My Experience10/31/2013 I wish I would have documented my experiences regularly after each opportunity to pray for changed hearts toward abortion as well as the eradication of abortion. I am sad that the 40 Days Of Life, which "is a focused pro-life campaign with a vision to access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil to end abortion", is drawing to a close. I have enjoyed walking the sidewalk in front of the only abortion mill in the state of Kentucky. I have envisioned that Satan is sitting on the other side of the mirrored doors leading into the den of death as I pass them every few minutes. The day the picture above was taken my 8 and 5 year old children were with me. As they walked with me, periodically they would wander close to the door and I would guide them away from the caged lion they were wandering dangerously close to. "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1Peter 5:8 I distinctly remember the first time, as a Christian, I felt the presence of evil. My 20 year old was about 6 or 7 and we were in a comic book store. My son wanted to go there to find some "yugioh" cards. I started thumbing through the comics and found some comics that were pornographic. We continued to browse, looking for what we came for, and I came across a display of ouija boards. No wonder I felt the presence of evil, it was there!! Thankfully God made me sensitive to that. Michael had found what he came for and we paid for it and quickly left. I told him why we left in such a hurry and he confided that he had knew that there was something wrong in there. As Christ followers, God has given all of us a sensitivity to evil. It is in the form of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world." 1John 4:1-3 This is the same Spirit who hovered over the water in Gen. 1 and rose Jesus from the dead. That is a pretty powerful asset to have with you 24/7. I wish I would act like I REALLY believed that more than I do. God help my unbelief. NEXT A Praise and A Sober Thought
