The old buzzard is mad at me I guess, not happy that I got back into this board and letting God use me to help others, so he has been trying one way and then another to intimidate me, which doesnt work, but I realized tonight that he has hit from enough angles that I am finding myself being intolerant of the use of my family members as I do tend to get when he is using all of them at once! I kind of lose my charm and tend to snap here and there, and then think.."There you went and did it and let him get a hold of your mouth!" That has happened twice in two days, two different family members, so it is time to back him off me with the help of my brothers and sisters.

Some of this is not related to this topic, but this is where God has put me to help others since it has been my own life for so long, marriage problems, and now on the recovery side, that is where He can use me best since I can relate, so just posting it here instead of skipping around the topics.

Finances: A biggie and where he is hitting the hardest. My book sales have been suffering greatly and my outgoing was increased this month with the have to case of having to purchase a different vehicle. Not a good balance. I needed to sell my car by yesterday, 20th, in order to get a sales tax credit on it towards the new vehicle and also the little bit I would have after paying off the loan on the car was needed to actually pay the sales tax on the new vehicle. Not to mention that I have to full coverage insure both vehicles which is out of the question, and pay double loans. I have been praying for this car to sell as it was my only way to take care of all this by the deadline which has now come and went, and no sale. Many lookers, but no sales. With my income down, I am currently sitting with a bit under $400 to my name, and need to insure both vehicles ($300), pay the bank payment ($280) taxes ($500), the electric bill ($150) water bill which they gave me disconnect for today ($54) my internet bill ($20.00) which will be disconnected any day and I make my living on the net, Phone bill ($50) and I have a cell phone bill to pay as well ($85). Last but not least, all three of my lawn mowers have quit running, the rider, and two push, and the grass has gotten tall enough that I have to have a rider to get through it, but cannot afford one and no hopes of borrowing one, and the city issued me a notice today that I have ten days to get it cut or get fined and they will charge me $100 for them to do it. So...as you can see, he has been playing havoc in this area..and seems to be blocking help.

My daughter, who I have been praying over for years because she is a iv drug user of oxyconton and much more, has been staying with me. She does good as long as the boyfriend is not around, and I prayed him into jail. I have tried to lead him to Christ, but to no avail. My daughter was raised in Christ. She is pregnant also, second child, I have raised the first since birth when the state took her away from her. I cannot take another, and she is doing drugs with this pregnancy, just like the last. The boyfriend got out of jail suddenly..mysteriously so as he had a mandatory 15 month sentence for probation violation and has only been in six weeks. She has been doing good until now that he is out, and yesterday she was back to her psycho self that she becomes when he is around her and they are really using the drugs. I had to tell her to leave the house because of her behavior, and she attacked me, coming at me and getting me by the throat. The police had to be called and she was removed. So that was another attack..and it was going on at the same moment Kimberly was needing me on her situation. Go figure! I lost control for a minute under attack and grabbed her back and said things back, not too bad..but it is not me..to react.

Of course there is hubby then. We are restored, have been, but not near fixed. It is a constant daily effort to keep him prayed up and just hold the ground we have gained. I get weary sometimes and just feel like I do not want to live like this day in and day out, I just want to be like the other couples in church who are both walking right, loving each other as they should, and are not having to battle daily for a spouse. I got that way not long ago and just stopped, said God, either complete the good work in him you started, or take him out of my life..because I need some normalcy and ability to move on to other things in you besides praying up my husband who should be able to hold steady in you on his own by now! In doing so, my husband has slid backwards, of course, the enemy is a opportunist. He stopped going to church, started smoking pot and cigarettes again and is hanging out with his old heathen musician friends. To this from going to church everytime the doors were open and wanting to play music for the Lord, seeking and praying for Godly musicians. Threw a whole bag of pot out the car window because God told him to and just quit, cigarettes the same thing, and was trying to get his son turned around also. So we slid quite a bit, but he is not captive to the enemy and he will not be ever again..I will not let that happen..but we need prayer. I really have been seeking God to please complete His work in Kevin, let Kevin recieve the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and grow, really grow, root! I compare him to the scripture, he is the seed that falls on rocky soil, he does not root. We do this over and over again. He went to church with me last Sunday night and it is family month at our church, centered on Gods word for family, husbands and wifes, children, etc. We had an alter call for all that were vowing to surrender all to the Lord and become the Godly leaders in our homes He intended us to be. I got up and went of course, my hubby didnt. Then they called for any spouses and children of those standing up front to please come be with their mate or parent and hold one another and pray together. Everyone was at that alter but my husband. He continued to stand in the pew. It was distressing. Pastor got distressed also, I was the only one standing alone, and he looked at me and said very loudly, that is okay if your spouse wont come, you can stand here representing the leadership of your family. I just kept my joy and later before we left said to him that I could not believe he did not come up there when he was called to be with me. He said it was crowded he knew he could not have gotten to me. I said for petes sake, they are church family and everyone of them wanted you to come, they would have been lifting you over to me if they had to in order to get you there! So...you see...this is what I am dealing with. He goes to jam with the unGodly on Sunday mornings instead of being with God. It has been a couple months now of this stuff. And..we virtually have no relationship physically again, and he does not help with any of the bills even though it is me, the baby and then him and his 19 yr. old son and both of them are drywall hangers making $500 a week each. It is all going for pot and music equipment. I am disabled and supporting two adults that make three times as much as I do right now. Sad sad! I need the Lord to do something with this man! He has been getting sarcastic with me this evening, the devil, and I am just frustrated from all of it, and snapped at him back.

Then my son, the only one who has ever helped me, left home over a month ago because he is so angry with my husband mostly, so he jumped on running off with a girl he knew for one week on the internet. I have been praying for him to come home. He got hurt a couple weeks ago, ran over by a fork lift and his leg and foot are crushed, and the foot is infected. He is off in another state, no vehicle and totally dependant on this girl, and she refuses to take him to a lawyer to protect himself on this accident because her step father works at the place it happened and she is afraid he will get fired over it. She is actually working against him by informing them he is trying to get a lawyer. His foot is crushed and he is pretty much laid up in bed to prevent blood clots and to get the swelling down so they can repair it, probably with surgery, and he is telling me that he is trying to find the nearest lawyer to him because he will have to walk there! My son needs to come home Lord, please!

Lastly, my stepson who has been a handful since day one and the center core of our marriage falling after he came here to live four years ago. Porn, disrespect for woman, cannot seem to speak around here without using the "F" word, and no one does that in front of me..they know better, but this kid seems to thrive on it and it is making me crazy, I just need him to get right, or get out! He is old enough..the enemy just uses him to torment me and to defile my home. I am tired of having to room search every couple weeks and haul out the porn. House rule is everyone must be in by 11:00 out of respect, sleeping adults and baby. He makes a point of coming in at 11:30 to 12:30 and just struts on in with this "F" you attitude he is so good at, like what are you going to do about it! Because anything he does or wants is alright by daddy. The rule is you sleep in your vehicle if you are late, door is locked. I actually enforced this one night, and daddy had a fit the next morning when he found his son sleeping in his car, but yet I pay all the bills, clean up all the messes, have to worry about all the things, grass even, everyone else is so carefree and irresponsible, but he does not have to respect me or the rules like the other kids have had to do. So..here is another venue of the enemy. I told hubby that the kids, any that were staying here anymore since they are all adults, had to either pay part of the bills or had to do chores and his son was to cut the grass. That has never happened and never will if he gets his way. He runs every night, leaves to go run with his gangs. His car has been broke down all this week, so my husband is taking him to the city, coming home from work, then driving him a hour away to drop him to hang with his friends and then having to go back to get him whenever he calls up and says come get me now..getting out of bed to do this even. This is how bad son is catered to, and I just need all this nonsense to stop!

Sorry so long, just really wanted to give the whole picture so you can see how this is just coming from all sides. He will not drive me off from praying for all of you and being here if you need support, or if God needs me to share something with you. But I sure could use some intercession for some change here, some help from the Lord so I can stand firm and do what He wants me to do, and protection. All these areas that he is meddling in, the most urgent being my finances as it means keeping the house running and that has been looking dismal. Everyone kept saying that God would move in the last moment on the car sale, but we are 24 hours late now..so I already have incurred a late charge as of yesterday.

Thanks to all who lift me and my family up, it is much appreciated..love all of you..and I thank my Father God for what He is going to do, how He is going to move in all of these situations for me. I praise His Holy Name! All glory be unto Him!

Kristy,

I am praying for you. One way to look at this is that sometimes we get attacked just when a breakthrough is coming. (Something I remind myself of too.)

That puny loser just took the words I had for a prayer post out of my head.

(Or maybe the prescription I take at night for my insomnia has kicked in finally... at 5:30 in the morning!)

I will be praying for you with words and in the Spirit.

Lord, protect and keep her family, and ease her hardships, Lord continue to restore her marriage, and bless her immensely. Thank you Dear jesus, amen.

Lord please be with Kristie and walk with her in all her trials and help her in the areas of her life that she needs help in. She is an inspiration to so many here. Shower her life and marriage with your blessings....In Jesus mighty name....Amen


Posted by: Praying For Restoration

Lord Jesus,

I lift Kristie and her family up before you. Lord, go before her in battle, and protect this family from all attacks of the enemy. Cover them with your wing, surround them with warrior angels, protect them from all harm. Surround them with a hedge of protection, Lord God.

Lord, we know you promise that you who began a good work in us will complete it. There are so many in this family who need to see that promise coming into fruition in their lives. Oh Lord, please come and bring a great increase of spiritual growth to Kevin. Help him to take that leap into "rooting", into spiritual maturity, into rejecting the things of this world in order to take hold of all you have for him, in Jesus' name.

Please help her daughter, Lord. Reach through the haze of drugs and sin and help her to hear your voice again. Help her to see where her life has gone, Lord God, and to desire with her whole heart to come to know you again. To lay down her life, her addiction, her desires, her relationships, her boyfriend, all at your feet, and to surrender to you completely. Lord, please use this attack that just happened to wake her up. Help her to see what she is allowing the enemy to bring in her life. Help her to understand what just happened, and help her to feel conviction and a desire to turn around. Protect this baby in her womb Lord. Help her to give up drugs immediately, and Lord please cleanse her body from the drugs so that the baby is not being affected by them. Oh Lord, I know your heart breaks over this entire situation, and we ask that you would come and indwell it, and heal all.

I lift up Kristie's son before you. Oh Lord, bring him into your will for his life. Help him to look to you for healing and protection. Lord, send the right people into his path. Cause someone from the company where the injury occured to come and see how he is doing. To help get the right care for him. Get him to the proper medical people and please bring healing to his foot. Set his foot on your rock, Lord God, and help him to stand firmly. Comfort him, and heal him, in Jesus' Name.

For this stepson, Lord, I ask that you would come and heal him deep down in his soul, where he is hurting so badly. Lord, this young man needs you. Let all his gang activity fall sour and meaningless to him, and may he hunger after your righteousness. May he desire you with his whole heart. Hunger after you with all he's got. Bring godly young men into his life, to witness to him and help usher him into your kingdom. May his life be anointed in service to you, reaching others who have lived a life like his has been. Help him to be convicted of his lack of respect and kindness in the home, and to see the futility of his behavior. Please Lord, let him not be an instrument of satan to even irritate this family! This day, Lord, let him no longer speak foul words in that home. This day, Lord, let him see the moronic behavior he has engaged in and why he does it. Open his eyes, Lord God. Let him not be lost.

Lord, I pray over Kristie's finances. She needs your intervention and assistance, Lord God. I pray that her husband, and the other adults in the household, will be moved to come and help financially, and not leave the burden upon Kristie alone. Lord, please give the city compassion about the lawn. Please Lord, you have someone out there with a driver mower who would happily mow the lawn or loan it to Kristie. Please bring that to happen, in the name of Jesus. Lord, please make a way with all of these bills, and increase Kristie's internet income. Bring a buyer for the car, and help set all these things right again.

Come Lord God, and indwell this entire situation. All the stresses. Banish the enemy and all his dark forces from their lives. Raise up this family in service to you, may they bring great glory to your name, Lord God.

Nothing is too hard for you, and we thank you! We thank you for your promises for Kristie and her loved ones. We thank you that she is there, pulling for them all so hard in prayer. Thank you Lord. Renew her strength. Fill her up with your Spirit again and again. Help her to feel your peace, your joy, your strength and renewal flooding into her. Thank you for her ministry to her family. Pour out your blessings upon her.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

Precious Lord, I pray for Your divine peace in the many storms in Kristie's life. May she be still as You handle each one. Increase her finances so that all bills are paid, continue to help her internet business grow and thrive in Your Holy name.

Father, I pray for her children may the daughter truly see the harm that her lifestyle choice is causing her family, child and child to be. May You keep Your loving hand on that baby-to-be so that it will be born healthy.

Father, may the stepson respect the house rules and may his choice of language and activities stop. May his father truly be the head of the household and no longer accept the blantant disrespect of the house rules. Speaking of him, father may his eyes upon up to the vision of how he is to be a Godly husband. I pray for the bad friends, drugs, cigarettes and all other bad habits be stopped in Your mighty name.

Hold Kristie dear and close during this storm. Let no weapon form against her prospers. With each attack may she draw closer to Your Word for her life for Your Word is mightier than anything that satan can throw her way.

You are mighty, and I pray believing in Your every good promises to be placed in Kristie's life. Amen

Lord I come before you and pray in agreement with my fellow bothers and sisters in Kristies needs. Let not the enemy gain ground any further in her families lives. Bind the enemy and his works around Kristie and lift Keven back up from the hardness that is resurfacing father. Cast out the demons that are around them all and seeking to stop Kristie from giving of herself and her gifts that you have placed within her Lord. Father we ask you to interceed in this situation. Help Kristie's son get the proper help that he is need of. Let not the people around him interfere any further in what needs to be done and provide a way for him to return home. Father help lift Kevin up in your word and teach him what it truly means to show Godly (tough) love and stand firm by it. Remind Kevin of his commitment first and formost to you and second to his wife. Remind him that no others are to come before that order. Remind Kevin of the hardships that fell upon him before and let that reminder awaken him once again, but please father, remind him before the pain of the past, the demons of the past would truly show their faces again. Protect and guide Kristie father and give her strength and comfort. Be with her daughter Lord, you know the truth of this situation and my heart goes out to Kristie on this because I understand the pain of a loved one that goes up and down like a rollercoaster especially when they are influenced by ungodly people. Father, I ask of you to show your presence in Kristies household and her needs in this time.

Lord build a hedge of protection around Kristie's heart, mind, and soul (to include her mouth father, I know how easy it is in frustration to lash back at those who lash first at you) as ask of you to give her peace, comfort, wisdom, joy during these times father so that through her control of which you give her father, you will be able to work through her for her family.

Lord be with Kristie and guide her. Love her and Kevin and bring Kevin above the darkness and back into the light to be by her side and help her firmly in his commitment of love, devotion, and marraige. I ask these things in your sons precious name and by the blood that you gave for us Father. Amen!

Kristi,
May the Lord wrap his arms around you and give you strength to endure this. I know You are right beside her, probably even carrying her by now. These family members do not know what they have. This daughter has so much faith in You. She has been an inspiration to me through these rough times. Open her family's eyes to see who she is. She has carried them through many things with her faith. The enemy is attacking her in every way he knows how because of her deep faith in You. Lord, pour your blood over this family and protect them from the enemy's attacks. Bless each and everyone of them as they open their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls to You. Keep them ever close to You!
I ask this in Jesus Name. Thank You Lord for uplifting this family in Your care.

Kristi, I feel a breakthrough is going to happen. All of these things happening because of your strong faith in Him, and all the wonderful posts you have posted, the enemy is after you. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I read your posts and become more peaceful. God Bless you.

Laurie

Lord, your daughter is being attaked...We place her at the feet of the cross Lord in the knowledge that You will pick her up and place her down shiny and new. Lord, we need you to be her defender now in all areas of her life. We need you to bind up the spirits of self abuse, lust, selfishness and let loose a spirit of self control, righteouness, and generousity in her household. Lord, Kristi is representing You every day. Lord, send Your angels to work in her household. Display Your glory. In Jesus name we come to Your throne on behalf of our sister-in-Christ. Amen!

Father, Lord, oh protect Kristie, Lord please workout the problems in her life. Lord, she is such a warrior and lifts us all up here, and especially me lately. Lord, I feel like she has been giving to me and giving, andnot taking care of herself, i feel like i have been like a sponge on her, not being able to stand alone. God, lease aid her, send her blessings, and open her husband's closed spirit. Father, give her the strength she needs to stand in the gap for her husband and family. Lord, please just i don't know what all to ask for, but know that the Holy Spirit will intercede for mewhat i have not said or needed to say. Father, please just send the blessings back her way, she has so graciously sent mine. thank you, amen.

Hi kristie have you broken the spirit of blindness over your families lives those who need it so they can see the truth more clearly..

11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes

God is waiting for you to do something in prayer about the blindness that is on your families lives or friends

Use the name of Jesus and let a mantle of the lion of Judah come on you and COMMAND that spirit of blindness to be broken over that person or family you want to see saved or come back to Jesus then replace that spirit of blindness with the word of God by speaking life there where there was death and blindness..and let the seed of life take root and grow for if you remove a curse or anything that is of the devil, the devil will always try to come back and take root again thats why you have to pray in that place where there was a curse or the spirit of blindness life in the word of God so when the devil does try to come back he will be greeted with a sword of the spirit and tree of life instead of death God Bless...


Also stay soaking in the anointing and his presence daily this way you will always be filled with his glory and fuel for that day to release in others this way when others arent quit recieveing what God is trying to speak to them in there hearts but are still confused in what to do you wont be drained as much but will still have fuel for the day from yielding to his flow of anointing in you as you minister to others..many hugs God bless

Hello,
Update for you and praise report of course. Since I posted this request on the 23rd, the Lord has provided me with at total of $521.53, from time of post to right now today on the 23rd. Rough estimate, I am still lacking about $200 or there abouts to be able to get all the bills covered, but I know that God is not finished yet. He provides well beyond what we can expect or imagine. I tithed the $50 last Weds., for a blessing of $500, as remember I told the Lord that I was trying Him as He said we should do. Well, He has went over already..so... :-)

Another note that just shows this is a God thing..all this money came from book sales, but most of it did not come from ebay where I sell the book, it came from emails coming in asking for the book.

Thank you for continued prayers, God is not done yet! I will keep you posted.

I thank and praise you Lord God, You are so good to us who call upon Your name, You keep Your promises and covenants with us, and we are not worthy of anything from You. I love You Lord, I praise Your Holy Name forever and ever. Amen
