21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our Children and Grandchildren – Day 19 Faith is the Victory!
It's time to step out of passivity into passion, hopelessness to hope and victimhood to victory! The world has been dark for a long time and it has only gotten darker. When we spend our days shrinking back in fear, we put our own lights out. John 1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, …
21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 17 Don’t Give Up!
When I started this 21 days of prayer and fasting, I felt led to put the same challenge out to other parents and grandparents (and g-g's!). The first blog had 150 reads. Day 5 has 55. Day 16 has 10. I know that fasting is hard. But, when I wake up in the morning and …
21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 16 Rebuilding Ancient Walls
In many of my blog posts, I have covered the topics of breaking curses and ending sinful legacies. Today, we will focus on rebuilding ancient walls of spiritual protection. In order to kill, steal and destroy, the enemy has to tear down our spiritual defenses. When I was in high school, my atheist friend did …
21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our Children and Grandchildren – Day 15 Passing the Baton of Faith
Passing your children the baton of faith in the relay of life is not an easy task. In a relay race, each runner has a specific set distance to run. During the hand off, each runner must be "in the exchange zone." This is a very precise hand off that can make or break a …

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Our Children and Grandchildren – Day 9 The Persistent Widow
In Biblical Christianity we value the nuclear family - father, mother, and children all in the roles that God lays out for each person.

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Children and Grandchildren – Day 6 Walking on Water
When asking God for miracles, we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Why is it important to remember this? Because, we generally only need miracles when we are in an epic life-storm. In a storm, the sky is dark, the wind is howling, lightening is flashing, and waves are crashing. In other words, …
21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for our Children and Grandchildren – Day 3
In a time where people love to mock "thoughts and prayers" as inaction against evil, we must remember that prayer is the greatest action we can take. “John Knox prayed, and the results caused Queen Mary to say that she feared the prayers of John Knox more than she feared all the armies of Scotland. John Wesley prayed, and revival came to England, sparing that nation the horrors of the French Revolution. Jonathan Edwards prayed, and revival spread throughout the American colonies. History has been changed time after time because of prayer. I tell you, history could be changed again if people went to their knees in believing prayer. Even when times are bleak and the world scorns God, He still works through the prayers of His people. Pray today for revival in your nation, and around the world.” ― Billy Graham, Hope for Each Day: Words of Wisdom and Faith
