Hope For Abortion's Second Victim
On January 23, 1973 the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion on demand. Since that decision, there have been well over 1.5 million abortions performed each year in the United States according to the statistics that have been gathered from the Center for Disease Control out of Atlanta, Georgia. Current statistics tell us that forty five million innocent babies have lost their lives.
Forty five million abortions account only for the lives of the children. It does not account for the millions who still live in the torment of their sin. Those individuals are commonly referred to as "Abortion's Second Victim," or "The Walking Wounded." We believe that there is only one answer for these individuals. That answer is found in Jesus Christ.
In the book of Isaiah the Spirit of God speaks of the exaltation of the afflicted. The Scripture Says:
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and freedom to prisoners; to proclaim the favorable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations."
Isaiah 61:1-4
The Scripture quoted above is truly a mission statement for Healing Hearts Ministries. Many of us searched high and low for solutions to our pain and torment but inevitably we found that apart from Jesus and the Word of God, there is no healing or peace. It is for that reason that God called us to "bring good news to the afflicted...and to bind up the brokenhearted"
