Hello dear brothers and sisters. Praise to the living God! I am so thankful for the renewed energy and focus, thank you God, thank you Jesus! And thank you and tremendous blessings for everyone who prayed. And I pray often for others here even if I don't have time to write it out, I just pray, I try to respond when I can. I ask that anyone who feels led to do so, please continue to pray for God's will to be done in my family of origin and my in-laws.
I believe God is revealing certain things to me, but ultimately I would like for there to be HEALTHY reconciliation. I do not want the abuse and manipulation to continue--I believe this has been going on in both our families for generations.
I pray that the brokenness in my in-laws and my family of origin would be healed. I do want my family of origin and my husband's family to be free, but if they refuse God's mercy, and grace...and all they want to do is continue to be angry at us, or hurt us...I really pray that the Lord continues to protect us, as he has been, all glory to Him. I was looking through my journals and God revealed a current issue with a family member--that it is a pattern.
I think God revealed that to me because of my prayers, and the prayers here--please keep interceding on my behalf on this. I want to do things for God, especially those things right before me--raising my kids in a Godly way, and being a loving, and Godly wife. I am so thankful that the spiritual oppression and shame has been lifted again, no doubt because of prayer. I know that I have prayed kindly for them, even though they have been unkind to me, and have even expressed contempt towards me. My journals helped me see that.
While I do want them to be healed, I know that I need to be freed from unhealthy responsibility. I do not want to repay evil for evil, but with good. I know Jesus ran away when they sought his life, and since the power of life and death is in the tongue, I do think that the way they speak to me (mostly death), means I do need to "hide" from them, and that might be the most Godly response to these situations. Pray for me to continue to be wise as a serpent but GENTLE as a dove, in my life, thank you dear brothers and sisters, may God bless you today. In the name of Jesus the messiah, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, amen and amen.
