The Kingdom of Heaven.  Praying God's great and precious promises for our children.

In late August of 2017, God laid on my heart to begin to pray His great and precious promises for our family. As I started studying the bible and looking at all His promises in His word, I could not believe how many were in the bible.  I am committing to pray all His great and precious promises from Matthew to Revelation in 2018. There are about 250 promises in the New Testament.  I believe, as a wife and Mom, one of the greatest gifts I can give my husband and my children is prayer.  I have tasted and seen the goodness of the Lord over the years as I prayed for specific requests.  I believe in the power of prayer.  Prayer can literally change the path your husband or children are on.  Prayer is that space carved out to hear the voice of the Lord; to approach our Savior and be in His presence. It is a time where we can come empty and depleted and leave full and refreshed. It is a time to believe that victory for your family is coming.
 
Today’s great and precious promise is the Kingdom of Heaven.  Jesus stated in the sermon on the mount in Matthew 5:3, “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”  The poor in the spirit refers to a person who is humble and meek; a person who knows they need God and gives themselves over to Him.  Jesus says this person is blessed and will receive the kingdom of heaven.  Lord, I praise Your mighty name and thank You the kingdom of heaven is one of your great and precious promises for us.  Father, I hold up my children to you today.  There are so many people with so many voices trying to get the attention of my children.  I thank You that Your voice is the voice they hear over all the other voices.  I come against arrogant behavior and pride in my children. I release a spirit of meekness and humility in my children. I thank You they will not be so full of themselves and self-absorbed that they do not see Your will and Your way for their life.  I thank You they recognize they need you, Lord, in every area of their life.  I thank You that today You are filling them up with the fullness of Christ.  I stand in the gap for my children. I pray Your love is poured out on and in them today.  I pray that You are alive in them today.  I thank You no weapon formed against them shall prosper.  I thank You that the kingdom of heaven is theirs! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Who am I?  Galatians 2:20 does a great job of summing up who I am.  My life is His, the One who loves me and gave Himself for me . In return, I want to be all He wants me to be and do all He wants me to do on this side of Heaven.

    I am passionate about His word, family and being a part of the solution of the fatherless in our world. My prayer is to encourage and equip you no matter what season of life you find yourself in.  I believe God wants to raise you up and flow through you to impact your family and others.  So what are you waiting for?! Let's do this! :)
