I am new to the GDW Ministry family, but my spirit has been pulled to this site many times as I've been seeking other like-minded christians to with and for. Praise GOD for placing his mighty hand over my life and the the lives of my children. Pray for me as I write....

I am a single mother engage to be married soon to a very strong christian man. I thank GOD everyday for answerign my prayers in bringing a "Godly" man into my life that loves the Lord with all his heart! Well, I have 3 children ranging in ages from 16 to 11. My eldest son, lives with me and he is autistic (Aspbergers). I also have two younger children that live with their father. Presently the father of my two younger children have full legal and physical custody of the children and has been since 2001. My babies were young when they left me because I made the decision to let them go because I could not handle raising them and their older brother because he had so many demanding health issues. It seemed (at the time) that he was admited to the hospital more with a rare condition that affect his digestive system more time than I can count. The incidents ranged from choking to constant vomiting. Now thinking back, I believe my children and I were under constant spiritual attacks; the doors were open to them because of my outight disobedience to the Lord. The move for the two younger children was to be on a temporary basis, but underneath my nose the father was encouraged to gain full custody of my babies. I was devastated and the news of this courts decision almost took me over the edge.

For 7 years I have had to deal with this loss and even worse I have had to deal with being a PT parent with limited visitation. Since their departure, I have given my life over to the Lord totally - I am now truly the Lord's bondservant. My eldest son has also been baptised and has vowed to serve the Lord faithfully as well. We were both baptized on the same day together and ever since that day our lives have been changed and placed in order thru faith and sheer obedience to GOD. Glory be to GOD for saving us. My older son no longer has the severe medical condition upon our total submission to the Lord; he has been healed. At the age of 12 my son under went a major surgery that I am totally convinced that GOD placed his mighty hands all over. The doctor's were given much wisdom and care concerning my son's life and were successful in operating on my son to turn his digestive disorder in a positive direction (Praise GOD for healing!) He (my older son) desires to have a better connection/relationship with his younger siblings, but as time goes on it get harder and harder to do. As a family we are torn and my constant prayer to GOD is to redeem our family and bring us back together - GOD gave me a word in my spirit and to my church family that the time was now for the children to return to me to be raised up RIGHTEOUSLY and Faithfully in Him. They attend services with their father who is now married, but what I see is that he and his wife have no desire to KNOW the Lord or live by GOD's law. It seems to be just show and tell outwardly for man and the courts.

One thing GOD brought to me is that there is only a small window of opportunity he will give me to file the proper court documentation and totally submit to his will in order to bring me a good lawyer and ultimately release the children back over to me with Full bodily and legal custody. GOD has prompted me to fast for 21 days and so far I have completed 7 days because what is in need of change in the "natural" must be dealt with by Him in the supernatural realms. GOD has also brought fortha Word to my spirit that the children are siritually in danger and must be removed from their father's home before it is too late. Not to my surprise, the spiritual attacks have been intense and the father now has refused on many occassion to let me see or visit with the kids on the days and hours stipulated by the courts. It is heart breaking for the children and for me and my older son. We pray to be reunited with the children soon.

Please pray for my two younger children to be returned permanently with me and their brother.

"Lord GOD, I pray in the Holy spirit that thru my obedience and faith in you that you will bring this situation to Life in my favor. Lead and direct my steps, dear Lord and be merciful to those who doubt! I pray for favor and grace of the courts to see that I am a good mother that wishes to raise up her children in a good christian home with christ-centered values that honors and glorifies you, dear Lord. I pray that you clear the path and soften the hearts of their father and step mother and to stop playing the mind games and acts of cruelty towards me. Please release me from any shame, discourgement and feelings of being trapped. Release me Lord and bind and cast out the wicked, evil forces attemping the trip me up and push me farther away from you.

I command Satan and his Demons to get behind me in Jesus Holy name. I repent and surrender all to you Lord in Jesus name to save the lives of my children."

Please retreat to your Prayer Closets for me and my family. If anyone out there has any other information to assist, then by all means post your replies. I thank you all kindly and pass along "hessid love" to you all. GOD bless & have a wonderful day.

Dear Sister in Christ, my prayer for you is that the Father's Will be done in the return of your children. Just know that God causes all things to work together for our good. We may not see the good, but ALL things are working together for our good. A child who has a loving mother such as yourself is blessed. A child who has a loving FATHER is blessed. Your children are doubly blessed! Rest in the assurance that God knows what is best and if it is HIS will, that 'window' of opportunity will remain open! Pray for their father, it's not easy raising children these days and I am sure he is praying for you! You have the hardest task with your eldest child! God knows what's best for us.
