Honor Your Father and Mother
Exodus 20 vs 12, Neh 1 vs 6
Recently, I have done historical research on areas my past family.
Very little of past research has been compiled about what
was important to the family. With the
Lord’s leading, I went back to the home sight, and prayed over issues that I
knew were not right, and also included good issues. This followed Nehemiah's example.
Later after that prayer, a question was asked me about my
family homestead. The Lord used that and
brought new information in the form letters
and of old diaries, which Lord used to show good things about my past grandparents,
to helped me to honor them.
Sometimes it takes prayer to confess issues that are not
right—once those issues removed, the Lord can then share with us good things,
that help us honor our past grandparents.
Consider this prayer:
Father, I acknowledge my sins and the sins of my fathers and turn to
you. In Jesus’s Name, Amen.
Take a minute and listen to
the Prayer Minute that is attached.
Consider the
action this Prayer Minute has shared, and the results after that action. Then take a look at what Nehemiah did. Could he have moved forward without that
prayer? In that prayer he confessed his
sins and the sins of his fathers. Was
that a turning point?
Do you face a
problem of always seeing bad things in your family? Would the action of confessing sins make a
difference?
Maybe you have
personally confessed your sins and those of your fathers. What was the result afterwards? Perhaps by sharing your experience, it may
help someone else.
