I have family and others that need Jesus. Need Salvation.
In the past, long past, I was a whining distraught person worried to the max about my loved ones.
Then the Holy Spirit came to me and exploded heart knowledge that has set me free. All glory to God.
One is God is worthy to be believed. No other anything in this world is more trust worthy than our God. When He speaks there should be absolutely no doubt. His Word is True to perfection.
So, when I am praying for a person I choose to believe that the Lord hears my prayers, is acting actively in that persons life. I am lifting them up to the Lord.
Now, I can have peace that passes all understanding because the Lord says to ask and I will receive. Glory to God. So, I am constantly praying and holding my loved ones up to the Lord. Warfare!
Another gem the Holy Spirit showed me was that my time is not God's time. I would have people saved at the wrong time! My time. But as I look back when the Holy Spirit revealed Jesus to me it was His Perfect Timing! I had to go through the things I had to go through for Him to bring me to the point where He could open my eyes and heart to receive all of who He was. It was awesome.
So, why should I want less for my loved ones? Good question. But I fretted and worried in the past to bring forth no fruit.
The way to please my Lord is to Believe Him. The way to see fruit is to believe Him. Spending time in His Word so that we will hide His Word in our hearts that we may not sin.
Faith is just believing that what God says He will do. He will actually do. Glory to God. We serve a God who is true to His Word. And I believe that our faith releases the Holy Spirit to do His work in our loved ones. Whereas not believing or trusting hinders His work.
So, I am continuing to have the joy of the Lord no matter what I see because I am at peace knowing my God is really in control. The ones I pray and stand in the gap for - warfare etc. is being brought to the place of true Salvation. I can shout Hallelujah, my God reigns. And when doubt tries to come, and it will and it does, I can choose to believe my awesome God.
Our prayer is, Lord increase our faith because You worthy.
All glory to God!
