Ex-Prostitute

Below is a letter that the woman that is staying with us (Daryl and I) wrote to her pimp. She has given me permission to share this but am keeping her and her pimp’s name anonymous for now. I used to call her STBEP (Soon To Be Ex-Prostitute) but now I am going to call her “EP” (Ex-Prostitute). Three weeks ago, I took a plane halfway across the US to landed at 5:30pm and then got right back on a plane at 6:45pm with “EP” back to LAX.

God is soooo good. Yes, it has not been easy – but God is so faithful. It has been non-stop warfare since “EP” has been here but it is SO WORTH IT ALL. Please pray for her pimp – that he may come to Jesus and repent from his sin!!! With God ALL things are possible!!!

Below is the letter EP wrote to her pimp… she’s still going through healing and deliverance (daily) and she is GROWING in Jesus every single day!!! Hallelujah!!!

Hey,
I am not going to call you, I know you are reading my att account. I also know you are messing with my inbox trying to make me think I am going crazy. NOT!!!! I know I am not going crazy. As a matter of fact I am getting more and more sane every day. I am learning and CHOOSING DAILY to trust JESUS instead of myself. I am also CHOOSING NOT to run back to you or Robert anymore!
I have decided to make a conscious decision every day to choose a NEW LIFE and to let the OLD GO! That means I am letting you go once and for all. I know you did not believe me when I said I would not be back but as time goes on you will see it is true.
I can not nor will I ever go back to my old life. I refuse to be somebody’s piece of meat. I refuse to be bought and sold. I refuse to give my soul, mind, will, emotions and my body to just anyone anymore. I am now choosing daily to GIVE all of me to JESUS! I am learning daily to give Him my everything!
I gave you my everything , I gave you all of me for almost all my life. I loved you ****! I would of died for you! I thought at one time you loved me. I believed the lie you cared for me. Man was I deceived!
Recently God used a counselor to help me work through some memories from my childhood. As this woman and God walked me through it to my surprise you was in my memory. I was 4 years old!!!!! I remembered you molesting me in the hide away under the stairs in the wall, AFTER YOU ***** MY ****!!!!! You sick SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was then I was faced with the TRUTH of our TRUE relationship. My whole world, our whole world was based on lies!! you are not the man I thought you were. You are a lier! You never loved me. You never took care of me. You fooled me into believing your LIES!!!! I gave you my LIFE!!!! You gave me nothing but HELL, pain and heartache in return!! I put my trust in you, you betrayed me by having me believe you loved me.
You NEVER rescued me from my dads basement. i now know the truth. Jesus showed me you was in on it from the beginning. YOU SET ME UP!!!! I did not choose to be a whore you and my dad and others around me set me up. YOU GROOMED ME AND YOU GROOMED ME WELL.
At this time in my life I am very angry with you. I am very angry at you for all the hell (abuse) you put me through. I am angry at myself for believing the lie that you loved me. I am angry for believing the lie no one would ever love me but you. Now I know the truth.
I have so many people that Love me for me…. That means they love me regardless of all my imperfections.
I am choosing now to move on with my life. That means YOU will NO LONGER BE IN IT!!
I want you to know there are many people praying for your soul. They are praying you come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.. Plain and simple. That you have a relationship with Jesus. A real relationship. That means the 1st thing you need to do is acknowledge and admit you are a sinner. You need to believe what the bible says. In case you forgot it says that God sent His only Son Jesus to earth to live in human form and then die for OUR SINS not his! This is all of us, not just you. i too have come to the knowledge that I am a sinner and I need Jesus. I had to be willing to give up everything I be knowin for Jesus. At first I was pissed at Him. I mean, I never ask Him to die for me but he did any way knowing long ago I would sin against him. Knowing I would give myself to you instead of him. Jesus knew that I would make you my God instead of him. He knew I would of died for you! But PRAISE JESUS he also knew that a group of people at different times in my life would come along and love me. I mean really love me with no strings attached. YOU, never did that for me. Your love has always come at a high price. I am unable to pray for you now. I am still working through my hurt that you have caused me. But one day when I have worked through all this pain (so i wont come back) I will choose to forgive you and I will start fasting and praying for you, ****** and all the wifeys daily. I am not there yet and thats okay. I have never let myself go through the pain of what you have done to me. I never wanted to call it as it was. Lets just be real…Thats what you always say.. so here we go.. YOU murdered our baby!! I stuck up for you over and over and would never speak the truth. I chose to speak and believe the lies that I somehow caused you to beat me unconscious and that is was my fault our baby died. I had to deliver Joshua David (ALONE) dead because you beat me so bad. There are so many other things I can go into but I wont. You and I both know what you did. More importantly Jesus knows what you did. You can repent now and turn from your evil, evil ways (lifestyle) or you can keep liv ing like your living and face God on judgment day. If I was you I would choose the first option. Jesus has a plan for your life. Yes, I said Jesus has a plan for your life. He never created you to be a pimp and a man who abuses people the way you do just as he never created me to be a whore!
You will not hear from me anymore. i am moving on now. I guess I do have a heart? Gods heart! Because at this time in my life I say he should let you rot in Hell!!!! But Jesus says different, He says that you should live and not die. Jesus says that you should declare the works of the Lord! So, I guess you have two choices: Choose Jesus which equals life or choose (death) your way..living as you are now and choose eternal punishment for eternity. I know your mama has taught you well. I know she loves you so much. Just because you show up at the 5th street Missionary Baptist church every sunday does not mean you get a free pass into heaven. As you know even satan knows the bible and visits churches every week.
Okay, I am done. I ***** am letting you know on this day of 09/08/08 that I no longer belong to you but I only belong to Jesus. Jesus has bought me with a high price…more than your 2 thousands dollars….He gave his life! He shed his Blood! The only thing he ask of me is that I love him and serve him… I am letting you know I am choosing life/Jesus. i belong to Jesus!!!!!!!!!! I will not be bought anymore. I do not have a price. Jesus owns me. I am choosing to sell out to Jesus daily. It is a process I will finish! With Gods help.
Goodbye ****,
***** (Ex-Prostitute)
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
I Never Knew You Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
hebrews 10:26-27
26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

PRAISE GOD FOR STBEP – SHE MADE IT TO LA!!!

God is so amazing and soooo faithful!

Yesterday morning I got on a plane at LAX and landed in Indianapolis airport at 5:30pm. I met my friend STBEP and her friends and family – had time to check in, go to the bathroom, say goodbye and get back on a plane to LAX at 6:45pm.

STBEP saw her pimp at the airport – he always tries to make her think that he’s still in control – that’s how most pimps operate – fear, intimidation and manipulation is what they thrive on. He tries to make her believe that he knows “everything.” Thank God that “Greater is He that is in STBEP than he (satan or any pimp) that is in the world!!!” and “No weapon formed against STBEP will prosper!!!”

Her pimp told her before, that she couldn’t fly because she has asthma so she wouldn’t be able to breathe, she’d have a heart attack on take off and she couldn’t handle it, that planes weren’t safe – basically he always speaks word curses to her that are all LIES- she is starting to see that everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.

He said that she will always come crawling back to him – that he is the only one who’s ever loved her and that after one day that we will be sick of her and that we’d kick her out!!! He said that she was created to be a ho and that she would always be a ho. He’s got another thing coming!!!

So far she has met a BUNCH of people (her new friends and family) that have been writing to her for months, who’ve sent her cards, money and gift cards – people who gave her beautiful welcoming gifts – people that LOVE her unconditionally no matter what she looks like or what she’s done or been through – she is such a beautiful person with such a huge heart and everyone loves her the moment they meet her!

We took her to visit the Dream Center and she LOVES it – she really feels like she wants to go through the program!!! Praise God!!! We had her speak to people we know that work there and they will take her in this week! It is her decision and we think that it is a very wise one. She is also going to see a personal trainer who will help many of her physical conditions.

She is so excited and she is doing SO WELL! She was amazing on the airplane and she said that she already feels way better than she expected! She feels safe because of all the security on campus and since Daryl and I have been working with federal agents that are experts in sex and human-trafficking.

Today she spent the day at one of our friends house in Beverly Hills and our friend took STBEP to her massage therapist because STBEP has had so many injuries and back pain. It’s no wonder that she is feeling so much better after the massage!!!

STBEP is getting royal treatment because she IS royalty! She’s a daughter of the King of Kings!!! We are also praying for and believing God for a Christian plastic surgeon and dentist (or we’ll raise the money) for STBEP to get some work done (after all the beatings she’s gone through) so that she will be feeling better and better every day not only spiritually but also physically!!!

She is so grateful for everything and is amazed at how just leaving the environment she was in before has already done an amazing work!!! Thank you all for yours prayers and support!!! Praise God!!! Thank You Jesus for your amazing grace, love and redemption! Thank You that no sin is too big that You can’t forgive, thank You that You can take anyone out of the deepest cesspool and wash them clean, white as snow, make them new and give them a new life!!!
