Saving A Household

Did you know that it's God's will for our loved ones to be saved? 2nd Peter 3:9 tells us that God doesn't want anyone to be lost. It's his desire that people change their hearts and come to repentance.

Many times family members ask Jesus to come into their hearts because of the prayers and example of just one individual. How does your walk and talk speak to your family? Are you luke warm and riding the fence or can they see your desire to be Christ like and serve him?

Here are somethings that we can do to encourage our family members to find Jesus:

1. Live righteous (1st Timothy 4:12; 1st Peter 3:1)
2. Intercede on their behalf (Ezekiel 22:30-31; Job 22:29)
3. Obey God (Matthew 28:18-20)
4. Claim the scriptures for them (Acts 2:39; Psalm 102:28; Jeremiah 31:16-17)
5. Share the Gospel (Romans 10:14-15)
6. Take authority over Satan (2nd Corinthians 4:3-4)

Remember, as much as you love your unsaved loved ones, God loves them even more!

Girl, I am sooo proud of you!!! Keep on pressin' on! The Lord will bless you. You may think it's nothing or it's just for me and my friends at church or my lost friends, but you'd be WRONG! It's bigger than you think and somebody you don't even know will get something from it. Hopefully, SALVATION. I love you, sister.
