My mom is a Methodist. My dad is an agnostic. My mom believes that God is love. She is a universal salvationist. She doesn't believe in Hell or the Devil. My parents are very nice people.
Wow, this is interesting,
First of all I am just a man, and so have all the frailties of a man, so therefore I am second guessing, But the Lord is the source of all truth and wisdom! What made me ask this question is a few scriptures came to mind, I have underlined the focus of the scripture-
Mark 9:
Jesus Heals a Boy with an Evil Spirit
(
Matthew 17:14-21;
Luke 9:37-42;
Luke 17:5-10)
14And when he came to
his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to
him saluted him.
16And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things
are possible to him that believeth.
24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him,
Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26And
the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.-
Here we see it is important to seek out by doing detective work, to find out what we are dealing with, coupled with prayer!
The other scripture is this
John 9:
Jesus Heals the Man Born Blind
1And as
Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from
his birth.
2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9Some said, This is he: others
said, He is like him:
but he said, I am
he.
10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
I believe that perhaps your illness is not just to do with you but also that Gods glory can be shown to your unbelieving father, and also to teach your mother that all the word of God is true, which states many places their is a devil and not all are saved- lest we accuse God of being a liar according to his word!!
Mat 4:4 Man does not live on bread alone but on
EVERY word that comes from Gods mouth! (that's the whole bible, not just the bits we choose).
Now if you agree, I believe you should print or copy this out and show it to your parents, that they bear witness and Gods glory my be made manifest. If your healing does not come, then nothing has been lost, but I believe we should follow this, If you can see what I am getting a picture of what God plans on doing and why he has been doing it,here.
I ASK ALL CHRISTIANS THAT AGREE TO PRAY FOR THIS MANS HEALING THAT GOD"S GLORY CAN BE REVEALED!
