Miracle
on 21st
Street
And there’s no
baloney…
Midnight
abortions (Hope mill opens 1 PM to Midnight 1 day per week) were
underway, where 2nd and 3rd trimester babies will be torn limb from limb
in their mother’s wombs by the death-merchants at the Hope (less)
Clinic for misguided women.
As we parked the
Small Victories pregnancy van in front of these gates at 1620 21st
street in Granite City, IL, Brother John rushed over to us and began
unraveling this story of a miracle involving a baloney sandwich. I
questioned, "What are you talking about?" He explained that he
and another man had just walked an abortion-minded mother with her male
friend over to Dr. Mark’s obstetrical practice office, just down from
this mill, and that a craving for a baloney sandwich, saved this
baby’s life, at least for the moment. Was it a craving? Could it have
been the voice of God?
Li "Sindy"
came all the way from Chinatown, NY to "get rid of her baby".
She and her male friend stopped for directions off Route 3 and a man on
his lunch break also stopped for a baloney sandwich.
Normally this man
would have nothing to do with baloney but for some reason he began
craving it as he drove along the highway. He pulled into this
convenience store and this saint overheard the couple asking directions
to Hope clinic and being a Christian and pro-life he immediately thought
of Angela and the Small Victories van, since he listens to the radio
program. The Holy Spirit filled him with boldness. "I’ve never
done anything like this before in my life,” he thought, "but it
just might work". So he offered to guide them to the Hope clinic
and he prayed the whole way that saints would be there to intercede and
that Angela would be standing outside with the ultrasound machine. He
stopped a block short of the abortion mill and explained the situation
to Brother John.
This
is truly a spiritual battle. The devil never sleeps; he’s up 24x7. The
battle was raging over the life of this little baby. I asked Brother
John to set up the ultrasound machine with Savanah and I would be right
back with this girl. I walked into Dr. Mark’s office only to hear a
woman telling this girl to go into the Hope abortion Clinic and that
they would counsel her there.

I prayed for
God’s wisdom and guidance. As this couple was leaving the office I met
them at the door and introduced myself and said I would help them. They
accompanied me to the ultrasound van and I asked them inside and once
inside began counseling them. I offered to let this mother hear her
baby’s heartbeat. I asked her why she felt she needed to get rid of
the baby. She felt as though her mother would be disappointed in her.
That was one of the reasons she came all the way from New York and she
didn’t want her mother to know She also said, "In New York they
wouldn’t kill my baby over 4 months."
We picked up the
baby’s heartbeats immediately; they were good and strong, 130 beats
per minute. She began crying "Oh no." I said, "Yes, this
is good that’s your baby." Then I placed the ultrasound probe on
her swollen tummy and pointed to the ultrasound screen, "Look
there’s your baby. Very big baby"
. I said, "Sindy,
how far along are you." She wasn’t sure. I began measuring and
said, "Sindy, it’s very dangerous at this stage to kill your
baby. Your baby is big. Many women have suffered complications with
babies this big. You see, the abortionist will rip the arms and legs off
of this baby. Their little bones splinter and they become very sharp and
dangerous and can cut and tear your uterus as the abortionist pulls
parts of this baby out of your womb and you can bleed to death. There
are many lawsuits of negligence and malpractice against this abortion
clinic." She asked me if women have died and I replied," Yes,
some women have died at this abortion mill and many have suffered gross
negligence and complications."
She
confessed she had taken drugs one time during the pregnancy, I reassured
her that the placenta has a marvelous purpose in protecting the baby,
and that I wasn’t advocating drug usage during pregnancy. I said,
"Sindy", would you feel better if we got all this checked
out?’ She shook her head yes. "Then let’s go see Dr. Mark and
he can further evaluate you and the baby." Just then the cell phone
of her male friend rang, It was the father of the baby and he was asking
questions. We continued to look at the ultrasound screen and then I
asked Sindy, "Would you like to know what sex the baby is?"
"You can tell, she asked. Yes, "it’s a boy!" The male
friend told the caller and you could hear him shouting "Don’t
kill it!" I asked Sindy, "How does the father of the baby
feel?" She replied, "He wants me to keep the baby, not
kill."

Then
we visualized the baby sucking his thumb. "Oh…" I cleaned
the ultrasound jelly off her belly and we walked back over to Dr.
Mark’s office where he and his staff were waiting to help this mother,
and Dr. Mark reassured her that she made the right choice and prayed
with us. After sometime at the office, Dr. Mark confirmed a healthy, 21
week presumably a baby boy. "Sindy" was elated. We returned to
the gates of Hope (less) abortuary and snapped a picture and hugged with
the promise to follow -up with transportation for "Sindy" to
get to her Doctor’s appointments. She and her friend thanked us for
being there.

Later that night,
Bro. John phoned the man whose heart listened to the Lord’s calling,
and gave him the update on this baby that was scheduled to die. He and
his wife were sitting by the phone, waiting, hopefully, to hear some
good news. Can you imagine how many more babies just like this one,
could be saved if the Church of Jesus Christ would be quiet and just
listen to God’s voice, and obey Him? By the way, this man never did
get his baloney sandwich. They were out of baloney! He had to settle for
a ham and cheese sandwich.
The moral: We
need to listen to God and be obedient, not successful. God wants our
obedience, not sacrifices. Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know
that I am God." Acts 5:29 ‘We must obey God rather than
men!"
