If you have visited this site before then you may be aware of the Arise: Praying Parent page where there is information on a prayer conference call.  Well Arise Praying Parents was birthed 6 months after the Praying Wives United Group.  We share the conference line; Mondays we pray for our children and Wednesdays we pray for our husbands.  Both calls pray the word of God according to the Bible.  We have had much success and many testimonies.  This morning I shared some Strategies that the wives could use in order to see some success, transformation, relief, encouragement and strength.  Of course there was so much more I could have shared but here is where I was encouraged to start.  This list can be used for you children as well.  Be encouraged Saints of God that the Lord is Good and He answers your call in time of distress.

  • It’s your praise and thanksgiving that will pull you out….of the pit
  •  80/20 rule: are you focusing the one or two things that work your nerves or will you celebrate the 80% and watch God take you to 81%, 82%, 83%, 84% ect…and now all you can see is growth…..and an improved marriage, child, friend, ect…
  •  Are you doing your God given assignment in the Earth…if you stop focusing on him/husband and give God more energy you will see a turnaround….
  •  What are you praying and who is praying with you? I refuse to ask just anyone to pray with me. You better know what they believe in.
  •  Don’t look at the situation, circumstances, problem (LOOK AT JESUS)
  •  Don’t pray out of place prayers; don’t charge the atmosphere unbelief, ask Jesus to help your unbelief…
  •  It’s really not about where I want him/husband to be but it’s about where the Lord wants Him to be….so when I pray for my husband I ask and partner with Holy Spirit for the Lord to make him the Man of God that he is called to be….

A sound marriage, family, and life is part of our inheritance; even through trails and tribulations we are more than conquerors.

Inheritance

I named my Blog It’s Urbirthright….Why you may say? Well once I became a true follower of Jesus Christ I found out that I was a joint heir with Jesus. Whaaatt you may say… a joint heir? Yes a joint heir and with this inheritance comes benefits. Just as our earthly parents or relatives may leave an inheritance behind for their children so has our Father in heaven given to us an inheritance. So I decided to share in this blog some thoughts, encouraging words, as well as some of the benefits of being an heir. Here is a benefit *Heirs of all things – “The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” (Rev. 21:7)
Scripture tells us that in Romans Ch 8 vs. 15-17 that we are heirs…Romans 8:15-17 Amplified Bible (AMP) 15 For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! 16 The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17 And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him];
Stay tuned to find out about more benefits….Yours in Chris Carla 

Confidence

What is confidence? a feeling or belief that you or someone can do something well or succeed at something : the feeling of being certain that something will happen or that something is true

Synonyms: Trust, Belief, Faith, Credence, Conviction

Where do you have your confidence?  Is it in yourself?  Is it in your job? Is it in your spouse? Now, I’m not saying that to have confidence in those areas are necessarily bad things.  But, it is when they supersede your confidence in Jesus; a problem could arise.

This was an area I had to visit in my life.  Many years ago I had become so self-reliant that I put self, job, spouse, and Jesus all on the same level. I would even say I placed self slightly above them all. As circumstances arose and I began losing control in the areas I thought had straight, my confidence was shaken.

Only when I humbled myself and had “a come to Jesus meeting” that I realized that I was doing everything in my own strength.  I did not even notice what I was doing and how out of order I was.  It was in my time with the LORD that he began to show me my error and teach me.  You better believe I began correcting that error quickly. In all of my abilities I give God the Glory for real this time not just lips service but in heart service.

I simply shared with you to encourage you that putting your Confidence in Jesus is a sure thing.
