Christians please help! I have a friend...?

HI I think you should bring a friend with you. Your statement of being in love with him when you describe him as a needy train wreck makes you vulnerable to making some poor emotional choices and getting involved with him in a way that right now would not be wise. The prodigal son the father waited for the son to come to himself. When his life is falling apart there is reaping the consequences he has sown. Praying for him is great and writing him is good. Sharing scripture with him is good. But to go and pursue him now alone you would be running through some red lights. Bring a godly friend with you and remember the choices he makes are his and if he turns around wait and see if he can maintain the straight course a good while before getting involved with him. If he makes it; it will not be dependent on you all though you can have a role.

Sounds like you have gotten too close , and want to get closer .

That wont help him , or you .

You have to be strong and put his needs before your own and deny the opportunity of getting closer (if you know what i mean ) Right now , he is full of sin and the devil is working through him , with alcohol and drugs , he may not be healthy physically or mentally ., In his condition he will be working out how he can use your visit to his advantage , with money drugs alcohol or whatever his poison at the time .

You are better to give him a bible with your favourite scripture circled to him than money ., it will feed him longer than a quick fix will .

This might seem hard , but you may just save this guys life Kate , by pointing him toward the Cross .

Salvation is by actually receiving what all the disciples got - God's Spirit within, evidenced by speaking in tongues.. this is God ministering his love and peace to your soul by leading you in prayer according to his will.

He needs practical help, like a drugs and alcohol counselor.

You'll find that his multiple relationships will correct them self when he straightens himself out.

I know this sounds cliche, but there is a ton you can do! Prayer and fasting works and will make a difference!

I'll be praying!

Take him a bottle of scotch and let him touch you and I'm sure he will be just fine.

Don't let your zeal for him get in the way. Let God "change" him and all you need do is continue to pray for him.

Ditto on the fasting. Powerful stuff.

Please, offer him a Bible study that may move his heart back to JESUS.

Prayerfully examine the study guides.
