As we continue in our 2 Corinthians series, we are reminded in chapter 10 that we do not walk according to the flesh. We can be so distracted by the things of the flesh, outward appearance and credentials, that we miss the opportunities to experience God’s divine power to destroy strongholds. We can fear man and what people think of us rather than fearing God and placing Him in His rightful position in our lives and families. Listen in to be encouraged about the power of God that can be at work in your life today.

Our amazing God became poor that we may be rich. He has abundantly given us everything we need for life and godliness. What is our response? How can we partner with God in the work He is doing in our lives and around the world? God wants to use us! Are we ready to be His vessels?

Today’s episode brings us to a place in 2 Corinthians where Paul is encouraging the church to be faithful to do what they said they would do, to be people of their word, and to be a part of God’s work. May we have ears to hear how God is leading us and be obedient to His call.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

In 1987, I heard Fern Nichols’ radio interview with Dr. James Dobson on Focus on the Family. From that moment, I knew that if God blessed us with children, I wanted to be part of Moms in Prayer (MIP). Eleven years later, in 1998, with two children in tow and having just moved to Hong Kong, I joined my first MIP group. My life was changed as I learned to focus my prayers on God’s character and His Word.

In 2001, after adopting our third child and moving from Asia to Arkansas, God faithfully connected me with another group of praying moms. I’ve been part of that wonderful community ever since. One scripture I often pray over our children and grandchildren is, “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…” Ephesians 3:14–17a

Over the years, I’ve witnessed God pursue our children, strengthen them when they are weary, and call our children into full-time ministry and service. He is faithful—and we are called to be faithful in prayer, trusting Him to work in the lives of our children and grandchildren. I’ve learned there is no greater place to be than in His presence, interceding for the next generation and the places they live, learn, and work.

It can be easy to just let life happen to us or feel like we are barely hanging on and just trying to get through each day. Yet, we are challenged to live intentionally, to walk in a way that is pleasing to God and to be used by Him. In 2 Corinthians 6 and 7, Paul encourages us to not receive the gift of salvation in vain, but to make the most of what we have been given and to share it with others. We get to reflect the grace of God to those around us and be ambassadors for Christ. Let us not waste the time we have been given. Listen in as we walk through these chapters with our Louisiana State Coordinator, Laura Riley.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

I first heard about Moms in Prayer on Focus on the Family in 1985 when I was just a teenager. I remember thinking that when I had children, I wanted to give my kids the gift of prayer. Fast forward 25 years, my sons were 10 and 12 and our family was going on a 5-week trip to Africa for my husband to teach at Uganda Baptist Seminary. I was asked to teach the women about parenting. The Lord impressed on me to not be afraid, to read the new book I had brought on the trip, Every Child Needs a Praying Mom by Fern Nichols, and to use that book to teach the four steps of prayer to the Ugandan moms. When I got home, I realized I couldn’t go to Africa and do something I wasn’t willing to do in my own town, so I started a Moms in Prayer group.

Whether our kids are in a private school, public school, or homeschool, we will be better parents when we are consistently praying with other women for our children.

It is wonderful to have other women praying over my children. I can look back at the prayer sheets and see that God has been faithful. God continues to shape my sons into the men of God He wants them to be. Now I pray not only for our two sons, but also our two daughters-in-law, and our two grandsons. God is faithful, generation after generation.
