“A TIME TO SPEAK”

ABORTION

What are our thoughts concerning the subject of abortion. Pro-Life or ProChoice as our Choices and/or actions has consequences whichever it may be.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”Galatians 6:7

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Due 30:19

The arguments upon this subject can be very controversial as one can see depending on who we  may have the conversation with. Whether it be a pro-choice or a Pro-life individual or anyone who may find this subject a bit difficult to express as each one has his or her own personal view concerning the subject. The crucial question that we must ask rest upon and remains “DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE A LIFE? Or Any life for that matter?

If an individual being under the law (God’s natural Law), a non-believer, an anti-God, an atheist or anyone who does not read God’s words or have the fear of God in them. When we have to have a conversation with such individuals mention above. We have to have an understanding that they may not have the conscience to fully understand that their argument of their “rights”and their “pro-choice” means that they are advocating to have the “rights” to “choose” to terminate their own offsprings. So keep in mind that this is the mindset that we are dealing with when we approach certain individuals who has a totally different view, spirits, concepts and understandings of such subject. The abortion subject remains in their minds, in their understandings, and in their thinking as it is “Their own rights” or “personal choice” in other words “Pro-choice” to do to a life as they please for the reason of just because it is inconvenient to them; But they also forget that there are laws that are written in the United States that if a person take a child’s life he/she will be prosecuted for murder for taking a life. So there is the conflicting of the laws in America that we must determine to understand how can one say and advocate that they have a “right” to terminate a life “their offspring” when in the same country the laws also state that if anyone kills a child or take a life, that individual will be arrested and prosecuted for murder. The laws in our country is obviously not fair or balance in such a crucial matter of life and death of an individual no matter the size. But more crucial is with an unborn, it can not speak to defend itself, so the unborn have to fully rely on the mercy of the mother, the fairness of the law or the heart conviction of “an advocate of life” or “Pro-life” to speak for them and defend their “right to live” just as with any individual who have the same desire to live.

The weight and consequences of those who choose to terminates their unborn should not be put upon America and it’s citizens as a whole. Therefore each individual “Freedom to choose” should be on the backs of each individual and their states and should never be force as a federal law to put that weight of condemnation and judgement upon America and its  citizens as a whole. Although, as citizens of America, each one may have the rights to choose but the poor choices of certain individuals should not be a weight to put upon a nation and all its citizens. Each person in America has the same “right to choose” but Not all American choose to kill and terminate their young. So any abortion laws anyone try to set should NEVER be rule as “law of the land” when it is not the choices of all Americans.

“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” proverbs 16:25.

Therefore, for those who believes in the word of God and those acknowledge and fear the law which is set by God will not be able to reason with an individual who is a non-Believer, an anti-God, an atheist or anyone who does not read God’s words or have the fear of God in them. For the reason that their mindset or logical thinking is not able to understand God’s law and will not be able to comprehend what is right or what is wrong because the laws and ways of God is foreign to them. There is no reasoning with such individuals. They don’t know God, His words, or His ways so that any conversation or discussion about the subject of abortion will always results in the disagreement,  uncomfortable and unreasonable argumentative conflict among the differences of thoughts and mind of knowledge or lack of knowledge of the importance and severity of “IF ONE HAS ANY RIGHTS TO TAKE A LIFE”, much less an innocent voiceless life who can’t defend for itself.

NOW….. If we will focus on Christians. For those who are of the house of God. Those who live by the Spirit of God and by the word of God: And Also those Who proclaimed to be Christians or believers in Christ who follows His ways. We are held accountable of every aspect of our life’s choices and decisions to be that of Christ like minded, heart and spirit; we are to know His ways and His heart desire for His children. We can’t say that we don’t know or that we don’t understand all the ways of God.  As we, being flesh (human), are able  to try our best to teach our children right from wrong. So will the Holy Father teaches us if we would desire to seek to know His ways.  It is inexcusable if we  don’t search to understand Gods hearts then we will fall for the lies and deceptions of the world and will conform to their mindset and will label it “acceptable behaviors” then we will find ourselves under God’s corrections, warnings, and wrath.  “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6

If we lack the willingness to seek to understand Gods ways then we can’t say it is “Our choice” but rather “WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT TAKING A LIFE” as it is written in the commandments of God “Thou Shall Not Kill”. In the book of Roman 12:2 says “2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

We as children of God no longer can operate with our “own” mind, choice, thought, will or desire because when we accepted Christ as our Savior; we are now children of God and belong to the Father in heaven . All of our choices and decisions should be that of what would reflects the will and purpose of God our Father in heaven. For Jesus has declared and revealed who the Father is in the scripture as “He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. “ Mark 12 27. For life and death belongs to God alone Who has the sole power to give and/or  take as He please. It is most definitely Not a choice for any human to decide weather one can terminate or take a life under the disguise as “Pro-choice”. When we, as a human, take such an approach as to give ourselves such authoritative power to take another human’s life then we will put ourselves under the wrath and judgement of God which is written in the scriptures that applies to all aspects of life and nature.

“22If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, 24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” Exodus 21:22-25.

Therefore one must choose very carefully and wisely with great discernment in what we may think as what is our “rights” or “choices” to do as we please and not consider that their are consequences with every choice or action that we choose weather it be good or evil. We, as a created human being” can’t play god and give ourselves such authoritative power to decide whether we can take a life of that which power and authority belongs solely to God the Creator Himself Who created all and gives life to all.

“A TIME TO SPEAK”

As children of the most high God, at times we must be strong and trust God in all things , even the un-popular decisions to stand against the odds and against the fear of what other may say and voice what is righteously necessary for those who God, in scriptures, make know to us to stand up and take a stand for those who are voiceless and those who cannot defend themselves. We can not walk the fence and play safe during a time of testing and trials to reveal the intentions of our hearts and thoughts. For we cannot escape the thorough evaluations of the Spirit concerning the innermost thoughts that we have yet spoken but yet are convicted by the Spirit of God because we have not fully understanding His will. If we are to face life and death this day what must be our final choice? The scripture tell us we must choice life for God is The God of the living and  as scripture even expressed  strongly concerning life “ I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: “ Due 30:19.

Take Up the Cross

24Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26

“A time to keep silence, and a time to speak” Ecclesiastic 3:7

“Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Psalm 31:8-9

But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” Luke 19:40

Fasting that Pleases God

(Isaiah 58)

1“Cry aloud, spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins.

2Yet they seek Me daily,
And delight to know My ways,
As a nation that did righteousness,
And did not forsake the ordinance of their God.
They ask of Me the ordinances of justice;
They take delight in approaching God.

3‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and You have not seen?
Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?’
“In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure,|
And [b]exploit all your laborers.

4Indeed you fast for strife and debate,
And to strike with the fist of wickedness.
You will not fast as you do this day,
To make your voice heard on high.

5Is it a fast that I have chosen,
A day for a man to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush,
And to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Would you call this a fast,
And an acceptable day to the Lord?

6“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?

7Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?

8Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

9Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

10If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your darkness shall be as the noonday.

11The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

12Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

13“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,

14Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
The mouth of the Lord has spoken.
