Members Danny Carlton Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Are you checking in to SNYP to see how many are praying each day? I know I've been, and I'm pretty sure my wife has been as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pneu-engine Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 John, Some excellent counsel has been given here by all the posters in this thread:::::: ***Have your pastor and his wife there at the meeting too. ***Record everything the social worker says and does. Be sure to tell her/him in advance that you are doing so. ***Pray continuously and continually about this and give it totally to the LORD. Now I am going to add a few more things :::::::::: ***Have at least two more couples there from your church who you know and trust to be excellent in counsel and wisdom. This is so that you outnumber those social workers. I know that you and God make a majority, but this is also one of the reasons why God gives us friends. Instruct them (your friends) to be fervent in silent prayer during the actual meeting. ***On the day that the social workers are to come you and all of your church people precede that visit with a session of several hours (((((possibly even all morning long))))) of prayer and Bible reading to invoke God's protection around your family and to bind Satan. ***Do not let them catch you unawares. i.e. Do not permit them to reschedule this meeting for another time at the last minute. ***During the meeting make sure you and your wife exercise the utmost meekness and carefulenss in all of your answers to their questions. Take your time with your answers and never let them intimidate you. Pray diligently before during and after each question they present to you. I know what you mean by her technique to sweet-talk you into relaxing your guard and then when that guard is down "striking with her "dagger" straight for your jugular". NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recognize her as one who needs the LORD as she is also a sinful soul for whom Christ died. We alll are praying for you, John. We are trusting the LORD to work a great and wonderful victory here and look forward to what God will do on your behalf. :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
