Whst does the bible say about praying with those who are not genuine?
My father in law who is the pastor and founder of our 50 year old church remarried about 3 years ago, after the death of his wife of 40 years. His new wife has repeatedly shown herself to be selfish and seems to care only about her own best interests and not the best interests of my father in law, our family or the ministry. This has caused some discord in our family as well as at the church. We began fasting and praying together as a family once a week for 12 weeks seeking the Lord for direction and for love, peace forgiveness and unity in our family and to come against the attack of the enemy. The 12 weeeks are now over and it seems as if nothing has changed. My brother in law who is the assistant pastor at our church feels that we should not continue to pray WITH my mother in law as she is not genuine and that we are wasting our time praying with her. He feels that our prayers have become so centered around her that we are asking "amiss". I personally feel that "the prayers of the righteous availeth much, and that The righteous will not be forsaken and that we should continue to pray until something does happen. With her or without her. What do you think?
