We've GOT to pray


"Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who
are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy."

-Proverbs 31:8-9

Lou Engle spoke to our class last night. He spoke about the shedding of innocent blood. I was shocked to find that in NY there are incinerators where the abortion clinics burn the bodies of the aborted babies. We've got a silent holocaust in our own backyard!!! With each scripture passage that was read my heart sank in grief. I had always known that abortion was wrong, but Lou's message opened my heart to a whole other level. He spoke of Genesis 9, when God was instructing Noah after the great flood. One of the first things God told Noah was that a lifeblood demanded an account:

5And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.

6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made man.


Blood defiles the land: Numbers 35:33

" 'Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.

Bloodshed if not reckoned bring more bloodshed: Ez. 35:6

 "therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you."

Even us who did not take part in abortion are responsible to stand up because our eyes have seen it: Jeremiah 2

4 On your clothes men find
the lifeblood of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in.
Yet in spite of all this

35 you say, 'I am innocent;
he is not angry with me.'
But I will pass judgment on you
because you say, 'I have not sinned.'

2 Samuel 21- During king David's reign there was a 3 year draught and so David sought the Lord and the Lord said that it was a it was on account of Saul's innocent bloodshed on the Gibeonites. The Lord sometimes does not judge right away, but lets the judgement set for awhile in hopes of repentance. 

There is a day of reckoning coming to America. The Civil War was a day of reckoning for America. The courts could not turn around slavery and so war broke out to avenge the innocent blood of the slaves. According to Lou we are in a Esther preparation season of 12 months before the judgments will come. If we do not have abortion turned around in the courts it will not be a pretty sight for America.

Church it's time to get on our knees in fasting and prayer!!! We must not be silent! God is not going to allow the killing of His dreams for the sake of convenience anymore!! 


"Evil is allowed to prevail when good men do nothing..."  

2 Chron. 7:14
"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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

We are in need of God's mercy, for Him to heal our land. Jesus' blood was enough to pay the price, but we MUST cry out!

Sober thoughts Rachel, thanks for reminding me!

I don't see it, I don't hear about it, and it is hard to remember. The world seems ok. Yet meanwhile this evil is lurking in the shadows.

Lord Have Mercy on us by helping us rid ourselves of this terrible sin!
