Their Blood is Crying Out

"And God said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground." 

"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" (Rev. 6)


   In dealing with evangelism and Biblical counseling, we have always just gotten to the point with issues. In evangelism, you just get right to the Gospel, right? You want to be careful to not get off onto bunny trails. Satan certainly uses those to distract from the message of the Gospel. But in counseling, we do the same thing. We want to fix people's problems. We give them scriptures that they can apply to their situation. We want people's problems to go away, isn't that true? Well, yes, we do want them to go away, but God wants to take that situation and work His truth in that person's heart. Counseling is not as easy as giving a five step course to help someone out of their problems, nor is it that easy sometimes when we do evangelism. Yes, the Gospel is ultimately what everyone needs to have in both counseling and evangelism.
   There are groups of people though, that are much harder to reach. It's not as easy as just preaching the Gospel to them, (although that is what the ultimate goal will be). I am talking about people, here in America today, that are in slavery. You are probably thinking, 'Wait a minute. There's no slavery in America today. That ended after the Civil War era." Well, there may be more to this that you don't know. 
   First of all, there are the cults. Take for example, the Jehovah's Witnesses. Did you know that when  a Jehovah's Witness comes to Christ and leaves the group, that they have a very harsh excommunication for that person? Not only that, but all family members are not to have contact with that person ever again.
   Coming out of Islam is even worse. It could mean your life if you were born into a Muslim family and converted to Christianity. I have known people who were in this situation and it is very hard.
  But it gets even worse. If a person is born into a Satanic cult family, that child will probably go through a life of torture. If there is any concern of that child betraying the family secret, even when the child grows up, they will deal with that child, possibly by death.
   I said all this to say that there really is slavery here today. I know it is not limited to America. People's wills are taken away from birth. Not only that, but some families will deliberately destroy their children's minds so that they end up warped when they are adults. There are more and more reports of people that have developed what is called Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), which is the same thing by another name. The way a person ends up with DID is this; The child is treated with trauma at a very young age. It is done deliberately in order to fracture their minds. When a child is developing this condition, they are also developing amnesia to the traumatic situations. In other words, they won't remember the trauma that happened to them, but they will end up with a fractured mind. Some types of trauma are rape, electrocution, food/sleep deprivation, and physical beatings. One reason that people would be doing these things to children could be political. I have read where there are people who are trying to 'Break the mind'. Another time I read where there were people who are trying to employ these methods to create a society of robotic people. Many of these people who have experienced this kind of trauma and have DID also have had microchips implanted in their bodies. I could go on with a whole list more of things that happen to these people, but the point is this; We have a whole group of people that are trying to get help, but don't know where to turn or how they can even be helped. We, as Christian people and Biblical counselors have to know how to help these people. Some of them are so afraid of people that they seem hard to reach. Most of them are more afraid of being caught by other family members or members of that group. We need wisdom from above and help from God.
   The verses above apply to this situation, and here's how; there are a lot of people who have died at the hands of these cruel taskmasters. People have become human sacrifices for Satan. Children that have survived this mess can't seem to get out. The blood of the people who have died is crying out to God for justice! Those who have survived are also asking the same thing. How long O Lord? How long will this go on? How long will Dads get away with incest? How long will people be taken and microchipped and get away with it? How long will this torture go on? Why do we as a people not believe that it is really happening? Why do we think humans wouldn't really be doing such things? Because we think it happens in other countries, but not here in safe America. And we fail to understand the depravity of man.
   There are other types of slavery too. There is also sex trafficking which young girls are brought into prostitution. They didn't ask to be there. Someone exploited them and brought them in, in order to make money off them. We have to deal properly with all the after effects of this crime. 
  Yes, their blood is crying out. The blood of millions of aborted babies is crying out. The blood of those damaged from being in the cult is crying out. They are not only crying out to God for justice, but they are crying out for help. Their only hope is in the Cross, and they need to have that message available to them. They will need for people (believers) to accept them. They will need to learn to trust us (which will be very hard) and we need to become trustworthy. Let's be asking for God's help and wisdom, in counseling and evangelism, and let's be careful to listen next time and not turn someone away because their story seems too bizarre. If we don't help them, no one else can. Let's be the church and let's be the advocate for those who are enslaved!
