Yes! A GOD thing!
It’s been hard to pray for Obama - I must start up again. God is GREAT!
She probably meant the Holy Spirit convicted her of the sin. It’s common Christian phraseology.
Perhaps she really believes there IS power in prayer!
Her personal journey on the road to Damascus. Saul, why persecutest thou me?

AMEN!!!
This is wonderful news! God Bless Her!
If she is still an Episcopalian, she still has a ways to go. But God bless her journey! May the Holy Spirit continue to use her as a witness!
Planned Parenthood Genocide...
Glad I went downthread. I was about ready to ping you.
Blessings to this lady.
If it is true goodon her and welcome back to the real world
“conviction” is a relatively common term in the church. It refers to something which the person doesn’t do or stops doing, under the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Think she meant *conflicted* - but a murder conviction could have been on her mind. Abortion is murder.
Nope - she said it exactly right. God does not give us a spirit of condemnation - the devil does that. However, God (actually the Holy Spirit) does give us a spirit of conviction - telling us we’re doing wrong, and need to change our ways. She IS convicted, by the Spirit, for her wrong doing. She’s apparently repented (to turn from those ways) and is actively working to make amends.
This is exactly how we are called to live - sin (All have fallen short), repent (turn from those ways) and work to help others turn from sin.
Praise God!
If you ever get the chance to speak with someone who works at an abortion clinic, be very, very kind to them. A large percentage of them were abused physically, emotionally, or sexually as children.
Talk with them, but not about abortion in the beginning. Bring them foods they enjoy. Learn about them. Offer to pray with them.
I'm not saying to stop the marches and rallies. All I'm saying is, when you are one-on-one with an abortion worker, love them with God's love. Meet them where they just as God met us where we were. Our sins were no less offensive to God than the sins of an abortion worker.
Write a book Abby Johnson.
the Holy Spirit touched her heart.
I am crying. God is so good!
What an amazing testimony this woman is! All glory to Him! Hallelujah!
May God richly bless Abby in all she does for Him.
Thank you for that reminder. You are right. I have to remind myself daily—OK moment by moment—to love like Jesus. It surely isn’t easy.
