03 Apr [1st Wed] Healing Support (Acts 4:10-12) by Dr. Pat Castle
“It was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in His name this man stands before you healed. There is no salvation through anyone else.” ~ Acts 4:10-12

Reflection: The healing power of Christ is in all of us. LIFE Runners help heal those who were hurt by abortion. With 1 in 3 women experiencing abortion in their lifetime, we have many healing opportunities around us. May we have the courage to reach out to post-abortion women compassionately (to suffer with). A teenage LIFE Runner was offered the pill by a dermatologist as a way to moderate hormones for controlling acne. The teenage LIFE Runner and her Mom had an opportunity to share about how contraception can cause or lead to abortion. Based on the angry response from the dermatologist, she could be a post-abortion mother. Nearly half of abortions are not first time abortions, so this encounter may have prevented future abortions. LIFE Runners, keep taking steps in your “REMEMBER The Unborn – Jer 1:5” jerseys. Imagine those first few steps out of the upper room when the Apostles went out to evangelize the whole world. There were only 12 Apostles then and now there are over 2 billion Christians. With the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we are taking steps to heal and elevate our culture to respect life from conception to eternity.

Challenge: When sharing the reality of abortion with others, deliver the truth with compassion as someone listening is likely suffering from the regret of choosing abortion.
