| A Christian Perspective On How To Right The Wrongs |
|
| |
My suggestion is if we cannot give our input as to how the wrongs can be made right and only through Jesus Christ that will occur, then I say stop stirring the pot, because there are many hate mongers that will get stirred up to the boiling and then bubble over. As I see it Satan can use any willing vessel. If we cannot point others to Jesus Christ, then what is the use? We just become tinkling symbols blowing in the wind of adversity. (We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against POWERS! against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places)! This is WAR my friend. If you are on the Lord's side your message should be (repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand) loving your neighbor as you love yourself (meaning do unto others as you would have others do unto you). If you are on Satan's side then your message will be one of fear, which incites malice and hatred, which is the fruits that Christians should never bear.
Well we have screamed, blamed and cried out in fear of what may or may not happen in future by mankind. Nothing happens just by chance. If we all read the scriptures, it tells us the Creator of this universe has set up Kings and pulled down Kings. He has killed people just for touching the Ark of the HOLY covenant, He opened the ocean and swallowed up all of the people in Pharaoh's Army to save Moses and his crew, then He put them through 40 years of testing and even Moses did not enter the promised land. Then He told Noah to build a boat while everyone was partying and having a good time and then He flooded the entire earth and only saved Noah's people. He held up the rain for a few years because one man prayed. He did many things that we may find unjustifiable and He used men to do His work whether we thought it good or evil. We can blame any or all of the Presidents and Kings past and present. One thing we can ALL know for sure is that when the Creator of His universe is ready to put His foot down, EVERYONE will SHUT UP and bend their knees to His Lordship, for this is His earth and the fullness thereof and He can do whatever He wants with it. If it is that a man had to be born to create havoc so that we can turn to Him in humble prayer because we are afraid of what may occur in this world, then so be it.
As I see it, many people who are going to the abortion clinics have already made up in their minds that they want to abort these children because they have no hope that they can take care of the child or they consider that child an oops, so these children if forced to be born because of guilt by pro-lifers are born with a spirit of rejection which they are consumed with most of their lives. The abortionist are not forcing these women to abort. They go to the clinic willingly. I believe the masses in churches today are barking up the wrong tree. I do not believe that anyone should take a life. That decision belongs to the Creator of life ONLY! However, I have not seen any suggestions by the pro-lifers on where that girl or woman can go for help after she has the child. My suggestion is why don't the churches do what they are supposed to do and offer the help to those they claim to love?
Here is what is needed.
Free Christian counseling
Free food
Free pampers
Free babysitting
Free or low cost housing
We (the body of Christ, is commanded to love our enemies, to bless those who curse us, do good for those that hate us, and prayer for them who despite-fully uses us and persecutes us. We are also commanded to give to the poor, widowed and orphans.
I will like the names of Churches, Pregnancy Centers, Adoption Agencies etc., that is offering the help needed as I have listed above please, so that I can contact them and possibly make up fliers, cards etc., for distribution to the many mothers who are and have been asking for help. It will be very much appreciated. I am in the Orlando, Florida area. If you can perhaps put it up on my profile page. I am sure we can get something going here. Please only free or low cost is desired by most of these women.
I believe these girls and women need more than just talk. They need to see us Christians in action. I am sure there are many churches out there that is not being used except on one week day night and once on Sunday. Perhaps the rest of the time we can use these churches to have counselling sessions, free or low cost babysitting services, food pantries, clothing, shoes, toys, recycling, etc.,
Any suggestions will be welcome by these women, I am sure. They are desperate for help of any kind.
I LOVE children and if I was not pro-life, I would not have had four grandchildren, whom I have sacrificed my life for. The eldest is 19 years old now.
Please let us look for a solution instead of talk, let us take to action. One can only throw down 1,000. Two can throw down 10,000. We must bind together in this day and not be divisive. By their love for one another, they (those on the outside) will know we are true disciples of the Creator.
With agape' love I ask, What would Jesus Do?

Amen sister. We do have a Crisis Pregnancy Centre here which I do try to help so that women and young girls can get the practical help and Christian counselling they need. Even after counselling some still choose an abortion but others will give their hearts and lives to God and receive practical help with the care of their children (food, clothes, socialization, support, counselling). Sadly, I do not think there are enough Christians who give to support this work. I wish they would as such an organization makes it easy for them to do something constructive about abortion, rather than stand on city sidewalks, shouting at people who have made their decisions. I pray there is such a Crisis Pregnancy Centre where you are...some place that you can work with. God bless you for what you are doing. |

Thanks for this message...we have been contributing to the CPC here since March. Even though I never had a child - I was adopted - and knew at some point I was "unwanted"...I challenge anyone that can to find an agency as this or Salvation Army, Crisis Ministry, etc to support thru gifts and/or volunteer work. You never know when you may be on the other side of the fence and need their help. We all are guilty of taking so much for granted...

Thank you Penny for your input and suggestions.
I know about the places you mentioned, but there is only so much those places are willing to offer. (I know).
I am asking the Churches to get FULLY involved. I believe Christian Counselling and accountability to do what is right by God should come before the pregnancy occurs, The scripture tells the parents to raise up their children in the way of the Lord and when the children gets old, they will not forsake it.
I hear the cries of many of the children who were abandoned by their birth mothers and fathers all the time. It is an ache that cannot be quenched, because no matter what, you are tied to your birth mother's umbilical cord and you are genetically and emotionally bound to your birth parents. I know of many, many grown men and women who cannot have a healthy relationship with the opposite gender because they are lacking in the nurturing of their birth fathers and mothers. I have done a deep study on this because of the many people I come in contact with who are on anti-depressants. There must be a better way to handle this. A vast majority of fathers are abandoning their babies and the mothers are burnt out and frustrated and they will sometimes take out their frustration on their children and now both the mothers and the children are suffering from the spirit of rejection. I do believe people need more Spiritual enlightenment from the Word.
Shalom to you my friend

Hello my sweet friend Lynne
Thank you for your input. I was raised by both my maternal parents, but did not have a good relationship with them because my mother rejected me in her womb, all because of my father's behaviour towards her while she was pregnant with me. (I did nt find this out until I was a very grown woman). I was also very depressed and oppressed most of my life, until I met my Jesus and then it was all lifted. I was blessed also to go to my mother and make peace with her and get the healing we both needed before she died. I did the same thing with my father before he died, so I am totally healed from the spirit of parental rejection (thank you Jesus). I have done a deep study on this and I am now trying to council others, so that they also may be healed and perhaps not make the same mistake with their children. I have already enlightened many in my immediate family and was surprised at the outcome. Some cried with relief, because at least now they know what is bothering them and they can now seek the help in the right direction.
One thing I learned that sin brings forth death no matter what, and rejection brings a heaviness with it that can only be lifted when the one who is rejected allows Jesus to do the healing, unfortunately, many people do not realize that it is the spirit of rejection that makes them feel so depressed and oppressed. I have taken some counseling courses given by some of the Agencies mentioned and have learned something from each that may help someone when the time is right. This is a very delicate subject and many are afraid to venture to give any information that may tip the scale in the wrong direction. therefore, the help is limited for full recovery. |

Thank you for the AMEN corner Joey. I am trying to get people "stirred up" but I want it to go in the direction where healing and help will come from the right sources. (the Churches). It is time we hear from the Pastors, Evangelists, Preachers, Deacons, Board Members, Members of Churches, even pew warmers can get involved. Amen?
We can all be a blessing to others, so that we can be blessed, Amen!

Thank you for the star Lara. I know that means you approve. Any recommendations or suggestions, please feel free to add your input here or better yet, at your church. I will continue to contact the churches and any other Christian Organizations in my area and let you all know of the outcome. Also, if you have any information from the churches in your area would you post it on this blog please? This way, I will be able to properly direct those seeking help to Christian services.
Shalom to all my friends |

Marcia, this is a great blog, there is much I agree with here. I like how you put God on the throne, attributed him with the power to effect change. And yes, there are many talkers, many "judgers", who like to assign blame, pronounce guilt. But where are they when the "unwanted" babies come? Thanks for sharing your perspective, sister. |

| Hey sis, I understand where you are coming from. I don't mean to suggest that Crisis Pregnancy Centre is the only place for help. I strongly do believe the Church body must do their part too and that means, each of us as we are able. I was basically thinking that if you have a CPC in your neighbourhood, then this is a great place to give support. I also strongly support your efforts to do more...and I pray that others will come along side you there to help you. You are involved in a good work and I praise God for your heart to help. I love you sis. I give u a "G" for effort =D...that means excellent and very good, lol. |

I addressed this subject back in 2008 and received NO input from ANY of the CHURCHES on this site. This is nauseating! See my response to Steve Simm's blog below:-
| I believe we should all share the "gospel truth" with others, before they go to the obortion clinic, because by the time they are at the clinic, they have already made up their minds to abort.......
I was appalled at the amount of people who say they go to church regularly and are considering abortion. Another thing churches can inspire that person to keep the child, if they open the doors 24/7 with a food and clothes pantry. Perhaps a recycling of baby clothes and baby amenities can be done by members of the church. What about babysitting amenities? Is'nt that what church should be all about? helping people?. People are already stressed out and would like to know that they can find healing in the church. How about a prayer and counseling facility in the churches? Just my thoughts on the subject. |

ONE person was interested enough to offer me a link to an Organization called care net. See below:-
Great blog, great comments.
Ihsallthetime--there is a ministry called Care Net. This ministry is absolutely wonderful. It provides pregnancy tests, counseling, ultrasounds at some centers, baby clothes, diapers, formula, homes, counseling for post abortion women, etc. I have been involved in this ministry off and on for over seventeen years. I have only wonderful things to say about the compassion and love this ministry exhibits to all women in a crisis pregnancy whether the woman chooses life or not. Please check out the ministry link I provided above to learn more about the ministry. To find a center near you use this link and click on Find a Center. |

| Awesome link. I think that I might be donating to them through the workplace.... There you go, Marcia. People who want to help can always find a ministry, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, on the internet. When God says "So why didn't you DO anything?" we will be w/o excuse. Thanks for being a positive agitator for change. |

That is the least we can do for His Kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven Mike. Thank you so much for acknowledging and for your words of encouragement brother. I was sent another link by someone else from Michael's blog and did not consider posting it here as yet. I believe I must check out these links because I want to know that I am sending people to a "Christ Centered Organization". I will have to personally contact each of the Churches in my area and see what I can hook up, not only for those who are considering keeping their babies, but those who really have needs otherwise and is really serious to make a change in their life. I believe if the Churches do their part the job will be easier and people will have the true hope in Jesus Christ when they see true Christians in action. Keep checking and please put out feeds at your church also for them to get busy creating the help their people need. Again, thank you brother.
Shalom to you and your family.
