Deuteronomy 32:16-17
[16] They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they provoked him to anger. [17] They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to gods they had never known, to new gods that had come recently, whom your fathers had never dreaded.
Jeremiah 19:3-5
[3] You shall say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such disaster upon this place that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. [4] Because the people have forsaken me and have profaned this place by making offerings in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; and because they have filled this place with the blood of innocents, [5] and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind—’
I heard some disturbing statistics the other day. It said that approximately 28% (nearly one third) of Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012) have already died. How? Abortion. An estimated 26 million babies were murdered in their own mother’s womb in just one generation. This has been the generation that experienced the highest loss due to abortion among all generations in the US. This rate exceeds that of earlier and later generations, including Millennials and Generation Alpha.
Approximately 18% to 20% of Generation Alpha (2012 to 2024) have been lost to abortion in the United States, according to analyses using Guttmacher Institute and live birth data. This equates to an estimated 14.4 million abortions out of roughly 71.75 million total conceptions in that period, meaning nearly one in five Gen Alpha babies were aborted.
There is a spiritual war over our children. Over their lives. Their souls. Them. From the days of old, the demons posing as gods in the land of Canaan demanded child sacrifice in return of favor from them. Today, is no different. See, spirits never die. They simply change the way they work. They adapt to their surroundings. No more do we throw our children our babies into the fire of an altar to a demon, now we disassemble them in the womb before they even take their first breath.
We sacrifice our babies for our jobs, vanity, or simply because we don’t want our lives to change. We don’t want to take or accept the responsibility of our own actions or decisions.
Thankfully, abortion is no longer at the federal level, but has been brought back to the state level. Back into the hands of the people. And heartbeat bills have been passed. Much innocent blood has been spilled on our land. It’s time we stop the shedding of innocent blood and remove all the altars from our land.
Dear LORD, forgive us for allowing such abominations and atrocities in our country. Please forgive us for not praying, fasting, and tearing down the spiritual altars and strongholds we allowed to be set up. Forgive us for being docile, passive, and apathetic to the slaughter of our children. Forgive us for the innocent blood shed on Your land. For the earth is Yours and the fullness thereof. Forgive us LORD for the genocide we have committed. Forgive us. Heal our land. Touch our generations. Let not our sins be held against us. Let not the past dictate our future. Forgive us. Move in our culture. Shift the atmosphere that we might be on fire for You. That our hearts would melt and be made of flesh instead of stone. Forgive us, oh LORD. Forgive us. Let Your precious presence fill the United States of America and heal our land. Heal our people. Heal our country. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
