According to the Christian News Wire – last week the US Senate DEFEATED the Nelson-Hatch amendment which would have barred funding for elective abortions.  By a vote of 54-45, the senators tabled, effectively killing this amendment.  These elected representatives did this in spite of the fact that research indicates that the citizens of this country are becoming more and more PRO-LIFE.

Heavenly Father, we pray that every elected official who has or will vote for any bill that will require tax payers to fund elective abortions will be soundly defeated the next time they run for any public office.  Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is    Luke 1:35-45

Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative {aunt} has also conceived a son {John the baptizer} in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

For with God nothing will be impossible."  {It is impossible for God TO DO NOTHING!}

Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias {high priest of temple} and greeted {his wife and First Lady} Elizabeth. And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.  Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

{The wife of the high priest who knew about the things of God says to Mary} – But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.  Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord."  And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.     Luke 1:35-45

The virgin Mary had an assignment. We are all spiritual beings here on assignment.

Mary accepted her assignment humbly. She went to the most important people in Judah to tell them of her angelic visitation, what the Angel of the Lord God had said and ask an older women, what was going on inside of her. Is it true?

What if Elizabeth had said, “You are not married! You will bring shame on your family! You cannot afford this child! You better go to the veterinarian and get an abortion!”

We should all THANK GOD ALMIGHTY that “the babe leaped in my womb for JOY”

Ladies and Gentlemen, IT does not matter how the members of congress may vote – LIFE begins at conception, Jesus Christ was born of a woman and became flesh. Our natural response is the same as Mary’s and we should Worship the Lord our God, Who WAS, and WHO IS, and Who will come again!

Amen and Amen!
