands

upon thousands of innocent babies and he proclaimed the love of God.

He obeyed the scriptures, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the

renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of

God. Romans 12:2

When David blew his horn in the largest altar of human sacrifice ever built he publicly rejected

Satan and all of his works on Earth. He said in his testimony on the steps of city hall, I had a

special authority. David was told to walk into the building, but his first reaction was, Certainly

not!


And that would have been my reaction. David had a good paying job and family to support. You

dont waltz into the heart of darkness and proclaim the love of God and expect to keep your job

and your family intact. If that happened pretty soon everyone would be doing it.

It took courage to walk into that building, but the world didnt celebrate Davids courage far

from it! The jury in Davids trial convened for only a few minutes. They quickly found him

guilty of criminal trespass.

It didnt matter that the construction workers and Planned Parenthood lied on the stand. They

said they thought he had a gun, but when video that a pro lifer had taken was shown in the

middle of the trial their lies were exposed. It showed a smiling David Allen walking calmly into

the building and saying exactly what he testified to in court.

David wasnt the first servant of God found guilty for obeying God.

Jesus was also found guilty in the court of man. And out of love he allowed that court to carry

out its most tortuous of sentences. But that was as the Lamb. As the Lion, He will return and

deal will deal harshly with the fallen church and cast sinners into hell, Not every one that saith

unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my

Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied

in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful

works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work

iniquity. Matt. 7:22-23

Who is Jesus talking about in this passage? Its a prophecy about a future generation who will

call themselves Christians and use the vernacular of the Bible and yet not know Him. Hes

talking about pastors, priests, and parishioners of a dead church.

According to Jesus they will be saying Wait a minute God I played the part! I worshipped

you!

But they didnt follow Him and they didnt serve Him. And theyre going to hell, Every tree

that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Matt. 7:19

The dead church of our day certainly fits the description so it comes down to a question of our

hearts. Who are we REALLY serving?

The empty sidewalks bear witness to the truth.

The police serve and protect the interests of the state even when those laws violate Gods law.

And Christians are called to serve and protect the interests of the King of kings and Lord of lords

even if that means we must confront a godless nation and its godless laws.


But it takes a special kind of courage to serve God knowing in advance the cost will be great.

Its easy to worship God in the comfort of an air conditioned pew, but to serve Him in the streets

sometimes requires great sacrifice. And yet those who proclaim God in the cathedrals are often

the first to mock that which they dont understand, How dare you walk on private property

youre supposed to be peaceful and prayerful!

We signed a statement of peace!

Did Jesus come to bring peace on Earth? Here is what he said, Think not that I am come to send

peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance

against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her

mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. Matt. 10:34-36

(emphasis mine)

On the steps of city hall David Allen said, To know the truth, to be emboldened by the truth,

and to share the truth.

Jesus wasnt handing out statements of peace to his disciples in an effort to persuade Rome that

they need not worry about their presence. He was telling them to grab a spiritual sword and

divide and conquer a sinful world. Jesus made statements of conquest, Truly, truly, I say to

you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will

he do, because I am going to the Father. And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I

do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:12-13

Jesus Christ brings spiritual discord because his existence demands a spiritual verdict. Will we

go on serving ourselves and display the forms of godliness, but denying the power of God that

could make us holy and righteous, or will we submit to the will of God and serve Him?

The truth divides a nation because sinners reject it. The United States rejected God in 1973 when

they made abortion legal. We rejected God and his works on Earth and the army that was called

to rescue this nation and its unborn children was the church of Christ.

But the church failed miserably, but God will be victorious.

Were called to be Good Samaritans even when the church leaders ignore the truth. Jesus Christ

said, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your

strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27

The theologian then asked Christ to clarify what he meant by neighbor.


And Jesus replied, A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

A

priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the

other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on

him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on

his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two

denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. Look after him, he said, and when I return, I will

reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers? The expert in the law replied, The one who had mercy on him.

Jesus told him, Go and do likewise. Luke 10:30-37 Jesus used the example of a priest and Levite for a reason.

These men knew the law, but didnt follow it. The Good Samaritan lived it.


More than conquerors

After winning its guilty verdict, the District Attorneys and Planned Parenthood thought they had

won and the celebration began. I watched the District Attorney skip out of the courtroom with a

grin on his face. The Planned Parenthood staffers didnt need to say anything because I already

knew what they were thinking, See what happens when you challenge the powers of darkness?

The hubris of Satan and those that follow him is that they believe they can win. They look at the

rag tag army of prayer warriors on the sidewalk and laugh. Goliath was laughing too, right up to

the moment of his death.

The Bible describes their destiny, For their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood. How

useless to spread a net where every bird can see it! These men lie in wait for their own blood;

they ambush only themselves! Proverbs 1:16-18

Something else happened during the trial. The judge decided to allow David to blow his shofar in

open court. The word spread quickly through the building that a shofar was going to be blown

and the few remaining were filled by junior District Attorneys who filled the room to watch.

And they were each handed a DVD with the testimony of Abby Johnson telling the truth about

Planned which can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/jqwjiar0OvU (click link to view video)

Planned Parenthoods head of security was standing next to me and I said to her, Youve just

poisoned the well. All of the DAs are going to know the truth about Planned Parenthood. As

always, God was victorious. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him

that loved us. Romans 8:37

At the sentencing phase the judge looked at David and said, Youre the nicest man Ive ever

met, but theyve found you guilty and I must sentence you.

Looking back Im reminded of the trial of Jesus Christ. Pontius Pilate did not want to sentence an

innocent man to death and so he offered up Barabbas, but the crowd demanded the life of Jesus

and a guilty man was set free.

I am Barabbas. You are Barabbas. Christ took the place of a man condemned to die and hung on

a cross for his sins and our sins.

God did not ask anything of David Allen that he had not already asked of his son, Jesus Christ.

However, despite the guilty verdict, David served no days in jail, had no court costs, and there

was nothing on his permanent record. But there was plenty of witnessing!

And that is because God had already prepared the way and appointed a special trial judge.


Slaying the giant

The battle did not end in that Houston courtroom. It was only just beginning.

David Allen continued to minister outside of the largest abortuary in the Western Hemisphere

and in 2011 the Houston Police Department handcuffed David and left him to roast in the back

of their squad car parked in the Planned Parenthood parking lot for an hour until he succumbed

to heat stroke and had to transported to the hospital for emergency care. As a result of that

unlawful arrest, the District Attorney ruled that David could walk up to the Planned Parenthood

fence to preach the gospel before it was considered criminal trespass. David obeyed this ruling

for over three years and shared the good news of Gods love for a fallen city. However, this past

year the new District Attorney (Devon Anderson) charged David with criminal trespass for doing

what the previous DA had instructed him to do -- the legal term for this is entrapment.

Here is a short video of David Allens arrest: http://youtu.be/FuTD3XOA7wY

Davids second is trial is scheduled for April 27th, 2015. Please pray that David Allen will

continue to be anointed to stand against the Goliath of the abortion industry. And please pray that

his family will have the strength to endure the slings and arrows of the enemy.

Also pray for District Attorney Devon Anderson whom God loves very much, but who has sadly

chosen to side with the abortion industry. Pray that Devon and her entire staffs eyes will be

opened to the evil of the abortion industry

And finally, please pray that by the power of the Holy Spirit this Goliath will be slain and

abortion will end in the city of Houston and across the United States. We know that God

specializes in slaying giants. And we know that Christ promised that we will do greater things in

his name to bring glory to God.

I know that sometimes David Allen feels like hes fighting the battle alone, even with an army of volunteer Christian lawyers battling at his side. Ive felt that way a few times while standing alone on the sidewalk, but I know that none of us stand alone when we do Gods will.

God stands beside us!

In my last conversation with David Allen I told him, You may have walked down into the spiritual valley alone, but I have faith that Gods army is on its way to Houston. And many of them are already there. God loves Houston and every fallen city in this land and he calls men and

women out of their cars to serve Him.


The Holocaust Memorial

I have faith that the largest abortion clinic in the Western Hemisphere will be shut down. And in

preparation for that glorious day of victory, David has put his Civil Engineering skills to good

use and sketched out the Holocaust Memorial that will replace it. A reflecting pond will be

located in the footprint of where Planned Parenthoods building once stood.
