PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida – Best-selling biblical author Jonathan Cahn says the course of history can be changed with one important element, and individual believers in the God of the Bible play a major role in altering history.
That single element is prayer.
“You can change the course of history with prayer. Prayer can change the course of history,” said Cahn, who was speaking on the National Day of Prayer Thursday evening before a crowd of hundreds at an event hosted by the Treasure Coast Christian Alliance.

“Roe versus Wade was overturned with the prayer of God’s people,” he said, referring to the 2022 Supreme Court ruling overturning the 1973 decision making abortion legal nationwide.
He quoted God from the Old Testament, saying, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV)
“America took something that didn’t belong to it,” the Messianic Jewish pastor said. “The lives of its unborn children.”
Cahn indicated the COVID pandemic of 2020, which he referred to as a “great plague,” was a direct 50-year result of abortion being legalized in America, specifying New York, the first state to legalize abortion on demand through the 24th week of pregnancy.
