Justice Loves Babies reaches barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com!!!


We recently found out that “Justice Loves Babies” has been listed on the Barnes and Nobles website as well as on Amazon. The funny thing…. We have no idea how it happened. We never sent anything to Barnes and Noble and we don’t know anyone who did. It must just be Jesus; it is his book after all. :)


It was a few months ago when we submitted the book to Focus on the Family for their bookstore evaluation process and began to pray. The Lord gave us favor and they now carry it. Once again the Lord has blessed us with supernaturally placing the book on Barnes and Noble’s website. You can also now go into a Barnes and Noble store and request the book and they will order it for you! Jesus is great and continues to wow us with his wonders. Praise the Lord.

Everyone go to Barnes and Noble and buy a copy and hopefully soon the Lord will help us to get it carried in every bookstore across the nation.

The Spirit of Prostitution


The Lord really spoke to me tonight about the issue of prostitution and broke my heart for the women involved. There are two groups when it comes to the issue of prostitution: the first is those who are in it voluntarily or due to financial/poverty reasons and the second are those who are forced to be in it or as slaves. The first group does it either because they think they can’t do anything better in society, like it (which is not many), financially desperate, or depressed. The second group is forced into prostitution by the sex slavery business primarily through sex trafficking and slavery. This is just a broad look of how deep it really goes. The sex trafficking business and prostitution are two in the one, not to mention the pornography business that drives it on.

I have been praying for the Lord to reveal to me his view of the prostitution industry. It is obviously an act of Immorality and Idolatry in God’s eyes; however I wanted to see the heart of the issue. I just asked the Lord to break my heart in the area that it breaks his heart and let me see how he sees it. I really felt the Lord speak to me through Hosea.


Hosea 4:10-14


10 "They will eat but not have enough;
they will engage in prostitution but not increase,
because they have deserted the LORD
to give themselves 11 to prostitution,
to old wine and new,
which take away the understanding 12 of my people.
They consult a wooden idol
and are answered by a stick of wood.
A spirit of prostitution leads them astray;
they are unfaithful to their God.

13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops
and burn offerings on the hills,
under oak, poplar and terebinth,
where the shade is pleasant.
Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution
and your daughters-in-law to adultery.

14 "I will not punish your daughters
when they turn to prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
because the men themselves consort with harlots
and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes—
a people without understanding will come to ruin!


The first thing the Lord revealed to me was in verse 12, that prostitution is a spirit. That immediately took me by surprise because I have never heard of a spirit of prostitution. I hear the spirit of Jezebel a lot and I believe they are very much both evil spirits but the fact that it is distinctively stated “spirit of prostitution” caught me off guard. Anyways the spirit of prostitution is evil and profanes His holy name. We must war against it!


Secondly, in Hosea he is speaking about how much he dislikes prostitution and that the people of the land deserted Him and gave themselves to prostitution. The part that really captured my eye though was verse 14. The Lord states that when the women turn to prostitution and commit adultery he will not punish them because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes and then that “a people without understanding will come to ruin!” I don’t think that it necessarily means this, but this is what God pressed on my heart. That the men in this world need to rise up and separate themselves from godlessness and immorality (obviously this is the majority of the problem), but in order for this to take place the last part must be fulfilled. The knowledge of God must be revealed to them, the Lord states earlier in Hosea 4:6 that “There is no truth or mercy, Or knowledge of God in the land.”

The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,

“‘though seeing, they may not see;
though hearing, they may not understand. (Luke 8:10)



The knowledge of God has been revealed to us and we need that knowledge to reach those involved in the prostitution industry. Jesus is the way to that knowledge, whom the son sets free, is free indeed. We can’t set anyone free out of our own righteousness it is always Jesus working through us. Your prayers and the love of God that flows from you move angels and demons and changes things on the Earth. All authority was given to Jesus (matt 28) and he commissioned us to walk in that authority, therefore let us walk out Micah 6:8.

PRO-LIFE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION


Why we must vote and pray in a Pro-Life President..... This is one of the most crucial Elections ever. We have taken a lot of ground during the Bush Administration and need to keep gaining ground. Vote Pro-Life!


1) Appointed Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. The appointments resulted in the upholding of the federal partial-birth abortion ban by a 5-4 decision.

2) Reinstituted the Mexico City Policy, begun by the Reagan Administration and reversed by the Clinton Administration (when Congress tried to reinstitute the policy, Clinton vetoed the bill), that bars foreign aid funding to groups that perform or advocate for abortions. In 2003, the Bush Administration expanded the Mexico City Policy to include not just funds dispensed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), but also the State Department.

3) Discouraged advancement of pro-abortion legislation by announcing early in his administration that he would veto legislation that threatened pro-life policy.

4) Signed the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which made it a federal crime not to treat babies who survive abortion.

5) Signed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban of 2003.

6) Signed Unborn Victims of Violence Act, recognizing the unborn child as a separate crime victim if injured or killed during an assault.

7) Cut off all federal funds to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for its involvement in China’s one-child policy which includes forced abortion and sterilization. President Bush sent a fact-finding mission to China which found that the nation’s one-child policy was indeed coercive in nature and that the UNFPA was an integral part of implementing that policy, placing the UNFPA in clear violation of the Kemp-Kasten Amendment that prohibits any aid to any program that involves forced abortion or forced sterilization. Tens of millions of dollars that otherwise would have gone to the UNFPA were redirected to maternal and child health programs.

8) Thwarted efforts at the United Nations to promote abortion by instructing U.S. delegates to state at every appropriate opportunity that America does not regard anything in any document before the U.N. to establish any international right to abortion.

9) Issued Executive Order banning the use of new lines of embryonic stem cells in federally funded experiments. Later vetoed legislation passed by Congress to permit federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.

10) Signed the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, which will fund research using umbilical cord and adult stem cells. The measure provides funding to increase the inventory of cord blood units available to match and treat patients and to link cord blood banks so that doctors have a single source to search for cord blood and bone marrow matches. It also reauthorizes the National Bone Marrow Registry.

11) Launched public awareness of adoption campaign, working with the National Council for Adoption and pregnancy help centers across the country. The campaign sponsored conferences encouraging faith based communities to promote adoption and produced public service announcements featuring the First Lady urging the adoption of foster children.

12) Established the first federal government and national website listing and showing children available for adoption across the country (www.AdoptUSKids.org).

13) Increased the tax credit for adoption related expenses from $5,000 to $10,000; for special needs children, the credit was raised from $5,000 for qualified adoption related expenses to $10,000 for any adoption related expenses. This was done as part of the President’s tax relief bill.

14) Annually declared Sanctity of Human Life Day.

15) Issued a federal regulation allowing states to include unborn children in the federal/state S-CHIP program, which provides health insurance for children in poor families. This allowed states to include pre-natal care in the health insurance they offer to poor children under the program.

16) The Bush Administration did what it could to stop assisted suicide from taking further hold in Oregon. The state of Oregon passed an assisted suicide law that allows doctors to prescribe federally controlled drugs in lethal amounts to certain of their patients who say they want to die. Federal law holds that federally controlled drugs may only be prescribed for legitimate medical purposes. During the Clinton Administration, Attorney General Janet Reno decreed that assisted suicide was a legitimate medical purpose in those states that permit it.
During the Bush Administration, Attorney General John Ashcroft changed that ruling, saying that assisted suicide was not a legitimate medical purpose, thereby barring doctors from prescribing lethal drugs. A lawsuit was filed and ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of allowing the drugs to be used for assisted suicide.

17) Signed legislation making it possible for a federal court to hear whether Terri Schiavo’s constitutional rights had been violated by being denied hydration and nutrition.

18) Dramatically increased funding for abstinence education through the Department of Health and Human Services, although Congress did not approve the full amount the Bush Administration requested.

"A Letter From Your Child"

One of my friends wrote this and it really caught my eye... Just wanted to share it.

A letter from your child,

Mommy, you are so beautiful to me. I know I never have seen you face to face but I can feel you, I know you are close. Can you feel me? I know life might be hard, I know my arrival might have been unexpected, but I still love you and I still want to be your daughter. I know I may have been conceived out of wedlock, I know I may be born into hard circumstances, I know daddy may not be around, I know you don’t feel strong sometimes, I know sometimes you don’t know what to do. Mommy knowing all this I still want you, I still want to live. Mommy you are beautiful- I love you. Mommy I know you can not hear me in your ears but mommy listen, listen quietly and you will feel me in your heart. I am here and I want to live I want to pass through the womb and there as a babe I shall cry aloud and in my cry I declare to you my love, my thank you. As I grow I will dance, I will play and with whether with you or without you I will always be thankful that you chose me and let me live. Mommy, please have pity on me I know I might be small right now but one day I will grow. I will hit a home run, I will paint a famous painting, I will go to college, I will be married, I will play the piano, I will sing, I will help those around me, I will develop cures, I will be a mother- and mommy most excitingly I will get to join your story.

I love you Mommy,
Your excited child
