- 00:00
- Well, to say that I'm excited at 63 years old is the understatement.
- 00:09
- I'm not quite Simeon, but it's enough, Lord. I've seen your salvation and you can take me anytime you want to.
- 00:22
- It's good to know, it's good to see that this next generation is arising and that the message and the mantle and the vision and mission is being accepted.
- 00:39
- And you guys prayerfully are going to go further up and further in.
- 00:46
- And whatever we leave undone, you are going to get done in Jesus mighty name.
- 00:52
- Amen. Hallelujah. And it's not just these group of young men like Jeff and Lou.
- 00:59
- And Marcus and Pastor Zach, there's other young men around this nation that the
- 01:08
- Holy Spirit is moving upon and open their eyes and he's birthing them into this battle.
- 01:14
- And all I can tell you, brothers and sisters, the toothpaste is out of the tube and it ain't going back.
- 01:21
- The train is leaving the station and it's time for the church to get aboard. Amen. We got a task to be done.
- 01:31
- Amen. We got a mission to fulfill. We certainly have come into the kingdom for such a time as this.
- 01:40
- Amen. Hallelujah. So I'm so grateful to be here. How many of you have been challenged and encouraged and inspired and rebuked and corrected?
- 01:51
- Amen. It's the full deal meal here, right? Hallelujah.
- 01:57
- And very needful. But my heart honestly is full and I'm just overwhelmed by the faithfulness of God.
- 02:08
- I had to see, you know, when we first started in this battle, you could only see this from afar.
- 02:14
- It was very, very distant. And now it's coming near. It's coming near.
- 02:21
- Amen. And even if there wasn't, you know, abolitionists and things of this nature, how many know there still is a
- 02:29
- God in heaven? And this is not a matter of if, it's a matter of when, brothers and sisters. You mark it down.
- 02:35
- Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father. This, this abomination, this genocide, this sanctioning of evil will go the way of every bloody tyranny that has ever targeted any human being for destruction while being innocent.
- 02:52
- Because there is a God in heaven. Amen. And how many are glad that you know this
- 02:59
- Lord? How many of you are glad to love him, to serve him, to obey him?
- 03:05
- Amen. So grateful for that. Well, I hope in the time that I have here to kind of reinforce the message that this sequel to babies are murdered here, babies are still murdered here, to maybe reinforce some of the primary truths that must take place if we're ever going to see the end of the
- 03:37
- American Holocaust. So my title is, and I'm usually not big on titles, by the way.
- 03:43
- I'm kind of a prophetic preacher, which means I'm a slave to rabbit trails.
- 03:49
- But I'm getting old enough now that I'm losing track of where that trail was going. So I may need your help to get back up.
- 03:58
- I actually got notes too. Hey, God help us all. Hey.
- 04:06
- Well, first of all, if you have your Bibles, turn to Revelations chapter three. And while you're doing that, I do want to make some preliminary remarks.
- 04:14
- Now, the name of the title is openings that must be shut to end the
- 04:23
- American Holocaust. I know that's a long title. And typically, the longer the title, the weirder the message, right?
- 04:31
- At least that works for churches that I know. The longer the title, the weirder the church.
- 04:36
- You know what I mean? It's just somehow that's the way it works. But hopefully not for this message.
- 04:45
- How many is that, Revelations chapter three? Okay, I'll give you the specific verse in a little bit.
- 04:51
- I just want to give some preliminary remarks before we start digging in. I do want to lay a strong theological foundation before we deal with some specifics here.
- 05:02
- But here's some remarks. In every age, evil divides men and nations into three groups.
- 05:16
- Those that advocate for evil, those who ignore evil, and those who rise up in Jesus' name to abolish evil.
- 05:31
- And so, obviously, the critical question before us is, what category do we find ourselves in these days?
- 05:43
- In the case of abortion, our national sin, which has brought national calamity upon us all, is the question, is the question, is the church pro -life enough?
- 05:59
- Enough? Or is the question, the church,
- 06:05
- Christian enough? The fact that we even have to put a qualifier to the word
- 06:16
- Christian, how many know there's a failure there? Historically, it was the church of the living
- 06:25
- God that was armed with three specific revelations from Holy Writ.
- 06:32
- Number one, Jesus Christ is Lord. And he's not just Lord of the individual, he is
- 06:41
- Lord over all, over all men and all nations.
- 06:47
- Amen? That every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that he is
- 06:52
- Lord to the glory of the Father. That is a revelation that has armed the church of the living
- 07:01
- God, especially when it comes to atrocities, especially when it comes to genocide, especially when tyrants and dictators and despots arise with bloody tyrannies that target innocent people for destruction.
- 07:20
- The church of the living God knew that Jesus Christ was Lord of all.
- 07:27
- They also understood the sacredness of human life, that man is made in the image of God.
- 07:36
- And they also believed that upon this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
- 07:50
- And as you heard from Zach, literally, the death camps, the abortion mills that spot the landscape across America that is literally hell on earth.
- 08:05
- They are the literal gates of hell and they will not, they never have and they never will prevail against the church of the living
- 08:19
- God. How many believe that? Now, somehow being raised with the
- 08:26
- American church that has been unduly ill -affected by this culture, how many know to a large degree we have lost these revelations and these understandings?
- 08:36
- And somehow we have been convinced that it is spiritual to ignore this evil.
- 08:47
- You know, Jesus said the day will come when men will kill you thinking they're doing God's service. And how many know a lot of people believe that abortion is doing
- 09:00
- God service? They actually believe that. I don't know if you talk to a lot of Christians, a lot of ministers and even abortionists themselves.
- 09:14
- They truly believe they're giving these children a one -way ticket to heaven and they don't have to suffer like you and I.
- 09:21
- So you didn't know that some of these abortionists are missionaries, right? You didn't know that. You didn't know they were serving the purposes of God, right?
- 09:29
- You didn't know that, right? Doing God's service. Amazing. Number two, second preliminary mark.
- 09:39
- Babies are not dying so politicians can get votes.
- 09:50
- These children are not dying so pro -life and pro -family groups can have fundraisers.
- 10:02
- These children are not being led to slaughter so pastors can preach once a year a sanctity of life message.
- 10:16
- It has been stated in this conference that if there's ever a cause, if there's ever something that is happening in the world that we need to get out from among them, this is it.
- 10:37
- How many besides me, you don't need another job, another task, another ministry to put your hand to?
- 10:45
- How many know life is busy? It's busy and we need to work ourselves out of this as soon as possible.
- 11:01
- Unfortunately, many have made a career and there has been this unholy alliance between the pro -life industry and the pro -life politician.
- 11:17
- And so the politician gets his votes and the pro -life groups get their money and everybody gets what they want except whom?
- 11:29
- The true victim of abortion, that child who is made in the image of God. And how many besides me, you want to see this unholy alliance broken up and the pre -born set free in the mighty name of Jesus?
- 11:44
- Amen. And that's what we're about here. So why are children dying?
- 11:53
- Well, how many know we're up against an evil one who has come to kill, steal and to destroy?
- 12:02
- And a lot of times, you know, we preach that message from the pulpits around America. Yeah, we deal with this evil guy and he's religious and he craves worship and he comes to kill, steal and destroy.
- 12:12
- But we never ask the underlying question, why? You know, why this murderous rampage?
- 12:21
- How many know many times the enemy understands this battle a lot better than you and I? See, here's the thing for our adversary.
- 12:36
- He understands this truth. He either goes after the seed of man or he gets dispossessed.
- 12:48
- Every time the enemy raises his ugly head, he goes after the seed of man.
- 12:57
- You know, Jesus told us that there's a direct connection between children and the kingdom of God.
- 13:06
- You remember that? Remember when they invited, the parents wanted to come and have
- 13:12
- Jesus bless their kids and the apostles, you know, tried to send them away. The Lord got upset with that.
- 13:18
- He said, bring the children to me for such is the kingdom of God.
- 13:24
- Now, if you've been in apologia, you know, this is a gospel of the kingdom church.
- 13:31
- Amen. And the scripture tells us that children are blessings, they're gifts, they're his reward.
- 13:38
- And blessed is the man that has a quiver full of them. Amen. So God compares not only children to the kingdom of God, he compares them to ammunition, arrows.
- 13:54
- Amen. So what is this all about, about birth control and abortion?
- 14:00
- And what is this really when you break it down, when you reduce it to its common denominator, what is this all about,
- 14:08
- Alfie? This is the enemy's vain attempt to put off the inevitable.
- 14:21
- This is a frontal assault against the very kingdom of God itself.
- 14:31
- And somehow, some way the church has lost sight of these truths when it comes to this battle.
- 14:40
- So in other words, the same reason why the world and some who even go to church and name the name of Jesus Christ and they'll go in and they'll abort their children, the same reason why they are doing that is the same reason why most
- 14:57
- American Christians will not have children.
- 15:06
- Do you know right now we're not even replacing ourselves as a nation? You know that, right?
- 15:18
- How many know to a large degree we ourselves are not in agreement with Almighty God when it comes to marriage and family and children?
- 15:27
- See, we believe the same things that the world believes, that they're burdens and they're expensive and we got things to do.
- 15:36
- We even got to serve God, right? Brothers and sisters, how many know children are important to God?
- 15:47
- In fact, you go to the book of Malachi, what's the purpose for the covenant? What's the purpose for a man to walk in fidelity to his wife?
- 15:58
- Because God wants to fill the world with godly seed. Who understands that truth?
- 16:10
- The very enemy we're fighting against. Help us,
- 16:17
- Lord Jesus. Third, never again has happened again.
- 16:25
- Where do we get the saying, never again? Where did that come from? Do you all remember that saying, never again?
- 16:34
- The Holocaust, the German Holocaust. Well, never again has happened again.
- 16:40
- And like Germany before us, our nation is consciously choosing death to solve our economic and moral problems.
- 16:50
- And I mean, no, it didn't work for Germany and it certainly is not going to work for us.
- 16:57
- Amen. And tragically, we may have won the battle on the ground with boots on the ground.
- 17:08
- We may have won that war, but we have lost it ideologically.
- 17:14
- And it's sad to say this has come with the blessing and sanction of the state. And for the most part, the silent consent of the church of the living
- 17:22
- God. And how many know these things ought not to be? Amen.
- 17:28
- All right. You have revelations chapter three, verse seven. Here we go. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write.
- 17:41
- These things says he who is holy, he who is true.
- 17:49
- He who has the key of David, he who opens and no one shuts and shuts and no one opens.
- 18:01
- Now, obviously, these words are in red.
- 18:07
- I'm not big on red letter additions. But that's supposed to indicate that this is
- 18:14
- Jesus Christ himself saying these things.
- 18:20
- And so this incredible authority is ascribed. Listen to the king of kings.
- 18:29
- To the Lord of Lords. Let me ask you something.
- 18:35
- Is that an ecclesiastical title or a political title?
- 18:44
- It's a political title, right? He didn't say he's the king of pastors or the
- 18:50
- Lord of bishops. He's the king of kings and the Lord of Lords.
- 18:55
- And the apostle John describes Jesus as the ruler of the kings of this earth.
- 19:05
- Amen. And he has this authority that the Bible describes as a key.
- 19:12
- And how the key works is that he opens doors. And he shuts doors based on the good counsel of his own will.
- 19:25
- Amen. In other words, he has the authority to permit or prohibit what goes on in his universe.
- 19:39
- And how we know Jesus Christ gave similar authority to his church.
- 19:48
- To recognize church leaders, he has given them the keys to the what?
- 19:56
- To the kingdom. And how does that operate? Well, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.
- 20:04
- And whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Amen. Now, a lot of the modern day church want to use that as a prayer formula.
- 20:11
- I got news for you. It is not a prayer formula. It is not
- 20:17
- I bind you devil and I loose you angels. That is not what he is talking about.
- 20:25
- He is talking about church discipline. Discipline. He is talking about having the authority of God in the form of a key that if you repent, put your faith and trust in God, the church leader has permission from God to open up the door of his kingdom and allow you in to be birthed into the kingdom and added to his church.
- 20:49
- But if you screw up in the kingdom, you live in blatant, unrepentive sin.
- 20:58
- How many know it is a process to go through? And if that person does not repent, refuses to adjust his lifestyle, how many know that same church leadership has the authority by almighty
- 21:16
- God to open up the door of the kingdom and escort them out and shut it?
- 21:27
- Now, I know that is foreign, especially in America. That is a foreign American concept to most people.
- 21:35
- But how many know that is not foreign biblically? In fact, the apostle Paul exercised this in 1
- 21:42
- Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. Amen? There was an unrepentant guy doing the unspeakable that made pagans blush.
- 21:50
- And here is a church not dealing with and the apostle Paul comes over and is like, what are you guys thinking? A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
- 21:58
- If this guy does not repent, get him out. In fact, he said, turn him over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh.
- 22:06
- Are you kidding? Excuse me? Excuse me?
- 22:12
- Hey, it is one thing if God turns you over, but are you telling me biblically that God has given the same authority with men with feet of clay like you, with a sinful nature?
- 22:24
- They have that kind of authority in the earth? Well, American Christians would say, heck no.
- 22:35
- The Bible teaches otherwise. And how many know in the case of that young man, the discipline worked and what did they do?
- 22:51
- Of course, the apostle Paul had to remind them you screwed up by not getting rid of him and then he repents and you do not bring him back home.
- 22:57
- What are you guys thinking? Take him back in. Open the door, let him back in.
- 23:07
- I do not know what that does with your theology, but I am just telling you that is what the Bible teaches. Now, the point
- 23:15
- I am trying to make here, brothers and sisters, is there are doors that can be opened and there are doors that can be shut.
- 23:22
- There are doors that need to be opened. There are doors that need to be shut.
- 23:30
- In the days of Nehemiah and Ezra, do you remember their walls were down, their gates were burned.
- 23:38
- They were a vulnerable people. There were openings. There were exposed areas.
- 23:46
- And God used Nehemiah as the governor and Ezra to call the church as families to these walls to rebuild them and restore.
- 23:59
- And why was this important? Because without it, they are vulnerable to attack.
- 24:06
- And so there were openings that needed to be shut. Why? For the welfare, to secure a future and hope for the people.
- 24:23
- Now, brothers and sisters, you and I live in a nation. Let's just be honest about it.
- 24:29
- Spiritually and morally, our walls are down. Our gates have been burned.
- 24:36
- We are vulnerable from attack from within and from without. And for some reason, the
- 24:43
- American church ignores this danger at our own peril. And the chief amongst these exposed areas is the topic we are tackling today.
- 25:01
- Child sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood. There are two sins. I'm just telling you, biblically and historically, that once they reach heaven, you are in deep, deep trouble with the
- 25:14
- Almighty. And that is child sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood and parading our sin like Sodom.
- 25:22
- And we have done both to the nth degree in the face of a holy God. And we don't have to be the predictors.
- 25:30
- We don't have to be, you know, fortune tellers of the future. We got the record.
- 25:36
- We know who God is. We know his character. We know his dealings with men and nations.
- 25:42
- And I am the Lord and I change not. And I don't have to be a prophet nor the son of a prophet.
- 25:50
- We just got to see how God dealt with men and nations in times past and just connect the dots.
- 26:01
- We're doing the very same things. So what does that bode for our future?
- 26:16
- Brothers, sisters, I'm just telling you, there are some openings in this
- 26:22
- Holocaust that must be shot or shot, shot.
- 26:28
- There we go. That was Jeff Durbin, D -U -R -B -I -N, this
- 26:35
- Rusty Thomas character. I have no idea who he is. You know, they're listening, right?
- 26:48
- But there's doors that must be shot, brothers and sisters. Shot, did I say shot again? This is a conspiracy.
- 27:04
- Shut, shut the door. Keep out the devil. Amen. Amen.
- 27:15
- All right. I want to go through three major doors that have to be shut, brothers and sisters, if we're ever going to win the day and see this evil vanquished from our nation.
- 27:33
- Everybody say exceptions. Exceptions.
- 27:43
- Okay, so how many know before Roe versus Wade, abortion was being legalized in certain states around America?
- 27:56
- Okay. Actually, the first state to legalize abortion was
- 28:03
- Mississippi in 1966. Colorado soon followed,
- 28:13
- New York State. There were others. And how was this possible?
- 28:20
- How was it possible before Roe versus Wade for states to legalize, in some form or fashion, abortion, child sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood?
- 28:35
- Well, for Mississippi, part of it was the exceptions, but it also had the added element of racism.
- 28:46
- What happens if a black man rapes a white woman? What are we to do in these cases?
- 28:55
- Well, we get rid of the child. Brothers and sisters, there are three major exceptions that are being utilized to fuel this
- 29:15
- Holocaust. Rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
- 29:24
- That is the camel's nose that got under the
- 29:30
- American tent. And with Roe versus Wade, the camel has moved in and now owns this bloody tent.
- 29:42
- But it was the exceptions. It's always the exceptions.
- 29:48
- And you got to know, we're dealing with very, well, we're dealing with the devil himself, and he's a schemer.
- 29:57
- He has wiles. He has strategies. But we're also dealing with his human puppets that are very crafty and very deceptive.
- 30:07
- And they do a few things to pull on our heartstrings to make something that was previously unspeakable and move it to become mainstream.
- 30:20
- And so you probably, you're not as old as I am, some of you, most of you are here, but back in the day, they were talking about, you know, there's a 12 -year -old girl and she's been savagely raped by her stepdad.
- 30:35
- And, you know, where's your heart, America? Where's your heart? This poor little child, she's been raped by her stepdad.
- 30:43
- And you Christians, you're going to keep that child from aborting this baby?
- 30:53
- What kind of monsters are you? How in the world would you stand for something where this girl has been brutally molested by her own stepdad?
- 31:06
- How could you stand by and force her to have this baby? What kind of heart and soul do you have anyway, you monsters?
- 31:19
- How many know this is how they roll? Now, listen, I am not making light of that travesty.
- 31:28
- How many know this stuff does happen? In fact, if I was a police officer concerned about human trafficking, concerned about pedophilia, concerned about child molesters, do you know where I'd be stationed?
- 31:44
- At the local death camp. But we can't have that. There's a double standard, you know, we got to uphold.
- 31:56
- And that's why the death industry become the untouchables. If it was
- 32:03
- Elvis, Kesto, who brandished a gun at the abortion mill, do you know where he'd be right now?
- 32:15
- Siberia. The double standard is thick.
- 32:30
- But brothers and sisters, this is how the progressives, this is how the Marxists, this is how the liberal take territory.
- 32:40
- They're very, very deceptive in their manner. And they're always trying to achieve a high moral ground to make you look like you're the evil one.
- 32:55
- You're the evildoer because you love God and you love your neighbor as yourself.
- 33:01
- And this is how they excuse and justify their bloodlust and their rebellion against almighty
- 33:07
- God. This is what we're up against, brothers and sisters. The exceptions.
- 33:16
- Now, I have personally ministered to young ladies who have been raped.
- 33:25
- Just as a minister. Some of them chose life for that child.
- 33:37
- Some of them went through with an abortion. And so I specifically ask those who went through with the abortion was justice served?
- 33:52
- Was there a merciful closure to your ordeal? You know what the answer was?
- 34:02
- No. Why, sweetheart? Why? And then tears would begin to flow.
- 34:10
- Because I ended up doing to someone what was done to me. I was violated.
- 34:19
- So what's my response? I'll violate another. Brothers and sisters, how many know we have to be biblical in our response to these issues?
- 34:34
- Our foundation is God's word. And the creator of the universe has already rendered a verdict on this situation.
- 34:43
- And it comes down to the matter of guilt and innocence. If you have your
- 34:50
- Bibles, turn to Ezekiel chapter 18. We're going to find it in verse 20. We're talking about exceptions here.
- 34:58
- And these are openings that must be shot if we're ever going to end this holocaust.
- 35:03
- And this is what God's word says on the matter. The soul who sins shall die.
- 35:12
- The son shall not bear the guilt of the father.
- 35:18
- The son shall not bear the guilt of the father.
- 35:25
- Nor the father bear the guilt of the son.
- 35:33
- The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself. And the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
- 35:41
- It's something about called personal responsibility. And quit playing the victim card.
- 35:49
- Our nation has become a nation that has adopted victimhood.
- 35:56
- And that is a clear sign that the judgment of God is upon the land. And you want to know what restoration looks like?
- 36:06
- You want to know when God is at work to restore a nation? Every man takes responsibility for his own sin.
- 36:17
- Real important stuff, brothers and sisters. And so the son shall not bear the guilt of the father.
- 36:26
- In the case of rape, who is guilty? The father or the child? The father.
- 36:34
- So he's the one that is supposed to bear the penalty of that crime.
- 36:42
- You know, I do this all the time at abortion mills because they're always going to bring this up. And so I'm talking to the pro -abort lady.
- 36:49
- I said, all right, here I am. I got my sons here. All right, so this is what you're telling me.
- 36:55
- So I just go off the wall right now. I just get all crazy and I just start beating you up. And I just brutally rape you right here, right now.
- 37:03
- And there's my son right over there who's a witness to the crime. And you're going to come along and you're going to put him to death for the crime that I committed.
- 37:12
- Is that what you're proposing here? How in the world is justice served by putting to death the innocent party?
- 37:28
- And yet this is the thinking, not just of the pro -aborts, but many in the church of Jesus Christ.
- 37:38
- Boy, do we need to think biblically. God help us. All right, so exceptions, rape, incest, life of the mother.
- 37:55
- These are the openings that crack the door to bring about this
- 38:04
- Mack truck of abortion on demand. And until we shut those doors, abortion on demand will remain with us.
- 38:15
- They have to be shut, brothers and sisters. They just have to. Okay, number two.
- 38:21
- And we've touched on it with the film, but we have to drive this home. We have to deal with the second victim ideology of the pro -life movement.
- 38:39
- As you heard, no self -respecting pro -life organization believes there shall be a penalty against the woman who decides to murder her baby.
- 39:00
- Let me ask you something. Is that biblical? It's not, brothers and sisters.
- 39:10
- See, the pro -life movement is using the same rhetoric, the same language, and honestly, the same methodology that those who advocate for baby murder.
- 39:31
- Now, here's the dirty little secret, brothers and sisters. You've heard a lot of numbers that have been tossed out at this conference.
- 39:40
- The neighborhood of 60 million, 62 million, 63 million.
- 39:47
- And by the way, that is just surgical abortion. That does not take into account the chemical abortions.
- 40:01
- You know, the pro -life side always wants to talk about how we're winning the battle, how we're winning the victory, because they'll talk about surgical abortions going down.
- 40:17
- There's a lesson from history here, brothers and sisters. And this may be startling for some of you.
- 40:24
- During the German Holocaust, how did they exterminate the Jews at the beginning of the
- 40:30
- Holocaust? What did they do? What did they do? They would line them up and do what?
- 40:38
- And mow them down and throw them in a mass grave. Do you know, psychologically, the
- 40:44
- German shoulders were breaking down, right? It was hard for them to go home to their families after being participating in this brutality.
- 40:56
- And so as they wanted to continue the Holocaust, we got to make a change in our thinking and we got to move from surgically mowing these
- 41:08
- Jews down to a chemical solution. So this way, the
- 41:15
- German soldier can distance himself from the horror that he's putting his hand to so he could function at home and in society.
- 41:27
- Do you know the same company that produces the human pesticide, RU -846, is the same company that provided the gas for the showers in the concentration camps in Germany?
- 41:44
- I just went down a rabbit trail.
- 41:53
- It's amazing how history tends to repeat itself. So now we're dealing with the advent of the chemical explosion of abortion.
- 42:10
- And God only knows the astronomical figure of chemical abortions.
- 42:19
- In fact, I would dare to say, you know, the
- 42:27
- Christian Sabbath day, Sunday, how many babies made in the image of God are being aborted in the pews of the
- 42:42
- American church every Sunday while we give our money to crisis pregnancy centers hoping to save some lives.
- 43:04
- I know it's getting quiet in this church, but brothers and sisters, this is the reality that we're facing here.
- 43:13
- It is the reality that we're facing. And one of the major reasons why this door to abortion continues to remain open and innocent blood continues to flow is because we will not come into agreement on the nature of what abortion is.
- 43:38
- It is not a healthcare issue that can be resolved by a legal technicality.
- 43:44
- It is a crime. God calls it murder and it must be penalized by law.
- 43:50
- And if we don't do that, God's justice will never be established. And you and I will never be cleansed from blood guiltiness, which we have to deal with the penalty against the woman.
- 44:11
- I'm going to read you a quote. This is from the actual
- 44:16
- Roe decision. Please pay close attention to these words because it is these words is the major reason why we have
- 44:29
- Roe versus Wade and the Holocaust we are staggering under. Listen to Blackmun.
- 44:37
- There are other inconsistencies between 14th
- 44:43
- Amendment status and the typical abortion statute. Now, if you remember
- 44:49
- Roe versus Wade, this is from my state of Texas. Wade was a representative from the state of Texas arguing on the behalf of the pre -born child.
- 45:04
- And of course, Roe was Norman McCorvey, that God in his providence used our ministry to lead her to Christ.
- 45:13
- Okay. But the point of the matter is they're arguing this case before the
- 45:23
- Supreme Court. He goes on to say, it has already been pointed out that in Texas, the woman is not a principal or an accomplice with respect to an abortion upon her.
- 45:42
- If the fetus is a person like state of Texas, you're telling us, you're telling us that that child in the womb is a person just like you and me.
- 45:55
- That's what you're selling here at the court. It's a person. But we notice in your own statutes in Texas, we see some inconsistency here.
- 46:08
- We see some discrepancy here. And what is it? Well, if that fetus is a person, why is the woman not a principal or an accomplice?
- 46:25
- Further, the penalty for criminal abortion specified by Article 1195 is significantly less than the maximum penalty for murder prescribed by Article 1257 of the
- 46:41
- Texas Penal Code. If the fetus is a person, may the penalties be different?
- 46:53
- Now, here's how this works, brothers and sisters. Those in the pro -life movement who have studied the
- 47:01
- Roe versus Wade decision, they said, aha, we found the
- 47:06
- Achilles heel. We found how we're going to overturn Roe versus Wade.
- 47:12
- Because when they were being questioned, one of the judges brought up, hey, now listen, if you're saying this child is a person, then you'd have a very hard time for your case, wouldn't you?
- 47:25
- Oh, yes, judge, we'd have a hard time. She'd go, yeah, because they would be protected by the other amendments that protect you and I.
- 47:32
- So your case would fail here. Oh, yes, judge, it would fail. Sure enough, yeah, it would.
- 47:39
- And so they go, that's it. All we got to do is establish the personhood of the child, and voila,
- 47:46
- Roe versus Wade is going to be overturned, and they'll be set free. Well, I'm going to tell you something.
- 47:52
- Yeah, he opened that door slightly. And then with this quote, bam, shut it.
- 48:01
- Shut it. Why? Because the Texas statue itself did not reflect the justice of God.
- 48:15
- Brothers and sisters, listen, this is not rocket science. This is Christianity 101. There are different governments that God has established.
- 48:25
- Three main ones, family, church, and civil government. And all three are to teach us one self -evident truth, that we are to government ourselves under God.
- 48:36
- Self -government is the key to liberty. Amen? Now, I'm going to ask you a question.
- 48:48
- A woman, now, listen, I know there's certain situations where there is duress, there is coercion.
- 49:01
- I've seen it personally at abortion mills where women are literally dragged in against their will.
- 49:08
- I'm not making light of that. Some of that does happen. And they are true victims at that point.
- 49:18
- But the majority of these women know exactly what they're doing and they will boast and brag and celebrate it in your face.
- 49:32
- Now, the calling on civil government,
- 49:44
- God's deacon, God's minister, what are they called to do? They're called to punish evildoers, right?
- 49:56
- And protect those who are good in God's sight. How many believe that in Romans chapter 13?
- 50:04
- Now, let me just ask you a question. A woman knowingly paying somebody else to murder her child, does
- 50:15
- God consider her a victim or is this an evil crime before God?
- 50:23
- And what does God expect? He's expecting a penalty for that crime, right?
- 50:33
- The child in the womb, is that child evil?
- 50:40
- Now, I know we're all born with a sinful nature, conceit and sin. I get that. I get the depravity of man, but I'm talking legally now.
- 50:48
- That child in the womb, is that child, by virtue of conception, is that child evil?
- 50:59
- No, legally, that child would be considered good, right?
- 51:04
- So, what is the obligation of the state? Now, brothers and sisters, please hear this.
- 51:15
- Roe versus Wade betrayed the sacred trust of civil government.
- 51:22
- And our government has been defending the indefensible ever since. And they literally use their authority to protect murderers who accept blood money at the expense of these children's lives and will use that same authority to punish you if you seek to interpose and save that child's life.
- 51:48
- How many remember Pater Familius? Do you know what
- 51:53
- Pater Familius was? Under Roman government, it was the father who had the authority to do this or this when it came to what?
- 52:09
- The life of his own children. The father in Rome, if that baby was born and it looked like a weakling or if it wasn't his own or whatever the case may be, that father had the authority under Roman law to go this, bam.
- 52:29
- In which case, they would take that child to the infanticide wall and leave it out there for the elements or beasts to devour it.
- 52:40
- And by the way, that was the church's first rescue movement. The first abolitionist movement was to rescue those kids from the infanticide wall and to raise them in the
- 52:55
- Christian faith. This is not the church's first rodeo, brothers and sisters.
- 53:01
- This is who we are. This is what we do. This is how we roll. Amen. Now, you and I will look back at that in horror and the reason why we look back that in horror, it's because law is based on the fickleness of a human being.
- 53:28
- People with a sinful nature, emotionally, we're all over the place and that's within two minutes.
- 53:39
- And we're actually with a straight face saying that law is centered in the fickleness of a fallen creature.
- 53:52
- Now we look back in horror at Peter Familius. Well, guess what? We got the same thing happened in America today, except it's not a man this time.
- 53:59
- It's a woman. And we're actually saying, this is law.
- 54:07
- This is fixed, eternal, solid law.
- 54:14
- And of course, here's the other struggle with this. What about the father?
- 54:21
- If he doesn't want the child, what would happen to the father? If he kills the baby in the womb, what's going to happen to him?
- 54:30
- He's going to be charged with a crime. He's going to jail. If another woman, and believe me, there's a lot out there.
- 54:40
- They want their babies and sometimes they'll harm women to get it. If a woman, another woman besides the mother goes after that child that does harm to the child in the womb, what happens to that woman?
- 54:56
- Charged with a crime. Can anybody say schizophrenic law?
- 55:06
- We're calling this law. We're calling this law. And what is it based on?
- 55:15
- Well, today I feel like keeping my baby. I had a bad hair day.
- 55:22
- Sorry, kid, you got to go. And when you question that mentality, well, that's just law.
- 55:32
- Really? You're calling this law? I don't think so.
- 55:39
- I don't think so. Not even close. So we got this huge inconsistency, this discrepancy, brothers and sisters.
- 55:50
- What time we got, brother? How are we doing on time? And you're up at two, which means
- 55:58
- I better close this out real quick. In Jesus name. Sorry, Jeff.
- 56:10
- We got this side over here says keep going. So this side's going kill him. So brothers and sisters, this is another opening that has to be shut.
- 56:30
- It just has to brothers and sisters. And it doesn't. And see, this is what the enemies of the
- 56:36
- Lord are going to say. So you hateful Christians, you're just if a woman gets an abortion, you're calling for the death penalty and all this stuff.
- 56:43
- Listen, there's the death penalty doesn't happen for serial killers. No, no.
- 56:52
- Listen, there's such a thing as called courts of law. You know what
- 56:58
- I'm saying? I mean, there's different degrees of killing in the code, right? It doesn't mean if a woman has an abortion, she's automatically going to suffer the death penalty.
- 57:11
- There's actually processes, appeals that we go through to get to the truth. So justice might be served.
- 57:17
- Amen. It's not an automatic deal. But of course, they're going to use that against us. And of course, they're going to accuse us of hatred for the woman and hatred for the sinner.
- 57:28
- No, no, we're Christians, we're church people. We just want the state to do their duty before God.
- 57:36
- And then we got to do our duty before God. So what is our duty? Well, once justice has been served, we go to the person in prison and we do what?
- 57:44
- We minister the gospel to them, right? So the state found you guilty, your crime has found you out, your sin has found you out, but we got a savior who can save you, darling.
- 57:57
- If you just repent and acknowledge the truth that you murdered your child and repent of it, God, grace will tumble into your heart and absolutely transform your life and set you free.
- 58:08
- So what are we asking for here? State, you do your duty before God, you care for the welfare, the physical welfare of men and nations.
- 58:18
- And church, you do your duty before God, which is a ministry of grace, and you care for the spiritual welfare of men and nations.
- 58:27
- Amen? All right, last thing real quick, and I'm done. This is the third door that must be shut to end the
- 58:39
- American Holocaust. Any sanctuary city for the pre -born, local, county, any state that passes a bill of abolition that criminalizes abortion, you must have in the statute itself, once it passes, it's not open to debate.
- 59:08
- And we will not answer to the Supreme Court. When we pass sanctuary cities and bills of abolition, as far as the feds are concerned, you're done, it's over.
- 59:27
- We will not answer to you. Because where the courts ignore the
- 59:35
- Constitution, we ignore the courts. Amen? And this is where the doctrine of lesser magistrate is so critically important, brothers and sisters, because there's nowhere in the
- 59:49
- Constitution that it demands the states to make a suicide pact with an oligarchy.
- 59:59
- And this whole judicial supremacy is an idol that has to be toppled in the minds of men.
- 01:00:08
- It just has to be, brothers and sisters. So three openings that must be shut, real quick.
- 01:00:14
- First one, what is it? Exceptions. Second one, penalty for the woman who is culpable, okay?
- 01:00:25
- And what's the last one? Ignore the courts. We will not answer to the courts.
- 01:00:34
- We will defend the law that defends the innocent pre -born child.
- 01:00:40
- And we don't answer to you no more. Why is that? Because you guys are the lawbreakers, and we are the law keepers in Jesus' name.
