A big amen, ohio, especially to your very pointed penultimate paragraph.
Lord, only You can separate soul from spirit, and that is exactly what needs to be done in so many of us. In the soulish realm there are so many blocks to conversion, yet Your Spirit can cut through them and reach the spirit with the seed of life. We lift up those who are in opposition to You, and ask that You do that work within them. Our natural tendency is to exclude these people; it's far easier for us to do that than to pray for them. Yet we have the record of so many who were once in opposition who came into right relationship with You, beginning with Paul and proceeding to the likes of Norma McCorvey.
Nothing is impossible for You, Lord, so we ask that Your perfect will be done. We ask for discernment in this matter, and that we would be made fit for the Master's use. In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen! Thank you, Paul.
