human trafficking. human trafficking. human trafficking. For over a year now I have been thinking, breathing, living: a burden, a heaviness, the weightiness of it. I think about it often. Almost everyday, as much as I think of Him. Justice. Righteousness. JUSTICE.
Jesus warned us about a lawlessness that would increase in these last days and Jesus even warned us that in the last days merchants would mourn over their lost merchandise, and their merchandise will include human lives. (Rev. 18:13)
They are not for sale. Humans should not be for sale. Children should not be sold for less than cows cost. I have learned about abolitionists of the past and forerunners that made our future what it is today. I believe there is a movement coming to the church and something is happening again. God is rising up forerunners but more importantly modern day abolitionists. I think this issue will become one of the leading human rights issues of our time and generation. I can just feel His heart of justice beating so loudly on their behalf. I have a sense the poor, oppressed, the underground churches are coming to the forefront of things. Not because they need our help but because, we need their help, they are shining! If they have nothing then why do I envy them so much? They may be poor in the natural but their spirits are rich. They have nothing but they posses everything. To be so simply devoted to our Savior is so stirring. It makes me realize that I am only eating the bread crumbs of His presence when I could be eating the whole loaf. Would it be okay if I threw everything I owned out my window? I would only like to live with the shoes on my feet and a couple items of clothing in my closet. Just to live with what I need!! If I had only a little it would be easy to give away everything! I am SO rich!! I have more than enough compared to the rest of the world. Throwing everything out my window would be a natural expression of what I'm feeling in the spiritual. Leave out the thee's and thou's, the programs, just give me Jesus. If I sound crazy and too passionate, good. I have decided in the past two weeks that I CANNOT live a non passionate life. My friend exclaimed to me the other day, "I don't want to be an echo!" I shouted back "neither do I! We don't want to be echos because we are called to be voices!!" We are all going to be extreme for something. Let's be extreme for love, and justice is just love in public. I tried these past couple weeks to be normal and want a normal job and a normal life and dream normal dreams and it just about suffocated me. So I have decided that I will live my life the way He has spoken over me to live it. A revolution sounds good to me right about now.
by the way, prophetic evangelism, awesome. I think there will be a great increase in this.
Social justice issues. could talk about em all day.
one of my favs:
"But let justice roll down like waters
and righteousness like an everlasting stream"
-Amos 5:24
I should be sleeping.
