• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So listen, today we're gonna talk about missing people. Like literally,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, but every single day,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: unfortunately there's missing kids, teenagers and most out of nine
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: out of ten. Most of the time it's young girls.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. It's sad. It's a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: horrible thing. As a parent, I don't know what those
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: other parents are feeling. That's just so it's just hits
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: my gut every time I see it, like scenes and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: it's talking about just this week alone, last week, the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: week before, And I'm like a mawaiim on this algorithm,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: like on social media or something like that. How did
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I get I'm this missing people thing recirculating these missing teens,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: these missing people, amen and hopes that, of course that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: they will be found safe, safe and sound. I thought
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: about it, and I was asking the Lord yesterday. I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: was like, Lord, like, what's going on all these missing people?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: How should we respond as believers when it comes to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: missing people and missing teens?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And I asked the Lord, what should we do? What's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: our part to play as believers? Well, when a person
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: goes missing, Christians won't again. Believers, people who believe in
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus are called to respond with both compassion and action. Right,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you feel it? We should feel something. And then someone's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: child is missing. I don't know what that feels like.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I don't want to know what that feels like. As
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, one of the reasons why I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: left New York State to come to Pennsylvania years ago
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is because my son's mom will take my son sometimes
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and disappear. That is a gut thing like, it's almost
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: like ripping your heart out. And I used to drive
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: me bonkers when I when I didn't know where my
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: son was. I used to literally go flip out and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: go bonkers, get in my car and search. So I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: shold the borough of Brooklyn, and it was real dangerous
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: when I found out where they were the way I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was back then. So it's cut wrenching.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It's like it does something. We're supposed to do something
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to believers, right, We're supposed to have compassion and take
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: action reflecting Christ's love. Before I wasn't reflecting Christ's love,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or my son would disappear. When my son's mom would
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: take my son and he was a baby and they
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: would disappear, I wasn't showing Christ's love back then. I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: didn't know his God's love. I just knew just passion
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that I had for my son to know where he was. Hey, man,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But now we reflect Christ's loves. I reflect Christ's love
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: while standing for justice and hope. We stand with other families.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I don't have to know you and your family, your
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: child's missing. We're gonna show up with some brothers and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: sisters in Christ and show some compassion and take action.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: We're gonna reflect the love of God while standing for
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: justice and hope. We're gonna be in Hebrews chapter ten,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: verse number twenty three, Hebrews ten twenty three on today's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: morning devo. Listen, brace yourself. Let's do this together. A
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: man less be the body of Christ living on this earth,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a man where in this world. We're just not all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: this world, but we are representatives of the most High
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: God by way of Holy Spirit. We are representatives of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ here on this side of eternity,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in your city and my city, and your borough, my borough,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in your town, my time, and your state, my state.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: A man, and throughout the nation and throughout the world,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: we should show compassion and take action and be with
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: these families, a man standing with them for justice, a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: man standing with them for hope, for Hope's sake. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna be. I know it's a heavy topics,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: heavy issue. But literally, man, I was like, why am
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I seeing all these missing teens every single day? Amen?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And it does something to you. Man, You're like, what's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: going on? And you know, you start praying, you start hoping,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you start believing, you start trusting. So I started asking
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: questions of the Lord and said, what should we do
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: as believers, as living children of the Lord?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: So we just look at it and be like, oh, man,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that's cool.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I pray and.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Keep scrolling or should you really take some time share
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the post amen, and pray for that specific person, that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: individual that's a life, that's a soul, and they're so young. Amen.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And we don't know the details. I don't know all
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the details for all these missing children, these missing teens,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But God knows every single detail. So
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: let's pray first. After we pray with share this out
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: for like sixty seconds, I want to send out a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: special prayer to my nephew Devin Galan, a man on
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: his way to college. They're driving now. They left probably
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: like around three thirty in the morning, four in the morning.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: A man that are trying to get to where they
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: need to be. I believe by nine or ten o'clock.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It's a seven hour drive something like that. So we'll
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: pray for him as well. So ready, we'll pray first.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: If you have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests along
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the way. Amen, don't hesitate to leave it on the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: live chat. And after we pray, we'll shut us out
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: for like sixty seconds, and then on the other side
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of those sixty seconds we'll come right back and we'll
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: get into our scripture. Man, this is heavy, at least
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on my heart. He was Chapter ten, verse number twenty three. Father,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I thank you. I pray traveling mercies right now for
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: my family, the Gallan family, Amen on their way with
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: my nephew Devin, and Amen, that you would guidegard and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: protect the roads, the highways and byways, that they would
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: get to their destination safely and soundly. Pray over Devin,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: my nephew. Bloodline is there. I pray, Lord God, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: had your protection. I pray the power of your love,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: your grace, and your mercy to be evident in his life.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I pray Lord God that you would keep him safe
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: physically and emotionally and spiritually, and that Lord God, he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: would thrive in sports. He would thrive in academics, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he would know who he is and find his identity
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in you first, and then find his identity in this world.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I thank you, Lord God for positioning him in a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: place where he's excelling, accelerating. A man going further than
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: what I have gone through, and going further than what
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: his dad has gone through, because you, Low God, can
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: show him greater things than even the former relatives that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: he has, including his dad and his uncle. I speak
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: peace over every single situation right now, over their family,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: over families that are missing children. I speak peace right now.
• 7:53

  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, that we go and we set forth ark
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: we angels, ministering angels, worrying angels to seek and rescue
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: these missing teens, dismissing kids, dismissing people that are part
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of families. I pray, look, God, that you help comfort
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: those parents who are going through this right now in
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus Holy name, and I pray that these teens, all
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of them, will be found safe and that justice will
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: be prevailed a man, that justice will rise, and those
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: people who are causing disruptions to these families will be
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: taken down and taken in, and Lord willing that they
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: too will repent, but not without the proper justice. So
• 8:41

  Speaker 1: the other side of the screen and on the other

• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and prayed us by faith and those who agree with
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the power of prayer. We say amen to the Amen.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So help me shut this out. When we get back,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: we'll get into Hebrews, chapter number ten, verse number twenty three.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: H you man, We're back. We're back.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Someone's trying to send me a message. Let me see
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: what this message is about. Hopefully it can concerning this,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: but it's not. It's people had a lot of time
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: in their hands.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And Amen.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: But let's see. I accept it, and then let's see
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: what we got here, and it's just a shout out
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: from a dido Sama. Okay, shout out to you, my
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: friend on the other side on the messenger. So let's go.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Man, listen, let's let's take this to the word. Man,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: this thing is I can't imagine, you know what I mean,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Like these parents, what they're feeling, what they're going through.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Can imagine what the teens that are missing from their
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: families are going through. Like I said, I don't know
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: all the details, but the Lord knows every single detail
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of all these situations that's going on. And people right now,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: including parents especially, might be asking God, why would you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: allow this to happen to my family? And why would
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: this happen to my child so young? And man, those
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: are valid questions. I would ask the same thing. And man,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, And the parents don't know because they
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: did know, and they want to be asking the Lord.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And of course God could take these questions. For some reason,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are free to approach God asking questions.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: That's not the God that we serve. The God that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we serve, and we read about him and read his
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: word the prophets ask questions. The people of God ask questions.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: The kings ask questions. The people that God used to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: go liberate his people ask questions. Then in the New Testament,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the disciples ask questions. Jesus, it was in communication with
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the Father. Amen. Why wouldn't we ask God? He's the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: one who has all the answers. Amen? And it's humbling
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to ask God questions because it's an a mission that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: we don't know everything, right, I don't know everything, So
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I have to go to the one who does know
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: all things. A man with the questions that are pressing
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: on my heart, cloning this situation with missing people, with
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: people do this to families. Man, And of course in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: my mind, I automatically thought of greed. I already I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: automatically thought of lust, already, money, just sick people mentally
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that are into all kind of this trafficking with young
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: kids and all this stuff. I was watching a clip
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: of a movie and I literally had to delete it
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: when it was along those lines. I guess the algorithm
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: on social media, when you look at something about a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: missing child and then you share it, I guess the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: algorithm starts sending you movie clips of certain types of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: movies that have those scenarios and it's horrible to me. Man,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I don't ever want to be in that position. I
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: don't want to be in contact with these people, really
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a man, because that would be really a real test
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of my patients, a real test of my character to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: face these type of people that are taking teens for
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: weird things and ugly and mentally disturbed things for clients
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that are into that type of stuff. Missing People today
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: in the morning, Devo. I hope this encourages someone. I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: hope this plants a word of hope, a word of faith. Amen,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in your heart as well as in my heart. Let's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: go for Let's put this on screen for those who
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: are listening at Soul Winners with a z dot org
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to celebrate a network. Thank you so much for listening.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: If you're listening from the podcast, thank you so much.

  Speaker 1: Subscribe to the podcast so you could get all the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: times that we go live and the new episodes will
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: pop up on your mobile device. Amen. So let me
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: get this ready on the screen. There we go, Missing People, Amen,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and man, this is heart wrenching. Sorry for the wake
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: up of this type of wake up if you're with
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: me early in the morning. But God's words speaks, and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: we need to choose to I know, I need to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: take heed to what the Lord is saying. Amen he
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: will ten twenty three. Let us seize and hold tightly
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful to his word.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: That's why when someone who is in distress comes in
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: contact with a child of God, we shouldn't leave them
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: worst off them how they met us. We should leave
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: them in a place of hope. We should leave them
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: in a place that we could remind them of God's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: promises over their life. We could remind them that God's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: reliable and trustworthy and God is faithful to his word. Right,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and because God is faithful to his word, we encourage,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: or we should be encouraging, those who are going through stress,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: those are going through life issues, those who are missing children,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: missing parents, those who are going through life in a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: hard way. And they should leave our our situation or
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: our meeting with some kind of hope.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: They're coming to you, they come to me, and they
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: need hope. Missing people out there, man, and this is
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a physical missing, like literally people are missing. They're out
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of sight of their household out of sight for their parents.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And this must be a horrible, horrible situation. I don't
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: want to feel that. Amen. But God knows, Amen, why
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: these things happen. God sees all. He knows what all
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: every single one of those missing people are. God knows
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: who they are, where they are, and who abducted them,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: who took them out of their family. God knows it all.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So we could step in for these families. But justice, action, compassion, Amen,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: because we're hoping in a God who can bring them back,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: who can really put these families back together, and justice
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: be served. Morning brother Rober, God bless you, Rober, you,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: God bless you. My brother and my friends get to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: see you on in the morning devo. So this is heavy.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Man like asking God should I share this? And I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: heard the spirit of God said absolutely. There's so many
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: people struggling in this area. You know they're hopeless. You
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: ever saw a person with you look in their eyes
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and they're hopeless. They don't know, they don't have hope
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: at all. I've seen men like that in hospitals, man,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and it just breaks my heart. I'm like, man, I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: used to be that guy. I used to be that man.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: That had no hope.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And then God showed up in my heart and my
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: life transformed me, renewed me. And now I know that
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: He's trustworthy that I could place my hope, trust and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: faith in him. He's faithful to his word.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: His promises are all yay and Amen. Now I have
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: hope in any situation. I might not win all the time, Amen,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: But God wins all the time in every situation because
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: God is faithful to his word, and his word is true,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: time tested. His word is reliable, his word is relevant.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: His word is an on time word, a right now word.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Because God knows all things, and all things that God
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: does are good. I know it sounds weird. So if
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: God is good, saying, why do this? Does he allow
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: us to happen to these young teenagers? Or how is
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: he not protecting them?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: And how?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: We don't know if God is not protecting First of all,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: we don't know if God is not protecting these young
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: children and they're going through horrible things. Yes, and man,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: we see it all the time. We ignore it a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: lot at least, you know, in general, it seems like
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: we're ignoring it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And it seems like those industries of secrecy and darkness
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and abduction and young children for clients and all this
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: other stuff. It seems like they're thriving. But do not
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: be deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever they are sowing,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they will reap. Amen. And the wages of sin is
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: going to be death. Lest they repent. They're in a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: bad situation. Lest they repent, God will have justice over them.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Lest they repent, they will be judged by the Lord.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: So here's some things that I found that I think
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: will help anyone in that situation right now, including their children,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: concluding the teens. Amen, These families that are broken up
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: because they don't know where their kid is. They don't
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: know where their children are, they don't know where the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: teenagers are. Amen, pray without delay right away, a sap.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Just pray. Start praying a sap.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You might be saying that sounds cliche. That's not gonna work.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: You don't know what's gonna work. If you don't know God. Amen,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I suggest you get to know him. Maybe pray to
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the unknown God, just like I did in year two
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: thousand and one. I prayed literally to an unknown God
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to me, I didn't know he was there. I didn't
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: know he was real. I prayed anyway because I was
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: desperate for change. I knew the world drive me out.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I tried everything in the world. Yeah, this, that, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the third, and I had that type of life. Whether
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: they left me unsatisfied and empty. So I said, there
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: has to be more. And if there's not more than
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I'll just keep it moving the way I was. So
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I pray to an unknown God. You could get ahead
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and pray to this unknown God. If you're not born
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: again yet, pray to this unknown God and see if
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: he won't show up in your heart and in your life.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: See if you won't show up in your situation. Amen,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Go to the believers of Christ. Go to the churches
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that you know in your area that seem to be
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: filled up with the spirit of God. Amen. You don't know.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Because you don't know the spirit of God. You don't
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: recognize the spirit of God. But if you're a child
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: or your teen, or if something has happened in your
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: life that you're desperate need a man of help, go
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to the Lord first and see what happens. Pray without delay.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: The Lord is near to the broken heart, and he
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: understands and saves the crushed and spirit right. We see
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that in the Saumus Psalm thirty four and eighteen. Pray
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: immediately asap for the teen safety, for your child's safety,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: for your family to be rectod, for you have peace
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: in your family.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Wisdom for the authorities that are involved in this. And
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: they might be overwhelmed, They might be going through these
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: cases over and over again. They might not know where
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to start, where to look, they might not have evidence.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: But the wisdom of God can fill these people of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: authority up with God's wisdom. And pray for a reunion
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: with your child, with your family member. Amen. These are
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the things that rise up hope inside of you. Amen,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: because now you'll be like, Okay, I have God on
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: my side, I have God's people on my side, I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: have authorities. And I'm praying over the authorities and investigators
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and those who are going against this trafficking thing, those
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: who are seeking justice, those who are truly trying to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: help these families. Amen. God can fill them up with
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: God's wisdom. Amen. Organized prayer, chains, prayer of trains work. Amen.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of them going on right now.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And we have have families and family, friends, a man, friends,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: of the family that are fighting for their lives right now. Amen,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: And we have prayer chains on people praying all over
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the country, all over the nation, all over the world
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: for these prayer requests. So organize a prayer chain, a
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: visual within your church or your community. Listen. If your
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: church is not gathering up to pray, Amen, go ahead
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and leave. We're supposed to be a house of prayer.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be the ones who pray. A man,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the Body of Christ are a bunch of prayer warriors.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Think about it. If we're not praying, we're not speaking
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to God. And that's a scary situation. If we're not
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: connected with God, then whoever community, whatever community that you're in,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and there's no prayer time and there's no prayer chain,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: there's no prayer team. Amen, go ahead and leave the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus God and leave to find a believing
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: group that praise, that speaks to God.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine going to church and then not speaking
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: to God? That won't want to be good? Offer immediate
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: support to the family now. Families are hurting right they
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: have a missing child's missing people in their family. Offer
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: immediate support right, bear one another's burdens, the Bible says,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians six and two.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Be physically present and listen. Be physically present and listen.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times I've been in
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: situations that I don't have no words. I'm just present, literally,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: just there. Amen. Whatever God's going to do, just in
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the presence, when God's people are there, Amen, and dispirited,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Lord lives inside of us. Sometimes all we got to
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: do is show up, be present, listen, and be a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: source of comfort. Provide meals, do something. It's people hurting,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: people taking days off of work. Money is an issue.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Provide meals, help with child care, run errands. Amen. We
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: have a family form the body in the body of Christ.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Of those things, Amen, and people are handling that need,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm praying Amen for the needs to be met.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Avoid judgment, Avoid speculation. The what ifs are not a
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: good time right now? What if this, and what if that?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Only if I could have did this different? Those things
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: are not going to be helpful for anyone. Amen. Empathize,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: don't sympathize, empathize, show that you care. Amen. Don't feel
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I feel so sorry for you, that's not
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: really helping. But if you feel the same way the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: parent is feeling or the family member is feeling, Amen,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: has show them that you're there with them through this.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: That's empathy and you can help them practically. How about this.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: If it's in your city, it's in your town, amen,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you see. If going across, go ahead and help them search,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know, pray about it. Use wisdom. I'm not saying
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: get up in the middle of the night and go
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: into all kinds of strange neighborhoods. Or if you have
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a lead and you know you're just gonna go by
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: itself and show up knocking on doors in the middle
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: of the night, use wisdom, godly wisdom. Amen, and pray
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that God will link you to the right people. Pray
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that these leads to these teens or these missing people. Amen,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: add up to something that will be reliable. Amen. So
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: go ahead and search rescue the week and the need
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of the Bible says, deliver them from the hand of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the wicked Psalm eighty two and four. You probably never
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: thought that God cared about missing people. You never thought
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: God was a god who knows what to do during
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: these situations. Right, share the missing person alerts on social media,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and That's what I've been doing lately, and I'm like
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: it's hurting me. I'm like, why are we getting all
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of these missing people alerts. It's good to have the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: alerts and we need to spread that out for awareness,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: but man, why is it that way right? Volunteer to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: distribute the flyers.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: You see them all over the posts and on the polls,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: on the electric polls, canvas, neighborhoods, ask questions.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Help organize search parties in coordination with law enforcement. They
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: could use our help. The Church, the Body of Christ,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: we should be a living, breathing, breathing organism, not just
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: an organization, but a life source to these families. Work
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: in unity. Unify with the authorities. Whatever your position is
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: on the authorities, Amen, and put that to the side,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and have hope and an effort to partner with the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: authorities that could get more done than we could get done.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Let every person be subject to the governing authorities Romans
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: thirteen and one. Authorities are there, supposedly are there to
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: help those reach get justice. Amen, to hope those who
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: are bad to get them to justice. Whatever they do
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: with their position that's between them and the Lord. But
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: remember one thing. God puts all authority in place for
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: his purpose ultimately, and keep hope alive, guard against hopelessness,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and help these families out man. So missing people are
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: out there, Amen, Hebrews tend twenty three. Let us hold
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: who promised is faithful. Hebrews tend twenty three.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: For those who are in this situation right now, and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: read the whole chapter for yourself as well. And I'm
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: praying and I'm hoping, and I'm believing with you that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: you will be reunited with your child, with the team
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: with the missing person. Amen. And this is a physical
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: missing person. A lot of people are missing spiritual as well,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: but that's another situation for another time.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: So out of time, I.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Hope this helps you. God bless you all, God keep
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace.
