Kathy,

While sitting here praying, I got the distinct feeling Chris feels he cannot
keep his parents rules.  I think he wants to be able to but the deception
has become so blinding, he feels he just can't be a Christian.  I saw a boy
sitting in a room and talking to someone who was asking him why he couldn't
go home to live when this feeling, and it was a feeling and not just a
thought that came to mind, registered in my emotions.  I have seen and heard
this from people a lot and it's cover is deception but often there is
something else underneath such as fear, guilt, shame, and who knows what.  I
strongly feel the lie is that he cannot be a Christian.  And why not?
Because, he feels, I'm not good enough.  Another lie.  The key is getting
rid of the lies we believe about ourselves.  We can pray against those and
that they will be exposed in his life.

Phil.
