How Can This Be?
|

A better question is how can I sleep........ how can I function daily........... how can I live another minute knowing this is going on....... and do nothing to help?
At the end of the podcast Brian left a gruesome image of a slave chained to a bed........... well it's time community, to understand that everyone of us have been chained to our sin at some point in our lives. Some of us still are.
We know who has the "key" to our freedom and we also know who can help these innocent people to be removed from their bondage. Of course I am speaking of our Master Jesus Christ..... but I am also speaking of each and everyone of us.
I will only speak for myself here....but if the shoe fits, wear it. I am full......God has empowered me to live a lifestyle that, in years past, I could only dream of. Now the chains of sin that I used to wear seem like the dream.
The reality of the October Monthly Talk is this is not a dream. It is really happening all around the world and it's time that Christians quit sharpening their weapons..... or worse yet.... quit using them on each other and "step up to the plate." I am at a fork in the road were I can lay down fat and sassy, fading off into the sunset........ or I can run "headlong" in to battle.
Anointed Christian Traveling Services (ACTS) is armed and ready to go to war concerning the October monthly talk. In fact, I'm getting MY "bat" out and I'm begining to weal it around in the form giving to this cause.
I do NOT want to enter heaven having to explain how I needed a new guitar or amp or microphone and so was unable to help this woman or child out of sexual slavery.
Our brother Brian, shares his heart with us everyday. I have been a Christian for over 30 years and I have never "met" anyone with such a transparent heart and I can hear in his voice how tough it was to ask for funding for this cause. That alone should reveal the height of this emergency.
Our ministry is focused on the mission field and we make as many trips as time allows, But all of a sudden (actually it's been brewing in me for quite some time) THIS MISSION IS OUR NEXT MISSION. I don't know the numbers......but I know there are a lot of people...... Christians...... that are part of this community. I believe it would take a very short time to make a difference in Human Trafficking if each one of us began contributing to this cause.
My prayers are with Brian and Jill as they travel and as they lead this community on to battle in the Power of the Name of Jesus. Father, I pray a special anointing on my brother and sister as you continue to guide them and this community.
Lord, you came to this earth with your BURDEN REMOVING, YOLK DESTROYING POWER (anointing). These people that have been taken slaves in this modern society need removed from their burden and they must have the yolk of bondage destroyed in their lives. I pray your anointing goes there now and prepares lives to be changed. I also pray Lord that your anointing rises up big on this end..... sending people to set the captives free. I pray all this in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen

Ok, after praying about this cause for a couple weeks I am replying to my original lengthy post.
As a community, PLEASE post one of three ways:
1. I will commit to praying for the people that are caught in human trafficking
2. I will commit to sending funding to help stop human trafficking
3. I will commit to pray AND send funding to help stop human trafficking.
This is a poll. Please reply what God has put on your heart concerning getting involved in fighting these horific activities.
We love you all, thanks Brian (and team)

Wow. I'm in the middle of listening to this Traffic talk. This is so sobering. What a terrible tragedy happening. I can't even put words to how dumbfounded I feel. I didn't even realize it was that bad. Wow. I don't even care how much or little coffee comes in that package anymore. This must be stopped!
