From Porn Valley to Purity Valley

This past Tuesday I moved from the Koreatown/Mid-Wilshire area of Los Angeles to the San Fernando Valley. The San Fernando Valley is a suburb of Los Angeles (most of it is officially within the city limits) just to the north. The valley is home to many of those who work within the entertainment industry and there are quite a few studios based there. In fact most of Disney's and other leading studio's production is in the valley. But in the shadow of all of this is something far darker. The San Fernando Valley is well known for the production of pornography. In fact around 90% of the world's pornography is filmed, produced, or distributed from the San Fernando Valley. It has been coined Porn Valley by some.

As I was driving into the valley on Monday I thought to myself that I was about to move to the porn capitol of the world. No sooner then I had thought that when I heard the Lord say: "The San Fernando Valley may be known now as the porn capitol of the world but it will be known in the future as the purity capital of the world."

As I have written, time and time again over the past couple of months, the enemy attacks us in the area of our destiny. When there is a destiny or call to purity the enemy will attack with immorality. We see here in the Valley how much the enemy has attempted to destroy this destiny of purity. Why is this? It must be because he greatly fears what will be accomplished in the Kingdom when the valley moves into its destiny of purity.

We must continue to pray for the San Fernando Valley. We must pray for a destruction of the pornographic industry that enslaves so many and destroys so many young lives. Sex trafficking is becoming a larger and larger problem in our nation. It doesn't take much for one to go from paying to watch sex to paying to participate in it. If we want to destroy the sex trade we must address the roots of it. Pornography is just one of those roots. As intercessors we must continue to pray against perversion and declare God's destiny of purity over the San Fernando Valley, all of Los Angeles, California, the United States, and the nations. God is truly calling an entire generation to purity. Who will respond?
