1 Timothy 6:10 says “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (Bible Gateway KJV 2023)

I went to see the movie Sound of Freedom and it has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen.  Maybe because I was drawn into the movie.  I have my own family and my heart aches knowing that every day 2300 children are missing just in the United States(safeatlast) And around 1 billion children are reported missing each year worldwide. (ICMEC) That is mind boggling.  According to Sound of Freedom Human Trafficking is a 150 billion dollar a year industry soon to surpass the drug cartel, which is number one.     

So, to see a movie made about a true story depicting the goings-on of innocent children being stolen and sold, well, it got my attention. (168) Sound of Freedom | Theatrical Trailer for July 4 | Angel Studios – YouTube

What I found disturbing though was when our theater played it.  The other movie being played was Barbie and while I won’t be watching the woke Barbie movie.  I found it disturbing that on one side of the theater were two totally different movies, one a Christian movie bringing awareness to the terrible problem of human trafficking and how we can take a stand and stop our children from being kidnapped and sold as sex slaves and the other movie promoting Disney’s woke agenda.

1 billion kids are being taken from their families a year because of greed, for the love of money.  Because someone would steal children and take away their innocence and sell them over and over again so they can make more and more money.  You can sell drugs once, but you can sell a child multiple times and it’s sickening.

Don’t get me wrong, we need money to survive.  We all have bills to pay, rent, mortgages, gas in the car, electricity, and food to eat are just a few reasons we depend on money, but the Bible says, “For the love of money is the root of all evil.”  What will people do for money and what will people do to get more and more money.  When is it enough money?  Greed comes into play.

Some of us are satisfied to just have ends meet and we don’t go to extremes to make more and more money.  We are satisfied with what God gives us.  You see everything good comes from God.  All our blessings come from God.   I’m thankful for the things God allows me to have and don’t forget to give back to God your tithes, at least 10%.  God allowed you to have what you have, so remember to give back.

So what can we do to fight human trafficking?  Hold your precious children closer and tighter and longer.  When you are in public, stores, airports, anywhere don’t let your children out of your sight.  1 billion kids a year are disappearing.  Don’t think for one second the people responsible for this aren’t looking for your kids and any opportunity to take them from you.

Pray to God that God will keep your children safe.  Beg God for your children’s safety.  I don’t know what I would do if something happened to my kids.  And I don’t want to find out.  FAST and PRAY for the poor innocent kids that are being abducted every single day and the kids that are already taken.  Pray that the people responsible for this are found and put in prison forever.  Mark 9:42 “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” (Bible Gateway KJV 2023)

Isaiah 5:20 “ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”  (Bible Gateway KJV 2023)  

It is sad that we live in such sickening times, but we have to get through these times before Jesus returns and takes the church home. 1 Thesalonians 4:14 “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

¹⁵ For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

¹⁷ Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

¹⁸ Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (Bible Gateway KJV 2023)

Revelation 20:1 “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

² And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

³ And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” (Bible Gateway KJV 2023)

One day the devil will be bound in chains and thrown in the bottomless pit, but until then we have to comfort each other with these words.  And be very vigilant, always pay attention to your surroundings, how to escape a bad situation.  And PRAY that God will have mercy on us and keep our families safe.

Go watch and support Sound of Freedom, it’s an excellent movie.  You can go to Angel.com and give tickets to people that can’t afford them and guy their merchandise.  The movie is an independent film that was made five years ago but ran into any obstacle you can imagine.   Angel Studios: Stream Free, Original Shows for the Whole Family
