When King Jesus speaks, love and healing and deliverance and strength flows into us.  Prince Edmond has received great counsel from our King.  His attitude has changed for the better significantly.  The following is a collection of the Prince’s latest prayer notes listed in reverse chronological order.  May our King’s goodness be testified and He be glorified.  May His loving words encourage all parents, single parents, parents-to-be, grandparents-to-be and darling children of all age.

 

2/7/03

According to the King’s 2003 direction for the family, the queen set up Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 9 to 10 to be our family prayer time.  It is a mixture of worship, praying for Kingdom business, reading Bible verses and waiting upon the Lord, depending on how the Spirit leads.  Prince’s initial resistance was strong.  Instructed by the Queen, Prince asked King Jesus, “What should my prayer life be?”  He received King’s counsel:

 

God said that I should keep on doing the prayer night. Also he will help me to overcome this resistance. I should pray during the family time.  And until further instructions on praying that’s all I have to do.  Also for “The Call” [in L.A. on 2/22/03]  (The Call has continued on to become The Cause USA at http://www.thecauseusa.com/) I don’t have to go because, first, I have my CM test on piano.  The second is I don’t really want to go.  At “The Call” if your heart is not in the right place then it will be very hard to stay and go through the spiritual worship and prayer. It would exhaust me and just get my angry and cranky.

During Prince’s resistance stage, he would come to the prayer time, sank deep into sofa and do nothing.  Queen understood he was playing a game of silent resistance.  She requested the prince to pray about “why do I resist so hard?” and “Should I play the silent game?”  Prince heard the King:

 

God said that the reason why I resisted in prayer was because of coming back from daddy’s house. At daddy’s house we don’t do the same things and don’t really have to do anything religious or spiritual like praying. So when we come back I resist because I wasn’t required to pray at daddy’s and I didn’t want to.  But here I am required to and I have to even if I don’t want to. He said I don’t express myself and don’t talk is because I feel if I am quiet when you are talking to me then we can get over with it and get back to normal as fast as possible. I just want to finish my time of prayer and worship and then get to my normal schedule.

The King gave Prince Edmond a compassionate heart.  He is sensitive.  About three years ago, he loved to play a computer game called StarCraft.  Its devilish images caused fear and other negative impact on him.  With much discussion and prayer, Prince obeyed King’s command and quit playing.  Now, as Prince is approaching the age of 13, he asks the King the big question: “What games (in general like computer games or any other game) can I play and when can I start playing them? (Like StarCraft, which mom said I couldn’t play certain games due to being scared.)”  Here is what the King says:

 

After your thirteenth birthday you may play Starcraft. Also there are some games I don’t want you to play. They can be computer games or card games etc. I don’t want you to play any games that will make you afraid. Also I do not want you to play any games that deal directly with the Devil. When I say this I mean Diablo or any games that the main focus in the Devil. You may play games that have things using magic and violence.  But you must pray that I will give you strength to not be influenced by these things and I will give you strength. The reason why I don’t want you to watch Lord of the Rings is because you are influenced greatly by movies. Some people are not influenced as much but you are.

 

1/10/03

Prince: “Should I catch up on my violin and piano? If yes, how?”

King: “Yes, you should catch up. If you utterly despise playing the piano or violin then don’t play. You should practice more and don’t get frustrated when you don’t get something right. Just go over it slowly.” 

 

1/9/03

Prince: “Is it right to have anger needlessly?”

King: “No, you should only have anger if there is a reasonable cause. But try not to be angry any day or time.”

 

Prince: “Should I practice the same amount of piano and violin during vacation?

King: “Yes, during vacation practice is just as important because you need to improve or else the lessons will be for nothing. You might just have lessons but never practice then your skill level will [only] increase by little pieces. If you don’t practice piano and violin [your schedule] will become even more boring.”

 

2002 Review

I prayed to God during the week before January. I asked him about my progress through the year and what I had broken through like any anger problems or academic improvements.

 

He said that I had improved on my anger problem.  That was great. Also he said that I had improved a lot on many different things and I should try my best to obey and do everything to my highest degree of capability. He said I could have done better on my schoolwork. This year I will try harder.

 

O King Jesus, words cannot describe our gratitude to You.  You are our head of household.  Each time you speak we continued being awed by how real and how great you are.  Thank you, thank you and thank you...  Please keep Your Queen, Prince and Princess so we reign in victory.  Hail to the King!
