"You want her to go against her prayerful consideration?"

No, we're convicted that she may already have done that. She admits she was very close to saying "Yes," but then her kids talked her out of it. We want her to make certain she's following the Lord's leading.

Prayerful following is never as cut and dried as actually "hearing God say" one thing or another, it's a form of becoming convicted over time of where you believe you're being led through much prayerful consideration.

It is not perfect or infallible, because in the end it is fallible, imperfect people who are interpereting what they believe to be His leading. Mistakes can be, have been, and often are made. We firmly believe that if there is a chance that she made such an error here, she should have the chance as well as the encouragement to rectify it.

N'kay? Buh-bye!

She and her husband prayed about it. They made a decision. They let the public know.

You don’t like her decision and you want to make her think about it, again.

You’re bargaining with someone who has definitively declined the offer.

You’re not operating from a position of strength, here.

And you’re wrong. You have no inside knowledge to determine what her prayerful communications with God were like and how they were formed. You were not privy to those private prayers that she had with God. You have no right to say that you think she made an error, here. That is a terribly sanctimonious and deceptive thing to say about prayer and its effectiveness.

I’m shocked and disgusted that you would even try to twist her statement in this way, to suit your own agenda.

You really have no shame.
