My Abortion Experience... Forgiven and Set Free

[Sally Williams]

Over eight years ago I experienced an abortion. I grew up in a Christian home. I was president of the youth department at my church and was highly respected by my pastor and the elders of my church. However while still in the church, while still on my post I was involved in a sexual relationship with my boyfriend. I became pregnant and boyfriend and I decided that abortion was the answer. Five years later, God asked me to face the sin of my abortion. I knew abortion was wrong, I didn’t know enough about life to say no to abortion.
Hosea 4:6 says, my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge

o I did not know that at 21 days after conception a heart is beating, and at 7 weeks a baby is fully developed.

o I did not know that before God formed my child in my womb he had a purpose and a plan for my child.

o I did not know that my mother would one day ask me “how old would the child (her grandchild) be?”
 It wasn’t just my baby, others were affected by my abortion.
 It was my Mom & Dad’s granddaughter, my sisters & brother’s niece, my niece and nephew’s cousin, somebody’s friend, somebody’s wife, God’s vessel.

o I did not know that abortion clinics were strategically placed in minority communities to wipe out the black population.

o I did not know that the secrecy of my abortion would keep me in bondage from doing God’s will.
Biblical perspective: Eve (meaning living) The first woman leader: Highlights the danger we put others in as being a leader who makes a bad choice.
 We as leaders must acknowledge the bad choices we have made, face the truth, receive God’s forgiveness, seek healing and allow God to heal and restore us.
 Why? Because other lives are depending on us. …therefore choose life; that both thou and thy seed may live. Deuteronomy 30: 19
 We can’t give what we don’t have.
 We must daily examine ourselves. Psalm 139-24
1 Corinthians 11:27-2927 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood[a] of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner[b] eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s[c] body.
 Before I take of this cup, Lord am I in the right position to give to your body,
 Lord I want to walk worthy of the call, order my steps
Eve reminds us to Examine ourselves that we may “live” the Victorious life for an Eternity

o I did not know that regret, depression, guilt, suicidal thoughts, relationship problems, anxiety, anniversary grief, etc. would follow me after my abortion.
 Each person’s abortion experience is unique, significant and valid
 I thought that after I went to that abortion clinic that all the problems from my unplanned pregnancy would go away, in reality they had just begun.
 Nobody told me that my little girl would have a name

o I did not know that my boyfriend and I would one day have to repent and need healing for the loss of our child.

God has forgiven me and set me free from the guilt and shame of my abortion. I knew I was forgiven I didn't know that I needed to be set free. Now I understand how God values life. It is now my responsibility to tell every man, woman, boy or girl to choose life.

My dear sister in Christ, your testimony is such a moving testimony. I am so much encouraged by your frankness and candid testimony. May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who called you has a purpose he wants to fulfill through you. He is faithful and it is my prayers that he will meet the desires of your heart. You are a great blessing to me. How I pray that the love of God that surpasses human understanding be upon you as you continue serving his children in the ministry that he has given you.

[PASTOR ( Evangelist) JOY BRINSON]

THE BIBLE SAYS THE WE OVERCOME BY OUR TESTIMONY. I TO HAVE HAD AN EXPERIENCE. I WAS NOT SAVE AT THE TIME BUT I KNEW BETTER. I HAD JUST HAD A BABY AND 1 MONTH LATER I WAS PREGEANT AGAIN AND I JUST DIDN'T SEE HOW I COULD MAKE IT. BUT I KNOW THAT I AM FORGIVEN AND I TOLD THE LORD THAT IF IT WAS HIS WILL FOR ME TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY THEN I WOULD ACCEPT HIS WILL GLADLY. I HAD TWO KIDS AT THE TIME, NOW I HAVE THREE. I THANK GOD FOR YOU SHARING YOUR TESTIMONY BECAUSE IT HLPS SO MANY PEOPLE. I HAVEN'T SHARED MINE WITH MANY PEOPLE BUT I THINK I WILL NOW TO HELP SO MANY OTHERS THAT DON'T THINK THEY CAN BARE THE SHAME OR THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WILL MAKE IT. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCEPT GODS PLAN FOR MY LIFE. I WOULD NO THAT NO MATTER WHAT I GO THROUGH I CAN MAKE IT AS LONG AS I GOT CHRIST IN MY LIFE. BUT I DIDN'T NO AND I WASN'T IN MY RIGHT MIND BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE CHRIST IN MY LIFE AND THAT IS HOW THE DEVIL TRICK SO MANY INTO HAVING ABORTIONS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE CLEARLY. YOU DON'T BEGIN TO SEE CLEARLY OR TO THINK CLEARLY UNTIL YOU ACCEPT CHRIST INTO YOUR LIFE. I PRAY SOMEONE WILL ACCEPT CHRIST INTO THEIR LIVES AND BEGIN TO MAKE GOOD HEALTHY DECISSIONS IN THEIR LIFE. GO BLESS.

Sister Sally,
Thank you for adding me as your friend. God bless you as you serve Him especially when you open your wounds for others to see and be healed. This is not only a word for deliverance but prevention too. I wish you would one day be hosted on Christian stations and share this testimony and also pray with people who think abortion is a way out.
Welcome to Kenya, though am still in Atlanta but Kenya is open to you.
Pastor Emmanuel.

[Sally Williams]

Amen, and thanks Evangelist for your encouragement.
