Standing In The Gap For My Children 🦋

 ~Isaiah 49:22-26

"Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My  standard for the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their  arms, And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;  Kings shall be your foster fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth,  And lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord,  For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.” Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives [of the righteous be delivered? But thus says the Lord: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you,  And I will save your children. I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

If I ask our readers from Butterfly by Grace “Mommy and daughter blog” What is Prayer? Jesus lived a life of prayer. He gave many tools on how and why to pray. What's prayer? According to merrian-webster.com prayer is ( such as petition ) to God or a god in word or thought, a set of words used in praying, an earnest request or wish. An act or practice of praying to God; and something prayed or wished for.  According to the bible prayer is described as seeking God's favor (Exodus 32:11), pouring out one’s soul to the Lord ( 1 Samuel 1:15), crying out to heaven (2 Chronicles 32:20), drawing near to God (Psalm 73:28) and kneeling before the Father (Ephesians 3:14).  It is the most beautiful tool that Jesus gave us.  I have the conviction that prayer works. Prayer is my conversation with God. It is where I can express my feelings without being judged, but being heard. Prayer is a spiritual communication that we all have with God, a two-way relationship in which we should not only talk to God but It's crucial that we listen to him. A prayer to our heavenly father God is like a child's conversation with his father. It is normal for a child to ask his father for the things they need.  We should never stop praying even when we do not see the results immediately. Today I want to share my favorite prayer of all is the prayer from a mother for her children. There is a mystery in a mothers prayer. There is such blessing in a mothers prayer. A mothers prayer carries authority before God. She cries out like Hannah, she wars like Deborah, and she stands like the proverbs 31 woman. Strongholds break when a mother prays, for her voice rises like an increase, and the Lord fifths for her children. When a mother kneels, God stands.  Do not ignore the powerful weapon and tools that God has anointed each and every mother. A mothers prayers carry a sound hell cannot be ignored. Her intercession rises like a trumpet in the spirit, tearing down strongholds and realizing divine protection. For the Lord remembers and answers the cry of a mother who prays. A prayer mother is like a watchman of the wall day and night she lifts her voice, and the God who neither sleeps nor slumbers guards her children. Strongholds fall at the persistence of a mother’s prayer. Heaven places weight on a mothers prayers. Her petitions are soaked in sacrifice, her words wrapped in love, and her cry moves the heart of God. No stronghold can withstand such intercession. In Butterfly by Grace Mommy and daughter by grace we want you to share my tools and my biggest accomplishment of a mothers prayer. A prayer becomes a warrior spirit. Her battlefield is the secret place, her weapon in intercession, and her victory is guaranteed for the God who hears her break every chain. Keep praying like the widow of Luke, she refuses to stop knocking. Mother raise your voice. I ask today every father and mother to raise up your hands and declare in the name of Jesus the salvation of your children. 

Lets pray!

Heavenly father, life can be challenging, we all face tough moments. In these times, prayer becomes even more difficult but essential.  We repent of all sin and the sin of our children. We ask for your mercy and forgiveness. We know that we can always call upon you in need. We trust you completely that your word will not return to you void but it will accomplish what you sent it to do. Lord, we seek you today in wisdom and guidance as we stand in the gap for our children. We need your divine intervention. Holy spirit of God, help us reveal to us what we need to know and do. Teach every mother more and more each day how to stand firm on your promises. In the name of Jesus, we pled the blood of Jesus over their spirit, soul and body. In the name of Jesus we bind up the spirits of rebellion, anxiety, fear and depression.  In the name of Jesus Christ with all the authority you given me and the power of your holy name we call your pillar of fire to surround them. Break destroy every plot plan and strategy of the enemy, send your angels to guard them with a hedge of protection against the adversary. Your truth in them exposes every lie of the the devil. Allow them to remember the seed that once was planted. I stand on ground and ask that you, Lord, purify their minds from pride, resentment, bitterness, jealousy, and anger. We declare that our generation to generation our family's bloodline will not be contaminated by nor unequally yoked. We ask like Abraham a wife for our son Isaac “I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of  Heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, Among whom I dwell; But you should go to my country and take a wife for my son Isaac.” Genesis 24:3-4 we ask you Jesus that you hand pick our daughters husband and hand pick our sons wife. We pray for a woman of fear and a woman like Proverbs 31. If any of our children are in relationship that separate them for God and go against your words in the name of Jesus I declare that you put a spirit of discouragement a spirit of shame spirit of a disgusting over these couples, I pray that you Lord will break all these strongholds and bring back our children in your arms as Isaiah 49:22-23 “they should bring your son in their arms, and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders. “I am the Lord, For they will not be put to shame who wait and hope expectantly for me”. Hallelujah Praise God. Amen and Amen.

"Arise, shine, for your light has come"

 Mathew 10: 16:18 💥

16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

"Do not allow others to diminish your light due to their own fears and insecurities. Instead, let your light shine so brightly, that you illuminate a pathway for others to find their way out of the darkness!” – Dr. Stacey A. Maxwell 

It is certain that when God has a purpose for your life, it does not matter what the odds are. He places all the right pieces and people together to bring that purpose to fruition. If you are a mother, teacher, nurse, mentor, social worker or someone who loves to connect with people in general, God has strategically put you in place to help bring forth purpose in the lives of others. The inspiring words you give, the light love and advice you offer, and even that strong word of correction are meaningful and purposeful in someone's life. Don't allow anyone to underestimate your value for God. You are beautifully, made by a perfect God. 

Living in a fallen world where people have the opportunity to change the way they look by having their imperfections corrected by plastic surgery; looking slimmer, longer hair, color eyes and so on. We live in a world where everything is fake, and not real. People are not happy with what they have. The more they have, the more they want. It is crucial to learn to be content. "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty". ~Philippians 4:11-13

As I say this; tears run down my cheeks. This is a world is full of Ingratitude and hypocrisy. Unfortunately, skills and education in today's society don't matter. People loves short cuts. They enjoy favoritism. They enjoy attention. Love fame. Our broken and corrupted world love blowing someone else's candles. No one wants to work hard. Everyday people lie just to get what they want. Too much church hopping. Everyone wants the things that are fast and easy. They do not know what it is to be humble. Too much AI is affecting our society. No one wants to work hard. They want to be a copycat. No one will clap for your success. New grads struggle to start a career. Companies are only hiring people with experience and discard all new university grads. Peer pressure is getting everyday more popular. We continue to preach over and over the same messages. There is no one in the gap. There is no one watching the signs. I am so ashamed. Ezra said he is ashamed for his and his nations sins. "O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens." (Ezra 9:6)

In Butterfly by Grace “Mommy and Daughter blog” We want every reader to understand that God has called us to be light, to be different, but like Jesus, humble like doves. Make your own light brighter and bring many to the feet of Christ with your actions. Do what is right when no one is looking at you. The world will try to make you cheat, will try to make you use short cuts, lie just to obtain what you have been praying for. The bible tells us in Matthew 10:16-18 that we must be wise and innocent. We have to use our gifts of discerning, strategic and cautions in navigating the challenges we face. We are called innocent like doves. Other translations use the word "humble". It’s crucial to understand the times that we are living by prayer and supplications but keeping a heart, integrity and transparency in our actions. We can handle trials with prudence and righteousness using the gift of wisdom. In our trial and moments of doubt; It is important to use the guidance from God, using sound judgment, and making wise decisions in moments of doubt. Therefore, stay vigilant as the devil is looking for someone to devour. We can not act like the world. God can not be mocked. Your faith will be tested everyday! But being a follower of Jesus Christ means to stay true to our beliefs, and not compromising our values, even in adversity. “Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver. I have tested you in the furnace of affliction”.  Just because you are not seeing your promises, does not mean God is not in your story. He will fulfill his plan and purpose. Do not be shaken. Do not be discouraged. God will not leave you nor forsake you. It is time to embody wisdom and discernment. We can embrace the season with thanksgiving. You have to obey God. Stay focused on the price. If you claim that you are a child of God; then walk, speak and act like it. God can not and will not be mocked. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” Let’s not be ashamed of who we claim to be. In this world we have enough goats. Stay firm! Be the one that does not mock the word of God. Stay vigilant, of the world we live in, and cling to what is right. God will bless your obedience. I am asking all our readers to please let your actions reflect God. Don't insult God, Do not Insult Christianity. We already have all around the world too many people who are making us look bad. Because of these people who mock everyday the word of God is why there is so much divisions in Christianity. Peter reminds us in 1 Peter 3:16 that those who talk about and make fun of our good conduct in Christ are the ones who will be ashamed on the day of judgement. If you are not ashamed of Christ, and he will not be ashamed of you in that great day. Isn't that a beautiful encouragement? Whatever else we may be ashamed of, we should never be ashamed to proclaim our faith.

Let the Holy Spirit speak. Our opinions do not matter. It is not what we think. We do not know it all. Lets make heaven crowded. Time to stop thinking and start using the holy spirit as our helper. It is time to stop causing too much divisions. We are not victims. It is time to grow up. "Anyone who has to drink milk is still a child, without any experience in the matter of right and wrong. Solid food, on the other hand, is for adults, who through practice are able to distinguish between good and evil." Hebrew 5:13 It is time to pick up your cross and follow Jesus. Chose whom you will serve. "And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve". "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. "Whether the gods your ancestors served". "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord". Joshua 24:14-15 My twins are 16 years old. Being 16 is a challenge in a world that offers destruction. I have always said: “Our preaching on repentance and forgiveness; feels overwhelmed, when we feel not heard; but our actions can bring people closer to God more than any preaching can. “Our actions can reflect Jesus more than words can”. Let us be doers or word, and not hearers only.

Lets pray!

Heavenly Father, we come before you by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving. First, we ask for forgiveness. Sorry for not waiting. Sorry for acting like the world. Thank you for every opportunity that you have given us the opportunity to come before you to say; "Sorry" for not having patience to wait". Thank you for your promises and many blessings for those who are faithful to seek you in prayer. Lord, your plans for me are far greater than I could even ask or imagine. Thank you that you have a purpose for me that includes the manifestation of the desires of our heart and even blessings that we never dreamed of. Father God, I know that to receive all you have for us, Lord, we must stay in alignment with your word. I know that if something is missing in our life, we repent for the areas where we missed it. Help us to get back on my way to victory for you. In Butterfly by Grace Mommy and daughter blog we want to obey you and live a life filled with your love for you and others. We commit to you. We are going to begin each day in faith believing in good things, looking at life through the lens of faith, and seeking your will in everything we say and do. Help us wait on you, help stay firm when temptation arrives. Help us remain faithful and truthful to the truth. Give us discernment to know what is of you; and please close the door that is not of you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen!

Forgive!

 “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, ‘says the Lord”  Romans 12:19

We live in a broken world and cannot be fixed until Jesus Christ returns. A world that does not know good from evil and good from bad. The truth is just the beginning. “All this is but the beginning of birth pain” Matthew 24:8. Christian who are content to turn a blind eye to the injustices suffered by others are missing the point of what it means to walk as Jesus did. We cannot fix the broken system. We can not stop the injustice. But, what we can do: Is return to the altar, We can return to the message of the cross, We can return to our first love, We can repent, We can have true teaching, We can get rid of spirit of Jezebel in the church, We can wake up, We can hold fast what we have so that no one take away your crown, We can not be lukewarm, he will vomit us, we can have unity in the spirit, we can pray, forgive and have a true repentance. 

When we pray things shift. The prophet Amos said: “When a society has shrugged off God's law he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time, for it is an evil time” Amos 5:13. What do you do when injustice seems to prevail? Do you think that if you repay evil for evil you will feel better? The answer is No. After observing what unfolded with Charlie Kirk, I recognized that while we are not in the public eye, the challenges and injustices we endure hold meaning and deserve attention.  Our struggles against injustices matters. I will not remain silent in the face of wrongdoing! Losing jobs, friends, and family has been worth it- and again, I will not remain silent and I am committed to standing for what is right, no matter the cost. What happened on September 10, 2025 was a profound injustice. When we are treated with injustice, It is right to ask God to please avenge that injustice. Prayer is crucial to survive! 

First, this is  a big burden. “Forgive them because they do not know what they are doing”. Luke 23:34 

The good news is that Jesus can and will restore your heart. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you”. Ezekiel 36”26. Unconfessed sin and unforgiveness can hinder prayers. 

I confess that I have been deeply wounded. Some of us have been hurt by those in authority, Others have been abused, molested, or sexually assaulted. Perhaps, others have a soul wound from childhood that never fully healed.  This is my story. My testimony. 

Forgiveness is key for healing. When unforgiveness takes root, it produces resentment. Unforgiveness destroys us. Unforgiveness quickly entangles and impressions us in a cage of bitterness. We become trapped and haunted. Unforgiveness can negatively impact your health. I ignored many phone calls and blocked many. I ended up isolated in a cave. I was getting myself in a dangerous place. I did not want anything to do with the minister. I became disobedient. I complained to God and blamed everyone. I thought it was the end. But this is not how this story ends. I am still writing. He is the author. 

As a Nurse one day in my bitterness my patient who was healing from bone cancer (Osteosarcoma) was in pain. She had this huge wound that needed to be cleaned, irrigated and changed her dressing. One day, she said to me: “It doesn't matter if you change the bandage”. “She said: “Everyone changes the bandage but no one really gets to the roots”. “If the wound is deep, it needs healing”. I had tears in my eyes. I was trying to hide under the masks. She says: “This is exactly what happens to many people”. “You can not take care of the superficial, It will spread and cause infection”. “You have to get to the root and kill it once and for all”. I was very emotional for a long time. I was sensitive. My emotions took the best of me. I walked away and cried. Later that day; I asked her what do you mean? She did not remember anything. I hid in a  cave, I didn't want to be seen. I did not want anything to do with social media. Unfortunately, I still had to get up and work. My days off were in the cave. I was really feeling alone and abandoned. I knew it was time to fight! Seeing my family and seeing the results of my  bitterness only opened doors to the enemy. My place was not in the cave. I was exhausted from even breathing. I was not sleeping nor eating. I had bags under my eyes. No one was able to understand me. No one knew the pain and agony I felt.  As a leader; I failed God, I struggled with so much injustice everywhere I looked. People I trusted betrayed my trust. I battle with lies, jealousy, rejection as a child, and rejection as a leader. I lament and step down as a Pastor. I knew I was sick from my heart. I did not want anything to do with ministry. I was feeling like a child on time out, feeling unworthy, weak, hopeless and abandoned by God. I was wounded; I needed an emergency heart transplant. Many saw my spiritual death. But, God saw purpose. I was invited to an event. My daughter was excited about the prophetic activation. She knew her mother needed God. I just wanted to sit in the last chair and did not want to be bothered. I did not want to be known. I was embarrassed. I did not want to be seen or recognized.  As they call for prayer. I did not move. I was desperate for a breakthrough. At that moment few women went up for prayer. The preacher says: “I know when the Holy Spirit speaks to me, and is not you nor you or you, Three women standing in the front of the altar for prayer as he called three particular women who were rape as a child on his right side. He called one woman on his left who was molested as a child.  He continued: “I will let you know that is me talking to you”. He said: “Do not be ashamed”. “This is not your fault”. “You need to be free”. “I was ashamed, I felt so dirty. At that moment as you know; “There was a fire like never before; he asked for me to put my hand on my heart; there was a fire; As he renounced, he began to pray and every woman lifted up their hands. He began to start liberation; As every woman repeated: “I resign and disengage, I forgive, and on and on… “ I did not move from my chair.  “I saw the nine year old girl who was hurt” The pastor said: Repeat, now and you will be free. He continues by saying “this is not your fault.” You must forgive all who hurt you. “You have been paralyzed”. “Your minister and your career is paralyzed”. “All doors are closed”.  It hurts, but you have to obey. “Obedience unlocks many promises.” Get out  the cave! That is not your place. At that instance my eyes were open. I confessed my child abuse, rejection, I confess my unforgiveness from leaders and family”. I began to fight back and close all doors. At that instance, I began to hear different people talking in different languages. I was able to hear God’s voice again. I asked. How many languages are in this church? Why are they talking in other languages? She looked at me and said: What language? It is only Spanish. Again, I was listening to different languages. I was going crazy. I was not only listening to other languages; I was understanding every tongue and every language. My eyes were open. I was so sick from my stomach, exhausted and feeling like I was about to vomit. I knew then, I was free. From this point, I was free. I was transformed. Something was broken inside of me. I praise God for letting me free. Unforgiveness is too much of a burden for anyone. 

I was forgiven and I was restored for the Glory of God. I pray for all who hurt me, the most difficult was to forgive my family. God gave me a new heart. I can now look back and see what the enemy intended for evil, God used it for his glory. I can testify to his glory. My ministry is clean and this is a new transformation of open heart. My prayer life has increased, my reading of the Bible has been intense. The things that God has been revealing are amazing. The faith has been growing everyday. 

Lets pray!

Father God, we repent and we call upon you. We need your healing. We need strength. Give us your eyes to see what you see. I can ask you Lord, as you restore me; I call upon the name of Jesus. I declare a new heart, I declare humbleness, I declare freedom, I declare forgiveness, I declare that you open up their eyes so that they may see your power and glory. Jesus we repent and we give you the lock of forgiveness, we today let go every evil person who hurt us, we forgive all leaders who hurt us, we forgive our family, we forgive and let go any accusation, plot against us, we give you our weakness, we forgive our parents, we today let go all fear, anxiety that the enemy have try to steal our joy, I command you with all the authority that God has given me; to leave now. We are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against rulers and authorities of the unseen world against mighty power in this dark world. You are not the author of confusion, but of peace. We claim your promise that if we resist the devil he will flee from us. Jesus we rebuke satans power and rebuke the power of any of all evil influences over our household. We bind Satan's power against us.  We thank you for giving us the power to cast out demons in your name Jesus. Jesus we engage in a spirit battle using the whole armor of God. We will put on the full armor of God. We will stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around our waist and take the helmet of salvation in the name of Jesus we forgive and let go. We are free in Jesus' name. Hallelujah Amen

What is Faith?

 “For nothing will be impossible with God”. ~Luke 1:37

What do you do when you've waited so long and somebody is telling you that the impossible is still possible? What do you do when the promise just doesn't make sense? “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Genesis 18:14. You must be mindful that when it comes to the promises of God,  you shouldn't take matters into your own hands. Giving up is not the answer. Doubting hinders the progress of your promises, paralyzes you and keeps you stagnant. 

Jesus called his disciples men of little faith. The men who we thought are supposed to have the fatih that moves mountains after walking with Jesus for three years; Yet, they battle with faith. Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Faith is believing even when you can not see.  How can you believe in something you can not see? Faith is to trust.  Faith is to have confidence. Faith is when we walk by Faith and not by sight. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians that “those you cannot see are eternal”. However, “the things that you see are temporary”. Your lock of faith is temporary. This situation is temporary. Your pain is temporary. Thank God for his goodness. God can do more than we can ask nor imagine. Nothing is impossible for God. He understands that all we need is Faith as mustard seed to grow. “For in hope we were saved. But hope which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?

Faith is one of those words that is commonly used by most people, even those who are not Christians.  Have you ever searched for the definition of faith? In one definition; it is said that faith refers to belief in something strong despite lacking any evidence. Hebrews 11:1 says: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Any unbelief makes us waver concerning the promise of God. I have learned in my walk with God that every child of God must learn obedience.  It is impossible to receive all his promises if we are walking in obedience. Obedience will open doors that have been closed. The bible tells us that It is impossible to please God without faith. When we lock faith; we doubt God. The Bible also says: “Even demons have faith’. James 2:19. Faith comes from hearing God's word. Faith needs to grow. There is hope. If you lock Faith; the good news is that God can and will help us in our unbelief.  “God is not a man, that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will not fulfill it?” Numbers 23:19. 

Lets pray!

Father God, we thank you for everything! Open our eyes, not to see the world more clearly, but to see you. We ask in the name of Jesus that you give us unwavering faith. Through prayer we ask for wisdom, guidance to deepen our belief in only you God. Help us overcome any doubts and help us grow our trust. Teach us how to wait. Give us discernment and revelation to know when it is from you. Thank you for listening to our prayers. We love you Jesus! Thank you for the gift of faith!  I praise you, Lord… Hallelujah 

Pray for Your Children!

“A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world” ~John 16:21

I will never be a perfect mother but I will always be a praying mother. I will always stand in the gap for my four children. “Children are a gift from the Lord”, Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go”, The bible is our best guide to train our children. My children are a reward and it is a true privilege to have all four, but I can not do it by myself.  It requires nurturing and guidance to grow into healthy, thriving human beings in such a cold generation.  Prayer is my weapon. I am a prayer warrior. My biggest strength is prayer. Do not tell me that nothing has work; unless you pray and fast. The answer will always be prayer. So go pray for your children and you will receive your answer! Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray…..

If you're a parent you probably do a lot for your kids.  Do you pray? While I wish my own mom was a role model of prayer, I make sure that my children have a role model so that they can plant the seed in their children and children of their children.  As the Bible says: “Am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the father on the children, on the third and fourth generation”. A praying mother is not just birthing children, she is breaking curses, birthing legacies, prophets and deliverers.  

Raising children is not easy. The obstacles we are up against are more challenging than ever before. But today in Butterfly by Grace “Mommy and Daughter’s blog” I encourage all women to discover the profound power of a mother’s prayer, which can change your current story into a testimony. A mother’s prayer can transcend physical limitations to guide, protect, and nurture your children and grandchildren.  There is something about a mother that prays. Where there is a praying mother there is victory. Mother’s protect, comfort, nurse, guide, Love, Teach, Hug, Kiss, provide, encourage, discipline, and influence their children, among other things. A mothers prayer transcends physical barriers and reaches where she cannot. I can testify that most of my prayers for my children have been answered.  There is something special, unique, and humble in a mothers prayers. There is a breakthrough and generational curses being broken; where there is a mother standing in the gap. Jesus has given us all power over the enemy. “Truly I tell you whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven”. Mathew 18:18.  

Lets Pray!

Father God we pray in the name of Jesus for our struggling sons and daughters, for every child and grandchild reading this blog; we pray for their hurting, confusion and wrestling with tough decisions.  Father God; many of these kids have walked away from you, from their faith. Lord, give parents wisdom as they seek to be an encouragement to them. May they call on you for wisdom and help in their time of need. May their children be young men of noble character, uncompromising in their faith. We pray that they do not feel inferior but will grow in confidence knowing that their identity is found in Jesus Christ. May they surround themselves with people of faith. May these children know their calling. Give them prophetic dreams. Put a burning fire within them. Hand pick their friends, God. We pray that they learn the importance of having a prayer life. Lord, over all I pray for all moms struggling. We agree with Jesus and take over all authority over our children. Put your spirit on all moms praying for their children. I declare in the name of Jesus that all praying warriors are lifted high, that we humble ourselves, we repent,  we confess; there is power in the name of Jesus. Jesus is not dead! Satan, I bind you right now in the name of Jesus. You have no authority over our children. Because we are submitted to God, we can resist you and you have to flee. In the name of Jesus. Amen

 

 

Anxiety in the Heart!

God is Within her!

 “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day…The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalm 46:5,7

Have you ever felt that God is with everyone else and answers all their prayers except for yours? Have you ever felt that you are not worthy? Have you ever felt your prayers are not being heard? 

God loves you and wants to use you. No matter how bad things get, we have nothing to fear. We're vulnerable to unpredictable situations, but in God, we have rest. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Our hope is in the Lord. He is our Rock. He is our salvation. 

Life offers us challenges each and every day some other day worse than others. We are being bombarded with evil in the world today; and the Love of many has grown cold.  The Bible tells us that because of the increase of wickedness, the Love of most will grow cold, this is a warning given to the Church. When our prayers aren't answered, our natural response is to pull away, thinking God doesn't care and doesn't really love us. But it is these times when we need to draw closer to God even when we don't see anything happening. There was once or a few times in my life that I remember asking God to reveal my heart.  I was praying wondering if there may be some hindering in my prayers from being answered. True is that many of my prayers; most and all have been answered for the Glory of God. I remember when I found out that I was pregnant with twins. The  hospital that I worked at the time had a chapel where I loved to pray.  Knowing that I already have two boys; I pray every day to God to please consider and listen to the petitions of my heart. I ask every day to please grant me the desires of my heart to have a baby girl.  God knew exactly that asking him for a girl was more than just a baby girl. I have always been a loner. Not known for popularity, never walked with groups and never had many friends. I grew up rejected by my siblings and hated before I knew it. God answered my petition with a daughter. She is today a leader in the church for the Glory of God. I prayed for my husband. God gave me a man of God. His love and respect for me means everything. He is there on my good days and on my bad days he still loves me. I did not want to get married. I really made his life hard. God sent me so many messengers to tell me; he is the one. We have been together and counting our blessings for twenty-three years. I pray for a house. God bless us with a beautiful home. I pray for my career. I pray for God to help me pass my boards. Today, for the Glory of God I am a registered nurse in New York and New Jersey. I just graduated with my BSN. God is still writing my page. I am currently doing my masters. I pray for my two older boys and today he is serving the Lord. My journey has many bruises. I have failed. I have been  betrayed two many times. I have been humiliated by publicity and I have failed many materials in college. I struggle with rejection and fear for years. I pray and pray to God. I have been redeemed. He paid my debt. Today, I walked with God, and not ashamed, not embarrassed and nor as a failure. Life is not easy. Life will throw you curve balls.  God will answer your prayer before you know it. As God sent Gabriel to let Daniel know what was happening in the heavens. After three weeks of mourning and seeking answers, Daniel experienced another divine encounter, which explained to him the spiritual battle that was going on. Stay firm and keep praying. God will send you a messenger too. He is listening to your prayers. He will give you the strength you need. Today in Butterfly by Grace Mommy and daughter blog I want to encourage you. Don't stop praying. You can do this. You are not alone! Remember “Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but it is against the rulers, it is against the power of this world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Please share with us your comets! We want to pray for you. God bless you.

Reveal the root of our conditions, help us, change us for your glory God. We know that you can and you will.  Oh Jesus come and help us. As the battle rages in the heavenly realm, please Lord just give us the strength.  Thank you for answering our prayers in the name of Jesus.
