Prayer request for Tom

I ask for intercession, prayer and fasting for my brother Tom who will be 50 March 2nd. Through much prayer the Lord has shown me that Tom is spiritually in hell. He is an alcoholic and addicted to pornography. He has lost his Catholic faith. He is oppressed and in bondgage. I remember the brother of my youth, happy and sweet. I also believe that the Lord had a special mission for him in his life and that through Toms weakness and sin, the enemy, who is a thief has stolen it from God. I pray the Chaplet of St. Michael for Tom every day and have masses said for him and intercede for him everyday. But he has strongholds and an armor of evil over him that will take more than myself to pray out. Are there any called to join me with prayer and fasting for Tom? Some types of evil can only be overcome with both. Tom almost died as an infant. I prayed, "Lord, if you knew he would be in hell someday why didn't you take him home as an infant. Then, I thought if he allowed him to live it is to serve God. I believe that the call may even wildly be a priest; only God knows. I promise to those who pray for him that I will in turn pray for your intentions included in 2 hours of Eucharistic Adoration weekly. Thank you
from my heart. Lorraine
