Prayer (for a prostitute) and Praise
I have not written any blogs lately because I have been involved with helping a woman who has been prostituting for… many, many years. I am not going to give enough details for anyone to be able to figure out who she is because I want to protect her identity, but i will say that God has SUCH a HUGE plan on her life that the enemy is doing whatever he can to try to keep her in bondage.
She has had the same pimp in and out of her life for years, him and another pimp – and between the two of them – she has been brainwashed and they have had complete control over them, both physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Because of the strong emotional ties, the “love” she has for these men – it is very difficult to just tell her to leave them. She is not physically held captive by either – unless she has the sense to want to get away – that’s when things becomes physical. Or, when out of the blue – in her worlds – she just “breathes wrong” – she may get beaten almost to her death.
Put in the hospital twice in one week, broken ribs – raped, beaten, sodomized – just a few of the things done to her – unfortunately, she is not alone – this is what is done to many of the women who are in this lifestyle.
I have been on the phone with, email or text with her everyday for the last few weeks since I returned from Bangkok – and it has been such a blessing. I am so grateful to have her as a friend. She is a beautiful, special woman who I know God has something great planned for her to do!!! I feel so privileged to know her.
In the last few weeks, I have see her grow, stumble, change, beat herself up, be afraid to get back up after falling, let go of some strongholds, get back up, push forward, continue to grow…
This woman is a fighter!!! She is a warrior. She is WAY too hard on herself, expects to be a perfect Christian TODAY – has already led someone to the Lord when she doesn’t even believe that she’s walking with Him, thinks she’s a total screw up and asks me all the time if I really believe that she can really change and get out of ’the life.
’
As of today, she HAS left BOTH pimps – for a substantial amount of time. PRAISE GOD! We must pray that she KEEPS THEM OUT OF HER LIFE! (Until she’s strong enough to share Jesus with them if it’s God’s will) She has pretty much been born into the life (the Game) and personally I have never ever heard of ANYone go through such a horrible, traumatic childhood as she did – most people would probably have ended up in a mental hospital – but not her…
She feels so much shame, and was so ashamed to tell me so much of the things she’s had to go through – the devil is such a liar – she has nothing to be ashamed about!!! The things that happened to her was not her fault!!! I just see how the enemy wants us to keep things a secret so that we think that no one will ever understand and think that something is wrong with us…
Anyway, I won’t say much more, except to PLEASE pray for this woman. We are trying to get her to come out to LA, to get away from her surroundings, her pimp… but right now she is in such bad medical condition that she can’t travel. There is so much more to this that I can’t disclose but seriously, she needs A LOT of prayer – she really can’t travel yet.
We need to pray that God would heal her quickly (SUPERNATURALLY) so that she would be able to get here ASAP!!!
WE have people here ready to help us, finances for a plane ticket, friends to help pay for her daily needs and even a bed so that she can stay in our spare room.
I’m sorry that I haven’t responded to letters or comments to anyone or a while – I’ve only checked my inbox but have hardly responded to anyone. I feel that this situation is is of utmost importance and a priority right now. I literally have been on the phone with her for sometime 2-3 or more hours a day. The Lord has given me the grace and the time to do this somehow and it hasn’t been a burden.
I DO need prayer for my health though – the enemy does attack my health spiritually, so if you think of me – I’d appreciate your prayers very much!!! God IS MOVING BIG TIME – even if she doesn’t see it (she doesn’t think she’s changing and the enemy lies to her and says she’ll never be able to change) God is doing a MIGHTY work in her life!!! Thanks and God bless!!!
