Thank you, Brother Larry. You are the only person in our group [if there is a group] who will offer prayer such as this.
My brother-in-law does not wish to have anything to do with God. He lays in the hospital bed and still curses God. He still carries on his vulgar speech. He will never turn to God in repentance. He sees no need for it or something. Guess when one spends their entire life in sin and hating the things of God, their heart is too hard to seek God even in the face of death.
I do not really look for him to ever repent. So at this time I feel no need to pray for him in any kind of way. But I still will pray for them. My sister is also against anything concerning true Holiness. She believes the dead Baptist religion, and is not even very fervent about that.
But she is a good person as far as this life. I know they will need comfort from God as death comes into their family. So I asked prayer for them.
Sure I would love to see them all turn to God and find salvation. But I do not see it happening.
Sometimes God lets us know there is no further need to pray for one's salvation. This is the sad part.
He will not even allow their pastor to talk to him about God and salvation. So I see no hope he will ever turn to God in repentance. Guess He would rather die in sin.
So sad.
It is a dangerous thing to put off serving God until you are old and diseased. Your heart will harden and God will not call you.
