Harriet Tubman One of the World's Greatest Heroes

"Tubman was beaten and whipped by slave owners as a child. Around 13 yrs of age, she suffered a fractured skull when an overseer threw a metal weight at another slave, but missed and hit Harriet. The injury caused dizziness, pain, and spells of hypersomnia, which lasted throughout her life. After her injury, Tubman received visions and messages from God." During the Civil War, she served as a scout and spy, and became the first woman to lead an armed military assault—the Combahee River Raid—which freed over 700 slaves. Final Words: When Tubman passed away on March 10, 1913, her final words reflected the deep comfort she found in her savior. She quoted Jesus's promise of salvation from the Gospel of John, affirming: "I go away to prepare a place for you." Harriet lived her life as a sacrifice for other people. Behind every hardship is a blessing. Behind every trouble is a blessing. Behind every red light of hardship is the green light of God's Passover. HBU? Are you using your life as an offering to free people from the slavery of hell? Sin is the slavery of hell. You as an offering can help people avoid hell's chain gang. Will you be an offering and a sanctuary? Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary.
