I seriously wept today ... mother and father wounding can keep us from honoring leadership that God puts in our lives! I had to forgive my parents even deeper for not showing me the ways of Godly leadership. My parents didn't raise me in God's principles. I have to now be taught by the holy spirit and not be a victim and blame my parents for everything. I look back on my life now at 32 and realize their were many men and women of God I dishonored out of wounding from fatherlessness and motherlessness. Lord help me. I had to repent for dishonor. I had to weep for my sin of dishonor to authority. I was blind but now I see church. I rebelled against Godly authority out of pain, rejection and abandonment. I even ran from Godly authority at one time. Like the devil would say to me " they will leave you just like your parents, so why even bother"... sinister serpent 🐍 that devil is man. What a father of lies. The father of truth says "they will guide you into healing, wholeness and correction." Wowzers. Love you all! Thought I would share this revelation. Learning alot right now.

This morning I was writing a devotion for my family/other families from Isaiah 26:3. It's one of my favorite Scriptures...He keeps us in perfect peace as our minds are stayed on Him. Here's a part of the devotion: A mind stayed on God isn't restless. It isn't wandering. It isn't spinning with worry. It's stayed. Like a boat anchored in the harbor, held steady by something deeper. When your mind is stayed on God—fixed on who He is, what He's done, what He promises—you find perfect peace. Not because the world becomes calm. But because your inner world is anchored to something unshakeable. The practice is simple: moment by moment, bring your wandering thoughts back to rest on God. What has He done? What has He promised? What do you know about His character? Each time you practice this—bringing your anxious thoughts back to God—you're building a habit of peace that will carry you through anything. This is how families change. Not through perfect circumstances. But through choosing, again and again, to keep their minds stayed on God. If you want to practice this with your family, we're building this habit in Present—our weekly family devotional that meets you where you are and helps you discover peace together. Present is daily devotions, 5 minutes per day, delivered to your inbox every Sunday. Check it out here: https://www.spiritledfamilies.world/products/present-weekly-family-devotionals

How we choose to perceive things.

It's real ya'll. It's the children's bread. I had a crazy experience recently. God is soooo faithful!!! I'm so joyful ☺️ God doesn't deserve our leftovers, he deserves our first fruits! He said seek me and you shall find me when you seek me with all your heart. We don't have to fear, the fathers love covers over so many offenses and sins. Think about it... why would a perfect heavenly father want his kids running around being sick? No way! Every demon has to flee when it meets the fathers perfect love. Yay! I seriously am so thankful for deliverance ministry!!! Hallelujah.

Once the Lord has told us something, anything after that is usually just us negotiating with fear.
