Asking the Lord to open our friends' hearts to God's Love!

How can we escape bad influences! By being strong and asking the Lord our God to help us opening the eyes of our heart. The Lord our generous Father will help us, So this is for our personal life, knowing that Jesus is protecting us and we are safe in his presence. Knowing also that the Holy Spirit will speak to us in all situations. 

Now, how can we help family members and friends to escape bad influences?

This is really more difficult.

First, we may not know where those friends or family members are at in their walk with the Lord! 

And it's difficult to ask them without them thinking that it's not our business.

So be ready for heartache!

The Lord our God knows where they are at and He will help them. We must keep on praying for them and be patient. 

When I listen to others'testimonies and remember mine, it takes time and we must be patient and loving!
