PATRICIA: You’re blessed with a blessing everywhere you go! The fruit of the Spirit is inside of you! You will fulfill your God-given calling! You have favor with God and man! And you’re only going to marry who God has for you! [Laughs]
PAT: Amen!
PATRICIA: So even with the older kids who are married we end a Facetime call or a phone call and actually say that little phrase and it stuck through the years as well as you know just my own time of prayer for them. But it’s powerful! The power of blessing!
PAT: You know Karen and I one of the things I realize travelling
the world ministering like you guys, you and – you know I have begun to realize that really the greatest church we can have is at home!
PATRICIA: Yeah!
PAT: The move of God at home!
PATRICIA: Yeah!
PAT: Restoring the altar at home in our house!
PATRICIA: Right.
PAT: Breaking that orphan spirit off a generation. Restoring them to their place. And culture is doing everything they can to change their identity and if we don’t speak life over this generation then, culture will tell them who they’re not! Tell them who the enemy assigned them to be! How have you done that with your kids? Because this is interesting to me. I have a 15-year-old daughter. My son is a 27-year-old youth pastor out in California. We’ve got two grandsons.
PATRICIA: Oh.
PAT: And this is really burning in my spirit and so when I began to see this and all that you had written and walking in the revelatory gift and the blessing of God, talk to the mom or dad that’s sitting out there right now that life’s not perfect.
PATRICIA: Yeah.
PAT: And you know I’ve often said that if the devil can’t make you sin he just makes you busy!
PATRICIA: Ahh!
PAT: And how many times God has brought me to my knees.
PATRICIA: Yeah.
PAT: The time when literally I saw a demonic figure in the backyard. The whole family saw it. I ran out to confront it and God said the enemy is here to come against your family. And we had to go to war!
PATRICIA: Yeah.
PAT: We almost lost our son.
PATRICIA: Talk to the mom or dad that is sitting out there and how they can take their home back.
PAT: Yeah.
PATRICIA: How they can restore the presence of God?
PAT: Well see one of the biggest things is the power of prayer! And I just want to give a really quick example. My grandmother had two of her sons in the ministry and they had one prodigal son. And she prayed all of her life oh, God save my son! And even said this. Even if it’s on his deathbed don’t let him leave Planet Earth without knowing You! She went to heaven. Never saw the answer to that prayer until my uncle was on his deathbed and was dying of cancer. And he turned to Jesus. He was healed!
PAT: Mmm!
PATRICIA: He lived another two years! Radical for God! And I thought you know the prayers of my grandmother even beyond the grave they were effective! And so the power of prayer! The other thing about what you said about the culture. I just want to say this. That we want to, you know, teach our kids to live from a Biblical worldview! I think it’s so important that we teach our children to love the Word of God. So we’ve sought to instill that in them even from a young age. And my husband actually teaches the Bible to them every night and you know they memorize scriptures together. But if we’re going to live from a Biblical worldview how that affects so much of our lives including, for example, dating and courtship and who you’re going to marry and all these very important decisions. So that’s one of the things that we, you know, seek to say is okay, culture says one thing but what does God say?
PATRICIA: Right.
PAT: What does the Word of God say? And this is our standard. Cultures are not our standard!
PATRICIA: So you believe there is an assignment from the Lord to their next? To their future spouse?
PATRICIA: Absolutely.
PAT: Karen and I have always believed that, that we – you know our daughter is 15 and we already pray for her future spouse!
PATRICIA: Absolutely!
