January 22, 2013 is the 40th anniversary of Roe versus Wade. Thus far, over 57 million babies have been destroyed since abortion on demand became the law of the land.
In the account of Cain and Able, the blood of Able cried out to God. In Revelation chapter 6, the souls of the martyrs cried out: "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood."
The blood of 57 million innocents crying out for vengeance has not been overlooked by God. America is on the edge of a precipice and should she fall, she may never stand again.
The answer is not in staging abortion protests, although those of good conscience will participate and such protests are of some value. But the real answer, is the fervent, effectual prayer of God's people who are willing to tear down denominational barriers, to come together in unity, and to pray against the spirit of abortion that has blinded the eyes of individuals so they cannot see the heinous nature of their act of choice.
Partial-Birth abortion is a good example. In this procedure a baby is partially born, the doctor punches open the back of the baby's head, and the babies brains are sucked out -- all without the benefit of a pain killer. Such an atrocity rivals those of the holocaust. How can such an act of barbarism be justified by declaring it is a matter of choice? Clearly this is the work of a deceiving spirit:
"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron." (1 Tim 4:1-2)
My brothers and sisters in Christ, what shall we say to the Lord on judgement day? The strongest of all weapons in our arsenal is the power of prayer and we must come together in the prayer of unity to tear down this stronghold of the enemy.
I implore you read the article below and then join "Prayer Warriors Against Abortion" and pray against this modern-day holocaust. In the time we have left, let's make out lives count for something of eternal value. Effective immediately, I am asking every Christian of good conscience to pray against the Spirit of Abortion. Every Sunday night, at 9 PM Eastern Standard Time, please join us in unity of prayer against this most horrible act against children of innocence.

EPH 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The Bible makes it clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against wicked spiritual forces in heavenly places. Over 40 million children have been murdered through the barbaric act of abortion, which on a spiritual level, is no less than child sacrifice. Unless this national sin is attacked on a spiritual level, it will never be eliminated.
What is God's view of an unborn child? In Jeremiah 1:5, God tells Jeremiah: ``Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.''
In God's view, an unborn child is not just a ``collection of cells'', ``a fertilized ovum'', ``fallopian and uterine cell matter'', ``a product of conception'', ``a fertilized fetal-placental unit'' or ``a very fragile one-inch-long mass of differentiated tissue acting as a parasite within the mother's body''. In the eyes of God, the unborn baby is alive, known by God, and possessing a God-ordained life.
``Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You have formed my inward parts; You have covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.'' (Psalm 139:12-18)
God formed us in the womb and from the moment of conception we were (and are still) precious in His thoughts. He has fashioned the days for us, meaning that He has a perfect plan and purpose for our lives.
Since in God's eyes life begins at conception, abortion is a serious sin. It is no less than murder. Only to someone deceived by all the pro-abortion rhetoric about a pre-born child not being alive, would the death be manslaughter, rather than premeditated murder.
In the Old Testament, when someone committed manslaughter, they could seek protection in one of the Cities of Refuge that God commanded Moses to build when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land (Numbers 35). The principle of their existence was to provide refuge in the case of accidental death. If you killed someone, an ``avenger of blood'' would then pursue you to take your life (an ``eye for an eye'' principle). However, if the death was not premeditated, you had the right to flee to a City of Refuge. There, outside the city gates, you could petition the elders of the city for entrance, based on the fact that the death was unintentional. Once admitted into the city, you were safe from the avenger of blood. If you left the city, the avenger again had the right to execute you. Only once the High Priest died, you were free to leave the city and no longer be persecut- ed.
When Jesus was hanging on the cross, He cried out: ``Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'' This statement put His death into the manslaughter category. If we acknowledge Jesus as our High Priest, symbolically, He becomes our City of Refuge. In Him is forgiveness of sin and eternal life. Jesus willingly laid down His own life as a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the world. God provided a lamb without spot or blemish. Only in Jesus is forgiveness for our sins. Because of Him, we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins, ie., ultimate spiritual death and separation from God. The High Priest laid down His life so that we could be free of the avenger of blood.
But regardless of one's understanding or ignorance of God's view on abortion, the root of this sin is in the occult.
God often refers to a sin based on its occultic root and not on its particular outward manifestation. For example, rebellion is categorized as Witchcraft (1 Sam 15:23), immorality is likened to idolatry (Col 3:5), hatred is equated with murder (1 John 3:15) and abortion, on both a physical and spiritual plain -- is child-sacrifice to demonic powers and principalities (Lev 20:2, Amos 1:13, Jer 32:35, Jer 19:5).
The demons at the spiritual heart of abortion can be traced back to Lot, but let's begin during the reign of Louis XIV and the investigation into the mysterious poisoning deaths of several members of his court. The investigation led to a Madame de Monte- span, Louis' favorite mistress. But, more importantly, the investigation uncovered a network of abortion services connected with Satanic rituals, as born out by Madame de Montespan's daughter's testimony:
``At one of my mother's masses, I saw my mother bring in a premature infant and place it over a basin where its throat was slit and the blood drained into a chalice. Then the cup, filled with the babies' blood, was lifted up to heaven and this invocation was given: `Hail Ashtaroth and Asmodeus, princes of friendship, I conjure you to accept this sacrifice of this child in return for the favors asked...'''
Who were these demons to which the pre-mature infants were being sacrificed? Asmodeus is a permutation of the Hebrew name for the demon of lust. Ashtaroth is the pagan demon consort of Baal (or Molech), who is worshiped as the demon of fertility (erotic love or lust). This demon is also known by several cultural permutations of the name Ashtaroth, such as Astarte, Ishtar, Ashtart, Asherah and the name that has surfaced today -- Aphrodite. It is hardly coincidental that the primary object of today's feminist goddess worship is Aphrodite and that today's form of child-sacrifice, abortion, is associated with her.
Since in God's eyes there is no difference between a prenatal or postnatal child, the blood sacrifice of a pre-born to obtain demonic ``favors'' is no different than the sacrifice of any human being.
Abortion is child sacrifice and its origins can be traced back to the incestuous act of Lot's daughters against their father. As a result of this incestuous relationship, two sons were born: Moab, the progenerator of the Moabites (an idolatrous nation) and Ben-ammi, the progenerator of the Ammonites.
1 Kings 11:15 speaks about Molech, the detestable idol of the Ammorites. From Lev 20:2, we find that Molech-worship involved the sacrifice of post-natal children, but in Amos 1:13 God condemns the Ammorites for a particularly contemptible form of blood thirstiness: they ``ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead'' -- sacrifice of the unborn.
In Jer 32:35, the Ammonites ''...built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech.'' And in Jer 19:5, ``they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal.'' Archeologists have confirmed what the scriptures support -- that Baal/Molech was the same pagan god whose wife (or consort) was Ashtoroth, the pagan goddess worshiped through abortion by Madame de Montespan in France just 250 years ago.
To summarize, these demons originally gained a foothold on the earth through the incestuous act of Lot's daughters. The Ammorites, their descendants, became demon possessed through child sacrifice to the demon Molech/Baal. About 250 years ago the demon resurfaces in France as the wife of Baal, Ashtaroth. And finally Ashtaroth appears in our day as Aphodite where she is once again worshiped and sacrificed to through the sin of abortion.
The issue is not one of "choice". The issue is one of rebellion versus obedience to a holy and righteous God. To God, abortion is a heinous sin. If you choose to ignore God and exercise free choice over that of God's express will, you are in rebellion against God. Alexander Crowley, the famous Satanist, once said: ``Do what you wilt is the whole of the law.'' In other words, anything goes. There are no moral absolutes or God to be concerned with. Satanism and new-age philosophers espouse that everyone is his own god. This form of rebellion toward God, rooted in witchcraft and pride, causes God to oppose the person in rebellion because "God gives grace to the humble, but opposes the proud."
On a national level, the United States is in clear danger of God's immediate judgment. Consider ancient Carthage, one of the greatest cities of the Phoenician empire. This civilization was highly advanced and highly educated, but there was also a high incidence of child sacrifice. God eventually judged them. The Romans totally destroyed the city. God will not be mocked. He is long-suffering because He is not willing that any should perish, but God will only let sin go so far. When it reached its fullness, God will judge.

In the Old Testament, God used Israel to destroy the enemies of God (Numbers 33:51-52). Today, however, because of Jesus the battle is waged on a higher plain. We now have the God-given authority, through Jesus Christ, to attack the demons directly (Matt 28:18-19, Mark 16:7, Luke 7:28, Luke 11:20, John 14:12)
When Jesus sent His disciples out, He sent them out two by two. The Bible tells us that where one can send ten to flight, two can send 100. We are ten times stronger when we agree or come against the enemy in prayer and direct spiritual warfare. Since these are major demonic powers and principalities having been strengthened through the spilling of the innocent blood of about 40 million children, they should only be attacked through corporate prayer meetings. God is looking for fervent intercessory prayer. ``Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street.'' (Lam 2:19)
In Rev 2:20, God admonishes the Church at Thyatira for tolerating Jezebel, the queen who was intimately involved with witchcraft in the worship of Baal -- the demon of child-sacrifice (1 Kings 18:19). The Church in America and much of the rest of the world has become like the Church at Thyatira. Jezebel has been tolerated and even ordained. Ex-abortionist, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, in an address to the National Right to Life conference in 1980, documents this fact: ``It (the abortion clinic) was in New York City and curiously...was established and fed by the Clergy Consulation Services, an organization of 1200 Protestant ministers and Jewish Rabbis who took it upon themselves to funnel through 60,000 young women in the space of the 19 months that I ran it.''
Woe to America. Remember the height from which you have fallen. ``And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and beguile My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds." (Rev 2 2:18-22)
``If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chron 7:14)
``To act without clear understanding, to form habits without investigation, to follow a path all one's life without knowing where it really leads - such is the behavior of the multitude.'' (Marcus Mencius)
Watch and pray, therefore, that you would be counted worthy to escape the judgment that is coming upon the earth and be able to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36).
