Faith

Dear Mothers,

I had a lot of interruptions yesterday so didn't get to write all that was in my heart. One thing I want to say here is this. Ya know it took me 12 years of prayin' to see my family come into order. But it won't take you all that long. See, Jill and Dixie and I, and some of the others, found our truth as we went along. But we were trailblazers. And so are many of you! But with my knowledge of the Word and some others -- and with what God does for you personally that I don't know about -- you will get a healed family in a lot less time.

Dear Mothers,

Ya know when I was a young Mom, I used to stay home and pray when friends wanted me to go here and there. My one neighbor used to say to me, "Well, all you do is stay in that house and read your Bible and pray." And ya know back then in the 70s, my life wasn't at all like everyone else's. I was alone raising my children. I went to church and most of the people there were in families. You didn't see a bunch of singles like you do now in church. The churches were made up of families. I used to sit in church and cry, wondering what I had done to deserve such a fate. But God had His hand on me. And now, 40 years later, I look at society and I see many Connie and Jims. Who would have ever thought society could have gotten that bad? The strong Christian families seem to have faded into the background and the hurting families have become the majority. Yes, Jill was raising her family alone, and a few others. But very few!

Dear Mothers,

It is such a cold windy day here today. I have Baby Olivia Rose, 3 months old. I just rocked her to sleep. She is peaceful in her little bed. I think I will make Potato Soup this morning after I write. It's a good day to write and to make soup. Later on I want to tell you how to make your own chicken broth to use for different recipes. But this morning as I was rockin' Baby, I was thinkin' about the Lord. And I thought of how He loves our faith and how it touches His heart.

Dear Mothers of Faith,

Ya know we can pray and pray and we get the victory? I have had so much victory lately. But ya know our Joy can get so full. I am like a balloon so full of JOY, I haven't known what to do with it all. The Bible speaks of a JOY you cant contain. I am there. But the Lord tells me that when you capture or take over spiritual land, then you have to learn to abide on this land. To set up housekeeping upon this Promised Land. It's hard as it is a new land acquired by faith. And it takes faith to live on it. You sorta plateau off.

Dear Homemakers,

Well, here I go again, writing in the midst of children. But I love it. I love all of it. But, boy, my writing just drops off any place. Sorry about that. I do have some quiet time now as Baby is asleep. I just feel such an urgency to write on faith.

Dear Mothers,

I have had a teaching on faith in my heart all day but haven't been able to write as I have been too busy. Oh, wow, what a day! Anyway, I will just jot down some thoughts.

This afternoon, I was praying and doing battle in the Spirit. And I saw a vision in my mind. I saw a demon come into the room. I said, "I am not afraid of you, Satan. What do you want?" And this demon was big and it was in layers of gray and black platelets of armor. And the armor was heavy and he drug it along as he could barley walk. His black wings were hovering down over him. And he says to me, "You keep sticking me with your sword -- the Word of God -- and you keep holding up the shield of Faith.

Dear Mothers,

Jill came over yesterday with Jane and we had a wonderful time in prayer. I don't want to forget it or some of the things the Lord told me about it. Jane is doing so well and is another Dixie, as far as faith goes. Jane says electricity goes through her body when she feels the Holy Spirit. She is just loaded with Jesus.

Dear Mothers,

I just feel it's important to write more on faith, as many of you are on the way to getting your prayers answered. For me to stop writing on faith at this point could stop the Spirit's flow too quick, I think. I want to tell you some faith stories in my own life that used the principals of faith that we have discussed.

Dear Mothers,

Well, I have prayed and the Lord is saying to keep writing on faith. I hope you can read these faith writings in order, too. I know I am getting free writing these. And I think one part builds upon the next part. And that, of course, is the key to faith, anyway. One day builds upon the other.
