Reminding myself that prayer does work!
There is such a freedom in Prayer...
A Prayer warrior can NOT be stopped!!...
Keep praying. DONT QUIT...
Pray in the Spirit and in the Name of Jesus...
Prayer is warfare..
Prayer is hard work....
I heard these statements this morning as I listened to a preaching on KDRY.com radio. Satan fears our prayers.. and he cant stop us from praying. We may have no exit in our situations but through our prayers God always makes a way.... nothing in hell below or heaven above can stop us. Thats the power of prayer!! Believing prayers are more powerful than others...lol, I think thats funny and awesome. A GNU or Wildebeast is known for fighting on its knees....and they fight for what they want until they get it. (Its usually for a female or self defense) In our case its for VICTORY!!!. What great example is this animal to us? God created it w/ this characteristic.. and how much more victory will we have if we do the same? FIGHT on YOUR knees...
I will continue to, and encourage you to do the same, FIGHT ON YOUR KNEES.. In this case, its for my daughter (and sons,husband,self,friends,family,pastor etc). I have to tell you that since I started this blog.. things have gotten so much better. She is being more responsible, more respectful, and more gentle with her ways.. I love the awesome Power in prayer... do you?

Victory-4-our daughters part 5
Hello fellow parents!!! Wow, raising a teenager is harder than I thought. Thank God for being our Support. If you didn’t know I love to read books! A Few years ago I came across “The Power of a Praying Wife” by Stormie Omartian, http://www.stormieomartian.com/ I love love love her! She teaches us how to pray for particular situations and different things specifically. As my journey began of being a mother of a “teenager daughter” I found another book she wrote, “The Power of a Praying Parent”. Can I say OMG!!?? Absolutely cannot put this book down. It is my guide besides my Guide (the Word). She touches subjects that I can’t seem to think of myself. So I will be sharing the readings and prayers she has put together to help all of us. Enjoy….
Chapter 28 (Power of a Praying Parent)
Breaking Down Ungodly Strongholds
Weapons of Warfare
Matthew 16:19, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 10:26, “There is nothing covered that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known.”
Proverbs 11:21, “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
Psalms 9:9, “The Lord will also be a refuge for the oppressed and a refuge in times of trouble.
So, here is what she teaches: (in my own words)
Trying to figure out what goes on in your child’s life is hard. Ever notice that your child has a guilty look on their face? Often wonder what the sneaky expression or behaviors are? We just can’t put our finger on it. That’s when we have to ask God to reveal to us, in prayer, what they are. Are there hidden sins? Are there ungodly acts? Maybe they are. Our kids aren’t perfect; they will do crazy things and make unwise decisions just like we did when we were younger. Maybe it’s lying, or stealing, or using profanity, or bullying. Whatever it is, we have a caring Father who will reveal to us what it is so we can bind them out in Jesus Name.
Ask God, is there anything in _______________(child name), that I should be seeing? He will help us to help them. There might not be suspicions now, but the bible says that “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). How much evidence is this? God tells us to watch out for satan because he lurks around our kids and wants to be part of their lives. May the Lord rebuke him in Jesus Name.!!!!!!! There is NO WAY, as long as I live, going to let him destroy my children. NO WAY.. will you do the same?
Here is the prayer:
Lord, Thank You that You have promised in Your Word to deliver us when we cry out to You. I come3 to You on behalf of (name your child) and ask that You would deliver him/her from any ungodliness that may be threatening to become a stronghold in his/her life. Even though I don’t know what he/she needs to be set free from, YOU DO. I pray in the name of Jesus that You will work deliverance in his/her life wherever it is needed. I know that although “we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Give me wisdom and revelation regarding him/her. I know there are areas of enemy operation which I cannot see, so I depend on You, Lord to reveal these to me as I need to know them. Speak to my heart. Show me how to pray when there is something deep in my spirit that is unsettled, disturbed, or troubled about him/her. Show me anything that I am not seeing, and let all that is hidden come to light. If there is any action I need to take, I depend on YOU to show me. Thank you that You help me parent my child/children. Lord, I put TANESHA, ANTHONY, & TJ in Your hands this day. Guide, protect, and convict him/her when sin is trying to take root. Strengthen him/her in battle when satan attempts to gain a foothold in his/her heart. Make him/her sensitive to enemy encroachment, and may he/she run to YOU to be his/her stronghold and refuge in times of trouble. May the cries of his/her heart be “Cleanse me from secret faults” Psalm 19:12. According to Your Word I say that the Lord will deliver him/her from every evil work and preserve him/her for HIS heavenly kingdom(2 Tim. 4:18) AMEN
Special Thanks to Stormie Omartian!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victory 4 our daughters Part 4
LEARNING TO LEAVE HER IN HIS HANDS...
1 PETER5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Wow, isnt that scripture easier said then done? As parents we worry about everything! Whether she will not serve Christ? Will her heart be broken? Will she be bullied? Abused? live in poverty? uneducated? use drugs? have low self-esteem? get into a car accident?.. to name a few........... This is because we want the best for our children. We want them to find prince charming, and have a huge ministry, etc.. Will she realize Who she is in Christ? Its our human nature, motherly mentality that gets us to live in fear of what may happen or not happen to her.
When we realize, as children of God, that He is in Control of EVERYTHING, that HE has the POWER to SAVE,DELIVER, & SET FREE... then we will NOT live in fear.. but we will be CONFIDENT that Christ will take care of it all! Praise God!!!
I've learned "the hard" way, to leave my children, my daughter in HIS HANDS. I was ignorant to all these true blessings and HIS LOVE not only for me, but for my girl..
When we release them into HIS HANDS, all the pressure and weight is taken off..AND how much peace wow, thats so amazing...
Isaiah 55:12
“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
this verse assures me that when I release her/them into His Hand... then they will go out peacefully, and as you can see.. Nature starts to worship Him..lol.. this is awesome!
REMEMBER!! IT DOESNT MATTER IF WE ARE PERFECT PARENTS... AS LONG AS WE ARE PRAYING ONES!!
Please let these small words of encouragement help you to be confident in leaving our girls.. in HIS HANDS..............amen

Victory 4 our daughters Part 3
Hey Moms & Dads!
I'm glad to be up and running on this blog! First, I praise God for my daughter, she turned 14 yesterday! Happy Birthday Tanesha Jazlin!! Today I want to give you some verses that will help the girls. I got this off of http://heiscrazy4u.blogspot.com. What I am going to do and encourage you also to do, is get a pretty piece of craft paper or whatever you have... and print this out and place in my daughters room. (probably tape on her wall or put in her book-bag). It is imperative that we use the Word of God to help ourselves and our daughters on a daily basis. Please comment and give me feed back on how this goes. Of course the enemy doesn't want us to do this.. why?? because faith comes by hearing.. and hearing the Word of God. Also, the Word sets us free!!lol!! Isn't that GREAT NEWS!!
Verses Every Girl Should Know::
JESUS IS WILD ABOUT US; WE JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT! ONE WAY THAT WE CAN DO THAT IS BY REPLACING LIES WITH HIS TRUTH
"The Lord your God is with you He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17
"My lover is mine and I am His..." Song of Solomon 2:16a
"You are altogether beautiful, my darling, and there is no blemish in you." Song of Solomon 4:7
"The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor Him, for He is your Lord." Psalms 45:11
"God decided in advance to adopt us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do and it gave Him great pleasure!" Ephesians 1:5
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER,
I ASK IN YOUR NAME THAT YOU WOULD BLESS EACH AND EVERY PARENT WHO IS FOLLOWING THIS BLOG.

Victory 4 our daughters Part 2
Hey everyone!! I'm back.. I was thinking about what Im going to put in this blog.. I want to share a few prayers with you.. ones that I pray for my daughter ALL the time!... since she was much smaller....
here's my list (not in any particular order)
1. Salvation- that her name would be written in the book of Life.. that she will see His Glory starting from a young age.. not when she becomes an adult.. but NOW..amen?
2. That she will delight herself in the Lord,Learn to trust in Him fully.
3. That the God of Peace will consume every aspect of her life... and fill her w/ joy, love, peace.
4. That she would have a pure and holy passion to seek His face and love His dwelling place.
5. For her future husband.. this is a huge deal for me.... actually one of my priority prayers...(one day i will tell my testimony of how God brought me out of a crazy marriage and delivered me from bondage because of it).... that God will PROTECT him from the hands of the enemy, he will be safe from harm, that God and serving God will be his priority.......that he may love my daughter unconditionally...passionately, that He after God, will take care of her every need. that he may only have eyes for her.. and divorce will NOT have part in her marriage..that he would be a GREAT father.. and companion, that they will both take care of their children to their best capacity
6. that BLessings, Favor,, Mercy,, Goodness, Miracles, Healings, will chase after her all the days of her life!!!
7. that she when she goes through trials and tribulations that she would run to God first
8. that she may be filled and used and inspired by the Holy Spirit..24-7
9. I pray that I will be an inspiration to her.. a motivation to her.. and a role model... that I can pass down family traditions...and a double portion of the anointing over her life!!
IN JESUS NAME I PRAY..
YOU DONT HAVE TO PRAY THESE. BUT I PRAY THAT IT WILL INSPIRE YOU TO HAVE YOUR OWN PRAYER LIST FOR YOUR CHILDREN..

Victory 4 our daughters PART 1
Being as though my daughter Tanesha starts high school this year, I have been kinda going through the "growing Pain" of being a mom. So many emotions...bitter sweat.. Im proud of her.. then again i want to keep her home! But,, We all know that cant happen. You guys are probably going through the same a me.. Just the thought of our children being exposed to such a lost world.. Highschool::: homosexuality, drugs, depression, suicide, and the list goes on and on and on.. The purpose of this blog is to encourage ALL of us to have children, especially daughters, those of us who work w/ young girls in the school district, and those of us who work in Youth Ministry, to BE MOTIVATED AND ENCOURAGED to take care of, and PRAY for the "Victory over our Daughters". Amen???
(Years ago when I was holding a cell class w/ a special friend, I kinda jotted down every sin I could possibly think of .. with the help of the Bible of course... so that when we prayed for the young woman in the group, we would rebuke,cast out, and bind all those evil spirits. Also, I jotted down every blessing as well.. w/ the help of Deuteronomy. Every week for months and months we prayed hardcore for them.. and God has placed in my heart to share w/ others to do the same.
I would love to a have a Victory 4 our Daughters support group one day... so I (we) can help other moms who suffer the pain of seeing there lil princesses lost and go through things that the power of prayer can help to resolve.
Of course, we all have to go through things in Life and God does a Mighty work... But there is NOTHING.... NOTHING like a "PRAYING MOTHER".
IS ANYBODY WITH ME????????? HERE WE GO.. This is the list of sins/bad things that we will be praying for to be gone away from them in Jesus Name...(I may be missing a few)
ALL of these demons have to flee in Jesus Name away from our daughters.. our sons...
fear, low self-esteem, doubt, confusion, evilness, criticism, discord, loneliness, misery, homosexuality, drugs, alcohol, suicide, depression, disfunctionalism, hatred, greed, disunity, murder, gluttony, sickness, pain, disease, broken heart, brokeness, malice, laziness, deception, lies, envy, jealousy, anxiety, emptiness, obesity, destruction, stupidity, ignorance, betrayal, rape, porn, incest, unforgiveness, cheating, witchcraft, worldliness, weakness seduction, evilness, stealing, anger, fornicaiton, adultery, division, lack of self control, destruction, perversity, violence, bitterness, pride, sadness, irresponsibility, gossip, deviousness, heartache, bad memory, skitzophrenia, oppression, disrespect, restlessness.. and many more (feel free to contact me to put any you can think of)
PLease try your best to pray hard and try to remember all these things that the enemy has waiting for them (and us) and with the Power of Prayer all things are possible!
feel free to leave any comments/advice
BE A BLESSING TO YOUR DAUGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!
