passion and a heart for children and i want you to get a piece of paper and a poem so people pair to take some notes you're going to find this a wonderful program  this so let's welcome sandra cox to the program welcome sandra cox thank you for having me blessing yes i'm so glad that you decided to take time out of your busy schedule and to children you have children i have children and we just love children but something started taken place with you as working in a school district what was happening as when i started working in a school district i saw a lot of conflict with the children they seemed to be low aggravated a little disturbed and low disrespectful and it began to bother me so i beg to ask the lord to show me how to pray for these children and then the holy spirit began to show me how to pray over them to help them to be more obedient help them to be attentive to the teachers and so that worked i began to see them changed to some of them turning around and then a couple weeks later the holy spirit began to share with me pray for the family pray for the household and so then i began to pray for the family said that there be peace in their homes in hand that they're not say that their salvation will come to their household and there be no lack in their homes and i just begin to see a little turn around and some of the children not all of them you cannot you can get to as many as you can we have a saying that each one reach one those of you can reach one today then you've got quite a few but indeed a week why it's so important that we especially you know we lift sometimes normal every day issues that's true and so actually you seen a need with the new school district for prayer yes over the children then i began to incorporate the teachers i would begin the priority teachers because i saw of them getting frustrated because the children weren't acting correctly so then i began to pray and reach out to some of the teachers i knew that were saved and let them know that i was praying with them standing with them so i begin to see it a change in that also so when all of us those who knew the word of prayer began to pray you begin to see a difference  and that's the reason why we have this program here on this evening so we can you know address some of those issues and and prayer of families can begin to prayer in their their death for life so we have to be careful of the words that we speak that's true i have my great grands he's eleven but when he was like four i had him start saying things that was positive to him and i am smart i am strong and as he began to save those every day i had on a refrigerator and he'd be here you could see the change taken over him and he was always happy and if i forgot you remind me grandma we didn't say i will affirmation and so it means a lot to the children to know that their love cared about at least brings peace to them and then they'll come to school with a little joy yes yes and also i just like what you said are believers so also important because i do that with my own children i have done that with moen children and they're doing quite well so today  and so is very and i've taught them how to not say negative things over their own lives so it's very important that we speak words of the life because those words have power every does you know we just want to g ours when we we you know jane story eight through ten says but no one can tame the human tongue it is a restless evil and discipline and these things my brothers should not be this way for we have a moral obligation to speak in a manner that reflects our fear of god and profound respect for his precepts  and there's james three eight through ten so said he and i we want you to be able to say the scriptures prayer over your children before they go up to school and this is we know this is very important because school began in somerset or you know in the certain areas begin in september after labor day so we want parents to be able to pray for your children right and direct or they go out of school correct correct and so is very important before they go out the door before they get on that bus before they step on to the first step out on them on the front porch pray a prayer over your children because they're going to be away from you for a certain amount of time where they are going in day care right that's correct right that's correct and whether they're going into nursery and so old school or high school going to college even when they go to college they need prayer you know they must pray that is so true so even when they go to concerts just like children and sandy and i we just we're just going to give you a taste of in this program a how you can pray over your children and we will like you if you get a chance write a scriptures down joy and fun and do in this yes and sadie is going to star and say our first prayer and remember we said death in life or in a power of the tongue so

children that they will have that peace that nobody else can give them but the lord that the peace of god to rest in rule upon them we thank you father god that there will be peace in the home and

ma'am in jesus names but is important you pray for your children they're going on a bus  many of them going to be waiting on to the street your own on the corner with a group of kids while the bus comes and so many of you have to go to work but it's important that children are covered with with your prayers they need your prayers throughout the day because we never know what's going to go on through sandy we don't know what's going to go on no we don't because you have re into children who who have different of issues yes i have and the thing is i have also taken my grandson to the bus stop and there's times when that bus come back from school and the parent is not there my grandson and i have walked many a kids home because we want to leave them on the corner waiting for their parents and most of the time when we did that the parent was home maybe sleep more lost track of time but we were able to bring them there so that's a blessing also because you never know what happens when you leave your child on that corner because this so much unsafe out there things are unsafe and children or picked scared me though it will be scared me that i never did it again but that's frightening but it's always good to know your neighbors your children sed parents because that way you look out for one another that's very important wow very important  e hoping you're here and advise that sandy has said be friends with your labors yes become friends with them because if you have little children and they got little children you will watch out for one another so it very important that we get to know our neighbors those neighbors you haven't met in five years this time to get to meet them especially if they have a little short term because you we need we want another

for one another yes ok so get to know your neighbors true it is very very important yes and ladies and gentleman many of you may not know the the lord many of you may not be able to pray or know the scripture that's ok it's a learning process for all of us and when a man right isn't learning press it's a learned thing because that's when we had to learn this right had to learn that right really did had to go into the bible and find scriptures that we needed right and down and repeat them and pray over them until we got them within inside of us but we couldn't do that without being saved we had asked jesus into our life in order to be able to do this yes and this is where sandy is going to those of you who want to know the board and you may not know the word but this is your opportunity and the senate is going to lead us into or salvation prayer salvation scriptures that i have to share with you today is acts sixteen verse thirty one and this is read from the amplified bible it says believe in the lord jesus as your personal savior and entrust yourself to him and you will be saved you and your household if they also believe now this is saying that once you believe in the lord your god as your savior your whole household will be saved if they believe and and i asked of you just repeat after me father god father i thank you i thank you that you are my lord that you are my lord and my savior and i say here i surrender my life i surrender my life to you to you to move into my heart to move into my heart and become my personal savior and become  personal savior surrender everything that is not of you surrender everything that is not of you and entrust my life in your hands and trust my life in your hands and i thank you board there i believe that i am saved i thank you lord that i believe that i am saying because your word says if i compare us with my mouth and believe with my heart i shall be saved because the word has said if i confess in my mouth and believe in my horror i n g s this name in jesus name welcome into the family won't go repeated that welcome and to the family welcome and to the family and you know it welcome to the new life welcome to the new life you got to go on to an exciting journey suggest you start with the book of john the first chapter in john in the new testament and that will begin to lead you into different areas and god

of god and a church that has a good ministry for children it's very important and once you start doing that you see a big change not only in your life but in your children going to hungry but that's how they can get the foundation they're going to have bought yeah they're going to have fun and you have fun and you won't be frustrated with the children because you are  enjoyed sunday school i know

always so excited and i thank god because if i had not been speaking a word over him then he would known to do that and he might have failed but god showed up when he called on his name he called on the name of jesus and he showed up he passed this test he couldn't wait to get home to show it to us yes wow ladies and gentlemen i just want to encourage you said it is just been a pleasure and an
