Part 1 #esthermovement

Esther was orphaned and adopted by her cousin Mordecai and became Queen…a Queen of the greatest empire on the earth at that time. That doesn’t come by accident. She was chosen by God to help her people and her opposition was great. She knew she could die but her purpose was greater than her fear of death.

“Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” Esther 4:16, ESV

 Because of Queen Esther, the Jewish people were not exterminated. God showed her favor through King Ahasuerus and God used the Queen to fulfill the lineage to Jesus Christ. The story of Esther is one of grace and favor, but it doesn’t go without saying that she had a heart for God and a heart for her people.

There are no orphans of God, we are all accounted for – Jesus said, “But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.”

In the Prolife movement, I am Esther, you are Esther. We seek to free the children of Israel – all unborn children – every day through prayer, supplication and legislation.

“For how can I bear to see the calamity that is coming to my people? Or how can I bear to see the destruction of my kindred?” Esther 8:6, ESV

We are still trying to save the children of Israel, just like Esther, one unborn child at a time. Just as Haman in the Book of Esther sought to exterminate the Jews, today through the sin of abortion Haman still seeks our children, and he’s succeeding.

Queen Esther was victorious saving the children of Israel but we are still fighting the fight of abortion trying to save our unborn children. Women have usurped the authority of God to take command of their bodies:

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, ESV

We are not our own, our bodies are not our own. We are God’s…and so is every unborn child, without exception. Be an Esther, and save our children.

“Now we’re Prolife.”

That was a statement from a man that has been a born-again Christian and has gone to the same church for the last 30 years. To my ears it sounded like “NOW we’re prolife even though we’ve been Christians forever.” How did the issues of Life and abortion not cross your mind until now, I wanted to ask.

Dumbfounded, nearly speechless I listened to the rest of his story. There are two morals to this story so I’ll try not to confuse as I go.

He said that he became Prolife because of his daughter. She was ill with Cystic Fibrosis and became pregnant. Of course the doctor told her that she could die if she carries the baby to term. She went to her parents and told them that she was going to have her baby anyway. But her parents were scared to death that they would lose their daughter.

Being in the middle of whose life was more important; they thought that abortion would be a way to keep their daughter from dying prematurely.

She had her baby and three years later she died. Her son is now being raised by his grandparents. Of course now they know what the right answer was but my issue is this: His church did NOT do its job in this situation. There would have never been a question on what to do if his church preached a LIFE message on a regular basis…And how sorry I am to report that most churches do not preach a LIFE message.

Denominational churches usually do not teach or preach on LIFE and abortion except some of the Catholic Church. I say some of them because I was once Catholic and I don’t recall hearing a LIFE message…but maybe that was just my church?

Non-denomination Christian churches are the only churches that will preach a LIFE message but sadly, hardly any do. Most churches find the subject of abortion to be too uncomfortable to preach about. But what most churches, large and small, do not know is that about 43% of ALL women 45 years old and under are Post Abortive. These women and MEN are sitting in their church and no one is ministering to them or preaching about LIFE and forgiveness.

Most of these non-denominational and denominational churches are way too busy being relevant with the world instead of what Christians are called to do, “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” What is more ‘unclean’ that the slaughter of unborn children?

Here’s those morals I promised…

Moral #1: A Born-Again Christian had to wonder if abortion was the answer. It should have never been a question in the first place.

Moral #2: Most churches are not preaching and teaching a LIFE message.

It is my goal and purpose to take the message of LIFE to any church that will let me. Church, you need to hear the Message of LIFE.

Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

As we walk the halls of our lives and ministries, meandering without seeing, we think we have no effect on those our ministries focus on. Those of us in Ministry want instant results, just like anyone else. We use our eyes way too often and forget to open our bibles and hearts to an immutable God that will guide us to those that need LIFE saving Salvation and encouragement.

Truth is what everyone seeks; truth about whom we are, truth about where we’re going, truth about LIFE. Is there an end to the whirlwind? Is there peace? Is there an absolute TRUTH?

In everyone’s day-to-day LIFE, we tend to focus on what is negative because it’s what we SEE with our eyes. We ‘see’ what is set before us with our eyes only – it’s our perception and discernment that needs to be honed:

“I am the way, the truth, and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” John 14:6-7

Without perception, how could we come to know Him? And without discernment, how can we have truth in Him?

In Prolife ministry like KeepLifeLegal, we know that to save unborn babies, we have to try to change the heart of the mother and the abortionist to accept that LIFE is from God, not by accident. In evangelistic ministry, much is the same; to be saved you have to change your heart and accept Jesus Christ as Savior.

Pastors and Ministers: Today you may help change or save someone else’s LIFE, or maybe they’ll surprise you and change yours.

 

The Mulligan

Did you know that God gives every person, EVERY PERSON, the opportunity to repent? NO ONE is so bad that they cannot be forgiven by God. So, every minute of every day God has given us ‘space’ to repent of our sin. That even means us, the post-abortive woman.

Jezebel was an enigma; she was incredibly intelligent and beautiful but literally used those attributes for evil, not for good. She was a false prophet, followed ‘other’ gods, murdered and encouraged others to fall away from God – which is the biggest sin of all, keeping anyone from salvation.

Even Jezebel was given every chance to repent:

“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.”

The sins of Jezebel were so important to God that he mentioned it in the Book of Revelation that we may see ourselves in her and repent before its too late. Because of Jezebel’s sin and her abhorrence of God, He made her death as heinous as her hatred of Him; “And concerning Jezebel the LORD also spoke, saying, ‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’”

We live most of our lives in regret of one kind or another. Everyone would like to turn back time to fix a wrong. In fact, God literally turned back time only once – for Hezekiah, King of Judah (2Kings 20:8-11)…a sign of God’s great Mercy.

But did God turn back time only once?

God gave us His Son Jesus Christ as a Sacrifice for sins we have yet to commit and for those that we regret every day. God gives us a chance to say yes to Jesus so we can be made clean from sin – every sin.

Our struggle isn’t just the ‘daily grind’, it’s a grim reminder that we choose to remember the past daily and assume the same thing will happen anyway. This struggle is for the benefit of the demons in hell, not to glorify God:

Lamentations 3:22-24, “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.”

We get our mulligan – our ‘do over’, if we want it…just say yes to Jesus.

What about LIFE in the Universe?

I am a deep thinker or maybe even a ponderer of things not usually thought of. I don’t require much, just the palette that the Lord gave me – His Holy Word.

How big is God?

God made everything…EVERYTHING. Scientists, philosophers and figure-heads have tried since the beginning of time to build a case against God being the Creator of Life and the universe. What a daunting task trying to unseat God!

Can a person assume to understand God’s completeness? Would a mere human understand that the Greatest Story ever told needed a beginning and end, not just the juicy middle that everyone only conveniently remembers? If you cannot grasp the beginning and end, then you cannot assume to understand the vastness of God and LIFE.

In the ‘known’ universe, there are thus far 70 sextillion stars…that’s 21 zeros after 70. The most current estimates guess that there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the Universe; it’s been estimated that about 10% of stars have planets which would mean about 20 billion solar systems in our galaxy alone.

This is where men like Stephen Hawking comes along; trying to unseat God by giving us the ‘Big Bang’ THEORY….everything is here by some kind of extraordinary accident. What God has created with His immeasurable love has been deemed an accident.

We are by no means AN ACCIDENT. God cannot make accidents otherwise He would not be perfect. While we ponder Life and its beginning, middle and end, there is Jesus who God gave us to show us our imperfections, that were are teachable, and that we are eternal with Him if we choose to be.

Truly, Life is quite simple. We have the vastness of the universe to show us how important we are to God to have something so incredible. And, we have Jesus, who God gave us to prove His compassion, not His dispassion:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Deception is in the eye of the beholder

Still, even after all these years, I am in awe of what God has done in my life.

Years ago, I was a progressive democrat that sought to undo the world of its hold on religion and its forced morality on the world. I was of a mind that everyone evolved into a so-called salvation so that everyone went to Heaven because a good God wouldn’t make a place like hell, anyway. Back then I believed in gay rights and abortion, I believed that all religions were good and came to the same God, and I believed that anyone that didn’t feel my way would be dangerously close to being classified as a mongrel hater that deserved prison.

On a mid December day in 2001, I was introduced to Jesus Christ. In an instant too small to measure, I knew that all I thought I knew was wrong about nearly everything; I had been deceived my entire life to believe anything from anyone that had a bunch of initials behind their name.

I really didn’t know what to do about this salvation I now had, so I picked up the Bible and started to read. I learned so much about how wrong I was but it was liberating. First thing I ‘got’ was that my Salvation was NOT by accident nor is there any other road to God but through Jesus Christ. I also learned that homosexuality is an abomination to God and should be to me – What cannot fulfill the plan of God is NOT of God nor the will of God.

Then one day, years and years after my own abortion, God let me in on a little secret…that ‘what’ I had aborted was a living human being. That simple fact was more than I could ever bear…I killed my own child.

Deception is in the eye of the beholder. Too many women and men either don’t believe abortion kills a child or they choose not to. I find that all too often people get along in life believing what they need to believe in to survive or to benefit from it. I know I did.

I am beleaguered by people that somehow benefit from killing unborn children, and not just the abortion providers. I’m talking about legislators and the clergy that espouse ‘choice’. The Bible says we cannot serve two masters – how can Republicans and the Church be pro-choice? Only God knows that answer, but I assure you of one thing: God may allow this folly (and others) but He is also giving them the grace and mercy to come back to the truth and repent…it’s called ‘free will’.

So, while I came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and realized that I had to repent and be forgiven, so do others that thumb their nose at God. If people really knew God by reading His Word – I’m talking to the Church here – then we wouldn’t have churches teaching their congregations to embrace homosexuality, to kill our unborn and accept all religions as the way to God and Heaven instead of Jesus, as is the PLAN OF GOD.

Truly, as a nation, most people in the Church and the Government is deceived to their own specifications for their own benefit. God did not give us a plan too hard to follow or understand. Simply, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Questioning the existence of the Gay Church

In the city in which I live, there was a ‘pride’ parade this past Saturday. It was typical; drag queens in their best dresses and false eyelashes, rainbows everywhere, same-sex couples with their ‘kids’, in-your-face signs to incite anger to rage, straights nodding in approval ‘because they ain’t hurtin’ nobody’. Now, the conservative Republican in me says ‘Get out of my government’…but the Minister that I am says ‘WAIT A MINIUTE…..was that gay man carrying a CROSS???’

Yes, he was. Did you know there are over 234 known ‘gay churches’ in the state of Ohio (only 11 in MS)? Most of these ‘churches’ are from denominations that are known for espousing the Gay Agenda and the Abortion Agenda; United Methodists, Presbyterians, United Church of Christ, Episcopals, United Campus Ministries, Lutheran, Catholic, MCC…but a Quaker, Baptist and Mennonite church? WOW. That’s bad enough but these churches are teaching children in Sunday school and youth groups. It’s one thing to do something stupid enough to make God use the word ‘abomination’, but indoctrinating innocent, ignorant children in church and in school of your perversion?

There is no question that some of Gay America believe themselves to be Christians. Not too far from where I live there is a ‘church’ that is ‘pastored’ (yes, I said that sarcastically) by two men professing to be married to each other WITH CHILDREN. That being said, when others see this debacle, they believe it to be correct because these men call themselves Reverend. NOTHING can be further from the truth.

“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans*, which I also hate.” Revelation 2:4-6, NKJV

The abomination of homosexuality has been taught from Genesis through Revelation. The Gay Church instead tries to compartmentalize sin to make THE sin of homosexuality redeemable: ‘Is this relationship based on, and operating in, My love or not?’ (gaychurch.org). God hates the SIN of homosexuality (THE BIBLE), it goes against everything He has ever created. What the homosexual community does is emulate straight relationships and families to blend into what they truly want: to be normal. To be normal, ‘Christian’ LGBT’s has to give up their grievous sin and go back to the first love, fellowship with Jesus Christ.

Jesus said we cannot serve two masters (Matt 6:24); you cannot be gay and a Christian – it is impossible. Chapter 1 of the book of Romans says very clearly that ‘the men left the natural use of a woman’ committing what is shameful. Thus, ‘knowing the righteous judgment of God’ they have chosen what is ‘deserving of death’ (separation from God) as well as those that nod in approvement of such vile things.

This so-called Gay Church is dangerous; it sucks in grieving LGBT’s and their families as well as the local, approving community and progressive legislators. The Corinthian Church struggled with much sin and immorality that defiled the Church:

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1Corinthians 6:9-10, NKJV

*The Nicolaitans taught Israel ‘to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality’; a group of anti-law practitioners who supported a freedom that became self-indulgence particularly in sexual laxity including all forms of immorality including homosexuality. Incredibly but not surprisingly, the Nicolaitans were of a Gnostic sect.

 

I HATE ABORTION.

I hate that I was forced to abort by someone I trusted. I hate that I was lied to by my family, friends and the abortionist. I hate that I have to carry this around like an albatross around my neck until the day I die.

I hated myself.

How can anyone get past what is already in the past? The only thing that defeats hate is forgiveness:

‘Then said Jesus, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.’ Luke 23:34

I learned this 30 years after my abortion. That is way too long to hate my coercers and myself. I finally concluded that they really did not know what they were doing because all they saw was a ‘fix’ to a temporary problem…everyone involved had an agenda to take my unborn baby because it benefitted them. To them it was all about the money; it was cheaper to force me to abort than to buy diapers and formula. But for me, I get to keep a vivid memory of destroying an innocent Life.

God forced me to make a decision; accept and forgive OR hate. Once I accepted what happened and forgave, my future was placed before me.

Ministry is a hard thing but its reward is worth it. Ministry forces you to look inward all the time for everything. Every big or little thing that has happened to you is magnified so that you can see it now with spiritual eyes instead of the how the world sees it. Always remember that the world seeks to take your life, the Lord wants to give you Life eternal.

All that being said, the burden He gave me was obvious – to minister to women and men that are post-abortive AND to fight for the rights of the unborn in the Church and politically. God has given me a specific vision to go and spread this message of forgiveness, hope and love in His name.

Today, I am VICTORIOUS and post-abortive.

Men grieve.

I don’t often write about post-abortive fathers simply because I’m not one, but I do know men that are. Men are funny creatures; they keep a lot close to the vest, maybe because of shame or they really don’t know how to share something so personal they don’t understand; perhaps because their partner/spouse at the time of the abortion didn’t tell them until after the abortion? The latter happens much more than you’d think.

Abortion is supposed to be about and for women, right? According to the law, it is. But there was never an amendment to allow a man to be in the decision making process and that was by design. Women wanted to be more powerful than men being able to hold their unborn child hostage.

A famous rock star ‘came out’ about the abortion he and his girlfriend had back in the ‘70’s. If I read it correctly, it was a saline abortion which is maybe the most heinous way to end a life, “You go to the doctor and they put the needle in her belly and they squeeze the stuff in and you watch. And it comes out dead. I was pretty devastated.” He knew it was a son. Apparently he witnessed this awful thing and he suffered with post-traumatic stress for years. I can let you know this: Abortion is something one never forgets. Ever.

Some of us mark that tragic event with alcohol or drugs or whatever even though the “American Psychiatric Association assures us abortion is a safe procedure with no negative effects on a man’s or a woman’s mental health.” (National Review, 5/4/11)

Post-abortive men and women can’t make sense of the fragments of their lives and when you have ‘experts’ calling us liars, it moves you further and further into the hole that’s been dug for you by Roe v. Wade and Hell itself. We deal with propaganda from the ‘abortion agenda’ daily and I TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

King David grieved for his child that died as a result of sin, “And he said, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who can tell whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” 2Samuel 12:22-23, NKJV

David had comfort in knowing he would see his child again one day in Heaven. It was his reassurance that God did love him and his child and that His Will is Perfect.

The post-abortive man feels less of a man because he can’t control the loss of a child or the decision he made for his partner/spouse. What he needs to do is understand that his child is nestled with the Father. Since the loss of my child through abortion, I have not been comforted with booze or any other deliberate sin although I tried. But I am comforted by God’s forgiveness and that my child is with Him…and I will see her one day because of God’s mercy.

Joy will come in the morning.

Minutes become hours, hours become days, days become months, months become years. My abortion, even after 33 years, will never leave my thoughts. My journey with this abominable decision has been up and down, mostly down until I came to know Jesus Christ as Lord. Until that day in December of 2001 I was under the convictions of my own mind, inspired by the pit of Hell. Satan demanded my life; Jesus demanded only my belief in His finished Work at the Cross. I found that to be much more palatable than an eternity of a living Hell.

‘For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for LIFE; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.’ Psalm 30:5, NKJV

But can my sin be forgiven? Not only has my sin(s) been forgiven but they have been forgotten! My sin will never be held against me ever again! Jesus died for ALL of my sins, not just the wimpy ones.

I have days where I honestly wonder if I will ever get over my own sin. I sometimes can’t seem to put one foot in front of the other and hate getting up in the morning. Abortion always has at least two victims. My child is in Glory, thank God – but I’m still here baring the offense. But God is good!! His promises are sure.

‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.’ Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV

I am the Woman at the Well, going about my daily grind thinking about a life I can’t get out of the way of. It seems like a path that is set out for me, it’ll be all that I know. But Jesus is at the Well waiting for me…ME!! I am a sinful woman that has only known an idolatrous religion and lived life like it didn’t matter. But Jesus is at the Well waiting for ME!! Look at me…I’m so unworthy. But Jesus is at the Well waiting for ME!! And I will exalt Him to my peers and neighbors for He is good and He forgives ME!!!

I am restored because I know Jesus – but I need a shot in the arm now and then, I am human and I do grieve and hurt for what I did in my old life. I go to my Bible and read the Promises that God has given me because I believe in Him and not a world that still seeks to destroy me.

I thank God for his Mercy and His Son, Jesus Christ – my Lord.

‘Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.’ Psalm 106:1, NKJV
