Praying the Promises Day 2

Right now, my praying isn’t led by tears and great pleading, like it has been in other seasons of life. And, that is okay. The Holy Spirit has to remind me of this. God still hears & is still answering. The Holy Spirit is interceding for me & I will keep claiming the promises for my kids & other people’s children. 

Psalm 2:8 says,
 “Only ask & I will give you the nations as your inheritance, 
the whole earth as your possession!” 

Lord, would give to me the children- my children, other people’s children & all of those whom You have placed a burden for on my heart...would you give them to me as my inheritance? When I get to Heaven I want to see them & see the fruit of their labor for You! That is enough, Lord, more than enough! Keep my eyes focused on this inheritance, not wavering from it! 


Psalm 3-
1 O LORD, they have so many enemies; so many are against them.

2 So many are saying, “God will never rescue them!” 

3 But you, O LORD, are a shield around them; you are their glory, the one who holds their head high. 

4 They cried out to the LORD, and he answered them from his holy mountain. 

5 They lay down and slept, yet they woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over them. 

6 They are not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround them on every side. 

7 Arise, O LORD! Rescue them, my God! Slap all their enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked! May you bless your people!

In these verses, I think of enemies as the people, demonic forces, temptations, sins, etc. that attack my children’s lives & hearts. God is bigger, He is their protector & because of that truth, this Mama can rest & Run With Sparkle!

Listen Up...

At the Discipleship Summit this year Jesus kept telling me in multiple ways to be a better listener... 1. He was a great listener! Isaiah 53-"He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, but he did not say anything." 2. Most of the time when I talk, I regret what I said 3. It's a way to be a servant 4. I can learn alot from other people 5. Listening is the best form of counseling...my response can be prayer! As the Lord began to challenge me with this, I began asking to help me with questions to ask people... In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

Sitting and Resting...This is How I Fight

Sitting at the feet of Jesus....this is where it all begins.  Today has the potential of a fear-filled day.  But, I have experienced a life, days, moments without fear so, with all that is in me, I am going to fight for fearlessness.  As I sit at the feet of Jesus, He gently whispers His love to me.  And, in that love, the fear is gone.  He's got our backs, He's got my kids, their schooling, their friendships, their choices, the things they see & hear. He's got it all and He cares about it all.  He loves my little family of Doyles even more than I can imagine.  In that truth and promise, I will rest today. A day that threatens fear and failure, yet in His love and power, I will rest.

A Dwelling Place

This morning I woke up to a sick baby boy.  After sending Isaiah and Moriah to Sunday School, I sat down to hear from the Lord until the Radiate Service started.  Consumed by the thought that we may all be sick for Christmas, I looked up "no more sickness" in my online concordance.  What came up was a message of hope for me and I pray  it brings you hope as well ... Revelation 21:3-8-   And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them , and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them ,   and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be  any  death; there will no longer be  any  mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” Exodus 25:8  "Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them . Exodus 29:45  Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God ....
