Hello, John and Doves,Michelle, I hope this helps your friend. Catholics can be gloriously saved!My best friend's mother was a Catholic to the end of her days, and wonderfully Holy-Spirit filled in the last years of her life, during which she battled cancer, too.My solution? Pray the impossible. Any number of Spirit-filled believers can do this.The quorum is two. It is written,"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."Again, it is written,"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full."What am I saying? The family has requested/demanded a priest. Nevertheless, the door is wide open to specify that he should be only a Spirit-filled man who entered the priesthood after his wife died, and who, previous to the intense onset of her infirm condition and subsequent homegoing, had a thriving lay ministry in his own parish. Add or subtract anything at all that you like. Be careful. You WILL get what you pray for.Religion is what you will fall for. Convictions are what you will stand for.It is written,10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Ephesians 6:10-17 NIV________________________________________________________________________A master class in witnessing: http://onceuponacross.blogspot.com/2009/09/kirk-cameron-masterclass-how-to-witness.html________________________________________________________________________________~Blessings,Mike________________________________________________________________http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2013/michelle430.htm

"Lady dying of cancer [she's not saved] please pray"
I have a friend on FB. She said I could ask others to pray for a lady dying of cancer. Here's what she said
"Dear family,There is a young believer who is in a very tragic situation. Her mother is dying of cancer and does not know Jesus. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and abused by the nuns in school. Her sister's family is under heavy demonic influence, and the rest of the family is wanting a Priest to visit her mother. A. wishes to have a born-again Minister visit her mom, however all of the Chaplains are 'denominational'. Prayers for this young woman, her family, and her mother to find salvation before she passes. Thank you, and May the Lord Bless!"
