In the deadening corners of our homes, the devil prowls and seeks a weak link to devour. Even when we think we all worship the One true God, the devil can convince someone otherwise.
The enemy’s breath can be a sweet aroma, tantalizing our senses. Nevertheless, his determination exists only to diminish the glory of the Lord by sinking his fangs into the one whose door is left ajar.
“Why are you angry,” said the Lord to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door, it desires to have you, but you must rule over it (Genesis 4:7).
Our family is under attack, much the same way Adam and Eve’s was. I have sought the Lord with open hands and confessed my parental neglect. Yet, I continue to hear sin scratching its way, not into my heart, but into one I love.
I cannot divulge details, but know we are in a mighty spiritual battle. Knowing the devil targets those working unto Him, knowing the victory is already won, is NOT helping me right now.
My heart is heavy with sorrow. At the same time, my veins on fire for Jesus to flood my home. His mercy, I plead. His righteousness and faithfulness, I implore. His arm of salvation in its power, I pray to break the strongholds upon my loved one.
With sin crouched at your door and you know your heart is abiding in the Lord, then you call upon His angel army to surround and protect your home. You pray for His words and His wisdom. You claim over and over that you and your house serve the Only name that can save.
And when you don’t see a swift move of the supernatural power of God, you armor up because you sense He will send you into the fire to snatch out the broken and defenseless:
Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear-hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh (Jude 22-23).
~if you are led, I will be with you in Spirit as you storm heaven in our behalf.

I sense that your family is being challenged right now. Gottfried posted about family today. “The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret. Families are like fudge; sweet with a couple of nuts.” You may be encountering one of those nuts. Hang in there. We all have ’em!! Crack that outer shell and you’ll find the softer center. And Gottfried also hit the nail on the head for me today when he said, “Having a child makes you a parent; having two, you’re a referee.” Put on the uniform of peace… ❤

Thanks for the insight Jan. This truly is a spiritual battle for which I need not go far, just bend my knees. Yes to peace, but firm when called. I trust Jesus to walk through the fire with us, that we get not burned just maybe charred.

Thank you so much dear Bettie. From one praying mama to another, Lord we continually entrust our children to You, for they are Yours first. Help us to trust You, even when we can’t see.

I’m armored with you, sister. I’m behind on reading, yet I’ve prayed with you through these attacks this winter. Laying it on the altar. Laying someone we love…I’ve cried hours and hours, sister. I give up and give it all to our Savior. In the wee hours of this morning, thinking of you and having the Dibble family in my heart, I saw the Lord gathering us all in a huddle of love, understanding, comfort, and grace. One son of mine watches, yet denies at times. Laying it on the altar is a daily thing for me. I love you and am praying for you all daily. 💚
