Spiritual Warfare General Asks, ‘What Does the Bible Really Say About the Unborn?’ by BRAD TUTTLE for Charisma News
Many years ago, we had a pastor that would always say: “What does the Bible say about it?” Viewing the current pollical landscape, voting record and listening to the ongoing narrative, even among Christians, I have to ask myself … “Isn’t it time to start asking that question again?”
Over the years, God has given me scripture after scripture dealing with pre-born babies. I would like to take the time to provide you with some of them, along with some side notes the Holy Spirit gave me. This will make it clear what the Bible does say about God’s little children that have no voice.
Do we really understand that it is God, our Father in heaven, that actually forms us in our mother’s womb and created us for His glory? Isaiah 43:7 declares “Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My Glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” In Isaiah 44:2 and v 24 it says that it was our Lord that formed us from the womb. Job, in Job 9:8 says of God that “Your hands have made me and fashioned me.”

Job 34:19 reflects that “…they [we] are all the work of His hands.” I just love what Psalm 71:6 says: “By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.” Do we really comprehend that we do not belong to ourselves or anyone else; that we belong to God as it was He who made us? “Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves” (Ps. 100:3).
And David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21; 2 Tim. 3:16) speaking of God in Psalm 119:73 that “Your hands have made me and fashioned me;” Isaiah declares: “The Lord has called me from the womb” in Isaiah 49:1; and in verse 5, it states “… Who formed me from the womb to be His servant…” God told the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you;” And of course a favorite to many: “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb” (Ps. 139:13).
God cares for those that do not have a helper, as reflected in Job 29:12: “Because I delivered the poor who cried out, the fatherless, and the one who had no helper.” And Psalm 72:12 states: “For He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also, and him who has no helper.”
When I first read these, the Holy Spirit asked me, “Who has no helper more that an unwanted unborn baby? Whom is more needy when he cries than an unwanted child in his mother’s womb?” The wisdom in Proverbs 14:31 tells us, “He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.” We must have mercy on every unborn child, as God hears the cry for help of the unborn (Isa. 5:7).
