Had dr appointment today and baby is growing right along:)
S - Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Anti Christ is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know the last hour has come. These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.
O - This is an example of how we can be sure of those who are really and truly believers. When you have Christ in you, there is a desire to be like him and be with others who have him in them. You can only fake it for a little while and then the true colors come out.
- I can get really stressed out with people like this. Sometimes it's people who think they are "christians" but they really just don't get it and no matter how much you try to help they fall away because Christ wasn't in them to begin with. THen it's the people who know they aren't believers but still try to make others feel they are and then they fall away because they can't keep the lie.
A - What I've learned lately is not to get frustrated or stressed with them but to pray that the Holy Spirit continues to call their hearts and I'm available to help when they come asking. I'm not in control of their spirit, God is the only one who can change them. When they choose to leave I cannot stop them but just pray specifically for them.
P - Lord please place heavy conviction on David, Holly, and Jacque's hearts tonight. If they are your children I pray that they will listen to the Spirit calling their hearts to confession. Lord if they aren't your children I pray that the Spirit strongly calls their hearts to repentance. Help me to not get lazy in praying for them and to be ready to answer questions if they ask and ready to interact with them if you call me to that. Thank you for not giving up on us when we fall.
I'm praying for David, Holly, and Jacque too. A-men that He never gives up on us! Glad to hear this baby girl is doing well!
