Change my family

Many of us are praying for our families. We are praying for husbands, wives, and children to change. We may be praying for them to change and fully surrender their lives to God. However, our families will change to serve God with all their hearts when we change first.

If we are given a higher spiritual revelation over our families, then our husbands, wives, and children will change as we pray for them and as we change ourselves. Most of us are always looking at the other family member or other people expecting them to change when in fact God wants us to change first. When we do not change ourselves, our prayers will not get answered.

We must examine ourselves and ask God to help us root out the unforgiveness, resentment, hate, bitterness, hurt, jealousy, envy, pride, complacency, laziness, and etc that may be residing in our hearts. If we hold to such things in our hearts, the Lord will not listen.

We ourselves must be regenerated. In other words, we must become new creation or reborn. The old must die and the new must rise with Christ. If there is still too much of us still in our hearts, then God may still be waiting upon us. He is waiting while we may still be wondering why there has not been any spiritual progress.

Psalm 66:18 (NIV) If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
