My sister cna't walk into a church!

[Guest antitox]

FR Chuck is right. She has a demonic problem. As I understand it, whenever anyone turns to satan for something, they receive demons. That is precisely the reason that she can't breathe if she tries to step into the church. It is part of the foothold that satan gets on people in order to keep them from God. I also think Fr Chuck's mention about having the church come to her might be the only way she can be ministered to in this regard. I would recommend that whoever visits should be an wise experienced delieverance minister who understands the nature of this and how to properly approach it because we don't want her to end up worse off than she is now.

[Chiquita,

Do not STOP PRAYING TO THE LORD! Since she has been praying to the devil for so long, he has a tight grip on her (or so he thinks). The more you try to resist devil and do good, the more he will make it hard for you to break away. Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the hardest things (although not caused from God, but the devil) can turn you into the strongest person. Read Romans 5:8. The Lord loves each of us! Read my testimony on the Testimonials (AIDA-GODS WILL). I too am a victim of abuse, and I am a stronger person because of it...although it took a while to say that. I wouldn't exactly say stronger, but it defined who I am and my charcter. I will pray for her. Until then, ask the Lord to reveal hisself to her. Tell your sister to rebuke the devil, and he will flee (don't know what verse it is, but it says it in the Bible). God is stronger than the devil, therefore, the devil HAS to flee when you rebuke him. As far as her having the panic attacks, that is the devil. When this happens, tell her to rebuke him in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord! I will pray for you both!

I have been contemplating how I can help her for some time now. I was wondering if you might be able to advice.

Its a long story but I'll make it short. When my sister was growing up she was verbally and physically abused my our mother. My mother is a big alcoholic and she doesn't even remember half of the things that she did. I can't even think about it now because its just so painful having grown up like this. My little sister tells me that every night she would pray for the abuse to stop. She says every night she would cry for God to help the abuse to stop but it never stopped.

So, unfortunately, she got into praying to the evil one for him to make it stop because she says praying to God didn't work. How far this went, I have no idea because she doesn't like to talk to me about it. So she was into that for a while.

She never finished school. She had a child when she was 16. She never went back to school. She can't ever hold down a job. All she does is live with my mother and cook and clean. She talks a lot about what she wants to do but never does ANYTHING. She wants to model and go to school but shes over weight and hasn't even gotten a GED. She's going to be 21 next month.

I believe that the abuse mixed with praying to the devil mixed together is the reason she is like this. Shes back to praying to God but she can't go into a church. She stand outside and prays from there. She says the closer she gets to the church, the more painful it gets for her to even breathe. She says she gets a bad pain in her chest and she literally can't get close or even walk in.

I've tried taking her and she says no because it hurts. I can't find the words to help her snap out of this. I need advice and a lot of prayers.

My mother still drinks heavily and I pray to God to have mercy on her soul because thats all I can do. I have a lot of anger as well for the things shes put us through as well but I have better dealt with it than she has. I too went through praying to the wrong Gods because I also felt he never answered my prayers either. I too was very angry that he allowed this to happen to us. I have repented and am back with God. I am doing good now but my sister isn't.

Please help us,

Chiquita

ok so your sister cant step into church thats ok make an apointment for your pastor to come and see you both and talk things through.

there is nothing that will shock your pastor he has probably seen this more time than you can imagine, its hard when we pray and we dont get answers we feel GOD isnt listening i wish there was an answer to this but i do know that god as listened to your prayers and he is doingsomething right now he loves you and your sister and even your mom and in time i believe that you and your sister and mom will be singing and praying to GOD side by side.

Thank you all so much! Especially for your prayers as I changes within the family. I had my sister sit and watch the Passion of the Christ with me. She cried as we all did. I think it really made a change in her as she has began praying again.

My mother just keeps giving her negative comments. Just down right aweful things come out of her mouth. I don't understand her. My sister is broken by her abuse and she just doesn't care. She wont help her or help her get help. She just belittles her. She'd rather throw her out in the streets. I just don't understand what is wrong with my mother.

The power of your prayers have made a lot of things change. I am so thankful for all of you and to out Lord. I am still asking for prayers.

Thank you!

God Bless,

Chiquita

CHIQUITA, how are you, and GBU

dear sis, I first off want to say, that the responses from HIS, were indeed, very well said. I couldnt agree more with her perspective and articulation. and that is everything she said. The point about your sisters salvation being in God's hands. As well as the counsel and encouragement that she gave.

Sister, I dont have much I can say, except that I really stand behind the words of HIS. I dont think you need some special person to "cast out demons". Thats almost like saying that if God is going to save her, He needs some "demon caster outter" to be there. Who of us in one time, or in one way or another, didnt give ourselves to the devil. Your sister just happened to do it in words. But all of us have done it in actions. The point is, if your sister is going to be saved, then God is going to do the work. I love the point about being "Chosen" because I feel that its so neglected in the church today. But keep praying for her sis. And let God handle it. Dont push your sister, when God can call her. Just be there for her, as a listening, understanding, kind, patient, and loving friend/sister! And let God do the work. If she is not wanting to talk about church, dont worry about it. Just be there and pray. In this... I'm done talkin here! GBU SIS your pal, Doc
