This morning, I listened to Joni and her husband, Doug Weiss, interview Karen Wheaton. She is the founder and director of ‘The Ramp’, a Youth Ministry, located in the city of Hamilton, Alabama. The Ramp operates with the goal of “Awakening a generation”, holding Christian rallies, concerts, and conferences for different groups of worshipers. She’s 64, and has been in the ministry for some 45 years.
I paid more attention when I heard that her daughter, Lindsey, had gone prodigal, abandoning her home and pastor husband; and how she (Karen) had prayed and held on to GOD’S WORD till she was restored. In her book, ‘Watching the Road,’ Karen unveils her extraordinary journey of trusting GOD for the return of her prodigal daughter. Watching from her porch with eyes of faith and a heart of hope, Karen cried out to GOD for Lindsey’s return. In miraculous ways, GOD daily reaffirmed the promises He gave personally to Karen that Lindsey would be restored to her marriage and family.
The advert for the book says, “Watching the Road will stir your faith, strengthen your resolve, and provide strategic tactics for your journey. Experience the struggle and thrill of one woman’s determination to not give up but tenaciously trust GOD to fulfill His promises. As you’ll see, He kept every single one.”
The devil is all out against godly people, especially children of GOD’S servants; but THE ALMIGHTY GOD assures us that our HERITAGE/FAMILY is SECURE in HIM, and no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper. HE has promised to CONTEND with him that contends with us, and to SAVE our children, and give them GREAT PEACE. I BELIEVE GOD, even in the midst of our struggles and challenges. I encourage you to read more about Karen and Lindsey, as well as Sarah Bowling (Marilyn Hickey’s daughter) and how GOD restored her prodigal daughter, too.
During the interview, Karen narrated how she had spoken angrily to Lindsey, and how she had worried afterwards if her actions wouldn’t worsen the matter. She said she heard GOD speak to her, “Don’t worry Karen, it’s so DONE! Nothing you do can undo it!” Today, Lindsey is restored back to her husband, and the two of them are doing ministry together, to the Glory of GOD, and shame of Lucifer.
Brethren, it’s ALREADY DONE! GOD HAS TAKEN CARE OF IT, whatever it is. Relax, and TRUST HIM.
Have a good day.
