"To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror." ~Psalm 10:18


Transnational organized crime -Human Trafficking, > then illegal arms $. Second only to drugs $. Human Trafficking revenues ~$32billion/yr (ALOT of money), with ~2.5million victims (ALOT of people). The reality, most trafficked victims were running from something; poverty, abuse, broken homes... then, find themselves trapped.
A dark, heavy, evil.

*This morning we held ~2 hour Worship and Intercession time at YWAM Honolulu for this Justice issue. This topic stirs up emotions. We press in and ask the Lord for His heart. We are aware, not to be unhealthily fearful, nor apathetic, but ready, willing to respond when the Lord says go or stay or pray in a certain way. Here is my heart;
 

Human Trafficking an overwhelming giant?
God is bigger! Jesus breaks strongholds and
sets captives free. I have seen the fruit.
...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control... (Galatians 5:22-23) 

We war in spirit.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, against the world forces of darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
(Ephesians 6:12)

"...How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!" (Romans 5:15)

"...and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace..." (Ephesians 6:15)

"How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, -Your God reigns!" (Isaiah 52:7)
