Power of Prayer...........This is Worth the Read!

[glamgirl]

Yes snow we have the authority to cast out demons. We don't need to pray and ask God to do it. Take authority over a spirit and you command them to come out. I didn't know what else to do with my h at the time and I am sure God led me to rebuke this demon. It stopped immediately. I was like ok I won game over.

Evil spirits can be so scarry, but with God in our life we are protected.

There is a good website greatbiblestudy that has some really great information on it. I refer to it often for ideas.

I am looking forward to the day when our marriage is restored and people will believe that it was done by God. God keeps telling me that "He will do it."

Thanks Glam...I'll check out that website.

I grew up in a christian home and went to church 3 times a week but I never learned that how to rebuke demons.

I have learned so much in the last 4 plus years.

Amen to that Lorie. Maybe after we get moved we can start going to church again. My h is a little turned off by it now since he doesn't feel people follow what they learn. I think it would be great to get back to church again, but I want my h to lead that charge and feel comfortable with the church we choose.

Oh my gosh Snow I grew up going to church too, but never had a relationship with God. I just happened to meet a wonderful family when I was single and they had home bible studies every Friday night. I just started attending and can remember the first night I was touched by the Holy Spirit.

We were praying and all of a sudden my body was on fire. Well not quite, but you know what I mean. This family prayed in tongues which I knew nothing about, but soon the Lord lead me to pray this way too. Now that was an interesting time for me. Most recently my kids wanted to here me pray like that which I haven't done in years, so I prayed that God allow me to pray like that and it all just came out in tongues. It was exciting.

Haven't heard anyone speaking in tongues yet either. I have learned a lot but I know I have so much more to learn. Baby steps.

Hey all! I just wanted to add some stuff also.
As I said before (don't know if u all read what I wrote earlier), I was prophesied to by a Christian. The Lord told me....the worst was yet to come but if I put it in his hands, I would be well pleased. That was most of it anyway. Now I am pretty sure this was before I was divorced, before my xh moved ow in, before they got married, before they got pregnant and before my son decided, after moving in with his dad, to never speak to me again.
Imagine what I was thinking?...."the worst was yet to com?" I had no idea how it could get any worse, my heart was breaking but it did and all that happened.
One would think that would be enough for a person to lay it all at the foot of the Lord right then and there. I tried and thought I had, but I hadn't.
Since, I have laid it down and trying my best to let God handle it. Sometimes we think we are, but we are not fully doing that.
My xh is remarried to his young 27 or 28 maybe now, year old wife. He is 44. And they have a new baby, over a yr. Old now.
BUT, sometimes I get this feeling that my time with xh isn't over. I have moved on and am dating someone else but something isn't fully right. Sometimes I wonder If I should still be standing after all this? But he is remarried? I don't know.

Also I wanted to add that so many Things happened when my xh left. Things I know was God.
One evening I was talking to my son, while he was still at home, and I told him that [/s][s]God was gonna work it all out and everything was gonna be ok. This was before xh remarried and before our divorce I believe. M son got really angry and screamed....he isn't coming back and he didn't believe what I was saying about God working it out and God could fix this. My son believes in God and says he is saved but he didn't believe his dad was coming home. I started praying that God would let my son know hews real.
We both worked at the same public store for awhile, one evening while at work, my son came up to me an said..."Mom, did you send that big guy to talk to me?"
I said, "What are you talking about?". My son said "A big guy just came thru my line and as he was leaving he put his arm on my shoulder and said...."God wants me to tell you that everything is gonna be alright". Well you can imagine how I felt. This was a complete stranger that said this to my son. I said no son I didn't send him, God did! I fell to the floor thanking God for what he had done and Thanking him for showing my son that he is real!
I owe God so much. I am going thru some hard stuff right now but I know if I just lay my burdens down, God will pick them up.
My sister in law wrote a song about....'Tearing off the roof'. We need to tear off the roof for each other! In other words, we need to pray often for one another. We need to get serious with God and just tear off the roof shouting and praying and worshiping the Lord.

God loves us so much and only wants to spend time with us.

Hugs to all,
Renee

ssl - having God talk to you and to also move in your life is awesome. Until someone experiences it they just don't believe that it can happen.

Whatever God told you you need to believe. Things that you don't know you need to ask God to answer you or to reveal to you. He will answer you.

I don't think that Glam ever thought that the ow would die. Yet that is how God took care of that problem.

I love that "tearing off the roof." I hope I remember that.

After this discussion went on last night I went to bed and I read from a book titled "Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence" by Sarah Young. It is a daily devotional, here was yesterdays:

Don't be so hard on yourself. I can bring good even out of your mistakes. Your finite mind tends to look backward, longing to undo decisions you have come to regret. This is a waste of time and energy, leading only to frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to Me. Look to Me in trust, anticipating that My infinite creativity can weave both good choices and bad into a lovely design.
Because you are human, you will continue to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride. Your failures can be a source of blessing, humbling you and giving you empathy for other people in their weaknesses. Best of all, failure highlights your dependence on Me. I am able to bring beauty out of the morass of your mistakes. Trust Me, and watch to see what I will do.

Lorie - that is awesome. I know those things but when I get caught up in life I forget some of those things.
