Praise the Lord my fellow christian, I was just looking on the internet this morning for some scriptures to confess. I found your website and saw your plea for some one to stand along with you in the gap for your unsaved Father. The Lord has been speaking to my heart the last couple of days and the words that I hear the Holy Ghost speaking is never give up. So I want to encourage you with Mark 10:46-52 as Jesus was leaving Jericho blind Bartimaeus sat by the highway begging, and when he heard that it was Jesus he began to cry out and say Jesus thou son of David, have mercy on me. Here is the interesting part many people charged him to hold his peace, Barimaeus had heard about the healing power of our savior and he had dertermined in himself that if Christ could heal others he could heal him. He had crossed over into spiritual faith, he didn't care what anybody had say, his mind was made up to trust in Jesus, no at that moment could make him doubt Jesus, so he cried out the more. The Bible says that Jesus stood still not because of the loud cries, because I am sure other people were crying out for healing, but it was faith, the cry of faith made the difference. Hebrews 11:6 it faith that pleases God and makes his promises a reality in our lives. The same people who told him to hold his peace are now telling to come because Jesus commanded that he be called. The man cast off or away his beggars garment or the garment that gave him a blind beggars indentity. Why? because he had made up his mind that Jesus could heal him and he now walking in a spritual level of faith and believed that healing was possible. He cast off his slave mentality, he cast off the bondage that had a strong hold on his life, he cast off the image of failure, he cast off the image of defeat and faith caused him to put on a new identity, one that could relate to the savior, on that would make him stop and stand still to meet the need of this man. Christ asked him what wilt thou that I should do and the blind man said unto him Lord that I might receive my sight. and Jesus said untohim God thy way thy faith hath made thee whole. Never give up, God is always on time and it is now coincidence that I am writing you this morning faith says keep believing all things are possible to them that believe, all things will work together for them that love God to them that are called according to his purpose. I stand with you for your Father, I believe that God has already made away for your Father before the foundation of the world just as he has for you and I. Don't worry about family memebers, don't worry about anything cast care on the Lord for he careth for you. Keep praying, keep praising, when they speak negative cry out more, when they resist God, you keep submitting and the devil will flee, when they condemn, you remind yourself that in God is no comdemnation, keep standing I stand along with you , no devil in hell can stop the sovereign power of our Lord and Savior, and where two or three are gathered together in my name there I shall me in the midst, I touch and agree with you right in the highest name afforded to man. The name of Jesus, the name endowed with all power over the enemy and his minions and all power Jesus said in Luke 10:19 has been given to you and I as covenant believers God cannot lie. God bless you and may heaven smile upon you. keep standing and don't worry about what the doctor has to say, your family or anyone else it is not to late for your father. God would not put it in your heart to pray for him if it was. Remember our faith cannot fail!! faith always brings a good report....
