Lord I pray for Beyond right now that you would renew the hope she feels she is losing. God touch her and comfrot her, give her a peace that can only come from You!

She is your loving daughter who you know and love so much. Please Lord may she be filled with your hope and your peace that passes all understanding! I pray you send friends and encouragers to her right when she needs them most. With you Lord all things are pssible so we ask that you work your wonderful mercies in her life. I pray for us all that you would continue to strengthen and heal us. Lord we love you we thank you for the hope you alone can offer! In Jesus' precious Holy name Amen

Timing is a factor concerning manifested answers to prayer. We can pray for something that is the will of God, but untill His timing is right in our lives, we won't see the manifestation. If you have the World of God to back up your requests, stand in faith until you see the results. by Joyce Mener
Now faith is the anssurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. - Hebres 11;1 Amp

So offten I loose heart, or faith just before the breskthrough happens. God grant us Faith to waite, and learn, our lessons, to walk ever closer to the Lord, untill He is so near we can reach out and toutch Him, and draw strength from Him. Help us to Know that we Know, that we Know. He Loves us and He wants us to be healed! Help us to feel deserving, so we will accept our healing, and the wisdom to "Go and sin no more" Amen

....And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold. - Nehemiah 8;10 AMP

Dear Beyond; offten we think of stronglholds as things we need to eject from our lives, because they put us down, but this verse reminds us to replace the negative with positives. because we need strongholds in our mindes, to build us and protect us from the devouerer. May we all build positive strongholds in our lives, as we accept wisdom, from our lessons, God leads us through things, to instruct us, to strenthen us, as the old saying goes "If it doesn't kill it strenthens you" we must Believe because He loves us, in everything there is a positive, we can learn, from no matter how we don't like what we are going through their is a positive to hang on to, help us Oh God to look for Your hand in our truble, and lead us out of the valey of the shadows each day into Joy and Strength, in Your Loveing armes. Amen

Hello,

I've only posted a couple of times on this I think. But anyway, I'm struggling with this program. I'm on week 9 and feel like a big loser that I haven't gotten rid of my anger. I never thought I'd be a yelling mother, and now I do it everyday to the oldest 5 kids. I have six children and homeschool. I struggle so much with wanting to be a godly woman and never meet that expectation. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining on this posting, but I do not talk to anyone else. I have not one friend. I moved two years ago to WA and have not connected with anyone, because of my fears and anger I don't want anyone to know. Can someone pray for me? Please don't think I'm whining!!! - Heather

Heather,I've had anger many times with my kids especially when they were teens. You are not a loser. You're working the program and it takes time to change. You didn't get that way overnite so you won't get better overnite. Give yourself time, cut yourself some slack, give yourself a pat on the back and keep going. You can do this! You can talk to us on here anytime and we will pray for you too.

Father,we're coming to you now bringing Heather and her children before your throne. Please help her know how much you love her and her family. Pour out your grace, wisdom and love on her as she homeschools her children. Help her overcome the stronghold of anger and encourage her in her walk with you. Help her work this program and encourage her every step of the way. Help her realize she has friends on here but more important show her that YOU are her best friend. Thank you for your son Jesus who purchased a place for her in heaven and that you both love her with an everlasting love. Thank you for your Holy Spirit who is her teacher and comforter. Bless our friend Heather. In Jesus name. Amen

If you want a friend, I'll be one. Please PM me.

Lesson 9; Get off the guilt and worry treadmill.
Forgive = To be For giving. Become solution oriented - Action if there is no forgiveness, your're still a victim of the situation. "Guilt trip? Don't buy the ticket" Lucinda

Forgive yourself, Forgive your parents they were doing the best they could with what they had. Forgive God He is Blessing you with these lives to care for and train. Let Him help you to make the changes what, you need to do to changes in you that you obviously want changed as you bought the program God lead you to it. Now use it!

JUst some affermations for you to remember when you loose it with the kids, Don't beat yourself up you are doing all you can with what you have to work with, You love your kids, and God gave them to you because He loves you, and He want's to help you with your blessings. When temptation came to Jesus He said "it is written" now you can say "it is written, and give it back to the devil, with your vresion of these affermations.

God has mercy upon me, according to His loveing kindness; according to the multitude of His tender mercies, He tost out my transgressions. He washes me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanses me from my sin - Psalm 51;1,2 NKJV

According to God's word I hve been made the righteousness of God in Christ. - 2 Corinthians 5;21 KJV

Now her are some things I used to, and still pray for my kids, and I do believe positive intersession for them does pay off eventually. Both of my kids came back to God from a time in theri lives when I didn't think they would. God Bless all your efforts, He understands what you are going through, and he can help you and them to change. When you change they will follow.

My children choose life and blessing. They love the Lord, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is their life and the length of their days. - Deuteronomy 30;19,20

My children make right choices according to the Word of God. - Isaiah 54;13

My children rise up and call me blessed (happy, fortuniat, and to-be envied). - Proverbs 31;28

Nothing in this earth is harder than parenting, even God didn't get it perfect. He only had 2 kids, and they only had 1 NO,NO; and they messed the the entire Earth. So don't be so hard on yourself, these kids have lessons to learn they can't learn them all from you. God needs to lead them through the maze of life too. You don't have their Key to Happyness, and joy, they do, that is how He made all of us, it is our choice each day "I set before you life and death choos, and by the way choose Liee" God. we all get that every day, positive or negative? Positive thinking leads to happyness and joy, Negative leades to anxiety, and depresson.

You are home schooling, I envy you and I admire your courage. You can teach them anything, teach them to love the Lord. Read the Storyes of the Bible, Read Pippy Long Stoking, Read Polly Anna, Read good News, Teach them Creation Sience. Teach them Positive Attitudes of Grattitud. What an opportunity you are giving your children. But always remmeber it isn't your obligation to make them choose, it is only your obligation to give them the opportunity to know God, and the positive way of life. They will choose according to their bent. All you can do is train them up. Even God doesn't expect you to make them pupperts, or robots, we all have free will.

One thing I learned early with my kids, is The younger they learn from their mistakes the cheeper they are. If you save them from all their mistakes they will not learn, and they will still be making them when they are old enough for society to make them pay dearly for them. Consequenses are the best teachers, so make the Consequenses, bite

TAlking about a hurt and the person who caused it is equal to picking off a scab. It continually re-opens the wound and causes it to bleed again. Forgiveness requires a disciplin of the toungue. Proverbs 17; 9 AMP tells us... e who repeats or harps on a matter sparates even close friends, But the vers begins, He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love....Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disreguards the offenses of others]. - Peter 4;8 AMP by Joyce Meyer.

I know how hard it is to forgive and forget, I used to think if I forgive that would be enough I would be stupid to forget it would happen again, once burned twice scared. But I find that is not right. NO FEAR is the only way to live. turn the other cheek knowing God will fix it if the guy hurts you again. speaking emotionally. as Lucinda says being less affected and more effective. You can't keep dragging up the last time you have to trust and do it affraid, knowing God will defend you. My X son in law has hurt me again and again, but each time he brings his charm out and fooles me again. I have been able to play with the boys and take advantage of the time he has allowed me ever so small for the time I don't see them for years even. but each time I do see them because he want's something we have thoughaly enjoyed each other, and the boys never for get that. They are retarted, and they do not understand the games their fater plays. but we play and enjoy each other and they do understand I love them and they are always ready to love me. even after 5 years time it is just like yesterday to them. Their father is a jelyous, angry man. I pray God will one day be able to reach him and sofften his heart. to repent, and turn back to God. but untill then the best thing I can do is be paitent and pray for my grandsones' happyness. I know God is in controle of that for them. God has protected the boys from their father's mind bending narsacistic attitude all these years. and I know God loves him too.

May we all stop re-hashing what has gone before and press tward the mark and the promises of God. Amen

God is able to do much more than what we know how to ask Him for. That is one reason why He gives us His holy Spirit when we request that He do so. He gives us His Spirit to be with us, to live in us, and to minister to us - so we will know what to ask.

I encourage you to open the channel for God to begin to move in your life, in a mighty and powerful way, by doing a whole lot more asking. Ask and Ask and Ask. Keep on asking so that you may receive and your joy may be full. by Joyce Meyer
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. - John 16;24 KJV

I am really starting to understand that prayer is a preimptive strike, not a last resort. It is such a pleasure to wake up in the morning and Thank God for another day to prayze Him, and walk with him. To ask him for his Favor, in the day, for His guidence, and His wisdom to help me with what ever comes in the day.

I have suffered all this week, with a pain in my left lung, that has made it difficult to breath. It has been hard not to feel deafeated in the last 2 days. Affter asking why God? and not seeming to be getting an answer. yet feeling a guidence to try diffrent things. and last night I felt compeled to subtract the calcium from my rooteen vitamines. I have been reading some reports over the past month that to much calcium can actually cause joint pain, and I have been taking extra calcium for over a year now. and the last 6 months have been so painfull with this heal spur, etc. So I took them out of my bed time regiem and slept better. now this morning I took them out again. affter all most of the other vitamins I am taking have calcium in them. I am feeling better already. You know it is such a good feeling to know even a month ago I felt I should stop taking that calcium, but I was going to finnish that bottle, after all I have payed for it. but that is the point. It is mine I can decide weather to finnish it or not.

I learned long ago but keep falling back in to that need to finish things. If I have a craving for chocolate and I know it is not good for me. I can buy a chocolate bar, and take one bite, I owne it if I want to take one bite and throw the rest away I can, the children in India will not starve becaue I didn't let the left overs go to my waiste. but I still find my self eating that last peace, rather than trowing it out. one of my strongholds that is so hard to breake.

I will keep Asking for direction, and favor, and Joy in my day, giving those First few minuites a day to spending time with my God. fellowshiping with Him, in the cool morning even for a little bit makes the whole day go so much better. May you all sacrifice your First moments of the day, to the Lord, and receive His Blessings! for each day, is new and un lived, live it with God's guidence, and watch it bloome. Amen

cHERI, Boy do I know about that first bite. Any kind of sugar. I've really fallen into the trap more. My husband even said don't bring the bakery home to give to others, drive to their house and give it to them! I just came from the nutriton store and she said, "Barb, you are not doing those people a favor, giving them that bakery." You are killing them just like yourself. She said "you gotta have the IWantto. or something like that. I've got to get it out of my house and let my flesh throw the fit, if it has to. I truly feel like a drunk craving that first drink and leading to many more. Oh, God I cry out to you. Please deliver me.

I also am struggling about our housing search. My husband is now with my son pricing a home because I didn't want to. I have no peace. On Wed. I will leave to visit a friend in northern WI. I get lost easily, have anxiety about driving but will push on to do this. Please pray for me and somehow miraculously God will find a ready made, tailor made home for us. Over and over I get "And Abram knew not where he was going." I heard it last week from Tony Evans on the radio, "And Abram knew not where he was going" but Abram was OK with that because he knew GOD knew where he was going." I'm trying to hand on to that and keep thanking God for the place He has for us. His thoughts are better than ours and His ways too! Online friends please pray for increased faith for my hubby and I, wisdom and PEACE. tHank you.

Barb G; Over and over I get "And Abram knew not where he was going."

My prayers are for you and yes Abram had conficence because he walked the line of blod with God, he saw he heard God. and you must look for God in the little things so you can recognize Him in the big things. Trust and Obey, it is hard to recognize a good day.

"If we keep our mouths speaking positive words during difficulties, thoutgh it may look ot everyone else that our circumstace should make us miserable, we can dring joy from the fountain of our own lips." Joyce MeyerFrom the fruit of his works a man shall be satisfied with good. - Proverbs 12;14 AMP

Speak positive, think positive, God is Positive, push out negative thinking, and speaking refuse to accept negative. Satan is negative. Praise the Lord and sing a new song, get in front of negative, you are the head and not the tail, a child of God Loved Cared for and Provided for. In the powerful name of Jesus I pray for all of you reading ths to; Expect more favor, more faith, wisdom and peace is your's sayith the Lord. Amen
