Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

            Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was leading Israel at that time." Judges 4:4. The times were bad, with most of Israel doing evil in the sight of the Lord and suffering oppression by a Canaanite king for twenty years. But finally, "the people cried to the Lord for help," Judges 4:3 and He sent Deborah.

            Deborah knew it was time to speak out and encourage the men to follow the Lord. Her courage and boldness were communicated to the men and the "Lord routed Sisera (the enemy commander) and all his chariots and army by the sword." Verse 15.

            Before Deborah spoke out, many might have said, "Where are the brave men of Israel? Today, before you began to speak out, many might say, "Where are the men of the church? Where are their voices for Life? Where were the men who should have protected us when we were pregnant with our children?"

            I believe 2012 is going to be the final year of preparation for the great coming out of darkness in 2013. There are abortion cases moving through the system that will reach the Supreme Court in late 2012 or 2013 for decisions on abortion in 2013.

            As a Deborah, your bold strong voice is calling our nation, and the men of the church to stand up for Life and family. I recently attended a national men's ministry summit and was allowed to speak about abortion.  5 out of 9 men at my table confessed and repented of their abortions. Two were weeping. One said "Not a day goes by I don't think about it."

JANUARY 22, 2012

            Wherever you are on January 22, join us in spirit in prayer calling forth the wailing women. We will be on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court from 10:00 a.m. to noon praying for a million women to eventually join us in Washington, D.C. to call for the end of Roe & Doe. If you are in D.C. then, join us there. If not, pray where you are.

            Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the wailing women, that they may come! "Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may shed tears and our eyelids flow with water. "For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion, 'How are we ruined! We are put to great shame, for we have left the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.'" Now hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of His mouth; teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor a dirge. For death has come up through our windows; it has entered our palaces to cut off the children from the streets, the young men from the town squares. Speak, "Thus says the LORD, 'The corpses of men will fall like dung on the open field, and like the sheaf after the reaper, but no one will gather them.'"

Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; 24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 9:17-24 NASB

            I believe if the American Church does not repent widely for the massive shedding of innocent blood we will soon see millions of Americans die.

            In 1992, when the prolife movement had five votes on the Supreme Court to reverse Roe and Doe, 750,000 or so women marched on the Supreme Court saying, "We won't go back." Justice Kennedy changed his mind and wrote in effect that "women had come to rely on abortion, so even if it was wrongly decided, we can't change it now."

            Now, because of hearing the voices of Sandra Cano and 180 Women of Operation Outcry Hurt by Abortion on April 18, 2007, and having filed 1,000 of your affidavits with the Court earlier, Justice Kennedy is poised to change his mind again. He is asking in effect, "How many women are hurt by abortion? How big is this problem?" The battle is raging with the pro-death side arguing women are not hurt by abortion any more than by bringing an unplanned pregnancy to birth.

            We need a million voices to counter this lie. Please pray for them to come forth and tell women to continue fill out the declaration online.

MARCH 21-APRIL 6, 2012

            The Back to Life Movement is mobilizing 39 mostly post-abortive women to prayer walk from Houston in front of the largest abortion facility in the Western Hemisphere to the Dallas, Texas federal courthouse where Roe v. Wade was first decided.

            Would you pray about whether you are to join all or part of this prayer walk, especially April 6, the conclusion on Good Friday in Dallas?

            Finally, I call you "Deborah" because your courage to speak out leads others to come forth and join the fight.

            Your courage has inspired me to continue when I have felt ready to give up. Your tears have inspired me to persevere when I want to quit. We will only lose if we give up because Truth and Justice are on our side.

            We will win if we do not grow weary in doing good.

            God bless you and may He prosper your soul, your family, and your work and spirit throughout 2012!

                                                                                    In Him,
