The blockbuster movie, “The Sound of Freedom” is a clarion call presenting its viewers with the reality of the current and thriving industry of human sex trafficking specifically targeting children, and how much this market benefits from our open southern border. That is the 50 crossings covering more than1900 miles between Mexico and the US. Thanks to our open border this hideous market is thriving and enabling the US to be one of the major consumers supporting this abomination.
In addition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. the monumental fentanyl crisis resulted in109,680 drug deaths nationwide in 2022, is continuing to accelerate. The drug is coming in over our open border mainly with Americans, not illegal aliens or immigrants! Another serious concern with our open southern border is that people from all over the world have been pouring into the States. People are talking and wondering why we, the American people are being put at risk, with anybody able to come in? Not to mention how unfair this is or to the millions of people who go through the legal process to live in the US and sometimes wait for years to accomplish that priviledge. After the shattering attack on Israel that shook the world on October 7th, we must be vigilant to “see something, say something.” The post 911 slogan still applies to this monstrous enemy, who waits patiently for the opportunity to again destroy and wreak havoc. After the death of my husband, a lie I believed in almost cost my life. I learned the great power of deception is that when you're deceived, you don't know that you’re deceived. My biggest mistake was not asking God if this “promise” I thought I heard was from Him, and I believed I would die in 5 years and see my beloved again. Also, this was my precious secret that I didn’t share with anyone. I was so sure this “gift” was from the Lord. Four years and nine months later, I was diagnosed with cancer. The friend who drove me to the doctor's, was a cancer survivor herself. When I told her about the promise, and how I believed this was how God wouId take me home, she just wept and said "this doesn't make any sense!"
Then one night after a message at church on deception, I finally asked God, now almost five years later, if I was deceived about anything. Immediately, He revealed to me that the lie I believed in was not from Him. My faith in this lie, gave it life and the power to kill me. I was in awe, and totally humbled by God’s mercy, kindness and patience. I immediately repented, and literally felt the progression of the cancer stop. Spirtual warfare followed quoting scripture, and standing on God’s promises that included Ephesians 6:10-17, Isaiah 41:13; 54:17, and Jerimiah 29:11. The colon cancer surgery was successful, and with no need for chemo or additional treatment. I was totally healed-that was sixteen years ago. God is an amazing and loving Father. He truly is good! Some scriptures that address the spirit of deception: 1 John 4:1 Ephesians 5:10 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Proverbs 11:14 |
Lord, You are sovereign.
You decide when, and where, and how. You are the Holy One, Who dwells in the midst of the praises of Your people. Let us bless the Lord, Who is worthy to receive all glory, and thank Him for His goodness! |
