Answer 1

so what is your sister doing? worshipping satan? killing people? stealing? prostitution?

Answer 2

It is tough being where you are, I have been there for so many years, praying that my family will be saved.

Let me tell you a story about four siblings. Two boys two girls. The boys were the oldest out of the four, and the girls of course the youngest. The three oldest children stair stepped in age and the youngest was nine years younger than her sister.

Many things happened in the family because the whole family was not saved. Many bad things. The secound brother was in to drinking and dabled in drugs, the oldest was angry and feeled with hate because his parents neglected all of them. The third child was confused and alone and left to raise her sister. How affual it was.

Then one day, something really bad happened, and things started getting way out of control. The third child had to speak against her older brother and he went to a boys camp. The oldest brother was placed with family and so was the oldest sister. The youngest was left with her parents.

Years past, and the third child gave her life to the Lord and began praying for her older siblings and her younger one as well. She visited them from time to time and the oldest brought the youngest to visit her.

Then one year their father was saved and began going to church. He passed away from cancer three years later, but it did something to the oldest brother and he was saved. She was still praying and many years had passed. The oldest brother helped win the secound brother to christ, and then the oldest was in a horrible accident and died a year and a half later. The secound brother and the third child still know the Lord, but the youngest is still not sure.

I do not pressure her, I am not the one that will bring her to the Lord, it will take someone else. What I do is I pray, and I pray that it will happen before the Lord comes back. All I can do is put it in his hands. I love my sister very much and we have a great relationship, but if I push to hard she will back off, because that has already happened. We do discuss religion, and we talk about the Bible, but I have never out right asked her where her stand is with God. She will let me know when she wants. I have sought many older adult advice on this, and she may be playing around in here one day and find this, but it does not matter, she knows I know the Lord and that I would love to see her saved.

Leave her in his hands, love her, laugh with her, and pray and cry to the Lord at night, he hears you and he will answer your prayer. My brothers and dad were saved, my mother still needs to be and so does she.

It is ok that you may not be the one to lead her there, but when she gets there, if you have given her your best she will turn to you for guidance and support.

You do not have to condone what she does, just laugh, love, and be there.

I hope that this helps. I am sorry that you are dealing with this. I will be praying.

Answer 3

OK. Here's the thing. You are a Christian but you are not praying with faith. If you were, the post above would not have that many !!! or capital letters. You don't have the peace of heart that comes from trusting in God after a faithful prayer.
Philippians 4:6-7 says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Remember, Pr 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
I understand that it may seem easy for me to say this, not being in your position, but consider Jesus in the Garden of Gesthemane. He knew what He was about to suffer, yet prayed and went away resolved. Yes, he struggled as you are - He sweat drops of blood - but He did not come away until He was resolved and was able to go out, handle betrayal and call His betrayer a friend. He then faced all the cross brought, the desertion of all His friends and not even get an attitude.
God promises us that same kind of peace if we will trust in Him.
Jeremiah 29:12-13 says: "...you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Take some time out, perhaps with a friend, and pray with all you've got - not just for your sister, but for yourself and your family. You need Him right now, as much as she does.
