I Corinthians 9:24-27
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may [a]obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize [b]is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
The country is a buzz about the leak in the Supreme Court about the vote on Roe vs Wade. Crazy! While we have had many many leaks in a lot of areas of government, it has not touched the Supreme Court…until now!
Speculation is that a leftie wanted to get the word out there so pressure could be put on the pro-life justices to change their minds. Not sure if that would happen, but anything is possible, hey, I never thought this would happen!
Pro-life people , while we know this is a breach that NEVER should happen, we also know God works all things for His good purpose. So, what is good about an egregious leak in the highest court in the land? A ‘second wind’ for the right!
Often when we are working on something; a race, college, a project for work, when we are almost there-we loose our energy! Our momentum wavers, our drive decreases. That’s when we need a ‘second wind’, a spark to spur us on the last stretch to the finish line! That’s the way I view this!
It is now 49 long years since Roe was passed. Since then over 63 million people have been murdered through abortion! Every year there is a walk in Washington to remind us of that atrocity. Often pro-life is brought up in our Christian circles. Women’s organizations have helped discourage women from having abortions. Still the scourge continues, and even becomes worse as now an abortion pill is available through the mail. I can hardly believe it!
Here are some words of encouragement for us all. IF you have had an abortion-you can be forgiven! It is only when that wound is allowed to fester and become infected that it continues to be a tool in satan’s arsenal against you. Tell someone you trust who loves you. and allow them to comfort you and help you through your healing.
If you have always stood for life, now is the time to set aside daily times of prayer that are fervent and effectual! Since the verdict has not been officially given-yet, we must continue to show God we are serious about having the law of the land being overturned. Of course, this is really only the first step in the process. Overturning Roe vs Wade would just send the law to each individual state who would decide as a state if abortion should be legal in their state. So, each state than must muster up a prayer team to pray for the abortion law to be overturned in their own state or commonwealth.
While we, the believers in Christ were ‘sleeping’ some 50 years ago, satan entered our judicial system and stole innocent lives right out from under our nose! Let’s not allow it to happen again! Pray for more pro-life candidates. Vote for pro life candidates. Support ministries that help parents when they choose to keep their child, or adopt them out to a new forever home. I am standing with my sister in the Kansas City House of Prayer, Diane Campbell, an intercessory missionary, as she cries out to God about this breach in American morality. I stand with my sister Andie Lantzy who is embarking on a monumental task to get a ‘Deeper Still’ Ministry here in the North East. This is a ministry dedicated to helping women who have had abortions, finally heal from the guilt. I support other area ministries that make every attempt to dissuade the pregnant mom from having an abortion. When she does decide to keep the baby, they help her with items she will need, parenting skills and support when she needs it.
We as the community of Christ followers must act like we believe it is a sin to take a life-because it is! We as a nation will be held accountable. Now is the time to do what we can to show God we believe in Life!
