We were out at the abortion clinic this morning and there was more of a hostile atmosphere this time. First thing, a group of drunks gathered near us and began to make loud noises, laughing and talking, which is pretty distracting when you are trying to pray. One of them who called himself a "Gnostic" tried to argue with us about the gospel, calling the book of John "hogwash". We praise the Lord that Michael and Josh were able to give him good answers and questions which we pray will cause him to think.
One of the men taking his girlfriend into the building to kill their child, became very angry when told to fear God. He said "my god has horns" and many other wicked things.
Still, we were able to sing, pray and read aloud the scriptures and speak to each of the eleven mothers who carried their children in there.
I was able to walk with and talk to one young mother for the length of over a block. She listened and I pray that God used those words.
After we left, one of the Side walk Councilors, Matt, stayed for a time. A couple came out of the building and Matt asked them if they had changed their minds, they said, "Yes"!Praise God!
We don't have any details on it yet, as to which couple they were, but we are praising the Lord. There were also a couple of other woman who came out early, but we do not know why. God does, and we leave that before Him.
I am trying to soak up all the warmth before the cold hits.
Now, I know the elections are on all of our minds and I just want to encourage all of us to praise the Lord no matter what the outcome. He said to praise Him in all things!
Our country deserves grave judgment from the Lord and it is amazing that he has given us so much mercy. We cannot expect His mercy to continue though, just look at all the innocent blood that is being shed in our nation daily and remember what He did to Israel for doing those things. His mercy may be long, but His justice will not wait forever.
I am praying that we, His redeem, will be ready for what is coming.
