21 Days of Hope for the Unborn – Day 8: Each Life Lovingly Planned
The Lord knew us before He formed us, He set us apart before we were born and appointed us to fulfil what He had already meticulously planned uniquely for each one of us!
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
~ Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)
Every human life is lovingly planned and written in the Lord’s Book of Life.
“And I saw the dead, small and great,
standing before God, and books were opened.
And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according to their works,
by the things which were written in the books.”
~ Revelation 20:12 (TPT)
King David had a similar revelation to Jeremiah and was in awe, as he writes in Psalm 139:13-18 (NIV),
“For You created my inmost being;
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in Your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are Your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand
— when I awake, I am still with You.”
Every person has a place in God’s heart and thoughts, each person has a destiny in Christ to fulfil, and afterwards life in eternity as His Bride, one in joyful union forever!
Much of humanity, however, is now partnering with demonic entities to bring destruction and death to Jesus’s Bride as 200,000 babies’ lives are destroyed in the womb every day.
I am constantly astounded by God’s merciful and meticulous ways and thoughts! Recently, I had an encounter in worship. I was in a corporate prayer meeting leaning into the Father’s heart for the overturn of Roe.
I felt myself to be taken up into a heavenly place. I was adoring Jesus when I saw before me a huge golden vessel like a pitcher or urn. It was massive and beautifully ornate. As it remained in front of me, I inquired of the Lord: “What is this?”
He said: “This is My bottle, that holds every tear ever shed over every abortion for all time!”
Then I saw a great multitude gathered — numbers beyond what I could take in. I knew they were every baby that had ever been aborted. Astounded that He has these little ones of now multitudes from babies and children going up to women and men, around His throne — they were in a glorious cloud of light and they were so beautiful.
I heard them crying out with one loving voice over and over, saying, “Father, forgive them!” I was deeply moved by seeing and hearing this. I immediately understood they are all now glorified in Christ, they are interceding for all who aborted them — the abortionist doctors and staff, their parents and those who recommended the destruction of their lives, even the legislators.
“Father, forgive them!” is their cry, a great heavenly cloud of witnesses, a multitude in prayer for the whole earth right now over the shedding of their blood through abortion.
Our Father has collected all the tears ever shed over abortion by anyone, for all time, in His bottle. I understand that our part as the Ekklesia who have humbled ourselves in repentance and prayer and fasting and gone into the courts of heaven, the verdict rendered is “forgiveness and mercy”, not vengeance.
The Lord has taken the blood of the innocent who were killed from the earth where it has been crying out, and glorified each one! They are now with Him and are joining the intercession with the Lord Jesus, Whose blood cries out mercy, and the Holy Spirit and our prayers. This now continues daily until abortion is abolished everywhere and every life is protected as of the utmost value.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, how can we ever really thank You?
Today we worship You with great adoration. Our hearts are overwhelmed with the great revelation of how much You love and how intentional You are for every life You give!
We choose to join in Heaven’s prayer – with the great cloud of witnesses who are crying out day and night, “Father, forgive them.”
We too say: Father, forgive them. Father, forgive them — they know not the value of life or the wonderful plans You have for each person.
Lord, in Your mercy send Your truth and light to lead us out of this ongoing tragedy. We humble ourselves under Your mighty hand and we again turn to You. Thank You for the favour and blessing that is in the covenant of the blood of your Son.
Father, forgive us — Jesus, have mercy on our nation and the nations of the earth where we have made the shedding of innocent blood a lifestyle and every woman’s right!
Holy Spirit, visit our nations in dreams and revelation of the truth about abortion, and send a spirit of repentance to lead us in Your ways, the ways of life — abundant and life eternal. In the Name above every name, we pray, Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Amen.
Holy Communion:
Jesus said:
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven.
Whoever eats this bread will live forever.
This bread is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Thank You, Jesus, for Your body and blood You gave for us to have life in You forever!
Worship:
Acts of Repentance:
Lean into the Lord’s heart and ask for more to be revealed about what He has written about you in His book. Ask for grace to help take action today on what is written. Simple steps of obedience change everything!
Prayer Points:
- Join our prayers with the USA in the battle to overturn Roe v. Wade — There is an abortion case (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization) presently being considered by the nine US Supreme Court Judges which could overturn the famous abortion case Roe v. Wade (1973) which opened up abortion on demand in the USA for almost 50 years. This has resulted in the loss of life to over 62,000,000 babies in the USA. The verdict of the case is expected to be known in June 2022. If Roe v. Wade (1973) is overturned, or invalidated, it is expected that around half the states in the USA will move to make abortion illegal in their states. It is thought six out of the nine judges now have pro-life values.
- Pray that the Love Adelaide — Walk for Life 2022 on Feb 12th 10am-12pm will grow in momentum from the 5,000 last year — that nothing will hinder the church standing against legalised abortion, adding their strength and support to end the abortion crisis in our nation and beyond. Pray for more volunteers for the walk and for the weather to be favourable.
- Ask for the Babies Born Alive (Human Rights — Children Born Alive Protection Bill 2021) tabled in the Australian Federal Parliament to have favour, that it be allowed to go for a vote and be passed in this term of government with no more delay — so that in every state and territory in Australia, babies born alive after a failed abortion will receive proper medical care and legal protection.
- That people of South Australia will vote according to Life in the upcoming State Parliament elections. May they no longer support the politicians who voted for aborting viable babies even to full term, blocked vital lifesaving amendments and forbade all prayer and offers of help within 150 m of any place where abortions occur (including all major public hospitals).
- That many women and men will take up the call to be on the frontline in the fight for Life for the Unborn by joining a political party and running for office.
May God Bless you. Thank you for being a part of 21 Days of Hope for the Unborn.
‘And let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.’
~ Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)
