In reference to some recent news going on in Nevada, I felt the need to post about this again.
If you haven't read my previous blog post about human trafficking and prostitution, check it out here for more information>> Click here.
So, if you did not know, prostitution and brothels ARE legal in the state of Nevada. The fact that that statement is true just blows my mind. I cannot believe we have let this go on in our own country for so long! It must be that people just turn their eyes as to not have to see what is happening? I can't really come up with a logical explanation.
FINALLY, someone big is speaking up! Harry Reid is calling them out. But this is not going to be an easy fight. The brothel owners and prostitutes are speaking up, saying that they don't want to loose their income for livelihood! Which is an honest concern; if this is the way of life they have ever known, making it illegal seems crazy to them!

WE all know, that selling your bodies is not a healthy way of life. But many people do not understand that. Even fans of a Facebook page called "Hookers for Jesus" (a ministry organization developed to help women who have been affected by this industry, and who are against prostitution, etc.) are commenting on this news, saying things such as " I personally see nothing wrong with having legalized brothels in every state." "Yeah, should be legal in all 50 states, what business does the Gov have with consenting adults behind closed doors!"
Obviously they are not 'fans' of what the organization is really for. My point being, people do not understand. They have believed lies from Satan and see nothing wrong with selling sex.
What do we do?
Pray!
*Pray for the right outcome in all of this
*Pray for the prostitutes and brothel owners, that other, healthy jobs will be provided for them so they don't have to worry
*Pray for mentoring and healing
*Pray for eyes to be opened
*Pray for the state of Nevada
*Pray in faith!
Matthew 7:7-11
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
