Sex Trafficking

Sex trafficking is a business that is far more lucrative than drugs or arms because the children involved are considered re-usable assets - Vanguard Global Center For Women and Justice.

God save  our girls and boys from the depravity of sex trafficking - According to an article in the Washington Times, "Sex trafficking in the US has become an epidemic".  Many are of the opinion that sex trafficking only occurs in other countries, but sad to say it is a profitable and thriving business in the US.  Here are some facts:  According to CRS, ( Catholic Relief Services),"


At least 12.3 million people are trafficked worldwide.

More than 1 million children are victims of trafficking.
People are trafficked in 161 countries, including the United States.
Human trafficking is a $32 billion industry worldwide.
On average, only 1 person is convicted for every 800 trafficking cases worldwide".

It is hard to imagine young girls being sold, held captive and forced to work as sex slaves. Young girls are brutally raped, robbed of  innocence and childhood, stripped of all human dignity.  They are forced to service as many as 20 to 30 men a day and perform  malicious sexual acts.  This must be stopped! I believe it's time for people of faith in Christ to petition heaven on behalf of the many women and children all over the world who are being sex trafficked. Is there anything too hard for God?  I believe in prayer. I believe prayer changes things.  For some this may seem foolish, but I challenge you to pray; to dare to believe God to do the impossible. The bible says, " For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, 2 Corinthians 10:4".  I am ready, how about you? Charisma Magazine featured an article on Joel Osteen and his congregation supporting H.R. 2505, the End Sex Trafficking act of 2013.  He is to be commended, but it can't end there.


 How do we restore the survivor of human trafficking?  How do we restore the future, hope and dreams of young woman ravaged by sex trafficking.  One way is by supporting organizations who provide shelter and counseling to victims of sex trafficking. A place where they are protected, cared for and given a chance to have a happy life.


 Its time to save our daughters, our sons...all children who are victims of sex trafficking.



 2 Chronicles 7:14, " If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will their land".

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time to take a long hard look in the mir

Is MakeUp Deceptive?

 Is there something deceptive about makeup? I believe it is a topic worth exploring. My interest in this topic awakened after receiving a makeup kit which a family member ordered for me online.  When the item arrived the name on the kit gave me an uneasy feeling because I understood the meaning of the name.  Dismissing the feeling I went ahead and used the makeup I had anxiously waited for. But the Lord brought it to my remembrance again and this time I could not ignore.    The Beauty Industry in the US, which includes hair care and skincare, is a 445 billion market (Forbes, May 2017). The US has the largest cosmetic market in the world. It was expected in 2016 to exceed 62 billion in revenue and is expected to maintain positive growth through 2018, (Market Research.com 2016) In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates cosmetics, defines cosmetics as “intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or
