Murder of Late Term Abortionist George Tiller
I had heard than an abortionist had been murdered. I do not keep up with too much news these days so I did not bother to find out any details about the story. Yesterday I happened to read an article on the Charisma web site that stated that the abortionist was the infamous late-term abortionist George Tiller from Kansas.
The first time I heard about this man was years ago listening to a talk radio program. He had been interviewed by Nightline. I heard audio of segments of the interview. If I remember correctly I actually was able to view the video of that interview where he stated that he had performed 10,000 abortions. If the enemy had the heart and mind of anyone he had the heart of this man. It was one of the most dreadful, sad interviews I had ever seen in my life. He was one of the saddest people when it came to human decency. From time to time since this I would pray that somehow this man could be reached. To say he was demonized is an understatement. You can take one look at his pictures to know that he was being influenced by demons.
At the time I thought that he probably was not a part of any religious setting. To my horror I read this morning that he was murdered while ushering at a Reformed Lutheran Church. For those that follow the news I'm sure this detail has been reported everywhere. To me this brought up a new angle in my mind. I do not know anything about the Reformed Lutherans and what they stand for. My first question was 'How can anyone be a part of a Christian church with no conviction and butcher babies that could live outside the womb?' You may remember a similar situation occurred a few years ago when the BTK killer started murdering again. He was on a church staff while murdering people on the side. How is this possible? What can cause this to occur and what can be done? I'm sure that some Christians will begin to question the spiritual condition of that church like I do at the moment.
There is also the issue of God's judgment. Some Christians will say he reaped what he sowed. This point is interesting to me because there has been an attorney general (I believe) that has been trying to convict Tiller the past few years. The courts determined that he had not broken any laws. Even if he had he probably made enough money to buy people off. I tend to lean on mercy rather than judgment. I do not know if the man ever accepted Christ but it appears that the very long rope that the Lord gave him just broke.
I would love to hear feedback on both issues.

May more Christians seek the Lord and allow Him to expose wrong doctrines AND to touch us in way where we want to affect change, especially in the spirit realm.

This morning I read an article about the suspected killer. Not only does he have anti-abortion views, he also has anti-government views as well. ONe of the man's relatives said he had mental problems as well. Charles was right about him being in darkness.
The best way to fight darkness is with light. Abortion not only needs to be exposed for what it is, the hate spewed forth by some abortion opponents needs to be exposed as well.
The most important thing we need to realize right now is that the enemy will use this event to justify hate towards us by abortion proponents, and we need to respond to that hate with God's love. The enemy would love nothing more than to draw us into hate.

When I saw this article in the news I felt for the man attending that church. Because I suspected he would never be confronted with the truth of God’s position, and may have chosen that church for himself (darkness loving the veil of darkness).
However, consider this as well. How much darkness is the person who shot and killed him walking in?! The man who murdered the doctor is also deceived, filled with anger, bitterness and resentment. Regrettably this man’s actions cause a bad light to be placed on all those who support the position of pro-life. But that too is prophesied of scripture (Lk.6:22).
Now the following may sound bad, but I speak not necessarily to doctors performing abortions. But I speak mainly to churches and preachers who teach false doctrine therefore leading the innocent astray. And these innocent people are lead astray through the deception that the false preachers can’t help but espouse – being that their hearts are full of deception in the first place!
>>
Because …when they glorified God (who is truth) not as God…but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened…God gave them over to a reprobate mind…
…for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light (see Ez.28:17). Therefore it is no great thing (surprise) if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
…tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive…
For there are certain men crept in unawares…ungodly men…have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward… who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies…chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government (i.e. authority)…speak evil of the things that they understand not…and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices…while they promise liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
There are churches where a person can be involved. And while attending there, these people are indoctrinated into the deception these organizations espouse. And unfortunately, their lives are never changed; they are destroyed for a lack of knowledge (love of the truth).
Pam, you asked what can we do? Eph.5:11 …and we’re on that path.

I do not believe that change in either laws or governments will stop abortions. People make a deliberate individual choice to carry or be subjected to abortion: if laws do not permit it they will do it illegally. On the other hand, if people accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and are regenerated, their New Nature will tell them that abortion is wrong without a change of law or governments.
During the Welsh Revival the bars had to close because lack of business and jails were also closed because all citizen became law abiding.
It is up to us, knowing the truth, to inform, assist, help people to be transformed with their New Nature, a New Nature that will guide them in all aspects of their life and in making the right choice. Then, abortionists of all kind will have no more business and will eventually cease to practice.

TRANSFORMATION KEYS to do the Plan of God in your life
Most of us have learned how to survive against the devil and the flesh to the degree that we have made up our minds that we are going to stay saved and serve God no matter what comes our way. The problem is that, even though we determine to stay saved, at times we still allow the devil to put a ceiling on what we will or will not DO FOR God. Or, for that matter, a ceiling on what we will or will not RECEIVE FROM God.
