A woman from a poor country flies to Germany, where she expects to earn money for her family in a decent job.
Then she is shocked. She is a prisoner, drugged, raped again and again, enslaved as a prostitute.
The ancient Greeks wrote tragic dramas in which we see that there are such hopeless situations in life where no happy ending seems possible.
But this woman was saved by a miracle.
God spoke to a German preacher and told him to visit a brothel. There he found this enslaved woman. With God's help, she was saved and freed. God answered her desperate prayers.
How many prostitutes are crying out to God for deliverance?
I know wonderful Christian women in Germany who visit brothels to help the women. In one year, they helped four women to escape from forced prostitution.
There are situations where people have no hope even in this life, but Jesus can totally transform such lives and turn hopeless destinies around completely.
I can also say that from my own experience.
In my own family, I have seen how my mother and grandmother found peace with God through Jesus on their deathbeds.
I once knew a little boy who was totally deaf and was completely healed through prayer within a few weeks.
I have seen so many miracles.
Maybe someone has betrayed you.
Maybe you have been betrayed in your family life or in the church.
Maybe you've heard the false teaching that you can't expect miracles these days.
If we want to receive God's miraculous help, we must dare to hope again.
From this hope, miracle-working faith can arise in your heart, the faith that we can only receive from God as a gift.
God can transform dark situations with his light.
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Jn 8:12 NIV
It is possible to be imprisoned, but not by iron bars, but by darkness through which you cannot see to find the only open door.
‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ Jer 33:3 NIV
