Please pray

[Autumn]

I live with my fiance and his family.  His mother (the spiritual leader of the family) says that she is a Christian, but continues in sin.  She does not give herself over to God's will, and says really odd things.  For example, "God made me profane...it's His fault that I am this way."  and "God still uses me...so I know that I'm a Christian."  She pokes fun at me too because I do not curse or anything. 

I want to see her so in love with God that she realizes the power of the New Birth.  Being a Christian goes beyond accepting Christ.  If you truly do this, you have a desire to do God's will.  Eventually you realize we must be a living sacrifice and let the Holy Spirit work through us.  We were already crucified with Christ...why follow the ways of the dead self? 

She's been a Christian for some time, and I've spoken these things with her...and she seems to get it, but then 2 minutes later (literally) she'll make some perverse joke.  It is really disturbing. 

Please pray that she will see the power Christ gave us, and use it.  That she will be a living example for her children.  Also, that if God wants to speak through me I will not be affraid.

Yes, I did!!!

  I thought that I had posted a praise about that, but maybe not.  Thank you everyone that prayed.    That was truly the most EASY interview I have EVER had.  I went in there, the woman told me about the job, and told me she wanted me to start ASAP!

I start July 3rd.  I'm still really nervous, but I want God to use me there. 

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

 

[Blessed-one]

I'll be praying.

Joining in the prayers, for your fiance's mom, and for you to be used mightily by God!

Just one thing, Autum (what a pretty name!)---what is your fiance like? Is he a godly man? Is he capable of being your "Joshua"? Does he treat his mom well, without being a "momma's boy"? Just concerned for your future...



Matt7:17-20

Saying a prayer now Autumn

Here's a saying that I always liked, maybe it will your Mother in law.

What you are is Gods gift to you.
What you make of yourself is your gift to God.

and a little something else. God gives us the gift of life, He doesn't make us any certain way, He leaves it up to us to change our ways, but he will give us the courage and strength to change if we ask him for it.

I pray God will give you the courage, strength, and wisdom to help open her eyes to the truth, and give her a better of understanding of him and his ways.

Father I am standing in agreement with this prayer.

My fiance loves the Lord.  He doesn't get along really well with his mother.  I think there have been many years of manipulation that he has dealt with from her, and he has just had it.  He longs to live on his own, but he cannot move until he finishes college.  (If he is not dependant upon his parents he no longer goes to school for free.  He doesn't want us to enter into our marraige with a baggage of debt.) 

If you want to add another thing to your prayer list...perhaps you will pray that he forgives her, and no longer holds on to his anger.

Thank you for your prayers.

 

[Autumn]

Thank you all for your prayers.  I will continue to pray as well.

I truly believe God will work this out in her life.
