Laurie Ishii

Okay, this woman is REALLY trying – and Satan is doing whatever he can to keep her in bondage!!!

BOTH pimps over to her place again – this time when her (main) pimp said that he owns her – she said, “No, Laurie said God owns me.” (softly) He said, “What’d you say?” she repeated, “God owns me.” she said he started mocking her again and she kept saying it until he grabbed her, put her in front of the mirror and pulled up her shirt where her “branding” is (many pimps do this to their girls) and said, “See – I owe you. That’s my stamp of ownership.”

She felt defeated after that. I told her that she has been sealed by the Holy Spirit, etc. (Eph.1:13-14) so that she could memorize it.

She’s seriously trying to memorize verses and has scripture all stuck up on her walls everywhere in her apartment. While we were talking, she started reading some of the verses she has up on her walls – and then all of a sudden stopped – because her pimp had written all over some of them.

He wrote, “Out of Pocket” (A prostitute is not allowed to look at any man except a John or her pimp. Otherwise, she’s “reckless eyeballing” or “out of pocket”) Well – He must be threatened, to think that she’s “out of pocket” reading scripture and having her eyes on Someone other than him.

She said that her pimp HATES me – and she told him that’s okay because I pray for him. He said, “I don’t need her prayers” and she said, “She loves you and believes that you’ll be a great man of God one day.”

I am SO SERIOUS – I TOTALLY BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART that this man IS GOING TO GET SAVED!!! God is going to do a radical transformation in his life and he is going to influence a great number of pimps!!! She said that he is THE Mack Daddy of all the Mack Daddies where they are at. (A Mack daddy is an older, distinguished, established and respected pimp by all the other pimps) He is also a Gorilla (one that uses violence) pimp, which I already knew.

And, she’s his bottom b**** of course – she’s been with him for like 30 years… she teaches all the younger girls and even the popcorn (new) pimps the game.

She is STRUGGLING letting go of the game, as well as the people (especially her pimps)in the Game – and she KNOWS that she is supposed to come out here – she said, she feels like He wants her to just pick up and leave everything behind and GO, and that scares the heck out of her! She feels like something is going to happen when I go to LA and I don’t know what!!!

(All of us believers know…!!!) That struggle just confirms to me that God is going to do something AMAZING when she’s here. She said that even Her pimp said, “You’re going to LA.” (She doesn’t even remember telling him where in California she is going) and then he said, “I’ll give you four weeks, and then I’ll come and get you.”

She said, “Why does He (God) want me to go to LA? I don’t know anyone there! Why do I have to go there?” (Exactly the point – she doesn’t know anyone from the GAME here)

I told her that it wasn’t about WHERE she goes – she could go anywhere – it’s about being where God wants her to be, in His perfect will. I started saying, “You could go to NY, or Florida…” – she stopped me and screamed, “BUT I KNOW THAT I’M SUPPOSED TO GO TO LA!!! IT SCARES ME SO BAD!!! SOMETHING IS GONNA HAPPEN!!!”

Okay, we know that this is spiritual. Let’s just keep praying for God’s will to be done and that He will begin to close the doors for her to do anything BUT what she’s supposed to. I also want to pray that she gets so SICK of the Game and of her old life that she’ll never want to go back.

Soon after talking to her…

Praise God…

God is moving…

A friend of the woman (soon to be EX prostitute – I’m gonna call her STBEP from now on) from Chicago – who’s known her since she was a kid – it was crazy cause out of no where, STBEP got a sudden urge to smoke cigarettes after years (she can’t drink cause of her liver) and so she went to the store and didn’t have enough money and decided to go to her cousins and (I was on the phone with her) and she said, “Oh – I think they’re having a party here – I’d better be quick – OH! there’s my friend L*****! I haven’t seen her in years!” (I thought, “Oh no” cause I was thinking she was in the game and friends with her pimps, etc.)

She was looking for STBEP and another girl – so she could talk to them. L***** was in the game too – and she told STBEP, “It’s time for you to get out of the game – if you don’t, you’re gonna die. Look at you, you’ve been trough too much – you can’t take anymore beatings.”

She started WITNESSING to STBEP!!! L***** has been out of the game and has been with JPUSA (Jesus People USA) and she’s serving God!!! Hallelujah!!! I don’t have time to go into it all, but L***** told STBEP that she and her cell group has been praying for her and that they’ve been praying that God will send her somewhere far away where she doesn’t know anyone!!! (LA!) Because if she goes to **** that’s her second home (she grew up in the projects with L*****) if she goes to ******, she worked there – and where she is now is a bad place for her to be out of the game.

STBEP told L***** about us trying to get her to LA and L***** told her that she needs to come out here (where I am) and start learning to trust the people that God has brought into her life.

PRAISE GOD!!! I was crying when I listening to this – God is SOOOOOO GOOD!!! The way He pursues us…

Even STBEP said that she knew it wasn’t a coincidence – that she “was touched that, God sent L***** here all the way from ****** to talk to me.”

God is SO AMAZING! And He IS DEFINITELY working!!!! PRAISE HIS NAME!!!
