So many have aborted portions of their destiny — not just naturally, but spiritually. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of what others will say — all of it has caused many to terminate what God was trying to birth through them. Even in the embryonic stage of relationships, ministries, and assignments, the enemy rushes in with his instruments of doubt and confusion, trying to cut away the promise before it breathes its first breath.
I know this warfare intimately. At seventeen, I endured a natural abortion — but years later I realized the deeper lesson: the enemy’s goal wasn’t just to take a child; it was to silence a voice that would one day carry healing for others. Since then, I’ve come to see that spiritual abortions happen every day. Many have been carrying dreams from God, visions conceived in faith, but somewhere between conception and manifestation, fear spoke louder than faith.
Earlier this year, I came across a prophetic word from Nate Johnston (May 5, 2025) that struck me to my core. It was a divine confirmation of the warfare many of us have faced — that sudden wave of discouragement, that pressure to give up, those voices whispering, “You must have heard wrong.”
He wrote, “Sounds textbook for what the enemy does in a birthing season.”
That line pierced me. Because it’s true — when you’re on the brink of birthing something new, the enemy intensifies the attack. He can’t kill what God has placed inside of you, but he will send distractions, fear, mockery, and fatigue to make you abort it yourself.
Nate shared how God is birthing “unusual ministries and movements” that don’t fit the traditional mold — and how many are being labeled rebellious simply because they don’t look like the old system. That resonated deeply. Because I, too, have been misunderstood for stepping out in faith, for doing what God told me to do when others said it didn’t look legitimate. But obedience often looks like rebellion to those who’ve never walked by faith.
He said something else that burned in my spirit: “God gives you the seed, not the whole blueprint.”
That’s the place many of us find ourselves in — walking with only a word, not a map. But that’s how faith grows. If God gave us the full picture, we’d run ahead of Him or invite the wrong people into the birthing room. Some things must remain hidden until it’s time to deliver.
Nate described a dream where the Lord said, “In the birthing season, you must protect what you’re carrying.”
That’s been the warning in my own spirit — to guard the womb of purpose. Not everyone can be allowed in the room when God is bringing something forth. The enemy sends “spies” disguised as concerned voices, people who may mean well but carry seeds of doubt and control. They come to talk you out of what God has called you to carry.
But this is not the time to compromise. This is not the season to dilute the assignment to make it more palatable or “church-friendly.” The Lord is saying, “Do not take the abortion pill.”
Don’t trade your authenticity for acceptance. Don’t water down your message to fit someone else’s mold. Protect the promise. Guard the vision. What God placed in you is pure, holy, and powerful — and it doesn’t have to look like anything that came before it.
You’re not rebellious; you’re pregnant with a movement. So shut the door, silence the noise, and fix your eyes on the One who authored the seed within you.
It’s time to bring it forth.
