Though the earth give way, and everything trembles. God will be with us. Get ready Jesus is coming.... I had an intense dream last night to do with girls trapped in sex trade/being sexually exploited in a work place.. Still need to process. I will share one vivid picture in my dream. A girl in a wedding dress got shot in the back... Girls were getting murdered... I escaped. I woke up with a chorus "where can I go, where can I hide, who can I trust, Jesus save the Sparrows"... I felt fear and emotions that a girl must feel in that situation. To a very small degree, I'm sure. But what I did see and feel stuck with me all day.
The bride of Christ is being beaten, abused and murdered... so intense. The Boss that was the leader over it, he was full of so much rage and was calculatedly cruel... And there was a food-chain of abuse from those closest to the boss down to the ones that were distantly associated with him... distant from him for the moment anyway. It was only a matter of time. One by one girls were coming up dead, until a climatic event happened and there were people dying everywhere... Ambulances, lights, sirens... Jesus, help them right now. Jesus is our hope and theirs. God is in the midst of her and she shall not be moved.... wow, what does that look like?
When everything shakes and trembles around me, I must find my anchor in Jesus. My prayer is that I would be rooted and grounded in the love of Christ. Ephesians 3:16-19 and that I would have wisdom and revelation of Him Ephesians 1:17-19. Because circumstances, people and events will swirl around me- but God doesn't change. He alone remains, and He remains the same. We have to know Him, His nature, His heart and be established in His truth. The only truth. So that we won't be moved... Outwardly, I could get kidnapped, forced into prostitution, sold and raped over and over- no please... but say it were so... Will my heart remain unmoved from gazing into the firey, loving eyes of Jesus and confess with my mouth- "God is good"?? Our hope has to be in Him... I must fear the one who holds my heart, soul and very existence. God alone is to be feared and praised...
My hope can't be in whether I have bills paid, food in my belly, have a healthy body, and a husband who loves me. My hope can't be in a cute little house, with a white fence and a peaceful existence. Some trust in chariots, some trust in horses, but I trust in the name of the Lord... The Lord is my rock, refuge, hiding place in time of trouble, put your trust in God alone. He alone is your salvation... God give me (us) grace to set my gaze on you, the Holy, and be found watching and waiting with doves eyes for you.. Though you slay me, that I would trust you Lord. You give and take away, but Blessed be your name... God is good I say. And I will continue to pray for the "sparrows" that are falling, crying, dying... Jesus save them, & Jesus save their souls. ..
