I like to look at it this way. I know when people pray the word of God such as this “thank you Father I’m blessed going in and blessed going out, and thank you for healing me and restoring me and making me whole……”
I pray this way (and more, and then some) it seems presumptious to those who are not in the habit of praying this way, but we are speaking and praying God’s word!
It’s a weapon in your mouth, it slays the dragon (your enemy satan) when you speak and pray the word of God out loud. think of it as a weapon, and you won’t feel so wierd about it. Now you are not defenseless! You have a sword, now use it! –
I was that "unpopular" wierdo kid, that didn't fit in anywhere, in High School. I guess I never knew my place in life, until Jesus took me in. I've been rejected, misunderstood, left out, bullied, abused, scandalized, and labeled. In 2002 I got on a bus and left a marraige of sixteen years, that was fraught with abuse and heartache. In school, I used to be so afraid to stand in front of the class and speak, my hands woud visibily shake, and I could not look at my audience without being terrified.
Years later, I find myself leading a school music production, speaking in front of churches, and walking around with confidence, because I know the King of Kings is at my side.
My ministry, prayers and blogs are directed toward those who feel like they were never enough. You never fit in. You lacked confidence. My understanding of scripture was hard-won. I may not be the most theological person you ever met, but I am a daily studier of the word of God. I believe he wants to talk to you (and to me) and that your relationship with God is every bit as important to him and his relationship with some big-name minister. He cherishes you. My main thrust is evangalism to the lost, hope to the hurting, and revitalized love to those who thought they knew God, but someone cut in on them and told them they didn't.
If I can help you in any way, if you need a special speaker to speak hope to the hurting, or if you would like a copy of my Testimony book (Grace to the Rescue) let me know. I am here for you.
With Love, Laura
