Life with my father as a young man was not a pleasure filled experience. The fact was that my father was a drunk; there were many times that he took his drunkeness out on our small family in physical and mental ways. I do not want to dwell on these things as the Scripture exhorts us to dwell on things true, honest, pure...Phil Chapter 4.
The fact is my daddy was an abusive and cursing, angry man; but that all changed. Just a few brief months before he passed away with heart failure, my father was miraculously saved. Our Pastor shared Christ with him as I had heard our previous pastor do. I watched as this cursing, angry drunk would pray with tears and cries of great grief in pentitence over his sinfulness. I witnessed him give up cigarettes and alcohol instanteously. I saw the power of the Holy Spirit change him.
If you have lost hope for a loved one, dont give up praying! God can break through the toughest people's hearts and bring abundant life! Now, that is the Dunomos (power) of the Gospel! With Blessings. Sherrell
