God gave me my daughter back!

Today, I wanted to give a testimony of why I believe God is the turning point in everyone's life and why we should rely on Him and trust in Him for everything.

When I was a teenager, I rebelled to my mother. I was disrespectful, defiant, and promiscuous. As an adult having my first child, I returned to my mother asking her forgiveness and she responded with a "that's okay, every teen goes through that."

As I grew, matured, and finally gave my life over to the Lord, it become evident to me how much of my past was going to repeat itself. You sow your seeds and reap the consequences from them.

I discovered deliverance prayer and started praying through the destructive actions of my wayward days...I saw such a great improvement in my children, my relationships, etc...

As my eldest daughter grew into a teenager, she started turning away from me. She wanted to go and live with her father. I knew this day would come but quite frankly I thought it would be my son longing to have his father around not my daughter longing to get away from me. You reap what you sow.

Although the Lord had delivered me and my children from my sins and the sins of the previous generations, I still needed to face the consequences of my iniquities of rebellion and divorce.

With a troubled heart, I let her go knowing the Lord would truly return her to me. Her and her brother had already accepted God into their heart a couple of years before that so I was comforted with the peace that He would be walking them through this trial. I gave her and him and the situation to the Lord; cried it out for awhile and prayed for them daily - never looked back.

She is now 18 and wrote me the most beautiful letter expressing her love for me and thankful that I was a tool to getting her to God. She now expresses her love for me and appreciation for me more than I could have ever imagined.

She is so much smarter and wise than I ever was at that age.

My mom still admits she hasn't really given her life to God and hopes she will before her time comes. Oh, mom, I wish you could have prayed me through those horrific times and delivered me sooner but I am now grateful for those trials for they have made me a better mother and confidant for my children.

Trusting in God in every circumstance no matter how dim only leads to good things. Allow the Lord to deliver you from your past mistakes and those of your parents and grandparents. Find freedom from breaking those chains.

Parents, do your children a huge favor deliver them from your past mistakes - see below for some good workbooks to walk you through deliverance prayer. It is time-consuming but well worth the energy. And prayer for your children and spouses everyday - it provides so much strength not only to them as individuals but as a family.

I did. I will not look back on that decision. Receiving God and allowing Him to work His wonders has been the best experience of my life. Through good and bad.

He makes it easier to cope with this circus we call life on earth.

Looking forward to seeing you when I return "home", Father! God Bless!
