As so many do, I consulted about the next year and will share what I heard.It will be a year of increased vision and clarity. It won’t all be pretty, but victory is in the offing. The time is now.
Also, I’m making the announcement of a re-branding of this podcast ministry. It started around a concern to preaching healing and encouragement to people dealing with learning disabilities. I styled it on the Word of Faith broadcasts that were at that time and probably still all the largest broadcasts in Christendom, and perhaps in any field. However, I always wondered if styling it as a religious broadcast would fail to reach out to those who needed help. Would the religious people even feel they needed this help? Oh, I still have questions, but my understanding at this time is to be more focused and clear and reach directly to those who need help.

Don’t worry. I haven’t changed. Also, please be patient that the change may be somewhat slow because I am flying solo here. If you are a spirit-filled Christian and want to do audio editing for me, please let me know.

Thanks again. Have a wonderful year in 2020. It may have its challenges, but hold tightly to God and be unstoppable and you will find great victories. No more delay.

We all know we need to rest, right? Except those of us who went to grad school.
Really, getting the right amount of sleep is vital to brain function.
Don’t let your kids watch movies during the night! Don’t give them pop at bedtime! And, grandparents, work on keeping on sleeping like you were young. It is (almost) possible.
It is important.
Here are some ideas.

Continuing in our series for the grandparent generation, but not leaving the children out, we talk about exercise. Once again, I’m going to rely on some recent scientific studies from Life Extension.
For so long, I’ve read studies and relayed them only to have people poo-poo as unscientific. So here goes folks. Use it or lose it.
As we become more and more screen oriented, exercising along with human interaction is becoming the purview of the few.
Besides that, while I know of no research, I was putting together that there were some patterns of learning disabilities in the population that mapped to screen/gaming addictions back in the 1990s. Back then there were almost no studies in Sociology on learning disabilities. I checked. Only a couple and one of them was on how confused or mis-informed teachers were. At that same time the education faculty at Texas Tech was reputed to be teaching that learning disabilities didn’t exist. Oh well.
Muscles exist. Tendons exist. Brains exist. They are all connected. And designed to move. Together.

God Wants Success for Your Children

In this series we establish beyond a shadow of a doubt that God wants you healed. Healing is talked about very directly in the Bible. God may not get all He wants. God wants everyone saved, but everyone does not get saved. Yet, it is very encouraging, when one is seeking salvation to know what God’s will is. He desires us to agree with Him. So it is with healing!

Yet, there are so very many stories about why people don’t get healed. Actually there are very many stories about why God may not want someone healed. But virtually no Bible verses! Yet so very much time in Sunday School is spent on making up such stories!

Given this state of affairs, it become very hard for a mother to have confidence that God wants well-being for her child. That encouragement is exactly what this broadcast now podcast was set up to do: encourage. First faith, and then activity. Some healing comes by miracle, some by growth, and some by wise innovation or practice. I would take it anyway it comes.

Now, I know that not every child is destined to be a scholar. Nevertheless, every child can be successful enough in school. Every child can be success at his or her own calling. This we should believe God for. This is encouragement that it was not God that planned for pain, deficiency or failure. All that was brought in with the fall. And is sometimes brought in by choices. For instance, if someone smokes like a chimney, it is not surprising that their health is less than it could be. For a child, however, the child seldom makes choices to be less than successful. I assume a mother wouldn’t. So pray in confidence.

Even pray boldly. Even if we do not win them all, that would be no reason not to try, right?

So, that is why I wanted to talk about this: God wants academic success, learning success, the ablity to do what is needed.. and wants that for every child. Hear how!
