Pray for my younger brother to be receptive to Christianity

[Dexter2020]

Pray for my younger brother to be receptive to Christianity and led him away from the devilish Buddhism/toaist and idol worship and the abstinence from certain meat. His stubbornness and harden of heart and even justification that that is his God which will be burnt in hell eventually if he don't repent and by disbelief in Jesus and just justify his sin of idol worship and abstinence from certain meat and even hang them on his neck as used certain mini Buddhist books and cloth full with his idol inscription and place it under my late grandmother alter to be discarded, my mother and father they are allowing it but I disagree and told them they refused to belief what can I do just to see them burn in hell and deny Jesus until I don't dare to go inside the study where he place his idols and he believe in that monk from Taiwan and indulgences in their practises.

We understand your concern and heartache for your younger brother and your parents. It's important to remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only by believing in Jesus Christ that we can be saved to have forgiveness of sin and eternal life with God. As it is written "in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" WEB

First, let's address the issue of idol worship. God's word is clear that we should not have any other gods before Him, nor should we worship idols or images as seen in Exodus 20:3-5 WEB "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, WEB, your God, am a jealous God,".

Your brother's practice of Buddhism/Taoism, idol worship, and abstinence from certain meats for religious reasons are not in line with biblical principles of Christianity. Regarding SCRIPTURAL teaching about food, Jesus taught "There is nothing from outside of the man, that entering into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man..." WEB

Now, let's pray for your brother and your parents. We encourage you to follow in the Apostle Pauls commands in 1 Corinthians 7:11-16 regarding unbelieving spouses which we believe is applicable to family as well. "but if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?... For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through the brother. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy." WEB
God uses us to witness His love and life to our families. Do not cast your brother's idols out because you need your family to see Jesus love in you first. Let them see your love for them as you interact with them. However, do NOT participate or sanction the family's use of idols. Pray to God to open their hearts to forgiveness and eternal life with Jesus and the Father.
Let us pray together.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the younger brother of Dexter2020. Lord, we pray that You soften his heart and open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Remove the scales of deception and idolatry that have blinded him, and draw him to Yourself. Help him to see that You are the only true God, sovereign, and loving, not just a god or value system to pick among others. he deserves to know You personally. Your Kingdom is forever, and You are the only one who died for our forgiveness of sin to be reunited to God and have eternal life

We also pray for Dexter2020's parents, that You would convict their hearts and reveal to them the reality they are undermining God's sovereignty by allowing these idol practices to be introduced into Dexter2020's grandmothers altar. Christ says Choose ye this day whom you shall serve. Joshua 24:15 WEB

Lord, give Dexter2020 wisdom and courage to stand firm in his faith, and to be a light to his family. Help him to speak the truth in love, and to be a living testimony of Your grace and power of forgiveness.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who is the only one that can save us and purify us to have a relationship with God the father. Our sins separate us from God and condemn us to hell. We need forgiveness from Jesus Christ. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." WEB Romans 6:23 WEB.

We pray and believe that by the Grace of Jesus Christ this family will have forgiveness and eternal life in Jesus Christ and the separation of Dexter2020 from his family will stop. We stand on the front lines of this spiritual war for the souls of your family with Dexter2020 with the righteousness of Jesus Christ and with the power of the Holy Spirit indwelt in us. We know that God wants everyone to be saved and know the the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let us trust The Holy Spirit to work on the hearts and minds of this dear family as the word of God is planted in their hearts in Dexter2020 by prayer and acts of mercy. We ask for wishes and desires to be given to Dexter2020.

Finally, if Dexter2020 has not believed in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin and eternal life in God the Father let Dexter2020 do this RIGHT NOW.
It is only Jesus that can save or mediate us to God to access him from hell. In John 8:23-24 Jesus speaking to the Pharisees "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins." WEB Pray for forgiveness and eternal life right now. "Lord, I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, and that He died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins so that we can be reunited with you, the creator of universe. I believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead so I can have eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ. I receive this eternal life, and I ask You to forgive my sins and help me to live for You. In Jesus' name, I pray."

You are now a child of God sealed for the day of redemption and part of the unseen Church of Jesus the resurrected Christ. For it is written in Ephesians 1:13
Scripture "in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation--in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit," WEB.
Please Let Dexter2020 and others know that our identity is in Jesus Christ and not our circumstances or nationalities. "See Galatians 3:28 Scripture "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." WEB
We pray that we are forgiven, and we forgive our own debtors of all their debts against us. Also, we pray for the pain of our mental, spiritual, financial, and physical losses in Jesus Christ name.
We look forward to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit throughout the church body until the day of the rapture when we see Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Dexter2020,

We're here for you and your family. We understand the struggle you're going through with your younger brother and the concern you have for his soul. We want to encourage you with these words from the Bible, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15, ESV).

Firstly, we want to remind you that God is in control. He sees your brother's heart and knows his every thought. Let's trust that God is working in his life, even when we can't see it. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9, ESV).

Secondly, let's not forget the power of prayer. We can't force your brother to accept Christ, but we can intercede for him. Let's pray that God would open his heart to the truth of the Gospel. "I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way" (1 Timothy 2:1-2, ESV).

Lastly, keep loving your brother. Show him the love of Christ through your actions and words. "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35, ESV).

Let's trust that God will work in your brother's heart, and let's be faithful in praying for him. We're here for you, Dexter2020. Let's lift up your brother together in prayer.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
