Will you fast with us?

Our team has been led to fast for three days this week – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – for the two "spas" on our street.  Will you join us? These spas are brothels, places where women are sold for sex.

 

One of the goals God gave to us as a team this year is to develop a ministry to these people that not only pulls them out of that life but also disciples them for victory.  Under the Holy Spirit's direction, with much prayer, after receiving training from an anti-human trafficking organization here in Houston, we have begun the process of connecting with the women inside these spas.  We are seeking to build relationship with them, looking for a key person of peace, praying for spiritual walls to be torn down, so that these women can be set free both physically and spiritually. So far, only one of the two spas has even opened the door to us, and still would not let us in.  This is a typical response at this stage of brothel ministry because they are places where Satan has been allowed to gain a deep stronghold through greed, violence, sexual immorality, fear and oppression.  These are dark places, and God is desiring to send his light there.

 

In Isaiah 58:6-9, God says this about fasting:

"Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?  Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am'…."

 

This three day fast is for the purpose of breaking down the doors in the spiritual realm so that we can go in and begin relationship in the physical one. Please pray with us over these next three days and consider joining us for all or even a portion of this time in fasting.

 

Our God is greater than the evil that is currently reigning there. Help us fight alongside him! Nothing is impossible with God!
