There is hope

[kittylover0991]

I am ones of those people that have a hard time believing what seems impossible, many times, even if God says it. I knew that God could do anything, but I didn't think my family would ever get saved. My brother, in this case, is almost 20, has no hope for the future and therefore doing nothing with his life, barely made it through high school, didn't make the Marines because of a mild social disorder(aspergers), hate church, wants nothing to do with God, and is a proclaimed atheist. My brother, for the past seven and ahalf years that I have been at church, has done nothing but curse God, laugh at what I believe and put it down, and honestly, he would rather burn the church than to ever set foot in it. I had no hope of him ever getting saved, and also, I have never really prayed a lot for my family's salvation because I have never really had the faith. Praise the Lord, however, my church family has...

Well, no, before I go any further, my brother has not accepted the Lord yet or seem to be considering it, however, my brother has been asking questions about God, why I do certain things, and he asked one time, "Well, aren't we all heaven material" !!!!!!! This is my brother who has shreded the tracts I used to try to hand out.. the one who has hid my bible and threatened to rip it up... has cursed God... and he asks a question that implies that he might believe in heaven.. or believe it might be possible??!!!!

This is simply meant to say... there is hope for our lost loved ones.. unfortunately, it takes a lot of time.. I pray my brother will be get saved before it is eternally too late.. however... I am writing this to say.. there is hope.. keep on praying! and if you aren't praying for whatever reason.. there is no time like the present! God is good!!

My dad has so much head knowledge about God. Sometimes he surprises me with what he knows but he is not a "born again" Christian. He disagrees with almost everything that I say about God, Israel and other things of God. He gets uncomfortable when people are praying and talking about God. During a NASCAR race there was a preacher praying for the safety of the drivers. My dad got up and left the room because it made him uncomfortable. I got him other Christian stuff that is just gathering dust in his room. He often went to church as a child but never received Jesus as Lord and Savior.

We were watching a story on the evening news about Christian wrestling. He said that he is totaly against it. He said we don't need more family friendly entertainment. In my mind I thought totaly different. I was thinking that that wrestling organization was trying to win souls for Christ. I was right but my father was talking loudly over the TV because he didn't want to hear it. The Christian message just makes him uncomfortable.

It is so frustrating having a loved one that doesn't want anything to do with God. I hope that your brother gets saved. There might be more hope for your brother because I am sure that in his heart he knows that he is wrong. My father thinks that he is a Christian but by his actions I know otherwise. It is frustrating.

Here is something I would like to share with you that came from Pastor Benny Hinn

"But if our gospel be hidden, it is hidden from them that are lost; in whom tha god of this world has blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them." 2Corinthians 4:3-4

"We have power and spiritual authority, not over the will of a loved one, but over the enemy (Luke 10:19).

He went on to say in essence, when we pray for our loved one we can bind those spirits of darkness that has them blinded as we pray for their salvation. We cannot change their will, but we can change the spiritual climate over their minds and the Lord, by His Holy Spirit, and goodness, can draw them to the cross. No one comes to the cross except the Holy Spirit draws him.

Keep praying for your brother and watch the Lord change his life right before your eyes :-)

scuze me a moment while I shout !!! :-) Praise You Lord! Thank You for the salvation of our lost loved ones! Thank You for household salvation!!

"One persons walk with the Lord can blanket an entire household with favor and rescue them from damnation."

Be cautious of Benny Hinn. He was probably right in that situation because he used scripture to back him up. Not many people trust him because he says many things that are not scriptural. Charles Stanley, Adrian Rogers and David Jeremiah are just a few that I know that I can trust. Please don't be offended but Benny Hinn isn't very reliable. I don't trust him at all.
