Abortion: The Shedding of Innocent Blood

Abortion propagates the belief and lie “my body, my choice”, that a woman has the right to choose what can or cannot be done to her body. 1 Corinthians 6:19 states that our bodies are a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in us, whom we have from God therefore we are not our own. 1 Corinthians 6:20 states KJV, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”. Our bodies and spirits were bought by God at an expensive and high price (1 Corinthians 7:23) by the blood of Jesus, our savior. 

Our bodies are His, we belong to Him and we are to glorify Him in body and spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:15 shows us as well that our bodies belong to Christ and are actually parts of Him.

On the Planned Parenthood website they ask questions like whether or not is abortion right for “me” only considering the well-being of the individual. They even give individuals many selfish reasons why it’s best to have an abortion and reasons dissuading you to not have the child. On their website they make it seem so common and “normal” when it certainly is not! 

One of the ten commandments, which we as Christians must abide by, states in the actual translation, “Thou shall do no murder” (Exodus 20:13). God created man in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27), therefore an attack against another person according to pastor John Hagee, literally considered from heaven a direct attack on God Himself.

Every person God created is incredibly special to Him for He made us in His own image; in the image of God He created us; male and female He created us (Genesis 1:27). Taking a life and murdering an innocent child is not normal or right in God’s eyes or to any righteous, bible-believing, believer in Jesus Christ. 

What about the baby? What about that precious life that God created? Proverbs 6:16-19 illustrates six things the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

There is no more innocent blood than the blood of an unborn child in the womb of its mother. Hence, shedding an innocent baby’s blood is an abomination to the Lord, something the Lord hates.

Once an egg is fertilized in the womb, Prophet Robin Bullock (from a revelation from God) reveals that God drops your Spirit, filled with your destiny, from within Himself, into the fertilized egg and when He does that a spark of life, an actual flash of light occurs. When that spark occurs your destiny is written, imprinted and burnt in your flesh, dirt and DNA by your spirit. This is what makes a person who they are, their talents, likes and dislikes, etc. God breathed the breath of life and the man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). Each person God creates is unique and special to Him, made with a special purpose.

Psalm 139: 13-16 TPT

You formed my innermost being, shaping my delicate inside
    and my intricate outside,
    and wove them all together in my mother’s womb. 
I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex!
    Everything you do is marvelously breathtaking.
    It simply amazes me to think about it!
    How thoroughly you know me, Lord!
You even formed every bone in my body
    when you created me in the secret place; 
    carefully, skillfully you shaped me from nothing to something.
You saw who you created me to be before I became me! 
    Before I’d ever seen the light of day,
    the number of days you planned for me
    were already recorded in your book. 

Psalm 8:5-8 TPT

Yet what honor you have given to men,
    created only a little lower than Elohim, 
    crowned with glory and magnificence.
You have delegated to them
    rulership over all you have made,
    with everything under their authority,
    placing earth itself under the feet of your image-bearers. 

The devil tries to steal your destiny. Bullock explains that when the enemy tries to make you commit suicide, among other things to kill you prematurely, he’s trying to get rid of you before you realize your great God-given destiny. Every person has a God-given destiny, will and purpose to fulfill on this earth. The Lord said that He knows the thoughts and plans He has for us, they are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). With abortion the devil is trying to kill the baby with that special destiny and purpose before he/she exits the womb.

It is at the point of fertilization that a person, a voice, is formed by God. Jeremiah 1:4-5 states: The Lord said to me, “I knew you before you were formed within your mother’s womb; before you were born I sanctified you and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.” Isaiah 49:1 also states: “The Lord called me before my birth. From within the womb he called me by my name.” 

Psalm 22:10 tells us that we were cast upon God from birth and from our mother’s womb He has been our God and it is because of this, even if your mother forgets and not have compassion for you since surely they may forget, God promises He will not forget you or any aborted baby that’s sacrificed.

According to Paster Hagee, “only one-half of one percent of all abortions are done for such hardship reasons as rape, incest, and danger to the mother’s life. The rest, 99.5%, are sacrificed to convenience, to selfish and personal greed. Such hardship cases are a false issue raised to distract attention from the fact that there has been an annual harvest of 1.5 million deaths in America under the abortion law that existed.”

In these horrible situations such as rape the bible states in Ezekiel 18:20 that the person who sins is the one who will die, the child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. It also states that righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness. The innocent child should then not be murdered, tried and convicted for the sin of their parent.

In other conditions whereby facing abortion because the child, according to the doctor, may be born deformed or disabled the Lord asked Moses in Exodus 4:11, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?” Isaiah 45:9-11 states how terrible it is to question your creator and what sorrow awaits them. The Lord ends verse 11 by asking, “Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?” We are the clay, and our Heavenly Father is the potter, we all are formed by His hand (Isaiah 64:8).

Paster John Hagee’s Testimony:

"Let me share with you from personal experience about abortion. Diana was expecting. She called my office on one particular day, crying, sobbing. I said, "What's the matter"? And she said, "I've been exposed to German measles. You know German measles and pregnancy don't go together". Diana went to her obstetrician, who said flippantly, "Get an abortion. That's the answer". She called me again saying, "The doctor said chances are 80% that our baby will be malformed for the rest of his life". I said, "Give the phone to the doctor". I fired the doctor. I said, "We will put this in God's hands. God has said, 'choose life,' and we are going to choose life". Two weeks later, we found out that the German measles that she had allegedly been exposed to was a rash. But had we listened to that doctor, our baby would have been in the trash can.

The Bible says, "I have set before you life and death...Choose life". The day came for the baby to be born. It was an exciting time, because it came suddenly. Standing there in the room watching, the doctor hadn't arrived. The nurse was doing it by herself. Watching this baby be born, the nurse wrapped him up, dried him off, and placed him in my arms. And I said, "Welcome to our world, Matthew Charles Hagee". To everyone under the sound of my voice, if you're expecting a child, I urge you to choose life."

We cannot make decisions about life because we are not God, we cannot decide who dies or not- that’s His job. He is the Creator, we are only His created.

When someone has an abortion, innocent blood is shed and all who were involved are guilty of a sin that is an abomination to Him. If you were ever guilty of such sin know that there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). God knows your heart and there’s hope in Jesus.

If you are truly repentant and confess your sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive you and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7). Matthew 12: 31 shows us every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven- except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.

Proverbs 31:8-9 reveals to us what’s on God’s heart, that we are to speak up for and defend those who cannot speak up for and defend themselves, to ensure justice in the cause of all who are appointed to die. We are called to be the voice for the voiceless and defend those who cannot help themselves, including innocent babies. Children are a gift from God; they are a reward from Him (Psalm 127:3).

Leviticus 18:21 through 27 teaches that sacrificing your children is an abomination to God and it leaves the land defiled. When the land is defiled, it means that God cannot bless it. Therefore, be very careful when you vote for political parties, when you are choosing someone to vote for, vote the Bible, for God’s biblical principles. Don’t vote for any politician who supports abortion, the shedding of innocent blood.

We are called to be salt and the light of the world (Matthew 5:13-16) wherever we may be we must stand up, speak up for life and let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven (Matthew 5: 14).
