Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm 56 and I have never chatted with anyone on line before. Forgive me ahead of time if I don't understand what I'm doing. I really just have a question that I'd like some thoughts on. My uncle has dementia and I am the court appointed conservator for him. He has always been agnostic in what he believed, though he lived with me before he went to the nursing home and we have been praying for his salvation for years. Now that his thinking is so damaged do you think he can still make a salvation decision or will God have mercy on him as He would with someone born brain damaged? He has covid and all I can think about is if he passes where will he go. Thank you, I know this is a question that no one can answer except the Lord Himself, but I would like to hear other thoughts.
Hi, and welcome to the Forum.
Yes, the Lord can give him grace, and a moment of clarity to move upon his spirit to call upon the Lord and be saved, in response to your faithful prayers.
None of us can be saved with grace, without a God given empowering to believe.
I would say, it’s probably more possible now in the state of mind he is in, than before when his mind was actually the enemy of his salvation.
Please consider thanking God now in advance for saving your uncle. Please understand you being a believer, are in a powerful position of authority over your uncle much
Ike a parent has legal authority over their child, because you are his legal care giver. What you speak over his life is important and is either a blessing or a curse. Speak God’s promises over him in faith and watch what the Lord does for him.
Simple phrases such as ...
Thank you Lord for saving my uncle (state his name) because your word says “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:31
- In Jesus name my uncle is blessed.
- In Jesus name my uncle has the mind of Christ.
Be encouraged, God is with you and will lead you and help you.
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
