The Torchlighters: The Harriet Tubman Story

Does God answer prayers? Every day Harriet Tubman prayed for deliverance from the oppression of slavery. Little did she know, God had a plan, and she was part of it. Discover the incredible story of faith, perseverance, and prayer in this Torchlighters episode: The Harriet Tubman story!

For centuries slavery reigned in parts of America, forcing an entire people into a lifetime of suffering and servitude. Living under the thumb of this oppressive system, young Harriet Tubman prayed ceaselessly that she and her family would be set free. Little did she know, God would use her and her resolute faith in Jesus to rescue not only her own family, but hundreds of other enslaved African-Americans as well. Discover how Harriet followed God, became the Moses of her people, and persevered despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles in this episode of The Torchlighters.

Psalm 35:10 … “LORD, who is like You, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?””.

Psalms 10:12-14,17-18
[12]Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.
[13]Why do the wicked renounce God? He has said in his heart, “You will not require an account. ”
[14]But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
[17]Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear,
[18]To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.
