Belgian, I believe scripture in Romans where it says in our weakness the spirit interceeds on our behalf. I've heard stories of them who have come to the Lord in a coma, came out of the coma and praised the Lord. We can not in our humanity judge anothers eternity. We can only have hope that is in scripture as the rest is just too much to comprehend too much sorrow to bare. The vision of the Angel I just read after I wrote this the spirit interceeds on his behalf. You need to just cast your care on the Lord and do NOT hesitate to pray with your loved one or seek someone bold enough to pray. I'll share with you that my beautiful neighbour & sister in Christ had her hubby on his death bed. He loved us cause we are into harleys & we were the young folks next door who gave him joy. My neighbour is the most beautiful Christian lady with her children also dedicated to the Lord and grandchildren who are in missions. Her husband the unbeliever they could not pray with for they are so close and he was always so very angry towards anything Christianity. They'd pray for him but no with him. He was clinging to life when I went to see him. I told him Dean I love you so much & I absolutely respect you and your feelings. I just want you to know that I can not bare the thought of being with my heavenly father and not having your face be one of the first that I see when I come to the Lord. I want you there rejoicing that I've arrived and it would break my heart and the Lords heart if you were to reject this now at this very time. The choice is and always has been yours but i'll say a prayer & you follow along if you want. I then said the sinners prayer. He had a waggling of eyebrows, dont know what that meant but i'm hoping positive. I then told him he has to forgive in his heart all who have hurt him just release them. Afterwards I went outside and said to my husband WE said the sinners prayer... normally I'm a very I focused speaker & my husband said OH did dean say it too... I then realized i said we. This encourages me. Please dont let hesitation come between you and praying with your family in their greatest need. Ask the Lord for the right words and just speak your heart to them. The choice is theres. I just pray for your comfort as you go through these things. I lost my mom young but am thankful that she knew the Lord. I continue in prayer that there be not ONE lost soul in my entire family (including cousins uncles aunts... HUGE family) Nothings too huge for the Lord though. Bless your heart & please do let us know how it goes.
and you know I'm right.
