Author's Note: Every day on the YWAP Fast Jan. 6-26, 2020 we’ll write about our experience as we respond to what God plants on our hearts during our extended time with Him.. Eventually the story will be chronicled into a book. “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.” Matthew 6:33 AMP
ARE YOU ON A MISSION FROM GOD?
My wife and I were out walking today and as usual had an interesting conversation. That's one of the things I love about my wife, she's interesting and intelligent. Today we were talking about being offended. No, neither one of us had offended the other, but we were talking about how the Bible says to not take offense.“A wise person is patient. He will be honored if he ignores a wrong done against him.” Proverbs 19:11 (ICB) I told my wife that I fight hard against being offended, but some things hit my hot button. One of them is when folks refuse to help all children find their God-given purpose in life.
God knew all of us before we were formed in the womb. (Jeremiah 1:5) It only stands to reason, that if God knew us, He had a plan for us after we exited our mother's womb.Your purpose in life is to find the missions that God has already preplanned for your life journey. All throughout the history of mankind, there's been a battle against children on both sides of the womb. People think abortion is okay because somehow they believe that a pregnant woman isn't carrying a baby. They give the baby all kinds of names, but deny its humanity. The flesh of a human is the flesh of a human at any stage of life.
Youth With A Purpose was named after our belief that all children are gifted with purpose on both sides of the womb. One of our primary responsibilities is helping youth use their gifts to become the world changers that God meant them to be. Back in the days when Moses was born, they would throw baby boys into the Nile River as a means of slowing the population growth. Today abortion seems to have slowed down and that's a good thing, but there still are too many children dying.
There's a purpose to your life designed by God. If you have a purpose then so does every child in the womb and they deserve a chance to follow their life mission. I believe with all of my heart that one of my missions from God is to be a voice for the unborn. They're innocent, defenseless and voiceless. We are all called to love God with our whole heart, mind and strength. We're also called to love our neighbor as ourselves. When Jesus taught us to pray, he included the words, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Jesus also said, "Let the little children come to me." Can you imagine God allowing abortion in heaven? If it wouldn't be in God's will to let it happen in heaven, it wouldn't be in his will to let it happen on earth.
What is your mission from God? At the very least, we're all called to show compassion to those in need; widows, orphans, the fatherless, the sick and dying, those in prison and those who can't speak up for themselves. Children on both sides of the womb are targets of the devil. It's time for a greater awakening of love for children. They are 100& of the future. Help them go on a mission from God.
DAY NINETEEN WORD
Psalm 139:13-16 (ICB)
“You made my whole being.
You formed me in my mother’s body.
I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way.
What you have done is wonderful.
I know this very well.
You saw my bones being formed
as I took shape in my mother’s body.
When I was put together there,
you saw my body as it was formed.
All the days planned for me
were written in your book
before I was one day old.”
Isaiah 49:1 (ICB)
“All of you people in faraway places, listen to me.
Listen, all you nations far away.
Before I was born, the Lord called me to serve him.
The Lord named me while I was still in my mother’s body.”
DAY NINETEEN PRAYER
Thank you God. I praise you for the day my mother gave birth to me. I praise you for writing my name in your planning book. You've made all of us with enormous potential. God you know I have a heart for unborn children, show me how to do more for them.Amen.
DAY NINETEEN DEEP THOUGHTS
We have to be willing to take a stand for what we believe in and what God believes in. He hates the hands that shed innocent blood. We will be attacked, but it's worth it to lay our lives down on behalf of children who've been planned by God. I take offense at folks who staunchly support abortion, but I must say what Jesus said on the cross, "Father forgive them, they don't know what they're doing."
