Darlene and Danielle Wibeto, authors of “Justice Loves Babies.”

During the National Education Association (NEA) annual meeting in New Orleans July 1–3, teachers received free copies of a Justice Loves Babies, a wonderful pro-life book. Five hundred copies were distributed at the Teachers Saving Children booth at the NEA Expo, and the authors were on hand to greet the teachers and sign their book.

“It was a huge blessing,” said Darlene Wibeto, who wrote the book with her sister Danielle. “We were put in a place where a lot of people weren’t pro-life. We had some people refuse to take it, saying they don’t want a controversial book in their classroom, but most people were excited about getting a free book.”

The Wibeto sisters, along with illustrator Sarah Atkinson, have produced a truly touching book that shows a child’s love and protectiveness for his unborn little sister. In words and images that children can understand, it expresses the gentle message that all life is precious. Pro-lifers were thrilled to meet the sisters at NRL Conventions in 2008 and 2009.

A board member of Teachers Saving Children, which is dedicated to establishing a respect for all human life, especially among professional educators’ organizations, heard about Justice Loves Babies and suggested that it be included at the group’s exhibit booth at the NEA annual meeting. Since each exhibit item had to be approved by the pro-abortion NEA, the group was pleasantly surprised that the book passed muster.

“With God’s help over a 2½ day period, our exhibit puts the facts and the wonder of human development before the largest assembly of decision-making educators in this nation,” said Connie Bancroft, executive director of Teachers Saving Children. “I knew that it would be a miracle from God for this book to be approved since in the past none of our materials had even one reference to the word ‘abortion.’”

Darlene and Danielle joined Teachers Saving Children at the booth and received encouraging words from some teachers who praised them for standing up for life. “We had a lot of teachers behind us,” said Darlene. “They said they would do anything they could to get it into their school libraries.”

The members of Teachers Saving Children have persevered with their mission despite the opposition of pro-abortion teachers. “With the wide diversity of the individuals who attend the NEA Expo, reception of our exhibit was mixed,” Connie Bancroft explained. “Those who did visit our exhibit were very gracious and thanked us for being there. Individuals were surprised that we were giving the book as well as other materials free to those who were interested.”

The Wibeto sisters were very happy with their experience and the opportunity to bring Justice Loves Babies to a wider audience. “The most amazing thing is knowing that it’s going to be put in the hands of children,” Darlene said. “They can learn about where life begins. We’re so excited about having it go into public schools, to have our book go out and be a light to the world.”

Article Originally Published on National Right To Life News

It was on that very day in 2004 that a large group of young people gathered to pray silently with Lou Engle in front of the Supreme Court and contend in prayer for the ending of abortion. The red “LIFE tape” covered their mouths just as it had been revealed to the team in a dream after 50 days of round-the-clock prayer and fasting. After seeing this in front of the Court a national pro-abortion leader approached one of our team and said, “What you’re doing is brilliant strategy.”

They were right. In just under six years the image of the red LIFE Tape has spread around the globe. Young people praying silently in front of courthouses and abortion clinics have been featured in pretty much every newspaper, magazine and news program out there. Political leaders have spoken to us of the power of seeing the red LIFE Tape. Insiders at the Supreme Court have told us that the Judges talk about us. In February of this year, God divinely moved around our DC team of young people praying in red LIFE Tape so that President Obama had to pass within 10 feet of them twice in one hour. Who knows how many lives have been saved because of the prayers offered in love in front of abortion facilities? What did Planned Parenthood think on January 17 when we surrounded their new Abortion Supercenter with 4,200 young people praying?

Our conviction is that this is a kairos moment of time for our nation. The enemy is raging against the miraculous turn of our culture to pro-life since 2008. Taxpayer-funded abortion threatens to be mainstreamed into the veins of America through the Health Care Bill passed in March even though the majority of Americans are against it. If allowed to stand as is, it will be the greatest expansion of the abortion industry since Roe v Wade. I say “IF” because the tables could yet turn. Something could still take place in the elections or Congress or the Supreme Court that could reverse the disaster before the money begins to be distributed in 2014. We must press in prayer NOW. We can’t afford to wait until later or simply wait to see how it all turns out. History belongs to the intercessor!

We need your help right now. For the most part our team is able to sustain our frugal Bound4LIFE operations through missions support and the sale of Life Bands. However, we’ve entered into a mid-year crunch time when the ends don’t meet. I am asking for your URGENT HELP. Would you prayerfully consider helping us financially right now at this pivotal movement? Right when the Senate is poised to confirm one of the most liberal and political activist Judges in recent history to the Supreme Court, it is vital that we maintain our strong stand to resist the abortion agenda on every front. All donations are tax-deductible and will go immediately towards mobilization efforts here in DC and throughout America.

God Cares about abortion, shouldn’t we? Since 1973, when abortion was legalized in America, one out of three pregnancies has ended in an abortion. A horrifying peril is upon us and yet we remain negligent of the great atrocity of abortion in our land. Abortion, the practice of ending a pregnancy by killing the small baby in the womb, is totally contrary to God’s Word. As Bible believing Christians we must gain a proper understand of how God sees this great injustice of abortion.

A collaborative for Christian Pro-Life Groups to unite, re-ignite and stand together as we choose to fight for the cause of pre-born babies. This will be a time of strategizing, planning, discussions and dialogues about how we can cooperatively end abortion in our region. Question and Answer, Dialogue, and Teaching Sessions. Christian Pro-Life Groups are invited to bring information.

7:00—10:00 PM Worship & Prayer

A night of teaching, intercession, and worship as we stand in the gap for the nation, for the state of California, and for our own cities. Ezekiel 22:30 “”I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.”

Mr. McKinley’s article on “Why Abortion is Biblical” is a perfect example of scripture being twisted and misused to prove a stance on immorality, and a posture that is anything less than
wicked. So before we dismantle this heretical argument, I would like to give you a crash course on Bible interpretation. This is an important subject for the saints of God, who are to have
a love of the Truth in there hearts. Paul admonishes Timothy to know how to right discern between teachers of false doctrines, and those who would teach and lead men astray through
deceitful words. In 2 Timothy 2:15 Paul says:

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

In other words, when Paul says “approved” he is stating that taking a back seat, or pleading ignorance about the scriptures is not acceptable. Three terms in this crash course are:

Hermeneutics
Exegesis
Eisogesis

Hermeneutics: The science of Bible interpretation

The Bible has different types of literature in it like the Psalms or the Major and minor Prophet writings. A Psalm is interpreted differently than a Historical account, and prophecies
would be interpreted different than the books of the Law. One of the first rules of Bible Hermeneutics is the law of context. This law is set that when you read a passage, it bares relation
to the surrounding verses. Now if I was to quote a line of scripture such as- “…Judas through the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hung himself, …go and do
likewise!” The reader will probably walk away with a sad view of scripture and no hope. Now these are two separate verses from from two completely separate parts of scriptures cut and put
together to produce a horrible passage. To correctly understand the law of context you must read the surrounding chapter(s) and verse(s) to identify what the author is trying to convey in
the message. The first part about Judas is from Matthew 27:5, which is the account of Judas’ guilt about his apostasy, and betrayal of Jesus resulting in his suicide. The latter portion
stating “go and do likewise” is an excerpt from Luke 10:37, where Jesus is talking to one of the scribes about the parable of the good Samaritan.

Exegesis: The analysis of the historical intention of the writer to the reader.

Exegesisis an important tool of Bible interpretation that lays down the parameter that the original meaning of the text is the only true meaning of the text. So when scripture refers to
Jesus being born of a virgin birth, Jesus was literally born of a virgin birth. Another example of an exegesis of scripture would be of the book of Joel, and that when there is an army
referred in the second chapter, it is a description of an actual army that is coming.

Eisogesis: Misinterpreting scripture by adding ones perspective that is not the true interpretation of the text. In other words, “I read a verse today, and this is what
it means to me…” This is the area that many people fall into, including Mr. McKinley.

The subject of Bible Interpretation is more detailed, and much, much broader than this crash course, but that is another article, another time…

Mr. McKinley starts off his argument stating “One sided. That’s the abortion stance of most Christians–one sided.”(1) I can’t really take this as a bad critique of most Christians’
because it’s true. What I mean is, God is one sided on this topic. His side. God has set parameters, and boundaries. In them are life, wisdom, peace for the mind and soul. There is fullness
of joy, and a beautiful inheritance when you find yourself with the guidelines of Gods’ word. The psalmist said “Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.”(2) His
word is what we hide and cling to, not so we can say that we have verses memorized, but so that we would not sin against God. That is the point, it is about Him. I have no shame in saying
God is narrow minded; I am thankful for His ways. As a result of those who are fully persuaded to following God, and keeping His precepts, a culture is created of like minded believers.
Brian McKinley states that there is overwhelming evidence in the Bible.(1) He is right, there is overwhelming evidence in the Bible that babies from conception are important to God. Brian
states that anti-abortion Christians support their view, by way of a few verses, which he does not believe is the proper interpretation.(1) The first verse quoted (McKinley does not give
book/chapter/verse reference too) is from Exodus 20:13- “Thou shalt not kill.” To this verse, McKinley asks if it is murder to kill a fetus, which leads to his next question of “is a fetus
a full-term human person?” The answer is yes, but McKinley is thinks not, and proceeds to attack Psalm 139:13-16(1)

“13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul
knoweth right well.15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being
unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. “

Brian recognizes God’s hand in the creation of man, but does not believe that a fetus is of the same value as man when God created Adam. That the fetus is only on the level a created
living thing, until it is outside of the womb. Then is becomes man.

“According to Genesis, God was involved in the creation of every living thing, and yet that doesn’t make every living thing a full human person. In other words, just because God
was involved in its creation, it does not mean terminating it is the same as murder. It’s only murder if a full human person is destroyed.”-Brian McKinley(3)

Brian’s thinking is totally flawed and contrary to what Scripture teaches. The creation of man was completely different in the process than the rest of creation. Man according to Genesis
1 and 2, was made in the likeness of God, and formed out of the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into man,and called him Adam. Eve was the helpmate God made for Adam, and
He spoke purpose into them, and blessed them. He told them to be fruitful and to multiply. The rest of creation was not made into the likeness of God, nor did he give it the blessing that
He gave Adam and Eve.

Mr. McKinley, then argues that Psalm 139 was used out of context by anti-abortion Christians, to build a “stand-alone doctrinal statement.” This is truly not the case. Psalm 139 is, and
has been a part of Judeo-Christian liturgy. It is also contains orthodoxies about Gods’ attributes, such as His Omniscience, His Immutability, His Omnipresence, His sovereignty, and so
forth. The writer of the Psalm uses “I am”, “me”, which is personification, and a reference to having identity, and purpose. The writer does not refer to himself in the womb as just a blob!
But special to God. McKinley then teaches that the Psalms are songs and not to be taken literal. He describes how the writer of most of the songs, being King David, was swayed by different
emotions and wrote what he was feeling at the time. This is classic example of eisogesis. The Psalms like the rest of the Bible can be interpreted with Hermeneutics and Exegesis to
determine what is literal, and what is not. A prime example is Psalm 22, which is a literal, and non literal prophecy about Jesus’ crucifixion. Verse 6 states, “I am a worm…” which we
know historically, and naturally that Jesus was not a physical worm. But is a metaphor of His life to be crushed as a worm for the staining of garments. Verses 7 and 8 are actual sayings
that the mockers said to Jesus while being crucified on Golgotha. Once again this was to describe the Psalms using literal and non literal excerpts. Brian McKinley brings up 2 Kings 2 to
further his point of the danger of using certain verses out of context. 2 Kings 2 is the event of Elisha receiving the mantle of Elijah, and then proceeding to bless Jericho’s water source.
When leaving Jericho, Elisha the prophet of God was mocked by 42 young men. The prophet called a curse upon them, and two female bears came and killed them. The Hebrew word for “young men”
is Neurim Qetannim, which refers to an age group of 12 to 30 years old. These are not ignorant young men, who were innocently cursed by a “bitter and cruel” prophet. He uses Song of Songs
to again make the point, and importance of context. If only he used this rule when reading and interpreting the whole of other Scriptures. Jeremiah 1 is another scripture that Brian
McKinley is unsatisfied with the interpretation of anti abortion Christians. He claims that because this is a reference to the birth of a prophet, it can not therefore be used in
understanding that God can know someone before they were in the womb, and that anyone less than a prophet does not have divine purpose.

“This is a special event — the birth of a prophet. God brought the prophet Jeremiah into the world for a divine purpose, and because of that, God was planning Jeremiah’s life “before”
he was even conceived. God was preparing him to do miraculous things, such as speak on behalf of God while still a child and setting him up as an overseer of nations and kingdoms. ” – Brian
McKinley(4)

Throughout all of Scripture, God refers to generations, and generations being known by Him and and the importance of the seed of Abraham which He made covenant with. Psalm 8:3-4
says

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care
for him?

Now from here, Brian shifts the article to show how scriptures can be used in support of abortion. What is peculiar is that Brian acknowledges that the verses he uses are not only out of
context to support his title thesis, but he then proceeds to argue for them as a case for a pro abortion stance .(5) My only assumption for why Brian would do this, is because he has no
legitimate argument against the anti-abortion Christians, and more severely, that there is no love of the truth in his heart.

Brian states-

” In the full context of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon makes the point that much of life is futile.”(5)

This is a half truth, which does not help anyone who is in search of the full truth. The exegesis of Ecclesiastes is that King Solomon, had wisdom, wealth, and women; but he forsook his
first love. God. When a man has God, and turns to earthly goods, it will leave him spiritually bankrupt. So King Solomon concludes in the end of Ecclesiastes 12:13,14-

13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every
secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

So Mr. McKinley quotes Ecclesiastes 6:3-5-

3If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an
untimely birth is better than he. 4For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. 5Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any
thing: this hath more rest than the other.

Brian believes(?) this is a stance for having an abortion to ensure that a child will not have a “miserable life.”(6) The focus of the passage first of all is on the man who has many
children, and to live many years. The exegesis of this passage is that this man, is a success! He has many children to carry on his name, and lived a long life on the earth. But if his soul
is not filled with good, or if he were to pass away and no one was to notice, he benefited nothing. Jesus said in Mark 8:36-

“For what shall if profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul?”

Second the focus is declaring the reader to make a dichotomy between quality and existence. Solomon does not opt, for suicide if the man has no true quality in his life, nor does he
interject to kill a child in the womb. He uses the word miscarriage, which a miscarriege is an accident, and not that of intentional plucking and killing as an abortion is.

Ecclesiastes 4:1-3-

” 1So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their
oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. 2Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. 3Yea, better is he than both they,
which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.”

McKinley states-

“Here we have an argument for both euthanasia and abortion.”(6)

Nope, here we have a man arguing that a non existence is better than poor existence. Nowhere is there reference to a woman who is with child. The statement of euthanasia is shocking, and
that he uses verse 2 as his reference to euthanasia, is a stretch at best. McKinley states-,

“When quality of life is at stake, Solomon seems to make the argument that ending a painful life or ending what will be a painful existence is preferable.”(6)

This is just simply not what Solomon said. Solomons’ statement is between the dead, and those oppressed, and says that a non-existence is better than those who experience the tragedy of
life. Ecclesiastes does not end on such a negative note. The reader will find what the preacher, who is Solomon, declares what to be as the true quality and fulfillment in life.

The story of Job comes up in McKinley’s article on why abortion is Biblical. Job is a man who has the fear of the Lord, he has seven sons, three daughters, and is wealthy. He is caught
between the working of the devil and the sovereignty of God. Job looses everything at the hand of the enemy, and continues to worship God. Obviously the passage is much more in depth and
extravagant than how I have described it. McKinley takes the passage Job 3:2-4,11-19 and Job 10:18-19.

“2And Job spake, and said,3Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. 4Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it
from above, neither let the light shine upon it. “

“11Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? 12Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? 13For now should
I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, 14With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves; 15Or with princes that
had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 16Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. 17There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the
weary be at rest .18There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. 19The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. “

Job by chapter three, has lost his children, servants, cattle, and his house. As an act of mourning, Job rips his clothing, shaves his head, and pours dirt on his brow. Satan had
afflicted Job with boils, and so great was his agony that his three friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did not even recognize him! The three men rent their clothes, raised their voices
weeping, and poured dust on their heads. They sat on the ground with Job, in complete silence for seven days. Verse 3 of the third chapter is where Job speaks, cursing the day of his birth.
By chapter 10, Job has complained through chapters six and 7, and continues in chapter 9 and 10. Chapters 4, 5, and 8 are Job’s friends Eliphaz and Bildad admonishing and correcting Job,
counseling him to not counsel God! Job does not repent of his complaints or remarks. In chapter 38, God appears in a whirlwind, and rebukes Job for his dark counsel, and words without
knowledge. Job repents, and the Lord restores twice what was taken from him. McKinley states that Job’s words are a strong argument for quality of life over existence, and argues that it
can be used in a defense that abortion can improve life.(7) This type of thinking is called eugenics. And is not the case in any of the passages.

McKinley then takes a surprising neutral stance on the issue of abortion, implying that the Bible neither supports nor condemns abortion.(7) It is surprising to think that one can truly
believe that God could have such a neutral stance on what man does- when the Scriptures convey that God is ever mindful of man.

McKinley again shifts his argument to a Biblical support of abortion by referencing Exodus 21:22-23. He switches between translations, so I have provided below King James, New
International, and New American standard translations to try and get a better picture.

KJV
“22If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon
him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, 24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,25Burning for
burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. “

NIV

22 “If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely [e] but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and
the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise
for bruise. “

NAS
22″If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand
of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. 23″But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life,24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot
for foot, 25burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. “

First off, the passage speaks of an accident that makes the mother and/or the baby as the victim. This passage is not about abortion, because it is not a premeditative killing. Verse 22
gives a scenario of a struggle between two men, who amidst their struggle hit a woman who is pregnant. The word(s) that is in question is the translation of “depart” for KJV / “give birth
prematurely” which is the NIV, and NAS. The Hebrew word is “Yatsa”, or “Yasa”, which is also translated as “bear out”, “begotten”, “come out”, “spring out”, “risen”, “pluck out”, and more
depending upon the context.(10) It is used in translating the words “child birth”, “gave birth”, and “born.” The word does not denote death, as McKinley would have us to believe. He
incorrectly references the word “Yalad” which is interpreted as “young man” , “child”, or “offspring” to mean “coming out.”(8) McKinley translates the Scripture to be miscarriage, and if
this were to be true, by definition of miscarriage it does not mean that the child is dead, or aborted. Which then leaves us with the question of- “Is the reference of the injury to the
mother or the child?” Professor Archer of Old Testament and Semitic Studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, concludes:

�There is no ambiguity here, whatever. What is required is that if there should be an injury either to the mother or to her children, the injury shall be avenged by a like
injury to the assailant. If it involves the life (nepes) of the premature baby, then the assailant shall pay for it with his life. There is no second-class status attached to the fetus
under this rule; he is avenged just as if he were a normally delivered child or an older person: life for life. Or if the injury is less, but not serious enough to involve inflicting a like
injury on the offender, then he may offer compensation in monetary damages…� (9)

In Leviticus 27:6 McKinley says that a monetary value was placed on children.(12) That is wrong. This Scripture is a reference to the people of God who pledged to make a vow. They
believed when making vows that it should cost them. Vows were not just made on whim, and then forgotten.

Leviticus 27:1-6

” 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy
estimation. 3And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the
sanctuary. 4And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty
shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy
estimation shall be three shekels of silver. “

The same with Numbers 3:15 is a poor attempt to stir up something that is not there.(12)

Numbers 3:15

“15Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.”

This is not a passage stating that anyone younger than a month is sub-human. This is a passage about the priesthood of the Levites keeping watch over the sanctuary of the Lord. An infant
younger than a month would not be expected to be on the watch or charge of the sanctuary, and therefore not included in the counting of the male priests. Brian McKinley’s last argument is
to summarize that the neither the Jews’ or God view the fetus as a human.(12) This conclusion is drawn from Genesis 38:24.

Genesis 38:24

“24And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And
Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.”

First off Tamar does not get burnt at the stake, and gives birth to twins. Second, the decision to burn Tamar was Judah’s and not God’s. This event in Genesis is about Judah’s sin and
hypocrisy; This Scripture is not about if a fetus is human, or God’s Righteousness and Justice. Brian uses this passage, and declares that God views the fetus as sub human.(12) This
perception is a horrible conclusion, and solidifies that he has no argument. The Bible contains many events that are what you would call descriptive and prescriptive. Meaning in this event,
Judah’s actions were descriptive, they tell of what he did, the results, and how he responded. Therefore in this case:

Judah slept with his daughter in law Tamar, believing her to be a prostitute.

Judah finds that his Tamar to be pregnant with his child,(which he is not aware that the child is his.)

Judah declares Tamar to be burnt

Tamar exposes Judah’s sin.

The Scriptures not only reveal the heart of God for babies in the womb, but on the fact that abortion is a shedding of innocent blood. God is very opinionated about those he calls
innocent, and when their lives are being taken from them. He cares about our views on the womb, and about the blood that is being shed for sake of convenience.

Genesis 9:6

“6Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”

Psalm 106:37-40

“37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils. 38And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of
Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. 39Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. 40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled
against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.”

God is also not mute about what happens when blood is being poured out. Numbers 35:33-

“33So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed
it.”

2 Kings 21:16

“16Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in
the sight of the LORD.”

2 Kings 24:4

” 4And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.

Deuteronomy 21:1-5

” 1If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him. 2Then thy elders and thy judges shall
come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: 3And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city
shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; 4And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither
eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer’s neck there in the valley: 5And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him,
and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:”

Matthew 23:35

“35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and
the altar.”

But there is a greater blood that has been spilled in the land, and that is the blood of Jesus.

“There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.” -William Cowper

It is time to plead the blood of Jesus in the crisis of abortion. What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

-Joshua Gielow

Seeds of Intercession

God contends with those who contend against His people. Then He calls us to be a kingdom of priests who do what He is doing in this generation. Intercession is much more than an activity to which we devote two hours of our time each morning and evening. Intercession is much more than a current trend into which we take refuge for a season of time and then move along as the culture sways us. Intercession is the very reason and the very lifestyle for which we are all created. The purpose of this short piece of writing is to call to account and to bring to remembrance the primary vocation of every believer in Jesus. Even though it is our inheritance to go from glory to glory in the place of intercession, we more frequently than we should lose sight of our identity in Christ the Intercessor.

Secrets of Intercession

Secret of intercession #1 – Jesus Himself made it plain, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” In another place Jesus furthers expands on this, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”

Secret of intercession #2 – To go humbly before God and ask Him questions. You might for example ask God, “Oh Lord, how do I pray?” This is what the twelve disciples asked Him; should we do any differently? Another question which directly relates to revival and reformation is this: “Why has America’s opinion about the practice of abortion shifted from pro-choice to pro-life within the last year?” Several recent polls have all confirmed this to be true, yet why is this happening? Why is America changing her view about abortion? If this causes confusion to you because you think that abortion is just an issue² that isn’t worth worrying about, then you might want to ask these questions: ”God, what do you think about abortion? Should men and women have the right to choose if their child is going to be born?” Many across America have asked this very thing, have heard God answer clearly, and have gone forth in obedience to His unmistakable voice. In simple terms, we cannot enter into intercession unless the voice of God leads us on, and unless the power of the Holy Spirit is alive and active in our midst.

The Red Warriors

Again, I believe that we should indeed be asking the questions, “Why have the hearts and the minds of Americans shifted concerning abortion? Does this shift reflect or relate to the increasing amount of prayer all across America for the ending of abortion and for revival and reformation? This is critical for America to understand in light of the social, political, moral, cultural, health, educational, and spiritual states of emergency into which we find ourselves today. I would dare to say that much of our crisis is undoubtedly bound to the issue of the bloodguilt of America. But don’t just take my word for it. Ask God! He is proclaiming it loud and clear. In all 50 states there are groups of people who have committed themselves to pray for the ending of abortion. Why is this? Because God loves babies!³ Bound4LIFE chapters made up of young and old followers of Jesus gather to fast, weep, and travail in prayer for the ending of abortion. We stand in front of abortion clinics and courthouses praying silently with red tape over our mouths that says LIFE. We wear red wristbands called Life Bands as a symbol and reminder of the covenant with God that we have made to PRAY for abortion to end every time we see the red mark on our wrist, to VOTE for candidates that are actively pro-life, and to OBEY God as he leads us into works of compassion and justice. And we repeat this prayer daily: “Jesus I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation, God end abortion and send revival to America!”

If this is not God raising up a united cry for the pre-born babies who don’t yet have a voice of their own, then we are to be pitied among Christians because we stand in silent prayer for several hours every week. But if this is what Jesus is doing right now among thousands of His followers throughout America, Canada, Europe and the world, then it doesn’t take a prophetic eye to discern that the Holy Spirit is drawing forth a Moses Generation out of the bloody river of abortion; He is longing much more than we are for abortion to come to an end. In 1994 during the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC, Mother Theresa declared boldly before President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and many congressional leaders, “Please don’t kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted, and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child, and be loved by the child.”⁴ Oh that the Church of America would see and embrace the truth!

The Numbers don’t lie. Thousands of Christians, young and old, are gathering together all over America to fast and pray for the ending of abortion.⁵

The Numbers don’t lie. Since 1973, 50 million American lives have been lost in the bloody river of legalized abortion. Each day, over 4000 children are aborted in America.⁶

The Numbers don’t lie.

Right now the momentum is on your side. A recent Gallup poll⁷ shows that in May 2008 50% of Americans considered themselves “Pro-Choice” and 44% considered themselves “Pro-Life.” In the last year, there has been a complete reversal of statistics. As of May 2009 51% of Americans now consider themselves “Pro-Life” while only 42% say “Pro-Choice.” This is a FIRST-the majority of Americans are Pro-Life.

Pew Research⁸ recently discovered a radical trend indicating a massive loss of support for abortion. Tracing back to August 2008, the number of people that think it should be illegal in all or most cases is dramatically increasing, and those that think it should remain legal is desperately decreasing.

Rasmussen Reports⁹ recently conducted a study that shows that 58% of Americans now think that abortion is morally wrong. Among them, 64% are women.

In spite of what you hear OR MAY NOT HEAR in the media, America is changing her views on abortion. Bound4LIFE believes this can be directly attributed to the mass mobilization of prayer targeting the ending of abortion and revival in the nation. To put it another way prayer and fasting are in fact shifting the hearts and minds of America. Clearly minds are changing when increasing numbers of people are calling themselves “Pro-Life” and thinking that abortion should be illegal in most cases. The fact that more people believe abortion is morally wrong means that hearts are shifting too.¹⁰

Why is this happening? The secret of intercession is found in the blood of Jesus. It is found in the priestly calling of every believer to appropriate the blood and in so doing we give God all the glory. The secret of the Intercessor who stands in the gap on behalf of the land is bound to the fact that He pleads with blood. What does it mean to plead with blood? It means blood for blood. It means life for life. God established the system of atonement during the time of the Levitical Priesthood for this purpose. Ezekiel expresses profound insight into the necessity of bloodshed, sacrifice and atonement, “Therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, ‘I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.’” (Ezekiel 35:6). Of course the Torah of Moses is 100% fulfilled in Jesus Christ; He gave everything because of the demand of righteous blood in order for the fulfillment of God’s justice. Jesus pleads with His blood, with His life given over to Father on the cross of Calvary. This is the call to prayer. This is the call to intercession. This is the call – to plead His blood over our sins and the sins of our nation – For He is worthy of it all.

The Future of America

The numbers don’t lie. The reason that Americans now lean more towards pro-life values than we did one year ago is because men and women have counted the cost and have subsequently left all behind, for the sake of pleading the righteous blood of Messiah Yeshua over the future of America. There is no political remedy to the shedding of innocent blood in our nation. The only thing that will cover our sins is the pure, undefiled, innocent and Holy blood of the Son of God. Oh that the destiny of our nation would not be aborted! The perfect justice of His intercession on the cross has set us free. HE is the giver of freedom. For whom the Son sets free shall be free indeed. It cost Jesus His own life, blood for blood, life for life, and freedom for freedom; should we do any differently?

Let me say this clearly, men and women are forsaking the American dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; instead we are turning aside to seek the greater reward¹¹ which is God’s dream which is the Cross of Yeshua. For it says of Jesus that He was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. God’s dream is incomparably more excellent than the humanistic self-empowering American dream in which we ourselves demand from the state the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The eternal reality of God’s everlasting kingdom bears witness to a much more excellent way. Only God can give life, only God can give freedom, and only God can give us the gift of happiness. Let us pursue Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. For it will require all -inside and out – soul, spirit, and body entirely surrendered unto Him who is mighty to save, since there is only one place that true freedom can be found – on the cross.

This is why America is turning pro-life. God is speaking to us that abortion is wrong, and thousands from all over the nation are refusing the dream of America and accepting the call to plead the better blood of Jesus¹², though it may cost them their dreams, their ambitions, their careers, and their very own lives. For it says of Jesus that for the joy set before Him he endured the cross and despised its shame.

Seeds of intercession always bear fruit, provided that they first fall to the earth and die. Jesus Himself declares this in John 12:24. The bloodguilt of America is not beyond God’s power to reckon, nor is it past His people’s place of intercession which is to stand and plead His blood over our sins so that abortion ends. We are crying out for speedy justice. Their blood cries out. His blood cries out. God is alive and He will not be silent, “Life for Life.”

If we lined up 4,500 people on the Mall in D.C. and gunned them down there would be a public outcry. Today 4,500 babies are going to die in the womb, and there is hardly a whisper. God is rising up a voice of Justice today for the weakest, voiceless, and most marginalized people group in our country today, the unborn.
