I just bought the book The Power of a Praying Wife. You just reminded me that should include all of our spouses, sigificant otherse in our prayers as they can be our rock (or possibly a downfall) but they are only human and they need strength and perserverance to help us and be there when we need them. Thanks!

bev,
you are sooo right! I know that when my husband is irratated then the whole house seems to be. The book that you got will help you to pray for your husband in every way possiable. The power of books are really good, and they put it in a way that everyone can understand! I hope that you enjoy it! We are as one when we say I do and that is because no matter what we do or our spouse it will effect us and the whole family! God bless you!

Jennifer,
You are so right! Thank you for the prayer. I know you do a lot of self study so if you have some extra time, the "religion" my father is involved in is called Santeria. He claims it is "Christian" since he worships catholic saints but they are really african gods "masked" with catholic saints so that the african slaves back in the day, could continue worshiping their own gods. Tell me what you think...
Thank you again for your prayer. I work on Wednesdays and go to church afterwards but I will try to participate in the prayer group this week.

Celeste,
1.)Santeria ignores Jesus Christ.
2.)You are only to worship the Lord
3.)The reuqired invocation of spirits leads to the demon-possession he voluntarily gives up the ability to choose and allow the evil spirit to make decisions for him.
This is a pagan religion they think they are consulting with the dead when actually they are listening to demons that are acting like spirits of the dead.
Christianity Santeria, also called Lukumi or Regla de Ocla
What is it?
Christianity is the faith of followers of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Santeria is an African religion. Slaves brought it to Cuba long ago. They added some Catholic practices to the religion to please their masters but continued their own unbiblical practices, too.
Holy book
The Bible
Santeria has no formal holy book. It has been passed down by word of mouth.
God
There is one God. He is a loving Father to His children. We can come to Him through faith in Jesus. (See John 14:6.)
Santeria teaches that there is one main god who is not knowable. Followers worship and pray to many lesser gods.
Sacrifice
Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross paid for the sins of mankind.
Followers of Santeria make animal sacrifices to their gods.
Ancestor worship
Christians worship God alone. They trust Him to care for them. (See Deuteronomy 6:4 and 1 Peter 5:7.)
Followers of Santeria worship, talk to, and try to please the spirits of their ancestors who have died.
Magic
The Bible forbids magic, witchcraft, and spells. (See Deuteronomy 18:10-14.) God desires what is best for His children.
Followers of Santeria believe in spells and practice magic.
I studies these things on varies sites and copied some from there to here so that I didn't have to type. Your dad is most definently in an occult. Anyone that denies Christ is headed for destruction and eternity in Hell. I will not say that is where your dad is headed for because we will all pray for his salvation and that he gets out of this NOW!!!
Lord Jesus, I pray for Celste's dad to find you dear Lord. I pray that you will show him the light and show him that Santeria is an occult and not Christian in any way. Please Lord show him that he is deceived in thinking that there is nothing wrong with what he is doing but please open his eyes to all the lies. Please Lord Jesus guide him from this occult and safety away from it. Please Lord Jesus show him that without you there is nothing but destruction and his actions if continued will lead him to Hell. Please Lord help Celeste to stay strong through all of this and help keep her protected from all that may try to harm her. Lord Jesus thank you for showing her the light before she made the same mistake that her dad did. Thank you for bringing her to this site and letting her be able to ask for prayer so that her dad as well as herself could come to you. I pray this in Jesus' name Amen.

believer08,
I wish that I could take credit for that but I found it online I just copied it and posted it. I do believe that the Lord did bring me to it though because I needed something with scriptures in it so that I could have the BIBLE telling different thing against how her dad believes. I just couldn't let anyone believe that the I did that all myself. I went online and found a website that was talking about her dads occult and had biblcal scriptures in it. But all the same it helped you so the Lord was using me to help. Had a little bit of guilt there and didn't want to feel like I had lied. Also Believer thanks for posting to Lisa I didnt know what to say to her because I believe everything that the bible says and I didn't know how to tell her any different. I love that the Lord sends people to help me and others when I dont know something and it has happened time and time again. God bless all of you!

Jennifer, Thank you for praying for my dad. I pray everyday for his salvation. And thank you for including me in that prayer. I really appreciate you looking into Santeria and posting scripture that invalidates it. I wish I could get my dad to "see" the truth! John 14:6 comes to mind when I think of my dad. Thank you again! God bless you!
