I Am Taking The devil To Court!

Good Monday Morning SUMite Nation: 

WinningHimDid you know that three years ago today, Winning Him Without Words, was released? Who knew God would take two ordinary gals and we would share our struggles in a book. And today, three years later, I’m humbled to the core to know that many of you have read this love offering to God. So many of you have shared with Dineen and I that you found hope and help in the pages. You found Jesus there. 

Jesus can change absolutely everything. I’m convinced our prayers are more powerful than we believe and that 2014 is going to prove that the Kingdom of God is marching forward and breakthrough this year is common place. Woo Hoo!! 

Let me at ’em!!! 

Okay I have something really good for our Community. 

Today I’m about to deliver a mortal blow to the enemy. In fact, ALL OF US are about to take back significant ground that the enemy has taken from our families. 

Are you ready? 

Let’s go. 

I’ve been reading a book, Burnring Ones, by Jerame Nelson. This book ROCKS. As one who is hungry for more of God, I’m a voracious reader of those who have written about the manifest Presence, power, and glory of God. Jerame is what he termed, a Dread Champion. He has inspired me to truly step up to a new level of faith and action. I am a Dread Champion too! Look out devil. 

There are so many areas in our lives that satan and his minions have caused us pain. He has literally stolen our family, our health, our homes and more. 

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. ~John 10:10 NIV 

Today we are going to shine the light of God in this area and reclaim territory that has been lost, even lost for years and years. We are going to understand more about the justice of our King. 

God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:6 

 

So here is my story and this day I’m demanding that justice be rendered. 

On August 10, 2007 my brother who was the baby of the family, age 42, passed away. His young life was stolen from our family through the disease of cancer. He died of Melanoma. 

In the Kingdom of heaven, cancer doesn’t exist. I’m convinced that this disease was perpetuated by the enemy and my brother died way too young. The devil came to steal a life and trespass. He crossed a line that at the time we didn’t know how to defend. But, I’m not going to live a victim. I know God is always good. He is on my side and is in the business of justice, redemption and restoration. 

I am now contending against this attack on my family and demanding in the courts of heaven asking for a sevenfold restoration for what was stolen from me. I am asking for a sevenfold anointing to destroy cancer in people for whom I pray. 

Where is this in the Bible? 

People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. 31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house. ~Proverbs 6:30-31 

Now get this: The thief must repay sevenfold…..

 

God’s heavenly courts are open for us to petition and demand justice. I’m petitioning my Righteous Father to restore to me the years stolen and the pain of this loss. I’m asking God to demand restitution for the years stolen from my brother’s children. I’m asking the Lord to replace those lost years by restoring health to others here on earth now. I want to see people, even terminal, healed and whole in Jesus name. 

In Jesus name. 

So today, what has the enemy stolen from you? Approach the throne of grace. Begin to petition God about this promise in His holy and powerful Word. Begin to believe you will be made whole, times seven, for what the devil has stolen, killed or destroyed in your life. 

Man, I’m certain that the enemy is mad about this post today. I’m asking you to leave me a word in the comments about what you are now declaring restored, sevenfold. I will pray with you. 

This moment, this day, this hour the court of the Most High is in session and it’s our day as our loving Father extends His scepter and welcomes us to the mercy seat to make our requests known. And then we only need to stand back, pray with belief, and then watch as our God moves for us. 

Woo Hoo. I can’t wait to see what comes from this moment in the SUMite Nation. Lookout devil. Your deceptions are over. We are the ordinary/ extraordinary army of the Most High and we demand this day a return of ALL that you have stolen and it MUST BE RESTORED SEVENFOLD. In Jesus name. AMEN.

 

PS. I'm feeling much better this week. Can you tell? I love you my SUMite family. I really love you. Lynn

    They devil has stolen so much from me. He used alcoholism for the most part to do it. I lost both parents in their early sixties. I lost many years of financial security because of my own alcoholism. The biggest issue in that being a nice home. I am not materialistic, but that’s the one big thing I’ve always wanted, since my parents never really took care of this house. We really don’t have the money to do the renovations and I admit I am embarrassed to have people over. I’m tired of living a life of ‘just getting by’!
    However, I still have the mindset that life is supposed to be about suffering. I hear the old mantras of “Jesus was poor, the disciples were poor…etc. God doesn’t care about your happiness, material possessions/wants/etc.” So it s very hard for me to believe that God wants to give me anything,. Sometimes I really walk away more confused that uplifted. I apologize if these comments are inappropriate, but it’s just how I am feeling when reading Lynn’s post today.

    Lynette. I don’t believe anything we say here is ever inappropriate. We are sharing what is in our heart and soul. We are family here, who loves one another and cares about each other individually just as they are a sister and brother. As I read your comment I felt that God is either going to change your heart to accept your circumstances and discover how to be truly happy in them or He is going to move you one day from where you are into what you’ve desired for years as a blessing for your steadfast faithfulness in caring for others. Your past has made you a defender of others and God sees that and smiles.
    p.s. I think if you start having people over you may be very surprised that you do NOT see the reaction you are expecting. If people are coming to visit, they have a love and desire to just BE with YOU! xo Love you Lynette!

    But that is what confuses me…do I just accept what the devil stole? But as Lynn said, by claiming what we lost and wanting it back, to me, that’s not acceptance. As for the house part of the reason I want to fix it is in this condition…it’s a constant reminder of my childhood. Which wasn’t pleasant as you know.

    Lynn D, I apologize for my boldness, I don’t know you or your situation, but if your house is a constant reminder of childhood, is it possible to move? Maybe further healing can take place if you relocate? Again, if I’m out of line, I am sorry. I’m a little confused by this post today as well, but I don’t believe God wants you to continue to be reminded of your childhood and continue to be hurt by it….maybe pray for a new place to live for a fresh start?

    Glad to hear the feisty Lynn spirit again! (wink)
    I have been hearing…”the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy”…waaay to much to not recognize that God is trying to tell me something. For me it is mostly about my job these days. The enemy has been working on me. My emotions and actions. This has been causing me to behave in a way that is unpleasing to me so I can only imagine how sad my Father is feeling about His daughter’s character in the place He has put her to shine her light? He made it so clear about 2 years ago what His plan was for having me in a job I questioned highly about being in.
    This past weekend He went over His plan AGAIN with me and what He needed from me to allow Him to fulfill His will.
    I will share a wonderful lesson He taught me as I walked Herc Sunday morning before church where by the way, that message was repeated again…”the enemy comes…”
    Herc’s dog tags were twisted into the loop that his leash attaches to. I had to struggle to get it clipped in. At the field I took his collar off to “unstick” the tags from the loop as we walked. In my human self I can let something like this cause me to BLOW MY TOP and send the target of my frustration flying in the air! But with breathing exercises and asking God’s help to unstick them I calmly worked at it for half an hour. FINALLY I had enough. Saying out loud…OH COME ON GOD! WHY? WHY CAN’T I GET THIS???
    My last attempt I literally felt in my soul…this is it! God is now working. It was like a controlled, in charge, peaceful maneuver that applied the tags into a strategic position and “pop”….they were FREE!
    I literally fell to my knees laughing because I felt God in it and I was amazed at how He responded as soon as I asked. But I recall thinking in the moment also…you have to BELIEVE when you ask Joanne. God says…”You have not because you ask not. He says, BELIEVE you have already received what you asked for in prayer.”
    The 3 hours later on my ride home from church? I look into the sky to see an E in the clouds? I thought to myself… LOL…THAT IS!!!…UNMISTAKEABLY… an E!???
    What followed next absolutely BLEW ME AWAY! As I type this God is helping me understand it all more COMPLETELY!
    No sooner did I see the E then I saw a B? BE! That spoke to me. But then there were 2 other Es?? and get this. An R!!!! SERIOUSLY?? an R in the CLOUDS?? The last letter I didn’t see clearly. It was more of a flourish. LOL..just realized NOW…flourish starts with the letter I didn’t see clearly! My soul knew by now what the message in the heavens from my Father was.
    BE FREE!
    Something else I just realized is that He showed me this message BACKWARDS?
    I think maybe because I was….free….and now I am going back into strongholds. He cannot fulfill His plan if I go backwards.
    I believe I am close to a breakthrough. Stepping into the plans God has to fulfill His will. Thus the repetitive reminder on how the enemy works.
    p.s. I always say God uses a dog to teach me my life lessons? I laugh at how this time it may not have been the dog directly, but his tags. His medals. Stuck in the loop. I won’t receive my medal if I stay stuck in the loop. Just like the Israelites going around and around and around in circles.
    Sorry. That’s the way my mind works…that’s the way God speaks to me. I wasn’t going to add that thought in closing that “popped” into my head but felt God wanted me to express it for someone?…besides just me.
    I shared recently elsewhere…you know how you hear people tell you…”you can’t read something into EEEEVRYTHING!”
    I am NOW BELIEVING…YES! YES YOU CAN! LOL!!! That is how God speaks to us!
    BELIEVE my Sumite family. SIMPLY BELIEVE. Love you all!!!
    We praise Lord Jesus. Thank You heavenly Father for growing us more each day into the likeness of Your son.
    Amen

    Okay, Lynn, you pushed my buttons this morning when talking about things being stolen from us by the old devil, but how we can recover it all. I challenge the Sumites to read 1 Samuel 1-18. Briefly, the city was burned, women and children were held captives, and on top of that the people blamed David. But, David encouraged himself in the Lord, prayed, and inquired of the Lord what he was to do. The Lord told him to pursue, and when he did, David RECOVERED IT ALL.
    I have had so much stolen from me in every sense of the word. Even had a prophetic word that said: The enemy has sent an assignment of grief to you, not just the normal grief in a loss, but an assignment to destroy you and your family, but it won’t happen. And, I can tell you the losses began to pile up; but I am making declaration here this day in court that I shall recover it all just as David did, and I make a further declaration that my community of Sumites will, too. Let’s go to court!!! Just what I needed to hear this morning to get the fire burning again, and not sitting down and accepting what he meant for evil.

    I have two things.. 26 yrs ago my mom (age 49) died of lung cancer and 2 months later my brother (age 19) died of leukemia. I had them stolen yes!! It is time for restoration for the years they were stolen!!
    The second thing is: about 7 yrs ago now I was gang raped. I was involved in a hit and run. First, they rear ended me, then they didn’t want me to call the police, then they called friends, then they raped me and left. This caused me to buried it deep in my brain, which caused it to come out later in the form of dissociation.. which led to all kinds of issues–fired from my job, debt, and much more. Time and much more were stolen from me! It is time for restoration for those years that were stolen!!!
    The Lord is good! I have a passion and such a hunger for Him. It is a burning fire within me to KNOW Him!!!

    Oh my gosh! This is so awesome! I want my Abba to be my defense lawyer against the enemy. The enemy has stolen so much. He stole my childhood. My father passed away when I was 4 and my mother couldn’t handle it and became an abusive parent (physical, mental, verbal and emotional abuse) my sisters and I grew up with no nurturing or love, just discipline and beatings. The enemy also stole my adolescence, I was so insecure and an introvert. He stole my ability to have children, I have stage 4 endometriosis and had to get my Fallopian tubes removed. We tried invitro but it did not work. And now, the enemy is working on destroying my marriage, my husband is so deceived and blinded by satan, he is in bondage by selfishness, pride and unforgiveness.
    The enemy however, will not take my joy, nor my love for Jesus. Jesus is all I have and and all I need.
    Thank you Abba for your unconditional love for us!

    Oh girl, this just brought me to my knees and to tears! I went to the floor and prayed for Abba to 1.) restore all the lost years and blessings that the curse of depression has take from the women in my family for generations (back to my great grandmother as far as I know), 2.) restore the years Leslie has lost to cancer and depression and 3.) restore all the lost years the spirit of atheism has taken from my husband Mike.
    No more! No more! No More! I’m believing these places are changing and being restored right now, IN THE NAME OF JESUS and I plead the BLOOD of JESUS over every bit of it, including my faith. Amen!

    My health, as a result of the abuse I endured growing up I suffer from chronic pain and hearing loss. For years the enemy has told me that I deserved the abuse and therefore the results as well. God has been cleansing my heart and my mind of these lies and He is showing me that He will repay the years the locusts have stolen and I believe that He does have the power to heal me and free my body from these chains. I know the enemy does not want me freed from these things. (this comment has randomly disappeared several times while I’ve been typing it.) I know he is used to speaking lies to me while I listen closely and absorb every word and own every lie. God has been showing me how much bigger He is than I’ve always believed and He is reshaping my identity in Him and unfolding His astoundingly amazing love for me as I sit in awe with Him. He is giving me joy and freedom in so many areas and I am ready to let go of this false identity of pain and illness that I took on as a child, it does not define me and it has no place in my mind, heart or body. I am not a sick person trying to get well I am a whole person battling an illness that God absolutely has the power to heal me from.
    Look out enemy because my God is bigger than every lie you’ve ever told me and every stronghold you’ve built within me and He is tearing them down one after another after another and covering them in the blood of Jesus, you will not be able to return and rebuild because I belong to Him and He is my Protector, Defender and Daddy and you’ve been messing with His girl for too long!

    Wow, this was right on time for me! Sometimes, when we are under attack we can feel so weak and it’s hard to fight. The enemy has been attacking and stealing so much, especially from the women of God in my life. So, that’s not to give him glory, but instead to put him on notice…No More!!!! Reading this post reminds me to get back up and TAKE AUTHORITY! The enemy has stolen the past couple years from my husband and i in our marriage through the financial/emotional burden of caring for my mother in law. He is attacking my sister’s best friend with the spirit of cancer, where she cannot care for her 2 young children and her husband has shut down. He has stolen the 47 year old son of my friend, who died to soon this past weekend, unexpectedly. He is attempting to steal my friends health and joy with the spirit of depression and nerve damage in her legs. The list can go on and on. As I write this Im just getting more angry and fired up! As you said Dineen, NO MORE!!! I touch and agree with this SUMITE community, in the NAME OF JESUS, these areas are being healed, restored and delivered!! I take back what the devil has stolen and stand in the gap of those Im connected to. I am a POWERFUL Warrior of the Most High God and I declare and degree these things, not because I FEEL strong, but because this is who God SAYS I am and I have this authority thru Him and it is the TRUTH!!! AMEN!

    Your post is both amazing and encouraging, Lynn. “Restore” is God’s word for me this year. Through my husband’s alcoholism, I feel the enemy has robbed me and my husband of a healthy, loving marriage; he has robbed my children of a loving relationship with their earthly daddy and their heavenly papa; he has robbed us all of love and grace for each other. The enemy also prevented our family from being involved with our church family and from serving in the kingdom. I will definitely be petitioning (and believing) the court to have all of this restored – SEVEN FOLD! Expecting huge results in the future! Hugs…

    Lynn, as you know I’m praying for my marriage of almost 30 years to be delivered from the poison of alcohol, unbelief and cruel words. During my walk & pray earlier, asking God for confirmation of His promise that Hubby will accept Christ, I saw an empty beer can partially buried in snow. I believe this is only the beginning. Please keep praying for us. Love you my friend!

    Daddy, right now I can think of nothing in my own life, those hurts: loneliness, w DH, last summer, he has healed and/or restored all.
    But I do think of my brother, who fell away from what was a pretty solid faith, I believe he was led away through ideas in the world… Lies and such, misunderstandings of who God is. Then I think of one of my friends, she has fought hard all her life and still every day is more than a struggle w all that her ex has been putting her through. I would pray for healing and restoration for her Lord.
    Oh, and my best friend, who encountered God but then the enemy snatched it away and she thinks of it all as a dream…

My God is bigger and better and can turn around every attack of the enemy for our good and His glory. There will be restitution in heaven this day.

    Lynette,
    My friend, if we serve a good God who loves us, I absolutely believe He has good and provision for us. What we have lost is because the enemy has stolen our inheritance from us.
    You know as I’m sitting here asking God about your situation, I’m overcome by how God is griveving for your broken heart. And that you are overwhelmed by just too many voices that are distorting who God really is.
    Lord, it’s my earnest prayer for Lynette that she this day is set on a path to clarity, restitution and that the only voice she hears is the voice of your heart. In Jesus name.
    And Father, I will contend for Lynette. I ask that you restore all that the enemy has stolen.. And that not only seven fold but 100 fold… Show her that You are standing even at her very side and have always been. In Jesus name. Amen By the power and provision of the Holy Spirit and the authority of our Jesus. Turn the corner in her life. Let her praises ROCK the heavinlies as you begin this restoration in her. AMEN

    Girl, You also know what I love about you? That God’s love language is so personal and intimate with you that He speaks through the dogs of your life… and well, also clouds and a few other things. But this one area is a special and intimate way that God loves on you. I’m so glad you share your experiences with all of us.
    And also, I have been praying for you with a relentlessness covering you. I am walking arm n arm with you through this.
    Jesus, I ask for your supernatural healing and wholeness. I’m asking for redemption and more. Lord, anoint Jo with a special gift. That gift that she uses to impact the world around her. I hear you calling her into more. More hunger and to be a Dread Champion with me. In Jesus name. Amen.

    Let’s ROCK the courts of heaven. AND I love this passage. It’s really an interesting aspect besides that David recovered everything. AMEN,
    But I heard a teaching on this by Bill Johnson once and it’s especially good for those of us leading ministry… And I think that includes every SUMite because we are doing ministry 24/7 in our own homes.
    What is important about this is…. David encouraged himself….
    Sometimes there is no one to encourage us. In this passage David’s own men wanted to kill him. Say what???? It’s wild. But David is so secure in his idenity in God that he encouraged himself. Oh how we need to do this as well.
    Lord Jesus,
    I love Miracle Martha as well. So very much. I’m declaring.. Standing with her for all that has stolen from her life by the enemy. I ask now… I petition and stand with her, asking for angels to be sent from heaven to restore. I ask you to profoundly bless her ministry. That she restores to others all that was stolen from her. TIMES SEVEN… Times one hundred fold.
    Lord, anoint her with supernatural gifts that bring healing, hope and mostly your Son and His love to especially children.. But all that she comes in contact with. I also declare such a heart change in her husband that the world is in AWE of You, Papa. In Jesus name the powerful one. AMEN

    I read this early this morning and a righteous indignation and anger rose up in me that was ferocious. I went on my walk n pray and girl, I spoke such restitution and redemption into the heavinlies that I’m convinced legions of God’s angels were dispatched and they are on there way to set all things back TIMES SEVEN…..
    I’m grieved all this happened to you. Indeed the enemy crossed a line that you did not know how to defend. BUT NOW….. You are now anointed a Dread Champion and girl, we declare all is restored. You will touch lives and within your beautiful touch people will receive the love of God. Jesus shines forth from your eyes and you will see miracles. You will be part of miracles for others.
    Your love for Christ will grow and grow. You walk in this world and light shines from you and it scares the enemy. I declare you are championed by Jesus Himself. Your praises will rise and it stirs the very heart of God.
    Sing for because God has seen your suffering. He is listening to your petitions and the angels are roaring to work for you.

    I’m so angry that the devil stole your innocence. I declare that every tear every shed and for the fear that birthed in Carmen’s heart. I now declare it redeemed. I declare that all that was taken will be be restored.
    Jesus you have a lifetime now to redeem, restore and love on this child. Lord rise up in her with a fierce anger to protect others as she will see them and just know. She will see the children and know what is happening. Give her Holy Spirit Words of Knowledge and intution to know how to pray. To see justice and to find her peace because she is helping others.
    Lord, for the little girl who lost her dad at Four. I ask not just seven time repayment but 100 fold. Give her more, more, more.. Fillher with a Holy Fire and a hunger to have more and more of you.
    I see her rising and walking on clouds of glory. Her story of redemption silences the enemy and she will SING….

    Neen,
    I STORMED heaven for you this morning. I declared the blood of Christ over just about everyone and everything.
    There is a wave coming. A giant wave and girl, you will be riding high. I see the lightning….
    Luke 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
    Lookout devil because I see the lightning coming…. Behold this woman will rise and many will find faith and healing because of all she suffered for Me.
    I love you Dineen Miller.

    The enemy has stolen my marriage, “family”, story term happiness, my daughter’s time with her father, my daughter’s self esteem, my time with my daughter, time that I should have had with my husband and daughter. Through our Father God, I have found happiness in Him who is truly all I need. He will restore my home, family, marriage, lost time for my daughter and her father, her self esteem and all of our joy! I want for God to use me in any way that he wants but it would be nice if I could do something for others that are sitting in my position. I declare that God will restore all of this and more to us! The Bowen Family! I declare that The Bowen’s are being raised up in Christ and will live to serve our Father in all that we do! My God is is enough, my God is strong enough to handle any storm in my life! We are a mighty family of God! In Jesus’ mighty mighty name! Amen!!!!

    Lord, I honor you and honor Stone. She is beloved of you. She will shine brighter and brighter through each recovered tear.
    Rise Stone now into your new anointing of love and gifts. God has much for you. So much. I can’t wait to see it all unfold for you.

    The enemy stole my sister’s life 3 years ago (next week) from me and my children, & her children. Two years ago (next month) the enemy stole the life of my oldest daughter’s father. My husband, our marriage, and our family were also stolen 2 years ago. My children have all had time with loved ones taken from them by the enemy. The enemy has been working hard to destroy my family and my parents’ families for a long time, with depression, alcoholism, gambling, and adultery. I’m demanding back 70 times 7 all that the enemy has taken from my family!

    My heart hurts for you and what injury the enemy has brought you. Romans 8:28 has helped me through my deepest pain of finding out my 14 year old was raped, beaten& chocked. He only served 1 year in prison! She has looked to drugs, cutting sucicide and many other things to heal the pain. Both her and my husband have walked away from God because of it. I am lifting you up with my daughter for healing!

He has stolen my daughter’s carefreeness of life! He has brought pain to her life that is consuming her and that scares me and breaks my heart! She has had such a powerful faith in God from a very young age and now it is being tested. I am praying that he gives back 7 teens the enjoyment of life. Teens are struggling with so much today and I know he is behind it! Thank you for showing me how I can “karate chop ” him with my prayers ! And please everyone pray for my precious daughter !

It’s the children like your daughter who hold His light and that is so desperately needed to shine into the dark souls to show them the way. I pray she is strengthened with other believers and feels God’s power flowing through those who connect, link together, strengthen, encourage one another for this extremely hard walk on the narrow road. I pray Lord Jesus that Carolyn’s daughter will hear Your whisper today. Let Your whisper be felt as a kiss on her cheek that restores her soul. In Your mighty and powerful name I praise You Jesus.

    Lynn…..reading this post and the comments left so far has me shaking. I never thought of the loses in my life as things satan himself had STOLEN from me!! I spent so many years being angry with God for letting it happen that I didn’t see where the blame really should be!!! When I was 7 years old my Mom died. At the age of 8 years old my sister’s husband started molesting me….and that went on for the next 8 years of my life until I the night he started slipping me alcohol and tried to rape me. My sister knew about what her husband was doing to me and she protected HIM instead of me. There were drugs and alcohol done from a very young age to numb all of this. I was bullied as a child too so school wasn’t even a place that I could escape my life. And ladies that is just my childhood. I won’t bore you with the rest…..but you ask what satan has taken away from me??? I will answer with MY LIFE. There is SO much more to my story that I won’t write here because it would just be too much…..and many of you will think that saying satan stole my life is an exaggeration…..but it isn’t for me. Is Jesus restoring my life? I have to believe He is…..I struggle with believing it some days…..because I can’t get back what satan has stolen…..I can’t get back my innocence…..my childhood…..my mom…..and just so many other things. Does this make me angry?? YES. I just have to remember that JESUS GAVE ME ETERNAL LIFE with Him in Heaven after THIS life is over. Again….some days I have a hard time remembering that….but I am working on it.

    What a powerful post, Lynn! I had not been by in awhile and this post was the first thing I needed to see today. Thank you. The enemy knows how to use my weaknesses against me. I live in fear. I know that God does not give us a spirit of fear but I can never seem to grab hold of God’s Spirit. I am psychologically, emotionally and spiritually broken. Also, my husband remains an unbeliever and now I sense my sons also falling away. I’m in the midst of battling for the very heart and soul of my teen against peer pressure and a Godless culture. The enemy’s tactics are insidious, using even schools to introduce our kids to carnal things cloaked as “knowledge” that strip our kids of their innocence and attempt to ensnare them early in a lifestyle of sin. A long time ago, Lynn, you wrote a post about considering whether the things we have in our homes invite the enemy or the Holy Spirit. I’ve been fighting that battle alone in my household to keep this a place where the enemy knows he’s not welcome and to make this a place the Spirit would want to dwell and work within. But I feel like I’m losing…losing to TV’s sex comedies, Godless video games with engaging high-tech graphics, the pressure on our kids to have girlfriends, all of it. I feel like I have no power up against the enemy who’s infiltrated not only our home but my son’s school. I feel like the only one attempting to stand against it but I’m failing…and tired. The enemy wants my husband and family for himself and, Lynn, I hereby stand in The High Court of the Almighty God beside you and declare The enemy can’t have them, and I cry out to our God to KICK the enemy’s butt out of my home and my son’s school IN THE NAME OF JESUS! I pray God will convict my husband and bring him to repentance and salvation in Christ and that my sons will put on their armor of God and take up their Shields of Faith and Swords of Truth and STAND FIRM. I’m calling on God to reclaim my family for HIM and for His Justice on the enemy and those who act at his behest to steal and destroy. I declare this in the Mighty Name of Christ and by Power of The Holy Spirit Who dwells here on this blog among my sisters and brothers in Christ.

    this is a powerful time in many SUMite families, so much pain that needs to be healed & we are in the right place & right time..Lord be the restorer of our dependence on you for everything.
    Our family has had so much stolen from it through my husbands addictions, alcohol,porn,gambling,depression,low self-esteem,hoarding.. is currently what I`m dealing with he has temporarily stopped drinking – to fill the void he is now shopping at the $ store, help Lord our house is full already. He has taken over all the basement over the years & it has now moved up to the living room. I so need prayer for this God help me restore my home to a place where I can have my friends in.
    I pray 10 fold restoration financially to this family of stuff that has been stolen and damaged through vandalism over the years.
    I pray that the Godly spirit that my youngest son use to enjoy when he was on the worship team would be restored to him the enemy has been invading his life for the past years & has stolen his peace & belief in God. I pray against the depression & desire for unGodly things would come to a end and he would put God first in his life again.
    My computer is really acting up so better post this in spite of the enemies attacks.

Are not allowed to steal what is rightfuly mine or my families, or my daughters, or my husbands, or my sisters or brothers!!!!

I demand restitution for what was stolen from my children. It ends here. This is not a cycle that will be repeated with them.

    Teresa, I share the same pain. Sometimes the grief for the children I never held is as palatable as if they were literally ripped from my arms. I, too, now have been blessed with a beautiful God daughter that I love irrationally. But, at times the sweetness of holding her makes it so clear what I missed out on. I don’t know if any of this makes sense. It is something I have never spoken aloud. One of the lies I have believed for too long is that I wasn’t good enough to be trusted with my own child. I do accept responsibility for bad choices I made as a young woman but I want restoration for the year9s I have felt unworthy, incomplete and not good enough. I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT IS NOT WHO I AM IN CHRIST. I am His Beloved, His chosen one, loved beyond all measure. I want restoration of the years I lived believing the lies. I want Satan to be sorry he ever messed with this Texas woman. I want my Daddy to kick him back to the deepest pit of hell! And I want all the joy he has stolen from me back and I want young women in my life to not be victims of these same lies.
    Just read this back and can’t believe I am writing these words for all to see but maybe it is a part of letting go of it all. Teresa, until I read your comment this was not what I thought I would seek restoration for. Thank you for posting. Obviously it opened up a place I had sealed off.

    Kim, You are not fighting alone. We, your Summits sisters, are standing right beside you. We are praying that God’s angels will stand guard around your home and that the arrows of the enemy would be deflected and destroyed. Lord, we declare in the Holy name of Jesus, the enemy cannot have Kim’s husband or any member of her family. Restore to her sevenfold all that has been stolen. No more, no more no more Satan! By the power of the blood of Jesus Christ we are redeemed and restored! Amen

    Thank You Lord that Celia who questions whether she should share or not and even questions her eloquent style of writing is now pushing satan aside to speak up. You know each of us and the life story we have reaches another’s ears in a mighty and powerful way to lift them up and begin a healing process in them as we ourselves become stronger in Your arms. Continue to walk closely Lord Jesus with our sister at this time when the enemy comes back in an attempt to pull her away with life circumstances. She’s on our tug of war team at the front lines now and we will NOT let her go face first into the pit Lord God. As he tugs the rope closer we who have Christ in us will keep pulling her back with us in prayer so Your Presence will be literally FELT holding her STRONG in place. Thank You Jesus! In Your wonderful, Glorious name we praise You. Amen
    Celia. I know you probably struggled once again to share your story but can I say…you made God smile by doing so. You are a broken vessel. We ALL are broken vessels but just now I saw you as that with LIGHT BEAMING OUT of ALL YOUR CRACKS!
    YOU GO GURL! KICK BUTT! Sorry. Just FEELS like the appropriate word. (wink)
    LOVE YOU DEARLY CEE!

    Heck, yeah, sister! Great image! I’m a pretty big girl. Put me on that tug of war team. With our Daddy as our anchor man we can kick butt in every household in the Summite nation and beyond. Sign me up -I’m enlisting in the Summite Butt Kicking Army! A BKA soldier not a victim! WooooHoooo, Lynn, you have stirred something up with this post. I see an army on our knees, wearing the Full Armor, with fists raised taking back what was stolen from us. (I’m going to rein back a little since I just had a glimpse of myself dressed as a female pirate! Teeheehee!I must remember my word(s) for 2014- Be Still!)

    Celia,
    My sweet sister in Christ. I am overwhelmed at all that the enemy has taken from your life. And I am standing with you. I am contending with you for all to be restored and redeemed! Seven fold!
    I have read through this several times and I have grieve for you. I see that little girl frightened and unprotected and I want to just storm the gates of heaven and to kick the devil’s but into the pit of hell for you.
    What I also read in this is that you feel that God abandoned you didn’t protect you. As a child. That was not true. You were unprotected by those God gave to protect you. And the devil came in and destroyed everyone. So in your future now I’m asking God to restore and give you such great gifts that feels like those losses in your life are a distant memory. I’m asking for everything to be restored and that your children your daughters will reap the benefit of the fight that you are putting up against the enemy.
    Lord Jesus today I ask you to start to redeem and restore all that was stolen from Celia. Lord I’m asking that she would not doubt that you will make all of this right. I want you to assure her that she will see her mother again in heaven. And that you are a God of justice and that you will bring justice in her life. I ask for all the pain in the tears of her childhood that you would restore to her life in freedom, love, joy, and happiness. That you will give her all and more times seven. In Jesus name.
    Let the name of Jesus now reign with power in the life of Celia and her family. In Jesus name. Amen

    Hi Kim,
    Girl I moved to storm heaven for you as well. I’m asking God to fill you with such power and authority of the Holy Spirit, that you begin to rebuke all the evil you are fighting in your home.
    Lord Jesus, I stand with Kim and I contend for her family for her husband. For her sons and I fight against the evil that is coming into their home. Lord I ask that you would release a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit into Kim’s heart. That you would give her wisdom, fire in her belly, and the power that comes from your thrown to fight against the devil and all he is trying to steal. Lord this hour show Kim that you are in her home and fighting the battle with her. Remove from her this spirit of fear. I rebuke this fear from Kim’s heart in Jesus name. Give her a new boldness let her be a firestarter in Jesus name. I ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen

    GeGe,
    I am also contending for you and your family. I grieved and also ticked off at all the enemy has taken from you. So as of this hour I declare no more ground can be taken by the devil. That your home now stands under the protection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    I ask that the Lord would immediately begin to move in the heart of your husband and your son. I ask for provision and finances to be restored 100 fold. In Jesus name. Amen.
    Lord were praising you for all that you’re doing in this home. Amen

We are making the devil mad with such prayer support and that makes me SMILE!! 🙂 Love you!

    I too am feeling very strongly that Celia will be ministering to many. She herself said she envisioned herself standing in front of many, preaching. The enemy knows God has a plan for her and how many she will reach. That’s why he keeps hammering at her.

    Teresa, I think you may be right. Maybe this deep sorrow makes me more compassionate. Isn’t it amazing how God can take a negative and use it for His purposes? It helps me to think of it in that light. 2 Corinthians 12:9 “…So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”

    Hi Lynette, it might help you to know that when I go into someone else’s home I feel honored that they have chosen to invite me. I don’t go to criticize their housekeeping, their home decorating, or their gadgets. If I am in their house, it means that I know and love them for things other than what they have in their home. I am sure your friends would feel the same way. The devil may be playing on your insecurities to keep you distanced from people who love you.
    I was embarrassed to invite friends over due to the state of my family’s house. I think that I lost a lot of good hours of friendship and fellowship over this and I regret it. Now that I have my own home, I repeat to myself “they love me and are not here to criticize me” whenever I feel insecure about the fact I’m no Martha Stewart, Mrs Clean or whatever. It works!!
    May God give you a double helping of blessing and peace!

    Ack! My post disappeared! I posted on the 18th and now it’s gone 🙁
    I don’t remember exactly what I wrote, but I know I said that the enemy stole my marriage. The enemy stole my children’s relationship with a loving earthly father. While I no longer want that relationship back (it’s detrimental to the health of my children and myself), I want the enemy to pay seven-fold for destroying my family through abuse, adultery, addiction, p*rn*graphy, and lies.
    I also want restoration: I want my ex’s conversion. I want a loving earthly father for my children. I want a real marriage for myself. The enemy stole these things from me and I want them back. And my Heavenly Father is the One who can do it for me, and my children.

    Oh, Lynn, thank you so much for your prayer for me and my family. Between your’s and Bev’s I have tears running down my face. Since I posted it seems the enemy has turned up the heat against us…its as if I can feel his power against me and I feel very threatened. I thank you for standing before The Lord on my behalf and for your mighty prayer. I pray The Holy Spirit intervene NOW as I repeat my declaration before The Lord the enemy cannot have us and I praise Jesus Who holds us in the palm of His Nail-Scarred Hand. I love you, Lynn, and pray the same for you and your beloved family.

    Lynette, God does care for your happiness, even those of material things. Psalms 37:4, ‘Delight thyself also in the Lord: and He shall GIVE thee the DESIRES of your heart.’ vs 5, ‘Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He SHALL bring it to pass.’
    Psalms 37 is a wonderful chapter. It lets me kmow & understand my obligation & lets me know His obligation. God is not about confusion…but gives us a sound mind, power & love!
    God knows your hearts desire, He also wants us to tell Him what we desire. He desires to do us good & not harm.
    Praying for you my sister to be lifted up, strengthened, guidance & gain understanding thru His word. Hold on and know you are not on this journey alone.
