While most Christians never imagined the celebration and glorification of abortion and the legalization of infanticide that’s spreading across our country, it’s happening because so many “Christians in name only” voted for Democrats in the last election knowing full well they’d do exactly what they’ve done. Such people shouldn’t expect God to hear or answer their prayers for marriage restoration or anything else because they’re an abomination to Him according to Proverbs 28:9 (NKJV), which says, One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination. Make no mistake, God hates abortion and the shedding of innocent blood is an abomination to Him as declared in Proverbs 6:16-19 (NKJV):
16 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
Since everything on the above list of things God hates and declares an abomination apply to those promoting and attempting to justify abortion and legalized infanticide, it’s entirely reasonable and biblically sound to question who their spiritual father is, especially in light of what Jesus said in John 8:42-44 (NKJV):
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
Jesus went even further in John 8:47 (NKJV) and explained why People pushing abortion and legalized infanticide scoff and reject Christians and the Bible when He said, He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

So, whether they believe it or not, professing Christians who voted for Democrats and other legislators supporting abortion have the innocent blood of millions of unborn babies on their hands and will ultimately suffer the consequence described in 2 Peter 2:1-2 (NKJV):
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
Reading the above Scripture, I’m struck by the truth and significance of the last part because that’s exactly what we’ve seen happening in our country for quite some time now…so many people have been misled and deceived because of whom the way of truth has been blasphemed. Wow, talk about Scripture that’s relevant in today’s world, that really is!

However, Jesus clearly warned against the danger of false prophets and even told us how to know them in Matthew 7:15-23 (NKJV) when He said:
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
That’s why knowing the truth is the only way to be saved from Satan’s deadly deception as stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 (NKJV):
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
God further revealed the importance of knowing the truth in His written Word in 2 Timothy 3:13 (NKJV), which says:
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Then in Luke 6:46 (NKJV), Jesus indicated that anyone who does NOT DO as His Word instructs shouldn’t bother calling on Him when He asked, “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? He then illustrated what He meant by describing what happens to those who hear His Word and act accordingly and then what happens to those who hear His Word and don’t act accordingly in Luke 6:47-49 (NKJV):
47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.
49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

While there aren’t many things the supporters and opponents of abortion agree on, there’s one thing on which we probably all agree; very little divides the American people and our country more than abortion. So it’s not surprising that Jesus also warned us about the diabolically destructive danger of division in Mark 3:22-26 (NKJV), which says:
22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”
23 So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
That was also stated in Matthew 12:25 (NKJV), which says, But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Since the best antidote for Satan’s lies, wickedness and deception is irrefutable truth, it’s important to know that within six weeks of fertilization of the mother’s egg, an unborn baby has a heartbeat and his or her own blood type and DNA and is already miraculously developed as described in great detail here. So, even very early abortions involve the shedding of innocent blood, and the frequent description of the countless millions of babies that have been ruthlessly murdered as “blobs of tissue” is a lie straight from the pit of hell! In fact, we now know that even before the end of the first trimester, babies cry and feel pain. And then well before the end of the second trimester and weeks BEFORE the legal limit on abortion in most states, babies can and have survived being born prematurely during the twenty-first week of pregnancy. That’s proven by the miraculous survival of Lyla Stensrud, the youngest known surviving premature baby! There’s also Amillia Taylor, another one of the youngest and tiniest surviving premature babies ever born! Additionally, one of my best friends growing up was born prematurely at five months and blind because she was given too much oxygen while in the hospital. I also have two friends whose babies were born prematurely and weighed one pound at birth; yet they’re both now totally normal and healthy young adults!

After decades of lies and deception, most Americans were truly shocked and horrified when the depravity and wickedness at the heart of the abortion movement was laid bare by Virginia’s Governor Ralph Northam when they heard him seriously describe and attempt to justify legalized infanticide. He was clearly lying through his teeth because as Delegate Kathy Tran was forced to admit in a committee hearing, her proposed abortion bill repealed the requirement for certification by multiple physicians in the abortion process and would have virtually allowed abortion for any reason up to delivery–or even beyond according to Governor Northam. Thankfully, Delegate Tran’s proposed bill isn’t law in Virginia today since it failed to pass out of committee by ONE SINGLE VOTE! And that life-saving vote was only possible because Republicans barely kept control of Virginia’s House of Delegates when a tied election was broken by drawing the Republican candidate’s name out of a bowl!!! But that won’t keep Democrat legislators in Vermont and other states from passing similar or worse abortion bills into law as they did in New York! Let’s face it, the Democrats’ craven support for Planned Parenthood and all things abortion have pretty much been bought and paid for by Planned Parenthood and related lobbyists and abortion rights groups. For instance, in his 2017 campaign for governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam received almost two million dollars in donations from Planned Parenthood according to the non-partisan Virginia Public Access Project. In fact, Planned Parenthood also funded the 2017 campaigns of other top Democrats in Virginia, including Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring, along with donations to Delegate Kathy Tran and others as spelled out here. It’s sad to say, but when money and lobbyists talk, morals and ethics walk, and a simple search on the internet would most likely reveal very similar Planned Parenthood donations to leading Democrats around the country. . So, the ONLY way to stop or reverse the scourge of abortion that’s overtaken our country is to stop electing Democrats and everyone who supports abortion or refuses to stand against the legalization of infanticide as forty-four US Senators did yesterday! Otherwise, untold millions of healthy babies thriving and growing in their mothers’ wombs as described here will suffer deaths and inhumane treatment far worse than what’s lawfully prohibited for animals!

Finally, I want to speak to women who have had abortions in the past and still live with a terrible sense of guilt, shame and regret. I’ve counseled FAM members who previously fell prey to Satan’s lies and aborted their babies, and without exception, they all lived to regret doing that and never got over it. So I encouraged them to name their baby, have a private memorial service, confess their sin to God and repent and take comfort knowing that their precious baby is with God. Unfortunately, some judgmental self-righteous Christians consider some sins greater than others; however, that’s not true according to James 2:10, which declares, For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. So it’s not biblically correct to consider some sins worse than others…when Jesus died on the Cross, He died for ALL of our sin and cleansed us from ALL unrighteousness. Thankfully, we ALL have God’s Word that when we walk according to the Spirit and no longer walk according to the flesh, there’s no condemnation in Christ Jesus for our past sins as declared in Romans 8:1-4 (NKJV), which says:
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
So please don’t reject what Jesus did for you at Calvary; He forgave you, now you have to forgive yourself and walk in the power of His grace and love. In the eyes of God, your abortion is no greater sin than any other; including lying, coveting, dishonoring our parents, gossip, dissension and backbiting–just for starters. In the same way the devil deceived you into thinking it was okay to take the life of your unborn baby, he now wants to keep you in bondage to the guilt and shame you feel. So pick yourself up and walk in the victory Jesus Christ makes possible by treading the devil under your feet; he is a liar and the father of all lies and no longer has power in your life and heart unless you give it to him!
