Just trying to get her to not break commandments and other laws. It takes a willing heart to obey Christ. How you describe her way of life, it sounds like she rejects Him and His teachings, which is why people say that she first needs to admit she is a sinner, ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus as her personal Savior, in her heart, not just her mind (thoughts). Being born again is the key as through His power in us, the Holy Spirit can create a new creation, new person in us, so we no longer live according to the desires of the flesh, but through the will of God. We alone cannot do this without first being born again. Remember, she can go directly to the Father through Jesus. No confession to another person is needed. No need to say a certain number of prayers for forgiveness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hate God so much that the miss the forest for the trees and won't go. So, no, everyone does not want to go. That’s ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may seem ridiculous, but unfortunately it's true. Not all will accept salvation throu8gh Jesus. Instead, they reject God, or try to "work" their way through salvation by doing good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a terrible reputation in town. In addition to being intimate with certain types of people god would not condone. Hi Amy, Just love her and care for her and when she has reached the end of that terrible road she will know you are there for her. That is where God is, loving us as we all walked through the darkness that entrapped us. Be patient, be kind, don`t judge, be there for her and as you pray the darkness will be exposed to her and she will come willingly. Trust God, don`t condemn, (she knows already) wait till the `cup of bitterness `is full and then she will cry for help. praying, Marilyn. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when we know/believe on Christ as our Savior, then our lives will show a change... because of the Holy Spirit's work in our hearts. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to have screaming and yelling matches. Nor do I want physical altercations to continue. It’s a real struggle. I want the best for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation from my life, screaming and yelling matches and physical alterations are usually the result of both parties trying to force each other to be what they want them to be instead of encouraging them to become what God intended them to be and loving them for whatever it turns out to be. Gentle guidance accomplishes more than brute force, and then only when it is done to encourage personally seeking God's path and not the worldly one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
