A couple months ago I was going through some mail and found the section that lists missing persons. I took a look and saw two missing girls, one was under 10 and the other was around 17 years old. I decided to take it to prayer and ask the Lord to bring them back to their family, all of a sudden I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit come upon me.
God directed my attention to the younger girl who was under 10 and I could feel her pain. It was excruciating, I could feel she was terrified, abused, and scared. I was shaking and in tears as the Lord was revealing this to me, I began to see the general area she was at and heard the Holy Spirit say, "rebuke the spirit of Shechem." Shechem was the prince that raped Dinah, (Abraham's daughter who at the time was estimated to be between 13-6 years old, Gen. 34) and took her captive. As I rebuked the spirit, I could feel a shift in the spirit and I felt the peace of the Holy Spirit descend. I received a word of wisdom that she was going to be found and returned to her family.
The next few days pass and the Lord placed it back on my heart to pray for the girl who was 17 years old. So I took it to my next prayer session, and as I asked God to return this young girl back to her family the Lord gave me a word of knowledge. The Holy Spirit told me this girl's parents were Catholic and were praying the rosery over her in hopes she would be found, but it was just sending more oppression to this young lady. I asked God to be merciful and to give her a powerful encounter with the true Jesus Christ so she could testify to her family. I again, immediately felt a shift in the spirit and could feel the peace of the Holy Spirit upon the situation.
In prayer the next few days, the Holy Spirit told me these girls were found and that I needed to testify. I have to testify the truth, and the truth was I lacked faith in that moment. I though, "really? they're found that fast? How would I know for sure?" So I check the missing persons database online and wasn't able to find them, I receive another newspaper and checked back again but saw the girls were gone. I gave the hotline number a call and asked them how I'd know if a person was found, the man told me if the missing person is found, they would be taken off the database and the news paper would no longer show them.
That was all the confirmation I needed, I knew for a fact Jesus brought these girls back to their family! And all the praise and glory goes to King Jesus, he is The Deliverer! I'm reminded of Matthew 18:14, "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish." The world we live in is wicked, the enemy is doing all he can to steal, kill, and destroy. But it's our job to pray for God's will to happen, we need to believe in Jesus and intercede for the lost. The Devil thinks the pain he causes someone is irreversible, but he forgets, God's love is able to heal a broken heart and turn it into a testimony for the glory of God! There is nothing the enemy can do that God can't fix, make BETTER, and use for his glory! We serve a mighty King, and I'm so grateful he hears us!
Acts 3:11-13 "11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. 12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go."
