GODS MINISTRY TO THE PROSTITUTE.

Why would anyone God want anyone not to condemn a prostitute?
Because Gods love is for all of us so we need not choose who to minister to. John 3:16 says that for God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life?Mathew 9:36 says that God is moved with compassion when he sees that people are weary and have no sense of hop.
What leads women into prostitution?
*The pursuit of wealth.
*Child sexual abuse.
*A lose of hope.
*Low self esteem.
*Drug addiction.
The pursuit of wealth.
Girls are either driven into this lifestyle because of poverty. In other cases the women may come from a wealthy background but still engage in hooking. They want to get fast money which quickly goes into drugs or other problems. Psalms1:1-3 talks about the way to prosper being more related to the closeness we share with God. The more we meditate on his word, the better we feel about who we are. This gives us the motivation to do more things that bring in prosperity.
Child sexual abuse happens to a lot of girls and boys. Children often keep this to themselves and it erodes their sense of self worth. This makes it easy for them to begin this kind of lifestyle.

A lost sense of hope comes about when some one feels that they cannot change a bad situation. Especially when they have no one to turn to. Hope is what drive to carry on each day but if we dont have it, we seldom care for ourselves and engage in dangerous activities but Jesus says that I have come that you may have life and that you may have it more abundantly. Jesus came to bring hope to our lives. We need to hesitate to wake up every morning because he will give you strength for each new day no matter how bad your situation is.
A Low Self-Esteem is situation where we feel inferior to other people. Negative remarks from people closest to us make us feel bad about ourselves but we must look at what God says. The devil stills kills and destroys your self esteem to make it easy for you to give your body to someone you may not even know. We are fearfully and wonderfully make by him. This makes you very special. You are not an object as most women are portrayed in the media. There is more to you than your body. You are a soul and spirit that should not be messed around with.
Drug Addiction is a big problem in our society. What should be understood is that we are all designed to be addicted to something. That is worshipping God. When Adam and Eve sinned, they broke their fellowship with God. That was when people begun worship idols to fill an emptiness that was left when man strayed from God. There are many forms of idols. Alcohol and drugs are among them. When women take drugs they develop a craving that makes them do anything to get that high. They end up selling themselves just to get money for drugs.
If you are engaged in this kind of lifestyle know that God loves you more than you will ever know.

SALVATION

Do you sometimes feel like something is missing? Do you often go shopping just to feel an emptiness inside you? Well the emptiness was meant to be filled by Jesus Christ. God wants to save you from that loneliness that you feel even when you are in a crowd.
Acts 4:12; Jesus is the only way to salvation.
John 17:3; You can find salvation by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior.
John 3:16;Tells us that God loved the world so much that have gave his only son for you! What an amazing love!
Just say a simple prayer accepting Jesus chartist into your heart and he will save you from the complications of sin and death.

HAPPINESS AND JOY

Having a sense of happiness can give you the drive to do many things in life as opposed to feeling angry. An angry person can feel weak and even fall ill sometimes. Refer to Psalm 16:9. When the heart is happy so is the body. Happiness can protect you from stress related illnesses.
Happiness and joy are two different things in that happiness is dependant on our circumstances while joy is not. There are many things that cause to us be sad such as finding that we have less than someone else. Women tend to compare themselves to TV personalities who are slimmer or have other qualities that they do not have. This us makes try to get more things to be more like them. The key to happiness is being happy with who we are and finding joy in God. When we do this we have joy, meaning we are happy all the time because Gods love for us is more consistent than things.

RAPE VICTIMS
Rape is a very traumatic experience and a remains a huge problem in society today. It results in post traumatic stress disorder and usually involves these or more disorders. Withdrawal, replaying the trauma in your mind and depression. Recovery is an ongoing process. The person seldom feels safe after that. Some people turn to drugs and alcohol to just to numb the pain and recurring images of the experience. Remember to turn to God in your darkest hours not away. Even if you feel dirty from that incident God says that you should go to him when your heart is heavy.
To protect yourself from rape:
*You must avoid walking alone in dark places.
*Open your own drinks in clubs to avoid being drugged and raped. In addition, dont drink too much as this can impair your judgment.
*Avoid being alone with males who make unwelcome compliments about your body. Relatives included.
*Learning some self defense helps.
*Do not rely on your date for transport back home from a date.
*Do not invite strange men to your house, get to know the guy first.
*If you live in crime prone areas get some pepper spray or other tools to defend yourself.
If you have been raped, consider counselling. You need not be ashamed. Its very likely that the counsellor knows some women who have been victimized. You can form a support group where you openly share your feelings they will understand your point of view.
