The Unsaved Ones in My Family



The Unsaved Ones :Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. ( Ps. 55:22 KJV) I want to share a true story with everyone today. This actually happened in our home but it has taken alot prayer time, study time in getting us through the events that had taken place with us as parents whom love our grown children very much and have shared with each one about what we believe , why we believe, and how we came to know Jesus Christ as our Savior and been through it all with our children in taking them through our testimony of Jesus Christ saving mercy,grace and the sinner's prayer. We have come to share with our children what God has shown us to be a christian family by our witness in walking with our Precious Sweet Jesus Christ In Salvation, Faith Statements, Purposes, family structure, fulfilling their own purpose unto God in having a committed life unto the Lord God. And to keep attending a local church so they can hang out in fellowship with people thier own age groups in growing together in serving him in having such a relationship that deep with Jesus Christ that as a person is totally committed unto him in each child's own life. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Not of works, lest any man should boast. ( Eph.2:8,9 KJV). Many of people have come out of a very family dysfunctional backgrounds like ourselves and have showed them not so christian values as they had been growing up . Only one of those grown children was with one of both sets of parents at different times in thier lives. The children had either was in the worldly systems in different homes, by the way of the states care or was adopted out with the help of the fathers. Mom wasn't in the care of God during those years, but had sought out help for self in order to one day be a true parent before them more than what they had witnessed or had not been their at all. In body, mind, spiritual, physcially. I just wasn't available for them during those years but some of them did witness my struggles as I had literally gone through them at one time or another. Which I have to admit some of those times was very hard and stressful on them growing - up around our home, at least for the ones whom was indeed around me. I can only imgaine such horror it was for them being in the home as I had gone through many treatments just to be able to function at all in society at large during those tender ages as they were growing -up it had to have a been a bad nightmere for them but in reality for them that often times I wished that it could have been better for them during those years. Now today that has totally changed I'm not that same person at all ! I had gone through some times to say the least in finding through aquiring male partner's, aquiring possessions , experiencing pleasures, gaining prestige, power, and even the religious experiences of which had come to naught. Those things just didn't fulfill me at all until I had expereinced my real value and purpose unto Jesus Christ in my own life ! As we all know these scriptures that they had come alive in me personally ( John 3:16; Jer.31:3; Eph.1:4; 1John 4:8-10) I had come to know Jesus Christ and I deeply fell in love with him and knew just how much I desired him more than I could have ever imagined and learned to enjoy him on a personal level like I've never had before. I felt like he gave himself to me and through evry joint and marow that's in me and to see just how he had made me through His creative power , even those it was through my parents ... he was truly in me . No matter what I even had thought about before that divine appointment that he came into my life. ( Gen.1:27,28; 1Tim.6:17; John 10:10). I had to live in spiritual harmony unto him and it just didn't happen over - night it had taken lengths of time in learning the purpose and learning so much of His love that hath given such great benefits that I had come to know deeply within me and my own life (Rom.8:1,6,26,28,31,39; Phil. 4:13,19; John 8:32,36). Man ! This is what God had attended for me all along ! I had been under a veil for so many, many years and had not even realized it ! Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD ( Ezek.13:20-23) KJV. But today it's such a difference in seeing it the way it was compared to today ! I thank the Lord for giving me a chance at a true life in Him and I praise Him forever more ! All that ever did in my own life was being in Sin which kept me from our very precious God it totally seperated me from him that I couldn't ever begin to see those truths unless that veil came crashing down in my own life in becoming a child of the most high God. Nothing has ever kept us in being in that kind of a state as that had in my life and such a chasm that nothing will ever again keep me separted from him again. I deeply love him more than I can acknowledge before you today . Words so far from me that only Jesus Christ can hear deeply within my life. I can honstly say this for sure unto you ..." When our relationship unto our Sweet very precious Jesus isn't at all right, it has already been a very heavy problems in all areas of our life ; being single, married, divorced, careers, relationshps, friends, finances, and all deep emotional problems that just will not dissapear before us. Until we meet them head on in the Lord God. The penelty has to be paid in all of those sins and coping skills in finally acknowledge that only Jesus Christ and one's need of Him before changes can begin in all the people life can be able to see change in there own life. Then restoration can begin for all of those penelties in us tha only Jesus will and has taken care of in our life .. In which he's already done in our behalf in such a demonstration that one can ever could see until that veil comes down before them. ( Heb.10:11,12 ; Rom.5:12 ;John 14:6) After all, God came down to this earth as a human being in order to bring us back into relationship with himself. If there had been any other way would have worked, Jesus Christ, wouldn't have worked , nor have not to come to earth. The way to God is a person of Jesus Christ, whom is God in the flesh. Jesus Christ did this for us because He loves us and wants us to deeply love him and to know him in our life. ( Rom.5:8; 1 Pet.3:18) It's Jesus Christ whom does bridge the gap between God and mankind . Jesus Christ paid for our penelties for our sins in full ! God's justice was then competley satisfied ! That proof that God was very pleased with what His own Son did is the fact that Jesus Christ rose - up out of the grave and death itself had been defeated ! ( 1Cor.15:3,4). God rescued us all from that eternal seperation from Him.He had already has taken the initiative. He had loved us first. Now he's waiting on us to accept him personally in what he's already done for us, to put our compete trust in his provisions in our own salvation. Each of us has to admit complete defeat in one own life. ( Rom.3:10,23). Believe in him that's he's alive ( Rom. 10:9,10; Acts.4:12).Acept by faith God's gift of salvation which is Free ! We don't earn it ! ( Eph.2:8,9) . Our relationship to God is not restored by anything that we do, but on the basis of what Jesus Christ has already done for us all ! Commit one's own life to Jesus Christ, inviting Him to be the Lord and Master of one's own life. ( John 1:12,13 ; Rom. 10:9-11; Rom. 10:13 ). You can take these steps by praying a very simple prayer of committment to God. Prayer is simply talking to God. He's never concerned with words or what You say as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is only a suggestion as a prayer. " Dear Jesus, I need You. I thank you for dying on the cross for My sins. I realize I have literally gone my own way and have sinned against you, and I'm sorry for this. Please forgive My sins and give Me eternal life. Please help Me to understand more than I might know you. Please take control My life and make the kind of person that You would have me to be . I do accept your free gift of salvation. I thank You for making me Your child. Amen. If this truly express the desire of Your heart, then by faith pray this prayer right now, and Jesus Christ will come into your heart, then by faith right now, " Dear Jesus, your word has come from you unto me as it is has drawn into my heart by faith I accept it which is you in the word of faith it has come unto me by hearing the word and hearing by my faith which is your word by grace I'm saved and is not of myself that I have been saved but by your free gift By acknowledging my faith, trust, and it comes effectual by only comes through you in all knowledge, understanding to me by You that all good things only comes by you in me eternally forever as I shall life by faith for without it it's impossible to have it in doing so I believe in your death, saving grace, and that you have risen for me in that place and I thank you and forever praise your name. Amen. and Jesus Christ will come into your life as the Bible has promised. You have been declared " Not guilty" isn't that wonderful new's ! You have an eternal home in heaven and they are throwing you a party up in the heavens: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance ( Luke 15:7).
Now is the story: Our son came hm with someone and married her without sharing with us whom she believed in that surrounds her being, not uttering a word of it. After the wedding truths came out.We was utterly amazed and baffled in why he did it this way to say the least. He had been saved for only 2 to 3 weeks at a church over the road and showed us his new bible to us and whom gave it to him that day. To our amazment she is in " WICCA" of which we totally detest and don't want it in our home at all ! He had the crew of them here and we had our hands full and it seemed like a jezebel spirits in this home. But they didn't WIN ! Jesus Won ! We had people on the net praying for us as well as our close friends did in intercession, and churches keeping us in prayer too. We kept on having music on gospel , bible messages, taped video messages in our home non- stop ! Tv wasn't on at all when it came to regular shows! Cable off the air !!! I cornored my son and stearnly talked to him about the bible, beliefs, testimony, and how we life in this place, that he ought to have considered what he's done and why it's like this today in this place right now with all of the confusion that ought not have been in here ! That he ought to have considered talk with a pastor before he made this happen today, and he ought to have called him first to see what could and should have been done first. Then I showed him and shared with him how the Isreal did those very same things and pointed out to him just where it came from and to see for himself just what he done ! We wasn't happy with him at all but we have forgiven him for it and now he needed to bring it back to a God's home and to get them out of here now ! And that just what he did ! Sadly to say it taken him 2 weeks to do just that ! We had witnessed to them and all of them had bad headackes and wanted to leave this home they couldn't stay here with Godly things in our home, tv taped showed of preaching God's truths, radio Godly programs on all channels. and prayers going up for everyone in the home and by others.... they couldn't come in God's saving grace at all. The holy spirit was among us in keeping us close unto Jesus.Amen !We could feel his arms holding us dear while this had taken place. We literally walked in God's safety and he didn't let us stumble Prov.3:23). Thank You Jesus ! As we walked in the way of trouble, he revivied us ( Ps.138:7). he was our refuge in times of trouble( Ps.9:9); (Ps.37:7). Now it's back to being God's home with every evil things cast out after they all left in cleansing our home, and it's surrounding outside too ... Ahhhh ! Thank You Jesus ! We did all that is stated but they didn't recieve Jesus at all ! That's on a very sad note to end with. But it's truths ! They wanted to stay with thier God but we know what does work and today I'm asking each of you to keep the grown children in your prayers and us as well.
