In the beginning of the year 2019, the Democratic-controlled Senate and the far-left governor at the helm of New York state colluded to amend the state constitution and pass a heinous law that allows the bloodletting of the innocent unborn until birth. This abhorrent extension of already existing abortion law was likely established because of the fear that Roe v. Wade will be overturned by the Supreme Court, which means that other left-leaning states are likely to follow suit if this is not overturned.

This is certainly a demonically inspired law that causes one to question how a major political party can fall so far away from a common-sense view regarding the sanctity of life. It must be demonically inspired, which reminds me of the evil days in Israel’s sordid history when the people fell into idol worship and sacrificed their children to the false god Moloch. See Psalm 106:37-38a-b, which says: “They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons; and poured out innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.”

Amazingly so, in this modern era, ex-Satanist Zachary King also testifies to the fact that abortions are still equated with child sacrifice to the devil (read article “Abortion as ritual Satanic child sacrifice”). Also, the people who carry out abortions so they can conveniently enjoy unprotected sex are guilty of nothing short of idolatry (read “Idolatry and Sexual Immorality, Part 1”).

The fact that a human baby’s heartbeat is detected, and a body is formed as early as the fifth week is incontrovertible due to our technological advances in ultrasound, which makes abortion an even more malevolent practice in contemporary times.

According to the Mayo Clinic, as early as the fifth week after conception, a baby’s heart and a primitive circulatory system will form in the middle layer of cells, known as the mesoderm. This layer of cells will also serve as the foundation for a baby’s bones, ligaments, kidneys and much of the reproductive system.

Just so the reader is aware how radical abortion until birth is, consider the implications: Abortions are now legal until the baby is in the birth canal; babies born alive from botched abortions are allowed to die on the table, and physicians are no longer legally obligated to save their life. Furthermore, pregnancies terminated from assaults on the mom are no longer considered homicides because the fetus isn’t considered a person.

That being said, the political leaders responsible for expanding New York abortion law have demonstrated a callous disregard for humanity—and should not be trusted to lead in any arena of life, whether it regards economics or ethics.

Moreover, if the Roman Catholic church doesn’t excommunicate Andrew Cuomo, it will demonstrate a capitulation to the culture for the sake of political gain. (Hear this, Cardinal Timothy Dolan!)

Truly the blood of millions of the innocent unborn is upon the heads of all the pro-death politicians in this nation. This should be especially sobering for all Christians who affiliate with a political party that boasts of having a national “pro-choice” platform that is really anti-life, which makes it “pro-death.”

If the voices of millions of aborted babies could speak to us from heaven, they would no doubt beg this nation to reverse abortion laws and throw out all pro-choice lawmakers and judges, since this cruel practice took away their right to make choices and live their lives. The fact that said political leaders and anti-life groups like Planned Parenthood (which turn a profit harvesting the body parts of human babies) coyly use terms like “pro-choice” as a subtle play on words meant to belie the reality that this “choice” is really infanticide!

Martin Luther King Jr. was reported as saying, “Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” Dr. King also said something that should cause all selfishly passive citizens to shudder: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” ― Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World

Not only are pastors and Christians who vote for “pro-choice” candidates complicit, but silent believers in this present time are also complicit!

I pray this nefarious law results in such indignation that enacting it becomes untenable; anything less than mass outrage will demonstrate how desensitized and enfeebled the average citizen has become.

Four former members of the LGBT community congregated together to discuss the debate of “praying the gay away” in an episode of Transformed Life Radio.

“I think you pray throughout your journey,” says Luis Javier Ruiz. Ruiz was injured in the Pulse nightclub massacre in June 2016. He has since completely surrendered to the Lord and travels around the world preaching the truth about homosexuality.

“For some people, we don’t doubt there could be a miracle from God, but at the same time, that wasn’t my story,” Ruiz says.

Watch the video as he, Angel Colon, Edward Byrd and Ronald McCray weigh in on the divisive question.

Mike Bickle says he’s made for prayer. What would it take for you to say the same thing?

Bickle explains his story to Dr. Steve Greene in the latest episode of the “Greenelines” podcast:

“In my early days, in college, this was like 40-plus years ago, I was really committed to be a man of God. I was 18, 19 years old, and my leaders told me that I had to grow in prayer,” Bickle says.

“I didn’t really like that at the time. I said, ‘I shall do anything but prayer. Please, not this.’ So, I read books by guys like Leonard Ravenhill and Joy Dawson and Andrew Murray, these books about prayer. I just said, ‘I’m going to be a man of prayer.’

“I’m just really being straightforward, I hated it. I would pray an hour a day, and it would be the most miserable hour. I remember saying, ‘Lord, if I’ve got to do this to be a man of God, I’m never going to make it.’

“If an angel would have appeared to me that 40-plus years ago and said, ‘Yeah, young man of God, one day you’ll have a 24-hour-a-day prayer ministry,’ I would have just collapsed in despair.”

So how did he found one of the largest prayer movements in the world? Listen to the podcast to see!

Conservatives are up in arms over Gillette’s new ad campaign, and I’m having a lot of trouble understanding why.

The new commercial—”The Best Men Can Be”—debuted earlier this week and has received both praise and intense backlash from just about every corner of the internet.

Those criticizing it seemed to have heard only the phrase “toxic masculinity,” which is mentioned briefly within the first few seconds of the video and never revisited. The lion’s share of the commercial celebrates healthy masculinity and moral manhood.

Roe v. Wade, shot largely in secret to avoid backlash from the abortionist movement, dropped its first trailer this week.

The movie encountered significant difficulties through the filming process, including cast and crew walking off set during production.

Director Nick Loeb claims Facebook even prohibited the production company from sharing information about the film.

“I couldn’t send out a crowdfunding site to my friends or family. People who liked the site couldn’t share it,” Loeb says.

Loeb stars in the film as well, along with Jon Voight, Stacey Dash, Jamie Kennedy and Joey Lawrence.

“I was introduced to the gang lifestyle when I was 7 years old. And by the time I was 8, I shot my first pistol, and I was introduced to the life of crime in a life that I never thought in a million years I was going to be introduced to,” says Mondo De La Vega. De La Vega is executive vice president of television production and co-host on The Jim Bakker Show.

“As I started growing up, I got more and more involved in the operation of the gang on how to grow gangs, and be able to really participate on influencing our community by recruiting young kids and young girls to become part of this army that needed a father figure, needed a mother figure,” De La Vega says.

“And I understood that the gang provided a family atmosphere. And you know what, that made an impact my life, but it made an impact in my life to the point where I feel like I wasn’t worth living anymore. I felt like I wasn’t good enough to be any anything else other than just a gangster. And I earned top rank in my gang to the point where I became one of the shot callers at one point,” De La Vega says.

“That got me in trouble with the law; that got me in trouble with my enemies around the LA area. But it also created an empty hole in my heart, wondering if this is it; there’s got to be more than just gangs. There’s got to be more than just money. There’s got to be more than power. There’s got to be more than drugs.

“And a girl walked into my life, which is my sister, she walked into my life. And she told me three of the most powerful things that changed me till this day. She said, ‘What if God is real? What if prayer works? What if you have a different destiny?'”

Forty days of prayer and peaceful vigil. Shawn Carney, president of 40 Days for Life, wages spiritual war on the front lines of the abortion battle field.

When he prays, doctors come out of clinics to repent. Mothers turn around. Carney says an internal Planned Parenthood statistic says the no-show rate for appointments can spike as high as 75 percent when his team intercedes.

In this special episode of the Charisma News podcast, brought to you by Quartermaster Stewardship, Carney tells listeners how he began 40 Days for Life.

He also discusses why believers need to get out of their homes to pray, dealing with rabid abortion supporters and how his ministry has seen 15,000 women choose life at the very last moment.

A Mississippi pastor was gunned down while he was opening his church for Sunday morning services over the weekend.

Police arrested three suspects in the murder of Anthony Finch Longino, who pastored New Bethany Church in Jackson, Mississippi.

Longino was found dead outside his church.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of those who died due to senseless acts of violence today and our continued prayers and support go out to all of the families who have suffered at the hands of senseless violence in this city,” Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba says, according to a local news personality.

International leaders have high praise for Pastor Mark Biltz’s soon-to-be-released book, Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times: What the Bible Says and What the Future Holds, which takes an in-depth look at some of the deepest questions surrounding the Antichrist.

“I hope my newest book will be an exciting adventure exploring the Islamic and the Jewish view of their end times perspectives along with the Christian view of the Antichrist,” Biltz says. “When we couple this with current events, there are especially eye-opening insights in light of artificial intelligence technology, global surveillance and the social credit score now being implemented in China.”

Bodie and Brock Thoene are popular writers of 70 works of historical fiction, with more than 35 million of the best-selling novels in print in 30 languages. They call Biltz’s Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times, “Amazing. Powerful. Anointed.”

“In a world constantly looking for the next ‘new’ thing, Pastor Mark Biltz shows us the prophetic future in the scriptural past,” said the Thoenes. “The depth of his biblical research and understanding is astonishing and mind blowing! Your heart will be READY for whatever comes! You will be forever changed!”

Perry Stone of the Voice of Evangelism Outreach Ministries, Omega Center International and the International School of the Word says Biltz’s book is an interesting read filled with important information and compelling insights.

“Pastor Mark Biltz has written a unique and compelling take on the Antichrist, bringing an analysis from various views to paint a picture of what the end times will look like through the lens of Scripture as well as contemporary events,” Stone said.

Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times, adds New York Times’ best-selling author and filmmaker Joel Richardson, puts many of the previously missed pieces of the end-time puzzle together.

“Biltz cuts through the fog of tradition and calcified false ideas, getting right to the heart of the biblical matter,” Richardson said. “This book reveals some critical and previously unknown keys that unlock the truth concerning the last days and the return of Yeshua. This is an exciting contribution to the study of eschatology that will greatly benefit all who long for His appearing.”

Biltz says Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times will help readers profile the Antichrist rather than guess his identity, see that history is always repeating itself and acknowledge that we have now entered the brave new world.

“The faithful must understand biblical patterns to navigate both the historical currents as well as the rapids we are quickly approaching,” he added.

Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times also asks deep questions such as the following:

• What does the Bible say about the Antichrist, his tactics and his motivation?
• Will he be a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian—or something else?
• Will the Antichrist work through modern technology to take over?

Mark Biltz is founder of El Shaddai Ministries and a well-known and popular commentator on the feasts of the Lord. In fact, he has produced a series of DVDs on the feasts that have gone around the world. Biltz is also the author of Blood Moons and God’s Day Timer. His research and theories have led to guest appearances on both radio and television as well as being featured on the covers of magazines.

Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times, set for release March 5, is published by Charisma House, which publishes books that challenge, encourage, teach and equip Christians, including 14 New York Times’ best-sellers.
