testimony and prayer request

This is a bit long, please bear with me..

Over twenty two years one of my  eldest sisters got saved.  She prayed and prayed for us 13 years after I received the Holy Ghost, 3 years after our mother did, ten years after my son did.  I had a neice who I would invite to church, but she would refuse. It so happen that she got a tatoo on her leg, which was infected with the hepatitis virus,
during her sickness at the hospital, her mother who was a JW faith lover, made a promise to live for God if He save her daughter's life.  Some days before her death, the Lord spoke to me about my sister, that if He decided to take her daughter's life, would she still serve Him.  I gave her the message and she said yes.  About two(2) days after she died.  My sister got baptised, but did not receive the Holy Ghost, but her heart is also still turn toward the belief of the JW's. There is nothing like the baptism of the Holy Ghost.  
During my neice's illness at the hospital, and when I found out that they could not find her a liver and that her body and mind was deteriorating,
I could not let her die like this.  At this time my son had just returned from the hospital for diabetes.  I called a sister from church and we rushed over there.  She was very drowsy and confused the nurse told us it was affecting her brain.  She suddenly called my name and said she was afraid, we prayed for that girl, like I have never prayed before, she lifted her hands on her own accord and was moving in that bed and worshipping God, the presence of the Lord was so thick, its as if we could actually touch Him (physically) so to speak.  The fear went, she testified of this, peace was present.  She told us to give her a bath.  When I was washing her feet, I remembered the woman who washed Jesus feet preparing Him for burial, my mind also went on baptism, we covered her with the only water available in a small basin.  Immediately after this she went back into that state of mental confusion and went off to sleep.  We were the last  ones she spoke to, because she died the follo!

wing night.  One of my sister who have been considering the church had a dream that our neice came to her and told her to get baptised.  Well she did and got the HG too, followed by her youngest daughter a few months after.  The death of my neice, also bought the family closer including cousins.  Pleas pray for the safety for my sisters in Florida and family who will be travelling late tonight to Georgia for the holidays that they be safe. And also that Jesus would break that JW spirit in the other one, to bring her to submission to the power of God....Forgive me for the length, but this is my story!
