Are You Willing To Die For Your Faith?

 

With all that is going on right now in the world today, I'm sure you may have had this question in your mind also.  I had to answer that question for myself. After seeing Charlie Kirk murdered in public last month, a young 31 year old husband father and man of God, my faith was definitely awakened and inspired to walk out by faith.  I know many friends and my son who were changed with so much faith and wanting to follow Charlie's example. 

After much thought and prayer about all that is happening in our society today, I truly believe with all my heart that God is calling me to do more and share more. More about my Heavenly Father, His word...the Bible, His promises and love for the world. His desire for all to come to Him and be set free from sin. To draw near to Him for comfort and purpose.  

With all that, includes the possibility of persecution while we are sharing the gospel to others on a daily basis.  As a Christian, I am ready, willing and able to do what God calls me to do and endure whatever  consequences may come about, I'll do it anyway.  Obeying God to speak love, life and fullness of God's mercy and grace is an honor to do, so that the lost can hear the truth and be saved. 

My heart goes out to the lost and deceived.  We should not have fear or hesitation while sharing with others the truth.  If they are not interested, just move on peacefully and bless them.  If they are interested in hearing more and have questions, continue speaking and ask God to fill your mouth with the right words for each person's situation.  

Ask yourself this very important question....Are you willing to die for your faith? Many of think that we have such a painful life but there are always others with more pain...

16 Years Of Silence

 

Putting all my thoughts together when I write, is sometimes difficult because I have so many subjects I believe I need to share and talk about it. This subject for today's post, has been in my life for 16+ years now.  My youngest daughter went to Bible college and we were excited that she wanted to go. Shortly after, she told  us she met a guy.  Ok, we were excited for that as well, since he was enrolled with her at the college. We assumed he was a Christian. They came to visit us for the weekend and they argued a few times.  We told them they had to in sleep separate bedrooms and maybe that was the issue.  She was about 20 years old at that point.  He was nice to us but very distant. 

A few months later, she told me they were getting married and so she came alone and I took her and my 2 other daughters to a beautiful bridal shop nearby. It was a very emotional day for the 4 of us.  She left and then told me a week later that she did not know when they were getting married yet so everything was on hold temporarily.  Then, a couple of months after that, I found out through my other daughter that she had gotten married to him!! I was devastated and immediately called her husband.  I asked why he didn't tell us and when was the actual date. He said, "It's none of your business." 

Huh? He turned a 360 and didn't want to give us any information. I was so angry, not so much that they didn't have a big family wedding that we would have paid for, but him not wanting me to know their actual date of marriage. Not something, we as moms ever dream would happen.  

During that time, my husband and I knew we were going to lose our home that we had tried to save with bankruptcy over 5 years.  The house wasn't worth what we purchased it for and we were done so we moved to Florida. We told our 2 daughters including the one who had just gotten married that they could all stay there until the bank took it back.  Temporary, but it would be free and they did move in.  We asked him to make sure to cut the grass with our lawn mower and he refused.  He literally thought we were being racist because we asked him to cut the grass, and we did not ask our daughters to do it. Then we got a call from our neighbor that said she saw him beating his dogs who were also with them in our home. She said she called dog rescue and they took the dogs from them. They moved out after that and went back to Texas.

My daughter did come visit us in Florida one time alone.  She put make up on her face, texted a picture of herself with make up to her husband and he immediately told her to take it off. Another shocker for me. What is going on here?  By 2016, my husband and I bought another home and we hadn't seen her for a couple of years.  She did start calling me to correct me about Bible scripture and I found out she and her husband were into the Black Hebrew Israelites cult.  I went on a rampage of investigation and learning all I can about it. It is NOT good at all, but now I understood why he was the way he was toward us and even my daughter. He was originally raised by his father, who was a Muslim, which was bad in itself. But now this? And, why would he go to a Christian Bible college? I'll never know. 

Fast forward to 2020 and we invited them to come visit us since we had planned a family get together. He was not going to come and I asked her to please come with him since he is part of our family and it was a while since we had seen him. We offered to pay for his flight, so he came.  We had a large family dinner at the house and my sister n law started talking to him about BLM riots that were very big that summer. He responded by arguing with my sister n law and my brother while my husband and I were outside with a few other family members. 

My husband went in the house to stop them, but they didn't stop.  A few minutes later, we went in again and they were not done.  Why my sister n law would start a conversation with a young black man about BLM in the first place, I'll never understand, but they ended up leaving.. My daughter and her husband came outside and he continued talking. My daughter was very respectful but not her husband who, after a few minutes was calling me white racist pig, etc.  My husband had to tell them to leave. My heart was broken for my daughter who never said anything while he was calling me names. Obviously, he is very controlling, which is probably why she said nothing. That was the last time I spoke to her or saw her.

Almost 2 years ago now, she gave birth to their first child and I have never met or seen this baby.  The only reason I found out about her being pregnant was because she met my mom in Puerto Rico with her mother n law right before my grand daughter was born.  Since then, my daughter has not communicated with any of her family including myself.  

It is estrangement but not because I ever had any relationship issues with her.  It was her husband who coerced her to believe we were no good by fighting with us when we last saw him.  He made it very clear that she should  never talk to us again because we are racist. Well, that's a lie since my first husband, my four kids" father, was black.  I am Puerto Rican and would never marry someone and have kids with a black man IF I was racist.  

I pray for my daughter who is now 36 years old.  It is very sad that she would, from the very beginning, not call me on her own to tell me that they were going to get married alone instead of having a big wedding. It all started because of him and I pray for him too.  

Need Prayer? Join our Private Weekly Prayer Hub!

 

Hi Momma's! 

I've been wanting to open a private prayer hub on Facebook and I think it is time to open the doors.  If you are a Mom who needs prayer for your estranged adult kids, for your relationship with your spouse, financial issues or anything at all, we will begin this private group to pray for each other twice a week in the morning. Every Monday and Tuesday mornings at 7am Central for now.  We can change it anytime of needed but for now let's start there. 

Christian Moms Prayer Hub is the name of our new private prayer group. 

Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1MLMFU7wFg/

FYI...You do not have to be a Mom to join us for prayer. 

Luke 10:19  Jesus said, Behold I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Matthew 16:19  Jesus said, And I will give you all the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Prayer is powerful when we use the authority God has given us as believers by faith.  Let's get together and pray for our families, communities, churches and our country. Whatever you need prayer for, we will lift it up to heaven for God to move on your behalf.  Let's do this together!

Trusting God Brings Growth

         

        Trusting God can sometimes be difficult.  We pray and pray for God to do something really important and we don't see Him answering us.. No matter what is going on or not going on and you are disappointed, it can be hard to have faith. But what is faith?  How can we have faith and trust God?  Faith is trusting our God who we can not see but we believe that He is a good God. Faith IS believing when you do not see results in your timing.  Remember, God is working even when we do not see it!  

        The irony of it all, is in life, God brings us through "fire" of trials and low places so we can move out of it eventually, learn from it and we will SEE why He did it, once we get through it. That is a promise. I've been there and I know beyond a shadow of any doubts that God is faithful and will do it. But, if for some reason He doesn't do it at all, we will also understand why... when we draw near to Him.  I know it's not always easy but God is the creator of our universe and He created us with purpose and a plan.  He also created us with FREE will to choose our steps. He wants us to go to Him for wisdom so we will make wise choices but He does not make us do anything.  

Mark 11:23-24 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the see, and does Not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

        Remember, God is not Santa Claus.  You don't wish for things from God and not ever have a relationship with Him. He wants us to draw near to Him and learn who He is and what He desires of  us. A relationship with Him, not just, "Answer my prayer now please.." Be patient and wait on the Lord.

        God is faithful and gracious. He is merciful and loves us more than we could ever imagine. Learn to trust Him in your most difficult times and He will be with you in the "fire". He walks with us and comforts us while we are going through it. He will never leave us. 

Wake Up Church!

 Have you noticed the news about Islamic religion is spreading quickly across America?  How the mayor of  Dearborn, Michigan told a Christian resident that he wasn't welcome in that city? Did you know that the Islamic religion leaders(Islamic terrorists) have a mission to take over the world? There are thousands of Christians in Nigeria right now, being murdered every month and all over the world but we don't hear about it. The news is silent. School shootings and violence are way up too.  

I am very disturbed by all that is going on here and around the world.  It is awakening my faith, questioning my Heavenly Father what we need to do as Christians.  We love all people and this country has religious freedom. This is good but if any "religion" that has a foundation of violence and hatred toward non believers (infidels) like Christians and Jews here in America, then we need to get involved peacefully and prayerfully with strategic intervention.  The church has been stuck within the four walls of the church building for many years. Obviously, there are a few that get out on the street and preach the gospel but most of us have not.  

The assassination of Charlie Kirk last month has brought about a revival of believers to get out and share our faith. Many have given their hearts to the Lord for the first time, or came back to their faith. Encouraged by Charlie's work, dedication to having peaceful conversations about life, politics and His faith.  I literally freaked out from shock when I heard that he was shot while he was doing his ministry work on campus. The Holy Spirit of God is stirring us up, because it is way past time for us to mobilize and gather in public spaces to share the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

When I was a young teenager learning for the first time about the "end times" and Jesus coming back one day, it literally seemed like it was so far in the future that it would happen after I died of old age.  Now that I just turned 59, It feels like it will be much sooner than what I ever believed.  The sign of the times is here.  The news of digital currency and Christian persecution spreading deeper throughout the world are just 2 examples. My prayer is that the church would wake up, and ask God for fearless courage.  

There is so much evil going on in this world and in America, and we need to wake up!  I'm awake. I know because my Mom passed away in April of this year and it hit me hard.  She was a good mom and she became a Christian which in turn, opened the door for me to get saved and changed my life forever. I'm so grateful for that.  Her passing motivated me to seek God and surrender everything to Him. God delivered me from alcoholism and took the heavy weight and pain from my estranged adult kids. God set me free and now I know God has a calling on my life to share my testimony and encourage other Moms and families to trust our Heavenly Father.  My message is, Let's do this together!  

                                                              Me and My Momma! 

Breaking Generational Curses

 

    There is a deep history of divorce, witchcraft and alcoholism in my family going back a few generations that I know of.  My Mom's side had the alcohol issues and my Dad's side had witchcraft and lots of divorces when divorce was not even popular like it is now.  When it comes to generational curses, we may not know all of it in some cases, but you can still break them!  I have 4 adult kids, 2 adult stepsons and 4 grandchildren so far. I don't want the curses to continue, which is why I did some research on the matter.

Look up one of my previous post on August 12, 2025 about spiritual warfare where I read a book shared to me by a friend and this book, written by  Bern Zumpano,  published in 1999.  So, even though I understood spiritual warfare for  many years, I'm using his information  which is organized in such a way for me to share and make it easier for others to understand. 

There are multiple scriptures in the Bible that explain our authority, as believers, to pray effectively.  With faith and understanding of our God given authority, we will have more success.

Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth, will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

These are only 3 basic scriptures where Jesus is talking to his disciples giving us spiritual authority while praying. There are many more that I'll share in future posts but I'll start with these 3 today.

I believe that my Mom is the first generation to stop the curse. She was delivered many years ago and never went back. I do not believe that she prayed to remove the generational curse though, so I am  doing it now. My father is not a Christian as of today so any generational curses do need to be removed also.  

Foundation of Curses and How to remove them:

1. Understand the reality of curses spoken of in the Bible.  

2. Sin opens the door to demonic curses. As unbelievers, we live in sin without the redemption of Jesus, so it will continue until we personally get saved and remove it.

3.Understand that when we do get saved, it is our spirit that is set free from sin through the blood of Jesus, dying on the cross and raised from the dead. His gift was a true sacrifice for all of us who accept it, confess and turn away from our sin.

4.  Our soul is not saved. Basically, our thoughts have to be renewed daily by asking God to renew our mind(soul)  so we do not listen to lies of the devil who only wants to kill, steal and destroy us. He does not have the power once we surrender our mind and thoughts to the Holy Spirit daily because we love God.  Deliverance comes when we truly believe the Word of God is TRUE.

5.  God gave us the authority in the Spirit realm to break power of curses in our family.

6. We want to obey God because that is where our blessing comes from.

7.  Respond to the devil by Ignoring those thoughts that you know are not from God! Do not fear.   

8.  Live life with expectation of God's goodness and Honor God in everything we do. 

                                Prayer for Breaking Generational Curses

Lord Jesus Christ, I confess to you all the sins of my ancestors and predecessors, my spouse's ancestors and predecessors, on all sides of all our families, back to our families origins.  I repent, on their behalf, for all their sins that caused the problem or generations curse or curses to come into our family lines.  In particular, I repent of all of their past sexual sins, of all sins of witchcraft or idolatry, and confess them to YOU, repent for them, and renounce them before YOU, right now, Lord Jesus Christ.  I repent for all whom they may have hurt by their past actions and sins, and ask Your forgiveness for all of their past harm to others.  I bless them to 1000 generations. I ask all these things of You, Lord Jesus Christ, in Your Holy Name.          AMEN!

Estranged Adult Kids

 

        

        There are so many reasons why our adult kids walk away from their family. Every situation is different.  In my experience with other moms who have shared with  me their story, many times it's because they walked away from their faith in God and didn't want to hear about it or be around it anymore.  Another reason is they were neglected or abused by someone early on as a child by someone other than their parents. That experience, you may not have even heard or known about because they didn't share it with you.  So, the enemy steps in when they go to expensive therapy sessions.  The therapist will ask about their childhood and it always will come back to us as parents.  The therapist does not encourage conversation with parents or healing of the relationship. They just focus on the pain that most times is not derived from the parents but they will believe that it's best to stay away from us. Now we become the enemy to our own adult kids. 

The irony of it all is our adult kids will eventually have kids and make mistakes too because that is life. Most of us do our best to raise our kids but we will all make mistakes, including our kids who want to stay away from us for our mistakes. 

The truth of the matter is, the enemy is deceitful and wants to destroy family relationships by indoctrinating people through the education system, through social media and other places over time to believe that family is not important.  That God is Not real. You don't need to get married. You can get rid of a baby in your womb if you don't want it.  Marriage means nothing.  Stay away from the moms and dads who raised you and you don't need to honor them because they must have looked at you the wrong way or punished you for skipping school one day. That we can be our own God.  

That is why I believe that we need to come together as Moms of faith to believe God for our kids.  We wrestle not against flesh and blood(people) but against spiritual wickedness in high places. This is spiritual warfare that we need to believe God to heal our adults minds and bring the Love of God back into their lives.
