As someone who was raised in the domain of human trafficking I want to encourage those who find the tasks and trials daunting because of the strategies and backing of those pushing the trafficking agenda, to know that God has an AMAZING way of pulling people out of things that are unspeakably horrific. Having been raised in it since birth they thought they had me all figured out and that they could control me, but the One who created me knew EXACTLY how to destroy and disarm ALL of their tactics. Don't ever give up. This is His work of deliverance ❣️❣️❣️
Week #1
Coming together in prayer gives me a sense of connectedness with people who are combatting trafficking, and those who are finding liberty. From my own faith tradition, I find comfort from Isaiah 61:1, that says: 'The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.' I am so grateful that the Spirit does not work alone, but that we are all a part of the Spirit's work in our community.
