A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

PRAYER ARMOR In Chapter 3, I taught how we must be arrayed in our spiritual armor for daily life. (Review this portion in Chapter 3.) But this is the armor that we must also be arrayed in before entering the prayer life. Paul describes our armor in Ephesians 6:13-17, and then in the very next verse instructs us, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” (Ephesians 6:18). After listing our armor, he instructs us to pray for all saints; so, this armor is for our prayer life as well as for our daily life – it is prayer armor.

PRAYING FOR THE LOST When in a service where an altar call is given, there may be times that you sense such a burden of sin that you might think you need to answer the altar call yourself. But at those times, you are sensing the spiritual condition of a lost person. It can seem as though the burden of another person’s sin is on your own conscience; you should simply pray quietly in other tongues until the burden lifts. If praying quietly is difficult, then go to a place where you can be alone to pray so that those around you won’t be disturbed.

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

Thirdly, Luke 9:23 declares that God's will is for us to "follow Him." So, what does it mean to follow Him? John 10:27 gives us the answer: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." Following God means that we are to listen to His voice, and only His voice, and then go where He leads.

Mrs Carol Hopson-Trusting God in Troubled Times

Tearfully I read and reread this portion of God's Word. Was I willing to "take a towel" and humble myself and go to my friend and seek to restore the friendship, even if I wasn't at fault? After praying over this, I gave her a call, and she agreed to meet with me. Let me just tell you that I was a little anxious and not at all sure how I could get through this. But I needed to do what God's Word had convicted me to do, and so I went in and met with her. All of my worries and fears fled when I saw her tear-stained face, and I reached out to embrace her. The healing had already begun by the simple act of "taking up my cross" and seeking to honor the Lord with my attitude and actions.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

If I train them in His Word, when unfairness befalls them they may become angry but they will not resort to violence. They will get sad but it will not grow into depression. They will be hurt but it will not breed hostility and vengeance because they have been taught that goodness triumphs over evil. They will start to become the sons of their Father who is in heaven. I must train them to discern what is good and evil, what is genuine and counterfeit, and then to prefer the good to the evil.

I must teach them that the Word of God is true, so turning the other cheek is not a weakness but gives them the greatest power of all. They can turn their enemy into a friend. Anyone can aggravate and antagonize their enemy, but I teach them how to have the power to turn an enemy into a friend. I also teach them that God in heaven is for justice, so when an injustice is perpetrated against them, they will be taught not to respond in fury and hostility because they know that their God is the avenger of the oppressed.

A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

Under that spirit of prayer, sometimes I sense groanings and even weeping rise up from my spirit, so I will groan until that lifts. Still other times, I have a strong urge to pray in other tongues, so I speak those utterances out. Groanings and tongues will flow together, moving from one to the other. Yield to how the Spirit is leading you until that urge or burden lifts. There have been times that I have sensed these things rise up within me for only a moment or for a longer period of time. I would yield to these leadings of the Spirit until the burden lifted. Groaning or travailing in the Spirit, is directed toward God, not the enemy, so realize that you’re conducting business with God.

GROANINGS AND TRAVAIL Romans 8:26 tells us, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself (Himself) maketh intercession for us with GROANINGS which cannot be uttered.” Paul also stated in Galatians 4:19, “My little children, of whom I TRAVAIL in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” As a woman will groan and travail while in childbirth, you may experience like things while praying for another.

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

I remember a time when a very dear friend had hurt me deeply, and I didn't understand why. She had turned on me for seemingly no reason and had pulled away without even a phone call. Now, I cherish my friends and work hard at being a good friend and being there for them, especially in the hard times. So this was really hard for me to accept, and it became an emotional cross that I was bearing daily because it left such a void in my life. After suffering for weeks, I went to God's Word and He brought me to the passage in John 13:1- 5 where Jesus is about to wash the disciples' feet. I was struck first by the words in verse 1: "He loved them to the end." Even knowing of Judas' betrayal, He still loved him. And then as an act of humility and obedience to His Father, He took a towel and washed the disciples' feet.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

Stage Two: Five to Eleven At this age children need to belong in the family, receive parental approval, master the basic skills of life, and learn to function with others. I want them to be loved and welcomed in their friends’ homes, and I want them to be likeable to others. So, I am going to train them to say “please,” “thank you,” and “forgive me.” I am going to teach them to share their toys [which they never want to do], and teach them to give their front seat to a brother or a friend [this is their first taste of unselfish love]. Scripture tell us, “If a man wants friends, he must show himself friendly.” So, I am going to teach and train them to be friendly, to have manners, politeness, and cleanliness.

This is also the stage where little Johnny or Debra begins to learn self-control, which, at this stage, I define as obedience without understanding. Whether they understand or not, they cannot touch the stove! Whether they understand it or not, they cannot go out into the street, hit their mom, or talk back. I’ll always explain the good reasons why I make the demands I do, but my children must obey even if they do not understand or agree with my explanations. If you are lenient and permissive here, then their will is only going to grow stronger, and selfcontrol will be harder and more costly in the next stage.

While praying, don’t try to mentally figure out or mentally process these things you sense, and don’t put your own interpretation on them, for they are spiritually discerned. We won’t always know who we’re praying for or what we’re praying about, for we don’t always need to know. If we need to know, God will tell us; otherwise, we’re to leave it with Him. We are to just yield to the Spirit as He leads us. Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

KEEN IN DISCERNMENT How do you know whether the enemy is attacking your mind while praying or whether you are just sensing the condition of another? If the enemy is attacking your mind, the thoughts are coming against your mind from the outside. As you cast them down, quenching them with the shield of faith in God’s Word, those thoughts will be overcome. If you are sensing the condition of another, that which you are sensing is rising up from within your spirit, and what you are sensing will continue; pray until that burden lifts. By quieting your mind and focusing on your spirit, you will be more keen in your discernment, and you’ll be able to discern when you are sensing someone else’s condition.

The second thing we see in Luke 9:23 is that we are to "take up our cross daily." This does not mean that we are to carry our burdens; it means that we are to accept our cir- cumstances as part of God's plan for us and then seek to glorify Him in how we handle them. To take up our cross daily is to take what life brings, and God allows, and seek to use it for God's glory. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16, NKJV).

As a first priority, give them stability and regularity. After you are steadily doing that, only then do you begin to fill up your life with all those other things the world says you have to have. If you are a single mom, someone will need to take care of your child while you work to provide a living for him. Even in this situation, always strive to give the child as much stability as possible. Studies prove that a home atmosphere where one adult is caring for a small group of children produces the strongest children.

Stage One: Zero Through Four Years The first stage of growth is zero to four years when they are just learning to bond. In this stage, they need stability and regularity in their lives. They need to be hugged and loved by Hoffman_Hoffman.qxd 2/1/2011 10:34 AM Page 186 the same people on a regular basis. The best stability grows when they know who is going to watch over them, day in and day out.

A Sound Disciplined Mind-Mrs Nancy Dufresne

Sometimes, during the day, my mind seems to become distracted and I find it difficult to concentrate on the task at hand; at those times I begin to pray, for either God wants to speak to me, or I am to pray for someone else or about something. I don’t focus on the mental arena to try and figure out what I’m sensing, but I quiet my mind; I focus on my spirit and begin to pray in the spirit, in other tongues. If I am to pray for someone else or about something, a spirit of prayer will begin to move within me. I continue to pray in other tongues until the burden of prayer lifts. At times, when praying for someone who is facing a physical condition, or is under mental pressure or heaviness, you may sense their need. It may seem in the spirit as though their condition is upon your own body or mind, but physically or literally it is not so; again, you are sensing their need in the spirit. Continue to pray in the spirit until you sense that burden lift. Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Trusting God in Troubled Times-Mrs Carol Hopson

If living for God (denying self): You'll say, "It's not my choice, but I'll trust God with it." You'll decide, "I need to see what verses might help me through this." You'll ask, "I wonder how I can grow to be more like Christ through this?" You'll then pray, "Dear God, please use this situation for Your glory!" Can you see the difference it makes when we are willing to say no to self and yes to God…no matter what? "I delight to do Your will, O my God" (Psalm 40:8, NKJV).

First of all, to know God's will we must deny self! Yikes! That's definitely not popular to say these days! This means that we need to renounce self as the center of our life and actions and realize that life is not about me but about how I can reveal and reflect God to those around me. In my book The Journey From Feelings to Faith, I've included a personal checkup to see if you're living for self or for God. So, when difficulties, trials, or changed plans come… If living for self (denying God): You'll ask, "Why is this happening to me? It's so unfair." You'll despair that "This isn't what I want and I don't like it." You'll decide that "I guess God's plan doesn't work for me." You'll lose hope and become angry, bitter, and discontent.

Well, the boy didn’t get a handful of candy that day, but within two weeks he had completely stopped saying “Liar,” and to my knowledge, does not say it anymore. He learned selfcontrol, which is much better than me nagging him. If I love and fear God, His Word must be written on the heart of my kids. They must be trained in self-control, a different task for each of the four basic stages of growth. Let me share in a bit of detail how each stage requires a different approach.

Divine compassion feels as another feels. That’s why we may actually sense the condition or needs of another. When we enter into that divine compassion, there will be deliverance.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD'S WILL? If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. -Luke 9:23 It seems that one of the most common things I hear from women when speaking or counseling is, "If only I knew what God wanted me to do!" Some have even said, "I wish He'd just write me a letter and tell me!" I always reply, "Guess what; He did write you that letter." And then I take them to this verse in Luke 9:23. Often it's not what they want to hear, but let me share how it helps us to know God's will in any situation.

That was the start of some self-control. Then I thought I would make it worth his while to catch himself, since it was not working for me to catch him.

PRAYING FOR OTHERS As you spend time praying in the Spirit, in other tongues, you may begin to sense the condition or needs of others; this can seem so real to you that you might think that what you are sensing actually pertains to you, but you are really sensing the condition or need of another. (If you don’t understand this, the enemy may try to tell you that something is wrong with you; he may try to make you unsettled or fearful that what you are sensing is something pertaining to you, when it pertains to another. The enemy is trying to distract you out of faith, and from your spirit and into the mental arena, but stay in the spirit arena.) When you do sense the condition or the need of another, just continue to pray in the Spirit until it lifts. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, we see His compassion for the people. He was moved with compassion for the sick and for those in need; His compassion brought deliverance (Matt. 14:14, Matt. 15:32, Matt. 20:34).

CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS When you pray in other tongues, the words come up from your spirit, not from your mind. Since speaking in other tongues bypasses and doesn’t involve the mind, one of the enemy’s strategies is to seek to distract your mind with all kinds of thoughts while praying, but cast them down. While praying in other tongues, quiet your mind and focus on your spirit. As you do, you will become more spirit conscious and will more clearly perceive the leading of the Spirit of God.

If you're living in fear, stop and ask yourself the following: What is the worst thing that can happen? Do I believe that God will still be in control if that happens?

Fear of the Lord-Pastor Dave Hoffman

As I was in the kitchen asking myself these questions, I heard this child in the other room calling his fellow cherubs “liars.” When I called this to his attention, he said he did not even know he was doing it. So I encouraged him to “Stop saying that.” A few minutes later I again said, “Stop saying that.” Then, a few minutes later I thought, “This isn’t working. Unless he wants to stop this, it is an exercise in futility.” Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

One day my kids were playing with some neighbors, and one of their friends kept using antagonistic words likely to start a fight. 1] I saw and heard these unkind words. 2] What did I want to see?

Mrs, Nancy Dufresne-A Sound Disciplined Mind

The enemy will send all kinds of thoughts, including accusing thoughts – thoughts that accuse you with your past, your sins, your faults or failures. He does this to try to weaken your stand of faith; he’s trying to hold you in the mental arena and out of the spirit arena, which is the arena of faith. To stay in the arena of faith, a disciplined mind is necessary. You must cast down imaginations and thoughts that aren’t in line with God’s Word answering every thought with the Word of God (II Corinthians 10:5), and then his attempts against you will be unsuccessful. Never back down from moving with God in prayer, but take with you to prayer an accurate and clear understanding of the Word of God; judge all things in the light of His Word.

Mrs Carol Hopson-Trusting God in Troubled Times

This I recall to mind, therefore I have hope, the LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness. -Lamentations 3:21-23 As I let go of the worst that could happen and trusted God with it, He removed all my fear and replaced it with His peace. "I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears" (Psalm 34:4). Satan had nothing left to work with, so my heart was truly at peace. And it stayed that way during the whole three weeks he was gone. Are you a Christian authorlooking for a quality publisher that offers over 25 years of experience and expertise?

Next, train them up in self-control. You can train them in two very different ways: 1] you can nag them, or 2] teach them to control themselves. Most would agree that it is better to opt for teaching children to control themselves, but how do you do that? Well, to answer that, I need to have you answer four questions: 1] What do you do when you see a character fault in your child? 2] What character do you want to see? 3] How do you discourage what you do not want to see? 4] How do you encourage what you want to see?
