THE HEART OF THE MATTER

I am sure your heart yearns to stop the holocaust of abortion, the dismembering and burning alive of living babies in the womb.

However, I think that the devil, who is the mastermind behind abortion, has hoodwinked those of us who say we are prolife. The devil, who comes to “rob, kill, and destroy,” hates life. His plan goes beyond abortion. The trio he uses to rob, kill, and destroy are contraception, sterilization, and abortion. His first aim is to eradicate life before it is born. Abortion is his back-up plan.

Statistics tells us that clinic abortions are decreasing, but the aborting and stopping of life is increasing. Americans are now being introduced to “mail-to-your-home abortion pills” so mothers can freely annihilate their babies.

The American Life League states that “Using formulas based on the way the birth control pill works, pharmacy experts project that about 14 million chemical abortions occur in the United States each year.” That’s more babies killed through the Pill, and its various associated methods, than through abortion!

Since Roe v. Wade (46 years ago), over 61 million babies have been aborted in USA. If we count the babies that could have been aborted by the Pill from that time it would come to 644 million! Far more than abortion!

Recently my husband was speaking at a church in Louisiana. We were privileged to talk to the pastor of this church who has a passion for saving babies. He wanted to shut down abortion clinics in his area but did not have much success. He cried out to the Lord as to why he didn’t seem to be making a difference. The Lord spoke to him and said, “You are aborting children in your own home. Your wife is taking the Pill.”

He was surprised. He spoke to his wife who was not very happy to hear this news. It took her some time to come to the realization of this truth and to stop taking the Pill. However, when she stopped, God began to move. God gave strategies to this pastor and he has now closed down nine abortion clinics in his area.

The devil does not have the power to give life. He cannot give conception. And therefore, He seeks to undermine God’s power to give life. We, as God’s people of life must be truly pro-life. We must think pro-life. We must have God’s mind about pro-life. If we have the mindset to stop life by our own decision, or the pill, or other contraceptive devices, that’s not pro-life. It’s pro-choice.

When we limit our families and stop life coming into the world, it is an abortive spirit. It belongs to the kingdom of darkness, not God’s kingdom of life. God is pro-life! His first mandate to mankind was “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.” He did not say “Contracept, sterilize, and abort.” God wants His image to fill the earth.

May God give each one of us a truly pro-life thinking. To think like God thinks. To always be open to life. Until we come to this understanding, how can we win the battle against abortion? We must be totally against the spirit of abortion which is the same spirit as contraception.

Let’s be true battle soldiers for life.
