Hello Doves!
I am in urgent need of all willing prayer warriors to stand with me in spiritual warfare on behalf of my daughter, Denise, and her boyfriend Daryl!
Denise & Daryl are in their mid 20s and have been together since they were 10 years old. Denise has been in love with the Lord since she was a small child. She made a profession of faith when she was 4 years old, and I felt certain that she understood the simple Gospel message at the time. She is a spirit-filled believer. Daryl always seemed to be a devout Christian too; however, about 2 years ago, he started questioning his faith (unbeknownst to me until recently). He says he has been reading, praying, and "contemplating" about it all this time and has come to embrace the Unitarian Universalist way of thought, which means that he lives for a liberal, humanist, globalist, social "gospel" that expresses the belief that they believe in nothing in particular and feel that all faiths and nonfaiths are pathways to God--and that Jesus was just another prophet like Buddah, Mohammad, etc., etc. I can't believe that he believes this! And wait...it gets better.....he is currently attending SEMINARY at Boston University (he just started in September)!
As if all of this wasn't bad enough, he has my precious daughter questioning the inerrancy of the Bible, the resurrection, and all aspects of her Christian faith! He brought her to his "church" last Sunday. I feel totally SICK about this. If Daryl wants to deny Christ and end up in hell, I do NOT want him to drag my daughter down there with him!! I am also concerned about my son, Gary, who is in the Army and currently serving in Iraq. He still has his Christian beliefs, but he feels like God isn't necessarily with them right now and that they are pretty much left on their own by Him. He is not at all sure that God is interested in hearing his prayers.
It is so dreadfully hard for immature Christians to maintain a strong faith these days, what with all the atheist college professors (my daughter just graduated from law school and got an earful there), the culture changes, activity of the devil and his minions and so forth! I always felt that my children had a strong foundation--we talked about the Lord ALL the time as they grew up and prayed together and saw wonderful answers from Him. I always thought that no matter what happened, at least they had their strong Christian faith so they would be OK. It looks like their foundation is being shaken, and I'm not really sure what to do about it except pray. And I am clinging to the Scriptures where our Lord Jesus says that all that the Father has given Him are His and no one can pluck them out of His hand.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, would you please stand with me in battle against this spirit of apostasy and pray that Denise and Gary and Daryl will be protected from the evil one's deception and see the truth in Christ and cling to Him? It would mean more than anything in the world to me!
Sorry this is so long--thank you for taking the time to read it!
I love you all,
YSIC Dawn Dominick
