According to the New York Times, President Obama has launched “an aggressive campaign” summoning leaders from ObamaCare-supporting organizations to “build support for the law seen as President Obama’s signature legislative achievement…” The organizers plan “a prayer vigil, press conferences, and other events outside the Court when Justices hear arguments for three days beginning March 26.”  Their goal: “…to shape public opinion.”

It is an amazing coincidence that we have long been planning our own prayer campaign, much like our call for prayer when I argued at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals last May, to cover the United States Supreme Court’s deliberations.  How surprising that our launch was planned for the day of the President’s unexpected announcement!

I applaud the President’s desire to submit ObamaCare to the Lord, but I think he may be surprised at His response!  I am requesting that ALL Liberty Counsel members rise up in an unprecedented wave of unity – and PRAY – not to sway public opinion – but, as Joel 1:14 declares, to “Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.” Please read this very urgent update – Mat.

On March 26th, just 13 days from now, the nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court will hear oral argument on the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Law” cases.  Their deliberations will include many of the key components of Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit against ObamaCare.

The Court’s ruling, expected in June, will impact every business, healthcare facility, health insurer, and, most importantly, every individual in America.  Their holding will either restore several of the pillars of our Constitution that ObamaCare violates, or further extend Big Government’s reach into the lives of every American.

There is much at stake:

President Obama’s signature legislation; our world-class healthcare system; every American’s personal liberties; the expansion of abortion services; skyrocketing medical expenses; trillions of dollars of additional government debt; the government’s ability to dictate individual purchases; and “mandates” that people of faith and faith-based organizations must violate their consciences and participate in government tyranny.

++Our commitment to pray will be recorded in a unique “Book of Remembrance.” 

Our Book of Remembrance is based on the pattern described in Malachi 3:16…

“A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.”  It commemorates the names of those joining a solemn assembly to petition the Lord in a time of trouble.

Our Book of Remembrance is the roll of a national gathering of Believers, convened on the Internet, covenanting to join in prayer in the Spirit of Joel 1:14.

It will contain the names of multiplied tens of thousands of deeply concerned Christians who will be crying, “Lord, deliver us from ObamaCare!” throughout the period of time leading up to the expected announcement of the Court’s holdings in June.

Our nation needs 100,000 or more prayerful patriots to be included in Liberty Counsel’s Book of Remembrance. More than anything else, Liberty Counsel’s Book of Remembrance is a way for you to play a direct role in STOPPING ObamaCare now and for all time!

++We are totally committed to seeking God’s Hand of deliverance! 

In early May 2011, as I entered the courtroom of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals facing the Department of Justice in our case “Liberty University v. Geithner,” I was carrying our Amici Book. If you will remember, the book was filled with over 76,000 names of people who had committed to pray for us that day and throughout this process. 

As I’ve shared with you before, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled that the individual mandate is a “tax” under the Anti-Injunction Act (AIA), and thus the court does not have jurisdiction to rule on the merits until the “tax” is paid and a “refund” is sought by a taxpayer.

Thus, according to the appeal court’s logic, the case could not even be brought to the federal courts until the mandate becomes effective in 2014.

This ruling went against every court in America that considered ObamaCare!  Every other court found that the mandate is a “penalty,” not a tax, and that the AIA does not apply.

There was never any doubt that the Supreme Court would be the final arbiter of the constitutionality of ObamaCare. Now, as I look back over these events, I CLEARLY see God’s providential Hand guiding the process and answering our prayers! And I expect nothing less than His blessing as the Supreme Court considers ObamaCare’s final disposition.  

I know that God’s people were praying that day last May and throughout this long, drawn-out process. Further, I believe the Lord has uniquely prepared Liberty Counsel for this season in our nation’s history. I believe that God is bigger than all of this – and that our Fourth Circuit ruling and the DOJ’s appeal certainly didn’t take Him by surprise!

The Lord has continually honored our work and the prayers of His people. The evidence of that is quite clear!

That’s why I am once again calling upon you, Patrick, to add your name to the Book of Remembrance and to show your commitment to pray, “Lord, deliver us from ObamaCare!”  To indicate your prayer commitment and to receive your free bumper sticker, click here:

This legal battle against the government takeover of the American healthcare system is arguably the most historic litigation ever fought in the United States federal judiciary!  It is truly worthy of every American Christian’s best prayer effort.

Thank you in advance for your prayer support and continuing partnership with Liberty Counsel. May God richly bless you!

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman

Liberty Counsel
