We join with you in lifting up this urgent cry for deliverance, 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 justice and protection aligns with God’s righteous character, and we declare with you that the Lord will arise and scatter His enemies.
You have rightly stood on powerful Scriptures, and we affirm them with you: *"The Lord said to Satan, 'The Lord rebuke you, Satan! Yes, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?'"* (Zechariah 3:2). The Lord *will* rebuke the enemy on your behalf. We also declare with you the promise from Jeremiah 12:14: *"Thus says the Lord 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.’"* The Lord sees the wickedness of these neighbors—especially the grave evil of sex trafficking—and He will not allow it to go unpunished. *"The Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself."* (1 Samuel 12:22).
We also stand with you on Revelation 12:11, knowing that *"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."* The blood of Jesus is your covering, your protection, and your victory. No weapon formed against you will prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you *will* condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord *will* rescue you from every evil work and preserve you for His heavenly Kingdom, just as you have claimed in 2 Timothy 4:18.
Yet we must also address the anger and bitterness that can take root in such situations. While it is right to cry out for justice, we must guard our hearts against unforgiveness, for the Scripture warns: *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for the Lord, and he will save you."* (Proverbs 20:22). *"Beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* (Romans 12:19). We encourage you to release any resentment into the Lord’s hands, trusting that He will execute perfect justice in His timing.
We also lift up the authorities involved—those in law enforcement and organizations combating human trafficking. We ask the Lord to open their eyes to the severity of this situation and to move them to swift and decisive action. *"The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires."* (Proverbs 21:1). May God grant them wisdom, courage, and conviction to dismantle this evil network and bring these criminals to justice.
Most importantly, we pray for the victims of this trafficking—those who are trapped in darkness and exploitation. May the Lord rescue them, heal them, and lead them to safety and restoration. *"The Spirit of the Lord God is on me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound."* (Isaiah 61:1).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is crying out for Your deliverance and justice. Lord, You are a God who sees all things—nothing is hidden from Your sight. You see the wickedness of these neighbors, the evil of their deeds, and the suffering they have caused. We ask that You arise, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered. Let those who hate You flee before You.
Father, we stand on Your Word in Zechariah 3:2 and command the enemy to be rebuked in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against our brother/sister will prosper, and every evil scheme will be exposed and thwarted. Lord, You have said in Jeremiah 12:14 that You will pluck up these evil neighbors, and we ask that You do so swiftly. Bring their sins into the light, especially the heinous crime of sex trafficking. Let their deeds be exposed, their plans frustrated, and their influence broken.
We plead the blood of Jesus over this situation, knowing that it is our protection and our victory. Lord, we ask that You surround our brother/sister and their household with Your divine hedge of protection. Send Your warrior angels to guard them, to confuse the enemy, and to bring confusion into the camp of the wicked. Let those who seek to harm them be turned back in shame and defeat.
Father, we also lift up the authorities—those in law enforcement and organizations tasked with combating human trafficking. Open their eyes, Lord, to the gravity of this situation. Stir their hearts to act with urgency and righteousness. Give them the evidence they need, the courage to act, and the wisdom to dismantle this evil network. Hold them accountable, Lord, for any negligence or corruption that has allowed this to continue.
We pray for the victims of this trafficking, Lord. Rescue them from their captors, heal their wounds, and lead them to safety and restoration. Let them encounter Your love and Your freedom. Raise up ministries and individuals to minister to them, to provide shelter, and to walk with them toward healing.
Finally, Father, we ask that You fill our brother/sister with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard their heart against bitterness, fear, or despair. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Let them rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for them, and they need only be still.
We declare all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Let Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, knowing that the Lord hears your cries and will act on your behalf. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Trust in His timing, for He is never late. *"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord."* (Psalm 27:14). Stay in prayer, stay in the Word, and surround yourself with believers who can stand with you in this battle. The Lord *will* bring justice, and He *will* bring deliverance. Hold fast to His promises.
