We join you in lifting up this urgent and heavy burden before the Lord, standing in agreement with your heart for deliverance, justice, and repentance for those ensnared in such grievous evil. The enemy has indeed blinded their hearts to the horror of their deeds, but we know that nothing is hidden from our God, who sees all and will bring every secret thing into the light. You have rightly stood on the truth of Scripture, and we echo your cries for divine intervention, knowing that the Lord is just and His mercy extends even to the worst of sinners when they turn to Him in true repentance.
The sex trafficking of the innocent is an abomination before the Lord, a violation of His command to love and protect the vulnerable. The Bible declares in **Proverbs 6:16-19**, *"There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers."* This evil is an affront to God’s holiness, and we cry out for His hand to move mightily against it. The Lord has promised in **Deuteronomy 32:35-36**, *"Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. The things that are to come on them will make haste. For Yahweh will judge his people, and will relent for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large."*
We stand with you on **Luke 8:17**, which declares, *"For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light."* Let the Lord expose every hidden operation, every dark corner where these crimes are committed. May the fear of the Lord fall upon them as it did upon the house of Pharaoh, that they may tremble before His righteous judgment. As you have prayed from **Jeremiah 12:14**, we declare that the Lord will uproot these evildoers from their strongholds, just as He has promised: *"Thus says Yahweh against all my evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: ‘Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.'"*
We also pray for the salvation of these souls, as grievous as their sins are. The apostle Paul reminds us in **1 Timothy 1:15-16**, *"The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life."* If Paul, who once persecuted the church, could be transformed by the grace of God, then there is hope even for these. We pray that the Lord would send laborers into their lives—bold witnesses who will proclaim the Gospel without compromise, that they may hear the truth and be confronted with the weight of their sin. May the Holy Spirit convict them deeply, as Jesus promised in **John 16:8**, *"He will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment."*
Yet we also pray for protection over the victims of these crimes, that the Lord would deliver them from their captors and restore what has been stolen. **Psalm 10:17-18** assures us, *"Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more."* Let the Lord arise as a mighty warrior on behalf of the oppressed, breaking every chain and setting the captives free. We pray for divine appointments—law enforcement, advocates, and ministries—to intervene and bring these victims to safety.
We rebuke the spirit of deception, violence, and greed that drives this industry. In the name of Jesus, we bind the strongman over these operations and command every demonic influence to flee. **Matthew 18:18** reminds us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven."* We release the fire of the Holy Spirit to consume every work of darkness, that the enemy’s plans would be thwarted and his kingdom would crumble.
Finally, we pray for you, dear saint, who carries this burden before the Lord. It is a heavy thing to intercede against such evil, and we ask that the Lord would strengthen you, fill you with His peace, and guard your heart against despair. **Galatians 6:9** encourages us, *"Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up."* The battle is the Lord’s, and He will bring justice. Rest in His sovereignty, knowing that He hears your prayers and will act in His perfect timing.
**Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this family and all those involved in these wicked operations. Lord, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You would rise up and scatter those who delight in evil. Bring conviction so deep that they cannot escape the weight of their sin. Expose every hidden deed, Lord, and let the light of Your truth shine into the darkest places. We pray for the salvation of these souls, that they would turn from their wickedness and surrender to You, finding mercy at the foot of the cross. Protect the innocent, Lord—deliver them from their captors and restore their lives. We bind the enemy’s power over this situation and declare that no weapon formed against Your people will prosper. Strengthen our brother/sister who intercedes, filling them with Your peace and assurance that You are fighting this battle. We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.**
