I had a dream a long time ago in which I was given an opportunity to warn
certain Christians. I chose not to because I thought they would not listen.
I had another one that I was shown a very serious situation in which my
relatives would be excluded from escaping the things to come becuase they
rejected Christ. I wept, then I was told what to do. He said pray. I cried
and said it was hopeless. I did not want to fight because  I thought it was
too hard and there were no gaurentees.

Little did I realize that I fell into a trap. I did not pray for them for
many, many years.The devil nuetralizes those who do not fight.

Lets face it. We are called to do battle, spiritual battle is much more
powerful than any weapon man can contrive. Yet many of us totaly ignore
prayer as if it is some sort of option or inconvenience. But what happens
when we do not fight? We lose souls, we lose family, we become harrassed by
the devil anyway. So it is a no win situation. We do not want to stand up
and speak the truth because we do not want to be challanged or ridiculed. We
lose again, we are nuetralized again.

These are the last days. God forbid that we should ignore the reality of
this by thinking we can just slide into a safe harbor without a storm. The
storm is coming whether we like it or not. We must prepare for that storm
now by giving him our undivided attention.

Lord help us to see where we realy are right now. Show us how to unclutter
our minds from the distractions that keep you out. Discipline us, show us
how to take up the cross and fight.
