Before our missions trip to Vegas, I was approached by Eric Holmberg, who is an outstanding producer of Christian videos. He asked if Kendra and I would be willing to collaborate with him on his newest venture. He is producing a sequel to the powerful film, The Massacre of Innocence. It is this particular film the Lord used to break my heart, open my eyes, and recruit me into the battle against the culture of death many years ago.
While in Vegas, we had the opportunity to be filmed and introduce the sequel. The new film will be called The Abortion Matrix. Drawing heavily from Kendra's research, Eric will expose to a greater degree, the connection between abortion and feminist spirituality, witchcraft, and the demonic realm. This even more powerful sequel will prayerfully reproduce my testimony in the lives of many, who view this explosive new film. Please keep this project in prayer. It will be intense as the demonic realm is uncovered and exposed. I'll keep you updated on its progress.
"It was the fall of 1988 when the Lord began to convict me about the sick state of the church, the corruption of our culture, and the demise of America. At that time, I was a pastor in St. Petersburg, FL. Though I was a preacher of righteousness and spoke out against the burning issues of the day, I still was not personally involved in the cultural battle for the soul of America.
That all changed on a fateful day when a good pastor friend of mine, Franco Gennaro, from Tampa, Florida handed me a video tape and encouraged me to watch it. The name of the tape was called "The Massacre of Innocence" by Eric Holmberg. A few nights later, I found myself all alone and decided to view this controversial tape. I was impressed with its format. Initially, Eric takes the time to trace the roots of abortion and child-sacrifice Biblically. He then commenced to delve into the social, political, and cultural fallout that this sin against God and this crime against humanity have produced in our beleaguered nation.
It was the second part of the tape that would dramatically impact my life and change our service to God forever. There were times as a pastor I had spoken out against abortion from the Church pulpit, but up until the time I witnessed this tape, abortion was still just a word to debate. Even though I was saying with my lips "Abortion was murder," I had never acted like someone was truly dying. Somehow the reality of child-killing never struck the proper moral chord that would move me to fulfill my Biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
As the tape continued, the conviction of God upon my soul increased. Suddenly, a song came on that was performed by the female rock star Pat Bennitar. It is called, "Hell is for Children." As the song sounded forth, images of aborted babies were flashed upon the screen. It was overwhelming. My soul, heart, and conscience could hardly absorb the evil I was witnessing before my very eyes. Again, abortion to this point was a word that we argued about, but now the hellish reality was impressed upon my mind and I couldn't erase it.
The impact upon me was so great; I had to turn off the tape. I then ran to my bedroom and fell prostrate before the Lord. I'm not talking crying and weeping before God, but a wailing so intense that my physical chest hurt. I just could not for the life of me come to grips with how the nation I loved have descended into this wicked condition that was drowning us in a sea of blood and perversion.
Like Isaiah of old, I was undone (Isaiah 6:1-5). I had seen the Lord and His mind concerning this abomination and have spent the last several years fighting for the souls of men, the lives of children, and for the future of America. Right after the viewing of this video, I helped organize nine "rescues" in Florida. I then moved on to join the national rescue movement.
By God's grace, I now serve as Assistant Director to Rev. Flip Benham of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America.
I'm convinced that the law and government that allows for the murder of the preborn is simply a reflection of the heart of Americans. There is only one institution that God has ordained to change the heart of men and that is His word and Spirit operating through the Church of the living God. Child-killing and the gates of hell will always prevail against the Democratic and Republican parties. They will prevail against the President, Congress, Supreme Court, and every other government agency. They will not and cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:18).
The Church must be brought to repentance and then bring forth the fruits of repentance by fulfilling our Biblical responsibilities to our preborn neighbors. This very thing was accomplished in my life by this powerful video and other convicting measures by the Lord. May it spread to others and as the Church wins the battle on the streets and in our culture, one day we will see that victory reflected in the change of our laws and governmental policies. May God hasten the day."
