I am not sure if I believe in God, but if you do, please pray that God would give my dad a desire to do what will bring about his salvation, and that our family, friends, and community would be willing to help.
He was not treated well by his parents growing up, and has developed a disorder that leaves him unable to consistently empathize with other people. Please pray that God would give him healing.
Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Matthew 21:21 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Proverbs 15:29
"The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous."
Have you considered Revelation 21:6-7? God the Father appears to also say He's the Alpha and Omega and He says "I will be his God, and he shall be my son."
Also, besides Revelation 22:13 Jesus saying He's first and last, God the Father also says he's first and last in Isaiah 48:12.
Also peculiar is how Jesus in Isaiah 9:6 is called "The mighty God" and "The everlasting Father."
I think its likely that the 3 are more 'one' than separate. There is only one God and we're talking about micro separations or personalities within the one God. And the most separation that occurred was temporarily when the Son transformed into a temporary man. This is where Jesus prayed to the Father, but people make inferences and draw assumptions based on that as if that's status quo, when in reality it's not. The Son is a spirit (not a man) that has always been John 1:1-3 and is one with the Father. I think many times God or LORD is used in the Bible is likely talking about the Godhead or trinity. That is why it says 'we' and 'us' plural.
Hello BB. While I will certainly pray for your father, I will also pray for you to become confident in your belief in God. Faith comes by hearing and reading the WORD. For starters, I encourage you to watch Billy Graham's videos on youtube. I challenge you to read the Bible--beginning with the Gospel of John which displays the deity of Jesus Christ. Your total faith and salvation will not only plant seeds of faith and salvation in your father but save your immortal soul from hell. I am inserting instructions on how you can be saved.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Paul and Silas's jailer asked them in ACTS 16:30 ..."Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Their answer was as simple as this in ACTS 16:31 ..."Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..." Simple as that.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.- Romans 10:9-13.
I strongly urge you to take Jesus Christ as your Savior.
