And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 1:26-27


God the creator of all things created man in His image. Not only did God create us in His own image He gave us authority over all the earth. With authority comes responsibility of that which is given into our hands. If God expects us to have authority over things upon the earth such as cattle then how much more does He expect us to care for those who were made in His Image? Abortion brings not only suffering to the child but to all those who participate in this evil. The parents of the aborted child often suffer -sometimes in silence. They need to know that their is forgiveness through Jesus Christ. The world suffers the loss of a wonderful life that we will not get to share here on earth. A society that does not respect the sanctity of life is a sick society indeed. We cannot fix what is wrong with our nation by resolving the economic crises. We have shed innocent blood - we are guilty before the Lord God Almighty-we need to seek the Lord and repent of this sin. This shedding of innocent blood in not a sacrifice that is required by the Lord Our God. Jesus and Jesus alone was the atonement - the final sacrifice. So to what and to whom are we sacrificing these innocent ones? To fear, to poverty, to selfishness, to greed, to pride, to abuse, to insecurity, - Who is the god of all these things? Who is the god of this earth, the god of the air? Who sought to kill Moses and killed many infants? Who sought to kill Jesus and slaughtered children under the age of 2?
There is certainly forgiveness and that is through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone. But we must call sin as sin, we must confess our part and repent. The shed blood of Jesus Christ is the only blood that will heal, forgive, and deliver. Come to the cross and receive the freedom of the forgiveness of the Lord.
Father God I pray that we would no longer be silent-that we would hear what the Spirit is saying and be obedient to your will. That the authority that you give us through Jesus Christ would be used to protect the life that you have created, that life that you made in your own image. Heavenly Father direct us, guide us and give us wisdom on your heart, your mind and your will on how we are to protect life and walk in your authority. Father let you love be poured out of us for those mothers and fathers who are hurting because they made the choice to abort their child. I pray Father that your mercy, grace, love and compassion will be poured out over them. I ask Father for all those who you have gifted to serve you in the medical community will be moved to speak up for life and speak out against abortion. I ask you Father that you work in us to do your will. I ask Lord that you will bring an end to abortion in America and throughout the world. I ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior.
