God Is Not Mocked*

 
This past week, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and the New York State Legislature passed a new sweeping abortion bill expanding the availability and term allowed for abortions in New York State. This has surely opened God's floodgate of judgment. The provisions of the new law allow midwives, as well as doctors, to perform abortion procedures, and those procedures may take place up to the moment of birth, and even beyond the birth.Though it was applauded and cheered by those present as a great victory, it is an egregious evil against the Word and Spirit of God, and therefore carries a grave warning, and exhortation:
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."   Gal. 6:7-9
Abortion and child murder has not just been around for decades in America, but for thousands of years.Satan has used the murder of children many times in an effort to prevent the birth of vitally important people in the purpose of God, and in order to destroy a people.
As Moses, the deliverer of Israel from slavery, was about to be born, Pharaoh ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill all male children of the Hebrew women that were coming to birth:
"But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive...Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses."   Ex. 1:17-21
The midwives resisted the evil command, most certainly at the risk of their lives, but the LORD blessed them. Pharaoh persisted in his desire to kill the Hebrew children, and commanded that all Hebrew male children born should be cast into the river. When Moses was born, his mother indeed placed him in the river, but placed the child in a protective ark sealed against the waters of death. Moses was miraculously found and spared by Pharaoh's own daughter, and raised in his own household! Pharaoh's daughter even unknowingly called upon Moses' mother to nurse the child she had found.
As Jesus was born, Herod the king, feeling threatened by the birth of the prophesied Messiah, or King, ordered all of the children of Bethlehem and the nearby areas that were two years old and under to be killed. Joseph ("Jehovah has added") was warned in a dream by the angel of God to take his wife and new child and flee to Egypt to escape Herod's murderous plan (Mt. 2:13).
Who has Satan been trying to prevent from appearing in his efforts to abort and kill millions of children in our time by causing humans to destroy their own seed? A single life can impact many. God's word is emphatic in its condemnation in the strongest terms of this practice:
"These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among the brethren."  Prov. 6:16-19
There exists no more innocent blood than the blood of an unborn child, and no imagination of greater wickedness than the heart that seeks the destruction of that child, regardless of the celebrations and applause of men.
Margaret Sanger, founder of the organization that promoted eugenics (controlled, selective breeding of the human population, often by excluding certain genetic groups considered to be "less desirable") in America, which became "Planned Parenthood", was conceived in racism. Her quotes leave no doubt of the racist foundation of her beliefs. Early efforts at this population control was targeted at African-American communities, often seeking to recruit community leaders and even ministers, in its efforts to achieve this racist agenda. Adolf Hitler was also a notorious proponent of eugenics, as we know from history. The people of God are not meant to join hands with this agenda, but to pray in repentance:
"Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished.: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered."  Prov. 11:21
Because judgment has not fallen (at least not as it would be expected), many think there will be no judgment at all, and they become encouraged in their ungodly plans:
"Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."   Eccle. 8:11
Many mockingly say they will not believe in the judgment of the LORD until they see it (Isa. 5:19).Though judgment delays, it is nonetheless relentless. We see today the pervasive belief that if man denies the truth of the evil nature of his desires and plans, as in the case of child murder, that it is no longer evil, but good. There are those who make heroes of practitioners of evil, and make villains of those who cry out against that evil. There are those who make money, or receive gain from the practice of evil, or are supporters for gain of those who do. God has foreseen this and has prophesied against it:
"Woe (passionate cry of grief and despair) unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!...Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him....therefore...their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel."   Isa. 5:20-24
The people of God are called to know and speak the truth of God's Word. Like Lot ("covering"), our hearts should be vexed and troubled in sorrow by this great tragedy. We can bring our grieving hearts to the Lord, repent and seek His forgiveness and healing for ourselves and our land (2 Chron. 7:14-15).
