Luke 12:11-12 the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say

Jesus's words of encouragement to the disciples in times of persecution extends far beyond interrogation from authority or rulers. Sometimes the harshest persecution comes from those we love like relatives and friends. In my own extended family, persecution comes in forms of one sentence remarks such as, "you guys do your prayer thing", "no, no, don't get me involved with that church stuff, I don't believe in anything but myself", or "I don't want to go to church because christians all try to ask for money". However, I don't blame them and i see why they would think that way. Christians are humans too and are not exempt from mistakes.

I was told today that my aunt was thinking about hiring someone to get rid of the evil spirits that are in the house or that have come upon my guy cousin. They believe this is the case because he refused to attend his sister's wedding and said that he he doesn't want to see people. i see this as God opening the doors for spreading the Gospel and may the holy spirit speak when that time comes.
