The Prodigal Daughter
Tonight my daughter told me that God instructed her to ask me to baptize her.
Tonight I baptized my daughter.
There are no words that can express how humbling this experience was.
I am still shedding tears of joy as I write this.
People don’t know how long my family has been in spiritual warfare concerning my daughter.
People don’t know how long my daughter has been in bondage to a spirit of self-defeat.
People don’t know how all of this has effected my relationship with my daughter.
But Heaven knows! And now all of Heaven is rejoicing over my daughter making a decision to be born again in Christ Jesus like the Bible says in Luke chapter 15.
Early last week I began a divine assignment where everyday I am led to read one chapter in the Bible Live on social media.
I believed that if I remained faithful in this assignment that God would trust me to do more like in the parable about the servants and their talents (Matthew 25: 14-30).
I could have NEVER imagined that God would use me in this way.
There are a lot of details I am leaving out because this is more my daughter’s testimony than mine, but I will say this;
God is faithful, The Holy Spirit is Real, and Jesus is THE SAVIOR!
While I was in a very toxic relationship over 5 years ago, I was highly exposed to voodoo powers and so was my daughter.
I believe that this exposure directly played a factor in the spiritual battles that my daughter has spent the last 5 years fighting.
Now she is made new, Now she is redeemed, Now she is God’s daughter.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ[that is grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], She is a new creation [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit}; The old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings new life.” - 2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP
Ministering to my daughter everyday was a lot of work and sometimes I wanted to give up, but the Holy Spirit never allowed me to quit on her, because Jesus never quits on me. #RelentlessGrace.
Every believer that is a parent wants to witness their child make a decision to be baptized. Not only did I get to witness it but God used me to conduct her baptism.
I gave birth to my daughter and tonight I got to see her be re-born.
What an honor, what a privilege, what a blessing!
I have been praying that My daughter would be baptized since the beginning of 2019. When Jesus tells us to “seek first the kingdom of God and all of its righteousness and all these things will be added unto you” Matthew 6:33
I believe this is what I experienced tonight.
If God never uses me to do another thing while I am on this earth, I will forever rejoice in Him because of tonight.
I am not worthy.
