Cathy M. - thank you for that wonderful post and you are right - PRAYER changes things. That is the most important thing that we can do - let God reach our loved ones in the way he knows best! When someone is lost - whether it is in drugs, idolatry, the occult, etc. - God can reach down and bring them out. One thing I often recommend to people is to get good Christian praise music that truly edifies the Lord and play that in their homes. Worship and praise music will run demons out! The powers of darkness hate worship and praise and they hate the blood and they ESPECIALLY hate praise songs about the blood of Jesus!
