it's good that you know she needs help, and the one thing im sure she definately needs is your love. it says in romans, the kindness of God leads man to repentance.. so that has to be you! there is a big difference between your family and your friends. God chose your family and you choose your friends. since God isnt going to come down here Himself, that's why He has you in her life. so that you can love her and uplift her with kind words and awesome prayers. even if you don't like her, who cares... don't speak it. whatever you speak will come to pass, it's part of Gods law. what You want, You speak. if You want the situation to get better.. speak it out. God calls things that aren't as though they are.. romans 4.17 in proverbs 18.21 it says the tongue has the power of life and death, as well in eph 4.29 it talks about bad talk and good talk.. the latter which we should do. is it hard.. in the flesh, of course! the devil doesn't want you loving her or saying nice things to her. but it's all about God. check out 1 Cor 13.4 and on.. God is love we know that from 1 John.. and God is in you.. so substitute your name for love... and that's how God wants you to act. you can do it! you can do all things through christ who gives you strength. find some strong christians who will stand beside you in prayer and keep you accountable and who will also hold your sister and your family up in prayer not only to God but in conversations to others.

Palm Trees and Cedars Rock! Psalm 92:12 The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible].
I was listening to the Family Conference series by Dr. Crelfo Dollar... here is something interesting.. it's about a closed spirit. Here are ways to close a spirit.. things you DONT want to do: 1)speaking harsh words make sure you are selective with your words.. don't say you're not a good.. mother or sister or something.. or else you ain't a man etc etc 2)belittling a persons opinion treating them lightly or not valuable.. make sure you still respect them! 3)unwilling to admit we're wrong 4)take a person for granted if they are always cooking for you or something and you come to expect it. make sure you show appreciation, don't wait for a birthday or christmas 5)making jokes or sarcastic comments at other persons expense 6)not trusting marriage/relationships are built on trust.. yet you must give evidence/trackrecord for this 7)forcing a person to do something they aren't comfortable with sports etc activities on your kids.. making them or expecting them to be someone they aren't 8) being rude to that person infront of others 9)ignoring a persons genuine need as not as important or as valuable as ours respect them and especially respect their job/career

Common Marks of a Closed Spirit 1 feelings of tension 2 argumentative attitude 4 a loss of physical intimacey.. hugs etc 5 negative non verbal.. negative facial expressions, closed doors etc
5 attitudes to reopen a spirit 1) proverbs 15.1 A SOFT answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger. Become soft and tender with that person, no matter if they are yelling at you etc 2)Understand as much as possible, listen but don't react (if they are yelling.. had a hard day etc) 3)Acknowledge person is hurting, admit wrong in provoking anger 4)touch the other person gently (again).. hug... hand on shoulder... hold their hand.. try to keep at it.. even if they shy away 5)seek forgiveness and wait for response.... get a response.. you dont want to be someone waiting and waiting..
