Please pray for my son give his life to Jesus. To repent and get delivered in Gods great mercy from the demons

He needs only to believe in the grace of God, the gospel - humans cant give anything to God for salvation

its not of works.

I was claiming to be a Christian and I really thought that I was but I was walking the same way as the world on this wide road filled with many many people all doing sinful things. I was in bondage with many things. Then one day the spirit of the Lord paid me a special visit, praise God, and it turned me around! He showed me a dark eternity without Him. And I knew I was where I deserved to be. I had so much time and so many opportunities to live right according to His word, but my will prevailed. You see there's victory over sin in Christ Jesus. And without holiness no man shall see God. We cannot come into the presence of God without being changed. If you believe that you have been in the presence of God but you're still the same as you were chances are you have not been in the presence of God. I'm not being judge mental I'm just saying this is what my personal experience has been. What do you suppose happened? I'm not 100% sure how to explain it but now I'm walking a different road. It feels more like submission and freedom at the same time. I think different. Walk, talk, and act different. I no longer "desire" to Live like I was living. Doing any sins that I felt like doing. I got delivered from a spirit of fear that was wrecking my life. Delivered. God helped me to lay down a bunch of sins and addictions and stuff with His help. Bam! Finally free! I'm walking a different road now, a different direction. I see heartbreaking bondage in the lives of my children and others. That is why I pray for them. There are so many walking in bondage today that can't or don't want to get free but today is the day of salvation. They may not have tomorrow. I may not have tomorrow. He who the Son sets free SHALL BE free indeed. I'm so grateful to the Lord. And I cry a lot. The Lord rescued me. 15 years i was backslidden and didn't know if I would ever make it home spiritually. The word of God is true. Jesus never leaves us or for sakes us. Keep seeking. Never give up.
