The Political Spirit is Killing Our Babies

The political spirit creates a culture where sharing the obvious will relegate you to punishment.

For example — a fetus is a baby.

Why is mainstream culture so blinded to this obvious reality? Or afraid to say it out loud?

Furthermore, why do we succumb to the loudest opinion in culture, instead of seeing clearly what is so obviously true? Have we really relegated the main messaging in society to the one who has the loudest bark or deepest pockets?

The fear of punishment, fueled by a political spirit, will silence us if we’re not aware of its schemes.

It’s time we wake up to the reality that a political spirit cannot and must not punish us into submission!

OLD TRICKS FROM A POLITICAL AGENDA

Lying agendas that keep people in denial and deception have been common throughout the ages. In the early 1600s, a scientist named Galileo, who through the use of the telescope, observed that the earth revolved around the sun and not the sun around the earth. The Catholic Church was the political force of that day, and Galileo’s scientific discovery opposed the Church’s theology, so the Pope tried him under suspicion of heresy.

The Church authorities forced him to renounce his discoveries and placed him under house arrest, where he lived out the last years of his life. Galileo was not allowed to state the obvious because it was politically incorrect. Through a highly developed system of punishment, the Catholic Church of that day relegated the general public to ignorance and lies.
Although religion still rules supreme in the political arena, it is no longer the Catholic Church that defines the political agenda of the post-modern age, but rather the religion of Secular Humanism.

Secular Humanism is to our day what the Catholic Church was to Galileo’s day. Humanism controls popular thought and, through a highly developed system of punishment, holds the contemporary intellect in ignorance, making it costly to acknowledge the obvious and embrace the observable.

The Catholic Church built huge, beautiful cathedrals where the priests would stand and proclaim their philosophies, molding the minds of their constituents and defining their reality. But in the post-modern era, you don’t have to go to church anymore because it comes to you.

The television sets of today are the cathedrals of yesterday and the media is the priesthood of Secular Humanism.
With well-defined doctrines and highly aggressive evangelistic crusades, these new “high priests” work to proselytize unbelievers and crucify those who won’t convert. You might say, “I don’t see the media trying anyone in court as heretics like the Catholics did. We live in a modern world where many different views are welcome. America is the land of free speech.”

Well, if you believe that, then just try telling someone in the news media that abortion isn’t ok. Or try even suggesting to the media high priest that, although men and women are equal, they are different.

You will discover what Galileo and his contemporaries experienced in their day—intense persecution! As far as Secular Humanists are concerned, you only have a right to their opinion!

HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES CULTURAL REALITIES

Many doctors and scientists (not all of them) have bent to this political pressure and refuse to acknowledge the observable. It’s important to note here that scientists who believe in something that is politically incorrect today may not get arrested as they did in Galileo’s day. They will, however, be poor for the rest of their lives because the political system controls the funding for most of the scientific community.

In other words, being politically incorrect as a scientist is financial suicide!

Make no mistake about it; abortion is a 90 billion dollar industry that drives a huge part of our global economy. The Civil War was really fought over this same premise. The southern states didn’t want to give up slavery because they had an agricultural economy and inexpensive slave labor was driving much of it. History does repeat itself!

INVENTION IS SUPPOSED TO LEAD TO INNOVATION

When Galileo perfected the telescope (he didn’t actually invent it), a whole new world was discovered. Many previous theories became outdated, and astronomy took a huge step forward, or at least it tried to.

Today, the sonogram is to modern medicine what the telescope was to the astronomers of Galileo’s age. We can now observe the development of fetuses in the womb and see how they respond to different conditions interjected into their tiny environment. What we have learned about early fetal development through the advent of the sonogram is no less than astounding. It should be completely altering the modern view of abortion because we can now witness with our own eyes the fact that the fetus feels pain and fights for the right to live as it is literally eaten alive by saline solution (acid) that is injected into its mother’s womb to abort it.

But the extreme political pressure that is being applied by the Humanist high priests is keeping us in the dark ages of religious doctrines and holding us to theories that are seriously outdated.

It is absurd that modern science has worked unceasingly in order to recreate, through artifacts billions of years old, the history of prehistoric creatures and proposes a complete account of the ecosystem that existed millions of years ago, while simultaneously humming and hawing persistently over asserting the idea that a fetus is a baby.

RISE UP, AND BE COURAGEOUS!

To date, many modern scientists have not had the courage of Galileo but instead have succumbed to the pressure of the humanist agenda and exchanged facts for fallacies and fables.

Where are the Galileos of our day? Where are the brave souls with brilliant minds who refuse to let the presuppositions of past generations and political agendas of special interest groups pervert their scientific discoveries? Leading scientists need to break the shackles of this political spirit and enlighten us about the true origin of human life in the womb of a woman.

They need to verify the observable and testify as expert witnesses in the highest courts of our land. The earth does revolve around the sun, and a fetus is a human being!

Even if you’re not a scientist, you can still play a role in the solution to abortion! Be a conduit for mobilization. Speak up, get involved at a grass-roots level in your community, have a say in your local PTA or City Council, and write to your representatives to express your opinions.

Beyond that, foster, adopt, get involved in the lives of women who are pregnant and not married! The Body of Christ can’t simply protest this issue without being a part of the solution!

I know this is a sensitive subject, and this is not the final word on abortion or the inception of life, but I won’t be silent simply because I can’t fit all of my thoughts into one post. I’d love to hear what you think in the comments, and please remember to be respectful as you share.

As Mother’s Day approached, I knew there was no one better to speak into the heart of motherhood than my wife, Kathy. Her life has been a living picture of grace, sacrifice, and Spirit-led strength. I believe her words will bless you the way her life has blessed me. Kris - Today, I want to honor the incredible women who wear the title of “Mother” with grace, strength, and unwavering love. A mother is a guiding light. She illuminates our paths with wisdom and warmth. She is the gentle hand that nurtures us in our earliest days, the fierce protector who stands by us through life’s storms, and the unwavering supporter of our dreams. Many times, Mom, our sacrifices go unnoticed. We juggle countless responsibilities, often putting our own needs aside to ensure the happiness and well-being of our family. That’s just what Moms do! My joy has always come from serving others. What some people call exhausting, I call invigorating! Even when my kids were young, I can't tell you how many sleepless nights I've had, comforting one of my babies because, ‘only Mommy will do.’ Love wins every time! But love has stolen my heart over and over again. In the good times and in the bad, Jesus has always been by my side, my solid rock and my firm foundation. He has been there beside you too! That big “S” that you wear on your chest didn't happen by accident. The bible says that He will never leave me or forsake me. During all of my laughter and through my many tears, He has always guided me in every situation. So when you feel weak, remember He is right by your side. When you don't think that you can move another muscle, He is your biggest cheerleader. When you get into a spot where life feels like more than you can handle, take a look at what the Lord says about you! You are Tenacious. Your perseverance is remarkable. As a Mom, you consistently push through obstacles with unwavering commitment to your goals. You are Courageous. Mom’s often take bold steps, stand up to what they think is just, even when faced with opposition or adversity. You can do this! You are Radiant. The love of Jesus shines brightly to all those who you come in contact with, inspiring positivity and hope. You are Unstoppable. Mom, once you set your sights on a goal, you exhibit an unwavering drive to help your children pursue their dreams and desires. You are Fierce. With a spirit that is unyielding, as a Mom, you will protect your family at all costs. You are Inspiring. Moms believe in their kids. We believe that all things are possible with God and encourage our families to go where no child has ever gone before! Mom, you are the architects of our character, teaching us values of kindness, empathy, and resilience. With every hug, every word of encouragement, you instill in us the confidence to pursue our passions and overcome obstacles. Your laughter brings joy to our lives, while your tears remind us of the depth of your love. As a mom myself, I celebrate not just the role you play but the remarkable individuals you are. You are the heart of the family, the keeper of traditions, and the source of unconditional love. Each moment shared, each lesson taught, and every story told weaves an unbreakable bond that shapes who we are. To all mothers, whether near or far, biological or chosen, your impact is profound and everlasting. Today, we celebrate you, not just for the love you give, but for the incredible people you are. Happy Mother’s Day! Kathy Vallotton

Have you ever felt called to a spiritual role but struggled to find your place in it? Perhaps you've experienced a divine moment where God revealed a prophetic gift in your life, yet you found yourself wondering why others don't seem to recognize or acknowledge it. This tension between divine calling and human recognition can be one of the most challenging aspects of walking in prophetic ministry. I've spoken with countless individuals who believe God has called them to be prophets, yet they feel frustrated when church leadership doesn't immediately recognize their office. They often share powerful testimonies of divine encounters or prophetic words that confirmed their calling. But here's the beautiful truth I've discovered: authentic spiritual authority requires both divine appointment and human recognition. Scripture shows us that even Jesus "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52). This powerful verse reveals an important principle – spiritual authority flourishes at the intersection of Heaven's approval and earthly recognition. The Bible offers us profound wisdom about this journey of walking out our prophetic calling. Let's explore three essential principles that can help you navigate this path with grace and wisdom. 1. Understand the Process Between Anointing and Appointment King David's story provides one of the most powerful examples of the gap between divine calling and public recognition. When Samuel anointed David as king, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him powerfully – yet David didn't actually become king for fourteen years! During that time, he served faithfully, developed his character, and waited for God's timing. The journey between your prophetic calling and your public commissioning is not an accident – it's divine design. This season of preparation builds the character, wisdom, and spiritual maturity needed to carry the weight of prophetic authority. Just as David was anointed three times – once by God through Samuel and twice by the people – your prophetic gift may require multiple confirmations. Remember that if you have favor with God but not yet with leadership, pushing for recognition prematurely can lead to painful experiences. As Proverbs 18:16 reminds us, " A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men. " Allow your gift to create the space for your ministry rather than trying to force open doors that aren't ready to receive you. 2. Avoid Self-Promotion and Political Maneuvering It’s important to realize that even though your gift is what gets you into the room, your character is the thing that keeps you there. There's a stark warning in Scripture about gaining influence through manipulation rather than divine timing. Absalom, David's son, shows us the danger of winning people's hearts through flattery, false promises, and undermining leadership. He created a following by positioning himself as more accessible and understanding than the established authority. In today's social media age, the temptation toward self-promotion has never been stronger. We can easily build platforms that elevate our image above our character. But true prophetic authority doesn't come through marketing yourself as an expert – it comes through humble service, consistent character, and divine timing. James 4:6 reminds us that " God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. " When we push for recognition prematurely or through manipulation, we may gain a position but miss the protection that comes with proper promotion. Like Joseph, who shared his prophetic dreams prematurely with his brothers, our lack of wisdom can create a much more difficult path to our destiny than God intended. 3. Embrace the Preparation Process The weight of the prophetic office is both invisible and substantial. I've witnessed many genuinely called individuals crumble under the pressure of premature promotion. The apostle Paul wisely instructed that leaders " should first be tested and then let them serve " (1 Timothy 3:10), and warned against laying hands on anyone hastily (1 Timothy 5:22). True preparation for prophetic ministry involves more than just having accurate prophetic words. It requires developing spiritual maturity, biblical understanding, relational wisdom, and emotional health. If you sense a prophetic calling on your life, embrace the preparation process with patience and humility. Serve faithfully where you are. Allow trusted leaders to speak into your life and development. Study the Scriptures diligently. And remember that the process between the promise and the palace is not just necessary – it's a gift that prepares you to succeed when your time comes. My prayer for you is that you would find peace in God's timing for your prophetic journey. May you grow in both favor with God and with people, allowing the Lord to develop in you the character needed to carry His voice with integrity. Let me be clear- the path to your prophetic purpose isn't just about reaching a destination – it's about becoming the person who can faithfully steward the authority that comes with it.
