Works For Me Wednesday

This is the Backwards edition of WFMW, where I get to post a question and you can answer.  Please stop by Rocks In My Dryer, for more Q & A’s. 

With the prices of everything going up at the grocery store, everyone I know is trying to stretch their dollars and food.  Milk is hovering at around $4.00 a gallon again, and it pains me to pay that much for it.  So I was reading about powdered milk, and you can get a large box of it fairly cheap.  I’ve never tried it before, so I’d like any advice at all.  Thanks!

Prayer for a child’s room

Lord, I invite Your Holy Spirit to dwell in this room, which belongs to ______________.  You are Lord over Heaven and earth, and I proclaim that You are Lord over this room as well.  Flood it with Your light and life.  Crowd out any darkness which seeks to impose itself here, and let no spirits of fear, depression, anger, doubt, anxiety, rebelliousness, or hatred find any place here.  I pray that nothing will come into this room that is not brought by You, Lord.  If there is anything here that should not be, show me so it can be taken out. 

Put Your complete proptection over this room so that evil cannot enter here by any means.  Fill this room with Your love, peace and joy.  I pray that my child will say, as David in the Bible did, “i will walk within my house with a perfect heart.  I will set nothing wicked before my eyes”. (Psalm 101:2-3)  I pray that You, Lord, will make this room a holy place, sanctified for Your Glory. 
From Power of a Praying Parent by Stormie O’Martian

You shall take the annointing oil and annoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and you shall hallow it an all it’s utensils, and it shall be holy.  Exodus 40:9

Last week I annointed rooms and said this prayer in my house.  I’ve been seeking the Lord much more closely, and satan is attacking because of it.  It’s ok when he comes after me, but when he goes after my kids, … well I let him know they are off limits to him.  I am prepared with the armor of God to fight him all the way.

GOD CARES MORE FOR OUR FREEDOM

THAN EVEN WE DO.  HE INITIATED THE

SAVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIS

PEOPLE AND THEIR LIBERATOR.

O Lord, like David, help me rejoice in
Your strength and say of You, “How great is
my joy in the victories You give!”  Father, please
grant me the desire of my heart to be free from
the strongholds in my life.  Do not withhold
the request of my lips (Ps. 21:1-2).

For I know that my old self was crucified
 with You, so that this body of sin might be
done away with, that I should no longer be a
slave to sin-because anyone who has died has
been freed from sin (Rom. 6:6-7).

I acknowledge that it is for freedom that
Christ has set  me free.  Your desire is for me
to stand firm and not let myself be burdened
again by the yoke of slavery (Gal. 5:1).

Help me, Lord.  Empower me!
