The Angels in Heaven are Singing!; Mom has accepted Christ

Hi all,

I want to share with you all a praise report. My mom has accepted Christ, on July 4! It has been years and years of prayer. My mom was a Catholic, raised us as Catholic as well. But after we grew up she stopped going to church. She had heard the gospel message many times from me and my brother after we accepted the Lord in our 20's.

But she kept putting it off, and even had alot of animosity and not pleasant things to say about our new faith. Well, over the last few months she has fallen ill. She is undergoing tests now and we should know the results soon, in a few weeks time. This is looming over my head, but I want to focus more on the positive, in that she accepted Christ. It's been a difficult last couple of months as the thought of life and death, of one's own mortality certainly has caused her to pause and think about her destiny.

All week I cried out to the Lord for her soul, praying alot, I was physically exhausted. There was a heaviness this past week, almost as if I felt it was a battle against the spirit of darkness because the gloom, the sadness seemed to envelope me. I literally felt that a big cement block was on my chest and I couldn't breathe. Well Friday night I went to sleep, in my heart I knew she would accept the Lord the next day. I asked the Lord for words to say.

The next day was July 4th, we spent an awesome time together. I led her to Christ and she was eager to hear me read the word to her. I just wanted to make a public proclamation and praise report for the Lord's goodness and faithfulness in answering my prayer. Thank you Jesus! Thank you for your mercies and gift of salvation!

Also, would you please join me in prayer for my mother's physical healing in her body.

Thank you !

Hallelujah!!
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph 6:11-12

Thank you for sharing this with us. You are seeing the fruit of your hard labor. You never gave up on her and that is a praise in it self. May God bless your family and increase his word in your moms heart.

:praise God :applause that is awesome!!

I'll just interject that my neice accepted the Lord as well a couple weeks ago!! My brother and his wife are Catholics, pretty much non-practicing, but Catholic nonetheless.......Poor Ciara didn't know anything about Catholics or otherwise, but she did know she needed Jesus !! Our God is awesome!!
Isaiah 57:1The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
2He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

The Lord is so good and it is so encouraging and a burden lifted when family or friends come to know the Lord. The hour is late and the Lord is still at work, the souls are coming in ! :cheer
