We are entering into May which is also Maternal Mental Health Month and Mother's Day! Abortion is always a hot topic on the table in every city, state, country, and continent. I'm breaking down my personal experience with it and looking to plant seeds of hope into a sister that is struggling with whether or not to perform an abortion, support abortion rights, etc. After recording this episode, I received an email that I pasted below because it sums up what I believe and stand on concerning abortion; God said, be fruitful and multiply (Gen. 1:28). God wasn't making a suggestion, He is speaking forth a command. He was speaking forth Jesus- who is the word of God made flesh. Enjoy this episode and I hope to receive feedback! Thanks!
From Conviction to Action
There is a reason why moving into the realm of God’s promises requires courage. We do not walk forward into unknown territory able to rely on the limits of our past experiences. As we enter into new territory, there is an opportunity for expansion—of experience, of understanding, and of trust. There is no formula for success, only obedience to God’s Word.
The Word of God is living and active. It is through Jesus that we know the Father, and Jesus is the Living Word made flesh. As we look through the lens of the Old Testament, may we do it with eyes that look for glimpses of Jesus in it. We need to rely on the Spirit of God to instruct us, to lead us, and to strengthen us with bold courage! As we align our lives with his kingdom ways, we walk in the light of his presence. This requires the empowering grace of his Spirit with us. Let us never stop looking to him for all that we need, for he is our source and our strength.
Spirit of God, give me the courage I need to keep following your loving lead. I trust you more than any other—including my own senses. https://www.thepassiontranslation.com/lord-over-all-storms/
