Transformed Moms: THIS WARRIOR IS A CHILD... PRAYING FOR MALE SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP...

It is GOD who BLESSES and TRANSFORMS...

This is a blog for women (not just moms) who:

(1) Desire to be transformed by JESUS' LOVE, HOLINESS, AND GRACE;

(2) Believe that GOD'S WORD is the true Spirit food for HIS HOLY SPIRIT who lives within us;

(3) Submit to GOD and walk this journey of life with HIM transforming us more and more into HIS likeness.

It's a blog about the POWER OF TRANSFORMED LIVES. Let's begin with yours and mine and pass it on... 1 + 1 + 1...

Since GOD's HOLY SPIRIT lives inside a christian, let's choose to be nurtured and transformed by feasting daily on HOLY SPIRIT food - GOD's WORD - The Holy Bible..

My regular posts stopped in 2013, with a major move and the chronic illness and eventual death of our oldest daughter. Yes, we grieve daily, yet I am determined to continue to let the LIGHT of my LORD and SAVIOR shine through me. I have tried to start posting again, over the last few years, but have not been consistent. So, I think the biggest blessing for you and me both will be to intersperse some new posts while revisiting some of the former posts. Let's begin with "Oh, the JOY!" as we head into living through Fall 2019; meeting back here 1-2 days a week.

If you need daily encouragement, you will find plenty by clicky on past posts. When reading earlier posts, you will see that I often posted daily, following this format: ...Sunday in the SON, Meditation Monday, GratiTuesday, Women in the WORD Wednesday, Transforming Thursday, Family Fellowship Friday, Ketchup & Mustard Saturday.

There's a whole lot here! Take your time to browse.

Please come back and visit each week. Welcome!

Because of JESUS, we can be family,

Patti

THIS WARRIOR IS A CHILD... PRAYING FOR MALE SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP...

Many of you have come here over the last week to see what I would post new about Chip Bloecher. Every Friday, my post follows the theme of the framed print above, by Cindy Grubb, as we celebrate FAMILY FELLOWSHIP FRIDAY. Chip and Lisa are not my children, but we are family because of Jesus! Hope is not my grandchild, but we are family because of Jesus!

Today, I am asking you, transformed mommies, to pull aside the men in your life and have them consider the following. If you are a daddy who has arrived here to consider the life of Chip Bloecher, you are at the right place, even if this is a "mom's blog".

Chip is a devoted soldier of the cross... a man passionately in love with Jesus, his family, his church family, his students, and people in general. Chip is a man who knows how to STAND FIRM. He is a man who knows how to PRAY... Chip is a man who knows how to LEAD...

Join me in praying for Hope's daddy to return to her to lead her and her mommy...

Join me in praying for my grandson, Perry, as his daddy leads him and his mommy...

Join me in praying for my granddaughters, Chloe and her unborn sister (due in 14 days), as their daddy leads them and their mommy...

I will join you in praying for your children as you choose to recommit to the leadership of your family. May the following video deeply stir your spirit to be the male spiritual leader who God desires you to be! You will need to pause the playlist above in order to watch it!

Ephesians 6:13-18

Therefore put on the full armor of God,

so that when the day of evil comes,

you may be able to stand your ground,

and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then,

...with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,

with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with

the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this,

take up the shield of faith,

with which you can extinguish

all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and

the sword of the Spirit,

which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions

with all kinds of prayers and requests.

With this in mind,

be alert and always keep on

praying for all the saints. "

A Little History of this Blog:

A group of moms in Pitman, New Jersey began meeting every Tuesday morning in June 2008 to learn how to be Master-Full Moms. Although that class only lasted that summer, we have continued to have other classes for moms offered at the Pitman church of Christ. This blog will remain like an ongoing class. So, come back each day and join us as we discuss being God's women as we encourage transformation in each other.
.
3 POINTERS TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:

1. Just below, you'll find a series of questions and answers about who Transformed Moms are.

2. Options for getting started...after those questions and answers... YOU COULD click on the June 2008 Archive, scroll down to the first post called MASTER-FULL MOMS and start from the beginning with our 14 day devotional challenge, or....

2. WHAT DOES A MOM DO WHO HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN HER?

… those who live in accordance with the SPIRIT have their minds set on what the SPIRIT desires …life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to GOD. It does not submit to GOD’S law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please GOD. You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the SPIRIT, if the SPIRIT OF GOD lives in you…Therefore, sisters, we have an obligation… by the SPIRIT you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live… Romans 8:5-13

6. MOM, DAUGHTER OF GOD, HOW DO YOU GET THE POWER TO LIVE AND NOT LOSE HEART?

For GOD, WHO said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made HIS light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of CHRIST.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from GOD and not from us.

We are:

· hard pressed on every side, but not crushed

· perplexed, but not in despair

· persecuted, but not abandoned

· struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:5-12
