Last Friday, I visited a baby death camp. A place where people are paid to murder pre-born babies before they ever see the light of day.
Myself, Amy (the amazing founder of Spur Ministries), and her friends Heidi, her kids, and Preston pleaded with families to choose life before they went inside.
Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
Proverbs 24:11–12
Here is the story of the 2 people I believe God placed in front of us that day.
Cops Called: The Irony of Our Nation
Just 30 minutes after Preston started pleading with the first Mom using his speaker, the cops were called on us (10th time in history according to Amy). The lady inside the building (another organization, not the clinic) was complaining that we were disturbing their meeting.
Here is the ironic part; while the police were talking to us because we were “too loud”, a baby was being surgically murdered, without cause.
Maybe we should focus our efforts on rescuing those babies from being slaughtered?
I’m not blaming this officer specifically, he can only enforce the law that we have. But unfortunately, in our country, abortion is legal in every state (do not be deceived).
The government is supposed to be a terror to those who do evil (baby murderers). If abortion was actually illegal, most of these Moms wouldn’t even consider it out of fear of being convicted.
For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad...if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.
Romans 13:1–4
Our government is under the authority of Jesus, it’s time for them to act like it.
Richard and His Friend
At this time, Amy began to talk with a man named Richard. Richard dropped off his friend, and unfortunately she was already inside. We found out quickly that he was also pro-life, and that he already tried to convince his friend not to do it.
We asked him what she needed, money, diapers, a place to stay, foster, anything? He insisted “There is nothing, she just wanted to have this.”
He told us he was a christian but hadn’t gone to church in a while. It was clear that Richard hadn’t heard the real gospel before, so Amy shared it with him. She assured him that if he believed on the Lord Jesus, he could trust that he was going to heaven, guaranteed.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
John 6:44
Richard eventually agreed that he should try and stop the abortion. He said it was a surgical abortion, so we didn’t have much time to spare.
After going in for just a minute, he came back out and said “I asked them but they said she’s already back there.”
We pleaded with Richard to go back and try, it was our only hope (we couldn’t trespass on the property).
But Richard went back in his car and waited for her instead. He no longer wanted to talk to us. I think at this point, he thought it would be easier to just let it happen. I believe this was an illustration of Jesus’s words in Matt 10:28.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28
God Using Weather to Speak
As I was speaking to Richard while he was in his car, it started to rain a lot. And then it started to thunder and lightning, very close to us. Amy and I literally prayed “God, please protect us while we are out here.”
Well at this time, Richard’s friend, the one who went in to murder her baby, finally came out. We asked if she chose life, but she didn’t want to talk to us (I get it, it was raining).
Just as she got into the car, a massive thunder went off. It was as if the blood of her baby was crying out to God, and He was answering.
And the LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Genesis 4:10–11
God then reminded me of the Flood that He used to judge the world in Genesis.
…on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights…
He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground…Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.
Genesis 7:11–23
And I also remembered what God said about how the flood was an image for the judgement to come.
and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
2 Peter 3:5–7
Knowing that Richard’s (and his family’s) soul was still on the line, I preached this to Richard one last time as they were leaving.
“Do you hear that? That’s God trying to speak to you. God is the one who made thunder, and he flooded the world with water thousands of years ago. Just as he flooded the world, there’s a judgement coming by fire. Please get right with God before it’s too late.”
Here’s a video of me speaking to them as they drove off.
We’re praying for Richard and his friend that God would change their hearts, and that they would both receive forgiveness from Jesus.
Kia: “I’ll die if I have this baby”
There was another woman that came, it appeared to be her consultation / pill appointment. (which means if she leaves there is still hope for the baby). We didn’t get her name, but she drove a Kia, so we’ll call her Kia.
Entering in the driveway she beeped loudly at Heidi as she was trying to give her one of our love boxes (you can see Heidi’s son holding one in the picture).
She parked her car, but she didn’t get out. Amy began to speak to her from her speaker.
As Amy was speaking to her, Kia yelled out to Heidi and said “I’m going to die if I don’t abort this baby.” Amy and I both dealt with this objection in the following ways.
Doctors Are Wrong All the Time
Anytime somebody tells you “you’re going to die if you have this baby”, what they’re really saying is “I’m making a guess based on information I have now that it might be challenging to have this baby.”
Only God can tell the future because he’s the one who planned it.
…I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
Isaiah 46:9-10
Amy began to share stories with Kia about people she met at the clinic that were told the same thing, and they had the baby anyway.
Do you know what happened to them? They’re still alive. Even better, they now have a beautiful baby made in the image of God.
There’s No Excuse for Murder
Then I began to speak to Kia.
“I understand that you’ve been told that there is a possibility you will die if you have this baby. But you and I both know that if we were the baby, we wouldn’t be okay with this would we? If someone told me “Joe, if I shoot you, I’ll be able to live”, that isn’t very fair for me, is it?”
The reality is, it’s never justified to murder someone. That’s literally the definition of murder; “the unjustified taking of someones life”
If it’s really true that Kia may not live because of this baby, then the solution is for Kia to get on her knees, repent, and ask God for forgiveness, and also ask God for provision that she would live through her birth. God doesn’t just leave you after you choose life, he provides for you.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
She May Have Lied
The other possibility is that, Kia could have lied. She may have just been having an abortion because she didn’t want the child.
Amy shared a few stories of how people would make things up (I was raped, etc) to make it seem like they had an excuse. And to many other people, these reasons did sound like an excuse.
But the reality is, when we disobey God’s law, we never have an excuse. God says that all of us know his law, and all of us ought to follow it, without condition.
So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools…
Romans 1:20–22
After preaching for 20 minutes, Kia eventually went in, but she came out with a bag. This confirmed that it was a pill visit, which means Kia still has time to change her mind.
We pray that Kia would change her mind, save her baby, and give her life to the Lord, and that the seeds that we sowed while she was in her car for so long would yield fruit.
