Important update. Please read!

An important development has just occurred in the legal battle against mifepristone—the abortion drug—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

At the center of this development is the FDA’s new investigation into the safety of the abortion pill. Recent data has pointed to a much higher occurrence of serious adverse events than the 0.5% figure appearing on the drug's label. The new findings suggest that the rate could be as high as 𝟭𝟬.𝟵𝟯%—a staggering number that any honest and reasonable person should find unacceptable.

𝗔 𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗦

In 2025, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. initiated a new investigation into mifepristone's safety at the direction of President Trump. At the same time, numerous legal challenges against the abortion pill were emerging across the country.

This renewed scrutiny has brought significant attention to a controversial issue that continues to loom over the upcoming midterm elections.

On April 7, 2026, Judge David C. Joseph ordered the defendants in 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘷. 𝘍𝘋𝘈 to provide a status update on the FDA’s investigation within six months. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟳.

In its filing, the Department of Justice detailed the methods of evaluation and the current status of the investigation. The FDA expects to complete its safety study by mid-December, after which it will begin interpreting the findings. According to last Wednesday’s filing, the agency expects to complete its safety-study report by March 2027.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗗𝗔’𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄.

Rather, it is the anticipated completion date for the safety-study report. The FDA must subsequently determine whether changes to mifepristone's restrictions are warranted.

We now have an updated timeline, and it’s a short one. What should we be doing while the investigation moves toward its conclusion and the FDA prepares to make its findings public?

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗜𝗟𝗟

Since the abortion pill received FDA approval in September 2000, many in the pro-life movement have questioned its actual safety. As usual, the abortion industry’s messaging has been shrouded in lies and manipulation. Remember Planned Parenthood’s infamous claim that abortion accounted for only 3% of its business?

Abortion proponents also popularized another claim: "𝗠𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝘆𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗩𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮."

Yet through the years, too many tragic stories have emerged of women injured or even killed after taking the abortion pill. Few people have access to the medical data or the expertise necessary to evaluate these claims. Spiritual discernment and anecdotal evidence alone are insufficient to challenge the industry's carefully crafted narrative. That's why we contend in prayer for the truth to be exposed and brought into the light.

That’s why the new report from the Ethics and Public Policy Center, released in April 2025, became so important. Its findings appeared to confirm our greatest fears—that mifepristone is far more dangerous than the public has been led to believe.

The report rightly became the subject of congressional scrutiny and added urgency to calls for a new FDA investigation.

𝗔 𝗞𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗖 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡

We must contend in prayer right now that there will be no interference with the data or the investigation. It is vital that the findings remain protected from manipulation or any attempt to conceal the dangers of the abortion pill in order to preserve the abortion industry's status quo.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.

I believe this is a 𝘬𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘴 moment for the prayer movement to shape history. All three branches of government are involved in this battle, and the decisions made in the coming months could have profound consequences for generations.

We must leave nothing to chance.

Will you join me in prayer, fasting, and intercession as we contend for the protection of women and children in America?

𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗦

1. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗗𝗔’𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆. Pray that the data will be accurate, the findings truthful, and the entire investigation protected from manipulation, interference, or suppression.

2. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗗𝗔’𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. As officials examine the data and determine what regulatory actions are warranted, pray for a spiritual alignment with God's purposes. Ask the Lord to give those in positions of influence wisdom, discernment, and courage to act on the truth.

3. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗶 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. She is President Trump’s nominee for Commissioner of the FDA and is reportedly pro-life. We believe her name may be a prophetic sign that God intends to shift the “Overton window” concerning the abortion pill—changing what is considered politically possible and acceptable in America.

4. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗛𝗦 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗙. 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱𝘆 𝗝𝗿. We believe he genuinely cares about children and the next generation. Pray that he will have a personal encounter with the Lord that establishes a deep and unwavering pro-life conviction.

5. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼-𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀. Ask the Lord to strengthen members of the House of Representatives and the Senate to boldly expose the dangers of the abortion pill and pursue legislative action to protect women and children.

6. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽. Ask the Lord to give him boldness, wisdom, and courage to take whatever executive actions are necessary to restrain the abortion pill and bring an end to its destructive impact in America.

𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.

𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗟𝗘

I continue this week with vital insights that will help you pray effectively concerning the abortion pill mifepristone—also known as RU-486. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿. What is needed right now is a prayer movement with understanding and focused intercession to see the evil of the abortion pill brought to an end.

It was December 1, 2021, as we stood in front of the U.S. Supreme Court praying while they heard oral arguments in 𝘋𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘴 𝘷. 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘖𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. The atmosphere was electric, charged by both the hope of the pro-life movement and the unhinged rage of those desperately fighting to protect abortion.

Then something happened that unexpectedly caught my attention.

A small group of young women walked up the steps of the Court and lifted a banner that read, “We are taking abortion pills forever.” Each of them opened packages of mifepristone and lifted the tiny pill in the air in unison. In a wicked display of defiance, they took the abortion pill right there on the steps of the Supreme Court. I was stunned for a moment and then deeply grieved.

Was it fake—a social media stunt for attention? Or was it something else? 𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹?

𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴. (Ephesians 6:12)

The fight to end abortion is first and foremost a spiritual battle. Knowing the demonic demand for blood sacrifice in this conflict, I’m inclined to believe what I saw was real. If true, that means there were several human sacrifices made to the demonic realm right there on the Court’s steps. It was perhaps a last-ditch effort to stop Dobbs, but I think it was primarily something else—𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.

𝗔𝗡 𝗨𝗡𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗡

In the days that followed, the thought came to me that the abortion pill represented an “unholy communion.” While we receive the elements of Jesus’ body and blood as a holy sacrament, it seemed like the abortion pill represented some kind of demonic forgery.

That idea became an even stronger revelation recently at the All To The Wall gathering in New Orleans, where we rallied to pray for 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘷. 𝘍𝘋𝘈—a court case challenging the abortion pill. On the first night of the gathering, Lou Engle led us in communion, and it was a precious time of encounter with the Lord. At one point I glanced over and saw Jeremy Jacobs, National Director of Bound4LIFE. His tears and sobbing caught my eye, and I asked him about it the following morning.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲.

When a woman takes the abortion pill, it’s actually a two-pill regimen. The first pill is mifepristone—a progesterone blocker—which cuts off the supply of nutrients to the baby. The purpose is to kill the baby in the womb. The second pill is misoprostol, which induces contractions to expel the baby. This process is designed to happen at home unsupervised. Babies are delivered in the toilet.

Jeremy described to me that the Lord showed him that the first pill kills the body, then the second pill produces the flow of blood. The two pills are a 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗶𝘁 of the bread (“this is my body”) and the w**e (“this is my blood”).

This revelation is shocking and overwhelming. Deep grief and sorrow have overwhelmed us in the days that followed as we consider how pervasive the abortion pill has become.

Do you realize that the number of abortions in America has increased year over year since 𝘙𝘰𝘦 𝘷. 𝘞𝘢𝘥𝘦 was overturned? There are abortions happening today in all 50 states because the abortion pill is being mailed across state lines—even into the 13 states that have banned abortion, like Louisiana.

We have always understood that modern-day abortion is no different than the ancient sacrifice to demons.

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴; 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘢𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥. (Psalm 106:37–38)

I believe the Apostle Paul speaks directly to this. In addressing food sacrificed to idols, Paul looked beyond the outward cultural practice and exposed the spiritual reality behind it. What was being sacrificed to idols was actually being offered to demons, and those who participated were partaking of the “table of demons.” Paul then directly contrasted this with our participation in the body and blood of Christ at the Lord’s table (1 Corinthians 10:14–22).

𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮—𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟳—𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱. 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵.

The practice of Bound4LIFE is to receive communion and plead the blood of Jesus every time we pray at a court or abortion facility. As we press forward in the days ahead, I want to encourage you to receive communion regularly or even daily. Don’t wait for it to come up in a church program only a few times a year.

As the church, we must reengage in the LIFE movement. We can’t afford to let the abortion pill continue unchallenged. This is a spiritual battle, and the church has a spiritual responsibility. We must take our place as a kingdom of priests—pleading the blood of Jesus, exercising the authority He has given us, and contending in prayer for the shedding of innocent blood to end.

Here are five ways I’m asking you to join us in focused intercession:

𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗦

1. Pray for the abortion pill to be restrained through current court cases like 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘷. 𝘍𝘋𝘈.

2. Pray for the demonic hold of the abortion pill to be broken off America.

3. Pray for the governmental systems and structures that have allowed for the abortion pill’s expansion to be shifted and changed.

4. Pray for the public conscience to be impacted by the testimonies of women injured by the abortion pill.

5. Pray for the church in America to rise up as a kingdom of priests who apply the blood of Christ.

For LIFE,
Matt Lockett

Today is the opening day of the next U.S. Supreme Court session, and it also marks JHOP DC’s 22nd anniversary. This is an epic milestone for us.

Whenever “22” shows up, God always reminds us of 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗮𝗵 𝟮𝟮:𝟮𝟮—

𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘥. 𝘏𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘵; 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯.

The word “church”—in Greek, 𝘦𝘬𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢—only appears three times in the Gospels: once in Matthew 16 and twice in Matthew 18. Every time Jesus talked about His church, He also gave her job description.

“𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯.” (Mt 16:19)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗮𝗵 𝟮𝟮:𝟮𝟮 𝗸𝗲𝘆𝘀…𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀.

How do we use these keys?

“𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺, 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘬, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘣𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯.” (Mt 18:18–19)

The keys of authority given to the church are meant to be used through prayer!

I am more convinced than ever that the responsibility of the ekklesia is to understand what God wants to be locked and unlocked—bound and loosed—and then use the 22:22 keys of divine authority to pray for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗜 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗱!

Please join me in celebrating JHOP DC’s 22 glorious years of ministry and mission on Capitol Hill. It is only by His grace that we continue to stand and serve His kingdom.

He has been faithful to us.

For the glory of God,

Happy 22nd Anniversary to JHOP DC and Bound4LIFE. It was 22 years ago today that the first piece of Life Tape was put on and the first Silent Siege took place. The house of prayer began a few days later. By the grace of God, we continue to stand in Washington, DC.

The recent All To The Wall gathering hosted by Bound4LIFE was revelatory. Something became increasingly clear as we gathered in New Orleans: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦.

For far too long, this has been a discouraging topic. But the pro-life movement has an opportunity right now to advance the cause of LIFE, protect vulnerable women and children, and confront what has been allowed to grow largely unchecked. We cannot fail to press forward.

After 𝘙𝘰𝘦 𝘷. 𝘞𝘢𝘥𝘦 was overturned in 2022 and returned the abortion issue to the states, many who had stood with the pro-life movement for years disengaged from important LIFE matters. Most people are completely unaware that something insidious was set in motion in the days before Roe ended—and they remain oblivious to the new reality our nation now faces.

Medication abortion—primarily the abortion pill mifepristone—has quietly grown in proliferation and access as surgical abortion has declined. 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝟲𝟯% 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲, but that number is undoubtedly much higher due to sketchy reporting requirements. Even in states that banned or restricted abortion after 𝘙𝘰𝘦, the abortion pill continues to grow through unrestrained access through the mail.

Lenient and relaxed access to the abortion pill—often with no involvement of medical professionals—has fueled its meteoric rise in the culture.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆—𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗡𝗢𝗪.

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗘

In April 2025, a shocking report emerged that challenged the prevailing claims about the safety of the abortion pill. Drawing from insurance claims data from 2017–2023, a tragic storyline began to unfold. The analysis from the Ethics and Public Policy Center revealed a completely different picture from the one repeated ad nauseam since the abortion pill was first approved by the FDA on September 28, 2000.

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝙄𝙀: “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙏𝙮𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙑𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖.”

Manufacturers of the abortion pill reported a serious adverse-event rate of less than 0.5% in clinical trials—a figure that has been continually cited even as a rightly skeptical pro-life movement questioned its accuracy.

But the new analysis of real-world insurance claims reported that 10.93% of women experienced sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or other serious adverse events following a mifepristone abortion. In some cases, women have died. That rate is at least 𝟮𝟮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 than what appears on the drug label.

I think you would agree that no drug with that high of a percentage should be on the market, much less available for anyone to order through the mail and self-administer.

And this report did not emerge in isolation.

States have begun bringing legal challenges involving the abortion pill, with as many as 12 cases moving through the courts. The issue has also risen to the level of congressional investigation and committee hearings. President Trump became aware of the situation and directed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to investigate these dangers.

The FDA is now re-examining the abortion pill, and we await its findings. A status update on that investigation has been ordered by the courts by October 7.

𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱.

Multiple fronts are moving at the same time—through the courts, the federal government, the FDA, and the growing public discussion about the dangers of mifepristone. But we cannot simply sit back and wait to see what happens.

𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵.

I will be writing more in the coming days to share what God is showing us concerning the abortion pill. In the meantime, will you join us in prayer and help move these matters forward spiritually?

𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗦

1. Pray for 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘷. 𝘍𝘋𝘈. Pray for Louisiana’s arguments to prevail in the case and through every stage of the appeals process.

2. Pray for the 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to have courage and take bold action against the abortion pill.

3. Pray for HHS Secretary 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗙. 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱𝘆 𝗝𝗿. to have wisdom concerning the abortion pill. Pray also for him to have a God-encounter that gives him a pro-life conviction.

4. Pray for 𝗗𝗿. 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗶 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗻, President Trump’s nominee to serve as FDA Commissioner. She is reportedly pro-life. Pray for her confirmation and for decisive leadership concerning the abortion pill.

5. Pray for U.S. Attorney General 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲. During his confirmation hearing, he made strong statements about exploring ways to restrict the abortion pill. Pray for wisdom and courage as the Department of Justice considers these issues.

6. Pray for the 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 who have been hurt by the abortion pill to be elevated in the public discussion. Pray that their testimonies will be heard—especially by women considering abortion.

7. Take a stand in the spirit and begin to contend for the abortion pill’s days to come to an end.
