Morning by Morning, September 2 - The Cause for Life Advances in Our Land!
Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of kings and Lord of lords, be King of my heart and Lord of my life, as I seek to begin my day fully surrendered to You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...
Today in the State of Texas, it is now illegal to abort a child from his or her mother’s womb if that child’s heartbeat can be detected. Yesterday, in a majority opinion by a 5 to 4 vote, the United States Supreme Court refused to halt the Texas law from going into effect. This effectively stops abortions in all of Texas after 6 weeks from conception. This is now the most restrictive defense of the life of an unborn child in the nation.
The horrendous 1973 precedent of Roe v. Wade, which began in a courtroom in Texas nearly 50 years ago, is under siege by the unrelenting cry for life. No doubt there’s great war in the heavenly realm after nearly five decades of the principality of death claiming vast legal right to “steal and kill and destroy” in our land (John 10:10; Ephesians 6:12).
But You came that we would have “life and life abundantly” (John 10:10). And life begins in the mother’s womb. Your Word decrees that Your hands knit that life together, created by God with an inalienable right to live out his or her identity, purpose, and destiny as a child of God of infinite worth:
“For it was You who formed my inward parts;
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are Your works;
that I know very well” (Psalm 139:13-14).
There’s no life You do not love (John 3:16). There’s no sin You will not forgive (1 John 1:9). And there’s no curse upon the land You will not break by the power of Your blood and authority of Your name when Your people who are called by Your name turn to You in repentance and prayer to forgive our sin, to cleanse our hearts, and to heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Today I join all who pray for the healing of mothers’ hearts who made a choice to end a life in their womb. I pray for the forgiveness of sins of all involved, as hearts turn to You in the cleansing of repentance and the freedom of deliverance (1 John 1:9; James 4:7). I pray for the peace of every soul, every life, we entrust into the grace of Your embrace (Ecclesiastes 12:7). I pray for the forgiveness of Your people who are called by Your name in the Body of Christ who allowed it to happen -- whether by complacency or compromise, throughout these last 50 years -- until Your church found her courage and her voice to stand up and speak out to say No.
Today we say No to death. We say Yes to life. And we humble ourselves to pray that the highest Court in our land, in the cases to come, would come into agreement with the Court of Heaven to say No to death and Yes to life (Daniel 7:10).
In this heavenly court battle that’s been set into motion, I join all who are praying for a manifestation in the matters that come before this court on earth of the full manifestation of the Final Judgment that will issue one day from the Court of Heaven. One day to come, You will issue Your Decree when You silence the voice of the accuser and issue the Final Judgment of Your Court in favor of life, against death and hell:
“(The accuser) shall speak words against the Most High,
shall wear out the holy ones of the Most High,
and shall attempt to change the sacred seasons and the law;
and they shall be given into his power
for a time, two times, and half a time.
Then the Court shall sit in judgment,
and his dominion shall be taken away,
to be consumed and totally destroyed.
The kingship and dominion
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven
shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High;
their Kingdom shall be an everlasting Kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey them” (Daniel 7:25-27)
“The last enemy to be destroyed is death” (1 Corinthians 15:23).
“Then death and hell were thrown into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:14).
One day, all will be set right. And every day, in every court case, between this day and that one to come, we pray, “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). As Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King decreed on the authority of Your Word in the fight of his day for this same Supreme Court to overcome wrong precedents of the past to set things right in the cause for what’s just and true: “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” (from Amos 5:24)
When the final gavel sounds, life will win. For the Author of Life is revealed in love (1 John 4:8). “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:6-8).
Lord, let it be so on earth as it is in heaven. Let the cause of life continue to advance in our land. Life is advancing. And Truth is marching on! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
