A Father’s Love. Happy Birthday Lauren & Laure’l

Taking this occasion of the celebration of birth for “THESE 2!” AKA “The Twins”, mere words cannot express the depth nor height, the width or magnitude of the love I have for “THESE2!”

Where the odds were stacked against you from the very beginning I thank your mother and my forever friend other Connie Austin for standing in the gap from the very beginning. You taught me at birth the depth of a fathers love and why men seriously joke about “I will kill a ninja….” Sons are wonderful and I have 2 of the best but there’s something about girls that is repeated in the granddaughters they’ve given me.

They are truly God’s gift to me

But the most important gift is the fact that “THESE2!” nagged, conjoled (I made up a word), even shamed me into taking them to church. It got to the point I gave in just to shut them up and the rest is history. I wouldn’t be here today figuratively and probably literally if is had not been for them.

So, what’s next?

I was reminded that “as holy as I am now when I was in my 30’s I raised enough hell to send me there but by the grace of God I am here to wish “THESE2!” “THE TWINS” a Happy Birthday! I woke up in the middle of the night, with one of those Love Letters to and from God regards His daughters. You see I taught them very early in life I may be their father but they have a Father “whose arch is in heaven” (you had to be there to get that one. He is the one whose they are and never forget that.

The best is yet to come!

As you grow, mature and become abundantly blessed there is a price to pay. Power concedes nothing without a struggle. As you grow the enemy of your souls is going to fight to keep and maintain and grow whatever toe hold you give them. Whether it’s in lifestyle choices, mates, habits and wayward family members, you’ve got to fight the good fight of faith. Giving no place for even the slightest hint of evil.

In the beginning it’s difficult giving up those things that seem to pleasure you but in the end it leads to destruction. The generations fought hard for you to life holy, righteous and free and they would cheer you on. And the generations now need the excellent example of a holy righteous life to pattern themselves so they can be the best parents, leaders and children of God they can be

So this is my prayer!

love letters to God
My beloved children

Father I pray a father’s covering prayer over my beloved daughters and all who they love, cherish and pray for. 

As they grow in You I speak life into their lives and death to all that seek their demise. Father, Defeat every devised, designed, hoped for plan for her destruction. Every foe within and without who cause her destruction, demise or elimination. 

Whatever is missing be found, whatever is broken is mended to be stronger than ever before. 

Beloved, may your spirit man become the strongman that presents you before Gods presence every second, every moment, everyday, always and forever. 

I declare and decree that you are a beacon of light that illuminates the way for others, that warms, protects , provides light to the path of righteousness, the way of life to the One who is The Way, The Truth, The Life in Yeshua mighty name.

So I present to you to my Father, my Lord, my God wrapped and girded inthe full amour of God that protects, leads and guides you to life everlasting. 

That you are fully clothed, armed, ready, willing and amazingly able to charge into the battlefield with faith to destroy every burden, defeat every enemy, cast down every stronghold, every demonic mind, heart and spirit the has been designed, anointed, captured, released against you and every saint who you have found favor with, has favor with you and who desire to be stronger for The Lord and His Kingdom. 

Beloved, trim your lamps with the oil of truth, the oil of the Spirit so that your lamp will light the way to the Ark of Safety, to that great banquet feast, that wedding feast where we will all be united with The Brides Groom, who will present us faultless,glorious, without spot nor wrinkle to our Father, the God, Maker of all creation. All Who was, is and to come. 

Say, I am His and He is mine and forever it’s in His will and pavilion I will forever abide. 

Father, I’m yours, forever to rest and abide in your dwelling place forever! AMEN!!!

We might just learn something!

At this hour, during this great debate, I encourage us men of Yah to take a step back and consider how fearfully and wonderfully made our wivesmotherssistersdaughtercousinsfriends are. They possess the most valuable,creative, precious place on earth- their reproductive tract. 

Second only to her mind/heart, she can do what no other being in creation can do. 

The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

Only the human woman can deliver to the earth a being shaped in the image and likeness of Almighty YAH. 

Yahweh has trusted her with a task so incredibly essential that it was Yeshua’s perfected method to enter into the earth to save our souls.  (You remember Mary, right?)

Yes, we germinate and yes it’s our seed that impregnates but its women who are trusted with the stewardship of the gustation & birth. It’s their mother spirit that nurtures us from the womb to the tomb. That we must love, respect,honor and not deny. 

For that we need to listen with our spiritual hearts and ears to what she is truly saying about her body, her choice. 

Why we have two ears and one mouth

Whether we believe right or wrong, let’s listen and truly hear. Not through a political or religious lense but with the heart of Yah. With a heart of love. 

I can see Yeshua kneeling, writing in the sand, He looks up at you, He looks up to me and says “he who is without sin cast the first stone”. 

An unfortunate truth is their are many, many layers to this abortion issue that we men have never seen, heard or cared to take the time to understand or listen to. 

It wasn’t until I heard a dear sister’s story did I stop and consider there’s more to this then what meets the eye. 

Lets develop a level of understanding

Yes, there’s evil run amuck in many places, in many hearts but there’s a remnant women with serious issues and concerns that we Godly men must cover, protect and provide for. 

I don’t know exactly what that looks like but He does. I’ve learned in my latter days there’s much more accomplished kneeling down lookin up in prayer than standing up looking down in condemnation.

Father, please hear our prayer!

 

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live.”

Deuteronomy 30:19

Father, open our eyes that we may see that You are here with us, waiting and hearing our fervent prayers for wisdom in what to do next. 

We’re in a place like David before he attacked Ziglag. Like Jehoshaphat before warring against Moab and Ammon. Father we look to You for a plan of action. A plan of attack. 

Listen for the heart of GOD

Worship in holiness, righteousness and prayer. Not man’s way but Yahweh. Seek Me first in this and every matter and I will give you wisdom in the inmost parts and then I will deliver the enemy into your hands. 

The Word you know and believe says “every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Yeshua is Adonai to the glory of Yahweh.” Amen
