prodigal son

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Bro and Sister, I too have children who are not living for God ,
altogether I have four  sons ages 18 yrs to 29 yrs. My oldest son was
totally living against God's will for 10 yrs. he prayed thru this past
yr. and even though God told me after much prayer and fasting, that
Allen would be saved , I really doubted that God spoke to me at various
times. As a parent, don't be too hard on yourself, If you raised that
child in the admonition of the Lord, your hands are clean. Each one of
us makes a choice, to serve God or not. It really is an individual
choice that only the individual can make. I have a son in the Navy who
isn't serving God and my youngest child Nathaniel is serving God ,so I
have two in church and two out, right now. I can honestly say I did
everything I knew to do to raise all four boys in God's will. I believe
God can do anything, sometimes it takes a while, but encourage yourself
as much as possible and keep praying. Sis, Conant
