While this blog is not intended to cause any controversy or to drive away anyone with “excessive” preaching I must take a moment and share. I am a Christian, my husband is as well. Our children, when they were born, were dedicated to God and raised and educated (I homeschooled my children thru 12th grade) in our home. As adults the responsibility to follow Jesus is now up to them. Both my children have the Word and His love in their hearts, but they are not following Him.
The pastor’s wife suggested this book to me to help fight the spiritual warfare to take back my children from the grips of Satan. So far, it is a powerful read!
And of course, in reading that book, THIS book is read with it – in a more powerful way. I am using it as a sword to cut the spiritual tendrals of satan’s power……
And I am holding tight to this scripture:
Thus says the Lord: Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord. And they shall come back (I put my children’s name in there) from the land of the enemy. Jeremiah 31:16
Thanks for listening to me. I promise not to preach in my blog. But I just started this book this morning and it moved me to know I have to work hard now to get my children back from the land of the enemy.
You are such an amazing mother. I believe that your children feel the love you have for them and know you care and pray for them. That is one of the greatest keys in coming back. God will never cease from loving his children just as you will never stop loving yours. It is such a good thing that they have a wonderful mother who will always be their pillar of faith.
My mother just recently began reading C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters. I’m next in line to borrow and read it when she’s done, but I’d like to look into the one your reading. Let me know if you’d recommend it once you’re done.
Oh Aubrey, you are so sweet! Your words made my heart feel stronger. After I wrote the blog and the day progressed on Abby stopped home after finishing work and her and I had a nice talk. No harsh words, no judgement and no attitudes. It was a great time. She asked for advice and when given with a soft voice and the power of God in your heart, it was accepted without attitude.
I give God the glory for this tiny bit of success.
Thanks for your kind words.
I’m so happy to hear that! God truly knows what is in our hearts and he is right there to guide us. I’ll keep you both in my heart this week and pray things start looking up for your baby girl 🙂
