Mona's Devotional - Scriptures 6/12/2022

6/12/2022

​June 12, 2022
This past week we had a great conference at Mtn High. It wasn’t huge but intimate, sincere, relational, healing, transparent, full of His love, joy and peace. Many came caring heavy burdens of grief from losing a spouse, or family member. Many were full of discouragement and heaviness. Some were in bondage to fear over issues in their lives. Some needed refreshed as they were family caregivers. Many seeking the Lord for the next step in the season they are in. It was a peaceful week enjoying His presence and love through one another.
 
I am one who was healed in many areas of my heart, at least I am healing and see where I need healed. There’s been lots on my plate lately and I’m not always sure the direction I am to go but I received many words from the Lord, many answers from Him and some direction. I have so much on my heart that I will be writing about soon. I do not have much to share from myself this week but I will share some scriptures that have ministered to me a lot. His Word is far above anything I would say.
 
Meditate on these verses. Ask the Lord to show you how they speak to your life. His Word is always alive and will never return void so expect His Word to touch you heart and life in deep ways.
 
“Your new life began when the Holy Spirit gave you a new birth. Why then would you so foolishly turn from living in the Spirit by trying to finish by your own.” Galatians 3:3
 
“But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. So now, beloved ones, stand firm, stable, and enduring. Live your lives with an unshakable confidence. We know that we prosper and excel in every season by serving the Lord, because we are assured that our union with the Lord makes our labor productive with fruit that endures.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 
 
“So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give.” Romans 8:31-32
 
“Not one promise from God is empty of power. Nothing is impossible with God.”
Luke 1:37
 
“Feast on the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities and not the distractions of the natural realm” Colossians 3:2
 
“Put your heart and soul into every activity you do, as though you are doing it for the Lord Himself and not merely for others.” Colossians 3:23
 
“Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear.I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.”
Psalm 23:4
 
“Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached love’s perfection. Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us.” 1 John 4:18
 
I could expound on each verse but you ask the Lord to show you how these words can touch your life. They are powerful.
 
Blessings to each of you and I know the Lord has something great and awesome for you and will speak it to your heart as you sit quietly listening. Love to you all!

Mona's Devotional - Word for World Conference 6/5/2022

6/5/2022

June 5, 2022
This week we have the opportunity to host a conference here at our place. A couple days ago the Lord kept me awake at night praying and woke me up writing this word from Him.
 
The Lord has been putting on my heart that this is beyond what our eyes are seeing. It’s beyond getting an elevator, cleaning the place, fixing meals, finding host homes and help. There’s something going on in the Spiritual realm that has the potential to explode this ministry and the church family into new realms. The Light from this Lighthouse will shine brighter, the praises won’t stay within the 4 walls but will fill the air of these mountains. Prayers will be fervent. This family will be in unity and one accord as we pray and intercede for what is ahead.
 
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
For this time this ministry was born. This is a time like no other in our life time and this is the time for us to shine in Him. This month marks 28 years of Pastoring Mtn High! We’ve been ministering for 40 years. The words, prophecies, declarations, visions, dreams that have been spoken are about to come to pass. This time of assembling together will bring so much hope and freedom to everyone. Bondages, chains will be broken. Marriages healed in the Name of Jesus. Sickness GONE! It won’t be ale to continue in the anointing of His Presence.
These trees will be clapping their hands and proclaiming His goodness from the top of this hill. People will be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit. Children healed! Finances won’t bow to the world’s standards. Children will be filled with the spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and prophesying to the adults!!
Ministries will be birthed. Many people will be able to leave behind the fears of this world’s situations and stand up! Stand strong! Stand firm in Him! People driving by will pull in just to see what is happening.
For those that can be here it will be vital you make the time and choice to come. Many distractions will come to keep folks from coming. Each will have to choose this day who they will serve – Jesus or distractions! This ministry is not a drop in the bucket that the enemy is ignoring!
Wow! It was so powerful as I was hearing the Lord say one thing after another. But the biggest thing He was giving me was that I couldn’t be so involved with the details and tasks of this conference. My number one position is to be praying and interceding. So, I have been the last few days. As I clean and work at the church, I’m praying for every person that will sit at a table to eat, sit in a chair to hear a message, walk through the doors of this Lighthouse. It’s been an amazing peaceful time. The enemy keeps trying to tell me Mom is going to be sick or something is going to happen out of my control.  I let the enemy know it is all out of my control and in the hands of Jesus.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me, ”Says the Lord.” Isaiah 54:17
I love this verse. No weapon formed will prosper!! This is our heritage!
 
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
 
Let us come together boldly this week as we pray. The power of agreement is powerful! Every time we release our prayers, every time we agree, more is happening in the Spirit. As we proclaim His Word, speak His Truth boldly or command that His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven, we are releasing His power!
 
“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16
 
“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 18:18
 
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
 
As we continue in prayer, praying in one accord, declaring His word, persevering in prayer, we are partnering with God.
 
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. John 17:20-23
 
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” 1 John 5:14-15
 
I am so excited for to come together declaring His victory over all the attacks that the enemy is using to try and stop us! He has been trying to fill my mind with fears that involve family that would stop me from ministering this week. I heard Dutch Sheets say this this week, “If your voice had no power, they wouldn’t try to stop you.”
 
Let’s stand firmly together and let no enemy stop us from going forward and proclaiming His love. Just continue to pray that no weapon can prosper. Pray for open hearts to receive. Pray those that are to be at this gathering will be here.
 
“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.” Acts 4:31

Mona's Devotional - Psalm 92 05/22/2022

5/31/2022

May 22, 2022
It’s been a sweet week in the Lord. I ended up with a cold but continued to speak and believe healing and each day I improved. It was our oldest son and daughter’s 25th anniversary! Wow, time flies. It was the year anniversary of Caleb’s home going and a year since we had put down our 13-year-old dog, Frank. We were able to get a few much-needed things done outside before the big snow and also spent time preparing for the conference, which was a great blessing. My Mom ended up not feeling well and has been in bed for a whole day resting and healing and still is needing prayer. There were so many opportunities to get my mind off in a direction that wouldn’t bring victory. One thing the Lord had us begin to do this week was to each share a verse the Lord put on our hearts and then we discussed them. What joy it was to each bring a word that encouraged all of us. He knew what we each needed. Plus we had the much welcomed moisture!
 
When I was in Tennessee, I was looking through scriptures and cross references and one cross reference took me to Psalm 92. I go to Psalm 91 a lot and have read 92 but it was the words I needed to hear in this season. After my message last week of keeping filled up with Him, His words, His joy and peace these words from Psalm 92 filled my “teapot” to overflowing. I will expound on verses as we read through it. 
 
A Song of Praise – Psalm 92 The Passion Translation
A song for the day of worship 
   It’s so enjoyable to come before you with uncontainable praises spilling from our hearts! How we love to sing our praises over and over to you, to the matchless God, high and exalted over all! Isn’t this beautiful! I like the “uncontainable praises spilling from our heart” Spilling from inside me and you.
 
   At each and every sunrise we will be thanking you for your kindness and your love.
As the sun sets and all through the night, we will keep proclaiming, “You are so faithful!” At EACH and EVERY sunrise we thank Him for His kindness and love! EVERY SINGLE morning that is what the first words from our mouth should be. Thanking Him! As the sun goes down and all through the night, we are to be proclaiming His faithfulness. These thoughts would always bring sweet sleep and no sleepless, anxious nights.
 
   Melodies of praise will fill the air as every musical instrument, joined with every heart, overflows with worship. We are to be joined with every heart as we fill the air with melodies of praise and worship until our hearts overflow! Imagining every heart joined together in praise is so glorious.
 
   No wonder I’m so glad; I can’t keep it in! Lord, I’m shouting with glee over all you’ve done, for all you’ve done for me: This should be our attitude – so undone in Him that we are so glad we can’t keep it in! We are shouting with glee everywhere we go. All who see us know that our pots are overflowing with all our joy!
 
   What mighty miracles and your power at work—just to name a few! Depths of purpose and layers of meaning saturate everything you do. Words that saturate all we do – mighty miracles – depths of purpose – layers of meaning. Let them saturate your mind and heart.
 
   Such amazing mysteries are found within every miracle that nearly everyone seems to miss. Those with no discernment can never really discover the deep and glorious secrets hidden in your ways. These verses made me stop and wonder. “Amazing mysteries are found within every miracle that nearly everyone seems to miss.” His secrets, His mysteries that are ours to know - we are missing. I want to discover the deep and glorious secrets! This will come from staying close to His heart and in His Word.
 
   It’s true the wicked flourish, but only for a moment; they foolishly forget their destiny with death, that they will all one day be destroyed forevermore. Sometimes it’s hard to watch the wicked flourish but the Lord says only for a moment. We are in His arms and safe
   But you, O Lord, are exalted forever in the highest place of endless glory, while your opponents, the workers of wickedness, will all perish, forever separated from you.
 
   Your anointing has made me strong and mighty. You’ve empowered my life for triumph by pouring fresh oil over me. Let’s put His anointing of strength and might in our “teapot” so it can be poured out on others. We are empowered by fresh oil – the Holy Spirit.
 
   You’ve said that those lying in wait to pounce on me would be defeated, and now it’s happened right in front of my eyes, and I’ve heard their cries of surrender! What a joy it is to see victory and answered prayers right before us. It’s always happening right in front of and with eyes that are opened to see Him we will see things we never thought possible.
 
   Yes! Look how you’ve made all your devoted lovers to flourish like palm trees, each one growing in victory, standing with strength! In Psalm 1:3 it says “He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous.” “He, you, me” means the one that is meditating on the word day and night.
 
   You’ve transplanted them into your heavenly courtyard, where they are thriving before you, for in your presence they will still overflow and be anointed.
Even in their old age they will stay fresh, bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully.
I love it! Here is one of those promises for old age. As we are planted in Him and thriving in His presence, we will stay fresh, bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully! Not just bearing fruit but luscious!
 
   Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim: “You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength! You’ve never made a mistake with me.” With pleasure we proclaim - “You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength! You’ve never made a mistake with me”.
 
   No matter what is going on in your life, no matter what circumstances you are facing, the anointing of this Psalm will cause uncontainable praises spilling from our heart, His faithfulness to be seen at every sunrise and sunset, melodies of praise will overflow with worship, you to not be able to keep your shouts to yourself, His ways to saturate all you do, amazing mysteries in every miracle, the wicked to only last a moment, my life to be empowered for triumph, the enemy is defeated, me to flourish like a palm trees and be fresh, bearing luscious fruit, abiding faithfully in my old age, and to say to my Lord - “You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength! You’ve never made a mistake with me”.
 
   Thank you, Lord for Your Word, Your love, Your faithfulness and Your goodness!

Mona's Devotional - What is in my Teapot? 05/15/2022

5/18/2022

May 15, 2022
This last year I have learned a lot. Made many mistakes and have been healed of a broken heart. This week marks one year of Caleb’s death. I want to share one of the greatest truths I lived this past year. The Lord showed me that our lives are as teapots. Whatever is in our teapot is what we decide. As a “teapot”, what are you full of? Doubt? Fear? Condemnation? Anger? Strife? Selfishness? When any of these things become a habit or reoccurring problem you get drained empty of the faith you need in the heat of trouble. The wrong thing in our teapot will cause us not to be able to handle the pressure of persecution and hard times or actually just in day. You don’t want to live a life that causes you give in or cave in to the pressures of the world because you have nothing to draw from.  “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5
 
“Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” But this He said in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” John 7:37-39
 
“And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live…. for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes.” Ezekiel 47:9
 What you put in your “teapot” is what will come out. These verses are telling us that the Holy Spirit has been poured out within us and that living rivers of water will flow in those who have received Him. Ezekiel says where the river goes there will be life. Everything will live where the river flows. That is the same in our lives – if we are letting the Living Water – the Spirit flow through us – there will always be an abundance of life.
 
What you choose to think on and believe is what you will have. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he..” Proverbs 23:7 How will what you believe in your heart or have your teapot full of work when there are tough times?
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:4-9
 
I need to determine today – now – make up my mind, know beyond a shadow of doubt what I want to be poured out of me. I need to be sure that my heart is guarded and I’m putting His truths in so that is all that comes out of me. This has to be His truth not just feelings. His truths of whatever is true, noble, pure, lovely, of good report, praiseworthy. The Word tells us the answer but sometimes we just want to fill our teapot with whatever and get His results. If you let feelings steer your life, you will be in the ditch!
 
We each must make up our minds to let His living water flow through us. Get that? Flow through us. That is pouring out of our teapot to others. In the above verses it says to rejoice always – ALWAYS rejoice – then it says to pray and be thankful and His peace will be beyond what you can imagine. It starts with rejoicing or being joyful and ends with peace that is beyond our comprehension and sandwiched in the middle is prayer of thanksgiving. When our hearts determine to walk in love and joy then that is what will come forth from us. It’s not always easy but it’s obedience to His Word ALWAYS brings life!
 
The Word says there will be trouble in this world. “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.” 1 Peter 4:12-13
He told us in His Word that there will be hard times but He gave us EVERY answer to live victorious no matter what is happening. Joy breaks the power of whatever is keeping us down. His joy. Pour joy in your teapot and see what comes out. Be joyful on purpose, intentionally. This is a verse the Lord gave me this past year that works in my life when I live by it.
“Since we are approaching the end of all things, be intentional, purposeful, and self-controlled so that you can be given to prayer.” 1 Peter 4:7 Passion
 
This takes faith. Faith comes by hearing the word. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 What is in your teapot is either His Word through the Living Water of His Spirit or your own concoction. I decide, you decide. Don’t wait for Him to do something. It’s what you believe and speak in your heart that will determine what comes forth from you. You have a choice of your thoughts and words. The Lord, the Holy Spirit is already in you and has given you everything you ever need to be victorious but if you don’t believe it and receive it you will live in lack. We are filling our lives and minds with Him, His ways, His Word or we filling it with our choice of problems. Take a little anger, add discouragement plus some fear and you have a poison in your teapot that can hurt and destroy you and those you pour it on. We decide, it doesn’t just happen. Either you are filled up with Him because you are surrendered to Him or the world is filling you with its poison.
 
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.” Isiah 54:17
This is one of my favorite verses. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper”. There are weapons formed against you but we don’t have to let them prosper!!! The Living Water that flows through you will keep these attacks from prospering.
 
How do you see yourself? What do you see your teapot full of? Doubt, condemnation, strife, anger, fear, selfishness are all identity thieves. They make you forget who you are in Christ! They don’t have faces of their own so they steal yours! “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:23-25
 
Faith comes by hearing the Word but faith without works is dead. You cannot be just a hearer of the Word and not a doer of the Word. There is an action. The action is believing with our hearts, intentionally and purposefully getting into the Word and mediating on His truths. Making choices to not look at, listen to or walk in the ways of the world. “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.” Psalm 1:1-3
 
Take time to look and see what is coming out of your teapot. If it isn’t what you want, dump it out and be filled with Him to overflowing. Pour out and overflow with Him!

Mona's Devotional - Mom's Day 05/08/2022

5/18/2022

Comments

 
May 8, 2022
         Happy Mother’s Day!!! I’m going to start this writing by first thanking my Mom. I am thankful for my Mom, who will be 92 in a couple months. I thank the Lord for giving me a Mom who believed in the Lord and raised me up to believe and trust in Him also. She is an amazing woman and Mom to this day. She’s struggled with a lot of emotional pain this last year. Even though she’s been in a wheelchair for a few years and has some tough situations in her life, she thanks the Lord each day she is alive. She enjoys sunshiny days, snowy days, loves to watch the birds and sings with them when she hears them singing. She loves looking at clouds, flowers, horses, cattle and wildlife. She stops to smell the flowers along her path and notices the little critters or different rocks along her way. She’s learned what’s valuable in life and I’m thankful I can call her MOM.
         I am also thankful for my “sisters”.  God created women to be different than men so that when we come together in a marriage we complement each other. God created women with interests and desires that can only be fulfilled through a relationship with other women. Isn’t that amazing?  He created us to desire close friendships. He created women with feelings and compassions that only another woman could really deep down understand.
         Then I want to thank the Lord for my children who made me Mother too. I am so blessed with my 5 children and who they are as individuals. They are now full fledge adults that are raising amazing children themselves. But no matter how old they are a mother’s heart loves them just as much today as when they were little ones. It’s almost hard to explain or understand but I thank the Lord daily for my wonderful blessings. I also thank Him for the spouses my children chose and feel so blessed to have 10 children to love. Then there are the 25 grandchildren that touch my heart like nothing I can explain. My heart is so full of love for all my family, I would have never thought I could really love so many people so deeply. I know it’s all because of the Lord and His love working through me.
         Today I want to write to Moms and women in general. Even if you are not a Mom in the physical most women were created with a mother’s heart to love and nurture others. I have a heart to minister to other moms and especially young women as I believe we all have a very special call on our lives from the Lord and it can seem to get lost in real life. During this time we are in you have the opportunity to impart love and truth into your children’s hearts and lives like never before. If the Word is truth and true, which it is, the younger generations will face much harder situations than we are now but the Lord showed me they were born and created for such a time as this. As they see your faith in Him, your strength in Him, it will give them an example to follow.
         When I was 10 my Dad passed away suddenly. Naturally, my Mom had some very hard times. My brothers and I watched her trust the Lord, put all her faith in Him and stand strong and courageous to provide for us 3 kids. We never once saw her waiver in her relationship with Jesus. She taught us His Word with her words and actions. Then 13 years later I was in the exact same situation, a young widow with 3 children. Her example was what got me through this time when she didn’t live close enough to help me. No one knew what to say to help me. Few knew how to console a 23 year old widow. But I remembered my Mom’s words and example. It was a blessing and God given gift to me. We never know what is ahead but we do know our children and others are watching us and how we deal with situations.
         What you say, what you do, the little ones and others are watching. All of us as moms, grandmas and women are in a place in history most of us have never experienced before. Our focus now, rather it’s on the truths of the Lord or on the things and fears of world, is going to affect our children’s lives. What a joy it is to give our children the greatest gift – the gift of example as we trust and serve the Lord. The gift of showing them that His faith is working through us. These young ones already have such a great faith – the faith of a child. We can help keep that strong by not squelching it with what we say and do. What if you are struggling with all this change and situations yourself? This is your/our chance to stop, look to the Lord and seek His wisdom and let Him show us what to do next. This is where older moms and women need to minister and encourage the younger women. “the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—  that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children.” Titus 2:3-4 This is where we can come together in praying for each other. Prayer is something we can always do and it can’t be taken away us. As moms and women, we have sometimes have “one of those days”. There’s no such thing as a perfect mom, grandma, person. That’s why we need to know Him first and His unconditional love for us. We need to believe who we were created to be because He became our sacrifice for sin, then was buried and rose again giving us a new identity in Him. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 NKJV
         We need each other. We weren’t created to be alone and not help one another. The last couple years with mandates in our country have caused some frustrations inside our heart because we are going against His Word and our own hearts. The great thing is that He’s aware of what’s happening in our world and He will give each of us creative ideas on how to pray with others, share with other women and moms and encourage one another. He’s still the victory in all this and “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 NKJV
         Right now, I believe the Lord is encouraging women and moms to stand strong, stand firm and listen to His words for you and your family. Your purpose hasn’t vanished with this mess. Actually, this time has enhanced your purpose and call. None of us will come away from this season in our lives the same and that includes our children. It’s our choice to come away rejoicing and thankful for all we have gleaned from these circumstances and sharing it with others.
         I think my main point of all this is that right now we are history makers and world changers. What we say and do now will make a difference 10 years from now because younger people are watching. Others may also be seeding into your child’s life and heart, some very good but there are things that they are seeing and hearing now that is not good. As their mom you have the God given ability to “Train up a child in the way he should go, teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents, even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6. AMP Father’s and others have a part in this but only moms can give their children certain things. The gifts and love of a mom are like nothing else they will receive in their lives. These are changing times. For myself, I’ve had time for many heart to heart talks with my heavenly Father. It’s time for all of us as women to go deeper in Him so we can do all He has for us to do. Being passive, unstable and unsure are not good character traits for the days ahead. “Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; And she smiles at the future knowing that she and her family are prepared. She opens her mouth in skillful and godly wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue, giving counsel and instruction. She looks well to how things go in her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed, happy, prosperous, to be admired; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying, “Many daughters have done nobly, and well, with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness, but you excel them all.” Charm and grace are deceptive, and superficial beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect, she shall be praised.” Proverbs 31: 25-30 AMP
         Here are some verses that tell us how powerful the faith of our children is: “Lord, your name is so great and powerful! People everywhere see your splendor. Your glorious majesty streams from the heavens, filling the earth with the fame of your name! You have built a stronghold by the songs of babies. Strength rises up with the chorus of singing children. This kind of praise has the power to shut satan’s mouth. Childlike worship will silence the madness of those who oppose you.” Psalm 8:1-2 Passion Singing children and childlike faith shuts the mouth of the enemy! Children are gifted and blessed by God as much as we are but still need guidance and training. As we train them with His Word and our love for the Lord flowing through us, we can learn from their faith. I pray this encourages you to be all God created you to be to encourage, train and love others! Happy Mother’s Day blessed women of God!!!
