God's Promises for You
On January 22, 1973 The Supreme Court of the the United States in a 7- 2 decision affirmed the legality of a woman's right to have an abortion under the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America
The heart of a child begins to beat 9 days after conception; the abortion of an innocent unborn child destroys by choice the life of the child
For the next 100 days "God's Promises for You" will be devoted to scripture based prayer to stop the abortion of innocent unborn children
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.
Since January 22, 1973 nearly 60 million innocent unborn children have been aborted in the United States

Day One
Genesis 1:26 & 27 (NKJV)
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His Own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
God created us to be like Him, God gave us Jesus to show us how; no matter what our plan is, God's plan is for us to be His beloved children

Day Two
Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV)
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says the LORD, "thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
We are always in the thoughts of our Father and His thoughts are for each of us from the very beginning to have hope, to be at peace, and to know that our future is secure with Him

Day Three
Proverbs 3:5 & 6 (NKJV)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
As Cami's aunt knew so well, "Have faith in God!"

Day Four
Psalm 118:17 (NKJV)
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
On that faith filled night so many years ago, Cami's mother prayed, "She will not die, but she will live and declare the works of our Father God!"
January 5, 2017
Day Five
1 Samuel 30:9 (NKJV)
But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Cami's mother could have caved in to the pleas of her husband, but she did not, she drew her strength from her Father God and the result was Cami who today serves God in a mighty way
January 6, 2017
Day Six
John 14:6 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Jesus is life and He came so that each of us could have life, an abortion of an innocent unborn child is an affront to His purpose
January 7, 2017
Day Seven
John 10:10 (NKJV)
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Jesus is the counter force against death and destruction in this world, it is the devil who whispers in the ear of those who choose abortion
January 8, 2017
Day Eight
John 1:4 & 5 (NKJV)
In Him (Jesus) was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Those that choose abortion are in darkness - they simply do not know how much they and the innocent unborn child they abort are loved by Jesus
January 9, 2017
Day Nine
John 11:25 & 26 (NKJV)
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though He may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
Do you believe this? Is the question everyone who considers the abortion of an innocent unborn child needs to consider and answer
January 10, 2017
Day Ten
Jude 24 (NKJV)
Now to Him (Jesus) who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.
Jesus is able to keep you from stumbling - He is able to keep you from making the wrong choice - He wants you to have a successful journey on this earth - He wants to spend eternity with you - Choose life - Choose Jesus
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 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.
