Hi guys,this is a short story about my family
For starters,my father is a drunkard who physically and verbally abused my mom and us his 6 kids.me and my 3 brothers were born at a time wen he had become less violent but my mom told me of all the abuse she has suffered at the hands of my father and it was beyond belief.i asked her why she was telling me all these horrible things and she said because she didnt want me to make the same mistake.i realise that now is the time to wage a holy war against the enemy and break the hold he has over my family so i ask u to pliz stand with me in prayer.
the story continues.my sister fell pregnant wenshe was 17 and my father disowned her bcoz she had shamed the family name and i was only 5 then so i dont really know her .Now she is at school but she is also a part time prostitute with 3 kids she can barely take care of.My brothers are a very angry bunch of boys. 3 of them have left home but they still carry the hurt and pain of the past.One of them once said to me, "it's alright that dad abused us but if it had been mum i swear i would kill him...." so my mom never told him.they are all born agin but they need to be delivered.the sad thing is that as each person leaves home they are leaving behind the responsibility of praying for my dad and sister's salvation as well as the family.We used to pray a lot but over the years we got used to it and we just forgot,but now the spirit has aroused me to reclaim their lives.
and another thing,my dad is an atheist who comes from a lineage of witches.in 1981 i lost a brothere and sister i never knew bcoz my aunts had cast spell on them.From that same side of the family is a spirit of promiscuity,among many others, and it affects mostly the women i.e.99% of them.i struggled with that spirit growin up even after i got saved.(not that i was sleepin around,it was mo of lust problem)everybody expected me to go down that road but i have a Father who had a greater plan for my life.one thing i have never told anyone though is that i was raped by a neighbour wen i was about 3yrs old.i spent my whole childhood blaming myself and for years and years i couldn't sleep at night, i would have nightmares.You see, i never had a childhood,the devil took that away from me but i praise God that he did not allow him to take my future too.truly if it had not been for the lord who was on my side i would have been swallowed up.
so this is my story,pliz pray with me connernin my family.over the years we've managed to sweep it under the carpet and pretend like everything is alrightbut im tired of the lies.im tired of watchin the enemy tear our family apart.my God is mo than able to break thru the chains and tear down the strongholds.

Lord Jesus Christ I come before you in intercession for a sister in Christ. I thank you that I can be a sister to a sister. Jesus I am only a person but YOU are the God of the universe. Nothing is to hard for YOU. No problem is to big for YOU.
Satan, I resist you and all your workers in the Person and power of the Lord Jesus Christ. I submit to the Lordship and control of the Lord Jesus, and I bring the power of my Lord's incarnation, His crucifixion, His resurrection, His ascension, His glorification, His second coming directly to focus against you and all of your work against Tendai, me, our families, and people on this board. I claim my union with the Lord Jesus Christ and I resist you; I resist you and I force you to flee from before the truth of God.
For Lord Jesus Christ you have told us in person and in your Word;
"For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life!"
John 3:16
Lord Jesus Christ we walk not in our power but in yours....In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

SO LORD I PRAY THAT WHATEVER THE ENEMY HAS PLANNED FOR THIS FAMILY TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF SUCH POLANS. THEY WILL NO LONGER SEE THE LIGHT OF THE DAY...YOU SAID LORD THAT WHEN WE AGREE UPON A THING...IT SHALL BE DONE ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH WE HAVE PRAYED. LORD WE AGREE WITH OUR SISTER THAT TODAY IS THE DAY OF DELIVERANCE. ALL OF THESE WE HAVE PRAYED IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

Dear Tendai, I lift you and your entire family to our Father, our glorious Light and Salvation, Who loves us all infinitely, and Who delights in thwarting the plans and strongholds of the enemy. I ask His special, miraculous blessings and grace and protection upon You. He is indeed a Lifter of our heads. He is indeed a Father Who has a future and a hope for each of us, and our loved ones.
Oh Father, Abba, Papa, our Maker and Redeemer, Thou Who delights in blessing us, I pray with Your saints for our sister and her family. Father You are THE Light in darkness. Where You shine, no darkness can remain. Father chase it and evict it and loose its tentacles from around each heart that it grasps. Father bring Your Light forth. Shine it. Fill Tendai to overflowing with it. Plant joyfulness and thanksgiving and praise deep, deep into her heart, mind and soul. So that the praises spill over onto others as well making even her very presence a blessing and a testimony to You. Grant her in quadruple merriment of the soul so that she is a very balm to the souls of others and thus ministering to others who are devoid of it. Father place a sheild of Your protection around her and strengthen and sustain her through Your Spirit. Father it is written that the joy of the Lord is our strength. May it indeed be so, in Jesus name, amen.
Godspeed

Father, thank You for a place to come to where we can pick up a burden or lay one down. Help us to begin our healing from these abuses we have suffered as innocent children. You know the abuse Father, just because it cannot be seen on the skin makes it no less damaging. The world is full of these children. Some grown, some not, but You know us all. Father, I feel it is no wonder we see the crime and disregard for human life in this world for that is what some are taught and too few are delivered from. Thank You for giving my mother the direction to lead me to You, for I would not have had a chance in this life without You. I come to You with thanks from a weary child's heart. It is only by Your grace we are able to acknowledge these atrocities and seek healing and renewal. You make all things new Father. Let us identify these things which hold us back. Let us face these demons and return them to the pit of hell in the name of Jesus. May You be the great Vindicatior, God in heaven. May these people who hurt us pay Your price and may we not seek more than that. Help us Father to see the battle within ourselves and seek You and find You dear One. Lay upon us the responsibility of identifying these hurts and coming to You with them. Make a way for us through the pain so that we will find Your heart in the middle of it and be set free. hallelujah.
I join in prayer for Tendai. How wonderful that You have given her the revelation of the forces at work in her family. Give her the power to overcome. Reveal to her just where the blame goes and may she not be in bondage to the life she was born into. I command all ties of the enemy to be destroyed in the name of Jesus Christ! Father just wrap Your arms around Tendai and give her sweet peace and rest. Father hold her tightly and let her know it is all going to be okay. You are the Mighty Problem Solver and You can deliver all the members of her family. It is Your will Father that none perish and I thank You for giving her a heart of love for her family, not hate. I thank You for her willingness to talk about it, not hold it in and let it suffocate her. I thank You for her maturity and the relization that things were not right. Give her Father the knowledge deep down in her heart, in her soul, saturate her body with the knowledge that it is not her fault and not hers to fix. Each person must choose. Please release her Father from any plans of the evil one. Do not let this situation steal her joy and comfort found only in You.
Dearest Father, You are more than even the most perfect earthly father could ever be. Even if my life had been perfect, it would still be dirtied by the fact that it could never compare to the love You have for Your children. Our meager attempts of love for one another here on this earth cannot compare to the love we find in You. Thank You Father.
Humble in Him,
Bobbie

thank you all for your prayers,i believe God is already doin mighty things in my family.You kno yesterday after posting i felt so helpless, weak and distraught.i suppose its because over the years i had just forgotten .it was like lookin in a mirror and realising that i had absolutely no power to change circumstances .that was so overpowering.my first impulse was to get on my knees and take authority but the spirit just had his way and i jus praised God.i know spirirual warfare is very impotant but all i could do was praise.as i was lifting up the name of the lord he jus gave me a peace.he made me realise that he is God and lord over all,he is highly exalted over anything we could ever go thru.he reminded me that the battle belongs to him and he is greater so i should rejoice and kno that i am more than a conqueror.indeed our God is a great God and worthy is he to receive all our praises.
now i realise why over the past few weeks i have jus been consumed with a desire to praise the lord.some nights i dont even sleep coz i get so excited singing and making a joyful noise unto the lord.i tell myself that i'll sleep at midnight and then midnight comes and the next thing i kno its 6am.how can i but praise this great and mighty God that we serve.my heart's desire and my cry to god everyday is that he would give me the heart of a worshiper.so anyway,
i find rest and strength in praising him and i thank you for your prayers and at the risk of yet again sounding like a broken record let me say
praise the lord all ye people,he is so worthy of our praises!!!!!
these are a few scriptures that have really helped me a lot
Ps84:4-7
blessed are those who dwell in your house,they are ever praising you.blessed are those whose strength is in you,whose hearts are set on the pilgrimage.when they pass thru the valley of Baca they make it into a wellspring and rain fills the pools.they go from strength to strength until they appear before the lord in zion..
Ps89:15/16
blessed are they that have learned to acclaim you o lord,they walk in the light of your presence.in your name they will rejoice all day and in your righteousness they shall be exalted.
Ps40:3
and put a new song in my mouth of praise to you;many will see and fear and put their trust in you
Is55:12/13
and you shall go out in joy and be led forth with peace,the mountains and the hills shall break out before you into singing and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands. instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;and it shall be to the Lord for a name,for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
