My daughter is 15 and, for the last year, she has really been struggling with worldly things that are interfering with her relationship with Christ. I think things are slowly coming to a head for her and she is awaiting the big explosion. I know she's going to be severely hurt when the other shoe drops.
She's involved with a guy who openly admits to being very confused as to what to believe. I believe he's been in so many different denominations, including some heavy involvement with a Jehovah's Witness church. His mother is dealing in the occult now and my daughter has told me there is not a very good "atmosphere" in their home. I'm talking spiritual warfare here.
While I would love to very firmly put my foot down and deny her the ability to see this guy, I think it would be a very bad move to make. I feel it would drive her right into the worldly things she is struggling so hard against.
I have invited this guy to our youth events and he won't even step foot into a church. He's uncomfortable on the sidewalk of the church. He is a very nice kid and we are "witnessing" to him by example. I would dearly love to break the yoke of demons I sense around this kid.
So, I guess I am asking for your prayers and any advice on how to move this kid away from the spiritual darkness he's in and, by association, my daughter. She is aware of the sense of darkness she encounters at his home and has expressed her concern over it, so she isn't totally unaware of what needs battled.
Thanks, everybody.
