Prayer: Families Bringing Glory to God

Today in church my husband and I taught that in Christian lives our ultimate goal is for Christ to gain ALL the glory. Differing from the worldview here in American and all across the globe, where 'I' get's the glory.

This Thursday, families are coming together to eat, play, laugh and simply enjoy one another. Now is the time to give glory to God within our families.

Our prayer this period is for FAMILIES LIVING THEIR LIVES TOGETHER-ULTIMATELY BRINGING GLORY TO GOD!

When this happens, people see Jesus and desire Him for their lives. The most powerful witnessing tool IS the family. While children are still young exhibiting  the graces of our Lord people WILL take NOTE and start watching.

When families are out in public; praying before meals, laughing and showing respect and love---many will see Jesus!

In all of that God is getting the Glory.

So, let's pray for our families as a unit to have unity, love and Jesus--Giving God the Glory!

Romans 15:5-13

Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁵Now may the God Who gives the power of patient endurance (steadfastness) and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,
    ⁶That together you may [unanimously] with united hearts and one voice, praise and glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
    ⁷Welcome and receive [to your hearts] one another, then, even as Christ has welcomed and received you, for the glory of God.
    ⁸For I tell you that Christ (the Messiah) became a servant and a minister to the circumcised (the Jews) in order to show God's truthfulness and honesty by confirming (verifying) the promises [given] to our fathers,
    ⁹And [also in order] that the Gentiles (nations) might glorify God for His mercy [not covenanted] to them. As it is written, Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles and sing praises to Your name.^{(A)
    10}Again it is said, Rejoice (exult), O Gentiles, along with His [own] people;^{(B)
    11}And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise Him!^{(C)
    12}And further Isaiah says, There shall be a ^[a]Sprout from the Root of Jesse, He Who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles hope.^{(D)
    13}May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

Praying Together From the North, South, East & West

Praying for Blessings to come and Strong holds to come down from the North, South, East and West!

Presently, on our Mom's Praying for the Generations-via Face Book...we have mom's from all the way in California, way up in Michigan, Connecticut, North Carolina and Florida and all  in between. 

We love our families don't we? Thank God for praying mama's too! This has and is creating a strong cohesive bond that is growing; not just in numbers but in POWER!
I feel led this week to call on God's rich blessing to come down all across this nation of ours. Starting from the North to the South and the East to the West. As we do let's all bind the strong-holds that are holding our families, our children, our husbands and yes mothers in terrible bondage's. There is power in the Blood of Jesus, power in His Name and His Word.
Pray sisters...join with me as we combine this particular prayer-focus!  
Also, we are starting this week as a small group to come together to pray. The Lord laid certain individuals on my heart this week, inviting them to join me in praying for our families at my church (in an apartment we have). It is a humble start; but I am certain God is going to move and bless this. Ask the Lord if He wants you, to do the same. Then go...just call a handful of dear friends, have them meet at your house or church-God will open that door. We are bringing pictures of our family and going to pray over them.
If you will send me a testimony on what God has done. How He has led you. We would all love to hear about these victories; celebrating with you with all of heaven.
Ok....Let's expect as we pray!

1 John 5:14,15 "This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him."

2 Cor. 10:4 "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal (of a fleshly or earthly nature), but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" .

Matthew 17:19,21 "Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast him out? However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting" .

PRAYER FOCUS: For our children to CRAVE God!

PRAYER FOCUS: For our children to CRAVE God! For them to passionately become worshipers of Jesus! Gluttons of God's Word! John 6:1-4/24-68 is where we read Jesus telling the multitude;

"Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you."

Hunger is from the sense of lack. Christ is bread to the soul. (Nourishing and supporting the Spiritual life).

 Yet, we see many fill their hunger for love, acceptance, and security in relationships, material possessions, or even success. But we all know that they will never find real or lasting satisfaction.


Pray with your children, read God's Word with them. If they are adults, all the more when you are given the time to be together. 
Meanwhile, this is life and death to the soul; as not eating will eventually bring death. 


We want our children to not only just live...but partake on the LIVING BREAD...that will cause them to SOAR LIKE EAGLES. This is the Generation to usher in a revival of prayer accompanied with salvation's, signs and wonders. 
Let's not accept apathy in the spiritual lives of our kids. 


Join with us all and let's pray this HUNGER & PASSION for God in our children.
Amen?

“O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1).

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalm 42:1-2).

Mom's Praying for Mom's

Our amazing Lord has placed a burden in my heart to pray for MOM'S! For our girlfriends who are mothers, sisters, co-workers and even our own mothers.
Can we just join our hands together during this week and bind together in prayer for one another; as we are living out this AMAZING CALL on our lives? We all know, if we have been mothers for anytime, if mom doesn't feel well....the house isn't going to be well. That literally means- THE HOUSE, kids feeling the stress, order, meals and the list goes on and on; doesn't it?
Lately, I've been saying; "I wish I had a mommy taking care of me." Feeling a bit worn out; well to be honest greatly worn out. But, my vision is right before me. MY CHILDREN; I must live out a godly life before them. Are you like me sometimes...you just don't have it to give?
I want to pray for you (we all want to pray for you): 
1-Health: let us know if you are facing health issues and just need a healing touch of God.
2-Emotional: Are you facing anything in your life right now that is wearing your down, hurts, disappointments, fears, ...etc.
3-Financial: I would say a great % of us can put a request here. Yet, we will agree with you for God's provision & direction to both lead and bless you.
4-Marital: Are you facing a difficult chapter in your lives? When the house is divided...it cannot stand. We will pray!
5-Spiritual: Needing a refreshing, renewing of the Spirit of God to flow through your inner most being? Salvation? More of God?
Let us know...He indeed is faithful!
Post your request in the comment here and even praise reports. We love to hear from you.
We are also on face book as well. 

Matthew 11:28 

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

PRAY

Deuteronomy 4:29

"But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you [truly] seek Him with all your heart [and mind] and soul and life."

Amplified Bible

Mom's the extremist thing we could EVER do is Pray! The strongest thing we can do and not worry about how gifted, talented, and smart we are is to SEEK God with all our hearts. Go for it this week. In the middle of the night, early in the morning or take a break and find that closet and call out to Jesus. He really is waiting to hear from you, our children NEED us to pray.  

Leave a prayer request in the comment section after this post. Leave a testimony as well. 

I am trying to restrain my self from not going into a writing frenzy so we can just focus on prayer. I want to invite you to read my last Post on Snowdenwiththefam called: 'Desperate Enough to Pray' ...[http://snowdenwiththefam-daneille.blogspot.com/2011/09/desperate-enough-to-pray.html ]

TO PRAY: Latin: precārī  to beg.  A Personal communication or petition addressed to a deity, in the form of supplication, adoration, praise, contrition, or thanksgiving.
WHY?  We are demonstrating our FAITH in the Higher Power of All...God! The Creator of the Universe. We know that we know...He indeed hears our Cries, and reaches down and answer  our prayers. 
          We pray to STAND IN THE GAP for our 'loved-ones' and others. Once again believing that when we do, calling out in the Name above All Names=Jesus! Satan trembles and has to flee. 
          We pray for guidance, healing, victory, supply and FOR COMPANY! Finding out we are NOT alone. 
FOR WHO? Who not? We pray for our enemies, for those who 'use-us', for our neighbors, churches, leaders and our family. Here, we are focusing on our children. 
I know the Lord led me tonight to this song...the first part of it is focused on praying for our children. Listen and get lost in the Presence of our Lord.

Praying For Your Child's Mind

Ever heard the quote: "You are what you think." It has been used in various formats through out time. The mind...it never seems to turn off. We know what we battle in ours don't we? Some stuff we would NEVER share with a soul. This is where a lot of spiritual warfare is definitely fought. 
The Word tells us to fill our minds with: Honorable things, Truth, Just, Honesty, Good Reports (positive), Virtue-pure, lovely, commendable....THINK ON THESE THINGS!
So, what is in the minds of our children?
Make Phil. 4:8 as a prayer (sure for yourself) a prayer for your children. Also a guideline on what books they read, music they listen to, movies (tv shows) they watch. Are they pure? True? 
If their minds are full of God's Love...insecurities they are facing will fade. Confusion will be gone. 
Proverbs 3:6 Clearly states: "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths."
This week...let's pray for our children's minds and for us as parents to teach them Phil. 4:8; by applying it to every area of their lives.
Do you have a child that needs prayer?
One that is also facing turmoil in their minds?
Let us know...we would be more than happy to agree with you in prayer.
Lord bless you RICHLY in Him this day-Mom!

Teaching What Prayer is to Your Child

This week...in our prayer meeting. Let's invite the children to pray with us.
Pray with your kids mom! Allow them to lead in the prayers.
This week my daughter Felecia from her Beautiful Girlhood book by Mabel Hale is learning about this...finding that quiet time and today was: WHAT IS PRAYER?
Does your child know what prayer actually is?
Teach them first by Word...from the Word.
Take them to: Ps. 27:11/50:14-15/102:1/117:1
                      Mat. 5:44/7:11/26:41
                      Lu. 10:2  (Thanks Shelley N. for the script. references!)
There are droves of scriptures. These will tell your children how to pray, what to pray for, and who to pray for.
Tell your children...Prayer is (communion) time to talk to God and hear from Him. To thank Him, Worship Him, Cry before Him if needed, Ask for needs they or others may have and yes; desires too!
Then TEACH your child by example...not just at this period of time,  make it a a daily habit: PRAY WITH THEM!
Join with me now TEACHING OUR CHILDREN TO PRAY!
