Hello Everyone.  I can feel the attacks of the devil against me now like never before I think, andI know this is because I am still standing up for Jesus and Truth, as the Holy Ghost leads me in letting my life be a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ in ways. My mother and brother got really angry at me just for telling my brother who has cancer that a friend from his past, who is now a born-again Christian on fire for the Lord, was praying for him. This is my oldest brother, Tom, who is 57 now and an unbeliever. Also, the persecution and criticism is happening at times, and I recently got called some names I do not wish to repeat, just because I said I believed Joyce Meyer is doing a lot of good and helping many people through her ministry.  After praying in the Spirit, He brought me to some verses that speak and teach about how the world hates us who are believers. I think when my mom recently told me I may have to find someplace else to live if I believe some things. I have been praying alot in the Spirit, and know for certain this is an attack against me, and since I have been praying more, I have noticed the persecution and criticism has lessened some, however, at times my brother will start using curse words and tell me to go away, and my mom does not talk to me much anymore unless I start a conversation. I know this is to be expected because I am in the center of the will of God for my life, and because in these last days a lot of deception is out there, and the devil is working overtime to keep people out of heaven and in a state of delusion I believe. My prayer request is that I will continue to be strong, and let the Holy Ghost lead me in everything I say, especially to relatives, and I am hopeful as I obey God, He will provide a way for me to live elsewhere soon, and be financially independent. I know I must never deny Jesus, pray I will keep exhibiting Him in my life. Thanks much, and God bless everyone!! Sincerely in Christ, JohnS

           I have a understanding of what your going through as when I was younger my family was against me. My dad almost hit me but missed I knew that was the Lord.  After being a minister by the Holy Spirit for many years, and helping others many are very independant and have their own opinions.  If we are going through trials and much tribulation that is a blessing from God.  James 1:2-4  rejoice  and count it all joy  when going through these trials and temptations. I added a few words for clarity.  I see a hungry Christian who needs someone to help them by feeding them the truth of the word. I want you to sit down when I tell you this. have you heard that expression before. I want you to know that I love people and ministers of God. But when they teach heresy and error I part company.  Meyers and many other TV evangelists teach Jesus died on the cross as a sinner. It shocked me to when I heard it. I had strait As a Rhema student for two years when I heard this heresy. I was like you extremely hungry for truth.  Jesus they say had to be born again.  In answer to your problem at home you are being pressed to give a bad testimony. At the same time God is using that to draw out to your atention the things he wants to remove out of your life.  anger, not love enemies, need of endurance, need longsuffer and patience, arguing, need of love, need of continual praise and much more. These afflictions surface what we are and cause us to repent and realize we can't do it on our own. good prayer father I am in need of much grace and strength and I praise you for your help and guidence. feed me Lord in the word and give me peace. my faith in you will increase as I cleanse of all bad habits and quirks. I praise you because I am your child. lead me Lord to those who teach with total commitment only the truth.  I will spend more time in the word and less on the devil vision.  One eyed monster.  Lord protect me from the demons that manifest in my family for they are not free yet and I love them and act towards them so as they can see my peace and joy which I manifest by faith. Thank you Lord that you are bringing me into the fruits of the Spirit according to Gal.5:22.  And you are transforming my mind and thinking Rom.12:1-3  to think like how would Jesus handle things.   Stay close to the Holy Spirit.  Get his word down in your heart.  God bless  read my blogs for comfort. love brodav9
