Thank you all very, very much for watching and sharing. Excuse my severe congestion right now.

00:05

I am in Louisville, Kentucky right now at the last standing abortion mill in the state,

00:14

EMW Women's Surgical Center. It's the last one. This is the one that was the center of the controversy and big event that happened earlier this year where some brave Christians came out here and actually sat down, were arrested.

00:31

Praise God, God settled all that and things seem to be going fine with that now.

00:37

So this is the last death camp in Kentucky, one left.

00:43

It's a tremendous thing for us considering we have so many left in Arizona right now. Moms and dads inside this clinic, my name is

00:55

Pastor Jeff. I'm here from Phoenix, Arizona.

01:02

I know about this place. I've prayed about this place.

01:08

We're here because we have hope for you and your child.

01:16

We're here because we wanna see this evil place closed. We wanna see this place closed to no longer take advantage of mothers and fathers like you.

01:32

Closed to no longer destroy your little boys and girls. I want you to understand something.

01:39

Please hear my heart on this. I mean this humbly. I'm not here to attack you or to hurt you. I'm here out of love for you.

01:49

We're not using just rhetoric and sharp words to cut you and hurt you.

01:55

We're here to tell you the truth. We're here to tell you what God has been telling you all week.

02:02

We're here to remind you of what you've been trying to suppress this whole week. Please hear me on that.

02:08

I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to be a voice for your child, for the unborn child that you have in the safety of your womb, your little boy or your little girl.

02:23

I'm here to be a voice for them. I'm not here to manipulate you. I'm not here to mess with your emotions.

02:30

I'm here out of genuine love and concern for you and your child. This location has destroyed countless little boys and girls.

02:49

The people out on this sidewalk today have genuine love and concern for you.

02:54

I want you to please to receive that. We're not being paid to be here today. We're here to serve you and to take care of your needs.

03:05

We're not here to take anything from you, nothing. But behind this window in the place that you sit, there are people that want to take from you.

03:17

They want your money. They want the blood of your child. They want your soul. They hate you.

03:25

They don't have any love for you. The people who want nothing from you are out here.

03:33

We want nothing from you. We only want to give to you. We don't want to take anything from you.

03:40

We're here to give you the message of life, forgiveness and peace. And we're here to plead for the life of your child.

03:50

Would you please listen to me for a moment, mom, about what they're gonna do to your child.

03:57

Your little boy or your little girl is gonna have their arms and legs torn from their body.

04:11

The doctor, the assassin that you're paying will go into your womb and will destroy your child by dismemberment and suction.

04:27

They will crush your little boy's skull. They will crush your little girl's legs.

04:35

They will disembowel your child. And this is the horrible thing. After they're finished dismantling your child, taking it apart piece by piece, limb by limb, they'll then take your child and put it back together again on a tray.

04:54

They'll have to make sure they get every piece of your child out of you so that you don't get sick. So on a tray next to your body, they will piece together your little boy's body.

05:08

They'll put its face and legs and arms and heart onto a tray like a puzzle.

05:20

And you see, when you leave this location, mom and dad, you're not gonna leave here no longer a mom and a dad.

05:27

You're gonna leave here the mother and the father of a dead child. And that will be true forever.

05:35

Is there forgiveness in Christ? Yes. If there's genuine repentance and faith in Christ, but will it somehow not be true?

05:47

Will you be able to walk away from this moment? No. No. When you kill your child, it'll mark the calendar of your life.

06:02

It's not something you can walk away from. I'm a pastor and I minister to so many women that have killed their children by abortion.

06:12

When I was a chaplain at a hospital, I used to sit in front of women all the time who were completely broken, whose lives were destroyed.

06:27

Women who had tried to commit suicide because they killed their child via abortion and they thought they could walk away from it, but they couldn't.

06:40

They couldn't get away from their conscience. They couldn't get away from what they did to their own child. Every time they went into a store and they saw a mother pushing a baby in a cart or every time they'd pass by a daycare center, every time they saw children playing on a playground, they couldn't stop thinking about what they'd done to their own child.

07:00

How old would they be now? What would they look like? What color would their eyes be? Would they be like me?

07:06

Would they be silly? Would they be serious? Would they be good at math? Would she be a dancer?

07:15

Would he like karate? They would think these things. And I remember sitting in front of these women with tears in my eyes, my heart broken and hurting for them, listening to their stories about how they walked into an abortion clinic one day and they thought they could kill their child and get away with it, but they couldn't.

07:38

And while a chaplain at this hospital, I learned that there's an official medical condition. It's a type of PTSD related to abortion.

07:48

When a mom kills her son or her daughter as an image bearer of God, knowing

07:55

God's standards is not something you can merely walk away from. You'll never be able to escape it.

08:02

The only way to escape now is to come out those doors.

08:08

The only way to escape the judgment of God, the just judgment of God is to come to Jesus and trust in him and what he did on the cross and in his resurrection.

08:22

But you see, listen, I imagine if you're in Kentucky right now, that you are familiar with the

08:28

Christian culture, right? Everybody's Christian in Kentucky. My wife is from Bowling Green, Kentucky, which actually is pronounced

08:36

Bone Green, Tuggy, if you're from there. But everybody in Bowling Green, Kentucky is

08:43

Christian. Even if you're not Christian, you're Christian because it's a Christian culture, right?

08:49

Like everybody's Christian, right? What else are you? Well, it's Christian, this place is, there's

08:54

Christians everywhere. Church is everywhere, right? Christians everywhere. And maybe you've heard the message of Jesus and you heard it like this, pray this magic prayer.

09:04

And if you pray this prayer, Jesus will punch you in the face and get you ticket for heaven one day. If you say these words in the right way, if you pray this magic prayer, you go to heaven one day, you have eternal life.

09:18

And so nothing you ever do here really matters. I'm here to tell you today with humility and love, that's a lie.

09:26

That's not the gospel. That's not the good news of reconciliation with God. It's not about merely heaven one day.

09:33

It's about reconciliation with God today. And if you're in there right now and you've been under the hearing of the message of Jesus your whole life, and you thought the message of Jesus was, just say these magic words and you go to heaven one day, you've been lied to, that's not the gospel.

09:50

If you've turned from sin to Christ to trust in him, then yes, you have eternal life and peace with God.

09:57

And yes, you'll spend eternity with God in heaven. But if you're in there right now, professing to believe in Jesus, and you're about to murder your child, and you have no conviction right now, and you can sit in there as a mother and a father, pursuing the dismantling and destruction of your own child, there is no possible way that you can know

10:26

Jesus at this moment. The way to testify that you know Jesus, that you have life in him, that you are actually in Christ, is that you walk out those doors right now.

10:39

You don't stay in a place of death that is murdering little boys and little girls wholesale every day consistently.

10:50

This place that you sit in, this ugly, disgusting, evil place is covered in blood.

11:02

You just can't see it. It's been wiped up.

11:08

It's been sanitized. But believe me, the blood of all the boys and girls that have been murdered in this clinic cries out to God.

11:20

And it is our hope today, our hope before God, our hope for you, that you would be rescued from the hands of these people that seek your lives.

11:38

Mom and dad, please hear my voice. There is good news today.

11:45

The good news is is that God in the person of Jesus took on flesh to rescue rebels like you and me.

11:54

He lived a sinless life. He died for sins and he rose from the dead so that all who turn from sin to trust in Jesus would receive reconciliation and peace with God.

12:06

And that's a free gift, but you gotta turn to him. Sitting in there is not turning to him.

12:12

Sitting in there is not experiencing his life. But there's more good news. The good news is the people out here today are sacrificing for you and want nothing from you.

12:23

We just wanna help you and provide for your needs. Could I tell you a story, please?

12:30

God, please allow them to hear me now, please,

12:38

Father. There have been so many stories of moms just like you who were inside clinics across the country and Christians like us have stood out here talking to them just like we are right now.

12:59

So my favorite story, it's my favorite, there's so many, is the story of Carmelo.

13:10

Carmelo's mom, Tina, was inside just like you, but I think for most of you, she was a little further into it than you are right now.

13:20

She was actually in pre -op on the table. Maybe you're in the lobby right now. Maybe you're just right behind this glass.

13:27

Tina was actually on the table in pre -op. They were about to go in and destroy Carmelo.

13:33

She had five children and she said that she couldn't afford another one. Her husband was inside the lobby just like some of you.

13:44

And they heard us outside saying what we're saying right now.

13:52

So he's in the lobby, right? And he is so challenged by what he's hearing.

13:58

He knows it's wrong. His wife knows it's wrong. But he essentially says, he says to God, he says,

14:06

God, if you want me to stop this, he says, give me a sign.

14:14

And so he literally turns around and looks out the window and he sees my friend outside standing in front of the door with a sign that says, please don't hurt your baby, we'll help you.

14:26

And so he then says, okay, God, if you want me to stop this, then let that man be the owner of, and he looks across like a hundred cars.

14:37

I mean, seriously, cars all over the street, outside the parking lot, down the road. He says, let him be the owner of that van down there.

14:46

So he walks outside to my friend Justin and he says, excuse me, sir, are you the owner of that van down there?

14:53

And he points to the van. And then my friend Justin looks down at the van and says, that van right there?

14:59

Yeah, that's my van. And so he tells him, he says, I just asked God, if you want me to stop this, let you be the owner of that van.

15:07

And so Justin tells him, go inside there and get your wife right now. He runs inside. He tells the

15:12

Planned Parenthood employees. He says, let me in there right now. They said, no, he said, I'll kick that door down if you don't let me in.

15:18

And they let him in. He got his wife, Tina. They came outside. We provided for their needs.

15:27

We got his business back online as a church. We paid for him to get his tools back. They were stolen.

15:33

His trailer was stolen. He owned a landscaping business. We bought all the stuff again. We got him tables and chairs for his house.

15:41

We've got them food. We babysat their children. And now Carmelo's alive today.

15:47

He's about three years old today now. He's alive. He's alive because a mom and a dad just like you who had already committed to kill their child heard our voice and they turned away.

16:08

Tina today pleads with Christians to get involved in the work that we're involved in because if not,

16:18

Carmelo would be dead today. You see, this isn't, guys, a hypothetical thing.

16:24

If you don't turn away right now and turn from your sin right now in the course that you're on, then by the end of the day today, you will be a murderer.

16:36

And it's amazing because you're not just a murderer. You're not just guilty of murder of some stranger.

16:43

It is a mother and a father perpetrating this upon their own child. Now, if you're in here right now and your child, let's say you're 10, 12, 13, 14 weeks maybe along.

16:54

Maybe you're 10 weeks along. Okay, do you wanna hear the story? God says that your child is knit together in your womb by his hand.

17:02

He or she is fearfully and wonderfully made. It says in God's word that we are all made in God's image.

17:10

It says in God's word, you should not murder. But if you wanna know what's actually in you right now, let's say you're 10 weeks along.

17:18

Your baby has a heartbeat. Do you know that? Do you know your baby's heart is beating right now?

17:28

Do you know at the moment of conception, all the little neat things about us, they're all right there in that moment.

17:37

The unique code of you is at that very moment. You are by nature a human being at that moment.

17:43

All that takes place is now your baby is growing. Fingernails, little fingers and toes, arms and legs.

17:52

A heartbeat. Your baby in your womb even starts to recognize your own voice.

18:02

Your voice brings comfort to your baby. Do you know that? That your little boy and your little girl in your womb while you're pregnant knows, recognizes your voice.

18:20

I really wish you would trust us. I do. I wish you would trust that our heart is pure and our motivations are pure and that we just want the life of your child preserved.

18:37

We want you to experience the beauty and the power and the love and being a parent.

18:47

Don't kill your child today. Isn't this crazy? Think about what I'm saying to you.

18:52

You have a stranger outside of glass right now who's not even from this state. I'm from Phoenix.

18:58

I'm standing outside this glass talking to strangers I don't even know. And I'm pleading for the life of your child.

19:04

We're offering you help. We're saying, what do you need? Do you need shelter? Do you need food? What do you need?

19:10

Do you need stuff for your baby? Do you need diapers? I bet you right now, if you walked out those doors and you said,

19:18

I'm not gonna kill my child, Jeff. Can you help me? I bet you with all the Christians watching around the world right now and all the people we have out here, we can take care of your diapers for the first 12 months.

19:30

You'd never buy one diaper. You need a crib? We got you. You need baby clothes?

19:35

We got you. And you know what else? If you walked out those doors right now and you said, hey, listen,

19:42

I'm not gonna kill my child, but I can't raise it. We would say, hey, thank you. Praise God.

19:48

We will adopt your child and we'll take care of everything to get there. You'll pay nothing.

19:55

Do you hear that? Your excuse that I can't afford this child and I can't raise it has just been taken away.

20:01

We will adopt your child. We will love your child. There are families out here right now that will adopt your child and love your child.

20:09

I'll adopt your child. I'll love your child. I have four children. I would love another one.

20:15

Don't murder your child today. You have no excuse. You've gotten the truth from us.

20:23

You've gotten the offer of help from us. We'll provide for all your needs, medical needs, physical needs.

20:30

What do you need? We'll take care of it. And we've even offered to adopt your child.

20:37

We've told you we're not here out of hatred for you. We don't want to hurt you, condemn you.

20:45

We just love you with a genuine love and we want to care for your needs.

20:52

Would you please come out and talk to us? We want to help you. Hey, if you come out, just look, if you came out for five minutes, five minutes, we'll show you the pictures of babies who are alive today, children who are alive today because a mother and father just like you, just about to kill their children, stopped and came out and turned away from it.

21:18

I can show you Olivia Grace and Cara. I can show you Carmelo. We can show you so many children who are alive today just because a mother and father like you turned away.

21:35

I wouldn't be faithful if I didn't tell you this very important thing. And it's the last thing

21:42

I'm gonna say. So I do hope that you listen and that God opens your eyes and heart to this.

21:50

And I do pray you turn away. Listen, this is the story.

21:57

Everybody out on the sidewalk right now, including everybody inside there is a sinner before a holy

22:02

God. The Bible says in Romans chapter three, there is none righteous, no not one, none who seeks for God.

22:09

There is no fear of God before their eyes. It says their feet are swift to shed blood.

22:15

There is no better testimony to the truthfulness of Romans chapter three than this. This is on high definition.

22:21

Romans three, their feet are swift to shed blood. Mothers and fathers walking into a location with no fear of God before their eyes, with a high hand shouting in defiance to God's gift.

22:41

I don't want your gift, I will shed its blood. If you deny what the

22:46

Bible says about sin and God, you're denying it in light of this perfect display of it.

22:56

A mother and a father seeking the blood of their own child.

23:05

So the Bible says that our condition is ultimately hopeless. We're without hope in ourselves.

23:12

It says that the wages of sin is death. What we deserve for our sins, what we've earned for it is death.

23:18

The Bible says that our sins have separated us from God. It says that we are without Christ condemned.

23:27

It says that we are under the wrath of God. But here's the powerful part of the entire story.

23:37

God promised in his word that he would bring a rule, a kingdom into the world that would destroy all the works of the evil one.

23:48

It would destroy sin and death. It would be a kingdom that would last forever and when

23:53

Jesus came into the world, he proclaimed that kingdom had arrived in the world. He called people to repent of their sin and to believe the good news.

24:03

And here's the good news. God became a man and the perfect person of Jesus. Though he is holy and we are not, though he is righteous and we are not, though we are the rebels,

24:15

God enters into history. He takes on flesh to represent his people, to live the life that they've failed.

24:23

He was righteous and blameless. He died for sinners and he rose again from the dead.

24:29

He has ascended and he has seated on his throne. He is king over you.

24:35

He is king over these United States. He is king over this abortion mill.

24:42

And the message of the good news is that if you turn from your sin to trust in Christ and put your faith in him, you will receive reconciliation and peace with God.

24:51

You will receive the gift of eternal life, but you have to come. The Bible says repent.

24:57

That's to have a change of mind. You have to change directions. You have a change of heart.

25:02

As in right now, you are seeking your child's life. Repentance means turning away and walking out those doors.

25:14

Jesus says this, truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my voice and believes him who sent me has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

25:29

Would you please come? Would you please come?

25:41

Listen, I'm about to put this microphone down and it's not about me.

25:48

It's not about the messages that we've been saying out here, but I just,

25:53

I'm pleading with you to hear this. If you haven't gone back there yet, there is time.

26:00

There's an opportunity right now for the life of your child. Don't let my words bounce around in your heart and your soul and your head for the rest of your life, knowing that you killed your child while there were people on the sidewalk pleading for the life of the child and saying that they will help you with whatever you need.

26:23

You are just moments away, just inches away from doing the most heinous thing that a mother and father could do to their child.

26:36

And you're within inches right now of judgment and wrath from God.

26:45

You have this moment where God has just given his love to you by sending people who don't even know you to plead with love and compassion for the life of your child and for you.

27:00

Oh, would you please listen? Would you please come? Look, come outside.

27:07

Give us 10 minutes of your time, 10 minutes. We will not hurt you.

27:15

We're not gonna wound you. We do not hate you. Just give us 10 minutes to hear your story, to give you good news and help.

27:27

Look, the door is right there.

27:32

They do not control you. They're not in charge of your life. They're not gonna have to sit with the guilt that you are over killing your child.

27:43

Don't give them that. All they want from you is to take from you. We want nothing from you.

27:49

We only wanna serve you. Just consider it. These people wanna take from you. They want your money.

27:55

They want your soul. They want the life of your child. They want your blood. We want nothing.

28:01

We only want to give to you. Please come out. Turn to Christ and live, moms and dads.

28:08

We just had a turn away. So maybe even two. We had two women leave.

28:15

One was crying, but we just got confirmation that one of these moms just turned away.

28:20

So what happened? Well, as they were walking, if I can get through this right now, I'm a little excited.

28:25

Yeah. I asked them if they had changed their mind and the younger, it looks like a mom and a daughter were here.

28:34

And I asked them if they changed their mind and they really didn't wanna look at me. Maybe some shame, but I kept asking, are you gonna keep your baby?

28:45

Are you gonna allow your child to live? Please let us know if we can do anything for you.

28:51

Please let me know. Are you gonna keep your child? She looked at me and she said, yes, you know, in a trembling voice.

28:57

And she said, yes. So I gave her some information about how they can contact us, but we have a turn away.

29:03

Praise God. Praise the Lord. So just wanna encourage you to mark it down.

29:12

We started off, Joseph and I talking about this kind of ministry and whether it's effective and the point of it all.

29:20

You guys got to see some preaching from a brother here. And then now you had got to see within this timeframe that you've been watching a live stream.

29:29

One for sure, but possibly two women that turned away and that's lives that have been saved.

29:35

So that baby, God willing, it's gonna be alive in this world because of the witness and testimony of Christians who just simply come out here and what was special about anything we just did?

29:50

What was unique or what amazing gifts did it just take to do this work?

29:57

I mean, it was just standing out here being faithful, telling them the gospel. It just showed up. It's just showing up, offering to help them.

30:03

And now they're driving off right now with the baby still in her womb.

30:09

And she's a mom of a living child now. So praise

30:15

God. It's emotional, isn't it? It's a powerful experience. There's no way to calculate the effect of this ministry.

30:25

There really isn't. I mean, we've tried to keep track ourselves of the lives that have been saved.

30:30

And at a certain point, you just kind of got to give up and just say, I really don't know. For us, it's somewhere around 100 babies confirmed.

30:38

And there's no telling how many babies beyond that have been saved locally that just haven't talked to us.

30:44

I know you guys have been doing this for a long time. There's just no way to calculate. There's 10 more on death row right now.

30:51

That one made a difference. Right. Continue to pray. That's right. There is 10 more, and God is faithful.

30:57

He's sovereign, and he allows us for whatever reason. I don't know why he chose someone like me to do this, but he is sovereign.

31:06

He is in control. We just need to continue to pray and show up. Right. Well, we know that he speaks out of the mouth of asses sometimes.

31:15

So he's done that in the Bible. So, well,

31:22

I hope you guys are encouraged by that. And for those of you guys that have been on the fence about this kind of ministry,

31:27

I do hope that moments like this kick you over the edge to get involved.

31:34

You know, if you're a Christian watching this right now and you've been challenged and you desire to do something,

31:40

I encourage you to go to your pastors, go to the believers in your church, point your pastors to these kinds of ministries, show them the actual content to say, look,

31:52

I mean, look, show them this stream. You have the stream. Show them this stream and say, look, from the time this stream started until this point now, we know of at least one, possibly two lives saved.

32:04

There's just no way to argue with that. I mean, I often say I have an irrefutable argument for this kind of ministry.

32:11

Number one, of course, the scriptures command this sort of a thing. But number two, I can hold the babies in front of you and show you the irrefutable arguments that this kind of ministry is good and it is necessary.
