Just one more evidence of the crumbling abortion industry in America.  You will enjoy this 9 minute interview with John Barros.  Here is a word from our sister Sandy Sayre upon hearing of this wonderful occasion:  “Several killing centers are closing.  Not one of them closed because our government was appalled enough to close them.  No, our government only regulates how the killing can be accomplished – you know, to reduce the harm and keep this abomination safe and nice.  It is God’s people who stand and pray, hold signs up to show the slaughter and, I might add, suffer the shame of taunts from a world that does not know Jesus and sadly from some who say they do.  Thank you Jesus for Your hand in this victory.  Dear Saints keep praying, keep going to the Gates of Hell where Satan thinks he is winning, and above all press on in the strong name of Jesus – He is the prize in Glory.”

Enjoy! ~ Flip

The Word of the Lord continues to come to pass, “Now see what I will do.” In this video John Barros, a watchman upon the wall in Orlando, FL, witnesses the fruit of his labor come to pass. We rejoice with the saints in Orlando for this great victory. They have confronted this evil for years and yesterday their faith was rewarded. Abortionist Pendergraft’s bloody empire is being plundered. May it continue till it is no more in Jesus’ mighty name!

Police Raid Orlando abortionist James Pendergraft’s clinic
Interview with sidewalk evangelist John Barros

By John Barros

“What is nicer than seeing police knock down doors and haul out evidence at Orlando Women’s Center abortion mill? The sheriff actually let me help put up the crime scene tape. Place is swarming with undercover cops. Thank you Jesus. This is so awesome! Furniture, paintings, ultrasound machines — everything being loaded onto a truck.”

The above description is from John Barros, a missionary to the preborn at Orlando Women’s Center who does sidewalk counseling and preaching five days a week.

 

Authorities raid Orlando abortion clinic 

ORLANDO, Fla. – Channel 9 has learned details surrounding a raid at an abortion clinic in Orlando on Thursday.

The clinic is called the Orlando Women’s Center, and it’s located at Lucerne Terrace in downtown Orlando. Dr. James Pendergraft said Thursday’s raid was tied to a 2001 lawsuit where a patient, mid-abortion, left the facility, and later gave birth to a child with cerebral palsy.

WFTV found out that Pendergraft was found guilty of medical malpractice and his license had been suspended.

That case went to court and there was a $38 million dollar judgment decided in 2011.

But the clinic has only paid $100,000 of that settlement. Pendergraft said the raid is the result of that.

Pendergraft said the agents were taking whatever they could to help settle the suit after collections agents could not get money from them. He said the assets were not his, but rather in a trust.

“The sheriff department is following the orders of the judge that had this done on Monday, but what makes this illegal is that it’s not mine or that of Orlando Women’s Center,” said Pendergraft. Pendergraft said as a result of the raid, his patients are being sent elsewhere.

The clinic has been in the news before. It’s controversial because it’s one of the only clinics in the area that offers late-term abortions and has offered coupons for abortion discounts in the past.

But Pendergraft told WFTV the raid is not connected to anything other than the lawsuit.

John Kirkwood has written a thoroughly Biblical article of what happened to Tim Tebow and our responsibility to love this young man in the way that Jesus loves him.  It is terrific article.  You will also find at the end of the article Pastor Jeffress’ video response to Tim’s bowing out of First Baptist Church dedication of their new building.  ~ Flip  (Below is Miss Brenda’s editorial comments that needs to be brought to the attention of our folks.  She is right on in her critique.  John Kirkwood does not need to use phrases like this to make a point.  I did not see this in my first reading of the article.  I was, however, amazed at his biblical insight and correct use of Scripture.)

 

John Kirkwood’s phraseology is debased, and his suggestion that it would have been better if Tim Tebow was caught fornicating rather than turn down a speaking engagement at Pastor Jeffress’ church is beyond the pale.

Kirkwood said it’s a good thing Tebow didn’t have two virgin daughters that he could barter to the mob.  Really!!??  Turning down a speaking engagement, for what ever reason,  is on the same level as offering daughters to the mob to rape???

Kirkwood didn’t offer a single negative quote from Tebow regarding Jeffress, yet heaped condemnation on this young Christian saying he has compromised a faithful brother and a historic church; that Tebow has aided and abetted in the media’s arson of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, even indicating he had bowed to the Gays.  In his attempt to inflame the emotions of Christians against Tebow, it seems to me Kirkwood engaged in a little pyromania himself, at the very least in some hearty mud-slinging.

When I watched the video of Pastor Jeffress, all I could think of was the letter of support he sent out this past campaign season for former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert who was running for senate against Ted Cruz.  Leppert had marched so jauntily in the Dallas Gay Pride Parade a few years ago.  I’ve still got his picture.  Leppert’s participation disgusted me because it indicated his support of this sin and because he is well known as a Southern Baptist.   What I was very surprised to learn at the time is that Jeffress is his pastor...

Thanks Miss Brenda,

Please email this to all of our folks on the email list.  I have your comments and they have merit.  Now let’s see what others have to say.

Hi Flip,

I wanted to give you another chance to disown this article.  Kirkwood’s vulgar slang comment about Tim Tebow, ” He screwed the pooch,” was enough for me to distance myself from the article.  It was shocking coming from a “Christian” pastor and raised an immediate sense of distrust in me.  It showed a willingness to compromise with the world and a potentially degenerative mind.  His other comments only added to this.

I’ll be gone awhile but will check my email upon return.

Love in Christ,

Brenda

Looking forward to seeing you in Jackson, Mississippi, this January 20-22, 2013, for the most significant event to take place in America on any of these three days.  Don’t believe it?  Come and see.

Join us in Jackson this 40th Memorial of Roe v. Wade January 20-22, 2013 (Sunday – Tuesday) – We Are Going Back!

If you have not yet realized the utter futility of relying on Washington, D.C., to stop the shedding of innocent blood in this land, you have been in a coma.  Neither party, not even a third nor fourth party has any intention whatever to plead the case of the fatherless to win it.  They will certainly plead it enough to get our vote but that is as far as it goes.   Ending abortion in this land is the job of the Church of Jesus Christ.  We are the only institution ordained by God to storm the gates of hell where they cannot prevail.  There is no other, period!

Abortion will come to an end in America when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will come to an end – and not one second sooner!

If this is true, and it is, then we need to win this battle in the streets long before we can win it in the “hallowed” halls of Congress, or 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, or the Supreme Court.  We can no longer afford to allow strategy (political) to replace truth.  The one offensive weapon given to us by God to tear down strongholds is the sword of the spirit – the Word of God.  This is the weapon that must be unsheathed.  It is the TRUTH! God watches over His Word to perform it.  We win when we wield it.  Our unbelief causes us to leave it in its sheath.

Unfortunately, most of us are too busy watching FOX News (I am guilty) or listening to the conservative talking heads on radio to have time to delve into God’s Word.  We don’t know it.  We are not aware that we can unsheathe it.  We are not equipped to wield it.  We are ignorant of its power to transform lives and nations.

We are giving you the 2013 Bible Reading Schedule this Christmas that you may read through the Bible with us this year, the 40th Memorial of Roe v. Wade.  We will be giving you several opportunities to live out your faith in the streets of America in 2013 as our “States of Refuge” campaign continues to seek America’s first abortion-free state.  At these times you will hear preaching that comes directly from the Scripture in your Bible Reading Schedule.  There is no greater gift we can give Jesus this year than to draw near to Him through His Word.

We have looked to Republicans to keep us from sliding off a fiscal cliff from which there is no recovery.  Almighty God has been looking for us to rescue those being led away to slaughter.  Until we take care of this issue, the shedding of innocent blood, there will be no aid from heaven to heal our land.  Please join us in Jackson, MS, this January 20-22, 2013.

The picture above of the Jackson Women’s Health Organization graphically reveals America’s problem.  She is intent on killing children while asking God to bless her at the same time.  It has never happened in history, it will not happen now, nor will it ever happen in the future.  Innocent blood has a voice and it cries out to God.  Until we repent of the shedding of innocent blood, God will not hear our prayers.  Sin separates us from God.  This abortion mill separates America from God’s blessing.

“Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.  But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken falsely, and your tongue mutters wicked things.”  Isaiah 59:1-3. 

There are five states that have only one abortion mill, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.  These are potential “States of Refuge” where the unborn child will be safe from abortion.  One of them will become the first abortion-free state in the U.S.  We pray that in 2013 (the 40th year since the US legalized this bloodshed) we can present that state to the Lord and tear down the wicked walls that separate us from Him.

Because our hands are stained with the blood of the innocent the Lord has not heard our prayers for help.  Our streets are filled with bloodshed.  Our economy is slowly bleeding to death and governmental “solutions” seem to only make the crisis worse.  Even nature seems to have turned against us in earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and wildfires that ravage our land.  God has more disaster than our federal government has relief.

We are being destroyed as a nation by an enemy from within.  We are being destroyed by a lie that was birthed in the very pit of hell.  This lie took its physical form in the Roe v. Wade decision issued by the Supreme Court of the United States of America on January 22, 1973.  This is a battle that only God’s Church can win!

So we are headed back to Jackson, Mississippi, this 40th Memorial of Roe v. WadeWe will be there January 20-22, 2013.  We will have a memorial service on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, that will end at 12:30 PM.  For those of you that are already doing memorial services, for the over 55 million children killed, in your cities at that time please let your local leaders organize that and come join us in Jackson.

See you in Jackson as we again storm the gates of hell – they cannot prevail!

Flip

Giving Birth to My Destiny

by Shaylah McQueen

It was a miserable morning in New Haven, CT as my boyfriend and I managed our way through the frozen January air across the street to the abortion clinic, Planned Parent Hood. The building resembled that of an old cathedral which I found ironic because this place was not at all a place of worship; especially not for the reason I came here. The clinic used to be a part of Yale University, one of the most prestigious schools in the country. But now it just stood alone and abandoned, just as I felt that day.

When I found out I was two months pregnant, I immediately knew what I had to do. As a young, intelligent, humble, motivated, wise, athletic, diligent and a hardworking African American female, I had a role to play and image to portray in my society. If I had a baby during my junior year of high school, my image as well as the image of all African American females would have been distorted. I would be labeled as another black girl who will drop out of school, sell my body for money and/or raise a child who would suffer from the generational curse of poverty, fornication, incompetency, and illiteracy. So as you see, I couldn’t be a mother, at least not at this time period.

 As we approached the side of the abortion clinic where the entrance waited, I began to tell myself that I was making a big mistake. What if people find out that I had an abortion? I would never be able to live that down. There, there I told myself.  Everyone would be proud and I will not have to hear anyone’s harsh comments about me getting pregnant. I mean besides, being a mother is a disadvantage and a curse. I am going to abort and that is that  I said, convinced.

Now we were face to face with the clinic and my heart beat turned to thunder.  We were now literally five steps away from entering when suddenly these two anti-abortion protesters stopped us dead in our tracks. They introduced themselves as Marilynn and Marilynn’s granddaughter, Colby.

Marilynn with her brown winter coat looked like an oversized chocolate marshmallow with whip cream in the center. She had to be about 35 years old. Colby’s face was a cotton ball with rose buds as cheeks. She wore a gray corduroy coat that fit snug.  She was 17, two years older than me, at the time.

Colby spoke first. You would think since she was close to my age she would have had more of an effect on changing my mind. But, no, I almost instantly ignored her and brushed what she said aside. I mean how much could she relate to me and understand my circumstance? She didn’t fornicate out of wedlock, so she ought to have minded her own business.

Shaylah, AJ & Colby

Seeing, that I was still walking toward the clinic, Marilynn walked along side of me, grabbed my arm gently and asked if I could just please listen for a few moments. I was going to ignore her as well but before I could, she presented some pamphlets and posters that displayed babies that were aborted, or in her words, “killed”.  I felt compelled to see what she had to say about them. As I turned to my boyfriend, he stared at me furiously, barely blinking. His dark deep wrinkles shriveled up as he urged me to ignore them. Once he realized I was not going to budge his urges subsided.

The babies, well what was left of them, were fully developed regardless of how many weeks they were; the corpses ranged from two to twenty-four weeks old. Their transparent bodies were filled with a thick, charcoal-colored chemical that liquefied their insides. Their fragile, fragmented bodies were dismantled, making them look like some type of freakish lab experimentation that went wrong. “The babies that you showed me were actual babies; just smaller and underdeveloped? They were not just some glob of string like cells, called the fetus that would later form into the child- the fetus was the child in its entirety?” “Yes, you are correct, adds Marilynn, the abortionists don’t want you to know that you are murdering your precious baby, so they use words like “fetus” instead of baby and “abort” instead of kill.”

“Are you going to let the abortionist butcher your child to pieces? Do you know your child was not a mistake but planned by God? She asks me as she points to the verse in the bible that says how God knew our name and all about each and every one of us before we were even born.

Before I can answer her questions, she repeats herself and asks me if I was going to let the clinic butcher my child. As my stomach churned and felt a little light headed as I imagined them ripping my 2 month old child’s body apart, I answered no.

Colby and Marilynn laughed and hugged me with all their might. I cried while they embraced me because little did they know that I had a bigger issue to abort now;  the disappointment I will cause for my family and friends when they find out I am pregnant and keeping the baby. When I was in their arms, I felt like I could get through it. But the minute they let me go and dropped my boyfriend and I at his house, I knew I was alone again. Well, I thought I was. But they ensured me that they would keep in touch and help whenever I needed it.

They kept their word. A week later they invited me to their home town, Bridgeport, to share my testimony with their friends and family.

Even 7 months later, on August 10, 2010, when I had given birth to my 7 lbs. 14 oz. son, Alander Zaccaeus Folson, they were both there; Marilynn and Colby.

When I look at my son, I always think of that miserable morning day when my life was changed forever. I could have let the pressure caused by my society weigh me down and force me to abort my son. I could have killed my child unintentionally. I could have pleased my boyfriend enough so that he could stay with me. I could have done a lot of things. But one thing I could not have done was kill something that I knew was a part of me—something that once destroyed could never be restored; my identity.

I gave birth to my destiny; my son. Ever since I had him I have never felt so alive. I used to think that popularity, good grades, expensive clothes (so expensive it hurt my pocket and my feet) and having so many to be proud of me was all that I needed to make me feel like I had purpose. But, I came to the epiphany that the best things in life are free and that having a few to be proud of me like my Lord Jesus Christ, myself and my son are all that I need to know that I have purpose.

Yes, when my boyfriend told my whole school that I had given birth to a son, of course I lost a lot of respect, confidence and hope from friends, teachers, family members and so forth.

Yes, I couldn’t play sports or hang out as much as I used to. Yes, I couldn’t think about only me anymore. Yes, I lost myself….my selfishness.

Raising a child showed me how to raise and discipline my own self so I do not get out of line. I learned that though it seemed that I was self-less as I thought about how others would react or behave if I had a child. But, I was too blinded to see by my selfishness of wanting to have the spotlight, gratitude, and recognition. This was what I feared most of losing once I had my son for it would be all about him and not enough about me.

But, here I was wrong. You see, I found out that the very thing I feared of losing because of my son, I gained.

I gained recognition for being a young, single African American mom who after giving birth, though missing a horrendous amount of days of school, graduated in the top 1% of her class. I gained gratitude by those that doubted me at first and labeled me as a statistic; another name and number in the record book of black shame. I gained the spotlight. Now, all eyes are on me to observe how good of a mother and young lady I am and how good of a son and gentle man my son will turn out to be. Also, I was given this privilege to show the reader how I developed into becoming my true self and how I took hold of my destiny; my son.

I write before you as a firm believer in Christ and a true believe that being a mom is a blessing and privilege because it takes someone with great skill, tolerance, young/child-like (pure) love, self-respect, wisdom, motivated, humility, intelligence (do some of these adjectives ring a bell?), and resilience to be a great teacher. Just as I teach my son, he teaches me how to be a better mother and person, every day. I do not know about you, but to be taught every day how to be a better person is priceless and something worth cherishing.

Personhood is on the move in the state of Ohio.  Men are unsheathing the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) to cut the throat of the abortion industry and render it dead, Dead, DEAD!  Thank God the state of Ohio has some Godly men who have not fallen into the devil’s deceitful trap of praising the “Ohio Heartbeat Law,” which may indeed save some babies but will never deal with the sinof abortion.  The ‘Ohio Heartbeat Beat Law” represents the same old tired and failed political strategy the pro-life movement has been initiating for the past thirty-nine years. 

Incremental legislation is a failure because it always ends with the unwritten seven word caveat, “…and then you can kill the baby.”  It is a failure because it uses the devil’s means to accomplish God’s ends.  The devil is the ultimate incrementalist.  It is a failure because it never allows us to wield the Sword of the Spirit.  God’s powerful Word is left in its sheathe.  It is a failure because it always seeks compromise.  It is never a good idea to compromise God’s Word.  It is a failure because the devil himself would sign every piece of the incremental legislation we have come up with so far.

Yes, that includes the big three exception clauses (rape, incest, life of the mother).  It includes parental notification, the 24 hour waiting period, parental consent, fetal pain bill, partial birth abortion ban, infant born alive act, Ohio heartbeat law, ad nauseam.  All of these may save some babies, but they will never end abortion.  Even Dr. Dobson, a strong supporter of all this incremental legislation, admitted that, “…the Partial Birth Abortion Ban would not save one baby.” 

None of these pieces of incremental legislation, no matter how well-intentioned, deal with the sin of abortion.  They are simply an attempt to regulate it so that a mother can still kill her baby, and feel good about it.  That’s right!  The upshot of all this feverish incremental legislation has resulted in mother’s feeling good about killing their own babies.  Unintended consequences anyone?

The one piece of  political legislation – the only legislation we will support and work hard to get passed – is that which allows us to unsheathe the Sword of the Spirit (God’s Word).  Personhood is that legislation.  It deals with the sin of abortion.  It stops all compromise – let God be true and every man a liar.  It elicits God’s Help – He promises to watch over His Word to perform it.  It spells and end to the devil’s deceitfulness – the Word of God exposes the lie.  It protects every child – no matter how small.  The gates of hell cannot prevail against this.

“Abortion will come to an end in America when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will come to an end – and not one second sooner.”   

Thank you Jesus for the Godly men in Ohio.  Pray for them.

In Christian love,
