I need help! I need advice!

[jesusfreak_2008]

I am a born again believer in our Lord Jesus Christ and my dad is not a believer. he doesn't like me going to church all of the time and im scared that he may make me stop going,possibly by taking my car keys away from me. when he can, he puts me down just because i believe in Christ. he calls me names because he doesn't like who i believe in. he threatens to kick me out of the house because he doesn't like this one bit...but i have no where to go. Please, i need as much prayers and support as i can get. I mean, what would you do if you were in my shoes...or if you were in a similiar situation like mine, what did you do?

Please help me! I need it!
Your sister in Christ,

Heavenly Father.. Maker of All.. Worthy & True..

I lift my sister up to you, Lord..

Comfort her, Jesus.. Strengthen her walk with You, oh God.. Give her wisdom and knowledge to handle this situation with her father.. Let her know when to walk away.. to avoid confrontation..

I pray for her father, my God.. Soften his heart, oh Lord.. so he ceases to condemn my sister because of her belief in You.. Open his ears to hear.. give him eyes to see.. a mind to understand.. and a heart to love, Abba Father..

I ask this in the Name of Your Precious Son, Jesus.. Amen..

I will con.'t to pray for you Hontestley I think I would start to get a job save up and move out. Think about moving in w/ another realtive? Wuestion can he take your keys away I mean since your no longer a minor??

 

[willcoach]

I've been in your shoes JesusFreak just remember to honor your parents in your case your father just remember to talk to him but do not criticize I used to do it to mine. But always show love it is hard to do but through time and a heaping helping of patientice fruit it will come stay in your church and increase your fellowship it will help make you stronger in your walk. It definately puts me in perspective when I hear what goes on in a family I used to think I was alone but when I hear others I just want to say my heart goes out to you Jesus Freak if you have something to say PM if you must .

Well you are 20 years old so what I recommend is to move out. If you can't do that and he takes your car keys away then call your church and let them know and see if they can arrange for the church bus to pick you up and if that is not possible then maybe they can have someone in your area pick you up and take you.

 

[beautifullyfallen]

Pray about it and mabey see if He'll listen to why your a christian??? Mom mom isn't a christian but I'm warming her up to the Idea of Becoming Christian.

 

[SanctiSpiritus]

God Bless You! You must pray, hold fast, and keep your head up. Do not shirk your heavenly Father for your earthly one.

 

[frankwernal]

I think your only choice here is to move out. Unfortunately some people cannot be reached, no matter how hard we try. It's always painful when it's a family member, but perhaps when they're a little older and their experiences have changed them, you will be able to try again.

Heavenly holy Father, Please in the name of Jesus touch her dad and let him see that without a shadow of a doubt You are God and You are Lord. Please Father draw this man near to you. God please lift this lil sister up Holy Father. Give her wings to fly Lord. Lord draw the entire house close to you. Let each corner of the home be guarded. Let the roof and the floors. Lord God, please here this young lady please Lord. Lord and here my battle cry.... Jesus IS Lord!!! Let it be her battle cry for eternity. Anoint her Lord. By the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

My heart goes out to you. I don't think you should move out unless you really have to or he makes you leave, but you could plan ahead (perhaps asking a friend you trust if you could stay with them if you had to).

I think deep inside everyone knows the truth, but their pride won't let them admit it. Seeing someone else find the truth makes them confront this in themselves and they don't like it, so rather than admit they are wrong, they attack the person who is showing them the truth. Try to show him Jesus without being patronising or condescending. You could well be the link in the chain that leads him to life. You will be in my prayers.
