Lord God; we come to you in the Nmae of Jesus, seeking thy mercy and grace to be poure out upon this family without measure. that thou perfect and Holy Will shall be done in their lives, Lord not one shall perish as you said in thy Word that you will none shall parish. Lord it is you through thy Son Jesus Christ saves the lost. save them
Lord with thy mercy and thy grace draw them with thy cords of love. guide them with thy right hand and bring them to a saving knowledge of you. sactify and fill them with thy Holy Spirit that they will hear thy voice when you speak to their hearts; when you call they will say to you " Lord here I am" and they will be doers as well as hearers of thy Holy word. lead them and guide them in thy truth; let not one turn to the left nor to the right but to keep their eyes stayed on you. teach them to trust in you and you only... Holy Father; remove everything that will hinder their walk with you; destroy eveery yoke and break the things from their lives that have them bound, that they will be free to worship and serve you with their whole lives.
Lord God we take the athourity you have given us to tread upon every serpent and scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy, to bind every foul and unclean spirit that is a influence in their lives in their minds in their hearts.. and in the name of Christ Jesus we command and rebuke them all and tell them to leave this family and speake to nor touch them never again. at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and obey! Glory to our God who is a good and faithful God , sovereign and sactified God a God of peace and hope; you give us joy in thy Holy Ghost. Lord we thank you that this whole family is engrafted into the kingdom by the adoption they have received in Christ Jesus our Lord. Lord let the words of their mouths and the meditations of their hearts be exceptable in thy sight. thank you for giving them a new heart; a heart of flesh and renewing a right spirit within them each and every last one... every man, woman and child shall thou say to them when they enter thy kingdom in heaven "well done my good and faithful servant.
Lord we pray you answer every need that is need to make it through this journey in life till thou has called them home to be with you;; Holy Heavenly Father thou knowest all things. do it Lord for thy Glory and thy name sake,,, do it Lord because of your Love...

Thank you; IN THE NAME OF CHRIST JESUS DO WE PRAY THIS PRAYER TO YOU; O, Lord our God. Amen

Sharp I have the same issues with a few of my family members who profess Christianity but dont do things in my opinion that glorify the Lord. They hord their stuff & their money & blame ministry mismanagement to justify their lack of concern for ministry. They do these things and I wonder... they judge others harshly and I wonder... Then I need to take a step back and look at moss in the mirror. I worry with my learning and seeking to do Gods will am I wrongfully judging others walk with the Lord because it does not mirror mine.

Am I one of those finger pointers? seriously I'm been examining myself in this way because I in no way want to turn them away from the Lord with my perceived judgement of their faith or the seeming lack of the Holy Spirit at work in their lives. I've come to the conclusion that their salvation is to be worked out between them and the Lord & I will pray and I will stand firm in what I believe about being fruitful & ministering to others. regardless of what is said or done by them. When they try to justify I say... my money goes where I want it to go... If someone mismanages it, that is between them & the Lord... I will continue to support ministries regardless of how anyone bashes the ministry.

The Lord puts it upon our hearts to give where He sees fit... Ok, I just went way off topic, sorry... I guess what I'm trying to say is we are all in a process of growth in our faith. We can by example, by word, by encouragement & by deed show them what it means to listen to the Holy Spirit in our lives, that would include loving & not judging though it sure would be easy to judge cause sometimes you think... WHERE WAS THE LOrd in that???

With that being said, I will pray for your family members & please pray for my dad Fred & my brothers & my brother in law Mike. Thank you & God Bless you.

Re: It is one of duties to make sure our family is saved !

Dear brother Luke, I share your fear that some of those I love are not ready for the soon sure coming of our Lord Jesus.

It says in the Bible that once we are saved by the good news, it is our duty to go out and share this wonderful opportunity with others. It is most certainly true that we must do all we can to make sure our loved ones are safe. If there are members of your family who do not show the fruits of the Spirit. I prayed for twenty years eveery day for the salvation of my children. It was only this year that my daughter was led to salvation.
We can but pray every day for our loved ones, speak with them fo the importance of their decisions and actions when we can. Then we put it in Gods hands.

When we have done all that we can, we can relax in the knowledge and faith that our Lord wishes that not one soul be lost. I pray that our Lord will forgive the sins of your loved ones and lead them to salvation and a close relationship with Him, in Jesus name, Amen

Have a wonderful day in Jesus !!!

brother Gary
