The NAME…recently I was in a meeting, the topic was “trafficking, human slavery…the selling of human beings for sex – women, little girls as young as five years old…across our borders, our nation…” I could feel the darkness of this evil begin to enter the room, as graphic images were shown of victims…sensing this darkness even as we were discussing justice and mercy…hope for the victims.

These are somebody’s daughters…born for such a time.  Now…their Father in Heaven is coming to rescue them…

This is a deep evil bound in the humanity and sin of mankind…pornography, greed, hatred, anger, sexual immorality… Again…the enemy is trying to thwart and destroy the destiny of a chosen generation of daughters…and sons…chosen to prepare the way of the return of our King.

With a whisper…for all it takes is a breath of His Name… I said “Jesus…Jesus…Jesus…” I could feel the darkness leave the room and the Light of His Hope and Justice shine bright! Jesus…Hope setting every captive free… (Isaiah 61)

We do not battle against flesh and blood, We battle, through prayer (and action)…against spiritual wickedness… (For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)

Even as we take the Light, Truth, and Love of Jesus into the darkness…in these last days…we must be fully equipped with a cleansed & healed heart, covered by the Armor of God and the Blood of Jesus…motivated by His Perfect Love which casts out fear…following Jesus into the places He will lead. His Love, His Mercy, His Heart…His Eyes…to the people group of “the broken”….

To see with His beautiful Eyes the true destiny of the broken…so that we may follow Him into the places where the bound are crying out for freedom…and the hopeless are crying out for hope…the lifeless in soul and the spiritually dead are calling out for life…

For such were some of us… (“Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” – I Corinthians 6:11…written through Paul who was responsible for the killing of many Christians…forgiven, healed, given new eyes, new heart…filled with the passionate power and love of Jesus…)

Jesus is coming with Justice for the oppressor, Mercy for the oppressed…and in these last days coming for the broken held captive in the dark places…

HOPE…there is Power in His Name: “so that at the Name of JESUS EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth…” Phil 2:10

Dear God…please send Your Mighty Angels…Your Power to break every chain, open every cage, every prison door of the oppressed…Your Power that protects law enforcement and Your workers of freedom…Your Power that drops the oppressor to their knees and sets every captive free…
