In joshua we read about a certain woman called Rahab, was, according to the Book of Joshua, a woman who lived in Jericho in the Promised Land and assisted the Israelites in capturing the city. Nearly all English translations of Joshua describe her as a harlot or prostitute.
Now what is so special about her, we see that inspite of her situation and way of life, she had the desire to be used by God and we see this in the book of joshua2:1-down;
when the king of jericho heard that the spies were staying at the inn, he sent a message for rehab to release them to him. she didn’t want to release them, so she told the messenger that they were no longer there. she did this, because she had heard about the miracles and defeats of other cities that God had performed. She wanted her family to be saved after the israelites defeated jericho.

“but the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. she said, “yes, the men came to me, but i did not know where they had come from.”:
confess your need to God, and ask Him to deliver you.............................................................................................
The woman was later not destroyed by the isrealites but was instead spared and she went further to be part of Jesus' genelogy. Read this chapter Mathew 1 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mathew1&version=AMP)

i ecourage you to accept God's forgive and sincerely repent of old ways and accept jesus as your saviour.
If you are not born again you can free pray this prayer with, though i have prayed it a lot of times i have come to believe and understand that once you declare with you mouth that jesus was raised from the dead and that you accept him into your heart and he will come in and live with you, as he says '"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." Rev 3:19-21'
