Some of you may have not like The Passion of the Christ. Maybe you don't even like Gibson. You might even be hoping He gets what he deserves.
I myself was very moved by the Passion of the Christ. I own the DVD. I also believe he is a brother in the Lord who is having struggles and even if you believe he is not "saved" I am asking that you join me in prayer for him.
Back in 2004 Mel admitted that he had suicidal thoughts. Now I have read in the news today someone close to him said that Gibson is trying to stay alive. Can you imagine his shame being in the public eye?
I hope this doesn't turn into a debate. If you don't like Gibson please ignore this thread and don't pray. I was actually looking for a website that would encourage prayer for Mr. Gibson but I could only find old sites that were asking for people to pray for him concerning the TPOTC. If you know or any current sites up for prayer and encouragement for Mr. Gibson, please let me know.
So because I couldn't find any I decided to start a prayer thread for Mel.
Here's my 1st prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ. You are full of mercy and compassion. You said that the one who comes to You You shall in no wise cast out. You never cast out any sinner who cries out to you for mercy and help. We have all been there Father. We have all asked for Your mercy and have obtained it.
Yeshua I ask with tears that you would do all you can to express your unconditional love to this man right now. What Satan has meant for evil I pray that you would turn it into good. Thank you for granting true repentance to his heart.
I pray that your Church would now be the hands, feet and heart of Jesus. Surround him with people who will uplift and encourage him.
I also pray that he would be able to talk to the jewish leaders as he requested and that the chasm would be bridged.
I am also asking that you would protect his mind from thoughts of suicide. Give him a healthy mind. Give him hope for his future.
I ask this in the all powerful name of Jesus Christ.
Amen!
