Puttied

I don't know what I'm writing, but I can almost guarantee that it's not my message. I was laying in bed thinking about our bible study this afternoon, and something was said about Matthew 18:19, 20. (19"Again, I assure you: If two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them.")
I've read this before this study, and I could clearly see that Jesus is talking about Christian men and His will. Someone else made me feel like what I've been praying for, may not happen. Why? Why would they even suggest that it may not happen? I have a hope that will not fail in Jesus. My hope is Jesus. If Jesus tells me that if two or more agree on any matter and pray for it, it will be granted, then I'm going to keep on believing that if myself and someone else pray for salvation for my family, it will surely be granted. I know about the "free will" issue. What if the family members I'm praying about, have their hearts softened like "butta on a hot July day" (that's the correct spelling of southun slang.) They receive the message at the appropriate moment, and accept the forgiveness that only comes from Jesus Christ. Then what if? That means there is still hope, and that "maybes" are big words. It's still God's will for no one to perish, but for all to come to repentance. So it's totally up to Him, not me. Thankyou Lord!
God has the power to soften. Don't dare Him, He might just melt your heart.
