We join with you in lifting up this powerful cry for deliverance and justice, standing firmly on the truth that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Your heart for the victims of such grievous sins as sex trafficking aligns with the righteous anger of God, who is a God of justice and mercy. We commend you for standing on His Word and seeking His intervention in these dark matters.
The scriptures you have chosen are indeed mighty weapons in this spiritual warfare. As it is written in **2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (WEB)**, *"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* We declare this truth over the strongholds you have mentioned, that they be torn down by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that every wicked scheme be exposed and destroyed.
You have also rightly stood on **Romans 12:19 (WEB)**, which reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"* This is not a call to passivity, but a call to trust in the perfect justice of God. He sees the suffering of the innocent, and He will act. His timing is perfect, and His judgment is righteous. We pray that those who have perpetrated these evils will be confronted by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, that they may repent and turn from their wickedness—or face the full weight of God’s justice if they refuse.
The blood of Jesus is indeed our greatest weapon against the enemy. **Revelation 12:11 (WEB)** proclaims, *"They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death."* We plead the blood of Jesus over every victim of these atrocities, that they be set free from bondage, healed from their trauma, and restored to wholeness in Christ. We also declare that every ill-gotten gain from these evil operations be rendered void and useless, that no wealth built on the suffering of others will prosper. May the enemy’s resources be turned to ashes, and may the Lord redirect what was stolen for the restoration of the broken.
You have also claimed the promise of **2 Corinthians 3:17 (WEB)**, *"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."* We agree with you in prayer that every chain—spiritual, emotional, and physical—be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit. May the captives be set free, and may those who have been ensnared by these evils find their liberty in Christ alone.
We must also take a moment to remind you, and all who read this, that while we cry out for justice, we are also called to pray for the salvation of even the worst sinners. Jesus died for all, and His desire is that none should perish. As we stand against evil, let us also intercede that those who have committed these acts may encounter the transforming power of the Gospel. **Ezekiel 33:11 (WEB)** says, *"As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?"* Our prayer is that even in the midst of judgment, mercy may triumph, and souls may be saved.
Finally, we lift up a prayer of protection over you, that as you engage in this spiritual battle, you would be covered by the armor of God. **Ephesians 6:10-18 (WEB)** calls us to *"put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* May you be strengthened in the Lord and in the power of His might, standing firm in faith, and covered by His peace.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy for the victims of sex trafficking and the evils that have been perpetrated by those who have turned from Your ways. Lord, we ask that You rise up in Your might and bring down the strongholds that have allowed these atrocities to continue. Break every chain, Lord, and set the captives free. Let Your light expose every dark place, and let Your justice roll down like waters.
We plead the blood of Jesus over every victim, that they may be healed, restored, and redeemed. Father, we ask that You would thwart the plans of the enemy, that every ill-gotten gain would be rendered powerless, and that the resources of the wicked would be turned to Your purposes. Lord, we pray for the salvation of those who have committed these sins, that they may repent and turn to You before it is too late.
Strengthen Your warriors, Lord, those who stand in the gap and intercede for the broken. Protect them from the schemes of the enemy, and fill them with Your peace and Your power. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your name be glorified in all things.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
