I am not going to make a significant fall backwards, with God's help. I've had some pretty down days, where I am not moving forward the way God wants and I feel like my 'old self'. And while I do not feel like fixing myself when I am most down and angry and pessimistic and unfixable and grumpy, when I finally see out of myself long enough to put on some praise music or listen to a World Revival sermon - best when live so that it includes a LONG praise session first, or tune into IHOP for some live prayer, prophecy in song.... then I start to remember what God has done in my life lately, and I start snapping out of it - always within minutes.
The Holy Spirit does His best chatting with me in the middle of the night. I've had some great stories of late that I'll share sometime. The one thing I want to share right now has to do indirectly with Nana and her legacy. With this woman of God, who must have put most of each and every day into Bible Study and sharing it with others, into prayer and praise (I was a witness to this at 5am whenever I slept over), into deep intercession for her family.... When she died, so did, well, the power she prayed into the lives of every single person in her family. I believe there are still members of our family praying for the rest of the "Decker" clan, but it's not like it was, and no one talks about it. God wants Nana's legacy carried on. A lot of our family is in pain. So much physical and emotional and spiritual pain! The Holy Spirit told me a couple of nights ago, in one of my flipping-over-to-find-a-comfortable-position marathons, to pray for Grandpa and Grandma Jean. Grandma Jean has been his new wife for so many years now. Now I love her and her gentle spirit. (It's so easy to ramble). Grandpa is 92? 93? He has served God his entire life. So has Jean. Grandpa has indicated that he's about done, that he's lived a full life for God and that anytime is a good time to go home to be with Him. But the Holy Spirit told me to pray for joy and power - for Grandpa and Jean. God wants them to have joy and power and be so full of the Holy Spirit that it flows OUT of them and into our family again, and into the lives of everyone else they come in contact with. God still heals. Grandpa needs to go out with a BANG! He needs one final recharge that shoots OUT of him and brings lives to God and heals our family and leaves us with a new legacy to share the love and POWER of God with our family again. No more pain. No more broken marriages, broken bodies, broken spirits. No more emptiness. AMEN!
Pray with me!
