How To Guide: Ministry at the Mill

Father thank you for this opportunity to come here and to speak to our family our brothers and sisters, and I pray

Lord that You would empower what I have to say ultimately to serve your purposes. This is all about your glory

Lord You use weak men And I use jars of clay broken jars of clay so that you'd be glorified and so I pray that you'd use these words to again

Bless your people equip them challenge them Lord where there needs to be Encouragement let that be done

But I pray all the words that I would have would fall to the ground and only your word would ring true

In the hearts of your people people. It's in Jesus's name we pray amen So as pastor

Luke was communicating did a great job, too There's gonna be a lot of themes as you as you go about listening in the through the duration of the conference that are

Kind of interconnect that overlap, and I think as those things are repeated by myself and pastor

Jeff You'll see how God is driving some certain truths home, but again. It's an honor to be here

Just looking out and all of you is extremely encouraging Because you're you're here to to love your neighbor.

You're here to rescue preborn babies So it's it's encouraging just because we're not a lot of people especially in our nation

It's only a a small amount of people so to see you represented here is is awesome I think you know as you go about this fight, and we've been in this fight for a couple years

You know there's a lot Of discouragement you know there's babies dying we stand out at the mills we go to the mills on Tuesday Wednesday Friday and Saturday and the mills a place of course the abortion clinic with babies die

And there's a lot of death and destruction out there, but I think One of the things that is the most discouraging is the attitude of apathy within the greater

Evangelical Church as much as it pains you to stand out there and see mom and dad and even bring in their own

Kids and to have one of their offspring killed. I think one of the greatest discouragements is just the indifference

It's the apathy of our brothers And our sisters so again. It's it's a massively encouraging when a group of our

Group of Saints gets gets together and say you know what I want to do everything I can to equip myself to love my

To love my neighbor you know As what's already been communicated?

The scourge of federally sanctioned child murder has been unleashed upon your nation And now the duty lies to you to do something about it

It's your duty like Proverbs 31 8 through 9 says to open your mouth for the mute

For the rights of the unfortunate open your mouth judge righteously and defend the rights of the afflicted and needy

It's our duty is God's people to rescue those who are being taken away to death to hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter

Matthew 22 37 through 38 says love the Lord God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind

For this is the great and first commandment and the second is like it you shall love your neighbor as yourself So why do we do what we do?

It's just because God has commanded us to love our neighbor.

It's that plain and simple This This task doesn't lie to anybody else as what was communicated through pastor

Luke it's it's not going to be done by any other people group because We've been saved

God or man in his natural state and sin He hates God and he hates his neighbor we talk a lot about the enmity that natural man has against God But I don't think we talk a lot about The hatred that man actually has for his neighbor innately due to the corrupting power of sin so if natural man in the sin

Hates God and hates his neighbor than that the duty Belongs to us.

So if we want this to end if we were appalled by it It takes a lot more than just being appalled by the evil of something it takes now

I have to move from this place to the next place of actually getting involved what needs to be communicated clearly is

That when God puts evils underneath his feet you see it all throughout history. He doesn't typically use individuals, right?

He uses the church collective Meaning we are made up of the body of Christ and as Paul said we all have differing gifts

And we all play a different role. He says one's a hand one's a leg one's Whatever it may be a finger so you have a role to play and you have to understand that your role is the church is

Extremely important in this issue. You don't have to be a preacher You don't have to be me or or somebody else you play the role that God has given you and as you do that and as We all work together

Then we will see this this evil done away with So the purpose of my message let me move through it pretty quickly is that I want to speak about righteous principles

To go about effective abortion clinic ministry So I get that our logistics over in the

States is different than here You guys are just coming into this and we were at the youth conference today and one of the young guys said hey

You know we don't have abortion clinics here. You know these deaths are being done at the maternity ward So I totally get that as time unfolds.

You're gonna understand more About how this is gonna. You know Logistically gonna lay out so what

I want to focus on is the foundational or righteous Principles that transfer to any place in any time so these these principles are are not only good for us in the

States But of course they can go from Here there to Ireland to Scotland this will be applicable for you, but before we get into that I Think what

I wanted to talk about initially is some preparatory facts I mean before you get into this type of ministry which we need to we need to go to the

To the places where babies are being killed. We not only need to go to our legislature and Counseled them and teach them in the law word of God, but we need to go to these places of death

I mean this is where babies are being delivered to their destruction The the presence of the church has to be there the light and the heat of the church has to be at these places of death

But as you go you got to prepare yourself to know what you're getting into so when you know when the masses follow

Jesus just Tons of people he would always turn around and let them know hey, you've got a you got to count the cost

So I think we would be remiss if we didn't tell you the cost of getting into this. It's it's extremely difficult

It's it's one of the most difficult ministry environments That you can get into we go to strip clubs and preach the gospel as well as other places around the city but there's something about The abortion mill that truly is the gates of hell and you can it's just palpable as you're out there

You can you can feel it. You can expect as you get into this fight constant verbal abuse.

I cannot tell you how many How many times we've been cussed out words and hand gestures,

I can't tell you how many times Physical abuse we've been spit on Puns shoved guns have been pulled on us death threats

Loss of employment attacks on your reputation of course the law enforcement

Wants to push you around and abuse you and that will happen. We had a friend of ours just a couple days ago be mistreated by law enforcement, but It's it's a difficult place it is personal property damage

We've had guys try to run us over and run all our equipment over you get your vehicle damaged

I've gotten all sorts of stuff stolen out of my my own vehicle my pro boards

There's just not only that but there's just the deep Depression and heartache as you stand out there, and you actually see these precious image bearers of God being delivered to death.

It's it's hard It's a difficult ministry environment and incitement, but the scriptures never falsely romanticize

The reality of serving Christ right it's always been hard and costly to follow after him and to obey his commands

And it will always be Hard and costly look what look what Paul says about the ministry

This is type of this is kind of ministry 101 in 2nd Corinthians 4 7 11 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show the surpassing power belongs to God not to us

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed Perplexed but not driven to despair

Persecuted but not forsaken struck down, but not destroyed always carrying in the body the death of Jesus So that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies

For we who are always being given over to death for Jesus's sake so that the life of Jesus Also may be manifested to our mortal flesh

So I think what we what we've already heard is God doesn't promise a comfortable life for Christians It's it's the opposite if we cling to our comfort and all the pleasures that our different nations has to throw at us

We will be completely worthless as Christians It's just the it's the truth the comfortable life for the pursuit of the kind of all of my energy being

Just driven into my own self and of my own selfish pursuits that will always lead to Apathy and that will always lead apathy of course always leads to inactivity

Not being involved in that which God would command you to be involved that Jesus makes it clear

He says in Luke 21 17 Everyone will hate you because of me

Everyone John 15 18 through 21 Jesus says if the world hates you You know that it has hated me before it hated you if you were of the world the world would love you as its own

But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world therefore the world hates you Remember the word that I said to you a servant is not greater than his master

They if they persecuted me they will also persecute you if they kept my word

They will also keep yours, but all these things they will do to you on account of me Because they do not know who sent me

As we learn from history when Christians choose comfort over duty

The most oppressed people will always suffer So we choose that path the most oppressed people and of course the most oppressed

People group now in both of our nations is the unborn person we can choose that but it comes at a great cost

But we also learn from history when Christians Decide to be the salt in the light that God has commanded us to be when we as one of our mentors

Rusty Thomas a says when we come out of the salt shaker and just simply obey

Jesus And that is the means by which Jesus puts great evils and injustices under his feet

There's not a plan B for this situation We are We are his vehicle by which he will put this to death

It's our duty and so we are they gonna accept that duty or? More and more people will suffer

God gives us a kind of a balanced way of Talking about this

God gives us all things ritually to enjoy I love you know we love this planet We love our kids And we love all all that God has blessed us with but he's not called us to pursue comfort with all of our hearts

He's called us to go about the obeying his commands with all of our heart So abortion meal ministry just a couple like I said a couple preparatory

Just Kind of the truce before I get into the principles is not only hard and costly, but it's joyful, too

It's it's it's joyful, and it's kind of hard to wrap your mind around that again as you see life after life

Being lost as you see the trucks that come into the abortion clinic And they haul off these precious little baby, baby bodies and corpses.

It's a horrible Situation, but it is incredibly joyful as you go about it.

I mean think about The thousands and upon you know thousands upon thousands of babies that have been saved through our not only through our ministry

But of course through all the church is connected to ours. I mean think about Thousands and thousands of lives you know future men and future women now

You know able to live all these precious little toddlers running around Because of Christians just simply going outside of these killing places and preaching the gospel

I mean you're standing out there hour upon hour And a mother kind of comes up to you as you're preaching the gospel and she whispers into your ear

I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna let them kill my baby I mean just the utter elation and the joy that you experience

I was privileged to officiate the marriage of parents with these two little beautiful twin girls

It's absolutely curly brown hair just absolute beauties Who would be dead right now if faithful Christians just simply didn't stand out in front of Planned Parenthood and preach the gospel

And not only the results of seeing lives saved and hearts changed and moms changed her mind and dad's changed her mind

But for me what I think what maybe gets me up in the morning to go to the mill It's just the satisfaction to know that I'm doing the right thing.

It's a sense as a man It's a sense of honor That that I'm doing the honorable thing by the power of the

Holy Spirit of course no credit to me But there is no greater satisfaction to know that this is a great wicked scourge upon this earth and then by God's grace

He's opened up my eyes and now he's employed me into this mission and there's no greater satisfaction and honor than just doing the right thing

You know regardless of the results Yeah, so it's horrible.

It's joyful. That's what I want to do. Is this get into six foundational principles of effective

Abortion mill ministry, you know when we when we talk about foundational principles or fundamental principles

You can't compromise and neglect these types of things we compromise foundational principles

Then we will not have any type of effective ministry at the abortion clinic. It's important You have to let your practices be driven out of right biblical principles

Psalm 11 3 says of the foundations are destroyed What can the righteous do if we don't have the foundation of fundamental principles in place then of course

That will not drive right practice at the mill This is something I kind of want to stress because it's so important right principles always drive right practice

So an example of this and I don't want to get in it to it for too long But much of the pro -life movement believes that the use of scripture or the practice of preaching the gospel is actually counterproductive

To the task of saving babies That's like going into battle and throwing down your weapon.

You're not going to accomplish much you're gonna get hurt You're gonna hurt everybody around you, but you'll notice because of the these foundational principles.

You'll notice that this fight against abortion Is not ended

It's all based upon biblical principle and even as you go out to these killing places

You'll know that your principles again will always drive right practices There's there's wrong ways and we don't as pastor

Luke was talking earlier speaking about earlier We don't come as know -it -alls as if we have this figured out.

We are we are weak men We we're trying to learn from our mistakes But there is right ways and there's wrong ways to go about the work of rescuing babies at these killing places

And so we come here to try to give you good information to serve you to help you so you can avoid any unnecessary pitfalls that can dramatically

Affect your productivity or effectiveness and it can affect your life so principle one of the six principles that I want to go through is

We work to rescue babies for the glory of God that we are in this Under this umbrella that we do all that we do for his glory under the lordship of Jesus Christ Empowered by the

Holy Spirit, but this is all for his namesake This is all for his fame and we don't we don't do this for ourselves

First Corinthians 10 31 says so whether you eat or drink or whatever you do do all to the glory of God Isaiah 42 8 says

I am the Lord that is my name my glory I give to no one other nor my praised to carved images you think

Abortion is a wicked evil against our neighbor But it's an even more blasphemous evil against our

God and his glory Really abortion is an attack against the glory of God and Satan Accomplishes his mission of stealing and killing and destroying

Satan's efforts is to kill and destroy Anything that bears the image of God because we know that he is jealous for that glory in himself

He wants to exalt himself to the place of God So our primary duty at the abortion clinic is to glorify him and even the rescuing of our of our neighbors

Comes secondarily to that. So it's a very God centered God glory centered effort

We go about Glorifying his name and we leave all of the results to his prerogative in his divine

Will our sixth president John Quincy Adams was an amazing amazing guy

So from I think 1848 He would go to Congress every single

Monday and preach against the evil of slavery and he did it for 18 years without fail 18 years and he says this he says duty is ours

But the results are God if we set our minds on glorifying than his name

This is very important If we set our minds on glorifying his name doing it all for his glory

Then it affects all that we do and it Properly aligns everything that we do if we're there to just use some religious activity for our own namesake or for our own praise

Then that again affects all that we do we get into this ministry for our own namesake to acquire the praises of men to merit the work of Salvation to merit our own salvation, of course much of the pro -life movement is

Roman Catholic and they are out there Working for their own salvation if we would do any of that Do any of what we do for our own namesake for our own praise?

Garnering the attention of man to ourselves and we're doomed from the get -go in all of our all of our efforts will fail

Miserably God will not bless that James 4 6 says but he gives more grace

Therefore it says God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble

Again, if we go about this for self -centered glory seeking motives, it will render our efforts impotent like James 4 6 6 says he

He resists us. Can you imagine all of this works, especially getting into this type of work?

Sacrificing so much time and effort and blood sweat and tears and you're going to these killing places, which is not fun

And you're doing it for for vanity Not for his glory and all this work is burned up to nothing because he's resisting you

It's it's a crucially important principle principle one again We do all of this for his glory principle two is simple, but it's it's extremely important.

We must love everyone. I'm sorry Yes principle two

We must love everyone involved with child murder as we work to rescue babies We must love everybody involved with child murder as we work to rescue babies, and it's

I don't know about you But there's some people in life They're easy look easy to love and some people in life They're hard and sometimes those people are under your same roof

Right some people are harder to love and easier when you get out there And you see the vitriol and all the hatred thrown your way at the abortion clinic

It can be extremely hard to love the death squirts the moms the dads the people spitting in your face

It's hard, but if we don't love them not only them not only the babies, but we don't love them

Then everything will be all for naught First Corinthians 13 1 through 3 says if I speak in the tongues of men and angels

But have not loved I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have faith as to remove mountains

But have not loved I am nothing if I give all that I have and if I deliver up my body to be burned

But have I have not loved I gain Nothing if we're not motivated by loving and being and this is important not only motivated by love

But being loving towards the workers the moms and dads even the abortionist himself

Then our efforts will be worthless It's it's one thing to say I love you, but it's another thing to actually communicate the truth in love

And it absolutely matters out there. How do we love them? Well, I think number one we share the truth according to God's Word and the gospel love is not just some emotional

Thing it's not just encapsulated in words I love you love is just this action this intentional action of really

I think the best definition of love is love is to give to others at the expense of yourself

I think that's the best biblical definition. We see that all throughout how God loves But we love by sharing the truth according to God's Word and the gospel those who love their neighbor

At the highest level or those who share the gospel with them because we care about that Which is the most important to them and that's the state of their souls the greatest lovers on this planet are those that go to the loss go to their neighbor and Communicate gospel truth to them because again their soul is that which is the most important.

How do we love them? We share the gospel and we love them by speaking the truth in love with them

Ephesians 4 15 says rather speaking the truth in love. We are to grow up in every way to him who is the head into Christ So again, it does matter

Not only what you speak the content of your message towards them But how you deliver that message if we're out there and we're combative we're destructively combative

We're condemning. We're not self -controlled as we receive hatred and abuse

If we're overbearing and harsh and graceless Then we are not speaking the truth and love and like I said before This is a ministry environment that can really pull the worst out of you

I live in a family Of just scrappers and fighters. That's what we like to do in our pastime

I mean, I can't tell you how many parties and different occasions where I you know at the middle of the party I would see my dad and my uncle just start to throw fisticuffs.

I mean we just we're fighters And so we each have different temperaments, but this type of ministry tends to bring that out of you

You can really you can be overcome by the evil that's going on there

I think one of the most important verses for people who are in this fight is Romans 12 21 It says do not do not be overcome by evil

But overcome evil with good do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

So what can happen is you're out there and you have somebody firing at you curse words or whatever

It may be And just just a little tip here if you're standing out there and people are throwing stuff out of their cars at you

Which we get a lot Whatever object they have is actually going the same speed as the car so we stand

We stand on the street called baseline And there's guys that drive by just out of their hatred for us sometimes 100 miles an hour

And so I had a water bottle thrown out at about 85 miles an hour at me

So it was a water bottle rocket going 85 miles at a part of my body that I didn't want to get hurt

I didn't want to get hit, so it's important You're gonna be receiving all this stuff, and you know that you're being overcome by evil when your response to this type of Hatred and this type of abuse is fleshly

When you start to you don't want to turn the other cheek you want to You want to give them a right cross over the right in the head and maybe you're not gonna go that far

But you'll see yourself not responding with a collective Biblical response, it's just a reactionary vengeful response

We have to be careful because if we do so we're not speaking the truth and love principle to again We've got to love everything the foundation of all that We do has to be in love our great motive has to be love and we have to keep ourselves in check there

There is times if you're out there for so long That she will begin to be kind of overcome by that type of environment

And you have to be accountable to your pastors You're gonna be accountable to people in your life To your husbands and wives and kids to their parents to where somebody can look into your life and say you need to take a break especially in this

I remember when I first Started going to the mill in Phoenix. I was going maybe 20 hours a week, and it was out of balance of course

I was neglecting my family, which we shouldn't do in any type of ministry effort.

You know it's got to be family first But it got to a place. I was out there for so long that I was just responding

Negatively guys would get up in my face And I would get up in their face and thankfully pastor Jeff saw a video of me

And he said you better you better calm down because we don't want this type of testimony So it's important.

We have to keep ourself in check Third principle is we need to work We work to rescue babies because God has commanded us to do so and again

This has already been said so I'm not gonna go through this Too exhaustively, but you're gonna get this question over and over again.

Why are you doing this with your life? You know why are you here? Why don't you get a job? Why don't you do something that is more meaningful?

Why is any of this your business? That's gonna happen that's not only come from people if you're at these killing places serving

But it's gonna come from family members And our explanation is it's very simple But it's it's very important to hold on to we do it because we're

Christians this is the Christian thing to do true Christians obey the commands of Scripture out of love for God and Love for our neighbor

Jesus in John 14 15 says if you love me You will obey my commandments in Proverbs 24 11 says rescue those who are being taken away to death hold back those were stumbling

To the slaughter God commands and just just to repeat it each one of us to love our neighbors

So each one of us needs to play their specific role in this effort and this abortion issue

Again, that doesn't mean everybody's called to perform a priest not everybody's called to preach But we're all called to prayer and to support and whatever that may be we have to get involved and you say really yeah,

I Think we do and I think it's kind of encapsulated in this quote by one of our friends

Jeff He says abortion mill ministry is not a calling because a lot of times people will say you know what

I'm not called to this Therefore I'm gonna do something else. I would challenge you to really think about that It's this is not a calling necessarily.

This is a crisis situation. This is a crisis I mean if any one of us were walking down the street to do plan a whatever it may be

But if it was like a noble cause Let's just say if I was walking down the street and I was gonna go preach the gospel on the corner

And I just found out or two blocks away from me Some guy was killing toddlers in a building you better believe that I would even direct my attention away from my previous plan

Into this urgent situation that demanded my immediate attention. Does that make sense? So this is a crisis situation and when a crisis situation comes on a specific people

It's got to be all hands on deck Each and every one of us regardless of gender age or whatever is going on our lives

Sometimes you have to put the brakes on and say this is the situation that's not only destroying my neighbors, but it's bringing national calamity upon us and And that's why

I'm so grieved for what has happened here in Northern Ireland is to see the

Consequences and the ramification that's going to befall you and see how you're even the

Bible says that the very soil the very ground becomes

Polluted and corrupted based upon the shedding of innocent blood Principle number four the work to rescue babies requires constant prayer and Constant preparation.

This is absolutely essential the work to rescue babies requires constant prayer and Constant preparation you think you're depending upon God which we all are for every every

Breath we breathe every time our hearts beat is dependent upon his sovereign hand that upholds all things

But we are extremely dependent upon him in this place of death. We have to commit ourselves to continuous prayer

I would say if we have no if you have no prayer in your life You will have no power in your life to accomplish this will

You will have no power you have to if you want to go about this and that's what we hope and what pastor

Luke so clearly explained we hope that through our Humble efforts that your hearts would be ignited to do this.

And so you must understand this prayer is essential. We're praying Chiefly that the

Lord would be glorified and all that we do would not bring any reproach upon his name we're praying that God would be gracious to save souls and babies that God was soft on the hearts of mothers and Fathers that the

Lord would give us boldness and words to effectively communicate that the Lord would bring this child murdering to an end

But save and spare the the workers and we do pray in Preparatory prayers that God has given us in the

Psalms against evil. We're praying and we're not only continuous praying but we're We're memorizing and reviewing all the pertinent scriptures that are related to this issue

And I'm just gonna say a few of these but Proverbs 6 16 through 19 I would really encourage you to commit these to memory

Proverbs 6 16 through 19 says there are six things that the Lord hates seven that are an abomination to him haughty eyes the lying tongue hands that shed innocent blood a heart that devises wicked plans and feet that make haste to run to evil a

False witness who breathes out lies and one who sows discord among his brothers and as you break down Proverbs 6 16 16 to 9 through 19 if you just study that everything that God hates happens at that killing place

Everything that he hates is surrounded in and through what happens at these places of death The lying tongue the haughty eyes the heart that devises a wicked plan

Which would be the mother's actually planning and paying to have their children killed the feet that the feet that make haste to run to evil

Especially when you're preaching out the gospel and pleading with him, please mom. We love you

Please don't kill your baby and and you see them run into that place of death Everything that he despises and hates rightfully and righteously happens at this place the places of death

Revelation 21 8 says but as for the cowardly the faithless the Detestable as for murderers the sexually immoral sorcerers idolaters and all liars

Their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur sulfur, which is the second death This is such a an important verse to understand because the men who simply use their wives or their girlfriends or their acquaintance just as an object of pleasure and then go to this place to discard their responsibility in a medical waste bin to actually have their own son and daughter torn apart or Vacuumed apart or chemically killed

That's cowardly, you know, that's not cowardly. I don't know what is so a lot of times we do use that word

Coward sir, please God sees you as a coward turn from your cowardice Why do we say that because we're better than them?

Of course not for all sin and fallen short of the glory of God We're better than no one but we wanted them to see how

God sees them Because the abortion industry and the abortion mill is not telling them the truth

They're saying you know, what just do what you got to do. Don't worry about these crazy fanatics out there You just do what you have to do for yourself

Now we want them to see he we need these men these fathers to see that they're cowards in God's eyes

We want them to hear it out of our mouth at that point Because they don't want to hear it out of his mouth when they stand before him in judgment

So you'll see our videos and you'll see that word coward and a lot of people recoil But I just wanted to give an explanation.

That's why we use it It's it's absolutely pertinent for them to understand how God sees them as Isaiah 1 15 says make many prayers

I will not listen for your hands are full of blood What are those who call evil good and good evil and who put darkness for light and light for darkness?

But bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter just one more Psalm 139 13 through 16 says for you form my inward parts

You knitted me together in my mother's womb I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made wonderful are your works my soul knows it very well

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made being made in the secret intricately woven the depths of the earth

Your eyes saw my unformed substance and your in your book was written Every one of them the days that were formed for me when as yet there was none of them

So I would encourage you get on as you research and you prepare yourself get these

Scripture verses Into your memory because we must understand as we go out there our greatest and only weapon is the

Word of God It is if it's not his word being proclaimed. We are not accomplishing anything

It's by his word that he regenerates and he awakens the heart of man So we have to immerse ourselves in the

Word of God when you proclaim the gospel when we plead to the mothers when we engage in conversations when we dismantle the pro -abortion

Argumentation so preparation is primarily in prayer in the Word of God, but secondarily it's in research and reconnaissance

I don't want a lot of these things might not apply to you right now. I tried to do of course

You know center this around principle that would be transferable But it's gonna get to a place when you have to you have to figure this out

We had a great question from one of the youth at the youth conference today And he said you're talking about abortion clinics, which we have thousands.

We're actually hundreds in our nation He said we don't have abortion clinics. We have maternity wards and our question

So he said what do we do and my reply back to him was figure it out We got to figure it out right and I'll help you too you can find me on Facebook just just Add me as a friend and then if you say

I need help figuring this stuff out I'd love to help you But you get to a place when you've got to figure it out for yourself as pastor

Jeff said, you know You guys have buffers you have to stand 10 20 30 feet well stand 10 20 30 feet away 150 feet away 200 feet away with the gospel in your mouth tracks your hands

We'll help for these mothers the light of the church must be in these places of darkness regardless of the limitations

Absolutely Essential but questions that you can ask her when are the kill days?

What time does this place open and close who was the abortionist? What are the laws and the ordinances when it comes to my activity their amplification devices?

Can I use them? Can I not? Where are you allowed to stand it'd be good if you find a certain location where they're killing babies you get into the city website

You look at their property lines so you can know what you can and can't do one of the greatest things to do is just give them a call and Find out all this information as far as what they when they do what they do is that you can be in the proper place

At the right time, but I would encourage you have a woman to do it because they're more readily You know cool with talking to women about this stuff if you're a big dude like me

They they won't tell you the truth, which is which is smart Preparation as far as materials

Of course we want literature revealing the truth to them about what abortion is because they are not being

Revealed the truth that truth is being concealed Literature there's there's great websites to go to and ministry organizations that there's living waters produced a good movie called the 180 movie

Abortion related gospel tracks of course what we want to do is also figure out life affirming

Institutions that we can point them to that support them with adoption with medical assistance

Whatever it may be you've got you're just starting out right now You might be limited into resources

But you can do the hard work of research where you can find people that can help them That's what I would encourage you to do says you're handing out literature

It's the truth about abortion the truth the gospel truth and just where they can go to give to get the help that they need

Amplification devices are important a GoPro. We would encourage you to do that not only to capture what's going on But also to protect yourself

We had a situation a couple months ago where one of our guys Elvis and the abortion doctor

Doctor actually pulled a gun on him and pointed it at him a high -caliber gun Thankfully he had that GoPro on to capture that So now we can do everything that we can do to throw the book at this abortionist and also for your own protection and safety

So you want that GoPro on? Not only for that but also we have to use media as a tool into the question that we've heard over and over is

How do we wake up the church you wake up the church by using media by using social media now initially

I said do this all for the glory of God and now I'm saying record yourself and show the world You can use these cameras in this tool of media for your own glory

But that's for you not to do we use it because it is the it is the thing by which the church is awakened men follow courage

Christian men follow Christian the courage of Christian men and women we have to use

We have to use media. I'm gonna go as quickly as I can here We use signs babies are murdered here in abortion now signs

You can you can find a lot of those in abortion now We do use graphic signs where we show the reality of abortion

We have we have signs that share the truth of God's Word It also shows a baby being torn apart and a lot of people recoil from that and say how dare you do that?

Our question is how could we not do that? Everyone is putting a blanket over the situation They're not we do not live in a nation either one of us where the reality of abortion is being properly portrayed, right?

So we have to educate and say this is abortion. The crazy thing is most people that hate these signs are pro -abortion

How could you be pro -abortion and actually hate what abortion truly is? So that's why we use it in the scriptures.

The response to sin is never to conceal It's always to reveal Ephesians 5 11 says take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead

Expose them abortion is murder and this grisly graphic image It bears testimony that it is murder if it's not seeing as murder.

We will never ever be done away with it Right, okay Principle number five the work to rescue babies requires us to constantly communicate the truth

We have to be always Preaching the gospel always It's got to be constantly communicated because the gospel is the means by which

God regenerates softened hearts and soften softens hearts Romans 1 16 says for I am

NOT ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for salvation and Ed for everyone who believes to the

Jew first and also to the Greeks So listen, if we're not proclaiming the gospel of our

Lord, Jesus Christ We are not doing anything at all Our efforts are our vain our efforts are futile and powerless and ultimately unproductive

We have to be about it one of my mentors I asked actually asked her to help me prepare and she wanted to communicate this to you from 3 ,000 miles away or so Maybe 4 ,000 says always remind them that God commands them not to murder and abortion is murder at any time at any stage

Preach the gospel numerous times and always share it with the moms

You were able to speak directly with as well Don't expect that someone else will do it for you If we don't share the gospel, then we have never really loved them and we don't love them

It's it's actually it's absolutely crucial now the enemy as you go out there He will do everything that he can to get you to stop preaching the gospel

You're gonna have people who are drunk come up to you and want to speak in the microphone and sing a song right there

You can have people that want to preach themselves or get into some weird arguments but you'll see that everything will get you to get off that or If you're not using a microphone just to simply stop preaching the gospel

You can't do that. A good tip is if you were out there doing that and you have some peripheral, you know

Attack or somebody wants to come up and stop what you're doing Just have somebody else man those questions so you can keep preaching the gospel our

Communications three vital components the law and the gospel Abortion is murder and that we have help for them three vital components the gospel

Abortion is murder, but we want to help you and there's forgiveness and grace in Jesus Christ There's financial medical material

Help. All right. I'm I'm running out of time here So I'm gonna go through this quickly just a couple important tips when it comes to the communication aspect of this

Don't revile when being reviled as you communicate Don't revival elaborate on the baby respect law enforcement and obey them as far as you can

But don't let them push you around and infringe upon your rights You will not believe how law enforcement will try to call your bluff

I can't I can't tell you how many times when I'm out there We're out there preaching the gospel and they come up with some city code that doesn't even exist

To try to just shoo you away with the power of their authority. Don't let them do that Don't let them because if you give them an inch, they're gonna take a mile

So what you always want to do is call them. Oh, let me see the ordinance. Let me see the law And they'll be like, okay

They'll get in the truck and they'll act like they're doing something here and then they'll drive away. So don't let law enforcement

Infringe upon your rights, but you also in the same you want to befriend officers and detectives.

We're so blessed to have a detective Within the Phoenix PD who is actually just a blessing, you know, he's we've met with them

We've had lunch with him But we feel like God has specifically put him there to actually deter a lot of law enforcement abuse that we would have had

So it's not making enemies out of law enforcement and respecting them but holding them to their duties

Some of the most important verses first Peter 2 23 when Jesus was reviled He did not revile and return when he returned when he suffered he did not threaten but continued entrusting himself to one who judges

Justly, maybe the most important verse when it comes to service at the abortion mill

Second Timothy 2 24 through 26 and the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome

But kind to everyone able to teach patiently enduring evil Correcting his opponents with gentleness that God may perhaps

Grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil

After being captured by him to do as well. We are all Calvinists in here I think most of us and we understand that that faith is a gift that repentance is a

Gift and God grants that to whom he elects and whom he chooses But it's amazing how it says here that God may perhaps grant them a repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth and that's coupled with our own activity of Not quarreling and being kind to them

God blesses the way that we handle Evangelism by granting it's all a part of the way that he he works out his own salvific ends lastly

Consistency is absolutely essential. That's principle number six Consistency is essential one of the great things about this ministry is you don't have to be an academic

You don't have to be a highly educated or highly intelligent You just have to be willing to obey the commands of your master and you have to do it consistently

I don't know if you know who John Barros is anybody know John Barros in Florida They the heroes one of their heroes of this fight

He's been in it forever, and he's seen thousands of babies saved, but if you would talk to him

He's just a regular guy humble guy, but God blesses his consistency He's there when they're open till they close and because of that thousands of babies have been saved one of my friends

Stephen Smith Every time he goes to the mill they see a baby saved which would be Amazing if that happened to us every time they go

God will save a baby why because they're consistent one of the most

Effective people groups on this planet and in this fight are retirees What I've noticed because Retirees tend to have the resources and the time to commit to this and actually be consistent in this

So it's amazing people say oh after 50 or 60 or after retired. That's my life's gone

I'm worthless But some of your most important days can be after you retire

And God has blessed you with that so that you can now turn around and use your resources and your time

To fight for life, and I would just say some of those two most important people on earth are retirees

We have to as a church a shit shift from this event oriented Understanding of ministry to a process oriented understanding of ministry

I want to get in this too much But what we do in our nation is the extent mainly of the evangelical church is to preach a sermon on January 22nd in Memorial for the for the babies that have been killed we kind of do that we pat ourselves on the back

We give our money to some pro -life group, and that's the extent of our involvement in here

That's an event Oriented understanding, but if you think about our own sanctification and how we grow and move as Christians It's process oriented

You know through prayer and through attending to the the teaching of God's Word through fellowship these things are

Process oriented issues that we have to continually do so that we'll grow

What's the same thing with evangelism and in this fight? It's got to be something that is committed to consistency and as we consistently do it

We will see the fruits of it How do we ensure consistency you create a calendar and that you commit to going to it's not

Thankfully God knows we're all sheep so a lot of this is not it's not too difficult to understand

It's not it's not too conceptually Difficult, and it's pretty easy.

We create a calendar. We say I'm gonna be here at this time And I'm gonna go and that's how we ensure things

Begin to happen as we put biblical principles into practice on a regular basis in our lives

As well as effort as well as our evangelistic efforts or work at the mill. God will bless our

Efforts remember practice is always built Upon right principle you may do this, and I know you're getting into this fight

You may serve for hours and hours on in the middle and of course all the negative things that happened to us

They're gonna happen to you, too You may not see a lot of babies being saved and we pray that that would be the opposite it could happen

You may not see hearts soften You're gonna see a lot of wickedness and evil that is just gonna come like a flood on you

But you got to understand just really quick really quickly regardless of what you see. We don't we don't live by sight

We live by faith and your work in your labor in this is not in vain

It's because God's Word. It's communicated through your mouth and love will never return void first Corinthians 1558 says therefore my beloved

Brothers be steadfast immovable always abounding and the work of the Lord knowing that in the

Lord your labor is not in vain Many of us who got into this fight to rescue babies and to speak out for the unborn

We all came in a certain period of time It was it was just kind of miraculous and providential how

God did this through preaching and through conferences There was actually a specific conference that I went through in 2012 where it was just a weak man preached the word and God used that that the word that he was communicating to Just awaken me it's as if I would

I was sleeping and then I became awake and I pray through our humble efforts your hearts and your

Lives and you would be awakened to this great evil and you would be involved and believe me

It doesn't matter where you are or where you've been If you're if you're in the body of Christ You need to be involved let's pray father for this reason

I Bow my knees before you From whom every family in heaven and earth is named that according to the riches of the glory that you may grant

He may grant to you to be strengthened with power through the Spirit in your inner being So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and grounded in love

May have strength to comprehend with all the Saints What is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge?

That you may be filled with all the fullness of God Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we can ask or think according to the power

At work within us to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever.
