Jesus Is The Answer

To my best friend who shared about his predicament with life.

I am sorry that I could not offer any form of assistance to your dilemma other than to refer you to the Saviour. Matters pertaining your distress can only be directed to Jesus who alone is the answer.

People who are drug addicts, sex addicts, gamblers, compulsive liars, egoist, greedy, selfish, are people who are already trapped by evil. These people live in ignorance of God, the Father who created them. They are beyond human help but within God's help. We can only commit these people to Jesus to help them.

I have taken quite a number of such people under my care. Honestly its more than just an uphill task caring and loving such people. Without Jesus, its in fact totally impossible to bring these people back to their normal senses.

Sadly, these people are already victims of the devil's lies and deception. So what do we do when we are caught in these circumstances? Sit back and wait for God to take action! Pray that the consequences meted on them is not too harsh.

These people live in defiance of people who truly loved them. One word of advice is to stay a distance from them, ministering and approaching them with subtlety because if you don't, these people ended up hating you more. Like I mentioned earlier, your only alternative is to surrender them to Jesus who created them. Pray for them without giving up!

One obvious symptom of these people is they are guilty and conscious of their actions and will tell lies to cover their guilt. They construct and weave their lies skillfully, believing that no one is suspicious of them. They are capable of providing excellent excuses and reasons and stories.

Truthfully, we are helpless and hopeless when confronted by such dilemma. The evil one have already taken a grip on their helpless soul. Only Jesus can set them free. Their mind, eyes, ears and heart are locked in darkness and dead to the truth. Pray and ask God, our Saviour to sent His grace to break down and set free these people.

'Go and say to this people: when you hear what i say, you will not understand. when you see what i do, you will not comprehend. for the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes- so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.' Acts 28:26-27

Believe me, I can understand how sad and painful to witness these people whom we loved got entangled in the web of evil. As Christians, you and I play a very important and responsible role as guardian to these people.

We are the beacon for the Light and we are handed the responsibility to guide these people out of darkness. We must not abandon or neglect or be angry and hate them during this hour. We must be steadfast in the love that Jesus has filled us to care for them.

We must remember that they are but victims of evil and it's evil at work to destroy them and tear them away from the loving Almighty Father in Christ our Saviour.

The greatest frustrations is having to take a back seat, observing from a near distance how the evil one unceasingly offer temptation after temptation seducing them with the evils of this world and our loved ones lapping them up greedily and unexpectedly. The work of the Devil can be so convincing. Unless Jesus lives in you, how can anyone resist his pleasures?

However, in regardless how hopeless we seemed to look, remember that Jesus Christ has given us His victory at the cross and when we continue to hope in Him, I am confident that someday we can give Him honor and glory when His grace set our loved ones free.

I hope I have, by the gifting of the Holy Spirit, provided you His peace and comfort to be bold and confident approaching your dilemma. Only in Jesus Christ, our Saviour do we have the victory.If Jesus is with us, who can be against us? And remember, do not give up praying for them.

May He be your peace and comfort now and forever
