CHILDREN ARE A HERITAGE FROM THE LORD

SLIDE 1 “CHILDREN ARE A HERITAGE “ image slide

It’s been an eventful end of the week for our nation, the supreme court overturning Roe vs Wade and sending the decision against or for abortions back to each state

There are currently 22 states that signed into law abortion to be illegal, our state one of those

So many in opposition keep repeating a woman has lost her constitutional rights. As justice Alito made the case for the supreme court,“the right to abortion is not in the constitutions text, the constitution makes no reference to abortion”.

All during my week I had no input from the Lord as I usually do for a message, then receiving a text from my wife Friday morning about the ruling, within an hour I felt the Lord showing me things and knew it would be for today’s message.

SLIDE 2

Abortion

Spiritual not Political

First thing is that this is spiritual not political

The Lord will make His case on this and as the Lord was revealing to me the reason we have the mess we have over this issue

Point 1 since we are in this context of the message discussion, it should be our second point but you will see why as we go through it

SLIDE 3

Abortion

Spiritual not Political

1) Our nation founded on God’s law

Duh …we all know that, what does that have to do with this struggle we are having?

Our nation’s forefathers fled from tyranny and ungodly rule, the laws of our nation were written according to God’s word and from our forefathers praying and seeking God’s wisdom for our nations framework

I had been working many months at this one courthouse up north and everyday passed by this monument, as just about finished working there I decided to read all 4 sides.

One says this -

SLIDE 4

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization not upon our government or its institutions but on the ability to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves and to control ourselves according to the ten commandments of God” (1778)

Do you see what the Lord is showing us today

Look at this one I read also-

SLIDE 5

“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time, they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion whose morality is so sublime and pure are undermining the solid morals, the best security for the duration of free government”(1800)

God is showing us its the spiritual state of our nation

Our forefathers designed to framework and knew it would only work if those who are in leadership, those who are teaching, those who are providing information to us and so on where those who had Godly morals and used God’s laws and direction as their guides

Look at this verse from Psalm king David wrote and understood so well

SLIDE 6

Psalm 19:7 (NASB95)

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

This what our forefathers knew would have to be for our people and their morals, otherwise without God’s testimony we would have chaos and division and a threatened republic. Remember when Benjamin Franklin was asked after the framework was all written up and done. “What do we have?, “a republic if you can keep it”

This is what he meant if you can keep it

Why the chaos and division, whay are so many of our young people being deceived or brainwashed?

Look at this from 1 John

SLIDE 7

1 John 3:1 (NASB95)

1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

The world does not even understand why we chose life and our morals because they do not know Him

Brothers and sisters we should always test the narrative out there against God’s word. From our leaders, from schools and colleges, those institutions of journalism.......man you have to even do that in our churches at times now!

There are many times I wished I would have gone to college, especially for preaching, preparing messages, my vocabulary for the messages.........but if I did teach me these things, not change my way of thinking.

Schools teach math, reading, vocabulary, science, athletics for health, tech classes....not changing the way to think. Colleges teach trades, economics and professions to help our country thrive and be productive…not have debates and change ways of thinking

Again.... young people it is a must to put every narrative you are hearing up against God’s word, otherwise you are being lied to and deceived.

Our next point why abortion is spiritual…Point 2

SLIDE 8

Abortion

Spiritual not Political

1) Our nation founded on God’s law

2) The root cause is a demonic spirit

This was the spirit that derailed Israel in the book of Judges Kings and Chronicles, this spirit that the prophets kept warning about. I’ve talked about this many times in messages. The spirit of Molech. This is a spirit god of the Ammonites, Ammon being the son of Lot but Molech mainly of Canaanite origin

The gods of Molech and Baal main two that really as you read in books of the prophets why God exiled Israel, they didn’t seem to have a big problem after returning

God warned the people of Israel as way back as the book of Leviticus

SLIDE 9

Leviticus 18:21 (NASB95)

21 ‘You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.

Solomon known as the wisest on earth but because of this god and spirit introduced by women of other nations caused his destruction

SLIDE 10

1 Kings 11:4–5 (NASB95)

4 For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites.

SLIDE 11

1 Kings 11:6–7 (NASB95)

6 Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not follow the Lord fully, as David his father had done.

7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon.

SLIDE 12 “IMAGE OF MOLECH”

Manasseh was a king of Israel who really fell into this wosrhip of Molech

SLIDE 13

2 Chronicles 33:1–2 (NASB95)

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

2 He did evil in the sight of the Lord according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

SLIDE 14

2 Chronicles 33:3 (NASB95)

3 For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he also erected altars for the Baals and made Asherim, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

SLIDE 15

2 Chronicles 33:5–6 (NASB95)

5 For he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

6 He made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger.

SLIDE 16 “HINNOM VALLEY”

There is so much money behind abortion, so many high influenced people behind it, population control has been reason given, Margaret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood, to make a more perfect race, make your own observance of where you see Planned Parenthood geographically placed.

The Lord brings us to His last point

SLIDE 17

Abortion

Spiritual not Political

1) Our nation founded on God’s law

2) The root cause is a demonic spirit

3) The church to rise up and meet the need
