Saving Grace

Sometimes we quote some Scriptures over and over and over again, so much that at the end we have it memorized, and when someone else start the sentence we can quickly finish it. But how many of us can say that a certain Scripture you got it memorized because you lived it?

As a part of my daily life, whenever I separate from my kids for whatever reason either when they leave the house, and I stay, or when I'm the one who leaves and they stay,  I plea the blood of Jesus over their lives.  For long time now I've known and recognized that in my own ability, I have limitations and that is IMPOSSIBLE for me to want to be 24 hours a day behind each of my kids in order for them to live accident-free lives, but someone long time ago taught me that is for that same reason that it was better for me and the sake of my mental peace to start putting my children's protection in God's hands.  By entrusting them to HIM who is the ONLY ONE who can REALLY be behind each of them 24/7:

1. I would realize that after I release them to HIM, HE will be in charge of them, not me. 
2. That HE will stop them from going in places that they might be tempted to go but that they do not have to go to.
3. I would realize that God does a better protection job than me.
4. That whatever happens it has been allowed by God with a purpose.
5. When I can't see His purpose if I choose to question Him about it, I believe He will explain to me whatever I need/want to know
6. I'm living what I preach to them, because I want them to do the same for their kids.
7. I believe by me living what I preach, will helps my kids to realize that our mental peace does not come by our might, nor by our power or anything accomplished by the flesh but by trusting in GOD.
8. And that in order to acquire that peace is necessary for them to covered their loved ones with the blood of Jesus
9. After all these, last but not least, my faith in GOD grows when the testimony of HIS grace arises.

Here's an example:

There was a day after spending many hours in prayer and studying when I decided to call home to request my ride back home, I asked my daughter for the boys, and she said that Daddy had given them permission to go to a near by creek.  Since that's a very secluded place I do not allow them to go without an adult supervision, so when she said they had gone on their own I wasn't too happy about it, but what else to do since they were already gone? So after questioning my husband if he had covered them with the blood of JESUS for protection, and without waiting a second for his answer, I immediately started to cover them in prayer pleading the blood over them.

About an hour and a half later, they showed up at home with another teenager who was with them, I heard them all rowdy telling jokes and stories of their adventure, but since I was getting ready for a meeting, although I heard some details I wasn't totally hearing and therefore unaware of a major detail of that great adventure they had on that hot and steamy summer day of 2016. After I finished getting ready they had gone out to grab something to eat, and when I got back from the meeting, they had already crashed in bed. So next morning, as we were having breakfast, everyone at the table the adventure stories from the previous day started again, and I was excited I had time to hear all that I hadn't heard last night. It was then I understood their excitement, because although they had not realized spiritually what had happened, they were excited that they were able to tell about it. What happened, was nothing shorter than a miracle! Because the hand of GOD had literally had reach out to them just before they were about to drown.  As these three teenagers (20, 19 & 15) were walking down the creek, it got deeper for my youngest son which is an inch over six feet tall to touch the floor, and with another friend, they decided to piggyback on my oldest son, which is three inches taller. Then, in their teenage mind, instead of turning back, they decided to keep going, but then my oldest got sucked in together with the other two kids on his back, as he encountered a sink hole and his feet couldn't touch ground anymore. In the frenzy of the moment, they couldn't swim, the current was pushing them in deeper, and further down the creek, and all they did wasn't working.  spectators were looking from the far but no help was coming from anybody, but as they were loosing their hopes, they didn't know that as a realized where they were, I started to call upon JESUS for His protective hand to be over them with the blood, and what seems to be impossible that's what happened. My oldest was mightily strengthen and was able to swim out of the sink hole, then pulled one of the kids up and threw him away from the sink hole area, and the same with other one. He recognized he was tired and exhausted, but a supernatural strength (I immediately recognized was from God) allowed him to saved them. It was at that moment they recognized their creek time was over, and they had to come back home. So no wander they were excited telling us about it! In addition to, we discovered that the time I was pleading the blood of JESUS over them was at the time that they were fighting for their lives. Right then, at the table, I burst out in praises and tears as I worshiped GOD for HIS protection over them had been greater than anything I could ever offered to them.

Ephesians 2:8 New Living Translation (NLT)

⁸ God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God."

That moment became a great teachable time for me.  I was able to explain the importance of praying before we leave the house, before we do things, and go to places, because any moment could be our last moment on this earth, and not only we have to be ready but we want the Lord to stop us from going, doing and the wrong things before hand.  In addition to, as we plead the blood over others it can and will prevent them from falling into something destructive, or as terrible as the sink hole episode on the creek was.

If you are asking yourself, why are you telling me this? It is because as you read this I've been praying for The Lord to open your prayer appetite, and for next time you separate from your kids as you pray over them, to plead the blood of Jesus.  I'm praying for Him to show you what He can and will save you and them from, so you can testify to the world that there is power, power, wonder working power in the Blood of the Lamb!

Until next time, (or until you come back to me with a testimony of what GOD had revealed to you), I pray the blessings of God be upon you, as you follow HIM wholeheartedly, in Jesus name, AMEN!
