Babies and Their Angels 1 Babies and Their Angels By Mark McGee

[First published in January 2012] It s interesting how the mind works. I read the 2011-2012 Planned Parenthood Annual Report that showed their clinics killed more than 333,000 babies and distributed more than 1,430,000 emergency contraception kits that include birth control drugs used to cause abortions in pregnant women. Pause and consider those annual numbers for a moment because they are staggering. Something else staggering about Planned Parenthood s report is that they are proud of their accomplishments. We are so proud of the year s many successes, and deeply grateful to all the partners, supporters, volunteers, staff, and friends who helped make them possible. Signed, Cecilia Boone, PPFA Chair, and, Cecile Richards, PPFA President Unfortunately, our tax dollars help make Planned Parenthood abortions possible. That s because Planned Parenthood affiliates receive more than $542,000,000 a year in governmental health service grants and reimbursements. That s more than a billion dollars every two years. Not all of the money goes to pay for abortions and emergency contraception kits, but a significant amount does. As I was thinking about Planned Parenthood counting all its money and the number of babies it kills for annual reports, I thought about the angels of those babies in Heaven keeping records on the people Planned Parenthood is so proud of and deeply grateful to. Angels

Babies and Their Angels 3 are quite adept at keeping accurate records that will be one day opened for all to see its contents. Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 So, you might ask, who says these babies have angels in Heaven? The Son of God says they do. Notice where He says those angels stand in Heaven. At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Whoever causes one of

these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire. Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. Matthew 18:1-14 In Heaven, the angels of these babies always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. That is a place of prominence. God knows the terrible things Planned Parenthood and our government are doing to these little babies. Their angels always see the face of God and are counting and writing and keeping all the details for that day when

Babies and Their Angels 5 God will open all the books in Heaven and will judge the dead according to their works. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! I believe that Jesus points to the harsher penalties that await those people who cause the offenses in our world. Jesus was hardest on the religious leaders of Israel because they were the ones leading the people to stray from the Truth of God s Word. I believe the same will be true about those people who lead girls and women to abort their children. I am deeply saddened at the horrible deaths of tens of millions of children at the hands of abortionists since Roe vs. Wade in 1973. It is difficult to find any bright spot in all of this terror, but if there is one it is that these little babies have advocates in Heaven their angels, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and God the Father. Justice is difficult to find here on earth thank God for Heaven. Let me speak for a moment to anyone who has been involved in aborting their child. God loves you and will forgive you for any sin, even for killing an unborn child. That s the miracle of Christ s death on the Cross. His Blood covers our sin. We can be forgiven. I d like to recommend that you visit KnockTV s website. Geoff Rogers is a friend of mine and is doing a wonderful work in helping women deal with the emotional pain of abortion. On January 22nd, KnockTV will begin a special series called Surrender The Secret, which tells the

real-life abortion stories of five women, and follows them as they go through post-abortion recovery. We invite you to watch and get involved.
