We\u2019re going to look at it so we can discuss the sanctity of human life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">God\u2019s statement that He knew Jeremiah before He formed Him shows us that Jeremiah was a precious human being before he was ever born. And God recognized him as such.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Sadly, the importance of the sanctity of life has been kicked to the curb these days, thrown away like a piece of trash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The killing of unborn babies has drastically increased over the last 30 years, reaching numbers of epic proportion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">In the USA alone, the lives of unborn babies are snuffed out by the hundreds of thousands each year. The numbers added to that figure in other nations makes the total figures staggering to comprehend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">As the body of Christ, we need to take very seriously the sanctity of life. And we need to use the weapons of warfare that God has equipped us with in order to effectively combat the horrific things we are seeing. We need to fight them in the spirit realm, where they dwell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">These are not battles of the flesh. They are spiritual battles. And they are intense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It\u2019s important that we understand that we absolutely need to fight in the spirit to combat the things we are seeing in the natural.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We can\u2019t expect laws to change the hearts of people, even though laws are absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We can\u2019t expect rhetoric to draw people to God for forgiveness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And we can\u2019t expect heated discussions to bring repentance to the hearts of those who can\u2019t see the error in which they operate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It\u2019s long past time for the bride of Christ to don her armor and step up as warriors, to do battle against the darkness, laying aside the things that hinder us and prevent us from fighting effectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (NKJV) 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Please join us in battle, warring for the souls of man, in an effort to combat the darkness and push it back, shining God\u2019s light where it will draw the hearts of man to the One who created them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
