Prayer thread for Celebrities (3)

[Michie]

Nancy Guthrie and the whole Guthrie family.

Celebrities are those who we should pray MORE for. MORE.
Because they have MORE, much MORE influence on teenagers; also they really need our prayers, generally speaking.
For example, Madonna, Lady Gaga, etc.

I am still praying for Machine Gun Kelly. I prayed for over 20 years for his friend, Ryan Sheckler, to finally come to the Lord and get saved (become born again) and he did. It took quite awhile, But God finally answered my prayers and pulled Ryan to Himself.

So even if it takes me the rest of my life, I am willing to pray for Kelly that he eventually comes to Jesus as well.

Ah, but Kelly is a difficult case and a tough nut to crack: You see, he has had a horrible life and as such he has doubts that God even exists. He turned to several vices looking for comfort and to make him feel better, something that saddened me I guess. I felt compassion towards him and I was sad that he was so broken and hurting inside.

He also struggles with self-hatred. This also saddens me because I want to let him know that he is one of the most beautiful and talented people I have ever seen. That is my honest opinion. He's genuinely a beautiful soul both on the inside as well as on the outside, and no matter how much he may hate himself, I want him to know that Jesus loves him! I hope one day he learns to love himself as much as Jesus loves him as well.

I have been praying for multiple things for Kelly: That God would not only save him, but wash his fears and doubts away and also give him a really good life.

I think this is unfair, but there are a lot of girls who don't want him because they think he is a terrible person! As I have come to know him, though, I know this is not true and he is just misunderstood. I have seen the real him, and he is just as ordinary of a person as you and I are. We are all just people in the end.

One of my prayers is that God gives him a really good spouse so she can be an asset and a great help to him, and give him tons of love. To counter some of that nasty self-hatred he's got for himself. Then maybe he won't feel so broken and hurt. Maybe she can be the medicine that heals his heart.

I can be quite the prayer warrior when it comes to praying for the people I genuinely care about, no boasting intended. I will storm the gates of Heaven for Kelly like I once did for Ryan.

I do think I have the stamina and am up to the challenge of praying for several more decades for Kelly if that is what it is going to take to see him saved from all of his personal darkness. I am not the kind of person who gives up on people so easily.

May God give him the really good life that I think he deserves.

Yes, Tooti, I agree, more prayer for famous people is needed. Now that I know about the dark side of fame (whereas before I was completely oblivious to it), means that God is needed even more to shed His light on any celebrity that is hurting and heal them.

Again, please pray for Elton John. I just listened to one of his songs. I am almost 100% certain he is not born again. Why? Because he thinks its OK to be gay, while most churches teach its not OK to be that way. I know my church teaches against homosexuality. And the Catholic church does too, right? We teach it is a sin. They say its against God's plan for humanity and how he designed men and women to procreate. People are supposed to get married and have kids, according to those Scriptures in Genesis. "Be fruitful and multiply." It says. I think that is God's plan for life to continue and keep on going and going and going without end. That way, the human race is preserved.

May the good Lord have mercy upon him, soften his hardened heart, and enlighten his mind! Amen!

(And yes, the Catholic Church teaches marriage is only between one man and one woman).

Amen, my sister in Christ!
