Massive oil field discovered under the Dakota's, maybe God is about to bless those who bless babies

Last month when I traveled the state, a gave a handout to pastors in South Dakota addressing the top ten reasons a South Dakota pastor might not support the current abortion legislation. On that list of ten is the fear that the good people in our churches will have to pay more taxes as our state fights this to the Supreme Court level. It's a financial fear, the economy is already unsettled - we already pay enough in taxes - we don't like money going to lawyers… you can understand the sentiments.

Always pay careful attention to how closely Molech (the ancient demonic spirit behind child sacrifice/abortion) and Mammon (the ancient demonic spirit that attaches itself to money) work together. The number one stated reason women seek abortions is because they "can't afford" another child. Churches are intimated to speak against abortion with fears of losing their sacred non-profit status. And good people in the electorate cower from fighting abortion because we "can't afford" to fight this in court. If we really cared about not spending tax money on the abortion issue, we'd write our legislators to encourage them to shut down the 300 million US tax dollars Planned Parenthood presently gets annually.

The Bible is clear, the shedding of innocent blood puts a curse on the land. Dealing with the bloodshed/bloodguilt issue releases God's favor on a land. Favor isn't just God's smile, it includes prosperity and blessing. When we deal with this matter of the shedding of innocent blood, the result will be the release of God's blessing and financial favor on our nation. Or, we can continue to eek out a living under a curse all because we don't want to pay some legal fees.

I see God wanting and willing to bless this nation. That a massive 200 billion barrel oil field is found under the Dakota's tells me God is poised and ready to prosper us. Experts expect this will be one of the greatest booms in oil discovery since oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938. Am I alone in believing God is preparing to release us from dependance on Babylonian nations?

North Dakota rancher John Warberg said, “It seems like God flew over this country, and a dart landed on Granddad’s homestead.” According to the NY Times, Warberg is being paid royalties for the new oil well on the land where his grandfather’s crumbling, nearly century-old homestead shack stands.

In 2004, in the auditorium of Riggs High School in Pierre, Chuck Pierce prophesied that this day would come - that riches and resources would come forth from this land - land the rest of the world writes off as “wasteland.” The Bible says “you will be called Sought After.” Somebody just preached a message by that title (South Dakota: Sought After)… hmm…. Maybe God is preparing to bless those who bless babies.

Last summer I went to Ghana with a team from Church at the Gate. Ghana was celebrating the fact that they just discovered oil. Actually, the discovery of oil came within six months of the President of Ghana dedicating the nation of Ghana to the Lord. I have pictures of banners that hung all over the nation calling the nation to “a national day of prayer and thanksgiving for the discovery of oil within six months of dedicating our nation to God.” That’s what the banners say!

I believe God is willing and wanting to bless us, and is readying to do so. The blessing however is continugent on us dealing with the shedding of innocent blood and the nation turning back to Him. Just like in Scripture, when the people of God don’t do this, he enslaves them to pagan nations who make their lives miserable. According to Ezekiel 35:6, the economic woes and terrorism will forever haunt nations that tolerate the shedding of innocent blood.
