Massive Wave; Need Prayer!


A few days ago, I dreamt that I was on the beach and a massive wave was approaching the shore but I didn’t move. I wondered why?

It’s hard to write now on my blog. I’m going to focus on the Lord in prayer and His Word for a few weeks so please don’t worry about me. I need your prayers and encouragement. Your blogs lift me up when I visit you; I’m blessed to know so many bloggers who love Jesus and I will continue to read your posts and be inspired! Know that I hold your prayer requests near and dear to my heart and will continue to pray faithfully for you. That is a promise!

The spiritual battle against my family rages. One precious sister commented to me that the warfare is not so much about all the issues that the enemy is falsely accusing our family members about as it is about the Name of God! This battle belongs to Him. I praise Him for His faithfulness.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10

Please pray for the upcoming court date on June 4. We believe God for vindication. Pray for our protection, especially my only granddaughter who is only 19 months old.

I love you all and I’m grateful for your friendship! Thank you for your uplifting comments and emails over the past months. The love of Jesus shines big in you. I feel your love and prayers.

    Oh sweetie, you are so right. The battle belongs to the LORD. My family is struggling, too. I keep reminding myself it is HIS battle and I need to keep my nose out of it and simply pray! So hard for me to do, sometimes!
    Maybe the wave coming at you is the mighty power of our Heavenly Father washing the mud and slush of your earthly mess away....I envision you sitting in a heavenly glow after the wave has passed with a great big smile on your face, declaring once again: HE IS MY GOD...HE REIGNS VICTORIOUS IN THE MESSES OF MY LIFE AND THOSE I LOVE! I praise GOD for HE has done and what HE will do in and through your life and the lives of those you love.
    Big hugs and lots of prayers,
    andrea

    PS: Mary, if you need anything...please let me know. My email is: aperdue7@comcast.net

    I think that the wave in your dream indicates the onslaught of the enemy toward you right now and you standing there not moving indicates you recognizing that the storms can rage but you will stand fully confident that it will pass over and you will not be moved even as it recedes! Tenacious as a bull dog to see the victory that Jesus has provided for you manifested in your life!!

    "....having put on His armor, resist and stand your ground on the evil day. and, having done all that the crisis demands, stand firmly in your place. stand therefore and hold your ground...." Ephesians 6:13,14

    I will be praying for you over the next weeks Mary!!! Victory is yours!!!

    Praying that God's grace and mercy wash over you and your family in a mighty wave of His glory!

    Love the verse in Proverbs. It was one of my scripture memory verses last year.

    Hey Mary.....Even though I've been out of the bloggy loop allot lately, I want you to know that you and your family have been on my heart and I continue to pray for victory, victory, victory in the Mighty Name of Jesus!

    My immediate thought about the wave and the part about you not moving.........You, Mary, know who you are in Christ and are established in your authority as a Daughter of the King! You shall not be MOVED off the the promises He has given you for your family....the enemy knows it and will try his best to bring an onslaught (massive wave), BUT YOU ARE FIRMLY ESTABLISHED IN HIM and will win this battle through Him!!! Glory to God!!! I believe this dream was from the heart of God to encourage you......you and your family are not going to be washed away and "taken under" by the enemies strategies......Hallelujah!!

    I have added the June 4th court date to my prayer journal.....Oh yes - sweet friend, I'm standing in agreement with you in faith believing for the Hand of God to move, defend and protect you and your family!!!

    ....."When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him" Isaiah 59:19

    HE IS FAITHFUL!!!!

    Luv, Hugs and Sweet Blessings!

    The dream and wave reminded me of an old song I sang in church as a kid "I shall not be, I shall not be moved" The world may be crashing around you, but you belong to the Lord and that will never be taken from you. I will definitely be praying for your family and for favor in whatever it is that is going on!! Love and Blessings to you!!

    I felt it was a prophetic vision that you're trying not to fail to miss that massive wave of God's Spirit! The battle belongs to the Lord! Amen! Keeping you close in thoughts and prayers always sister Mary. Take care of yourself, too. God bless you and protect you and your family. Love you in Christ.

    Absolutely that prayer will follow you even though you aren't blogging any longer.

    Just reminder to rejoice in everything and don't let the enemy steal your joy or love. Use it as the weapon God gave you to do battle. Stay positive and keep praying in everything!

    Hold on to your scriptures deep in your heart, arm yourself with the armor God provided, He can't put it on for us, but He created it to help us against attacks from the enemy. Use His will to fight against feelings in our heart and minds. Hold fast to Him and He will bring you through this storm.

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat

    Mary:

    Please know that I am going to be praying for you every day. I don't know the situation and that is not important... it's all known to God, and I will pray for His guidance and the answers to the prayers of your heart. I love the verse... it's His promise for you right now, in this time.

    Praying and trusting for you and your family.

    Hugs and love,

    Will be praying for you and the Peace that Passes ALL understanding will guard your heart and mind! Binding all Fear, Doubt, Worry, and Anxiety and Releasing Peace, Trust, Joy, and Faith! Remember each day that renewing you mind, taking every thought captive and making them obey Christ. God knows your heart Mary and He knows your concerns and you can't do this on your own but HE CAN and will! This wave feels HUGE to you but to God is NOT....IT will NOT overcome you Mary! You can walk through this with HIM and I believe you and your family will be stronger on the other side!

    I know HE is going ahead of you and yours and preparing the way! Our family will be in prayer for your sweet family and I know God will be your Vindicator! Victory is yours!

    I love you dear dear friend of mine!

    I am agreeing with you for complete victory. I would encourage you to praise Him on THIS side of your victory. There is great power in praise. Praise silences the mouth of the avenger.

    You are a powerful warrior, Mary. I have no doubt you will stand, and be made to stand, for your peace and His glory!

    You've been on my mind often in recent days. I'm thinking Debbie and I will have to pay Prescott a return visit before I leave AZ for yet another time of fellowship.

    Until then, prayers & hugs,

    Mary, I'm so sorry I am just reading this post now!

    I know that May 21 was a date of importance to you. I will continue to pray for you and your family and the issues that are confronting you.

    Lord, I pray now that your hand will be upon little Susanna. Protect your child and keep her safe. I pray for Carrie. Please give her wisdom, peace and patience in the midst of these court dates. I continue to lift up Mary as her mother's heart is hurting. Provide her with Your Comfort and Peace as only You can do. Amen.

    Love you Mary,
    Debbie

    Precious Sister, you know the Holy Spirit brings you and your family to my heart OFTEN and then I pray again.

    I remain believing GOD in every area. Where His Hand of Delivering & Healing Power is needed may it be done in Jesus Name!!!

    Perfect Scripture you shared for the Name of the Lord is indeed a strong tower and the righteous run in and are indeed safe in HIM and I'm so thankful.

    Remember the battle is not in the natural (Eph 6) so I stand praying with you and for you and your family.

    Much love.

    You've got my prayers, sister, and if you'd like to talk further, shoot me an email. I don't need to know the specifics, but I do understand the nature of the enemy's attack against God's people. You're right the battle belongs to the Lord. Receive everything as if it were happening to Christ, and as much as you are able, give the battle over to his very capable hands.

    Lots of love and peace~elaine

Baby Died

  Leave it to Baby to exit this world on an exciting Eclipse Day.   Talk about a grand departure!   I remember well the day I drove to the pet store.   It was 40 years ago and our youngest enrolled in kindergarten.   The house seemed too quiet all of a sudden.   I needed a friend.   I remember praying before I shopped for a bird.   Not a fragile parakeet this time, but I asked for a strong bird whose sounds would fill up our empty rooms.   I chose a young cockatiel and the family named him Baby.   Baby was a little too loud, but funny to have around especially when Tom came home from his job with the phone company.   He wore a pager back then and got in the habit of turning it off, back on and off again before setting it down by his wallet and keys.   Baby echoed the pager call perfectly and made us laugh every time.   I figured Baby, such a perky bird, would last a long time, but never expected him to hit the typical 15-20 year mark let alone 40!   I should have kept his papers.

The Lesson of the Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

Years ago when I pretended to be Pioneer Woman of my small town’s newspaper, I caught wind of a story that circulated at the elementary school. Second Grade Students wrote about “How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.”  I giggled at the teacher’s assignment but after reading some of the papers, I asked her if I could visit her class and talk to her students in order to feature them in my next column. This is what I learned! I learned generosity from a kid, Chad, who wrote:  “ I put the peanut butter & jelly on each piece of the bread, and then I add more peanut butter & jelly and put it together.” I learned organizational skills from a girl, Sunshine, who named each ingredient and wrote about shutting the refrigerator door when you take out the jelly and putting the peanut butter back after you make the sandwich. I learned that specific details assure success from a black & white thinker named Jason who wrote:  “ Only use Skippy P

Abba's Lap

I noticed a behavior pattern in little Amy, twenty months old, that I want to imitate.  She moves fast engaging in one toddler activity after another spinning like a whirlwind from one room to another.  Yet, she pauses,  intermittently , long enough to get refreshed.   I want to be like this grandchild of mine because she knows where to go and how to get comforted. Amy moves at record speed, putting more miles on a pedometer in one hour than my accumulated weekly workouts at the gym.  She can build a skyscraper so tall, I wonder why those bright pink Lego’s don’t topple to the ground as she continues to stack just one more piece on top. I learned never to leave the room to get another cup of coffee.  Once, when I returned, I found her climbing past the couch with hands and feet reaching for the living room drapes. She has a consistent habit that I admire.  In the midst of her activities, as she moves robustly from one play area to another, she pauses in front of her
