Day Ninety - Seven
John 11:25 & 26 (NKJV)
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, thought he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
Because we hold so dearly to this earthly existence it is difficult to believe these words of Jesus, but they are the foundation of our faith, His wonderful promise that we will be forever in His presence

Day Ninety - Eight
John 4:34 (NKJV)
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work."
Just as Jesus spoke, we also are to do the will of our Father God who loves us, and to live a life that draws others to Jesus - the abortion of an innocent unborn child would never be a part of God's plan for our lives

Day Ninety - Nine
Acts 10:38 (NKJV)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
God our Father also promises to always be with us and in His strength we also can go about doing good and leading others away from sin and destruction and to Jesus who is life, life abundant and life forever

Day One Hundred
John 14:6 (NKJV)
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
There is a remedy to all the ills of life and His name is Jesus Christ - say No! to abortion and say Yes! to Jesus - a choice never to be regretted
Abba, Father You commanded - "You shall not murder!" (Exodus 20:13) and yet every day women around the world make a choice to prematurely end the life of an innocent unborn child, with great thanks we pray Your unconditional love and forgiveness over the women who have made or have considered making these choices and the men who encourage them to do so, we also pray that women and men throughout the world will make the correct choice, that they will know Your Son Jesus Christ and that their eyes of understanding will be enlightened to the hope of His calling, the glory of His inheritance and the exceeding greatness of His power toward those who believe in Him; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus, the One who gives us life, that we rejoice and pray. Amen.
Ron's Story
At the age of 10, Ron held a gun to his head and attempted to kill himself but the gun misfired and now for the rest of his story
At age 16, Ron's mother, a hardened prostitute gave birth to Ron, a trick baby, Ron was unwanted and unloved by his mother and his mothers pimp, his mother could not make money as a prostitute with Ron in her stomach
However after several failed abortion attempts Ron's mother gave birth to the unwanted and unloved child who was born prematurely without a pancreas, underdeveloped lungs, and without proper care Ron almost died of pneumonia, but God, just as He does for each of us, had a plan for Ron
When Ron began school he had a severe stutter and was diagnosed with learning disabilities and at home he was often a witness to his mother being beat by her clients and/or her pimp and sometimes he was included in the beatings
But in 1973 Ron's life changed for the better when his 4th grade teacher handed him a Gideon Bible and began to use that bible to teach Ron to read, Ron for the first time saw hope and he began to understand that God had a better plan for his life and that his mess with God's help could become a message of hope for others
Ron became a scholar, a student body president and a young pastor who preached a message of hope and healing that led his mother, grandmother, grandfather and many relatives and friends to Jesus
Today Ron is Pastor who leads people to Jesus around the world, an accomplished author, TV host, and adviser to world leaders
Ron was born a "trick baby" but with the love of one teacher and a Gideon Bible the trick was on the devil
Cami's Story
He did not know me, but he hated me. In fact, he tried to kill me and I could not even defend myself. A woman in a flannel nightgown, her mother, a caring neighbor and Jesus defended me. The Lord says that even when my father or mother forsake me, He (Jesus) will take me up. The word forsake means to renounce, cast aside, or abandon, my father forsook me. Jesus took me up.
My father and mother married when my mother was 17. My father owned a country and western bar in town and enjoyed the lifestyle that came with it. My mother was beautiful and an award winning western dancer. In the first year of their marriage my mother became pregnant and while my mother was overjoyed, my father was furious. From the moment he knew of me, he hated me, I represented to him the end of freedom to enjoy the lifestyle he loved.
Once my father knew of me he plotted to have me killed. My mother was young and he thought she would easily go along with his plan to abort me. What he did not realize was that from the time she was a small child her parents had been building in her a firm spiritual foundation based on God's Truth.
My mother turned away every suggestion my father made to abort me. Then my father threatened my mother with divorce and she became afraid, how would she be able to take care of a new born baby? Maybe she should agree to the abortion she thought. So she went to my aunt (her sister) for advice and my aunt said under no circumstances should she have an abortion, together as a family they would make it by trusting God.
My father filed for divorce and my mother moved in with her parents (my grandparents). During this time my father continued to come around trying to get my mother to go with him to a clinic and have an abortion. He even tried to bribe my mother with offers of gifts if she would have the abortion. Many times my grandfather would have to chase my father away and one time when my father refused to leave my grandfather had him arrested.
Through all this my mother (6 and 1/2 months pregnant) was still in love with my father and hopeful that he would have a change of heart. One night my father called and told my mother that he wanted to get back together. He asked her to come over to his house to discuss reconciliation. My mother, however, was ready for bed wearing her favorite flannel night gown so she asked my grandmother to drive her over to his house so she could meet with my father. When they got to my father's house, my mother got out of the car and went to the front door, but just before she knocked the Holy Spirit stopped her. As she turned to go back to the car the front door opened and my father grabbed her by the hair and drug her into the house. By the time my grandmother got into the house my father was punching and kicking my mother in the stomach in an attempt to force the abortion. My grandmother, much like Jesus on the Cross, fell upon my mother and covering us with her body, she took for us the punches and kicks my father intended for my abortion.
The commotion alerted a neighbor and she called the police and when they arrived they found both my mother and my grandmother badly beaten and rushed them to the hospital. Upon admittance it was discovered that I had no heartbeat, my mother was told that I was possibly dead and for 12 hours my mother laid in the hospital bed praying for my life. Jesus came that I would have life and have it more abundantly and today I am very much alive with two beautiful children. Life and death is in the power of the tongue and I was blessed to have a mother, an aunt, and a grandmother that all spoke life.
In Jesus we have God's unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness, in Jesus there is no condemnation, just love and forgiveness. God gives each of us the ability to make choices, He asks only that we be guided by His Word and He gives us the Holy Spirit to guide us in His truth. A woman can make a choice to have an abortion but in doing so she is making a choice to destroy the life of an innocent unborn child, a child God has created for good. Please, make a choice for life and please continue to pray - Help stop the abortion of innocent unborn children today.
