I am a woman conceived of rape. After, receiving Christ I can see why I was to be born and not aborted. My life is so purposeful. I am glad I am here to serve others!!!
My doctors alluded to me the idea of abortion on my daughter, who i am currently pregnant with. I belive by the stripes of Jesus she is healed and free from sickness and disease in the name of Jesus Amen. Let the doctors be astounded and God be given the glory when i deliver a perfect normal and healthy daughter in Jesus' name Amen.
HEYY! That gave me the biggest smile today!! What has been spoken over our unborn children has no Authority! God is Faithful Still! Let's give Him Praise Now!
My mother was rape got pregnant she have a boy, he is a men of God, good son , and a good brother. I can't imagine my mother without him , she loves him so much. Thank you for this preaching. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Why are there so many different and false churches? 1 Corinthians 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion... Jesus Christ established "The Church of Jesus Christ" in AD 33 on the day of Pentecost and that is the ONLY TRUE Church. Acts2:47 says "...the Lord added the church daily such as to be saved. (Added to that church, not to all these man made ORGANIZATIONS) The Church of Jesus Christ can not be an ORGANIZATION.... IT'S AN "ORGANISM" It being "The Body of Christ" Jesus said - Matthew 16:18... upon this rock I will build MY church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (The word 'MY' means ownership) That makes it His CHURCH. Anything outside of The Church of Jesus Christ is FALSE. Call it what you want, Pentecostal, Apostolic, Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Church of God, Potters House, Lakewood, TBN, etc. FALSE, FALSE, FALSE. Matthew 7:21 " Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; 1 Corinthians 1:10 ....by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you;. Jesus Christ is coming soon...you better get it right or you'll be going to hell. I stand FIRM on the word of God that's why you'll NEVER find me attending these FALSE churches which were created by man. Now remember the scripture..... Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Doc Cee

Just because your Mother's story turned out to be allright EVERY story does Not and we ALL are different! Yours is just one of a million stories! For every one like this, there are 10 or 20 who weren't! The Bible says to 'work out your OWN salvation with Fear and trembling! Not to speak for me or anyone else!
I understand where you're coming. I must also assert that the overturning of Roe v. Wade was not a Biblically based and/or Godly action, as it is connected to other deeper POLITICAL issues such as Healthcare and other things based upon a White male dominated society that seeks to oppress women
I have been in church 53 years. This is the first time I have heard a sermon on abortion. Thank you. We need more ministers to stand up for the Word of God.
I wonder how many people in his church stop coming after this? I now use this sermon to send to people when they ask me to join their church. I ask them would your Pastor feel comfortable preaching this sermon?
“Man can’t tell a woman what to do with her body but God can”....WOW! I kept seeing this video and did not want to click on it, I had an abortion and at the time I was relieved and indifferent. As I grew in Christ guilt came. It’s taken a LONG time to forgive myself. This preaching opened my eyes . I believe God wills that I share this information with someone I know struggling with it. Plus it’s a hot political topic. Keep saying the truth with the Bible pastor J. 💜
Heather Scott Don’t live under the weight of guilt. Christ has taken it all on the cross and you are free. Psalm 34:5 those that look to him are made radiant and their faces are never covered with Shame. ❤️ thanks for sharing that took a lot of courage!

@@tthomas You’re right! Too few have stood on this from a Biblical standpoint. Now look at where we are in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned. The world is upset and churches/leaders in the church are agreeing with them. Thank God for Pastor Jenkins and Bishop Wooden(Upper Room) and those that are speaking God’s truth! There are many more who need to speak up. We must not abandon God’s doctrine. This is our lifeline.
@@tthomas Sis, but the overturning was really about the fact the white people are becoming a minority. If you study the numbers, 60% of abortion are had by white women. so overturning Roe V Wade was not about protecting innocent life. It was about protecting white life and control. I am pro life but I'm not under some delusion that that's what it was about
I’m pregnant now and I just had a baby 6 months ago 😢but I trust god that everything will work out in Jesus name 🙌🏾 family and the world judge me so bad and I’m not gonna lie. It hurts and just the fact that I’m going to have a one-year-old and a newborn people call me crazy but I’m giving it to God. I trust this process. I know everything will work out for my good.
This message is powerful today and will always be timely. Someone listening to this message today and struggling in decision making. Thanks Pastor Jenkins!
I am 89, not on social media, because I understand the harm it has done. It isn't easy for me to go to church so I listen on line. This congregation is very fortunate to have a pastor who has the courage to tell you the truth as it is in the bible. This is a difficult subject to approach and you all go home and thank God for the pastor He sent you. You are more blessed than you know.
Pastor Jenkins is very kind, calm and respectfull to others when he answers their questions. He isn't rude, disrespectful to them nor does he make them feel ashame or belittle them. An example. to be used by all of us.
Jennifer God is swift to forgive.....When we know better,we do better & we tell others, & are more better.....Your transperancy,is to be admired. Be Blessed 🙏
Thank you for sharing. God knows how this happened to you and yes He has forgiven you and you will meet your child in heaven. Be sure to have annual mammograms bc abortions, particularly before breastfeeding, increase a woman's chances of developing breast cancer and GYN cancers (endometrial cancer/cervical). Also be aware that many women experience a type of PTSD, sometimes years later. Don't be afraid to seek help for depression/anxiety. Consider helping other women who are being tricked & taken advantage of in the same way. So many ways you can help through pregnancy crisis centers, hotlines, etc. Helping others will also help you to heal. You are loved and precious to your creator. Never give up.
Standing ovation to this pastor who has been bold and went beyond and has TAUGHT! He knows his congregation has differences of opinion and YET he stood up regardless with grace!
I'm thankful that there are preachers who aren't afraid to preach on this topic. GOD please continue to bless him and may he continue to preach your word.
I love when the baby started crying and pastor said “ it’s okay!!! I’m glad you had that baby, I’m glad my momma had me” It was so divine the baby started clapping on his own 😍😍😍💚💚💚!!! To have your baby in BIBLE STUDY shows so MUCH thirst for the Lord and his word💚 I have no EXCUSE💚 Thank you Jehovah 💚💚💚💚
We need more "believers" to mind their own uterus. If god can m*rrder living children, then a woman can abort considering that living thing cannot live outside of her up to 20 weeks.
I remember when I was in high school and I supported abortion because I thought it was advantageous, and I was a Christian. But Jesus changed my heart and my mind. Thank you God.
I am a Christian and i believe abortion is a moral issue..between that personand God. We don't have the right to judge anyone because we don't know their circumstances. Abortion shouldn't e used as a means of contraceptive. However, if there is incest, rape or the mothers life is at risk, then allowance should be made for termination of the pregnancy if that's what the woman wants. I can't imagine a 10, 12 , 15 etc being forced to have a baby if they were raped.
@@claudiawest52 not your call to make. God Almighty has already given His instructions in the Word of God for what to do in these situations. Did you not listen to the teaching in the video? Read the scriptures. Almighty God has the final say so. Government is attempting to usurp God's authority by saying otherwise. Abortion is murder. Period.
@@claudiawest52 Respectfully, I would challenge you to pray on it, read the scriptures he gave plus Old Testament and research what is moral understanding versus a principle of God. How does that play out. This is not an overnight issue. It may take a year or more. For me it did .
I'm impressed by the question and answer session, after his sermon. I don't know of many who would allow that exchange during service. I love his sermon and appreciate scripture to back up his position. Thank you, pastor. 😊

In the Book of Ezekiel God warns that Shepherds ( Pastors, Church Leaders, Prophets) who fail to teach God's Word to His people will be held accountable. In the New Testament Jesus indicates that it would be better if one be cast into water with a millstone around his neck if he teaches His children falsehoods. Pastor Jenkins will be blessed for being brave enough to teach the truth with such grace and kindness, without watering down biblical teachings on this subject.
I have never seen a question and answer session after a teaching on abortion. This speaks to his heart of wanting to help people. Thank you for posting.
This is the most biblically sound teaching I’ve heard on abortion. Not only that…this pastor voiced what I’ve been thinking for a while concerning the progression of policies that legalize murder of the innocent. I was on the wrong side of this issue for so long. I thank God everyday for His grace and mercy.
@@yarleumas well that's your choice i guess.......................but you must realize that not every child is born under perfect circumstances......but with trust in God and prayer God fixes everything....the fact that babies are given up for adoption should tell you that the birth of a child is sometimes unplanned.....furthermore there are parents out there that are always looking to adopt children
@@sincerely5906 just because it’s rare doesn’t give another complete stranger the right to tell a 10 year old what to do. It’s like she has been abused all over again. Furthermore like it or not Christianity is not the law of the land. You would be crying if Muslim law were adopted in this country. We need to sweep in front of our own doors first. By the way, I’m pro life, but I would never force a young girl to make a decision that she did not want.
you want to be God. That's people's problem and the government's problem, they want to be God instead of giving praise, honor and glory to the Most High God who created the heavens and the earth. Questions and debates about matters that God has already answered in His Word. People are stubborn and rebellious.
When I fell pregnant at 18 I decided to take a "morning after pill". The morning after pill did not work, I am so glad it didn't work and God had my back like that. God is so amazing He already KNEW I had no idea what I was doing and that I was just a terrified teenager. The moment I found out I was pregnant even after taking that pill, I knew this baby was ment to live so I just let it be. I gave birth to him and he was rushed to NICU because he couldn't breath by himself. My little ninja STILL fought to live and eventually got out of NICU. That's when I knew his life had a purpose. This little baby escaped death TWICE and WON both times. My son is turning 5 this May and I am so happy to have him. His life has a bigger purpose. I know.
AMEN! I’m so glad he taught on this. It’s tough, but the Word is clear. I pray Pastor Jenkins covers homosexuality too. Many in the Church are on the wrong side. As he said about this topic, the goal is not to make anyone feel humiliated, but just to teach the truth. 🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️
I thank the lord for this sermon given by Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr . This sermon will help me witness to those who listen to what the world views about this issue . Life is precious. Thank you Jesus ! 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you Pastor Jenkins for teaching the truth to us. Millions of people are confused today because their pastor have refused to teach the truth of the word of God has it relates to abortion (Killing) If we are to save our nation we need to teach and use the word of God as our moral guide for Everything.

Absolutely the clearest and best sermon on this topic I have ever heard. Love the demeanor of the Pastor, joy of the church, and the Q&A included to allow people to respond honestly is amazing. If I am ever in the area, would love to attend! My prayer for anyone struggling with this issue is for grace to be upon you.

I'm saving this to my Great Sermons Playlist! I am so grateful I can show this to my kids! This was preached like I've never seen before, and that's the truth! I'm truly grateful for his unapologetic firmness on the scripture without trying to cross into politically correctness. God is Worthy to Be Praised! I don't even know where this church is, can't remember when I subscribed, but so blessed that I did! Refreshing and Anointed sermon! Edit: Preach to the beautiful people, Pastor! Growing up, some of the black churches would not touch abortion. Generations lost...But for the Grace of God!
Thank you Pastor for this prophetic Word from God, you taught this message straight from scripture to penetrate the hearts, minds and spirits as the Lord planned for us to hear for such a time as this July, 6 2022.

I am a Christian and I am Pro-Choice which means that I believe that the decision to have an abortion is a decision that a woman must make with the consultation of her family and/or her physician. If she is a Christian woman, she will include God in that decision. I would not force my personal beliefs on anyone. That is why there is separation of State and Church. The Bible is completely silent on the issue of abortion and there are no scriptures that one can properly extrapolate that abortion is murder or even that it should ever or always be considered a sin. I believe it is a very bold statement to make that one knows God’s Heart in every situation where a women or teenager has to make the decision whether to have an abortion. I never had to face this difficult decision as a woman but I certainly do not judge those who have had to face this decision-only God can judge them; no one else. Nevertheless, I want to focus on a couple of specific points made by Pastor Jenkins. It is Pastor Jenkins opinion and his interpretation of the verses that he read in the Bible that life begins when there blood flowing. None of the verses that he cited were meant to address the issue of when does human life begin, particularly in connection with the concept of abortion. I find it interesting that the majority of the scripture cited by Pastor Jenkins was found in the Old Testament. There was only one scripture that I recall in the New Testament. The fact that the Old Testament was cited means that the scripture was directed to the Israelites and includes Mosaic/Jewish law. Research for yourself, but there is nothing in the Jewish Law or customs that suggest that life begins with the flowing of blood. Therefore, to suggest that any scripture in the Old Testament supports the position that life begins where there is blood flowing is misleading and false. Indeed, the Talmad (Jewish scripture) does not give full status of humanness to a child until birth. The Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: “the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day.” Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born. In the Torah (the Old Testament-first five books of the Bible), the first detailed description of the creation of a human being by God points to the moment when human life begins. “Yahweh God formed the man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living nefesh” (the first breath). In other words, life began for human being when God breathed breath into him (Genesis 2.7). Additional scriptures in the Torah demonstrate that breath is understood to be essential to life; and that when the breathing stops, life ends. “And all flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds, cattle, wild animals all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth and all human beings. Everything which had the nishmat (breath) of life in its nostrils, all that were on dry land died” (Genesis 7.21-22). According to Jewish scripture, the fetus is regarded as a part of the mother's body and not as a separate being until it begins to egress from the womb during the birthing process, and attains the status of 'nefesh,' which means soul in Hebrew. In other words, under Jewish law and their scripture (which includes the Old Testament), the fetus only becomes a person after most of its body emerges from the birth canal. The Jeramiah 1 verse has nothing to do with the issue of when does a fetus become a human being; as Pastor Jenkins correctly pointed out, God was speaking directly to Jeremiah. It’s improper to reference that scripture for the subject of abortion. Bottom line, Pastor Jenkins cannot say that God says life begins with the flowing of blood….that is simply a false interpretation of scripture. The second point I’d like to address is Pastor Jenkins statement that abortion is wrong because it is the shedding of innocent blood. I found it very telling that Pastor Jenkins did not answer the question on the death penalty when raised by the member of the congregation. It was directly relevant to the sermon just as the issue of War and other instances in which lives are lost. With respect to the issue of innocent blood, God tested Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his son, Isaac on Moriah. We know that Abraham begins to comply with this order from God when a messenger from God intervenes and substitutes a ram in place. Yet God did not send a messenger to spare the life of Jephthah's daughter when he offered her as a burnt sacrifice to God for bringing him victory against his enemies: Judges 11:30 through 40:" 30 And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: “If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”32 Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands. 33 He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon. 34 When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break.”36 “My father,” she replied, “you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me just as you promised, now that the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites. 37 But grant me this one request,” she said. “Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends, because I will never marry.”38 “You may go,” he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. 39 After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite tradition 40 that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.” Here, God allowed and accepted this sacrifice of a child to be made to Him. This is Biblical fact. Why God would allow Jephthah to sacrifice his daughter, my mind cannot comprehend but only God knows and it is not for us to know. In another set of scriptures, the Israelites shed innocent blood. Why the Israelites would want to dash the heads of infants against the rocks to revenge their enemies (Babylonians) , I do not know but we read Psalm 137:8-9 as follows: Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Again, this is an example of the shedding of innocent blood that God allowed and did not condemn. We also know that God allowed the first born of all Israelites to die in the book of Exodus. So, I share these passages to say that I don’t know why babies die or God allows them to die; I don’t know why women miscarriage or babies are not born to full term; I don’t know why a young 10 year old girl was raped or babies will die with significant birth defects or die within hours of their birth (like recently in Louisiana). Only God knows; only God can convict a person with the Holy Spirit to make a particular decision. Everyone is not a Christian. Indeed, in other countries, some women were forced to have abortions (i.e. China). Surely, one cannot say that this is murder. The one thing I can be rest assured, is that all of these souls that are lost are in the presence of God just like Jepthah’s daughter.
Thank you ! Pastor Jenkins , what a testimonial service ! How it is needed in today’s confusion in our country. Thank you for laying out scriptures from the The “Bible” on the word of “ God” . May “ God” continue to “bless” you and your ministry! Amen !
To deem an unborn child conceived in rape or incest a candidate for abortion is to judge the child itself as an abomination not the assault/violent act. This was such a scriptural teaching. Our bodies are not our own. The life is in the blood. Sound teaching, praise God.
I am so thankful for the privilege of having heard the truth presented in such a warm and overwhelmingly scriptural way. God bless you for willing to speak the truth in love.
Abortion is such a hot button topic in the world and even in the church. I praise God for the way Pastor Jenkins broached this topic with loving kindness and compassionate wisdom, showing us the heart of God by walking us through the scriptures. I thank God for allowing my mother to give life to me. I thank God for my three children and my 13 grandchildren. What a blessing all of them are.
Great teaching. I was just looking into this topic for I'm going to talk to someone about abortion. It clarified many thoughts in my mind but most of all "the will of God". God bless you pastor for the amazing word.
Teach Pastor, we need to hear the truth. Thank you for teaching the truth and not being afraid. As a listener said, your congregation are so blessed to have you! Let God continue to use you to set us free and know the truth. Abortion is a tough topic in America, but God🙌🏼
What a wonderful Pastor. I wish his church was near me, I sure would love to sit under his teaching. These people are so blessed to have him! God Bless him and his family!
After all the comments recently on social media and the news, I was looking for a way to continue witnessing to those who are so against life!! ... or making a decision for life or death. Thank you so much for your sermon! Not many will preach this message!
I am watching this in 2022 - when the topic of abortion/same-sex marriage has taken a front seat to all of our lives. Pastor Jenkins Sr did an EXCELLENT job at laying this down from the Word of God line upon line. It was not his 'opinion' that came to the forefront on the issue, but it was, 'This is what the Word of God says and this is how God feels about it'. This has got to be every Believer's stance - no matter what...and I can assure you - the 'no matter whats' are going to come! *Choose ye this day Whom you will serve and truly serve Him'....
I am a Christian and I am Pro-Choice which means that I believe that the decision to have an abortion is a decision that a woman must make with the consultation of her family and/or her physician. If she is a Christian woman, she will include God in that decision. I would not force my personal beliefs on anyone. That is why there is separation of State and Church. The Bible is completely silent on the issue of abortion and there are no scriptures that one can properly extrapolate that abortion is murder or even that it should ever or always be considered a sin. I believe it is a very bold statement to make that one knows God’s Heart in every situation where a women or teenager has to make the decision whether to have an abortion. I never had to face this difficult decision as a woman but I certainly do not judge those who have had to face this decision-only God can judge them; no one else. Nevertheless, I want to focus on a couple of specific points made by Pastor Jenkins. It is Pastor Jenkins opinion and his interpretation of the verses that he read in the Bible that life begins when there blood flowing. None of the verses that he cited were meant to address the issue of when does human life begin, particularly in connection with the concept of abortion. I find it interesting that the majority of the scripture cited by Pastor Jenkins was found in the Old Testament. There was only one scripture that I recall in the New Testament. The fact that the Old Testament was cited means that the scripture was directed to the Israelites and includes Mosaic/Jewish law. Research for yourself, but there is nothing in the Jewish Law or customs that suggest that life begins with the flowing of blood. Therefore, to suggest that any scripture in the Old Testament supports the position that life begins where there is blood flowing is misleading and false. Indeed, the Talmad (Jewish scripture) does not give full status of humanness to a child until birth. The Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: “the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day.” Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born. In the Torah (the Old Testament-first five books of the Bible), the first detailed description of the creation of a human being by God points to the moment when human life begins. “Yahweh God formed the man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living nefesh” (the first breath). In other words, life began for human being when God breathed breath into him (Genesis 2.7). Additional scriptures in the Torah demonstrate that breath is understood to be essential to life; and that when the breathing stops, life ends. “And all flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds, cattle, wild animals all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth and all human beings. Everything which had the nishmat (breath) of life in its nostrils, all that were on dry land died” (Genesis 7.21-22). According to Jewish scripture, the fetus is regarded as a part of the mother's body and not as a separate being until it begins to egress from the womb during the birthing process, and attains the status of 'nefesh,' which means soul in Hebrew. In other words, under Jewish law and their scripture (which includes the Old Testament), the fetus only becomes a person after most of its body emerges from the birth canal. The Jeramiah 1 verse has nothing to do with the issue of when does a fetus become a human being; as Pastor Jenkins correctly pointed out, God was speaking directly to Jeremiah. It’s improper to reference that scripture for the subject of abortion. Bottom line, Pastor Jenkins cannot say that God says life begins with the flowing of blood….that is simply a false interpretation of scripture. The second point I’d like to address is Pastor Jenkins statement that abortion is wrong because it is the shedding of innocent blood. I found it very telling that Pastor Jenkins did not answer the question on the death penalty when raised by the member of the congregation. It was directly relevant to the sermon just as the issue of War and other instances in which lives are lost. With respect to the issue of innocent blood, God tested Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his son, Isaac on Moriah. We know that Abraham begins to comply with this order from God when a messenger from God intervenes and substitutes a ram in place. Yet God did not send a messenger to spare the life of Jephthah's daughter when he offered her as a burnt sacrifice to God for bringing him victory against his enemies: Judges 11:30 through 40:" 30 And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: “If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”32 Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands. 33 He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon. 34 When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break.”36 “My father,” she replied, “you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me just as you promised, now that the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites. 37 But grant me this one request,” she said. “Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends, because I will never marry.”38 “You may go,” he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. 39 After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite tradition 40 that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.” Here, God allowed and accepted this sacrifice of a child to be made to Him. This is Biblical fact. Why God would allow Jephthah to sacrifice his daughter, my mind cannot comprehend but only God knows and it is not for us to know. In another set of scriptures, the Israelites shed innocent blood. Why the Israelites would want to dash the heads of infants against the rocks to revenge their enemies (Babylonians) , I do not know but we read Psalm 137:8-9 as follows: Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us.

Thank Pastor Jenkins for letting God use you to tell the truth based upon God's word!! I pray that God continue to bless, keep and strengthen you as you boldly teach his word!!!
I thank and praise God for this powerful teaching of His Word. It blessed my soul to hear the truth being taught in such a way that a child can understand and without confusion. May God bless you Pastor Jenkins for standing on God's Word.
One of the Best Preachings on Abortion I've heard in years!!! I had to subscribe to this pastor. As a minister; myself, this pastor has definitely help me to be more of a Spiritual Voice for the Unborn! #LifeBeginsInTheWomb
Pastor Jenkins, fantastic teacher. I commend you for being honest and using God’s word to teach and opening up the floor for honest questions in order to teach your congregation earnestly and faithfully. God bless you.
I found this message to be enlightening. The Pastor broke it down into clear, concise language concerning the "Abortion issue" plaguing this country and countries of the world. I fully agree with all that he said. And, it also my prayer that all would lock this message in their hearts for all life is precious to God our Creator.
Noooooo mam, all life is NOT precious to "god". How many babies did "god" murder in the bible???? Who was asked to sacrifice his son??? Oooh, but nobody wants to think about that. 🤔
Thank you Pastor Jenkins for your commitment to feed your people God's word and calling Christians to think like God and not like men. Praying for your ministry and your church.
I love how this pastor is delivering the truth regardless of what the world says. Its not many like this anymore. People hate this kind of truth. He is doing what God has called him to do not what the world wants him to do. Job well done pastor!!!!!
i JUST DISCOVERED THIS WONDERFUL CHURCH AND PASTOR. The talk on abortion should be shared with all. God bless you all in the holy and precious name of Jesus.

What a gift we are to God. What a blessing to have this outline taught of what God has to say. I pray for those who will act like this was a forced teaching when clearly it wasn't. We minister to others because we know God has been good to us, hope that others will hear our testimony, and forma relationship with God so they can depart from sins that impact them and others too.

Bless you Pastor Jenkins for your obedience in delivering this powerful word. This is a word that comes with much warfare from the realm of darkness. It is my prayer that more Pastors (Shepherds) would teach their members (sheep) the truth in God's holy word about such a controversial issue.
Thank you for being a servant of God. Jesus Christ has put you in this place and time to prepare for the harvest. You have equipped me to witness in love and truth on abortion and other struggles people face today.
As a child of God I and all of us are Sinners and fall short of Gods Glory but with Repentance Obedience Submitting Acceptance Redemption Belief Great Faith the Lord will forgive us. Personal testimony when I was in my twenties I decided to have an abortion. It weighed heavy on my heart throughout the years after getting married I conceived two beautiful boys and they were and are the most joyful blessing in my life. They are both adults now and I wouldn't trade being there mother for Nothing in the World. I am so thankful for the Lords Mercy and Grace towards me and my sons he is a loving God who's always Worthy To Be Praised 🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗
Tunmibi Toluwani thanks for your comment! I was thinking about the lady talking about a child being raped and getting pregnant and my mind was thinking the child was conceived of evil or evildoing. So would the child be evil? People who rape children are evil and possessed i think? Your comment made me remember that Jesus save anyone! And will bring all the innocent souls from hell and restore them in the glory of Gods presence! Thank you for your comment. Im not saying that we should abort children from these few circumstances but I was perplexed thinking about this! I love this church. And this congregation! Im soo happy God led me to this pastor and his delivery of the word.
my comment is motivated by my experience : most people do not understand the guilt that comes with abortion , I had aborted before and my husband was aware of it and he paid for it but I paid very dearly for it ...i shed innocent blood and the blood was on my head for years until one day , after i listened to a message of deliver ance and prayer , God opened my eyes in the realm of the spirit how a blood clot was dropped off my head and prior to that I saw myself been held with chain but the chain got broken when I told my children I had shed an innocent blood during bible discussion .....one has to pray for mercy and be convince the blood is wash off you by the blood of Jesus.. It's by the grace of God he were saved not by our works. I received mercy after all .... Be bless in Jesus name.
God bless that lady for coming out to say , she was a result of rape.. people like to hide their mistakes. Sharing an experience do save lives !! I will not advise anyone go that path.

I live in the UK, but have been following this situation in the USA closely. God bless you pastor, for being on of the few pastors with a good social media presence to speak Gods truth about this topic and not repeat the worlds mantra of a woman's right to choose! Will be praying your strength 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I am a woman conceived of rape. After, receiving Christ I can see why I was to be born and not aborted. My life is so purposeful. I am glad I am here to serve others!!!
Praise God for you!
HalleluYah! Bless u, sis!

I belive by the stripes of Jesus she is healed and free from sickness and disease in the name of Jesus Amen. Let the doctors be astounded and God be given the glory when i deliver a perfect normal and healthy daughter in Jesus' name Amen.

Why are there so many different and false churches? 1 Corinthians 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion... Jesus Christ established "The Church of Jesus Christ" in AD 33 on the day of Pentecost and that is the ONLY TRUE Church. Acts2:47 says "...the Lord added the church daily such as to be saved. (Added to that church, not to all these man made ORGANIZATIONS) The Church of Jesus Christ can not be an ORGANIZATION.... IT'S AN "ORGANISM" It being "The Body of Christ" Jesus said - Matthew 16:18... upon this rock I will build MY church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (The word 'MY' means ownership) That makes it His CHURCH. Anything outside of The Church of Jesus Christ is FALSE. Call it what you want, Pentecostal, Apostolic, Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Church of God, Potters House, Lakewood, TBN, etc. FALSE, FALSE, FALSE. Matthew 7:21 " Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; 1 Corinthians 1:10 ....by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you;. Jesus Christ is coming soon...you better get it right or you'll be going to hell. I stand FIRM on the word of God that's why you'll NEVER find me attending these FALSE churches which were created by man. Now remember the scripture..... Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Just because your Mother's story turned out to be allright EVERY story does Not and we ALL are different! Yours is just one of a million stories! For every one like this, there are 10 or 20 who weren't! The Bible says to 'work out your OWN salvation with Fear and trembling! Not to speak for me or anyone else!
After the recent overturning of Roe v Wade, I wanted to hear this sermon again. Thank you Rev. Jenkins for this teaching!
Amen
100%!! This blessed me today!! He certainly don't know how prophetic he was teaching on this 3 years ago.
Listen at this FALSE PREACHER & THESE BRAIN WASHED IDIOTS!
I understand where you're coming. I must also assert that the overturning of Roe v. Wade was not a Biblically based and/or Godly action, as it is connected to other deeper POLITICAL issues such as Healthcare and other things based upon a White male dominated society that seeks to oppress women
I understand this lady that was born and raised by a parent that didn't want you and you felt like it was your fault but GOD
I have been in church 53 years. This is the first time I have heard a sermon on abortion. Thank you. We need more ministers to stand up for the Word of God.
Good grief. This is the same "god" that had no problem m*rdering all the first-born sons that were living outside of the mother's uterus.
I wonder how many people in his church stop coming after this? I now use this sermon to send to people when they ask me to join their church. I ask them would your Pastor feel comfortable preaching this sermon?
It's because it is a sin God said it
@@corithomas8229 God ain't said that. It's not a sin when he murders or orders others to murder on his behalf. Get outta here.
@@corithomas8229if you are trying to win a person over, this kind of response doesn't do it.
“Man can’t tell a woman what to do with her body but God can”....WOW! I kept seeing this video and did not want to click on it, I had an abortion and at the time I was relieved and indifferent. As I grew in Christ guilt came. It’s taken a LONG time to forgive myself. This preaching opened my eyes . I believe God wills that I share this information with someone I know struggling with it. Plus it’s a hot political topic. Keep saying the truth with the Bible pastor J. 💜
Heather Scott Don’t live under the weight of guilt. Christ has taken it all on the cross and you are free. Psalm 34:5 those that look to him are made radiant and their faces are never covered with Shame. ❤️ thanks for sharing that took a lot of courage!

First time I've ever heard abortion taught/ preached against. An end-times message. This is God's doing and it is marvelous in His sight! Hallelujah 🙋
The upper room pastor has taught on it too. Very rare in our community but soooo needed because our community is the only one not growing!
Catholics preach against it a lot.

@@tthomas You’re right! Too few have stood on this from a Biblical standpoint. Now look at where we are in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned. The world is upset and churches/leaders in the church are agreeing with them. Thank God for Pastor Jenkins and Bishop Wooden(Upper Room) and those that are speaking God’s truth! There are many more who need to speak up. We must not abandon God’s doctrine. This is our lifeline.
@@tthomas Sis, but the overturning was really about the fact the white people are becoming a minority. If you study the numbers, 60% of abortion are had by white women. so overturning Roe V Wade was not about protecting innocent life. It was about protecting white life and control. I am pro life but I'm not under some delusion that that's what it was about
I’m pregnant now and I just had a baby 6 months ago 😢but I trust god that everything will work out in Jesus name 🙌🏾 family and the world judge me so bad and I’m not gonna lie. It hurts and just the fact that I’m going to have a one-year-old and a newborn people call me crazy but I’m giving it to God. I trust this process. I know everything will work out for my good.
Same situation am in , considered abortion but I later changed my mind and I have chosen to keep my baby regardless of the public opinion
They need to grow up together dnt worry about ppl worry about gods view
This was a message 3 years ago. This pastor prepared his Flock before the Storm. Great message
This message is powerful today and will always be timely. Someone listening to this message today and struggling in decision making. Thanks Pastor Jenkins!
Thx for mentioning that! That's amazing. God sends his prophets.
Well said
Amein
I am 89, not on social media, because I understand the harm it has done. It isn't easy for me to go to church so I listen on line. This congregation is very fortunate to have a pastor who has the courage to tell you the truth as it is in the bible. This is a difficult subject to approach and you all go home and thank God for the pastor He sent you. You are more blessed than you know.
God bless you sister Ruth
God bless you ma'am!🙏🏼
❤Amen
Amen! If we had more courageous Pastors like him, maybe America wouldn’t be under the curse.
AMEN!!!
My son is here and he is beautiful. I’m glad I kept him!!
May he be a continual blessing to you and us....
And thank God you're alive to see how beautiful he is!
Pastor Jenkins is very kind, calm and respectfull to others when he answers their questions. He isn't rude, disrespectful to them nor does he make them feel ashame or belittle them. An example. to be used by all of us.
Very soothing
Thank you Pastor I had an abortion when I was 17 I didn't know what I was doing I have asked God to forgive me
Jennifer God is swift to forgive.....When we know better,we do better & we tell others, & are more better.....Your transperancy,is to be admired. Be Blessed 🙏
@@kimamey8460 thank you for your word God bless you
He has and He will restore you fully. Praise His Holy Name, Amen!
And God has forgiven you!
Thank you for sharing. God knows how this happened to you and yes He has forgiven you and you will meet your child in heaven. Be sure to have annual mammograms bc abortions, particularly before breastfeeding, increase a woman's chances of developing breast cancer and GYN cancers (endometrial cancer/cervical). Also be aware that many women experience a type of PTSD, sometimes years later. Don't be afraid to seek help for depression/anxiety.
Consider helping other women who are being tricked & taken advantage of in the same way. So many ways you can help through pregnancy crisis centers, hotlines, etc. Helping others will also help you to heal. You are loved and precious to your creator. Never give up.
This is a solid teaching. No denying the sovereignty of God's word.
Standing ovation to this pastor who has been bold and went beyond and has TAUGHT! He knows his congregation has differences of opinion and YET he stood up regardless with grace!
I'm thankful that there are preachers who aren't afraid to preach on this topic. GOD please continue to bless him and may he continue to preach your word.
I love when the baby started crying and pastor said “ it’s okay!!! I’m glad you had that baby, I’m glad my momma had me”
It was so divine the baby started clapping on his own 😍😍😍💚💚💚!!!
To have your baby in BIBLE STUDY shows so MUCH thirst for the Lord and his word💚 I have no EXCUSE💚
Thank you Jehovah 💚💚💚💚
Amen God Bless You and your Beautiful Baby 🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗
Yes, I wept.
Amen
“We need more believers with some backbone” Wow!
We need more "believers" to mind their own uterus. If god can m*rrder living children, then a woman can abort considering that living thing cannot live outside of her up to 20 weeks.
Amen, I was meant to be here. All praises to our Lord!
I remember when I was in high school and I supported abortion because I thought it was advantageous, and I was a Christian. But Jesus changed my heart and my mind. Thank you God.
I am a Christian and i believe abortion is a moral issue..between that personand God. We don't have the right to judge anyone because we don't know their circumstances. Abortion shouldn't e used as a means of contraceptive. However, if there is incest, rape or the mothers life is at risk, then allowance should be made for termination of the pregnancy if that's what the woman wants. I can't imagine a 10, 12 , 15 etc being forced to have a baby if they were raped.
@@claudiawest52 not your call to make. God Almighty has already given His instructions in the Word of God for what to do in these situations. Did you not listen to the teaching in the video? Read the scriptures. Almighty God has the final say so. Government is attempting to usurp God's authority by saying otherwise. Abortion is murder. Period.
@@claudiawest52 Respectfully, I would challenge you to pray on it, read the scriptures he gave plus Old Testament and research what is moral understanding versus a principle of God. How does that play out. This is not an overnight issue. It may take a year or more. For me it did .
@@claudiawest52They use to sang a song, that is not song, much anymore. It goes like this" I know the Bible right, somebody's wrong
I love this man!! And yes, I was conceived when my parents 1st met on a blind date in 1968, and I am so thankful that my Mama chose to give me life!!
I'm impressed by the question and answer session, after his sermon. I don't know of many who would allow that exchange during service. I love his sermon and appreciate scripture to back up his position. Thank you, pastor. 😊
Not enough preachers will preach on this topic bc he fears stepping on too many toes! The holy spirit is the ultimate teacher!
Faye I need to get back in Christ. I feel curses and sick. Please pray I need to be whole and not Grieving the holy Spirit sat down. Feel FOOLISH.

In the Book of Ezekiel God warns that Shepherds ( Pastors, Church Leaders, Prophets) who fail to teach God's Word to His people will be held accountable. In the New Testament Jesus indicates that it would be better if one be cast into water with a millstone around his neck if he teaches His children falsehoods. Pastor Jenkins will be blessed for being brave enough to teach the truth with such grace and kindness, without watering down biblical teachings on this subject.
I have never seen a question and answer session after a teaching on abortion. This speaks to his heart of wanting to help people. Thank you for posting.
This is the most biblically sound teaching I’ve heard on abortion. Not only that…this pastor voiced what I’ve been thinking for a while concerning the progression of policies that legalize murder of the innocent. I was on the wrong side of this issue for so long. I thank God everyday for His grace and mercy.
So he is saying that it’s God’s will that a 10 year old child have her father’s baby? If so, I don’t want anything to do with that god.
@@yarleumas well that's your choice i guess.......................but you must realize that not every child is born under perfect circumstances......but with trust in God and prayer God fixes everything....the fact that babies are given up for adoption should tell you that the birth of a child is sometimes unplanned.....furthermore there are parents out there that are always looking to adopt children
@@sincerely5906 just because it’s rare doesn’t give another complete stranger the right to tell a 10 year old what to do. It’s like she has been abused all over again. Furthermore like it or not Christianity is not the law of the land. You would be crying if Muslim law were adopted in this country. We need to sweep in front of our own doors first. By the way, I’m pro life, but I would never force a young girl to make a decision that she did not want.
you want to be God. That's people's problem and the government's problem, they want to be God instead of giving praise, honor and glory to the Most High God who created the heavens and the earth. Questions and debates about matters that God has already answered in His Word. People are stubborn and rebellious.
@@sincerely5906 in my opinion it is not a religious issue. This is a race preservation issue. White folks birth rates are down.
When I fell pregnant at 18 I decided to take a "morning after pill". The morning after pill did not work, I am so glad it didn't work and God had my back like that. God is so amazing He already KNEW I had no idea what I was doing and that I was just a terrified teenager. The moment I found out I was pregnant even after taking that pill, I knew this baby was ment to live so I just let it be. I gave birth to him and he was rushed to NICU because he couldn't breath by himself. My little ninja STILL fought to live and eventually got out of NICU. That's when I knew his life had a purpose. This little baby escaped death TWICE and WON both times. My son is turning 5 this May and I am so happy to have him. His life has a bigger purpose. I know.
Thank you Pastor Jenkins for TEACHING this subject. Bless you for opening the floor to allow questions the nation has!
AMEN! I’m so glad he taught on this. It’s tough, but the Word is clear. I pray Pastor Jenkins covers homosexuality too. Many in the Church are on the wrong side. As he said about this topic, the goal is not to make anyone feel humiliated, but just to teach the truth. 🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️
Amen so many Pastor's TODAY are "AFRAID" to speak out on this topic for fear of loosing their membership SMH
I thank the lord for this sermon given by Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr . This sermon will help me witness to those who listen to what the world views about this issue . Life is precious. Thank you Jesus ! 🙏🏼❤️
Capital L for Lord please
Thank You Pastor for having the BACKBONE and COURAGE To TEACH The TRUTH of GODS Word.
Thank you Pastor Jenkins for teaching the truth to us. Millions of people are confused today because their pastor have refused to teach the truth of the word of God has it relates to abortion (Killing) If we are to save our nation we need to teach and use the word of God as our moral guide for Everything.

If I am ever in the area, would love to attend! My prayer for anyone struggling with this issue is for grace to be upon you.

I'm saving this to my Great Sermons Playlist! I am so grateful I can show this to my kids! This was preached like I've never seen before, and that's the truth! I'm truly grateful for his unapologetic firmness on the scripture without trying to cross into politically correctness. God is Worthy to Be Praised! I don't even know where this church is, can't remember when I subscribed, but so blessed that I did! Refreshing and Anointed sermon!
Edit: Preach to the beautiful people, Pastor! Growing up, some of the black churches would not touch abortion. Generations lost...But for the Grace of God!
4Knewt, the church is in Glenarden Maryland. I am impressed with the teaching of the Word in Spirit and in Truth. Be Blessed!
Thank you Pastor for this prophetic Word from God, you taught this message straight from scripture to penetrate the hearts, minds and spirits as the Lord planned for us to hear for such a time as this July, 6 2022.
I'm three years late in seeing this and it confirms the thoughts the Lord has given me. Thank you Pastor Jenkins!
It is so refreshing, to see that it is still pastors who stand on the truth. Thanks this video was needed, perfect timing.
Great teaching thanks pr Jenkins Lord forgive me and have mercy upon ...I was lost by then but now am found

you are absolutely right!
I am a Christian and I am Pro-Choice which means that I believe that the decision to have an abortion is a decision that a woman must make with the consultation of her family and/or her physician. If she is a Christian woman, she will include God in that decision. I would not force my personal beliefs on anyone. That is why there is separation of State and Church. The Bible is completely silent on the issue of abortion and there are no scriptures that one can properly extrapolate that abortion is murder or even that it should ever or always be considered a sin. I believe it is a very bold statement to make that one knows God’s Heart in every situation where a women or teenager has to make the decision whether to have an abortion. I never had to face this difficult decision as a woman but I certainly do not judge those who have had to face this decision-only God can judge them; no one else.
Nevertheless, I want to focus on a couple of specific points made by Pastor Jenkins. It is Pastor Jenkins opinion and his interpretation of the verses that he read in the Bible that life begins when there blood flowing. None of the verses that he cited were meant to address the issue of when does human life begin, particularly in connection with the concept of abortion. I find it interesting that the majority of the scripture cited by Pastor Jenkins was found in the Old Testament. There was only one scripture that I recall in the New Testament. The fact that the Old Testament was cited means that the scripture was directed to the Israelites and includes Mosaic/Jewish law. Research for yourself, but there is nothing in the Jewish Law or customs that suggest that life begins with the flowing of blood. Therefore, to suggest that any scripture in the Old Testament supports the position that life begins where there is blood flowing is misleading and false. Indeed, the Talmad (Jewish scripture) does not give full status of humanness to a child until birth. The Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: “the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day.” Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born. In the Torah (the Old Testament-first five books of the Bible), the first detailed description of the creation of a human being by God points to the moment when human life begins. “Yahweh God formed the man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living nefesh” (the first breath). In other words, life began for human being when God breathed breath into him (Genesis 2.7). Additional scriptures in the Torah demonstrate that breath is understood to be essential to life; and that when the breathing stops, life ends. “And all flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds, cattle, wild animals all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth and all human beings. Everything which had the nishmat (breath) of life in its nostrils, all that were on dry land died” (Genesis 7.21-22). According to Jewish scripture, the fetus is regarded as a part of the mother's body and not as a separate being until it begins to egress from the womb during the birthing process, and attains the status of 'nefesh,' which means soul in Hebrew. In other words, under Jewish law and their scripture (which includes the Old Testament), the fetus only becomes a person after most of its body emerges from the birth canal. The Jeramiah 1 verse has nothing to do with the issue of when does a fetus become a human being; as Pastor Jenkins correctly pointed out, God was speaking directly to Jeremiah. It’s improper to reference that scripture for the subject of abortion. Bottom line, Pastor Jenkins cannot say that God says life begins with the flowing of blood….that is simply a false interpretation of scripture.
The second point I’d like to address is Pastor Jenkins statement that abortion is wrong because it is the shedding of innocent blood. I found it very telling that Pastor Jenkins did not answer the question on the death penalty when raised by the member of the congregation. It was directly relevant to the sermon just as the issue of War and other instances in which lives are lost. With respect to the issue of innocent blood, God tested Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his son, Isaac on Moriah. We know that Abraham begins to comply with this order from God when a messenger from God intervenes and substitutes a ram in place. Yet God did not send a messenger to spare the life of Jephthah's daughter when he offered her as a burnt sacrifice to God for bringing him victory against his enemies: Judges 11:30 through 40:" 30 And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: “If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”32 Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands. 33 He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon. 34 When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break.”36 “My father,” she replied, “you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me just as you promised, now that the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites. 37 But grant me this one request,” she said. “Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends, because I will never marry.”38 “You may go,” he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. 39 After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite tradition 40 that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.” Here, God allowed and accepted this sacrifice of a child to be made to Him. This is Biblical fact. Why God would allow Jephthah to sacrifice his daughter, my mind cannot comprehend but only God knows and it is not for us to know. In another set of scriptures, the Israelites shed innocent blood. Why the Israelites would want to dash the heads of infants against the rocks to revenge their enemies (Babylonians) , I do not know but we read Psalm 137:8-9 as follows: Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Again, this is an example of the shedding of innocent blood that God allowed and did not condemn. We also know that God allowed the first born of all Israelites to die in the book of Exodus. So, I share these passages to say that I don’t know why babies die or God allows them to die; I don’t know why women miscarriage or babies are not born to full term; I don’t know why a young 10 year old girl was raped or babies will die with significant birth defects or die within hours of their birth (like recently in Louisiana). Only God knows; only God can convict a person with the Holy Spirit to make a particular decision. Everyone is not a Christian. Indeed, in other countries, some women were forced to have abortions (i.e. China). Surely, one cannot say that this is murder. The one thing I can be rest assured, is that all of these souls that are lost are in the presence of God just like Jepthah’s daughter.
@@mrs.t-wesq6465 you misinterpreted the scriptures.
@@carolynwilliams7414 tell me what you believe the scripture means. Thank you.
Thank you ! Pastor Jenkins , what a testimonial service ! How it is needed in today’s confusion in our country. Thank you for laying out scriptures from the The “Bible” on the word of “ God” . May “ God” continue to “bless” you and your ministry! Amen !
Awesome teaching.. Its something you'll never forget. But thank God for his Mercy and Grace!.
To deem an unborn child conceived in rape or incest a candidate for abortion is to judge the child itself as an abomination not the assault/violent act.
This was such a scriptural teaching. Our bodies are not our own. The life is in the blood. Sound teaching, praise God.
I am so thankful for the privilege of having heard the truth presented in such a warm and overwhelmingly scriptural way. God bless you for willing to speak the truth in love.
Awesome, I felt God's Presence throughout Pastor Jenkins' message.
HE knit me together in my mother's womb 😊 and said it was good
Abortion is such a hot button topic in the world and even in the church. I praise God for the way Pastor Jenkins broached this topic with loving kindness and compassionate wisdom, showing us the heart of God by walking us through the scriptures. I thank God for allowing my mother to give life to me. I thank God for my three children and my 13 grandchildren. What a blessing all of them are.
Great teaching.
I was just looking into this topic for I'm going to talk to someone about abortion.
It clarified many thoughts in my mind but most of all "the will of God".
God bless you pastor for the amazing word.
Teach Pastor, we need to hear the truth. Thank you for teaching the truth and not being afraid. As a listener said, your congregation are so blessed to have you! Let God continue to use you to set us free and know the truth. Abortion is a tough topic in America, but God🙌🏼
THANK YOU, Pastor Jenkins!!! Excellent sermon!!!!
Very timely even 3 years later.
What a wonderful Pastor. I wish his church was near me, I sure would love to sit under his teaching. These people are so blessed to have him! God Bless him and his family!
After all the comments recently on social media and the news, I was looking for a way to continue witnessing to those who are so against life!! ... or making a decision for life or death. Thank you so much for your sermon! Not many will preach this message!
Me too---Sometimes the YT algorithm does something good!
Also check out Allie Beth Stuckey's channel it has several helpful videos on the topic.
God has given us the his laws and commandments as to how we should live obey them and live disobey them and die.....
So refreshing to hear a pastor teach this truth because so many are not teaching it. Thank you, Pastor Jenkins.
I am watching this in 2022 - when the topic of abortion/same-sex marriage has taken a front seat to all of our lives. Pastor Jenkins Sr did an EXCELLENT job at laying this down from the Word of God line upon line. It was not his 'opinion' that came to the forefront on the issue, but it was, 'This is what the Word of God says and this is how God feels about it'. This has got to be every Believer's stance - no matter what...and I can assure you - the 'no matter whats' are going to come! *Choose ye this day Whom you will serve and truly serve Him'....
Amen

I've just got through 10 minutes of this message, and know this whole message is solid! Praise God for this man speaking biblical truth!
There is an answer and question at the end. I hope you didn't miss that.
Thank Pastor Jenkins for letting God use you to tell the truth based upon God's word!! I pray that God continue to bless, keep and strengthen you as you boldly teach his word!!!
I thank and praise God for this powerful teaching of His Word. It blessed my soul to hear the truth being taught in such a way that a child can understand and without confusion. May God bless you Pastor Jenkins for standing on God's Word.
One of the Best Preachings on Abortion I've heard in years!!! I had to subscribe to this pastor. As a minister; myself, this pastor has definitely help me to be more of a Spiritual Voice for the Unborn! #LifeBeginsInTheWomb
Pastor Jenkins, fantastic teacher. I commend you for being honest and using God’s word to teach and opening up the floor for honest questions in order to teach your congregation earnestly and faithfully. God bless you.
When the Doctor tells a Woman she is pregnant ! There is Life there !!!!
What an GREAT message. God is still in control.
I want to like this video a thousand times ❤. Thank you pastor for preaching the WORD. I love that you back up everything with scripture.
I found this message to be enlightening. The Pastor broke it down into clear, concise language concerning the "Abortion issue" plaguing this country and countries of the world. I fully agree with all that he said. And, it also my prayer that all would lock this message in their hearts for all life is precious to God our Creator.
Noooooo mam, all life is NOT precious to "god". How many babies did "god" murder in the bible???? Who was asked to sacrifice his son??? Oooh, but nobody wants to think about that. 🤔
Life begins at conception.💯💥💫
praise God ❤️
Sounds like life begins b4 Conception, in this message! Something, to think about😅

i JUST DISCOVERED THIS WONDERFUL CHURCH AND PASTOR. The talk on abortion should be shared with all. God bless you all in the holy and precious name of Jesus.
Awesome biblically based teaching and administered with grace. Thank you Pastor Jenkins!
I respectfully disagree with the sermon.

What a gift we are to God. What a blessing to have this outline taught of what God has to say. I pray for those who will act like this was a forced teaching when clearly it wasn't. We minister to others because we know God has been good to us, hope that others will hear our testimony, and forma relationship with God so they can depart from sins that impact them and others too.

THANK YOU, PASTOR JENKINS! Thank you for being courageous! God bless you, man of God. May God’s grace abound towards you.
Thank you Pastor Jenkins for speaking up about abortion 👏. Powerful testimony of the woman who is a product of rape and how GOD is greater still 🙌

Jenkins is a false prophet.
Bless you Pastor Jenkins for your obedience in delivering this powerful word. This is a word that comes with much warfare from the realm of darkness. It is my prayer that more Pastors (Shepherds) would teach their members (sheep) the truth in God's holy word about such a controversial issue.
Men who run away from responsibilities are to be condemned when getting a woman pregnant. Woman is not solely to blame because it takes two.
Thank you for being a servant of God. Jesus Christ has put you in this place and time to prepare for the harvest. You have equipped me to witness in love and truth on abortion and other struggles people face today.
As a child of God I and all of us are Sinners and fall short of Gods Glory but with Repentance Obedience Submitting Acceptance Redemption Belief Great Faith the Lord will forgive us. Personal testimony when I was in my twenties I decided to have an abortion. It weighed heavy on my heart throughout the years after getting married I conceived two beautiful boys and they were and are the most joyful blessing in my life. They are both adults now and I wouldn't trade being there mother for Nothing in the World. I am so thankful for the Lords Mercy and Grace towards me and my sons he is a loving God who's always Worthy To Be Praised 🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗
The first sermon I've ever heard on abortion. Thank You.
Truly : we need to be told the truth because souls will be save from hell.
God bless you sir !!!
Tunmibi Toluwani thanks for your comment! I was thinking about the lady talking about a child being raped and getting pregnant and my mind was thinking the child was conceived of evil or evildoing. So would the child be evil? People who rape children are evil and possessed i think? Your comment made me remember that Jesus save anyone! And will bring all the innocent souls from hell and restore them in the glory of Gods presence! Thank you for your comment. Im not saying that we should abort children from these few circumstances but I was perplexed thinking about this! I love this church. And this congregation! Im soo happy God led me to this pastor and his delivery of the word.
Amen
@Tunmibi- Amen!
my comment is motivated by my experience : most people do not understand the guilt that comes with abortion , I had aborted before and my husband was aware of it and he paid for it but I paid very dearly for it ...i shed innocent blood and the blood was on my head for years until one day , after i listened to a message of deliver ance and prayer , God opened my eyes in the realm of the spirit how a blood clot was dropped off my head and prior to that I saw myself been held with chain but the chain got broken when I told my children I had shed an innocent blood during bible discussion .....one has to pray for mercy and be convince the blood is wash off you by the blood of Jesus..
It's by the grace of God he were saved not by our works.
I received mercy after all ....
Be bless in Jesus name.
God bless that lady for coming out to say , she was a result of rape..
people like to hide their mistakes.
Sharing an experience do save lives !!
I will not advise anyone go that path.
Thank you man of God for standing up for truth!
People need awareness even outside church so that they may not fall in the devil's traps.

I disagree with the message. I want to focus on a couple of specific points made by Pastor Jenkins. It is Pastor Jenkins opinion and his interpretation of the verses that he read in the Bible that life begins when there blood flowing. None of the verses that he cited were meant to address the issue of when does human life begin, particularly in connection with the concept of abortion. I find it interesting that the majority of the scripture cited by Pastor Jenkins was found in the Old Testament. There was only one scripture that I recall in the New Testament. The fact that the Old Testament was cited means that the scripture was directed to the Israelites and includes Mosaic/Jewish law. Research for yourself, but there is nothing in the Jewish Law or customs that suggest that life begins with the flowing of blood. Therefore, to suggest that any scripture in the Old Testament supports the position that life begins where there is blood flowing is misleading and false. Indeed, the Talmad (Jewish scripture) does not give full status of humanness to a child until birth. The Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: “the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day.” Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born. In the Torah (the Old Testament-first five books of the Bible), the first detailed description of the creation of a human being by God points to the moment when human life begins. “Yahweh God formed the man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living nefesh” (the first breath). In other words, life began for human being when God breathed breath into him (Genesis 2.7). Additional scriptures in the Torah demonstrate that breath is understood to be essential to life; and that when the breathing stops, life ends. “And all flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds, cattle, wild animals all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth and all human beings. Everything which had the nishmat (breath) of life in its nostrils, all that were on dry land died” (Genesis 7.21-22). According to Jewish scripture, the fetus is regarded as a part of the mother's body and not as a separate being until it begins to egress from the womb during the birthing process, and attains the status of 'nefesh,' which means soul in Hebrew. In other words, under Jewish law and their scripture (which includes the Old Testament), the fetus only becomes a person after most of its body emerges from the birth canal. The Jeramiah 1 verse has nothing to do with the issue of when does a fetus become a human being; as Pastor Jenkins correctly pointed out, God was speaking directly to Jeremiah. It’s improper to reference that scripture for the subject of abortion. Bottom line, Pastor Jenkins cannot say that God says life begins with the flowing of blood….that is simply a false interpretation of scripture.
The second point I’d like to address is Pastor Jenkins statement that abortion is wrong because it is the shedding of innocent blood. I found it very telling that Pastor Jenkins did not answer the question on the death penalty when raised by the member of the congregation. It was directly relevant to the sermon just as the issue of War and other instances in which lives are lost. With respect to the issue of innocent blood, God tested Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his son, Isaac on Moriah. We know that Abraham begins to comply with this order from God when a messenger from God intervenes and substitutes a ram in place. Yet God did not send a messenger to spare the life of Jephthah's daughter when he offered her as a burnt sacrifice to God for bringing him victory against his enemies: Judges 11:30 through 40:" 30 And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: “If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”32 Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands. 33 He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon. 34 When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break.”36 “My father,” she replied, “you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me just as you promised, now that the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites. 37 But grant me this one request,” she said. “Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends, because I will never marry.”38 “You may go,” he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. 39 After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite tradition 40 that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.” Here, God allowed and accepted this sacrifice of a child to be made to Him. This is Biblical fact. Why God would allow Jephthah to sacrifice his daughter, my mind cannot comprehend but only God knows and it is not for us to know. In another set of scriptures, the Israelites shed innocent blood. Why the Israelites would want to dash the heads of infants against the rocks to revenge their enemies (Babylonians) , I do not know but we read Psalm 137:8-9 as follows: Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Again, this is an example of the shedding of innocent blood that God allowed and did not condemn. We also know that God allowed the first born of all Israelites to die in the book of Exodus. So, I share these passages to say that I don’t know why babies die or God allows them to die; I don’t know why women miscarriage or babies are not born to full term; I don’t know why a young 10 year old girl was raped or babies will die with significant birth defects or die within hours of their birth (like recently in Louisiana). Only God knows; only God can convict a person with the Holy Spirit to make a particular decision. Everyone is not a Christian. Indeed, in other countries, some women were forced to have abortions (i.e. China). Surely, one cannot say that this is murder. The one thing I can be rest assured, is that all of these souls that are lost are in the presence of God just like Jepthah’s daughter.
