Description
Jeremiah 9:20-21
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O women,
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a lamentation.
For death has come through our windows,
Has entered our palaces,
To kill off the children - no longer to be outside!
The Lord gave me this vision of Liberty in travail over this baby a few years ago, but I did not have all the elements of it in my understanding - enough to paint it - until just recently. I believed the Lord was saying I needed to paint it now. As I began to do my preliminary sketches, some new understanding dropped into my spirit. I knew Liberty was supposed to be in a city with the skyline behind her, but for about a year I had assumed it was to be New York. As I was sketching on that first day, I was listening to Lou Engle on a CD explaining the reason he is bringing THE CALL to Detroit on 11/11/11. I listened to the horrifying statistics on the number of black babies who are killed by abortion each year, and I suddenly knew Detroit was supposed to be in the background! And then I understood that she held a tiny Black baby in her arms! Liberty is deep in travail, crying out for our American children's freedom - their freedom to LIVE - beginning in Detroit!
As Lou spoke, he declared that God is raising up a new breed of Nazirite Men: Black men from Detroit and from Michigan who will be consecrated to the Lord. These men will contend in prayer for the pre-born children in our land. They will become the force that will turn the tide of Abortion in America.
This swiftly rising wave of targeted murder is cresting today. It is so much more sweeping than the tsunami in Japan. Our precious Americans are being washed away in a silent genocide. ...and so few cry out!
With this painting I am crying out.
Have Mercy, Lord!
May we work together to end Abortion in America!
