protection for our family

Dear brethren in Christ,
Please pray for Clifford Ragesh, Victor Lazarus and Agnes B. Christabel, for our safety and health. we are being condemned strongly by our very close relatives as we don't appreciate them going in wrong ways like following certain practices of Hinduism, numerology etc., Though we are christians few of our relatives go away from God and follow these things, when we try to make them understand not to go in such bad ways, they are almost waging a war against us. Please pray that we three are protected from all negative things and are placed safely under Jesus Christ's safe wings.
Please also pray for these our relatives that they be touched by our Lord and be rescued and transformed into new beings in Christ.
I have a very heavy heart because of all these things, please uphold us in your prayers.
yours in Christ
Agnes

Agnes, first of all, I would just like to say that I believe the Lord is very pleased with you and your christian brothers and sisters for standing up for what his words says, particularly in an environment that's hostile to christians and christianity in general. There are others, even some christians, who would say that you are going about it wrong, that you are judging people; but the Bible would beg to differ. Jesus said that we are "the salt of the earth" and the "light of the world". Salt preserves sinners from decay, just it preserved meat from spoiling so quickly in the Bible days. And light shows sinners the way to salvation. Jesus said that no one should hide their light(Mt.5:14-16), but should let it shine so that others can see it. What you are doing is opening the eyes of sinners to the truth. Some will receive it; others won't. Just keep doing what God has called you to do.

And lets not forget that the Lord said that we would be persecuted for speaking the Gospel in his name. But don't be sad, because when this happens, then your rewards in heaven are great(Mt.10:10-12). Not every christian will receive the same crown; some will receive a crown greater than others because of what they were willing to go through to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Remember, the disciples were treated just as you are being treated, just as Jesus had warned them that they would be; and the prophets were killed for doing the same thing you are doing. But when the times comes, they will reap their reward(2Cor.5:10). And so will you.

So rejoice, Agnes! God is very pleased with you and your friends. And I, myself, am very impressed with you. We live in an age in time when christians, especially in our country America, would rather avoid controversy than declare boldly what the word of God says. That's why so much immoral filth is now so pervasive in our country- homosexuality, pornography, abortion(murder), fornication, profanity, etc. People simply have no fear of God in our nation anymore because there are few christians who will stand up boldly for the Lord against evil. And the Holy Spirit can't convict people of these sins unless christians are willing to speak out against them, just as the people in the Bible did. Instead, we just "pray", hoping things would get better. But they don't; instead, we are allowing God's judgement to come against our nation. The Bible says, "Rebuke your neighbor frankly, or else you will share in his guilt"(Lev.19:17). The rewards and consequences of sin will come up on all of us who silently sit by and watch sinners destroy our nation.

SO DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR COUNTRY. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS- IN YOUR COUNTRY, OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EVEN ON THIS WEBSITE!

God bless you!

Me and my prayer partners will be praying for you.
