In the Tower of Babel from Genesis 11, like-minded people banded together. I bind that spirit that would cause people to band together for illicit gain. God saw the danger in ungodly people combining forces to defy Him, so He scattered them across the earth. He confused their languages so they could no longer communicate. Please God, find a way to confuse the traffickers, bring harsher consequences for these evil practices. You desire unity, but for good, not at the expense of the innocent and righteous.
Gangs exist to do evil. They are a secret network of accomplished criminals, with selfish plans to harm and terrorize the innocent. Proverbs 1:8-19 pleads to pursue wisdom, not the paths of wickedness that gang life offers. “If bad companions tempt you, don’t go along with them.” Father, I ask that you send angelic hosts to bring restoration to the minds and spirits of those who are in gangs. Let revival break out and salvation with a true relationship with your son Jesus Christ!
Proverbs 1:29 says “Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.” This is exactly what is happening when people are trafficked. I say that the days of gangs and traffickers are numbered. I pray for justice to be served. Bring them out of hiding. Let there be a breach in the ranks. Infiltrate with undercover officers, keep them safe to get the evidence that they need, to make these organizations to be stopped and fall apart.
My Papa, loving Father, you care for every single person on this earth. I thank you for the testimony of Nicky Cruz. He was abused as a child, was angry and turned to violence. He became a warlord as a New York Gangster. Through David Wilkerson, you pursued Nicky and pulled him into a close relationship. You showed Nicky something he’d never seen before, relentless love. He described Jesus walking to his side, opening Nicky’s chest, took out his heart, and puts it to his lips to kiss it. The Lord then placed the transformed heart back into his chest and raised him up as a brand new creation.
Nicky was delivered and set free, to the point of leading other gang members into a beautiful life with you. I pray for more David Wilkerson’s and Nicky Cruz’, to start a revival amongst the gangs. Visit them in dreams and visions as you did with Nicky! Bring them to repentance, to have viable jobs. FEAR be gone to those who want to leave the gang life and live as you have destined for them to live! Instead of anger and violence, PEACE to reign and rule.
Amen!
