The Grace To Be Made Whole 2015 | Page 26

I remember when God called me to my first rally. I didn’t know what to expect. The only thing I knew was that God was calling me to do something that I had never done before. He was calling me to rally with others who believe that abortion is wrong. After a series of dreams about babies being snatched out of their mother’s womb, the Catholic Church, slavery and blood scarifies, I knew Jesus was trying to get me to pay attention to what was going on around me. Jesus was calling me to pray, but He was also calling me to getup and to do something. I didn't know much about abortion procedures or the abortion laws. I thought to myself, “I’m not into politics”. “What could I possibly say”? Then the Holy Spirit reminded me of the time I had received ungodly counsel to murder my unborn babies by having an abortion. I though to myself maybe I could just tell my story and share the love of Jesus to whoever would listen. I can’t imagine the pain and guilt I would have experienced if I had accepted that advice. “I chose life for my babies”, and that’s what I say to others. “Choose Life”. 1. Seek advice from God in prayer. 2. Wait for an answer. 3.“What do you know about this issue”? 4.“How can my presence make a difference”? 5.“Am I ready to tell others about my faith”? 6.“What organization or ministry is inviting you to the rally”? 7. Ask yourself, “Am I ready to be embarrassed by the media”? 8.“Are you ready to be lied on”? 9. Ask yourself, “Are you ready to commit your time and money if need be”? 10.“Is this something my children should see or participate in”? 11.“Am I prepared to be known as the lady or man at the rally”? Remember, not everybody will understand or like you views. 12. Ask yourself, “Am I ready to be surrounded by other religions and denominations”? 13. “Am I prepared for violence and possibly jail time”? Most rallies are peaceful but sometime things happen.
