A Hopeless Prostitute used for God

If you are not familiar with the story of Rahab found in Joshua of the Old Testament, you better dust off your bible and read up because you're missing a good one!  My husband preached a sermon about Rahab once and it was one of the best I've heard.  Remember Rahab was a dirty prostitute in the sinful city of Jericho. There were rumors spreading like wildfire that the Israelites would invade their city.  The city of Jericho lived in fear as they waited for the city to be destroyed, but Rahab decided to turn her FEAR into SALVATION!  Rahab assisted the Israelites which in return did not harm her or her family.

It would have been easy for Rahab to join in with the others and live in fear and sin, but Rahab sensed the mercy and grace of our Lord.  Today it is easy to become wrapped up into what the world wants from us. This might be our careers, money, friends, or even family.  BUT God wants to use us in a mighty way.  YES all of us!  If God can use a prostitute I am positive He can use you.  The question is: Will you give your life to him and allow Him to use you?  Do not let fear stop you from asking God to use you the way he wants.  Turn your fear into faith just like Rahab and you will be blessed!

Love you all and may God continue to bless each one you!
