I'm going to switch hats and give you some pastoral advice . My day job is fixing computers, my night job is as a licensed and ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now I’m going to put on my preacher hat and try to get you lined up to receive some divine help.
Hopefully your brother is still cognizant enough to understand who Jesus and what He has done for each of us. If not, then it is time for the whole family to have
a come to Jesus event and gather around your brother. Every family member needs to have not just church attendance or membership but a living relationship and communion with the Lord Jesus.
Once your family has had their time of renewal and revival or Born Again new birth, it is time for all of your family gather around your brother and pray. All of you need to pray that if your brother hasn’t been Born Again, that God would graciously grant him lucid time to understand that he needs Jesus. Your brother needs to understand and accept the salvation message and pray to receive Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. No one can do that for him, it has to be his desire and his words.
Once he has been Born Again, he is in God’s hands; God may choose to divinely heal him. However, even if God doesn’t heal him, he will pass from this life of pain and sorrow into the glorious presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. All you family can take comfort knowing that there will be a joyful reunion in Heaven one glorious day.
If your brother does not have that opportunity to be Born Again, his passing will not be without purpose. The spiritual revival and Born Again new birth among your family members will reshape your family and give each one of you a hope and a peace about where they will spend eternity. You will not be alone in this world; the Lord Jesus said that He would never leave you or forsake you. Each and every moment of every day, Jesus will be there to help you, guide you, shape and form you into all the wonderful things you can be in Him.
If all this seems overwhelming, Oklahoma is Baptist country, and there will be pastors who will take the time to help all of you do what each of you needs to do.
