Direction In Prayer Child and Mom

 A child can when you are a Christian cause change even in how you as a mom pray during stressful times not getting along in a marriage.  This not only changed how I prayed but a time of giving instruction to my son.  I am guessing he was about 10.  As I said there was a lot of arguing within the marriage and I would finally separate myself and go outside and sit.  A cooling off period.

On one occasion my youngest son came outside where I was and told me he couldn't stand his dad and I arguing.  So I said to him teaching him to intercede for his parents.  I said when you hear something, then pray for your mom and dad that God would bring peace and quiet to the home and to them.  So he said he would.  

Well still not settled the next day again arguing and I separated myself outside which really doesn't settle anything it just stops arguing for a time is all.  Here comes my son outside all excited he had done what I said and God made it quiet and peaceful instantly.  Very excited his prayer was heard.

I don't even remember what it was about, but it was something neither one of us wanted to budge on.  So I complained to the Lord quoting Him peace scripture and also the scripture about his yoke easy and burden light.  I was then led to pray that God change someones heart, if I was wrong change my heart was my request, and if my husband was wrong change his heart so that we walk in agreement and have peace.  I don't remember who's heart changed, I think that particular time it was his.  I learned to pray that prayer first thing then whenever we were in total disagreement on things.  I know my heart was changed too many times.  

We have to be willing for our hearts to change also.  If we only think we are correct there will always be strife.  I learned too, to include myself for a change in heart.  We didn't argue about that grave of items, so it was never anything that either one of us could change and be ok with.  God can change hearts and I would use this at times I felt it was needed.

So not only was it a time to instruct and teach a child but it was also a growing time for myself in prayer.  I would also ask the Lord to give my husband wisdom, was also part of the prayer.  We lived more at peace in the house more continually. It is always a wonder and awe to me when the Lord shows up with direction.

Vengeance Is Mine

We had moved from Arizona to Kentucky as husband was a contractor. He had worked there on a 6 month contract about a year prior to this time when we in fact made the move. They wanted him in Kentucky. He was working for them again from home in Arizona prior to the move. He had asked a friend from KY to see if they could find a house for us to rent. They found an older home up on a hill for us, so we sent a deposit to hold it till we could get there to see it. Less than a week and we had moved, driving a Ryder truck with our belongs in. We had left the home in Arizona vacant and up for sale.

When we got to town, we drove over to view the house that we had a deposit down on. It was a nice older house inside from what you could see, but my husband opened the electrical box inside in the house and woe what a mess, looked like a rats nest of long wire twisted all up stuffed inside it. We refused the home and asked for our money back. That house wasn't fit for anyone to live in. I had taken pictures of it while we were inside inspecting. We attempted to find a way to get our money back and found no help.

We found in the paper that same day another smaller house with a single garage and were able to get it immediately it was a newer home. We got our things moved in and filled the garage with extra things that would not fit in this small home. I was thankful to get a place that fast. I was the one looking into getting our money back when the Lord said to me: "vengeance is mine, saith the Lord" well I knew the scripture:

Romans 12:19 (KJV) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

This is one of the few scriptures in the epistles of Paul that he said "saith the Lord". I stropped looking to try to get our money back and wondered if I would ever hear how the Lord would handle it.

A couple of weeks later I heard what happened to the man and the house!! A water main inside that locked up home had burst and flooded and rouined the house, it was not caught till water that would escape out the door had finally crossed the road down that hill. The water bill was tremendous plus it rouined the floors etc inside the home. I was like wow Lord thank you that I even got to hear and thank you for watching over us and not permitting another to even move into that place. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 20:1 (KJV) To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

God Confirms Instruction To My Children

When God confirms instruction it is an awe and wonder to me. Of course I was in the word but still younger, my eldest son had just gotten his drivers license. He had asked to use the car he would be the driver for a few friends. There was a party they were talking about going to at a friend of theirs from school. This would be the first time my son would be the driver with his new license.

As a parent mom, I knew it was time for my son to start paying attention to what my mom always called a check in your spirit.. meaning something isn't setting right here. You couldn't pin point exactly what it was.. a feeling etc. I had to try to explain this to my son.

So I reminded him of all the times he and his brother would get upset at me asking me why can't I go, why, why. They never got an answer back then other than because I said so!! I told him all those times I said no, I would get a check in my spirit that something was not right. I couldn't explain it but you would experience it with your children, then you would gain more understanding. I said I won't be there and you are going to have to listen to the spirit within you. If there is not peace about it then it is not God. So a peace should always be with you.

We let our son take the car and be the driver. About 2 hours later, our son came home and sat in the living room chair, quietly. I said what happened? He said when he got to the party he didn't feel right but couldn't talk the others into not going in as that was the plan. So my son told them he was not going, and he would come back later to pick them up, and he was just going to go driving around. When he got back to pick them up, there was a police patty wagon loading up all those kids, so he came home.

Praise the Lord and the listening to that quickening the check in his spirit, Almighty God made a imprint to me, nothing I could have done could have done, and was done with instruction right away.  That is God to me people, and I was in awe and thankful.

How a Child Explained the Trinity

I was young and my sons were young, I didn't know how to explain Father, Son and Holy Spirit all being one. I was finally led to ask them telling them that God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit were just ONE God, did they understand that? I was in awe of God when I heard the response, they said yes they understood it, I ask how? They said it is like the transformer, a toy they had that was just 1 toy but turned into 2 other things having 3 different looks and actions. I was like wow Lord you were right:

Matthew 11:25 (KJV) At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

They had used a toy to explain the ONE in 3.

Court Room of Almighty God

Decreeing Something Is It Ok To Do?

Well I never thought about it before till the Lord gave me a two word search "decree light". Well there was just one verse with those two exact words.

Job 22:28 (KJV) Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

Well I had learned and grew in the Lord well enough to stay in "out of the mouth of God" as Messiah said. Messiah also said "It is written" and "It is Finished" so this was my argument to the Lord and I told Him I wouldn't do it for these reasons. The church at that time was really pushing people to decree things and I didn't agree with it for the reasons I stated to Father. I take out of the mouth of God to him when praying for things as well. Scriptures said by God or Messiah (God) are more powerful words than my words.

I had been walking a long time and the Lord then next with my discomfort started giving me words for scripture after scripture of different prophets, till I had a full page of them!! I told Father I would decree His words until He released me, so I read them out loud each morning decreeing them. Once released from it I deleted the page it went on for I don't remember how long weeks I think.

So should a person decree things, my answer would be to do it the way Father then did with me, find His words to stand on not mans words in scripture. I felt I had taken up the cross and followed Him, not following me.

The thing that always stood out to me in the book of Job is what stopped the attacks on him:

Job 42:10 (KJV) And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Do we pray for our friends?

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37 (KJV)

Child Lost in desert heat life and death

Father had reminded me of this miracle with my word sharpening word for today.

I had posted one testimony that involved my son and a neighbor's child and him seeing a demon in my son's closet A couple years later, her family and friends went on holiday camping in the sand dunes in Yuma, AZ over the Easter holiday. They would take their sand railes and ATV's to ride the sand dunes while there camping out in that desert. She believed in the Lord but was not brought up with it nor was in scriptures at all. Should she want to know something or have a question she would ask me.

Easter Sunday and I got a phone call, they did not have cell phones back then people had, so you had to drive to town to make a call. Long distance and even toll call charges were back in those days. All upset she said Cody was lost in the dunes, had taken off on his small ATV and they couldn't find him, the full group went out looking I don't remember for how long before going to town to report it. She called me asking for prayer and if I remember right she even asked me to call my parents, which was my custom back then anyway. They had been told a child doesn't last long out there with no water etc. and put up a helicopter air search for the child. I of course prayed and called my parents to pray for him.

She would be fed information, the helicopter had spotted the ATV but the child was no where to be found so searching continued. For myself just trusting in the Lord, I didn't hear anything till she called me later that day they were in the hospital and she let me know they had found the child. He was totally dehydrated, and put him on IVs and they told her that it was all the candy he had eaten (sugar) they felt that even kept him alive.

Praise the Lord for answered prayer, and yes your prayers can be miraculous on behalf of family and friends even if your only calling is a wife, mother staying home raising children.
