Fetus’ have feelings… as we can see in Luke 1:44, John the Baptist leaped for joy when he heard Mary’s voice. During an abortion, it is true that the fetus can feel the pain and reacts to the danger. The silent scream is where a baby is being killed, and the child expresses unspeakable terror just moments before being killed. Since the Silent Scream is a subject all in itself, I am going to point you to a Web site, where they go into much more detail on the Silent Scream, and even show a video of an abortion in action where you can clearly see the Silent Scream taking place… a word of warning, this film is very graphic and not recommended for children to view! After all, abortion is not a pretty scene, and is nothing short of gruesome murder of an innocent and helpless child! Click on the link below for more information on The Silent Scream:

Abortion’s aftermath is proof alone that abortion is indeed spiritual! Jesus made it clear that murder is a source of spiritual defilement:

Matthew 15:18-20, “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man…”

Some women may not seem to be tormented so badly by abortion’s aftermath, but that is if their conscience has been sheered as by a hot branding iron:

1 Timothy 4:2, “Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.”

Satan is not a dummy when it comes to deceiving the world (isn’t he known for his clever deception?). There are some women who experience little or no torment after having abortions, but I believe they are simply ‘spared’ as to deceive the rest of us that it’s okay to have abortions and not all women will be tormented afterwards. Wouldn’t it make sense if Satan keeps 3% of those women who have abortions to be examples of how not all women are tormented after having an abortion, so that they could tell the rest of us how they have not been negatively affected by their abortion? Don’t fall for Satan’s clever deception.

If a fetus (unborn child) was simply a mass of tissue, then it would be impossible for any woman who believes such a lie to experience such awful mental torment and shame after having an abortion.

The truth is, abortion is a source for enormous spiritual and mental bondage and torment. It is a means for spiritual defilement, just as cold-blooded murder is, and opens a person up to unclean spirits (demons) to enter and harass the person. Studies have shown that abortion is also linked to suicide because of such torment and bondage… many women feel it’s better that they weren’t even born if they have to face such torment. Nobody knows what it’s like to be in bondage, until they are the ones facing it in their own lives, and the sad truth is that many women today don’t realize what they are getting themselves into until it is too late, and the damage is already done.

Women who have had abortions are almost always said to experience some or many of the following symptoms:

– Bondage to shame and guilt

– Nightmares relating to the abortion

– Feeling that God would never forgive them

– Depression which can lead to suicide (Studies show that abortion is linked to suicide)

– Self-hatred for allowing themselves to do such a thing

– Sleep disorders – finding it hard to get to sleep at night

– Flashbacks and even hearing sounds of children crying

– Desire to have another baby to replace the aborted baby

– Inability to form a true loving bond with her other children

– And many many more…

The list of side affects from an abortion are long. Jesus made it clear that murder is a means for defilement, and defilement is an open door to unclean spirits to come in and play havoc in a person’s life. I believe behind almost every (if not every) case of suicide, is a spirit… a demon that drives the person to take their own life to end the pain they are facing. People who have came close to suicide will often admit that there was a force that was ‘driving’ them to take their own life. It often tells them that they could end all of their problems by pulling the plug.

At what point does the baby (whether born or unborn) actually become a human being possessing a spirit? Does this happen when the child is 18 years old, and is said to be an adult? Does this happen when the child says it’s first words? How do we know when this happens? We could assume it takes place at the age 18, which would make it seem ok to kill anybody under 18. That would be silly, wouldn’t it? Who is to say that the baby isn’t a real human until it leaves the womb? This is what the pro-choice argue, but do they have any proof of this? Can it be backed with scripture? Absolutely not! It is nothing more than an assumption, at which, they are not capable of backing with any real proof!

Nowhere in the entire Bible does it give us even a hint that the child does not become a human being with a spirit until it leaves the womb!

Luke 2:21, “And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.”

2 Kings 4:17, “And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.”

If you take the word ‘conceive’ in the above verse and look it up in it’s Hebrew roots, we are given the Hebrew word harah, which interprets to: “A primitive root; to be (or become) pregnant, conceive (literally of figuratively): – been, be with child, conceive, progenitor.” For a woman to conceive, it literally means that she is now WITH A CHILD. What do the pro-choice tell us? That it’s not really a child, but just a mass of tissue! Sounds like those who believe we came from apes, and are still just a mass of tissue ourselves!

An unborn child is still a person in the eyes of God: The Bible is clear that God formed us in our mother’s womb, and He knew us before we were even CONCEIVED!

Genesis 25:23, “And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”

God is saying that there are two persons living in this woman’s womb, and each of them will bring fourth a nation.

Isaiah 49:1, “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb…”

Here we see the Lord calling somebody from the womb… clearly, the person was there, or God would have been calling nothing from the womb. The Bible is also clear that He knew us from the womb:

Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

Also notice in the above verse how God sanctified and ordained somebody before they were even born! How could this take place if there was not a real human being present in the womb?

Here’s another verse that helps show us how God brought David out of his mother’s womb…

Psalms 22:9, “But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.”

Can a mass of tissue be filled with the Holy Ghost? Can a mass of tissue leap for joy? Apparently, John the Baptist was much more than tissue, as we can see in the following verses…

Luke 1:15, “For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.”

Luke 1:44, “For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.”

The token that the pro-choice use, is that the fetus (unborn child) is not a person yet, but only a mass of tissue. (For that matter, many today also believe that we evolved from apes, and are nothing more than a mass of tissue ourselves!) If the fetus were simply a mass of tissue without a human spirit, then I think we could justify abortion. However, the fetus is not simply a mass of tissue, but rather a person to whom God is knitting together their physical body in the mother’s womb.

If the fetus was simply a useless mass of tissue, then abortion may be excusable.

But if the fetus happens to be a real person, who’s body is being knit together in it’s mother’s womb, then abortion is nothing less than murder of an innocent life. Just because somebody’s body is still being knit together, does not mean that they are not yet a human being. Children are not fully developed until age 18 or so, but we would never consider them any less than a human being!

Abortion is known to bring emotional torment in it’s aftermath, yet few understand this as being demonic and spiritual bondage. Abortion, as far as the Bible is concerned, is nothing less than the murder of an innocent person which God has created, and is a source for great spiritual bondage.

The root of this behavior needs Jesus to heal it. I’m still walking this out myself. But if this is you, too, repent of the need to control the narrative. Ask the Lord to show you the lie you believe in your heart that you have to explain yourself. Where was that seed planted in your heart? What is the root event it was planted in? Who do you need to forgive and release for writing those lies in your heart? Once Holy Spirit reveals it to you, invite Jesus into that wounded place to speak Truth.

See, I wanted to CONTROL THE NARRATIVE about how they saw or thought of me. And I certainly didn’t want them telling others untrue or half-truths about me, even though that’s not in my control.

Ultimately, I wanted to defend myself and justify my decision or action because I didn’t want to be rejected or to protect my reputation. I believed that if I could control the narrative, I could minimize the hurt.

The truth is that people will do and think what they want regardless of you telling them what’s what. But if I could explain everything and make them understand, I could protect myself. THIS is how over-explaining is a control tactic. By over-explaining, it’s me trying to control how it will affect me if they don’t understand my choice or walk away thinking badly of me.

It hurts to know that someone thinks badly or wrongly of you. That’s human. But Psalm 62:5-7 (and many other verses) says to depend on God alone, to put our hope in Him, that He is the one who protects and saves us. He alone is our defender and our shelter. We aren’t to take to defend ourselves. The Lord vindicates us.

I feel like the Lord wants you to know that while your flesh still squirms under the pressure of wanting to be understood and spill all the details so you can have that semblance of being understood, know this, the only thing that needs to be said is what you are released to say. Nothing more. Nothing less. God will work out all the rest.

One of the hardest things I’ve been walking through for some time now is learning not to “explain myself.”

For as long as I can remember, I have felt like I had to explain, in detail, why I do what I do, chose what I chose, the decisions I made, or who I am. It’s especially hard when someone has the wrong idea about me, something I did, or has devised their own presumptions (aka rude assumptions) behind a choice I made.

These things are undoubtedly rooted in wounding that became a coping mechanism, a way to protect me and avoid conflict or rejection.

While it’s important to offer some explanation for some occasions, I felt I had to explain ALL the details so they would UNDERSTAND me or my choices completely. How does this connect with control? Keep reading. I’m almost there.

Over-explaining indeed has its beginnings in trauma in many instances. It can develop as a result of gaslighting. Anxiety and ADHD can also lead to over-explaining or people who grew up in a strict home where you had to “justify your choices.” People who felt they needed to be convincing or read the other person’s responses to ensure they absolutely understood where they were coming from and may also over-explain.

Dr. Caroline Leaf explains it this way,

Over-explaining is a common trauma response for those who were often made to feel at fault as a child. At one point, the desire to people-please provided safety. But, please know, what happened is not your fault, and it’s not your job to regulate other people’s emotional states.”

Over-explaining is often associated with the fawn response.

There are many reasons why a person over-explains. But I want to focus on a specific instance of when it happens—when someone has the wrong idea about you or something you chose to do. Have you ever done this? Have you ever felt like you had to explain yourself?

What would you say if I told you that over-explaining yourself and your decisions or choices could be a hidden control tactic? Before you exit the stage left, let me explain. (pun intended)

If you thought it was a trauma response, hang with me. We will get there. First, let’s talk about what it looks like.

Over-explaining means describing something to an excessive degree. It includes oversharing and disclosing inappropriate information and details about your life or a situation.
