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
