Why Mothers Prayers Are So strong? You got to know –

In Luke 7, Jesus observed a huge funeral procession in Nain. The entire town was present. He observed the young men and women weeping. He observed the pastors and apostles weeping. He observed the elders weeping. He observed the fathers weeping. He observed the children weeping. He observed the sadness on people’s faces. Nothing seemed to move Him, until HE SAW THE MOTHER.

The bible says He had compassion when He saw her and immediately raised her boy from the dead. (Luke 7:12-15). It was the cry of a mother that moved the Heart of God. Still today, Mothers who cry before the Lord for their families, for their marriages, for their homes move the Heart of God.

When Mothers stop praying their families (especially their children) perish. Satan gets a foothold and starts to destroy the home, yet when they return to their rightful place as the anchor of the home, demonic strongholds get demolished. In Psalms 17, 36, 57, 63, and 91 God’s role is likening to that of a Mother.

As a Mother protects, upholds and defends her children, so does God also protect us under the shadow of His Wings. We find refuge there and can hide there until the danger is over.

A mother’s role is so vital that a father cannot get his prayers answered if he dishonours/ disrespects her (1 Peter 3:7). Because, of this favour over mothers, they are also the most attacked persons in the home.

The devil is terrified of Mothers (the powerhouse in the home). Yet the Lord has put inside Mothers grace and resilience to overcome any situation.

Today, As the woman of the home, consider yourself blessed. Consider yourself highly favoured and consider yourself dangerous when you pray !

God Isn’t Just

God Isn’t Just The God of

God isn’t just the God of

Steeples
Prayer meetings
Well-paying jobs
Mission trips
Intact families
Worship songs
Sunday school

All those visible spaces.

The ones we show to the world.
The ones that look like we have our act together.
The ones where we will be praised.

He’s bigger than that. Much much bigger.

His heart is bigger.
His presence is bigger.
His well-worn, tenderness is bigger.

BECAUSE

He’s also and especially the God of

Hospital visits
Broken hearts
Empty checking accounts
Funeral parlors
Rehab rooms
Sleepless and fitful nights
Bathroom floors
Messy selves and messy lives

The places where it’s just us and Him.

The ones only He can really see.
Hear.
Understand.
Guide.
Comfort.
Heal.

The places of

Loss
Despair
Loneliness
Doubt
Fear

That are also the places of

Growth
Hope
Belonging
Grace
Peace

The places that nothing and no one else can touch.

Except for this big big, “very present help in time of trouble,” tender-hearted God.

Those are the most sacred places of all.

And some of the most beautiful.

I am His Love

I am His Love

I may not be righteous like Noah
I may not be faithful like Abraham
I may not be obedient like Isaac
I may not be a fighter like Jacob
I may not be a forgiver like Joseph

I may not be a great leader like Moses
I may not be as bold as Joshua
I may not be as courageous as Caleb

I may not be a priest like Samuel
I may not be a fiery prophet like Elijah
I may not be double anointed like Elisha

I may not be stronger like Samson
I may not be a worshiper like David
I may not be wiser like Solomon

I may not be direct like Isaiah
I may not be an intercessor like Jeremiah

I may not be a prayer warrior like Daniel
I may not be brave like Shedrech, Meshech, Abednego
I may not have revelation like John, Peter or apostles
I may not be zealous like Paul 

I may not be like anyone in the Bible
But still Jesus loved me,
Jesus loves me
And  Jesus gave His life for me on the cross.

Because I am the child of God.

“I am His love”
