I have a friend, Ill refur to as J, who has been following a dangerous and false faith for several years now.
She was terribly injured by a christian church many years ago, when she was in great need, so she has rejected any christian truth for a spiritual faith following a god of her own choosing.
I had hoped to witness to her in love, actions and of truth of scripture in following Jesus.
Its not been an easy witness and saddly about a week ago, I was moved by something she said and took a stand against it.
Saddly she is extreemly angry at me for this, and I wonder if she will ever accept my friendship again.
I did apoligise, but she wants compleat submision to her controll.
I am trying to disern if Jesus is having me step back so He can work on her heart, or if I am being called to give in to what she wants, so Jesus can work through me.
I will say that not responding to her has brought peace.
The thing is, to give in would be to submit to many things said, that are simply wrong, and I believe would encourage her to continue even farther down the dangerous path of belief she is on.

Please pray for me to recieve the wisdom and dissernment needed in this.
For her family, as they are on the recieiving end of her anger right now.

And more important, as many of you as can, please pray for her soul, for if she continues, she will not just put herself at risk, but her family and the many whom she will and does influence.
I see a great darkness around her, and that is trully pressing down on her, her life, and chance at eternal life.


Please pray for her in Jesus Christ is Lord.

Thankyou all so much.
in Jesus, God bless

Pickles, when you say you took a stand against something,
I know you mean you stood for the Truth, Who is Jesus Christ.

That's always a good place to stand. :)

The fact you have peace is hugely telling...
but I am praying for all you ask, and that the Lord cover you with His wings,
providing you with Shelter. ♥

love,
ellie

ps--complete submission to anything or anyone other than the Lord...
well, He would never ask that of you. ♥

Father you search our hearts and minds.
You know how to reach and love each one.
We lift up this woman to you...let this crack recieve you truth and love.
Give Pickles wisdom, insight and understanding...Lord you speak through Pickles.
May all the verses and sermons she has ever read or listened to come back to memory with divine understanding.
Play them as a sweet song in her spirit.
Place people who know and love you in her life...suround her with your light and love.
Give her the Joy of your salvation!!!
In Jesus Name, Amen

Father give our SWEET-PICKLES the peace that surpasses understanding with a gentle and quiet spirit full of inner beauty.
In Jesus love and Name, Amen

Love and hugs! Shekaniah

I will be praying that God through His most Divine Son Jesus guide your heart to do that which is what He would want for you to do in this situation. May she realize the importance of salvation and find Jesus in her heart and likewise in the things that she says and does.

Pickles, I'll simply pray for a breakthrough in this situation. I know you will never compromise your Christian values for any reason, so after all you've tried, seeking God's intervention may be the only way.

She, her family and you Pickles are in my prayers this evening. Just be yourself Pickles ... without compromising in love towards her. You're a better witness for Christ than you give yourself credit for. God is in control :)

Thankyou all for your prayers for her, and for wisdom for me.
I believe that for now that Im to step back, but pryaing that soon the door will be opened in Jesus for her.
As ornery and strong as she is, I see a great warrior for Jesus in her, when she is saved. :)

Thankyou again for your prayers, She really needs them.

God bless
