God Changes Things Through Prayer

   I am amazed at things God is doing in our midst. He answers our individual prayers, and sometimes we can see the results! We are encouraged in our praying when we see God working in our midst.
   I have been praying for a long time about certain things, and they have not come to pass the way I would have expected or wanted them to. Maybe my time table is different than God's, but I really believe He is all powerful, and we, as a people, really need Him and His intervention right now!
   About two years ago, my eyes were opened to a whole new realm of people that exist and who live in this country. I met a person who I will call 'Cathy Jo' and she related to me what it was like to be raised in a family who practiced Satanic Ritual Abuse. I don't want to go into the horrible details of what this is like, but I do want to tell you that there are probably thousands upon thousands of people who live in America today, that are suffering the ramifications of being in a home like this. Many children actually don't survive because the torture is so great. They literally just curl up and die. The ones who do survive, have mental disorders. It is really hard to help these people because their lives are so ingrained with lies. To help these people (if they really want help) you have to find all the lies and take them out individually, by showing the passages of Scriptures that speak truth to their issues. 
  I have been made aware that there are organized groups that also enslave women into the sex-slave trade. Some girls are kidnapped, and others are actually brought in by family members. Some are brought in by pimps and others come in some other way. Once they are in, they can't get out. Many die. Again, it is one of those situations where the victim is threatened to be killed if they tell. 
   We have people who are addicted to drinking and drugs. There are many reasons that caused these people to start on alcohol or drugs, but they end up enslaved in their money taking habit. Homes are destroyed and marriages end because of a drinking spouse, so many times. Children are abused, and some even die. What a horrible way to live and die!
  Anyway, I want to report a couple of things God is doing right now in our country. I believe it is because people are praying. God is actively at work now. 
   For so long, people have prayed, and prayed, and prayed. It looked like not much was happening though. Is it too late for our country to receive God's mercy? Well, be encouraged! I have a couple of things I want to post here.
  1. I am seeing more and more people coming out of homes where Satanic Ritual Abuse has taken place. I believe this is an answer to our prayers. What do we pray for this? We pray that God would shine His light in the darkness. We pray for sins to be exposed. We pray for the works of darkness to no longer be hidden. We pray for those who are His to be kept safe and find a way of escape.
2. A month or so ago, we saw three young women who were trapped in a home for a decade. They were kidnapped and used by the kidnapper for his own pleasure. He would starve one of the girls for two weeks, then punch her in the stomach to make sure she would abort the baby that he was the father of. He did this 5 times to this woman. How do you think these women felt when they were found and released from this house of torture?
3. Yesterday, we saw the closing down of an abortion clinic. I had been praying for this clinic (as well as others) to close down. I continue to pray that the abortion business goes bankrupt. I pray for Planned Parenthood to crumble. 
   I recently watched a video of a woman who came from a home where her father was a Satanic High Priest. To the world, no one would have guessed what went on inside the home. I believe it was the father of the girl who made her pregnant, on a regular basis. There were no records reported about the babies that were born, but each one was offered as a sacrifice to the devil. 
   We can't close our eyes anymore to the power of slavery in our country. There are thousands, right now, that you and I have no idea about, who are in total slavery. Let's pray for God to intervene, and let's pray for the salvation of many who are caught in slavery, as well as the captors. I can see these captors now, someday having an enormous impact for the kingdom of God. I can see books written, and testimonies given that will bring total glory to the God of the Universe. But we need to pray. God moves when we pray.
