Praying for Nations

In our series on praying along together, we pray for nations today. We celebrate the victory that Jesus the Christ has won for us.
Of course, while this is bigger than praying for our own children, it does relate to them!
How important to pray together.

Please also set aside some time on Sunday to pray for our President. How could anyone withstand the onslaught of lies, hatred, and official/criminal/ridiculous action? We can retreat to our private space. Let’s support our leader in prayer and thank God for the relief he has brought us!

Awakening Parents and Bringing Revival to Youth: Marta Silva

The Lord told Marta to go wake up parents, to tell them the dangers that their children were facing. She got a room, often at the school, and went door to door to invite parents. She is also talking directly to young people. She is experiencing revival now in her region (the northeast.) She tells you her simple formula. You can email her at Fishers-Christ@hotmail.com… or you can simply replicate this model. Or hear your own.

A couple of years ago I met Marta Silva a couple of years ago at Calvary Pentecostal Campground, where we were both worshiping, going to summer camp-meeting. she told me of her new project. I probably told her of my podcast. This season, as we go into summer, I felt to have her on the ‘cast. Normally, I focus more on youth than children during the summer. I felt that right now was the right time for this idea to air. What about focusing on youth in your neighborhood this summer? What can you do?

Does it seem hopeless? It probably seems hopeless when the teen that Marta was talking to told her that he worshiped satan, but it was only a week later when he came back to her and gave his life to the Lord. You know, the Lord Jesus is a better lord than is satan. LOL. Catch Marta’s enthusiasm!

I apologize for the sound quality. We had a number of challenges in getting this interview long distance. I did what I could in audio editing to make her voice louder. If you have expertise to share on how to do long distance interviewing — or sound editing — feel free to contact me.

In the meantime …. see Jesus in the youth. When did we see you naked, hungry or in prison? When you saw the least of these. This probably means youth too, right? They are hurting, and yet may not know, literally no have any idea of which way to turn. They may never have heard of the saving work of Jesus Christ… or possibly even of the 10 Commandments. It is time to wake up!

Hanukkah : Tell Your Children!

Whether you are interested in “Hebraic Roots” or are just open to the diversity of your neighbors, it is a fine thing to know about Hanukkah. IN 2018, Hanukkah begins December the 2nd at dusk.
I’ll tell you a little bit about how Hanukkah showed up in my neighborhood and school when I was a little girl. (Spoiler: Christians and Jews had great relations in my city.) Then I will tell you about the history that Hanukkah comes from. It will inspire you. And give you some more ideas of holiday things to do with your children.

Then, next week, we will break from our holiday theme to talk about test anxiety. So many students are facing finals at this time of the year, so I will have a basket of ideas for parents, teachers, and youth on how to steer through the difficulties presented by test anxiety.

Until then, enjoy the holiday time of year. Hasn’t God dealt wondrously with us?

The Truth About Columbus Day and Thanksgiving Day

I hope you enjoy your time off. I hope you celebrate both Columbus Day and Thanksgiving Day with your children. Let’s talk about those. It is important.
BTW, notice, I quote original documents.
Do you know what all this fake news and fake history is about? See 2 Thessalonians 2:12: they believe lies because they love wickedness. We were told that this would happen. And if you think back honestly, you will realize that is exactly what is happening. People wanted to cast off restraint so they chose the version of reality or the argument that permitted such. Then that became the only argument. Then it shouts down the real truth. Then righteousness becomes looked upon as evil. That is exactly what has happened: a different value set has been substituted and is being taught everywhere. So children stand up and yell at their teachers — even teachers who would have been counted as liberal in any other time. And think they have acted wisely! Imagine, then, how other children feel? They are intimidated if even teachers and professors are. You MUST know about this.
