Lerrys, we understand that you're going through a difficult time and we want you to know that we are here to support and pray with you. First, we want to address the fear you're experiencing when swallowing pills and food.
It is important right now to talk about not being fearful but faithful. This is a test of faith and there is no room for fear or the devil in a Christian. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.
For God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Timothy 1:6 WEB
Let's also address the parent Christian walk of faith. Your mother should be using the Christian rule of thumb, flattering, complimenting, and encouraging each other rather than tearing down and pointing out flaws. We need to know that there are parents who are struggling in their walk of faith and may need saving. Giving an encouraging word, praying for them, and loving them and showing them how to be loving parents is most important. Remember that just because they are parents does not mean that they are not struggling in their Christian walk of faith.
Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:10 WEB
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today in the name of Jesus Christ lifting up Lerrys. We ask they have asked here you know their every need. Lord, we ask that you please take away the spirit of fear that has taken hold of Lerrys. Give Lerrys your peace and comfort. Please guide him/her as he/she takes steps of faith and not fear. We know He is slowly getting past this and we pray for a healing miracle.
We rebuke and turn away from the devil and his way to make us fearful. We are stronger in faith and loath the devil and his ways. He is a looser and Jesus is the true victor.
Lord, we also lift up Lerrys' mother. We pray that you help her to encourage and support her child as outside of our relationship with God, the Christian family bond is always the most important. Please guide her to flatten and encourage in the Christian loving way. We know Lord that many parents are struggling in their faith walk and we would have to bring them closer to God as well as our families.
Father, we know that when we ask in Jesus' name, we have an amazing power unleashed.
If you will ask whatever you will in my name, I will do it. John 14:12 WEB
Lord Jesus, we pray over abuses and inappropriate usages and pains of our bodies. We know that every ailment, pain, abuse, and usage is always a test of our faith to be overcome by faith in Jesus. We will have Jesus cast the devil out. We beg for your help and guidance to overcome our faith testing. We do not want fear, but faithfulness. We know that if we just overcome just one test of faith, we become strong in faith and able to conquer the next test. We will work on not being unfaithful, but faithful and conquer all.
God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself doesn't tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own lust. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown brings forth death. James 1:12 WEB
And Jesus said to him, 'Assuredly I tell you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.' Luke 23:39 WEB
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. John 11:22 WEB
We will not go by our own judgment, but God's because we never know when God will answer our prayers. God decides the fate of each soul. For a Christian, know that you are doing your best in life to strengthen your faith in living in the light of Jesus. It will never be easy, but we have to do it on our own. Seek God and his kingdom, confess your sins, and follow Jesus. The test of faith and time in our life is challenging, but the rewards are there. Let us remember the following.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:26 WEB
And I tell you, do not be anxious about what you should eat or what you should drink; nor about your body, what you should wear. Matthew 6:28 WEB
That is why I tell you to not be anxious for your life. Matthew 6:25 WEB
But seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34 WEB
Lerrys, remember that Jesus has overcome the world, and through Him, you too can overcome any fear or challenge you may face. Stand firm in your faith knowing your reward is in Heaven. Never give up and know that your reward is there for the taking, but you have to endure until the end.
And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna. The fire that will never be quenched. If your foot or eye causes you to stumble, cut it off. Mark 9:42 WEB
Lerrys, these things are only possible with our faith in Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. These are only possible with Jesus in our lives. If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then we invite you to do so now and open the possibility to a new life in Jesus. Call on Jesus and his promises and invite Him into your heart and life no matter the fear of persecution, or non belief. Jesus is there with us in our faith walk always in the greatest trials of our faith and in the worst ends of our suffering.
Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed? For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks nor majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn't respect him. Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn't open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn't open his mouth.
It's always a test of faith and we do not want to go to hell and Jesus has over come the world. You are going to be better if you just follow Jesus and his word and persevere till the end and your reward is in heaven.
These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 WEB
