Rise Up and Pray for Our Children!


The other night while watching Facing the Giants, God revealed something to me.  It was during the scene where the older gentleman prayed as he walked down the hallway while laying hands on the students’ lockers.  Over the next few days I could not get that scene out of my head.  I prayed and asked God what does He want me to do? He said, encourage the church to take their children back from the lies of the enemy!! I pray that this will shake you up as it did me when God first laid this question on my heart. I pray you heed His word.

Do you want your children to go to hell?



What?? Why would you ask such a question?! I know that's probably going through your mind right now.  So, why would I ask a question like this? Because GOD is asking this of YOU!!



It's time we stop sitting back, letting others do what we should be doing.  Stop waiting for the day to 'meet me at the flag pole' to pray for our children.  It's OUR job to lift these kids up in prayer and believe Jesus will change their lives!! Don’t wait on the pastor or youth leader to do it for you.  The children are the next generation and if we don't pray for them, the easier it will be for the enemy to creep in and fill their heads with lies.  The enemy would love nothing more than to get your child farther from the Truth, Jesus! Teach your children to pray for themselves and study the scriptures.  I cannot stress enough the importance of a deep relationship with Christ.  There's a spiritual battle going on.  The enemy is waging war against those who believe in Christ Jesus.  Are we going to sit back and be defeated or are we going to put on our ARMOR and take a stand against the wiles of the devil and fight for our children? (Ephesians 6:10-18).  BE THEIR EXAMPLE and teach them how to defeat the enemy with scriptures!



You might be thinking, ‘what does that scene from the movie have to do with my child?’ Those lockers at the school belonged to someone else’s children, but that didn’t stop him from praying for them.  We don’t know who the lockers belong to, but God does.  God hears their silent cries for help in whatever they may be facing.  I attend church at a middle school and I took that challenge today.  If we attend church together, you might've seen me walking down the hallways praying and laying hands on the lockers and doorways.  Now, I don't say that for a pat on the back or hey look what I did, no! I did it because I want to be obedient and I'm practicing what I preach.   



My challenge for you is this - If you gather together with other believers at a school, lay hands on each locker, each doorway, even windows, (if possible).  You may be the one needed to intercede for a child who's desperate for Jesus. 



So, I ask the question again...Do you want your children to go to hell? If your answer is NO, and I pray that it is, then it's time to RISE UP!!  The bible says that WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS, (Romans 8:37).   Let’s CONQUER the enemy together in Jesus name!!!





Blessings,

Lisa

There's a Snake in Your Garden

Image
I once heard a story about a couple who were having a quiet evening when their dogs suddenly began barking. They got louder, so the husband went outside to check on things. In a panic, he called to his wife and told her there was a snake in the corner of the entryway. While she kept an eye on the 4-foot snake, he went and got a shovel and a knife. After taking care of the snake, reality hit. In order for her husband to get out the front door, he passed right by the snake that could’ve struck out and bit him, or worse. God protected them both from harm. We must be careful to keep watch of our surroundings, especially our homes. The enemy will use any way possible to slither in and lay in wait to strike out and destroy. Just like he did when he made his move on Eve in the garden. He convinced her that it was okay to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge and that nothing bad would happen. And so, she ate the fruit, then gave it to Adam to eat. But what happened after they ate...

Get on the Train or Watch it Go By!

 Hello friend! I wanted to share something with you that God spoke to me a few months ago. We've been praying for revival and I have this sense that it's coming soon! Here's what God spoke to me: Revival is coming like in the days of Noah. It is coming in a whirlwind of fire and we need to be ready. We need to make the decision whether or not we are going to get on the train, or watch it go by. Revival will come in God's timing, not ours. The church has been coddled for far too long. There are those who will close their ears to what is being said because they haven’t fully committed their lives to Christ. They like to hear what I call the ‘fluff a nutters.’ They want to hear a feel good message instead of a message that’s going to challenge us to be doers and not just hearers of the word. A message that will make us run, not walk, to the altars and ask God to forgive us for our sins. A message that will ignite the fire within us to want to go out and preach the gospel l...

What's Been Going On...

 Hello everyone!  It's been a while and exciting things are happening! 😁  I have FINALLY taken that scary step and quit my job to concentrate on becoming an indie author. I did pray and seek God for His guidance and He opened that door wide! I'm currently putting together my first ever poetry collection AND my first novella, To Smile Again. I am waiting on the cover design and working on edits.  I'm SO excited you have no idea! 😆 I'm praying they will be ready for publication by August/September 2021.  Something else that I have added to my writing adventure is...YouTube!!! Yep, I started  vlogs documenting my writing progress. It's been so much fun, but I say 'um' a lot. 😂 Well that's about all I've got going on. I hope you're doing well and don't forget. When you feel like giving up...KEEP PUSHING ON!!!!  Blessings 💮
