Abortion numbers were down this past week due to the holiday. If you noticed, we celebrated the four lives spared but they all happened on Saturday, the most dismal, wet, and cold weather yet in front of these gates of hell. And yet lives were being saved with a great turnout of proclaimers. Those that stood for the least of these were the true history makers of our day. Warriors! They weren’t complaining of the cold, or their rain-soaked clothes, or their waterlogged shoes as they walked back and forth on the sidewalks surrounding this sacrificial altar calling out to the families going in to kill their children. They were encouraging one another in the battle on these front lines. They were praying and interceding for these babies and their mothers. They were praising God and enlightening the wicked and the lost. They were the salt and light to a dying city, full of death and evil.

        Numbers do make a difference outside abortion mills. God is revealing the evil and arrogance in this blood-soaked hospital across the street from this abortion mill. Another woman patient was sexually assaulted inside Gateway Regional Hospital which houses two abortionists, Yogendra Shah and felon Alan Palmer, and it continues to cover up the botched abortions at their hands.         Recently a nurse was fired for being a whistle-blower. She went through proper channels to expose a drug addicted surgeon who was on staff. Hospital CEO, Mark Benz did not fire the physician, he fired the nurse. How many "medical complications" from the Hope Clinic for Women must be wheeled across the street and covered-up inside this hospital before red-flags go up? Why would a woman’s health and safety be jeopardized in both instances by this administration? Because it pays! The abortionist and the drug-addicted physician bring in more revenue than the whistle blowers. This hospital continues to lower its standards because its god is money. Unfortunately, this can be said of the churches and the community as a whole in Granite City, IL- "if at first we can’t succeed, lower our standards."

        Oppression and child-killing will continue as long as we tolerate bloodshed. Bloodshed in the womb and in the streets. How can we point a finger at the mother in Texas for cutting the arms off her lil girl and killing her, when this is happening everyday across America, and five to six days a week in Granite City, IL? This mother just waited longer than most and tried to save thousands of dollars. The public has no right to be any more repulsed, shocked, or angry about that poor mother in Texas unless they are equally repulsed, shocked, or angry about all the babies in abortion clinics across America. Both babies cried, both babies died. What is the difference? How can we condemn Scott Peterson for the death of his unborn son when every mother walking into Hope Clinic carries out the same act upon her unborn child behind these purple doors, and four hours later, she walks out with her paper sack and drives away?

        When are we going to realize the double-standards and hypocrisy? America will continue to deteriorate unless we demand a respect for all life, beginning by restoring person hood to the unborn and enforcing equal protection under the Constitution, the first being, LIFE the first inalienable right, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Without the first, how can we enjoy the other two? Abortion will end in America and Granite City, IL the day the Church realizes we have the power to stop it and it’s just that simple! If abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia continue much longer, America will not only be completely destroyed morally, but also physically, spiritually, militarily, and financially. It’s already happening. Look at America’s debt. We are over spent in real estate and credit cards, to name a few. This is a spiritual battle; the only way we can win is when the Church and its people stand together as one spiritual army and fight against one foe, that being the Spirit of Jezebel and its executioner that being the power of abortion. It’s that simple. The Church must come out of its four walls and flock to the abortion mills in large numbers; just show up for the battle. And praise God and worship Him. That’s it! The End of Abortion!

Endurance means to "persevere and stand one’s ground against opposition."

Endurance is the determination to stay with a problem until it is solved.

We are all tempted to give up. But we must endure hardship as a soldier for Christ.
