For those who like me believe that salvation is through Christ dying on the cross for our sins and asking Him to forgive our sins and come into our hearts...please pray with me for the Pastor of our home church's brother:

From Amy - Pastor's Wife
"I am sending out an email to everyone I know to plead with God on behalf of Spencer's brother, Wally. He is an unbeliever. He was raised in a Christian home, but rejected Christ in College.

Now that his life is in shambles because of his own sinful choices, he is becoming desperate. (Praise the Lord)

He told Spence yesterday that He wishes he could become a believer because he sees that his life would be better but he just can't believe.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit will break through in his heart and mind and cause him to believe.

Thank you so much, all of you. We are very sad for him"
 
Prayers of intercession are going out for Wally...

It takes more faith to believe that their isn't a God than it does to believe there is one and He can make an amazing impact on your life- I'll pray that the scales of disbelief and fear will be removed from his eyes, and that God will show himself to Wally in a mighty way- that will remove all doubt... I claim that the Angels will be rejoicing in Heaven very soon... Wally will come to know Christ!

Keep us posted of his journey to Jesus!
 
I also pray for intercession for Wally. It is amazing how God works. He will push the unbelievers to the point they are overwhelmed with their evil doing, and turn to Him. He is the only way. I choose the narrow road and pray that Wally will also. If there are any unbelievers who read this message I hope and pray you will turn to your life over to God and Know He is the only way to heaven.

This is all I could think of right now for the situation:

Everyone needs compassion
A love thats neverending
Let mercy fall on me

Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a savior
The hope of nations

*chorus*
Saviour he can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again

I give my life to follow
Everything i believe in
Now i surrender

*chorus* x2

Shine your light and let the whole world see
Were singing for the glory of the risen king JESUS x2

*chorus* x2

Shine you light and let the whole world see
Were singing for the glory of the risen king JESUS
 
It sounds as if he is already feeling convicted but he hasn't opened his heart and mind enough to realize it. The Holy Spirit will keep working through prayers and he will come around. I have learned that everything happens in God's timing and I feel that Wally's time to wake up to the Glory of the Lord is near.
 
I will be praying Janet. It takes the spirit to draw us to Christ. I will be praying that the scales will be removed from his eyes and that God will draw him to the cross.
 
I know what kind of miracles can happen when someone hits rock bottom!

He is in my prayers.
 
I'll be praying.
 
praying too.
