“When you’re in the Word daily and see God’s love over and over again, it gets easier to immediately trust Him. And that then means the fear is not there. Fear is not of God because God is love.” Today we welcome Moms in Prayer Founder, Fern Nichols, back to the podcast. She has been in awe of the goodness of God’s love and shares how understanding this can completely transform our lives! God not only shows us His great love, He IS love. And that changes everything.

Scriptures
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ESV
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 NIV
We need have no fear of someone who loves us perfectly; his perfect love for us eliminates all dread of what he might do to us. If we are afraid, it is for fear of what he might do to us and shows that we are not fully convinced that he really loves us. 1 John 4:18 TLB
For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’ Isaiah 41:13 NASB
I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 NIV
‘Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17 ESV
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:2 ESV
No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Romans 4:20-21 ESV

About our Guest
Fern Nichols is a former elementary school teacher and the founder of Moms in Prayer International, a prayer movement that mobilizes women around the world to gather together to pray for their children and schools. In 1984, Fern was fearful about sending her two eldest children off to junior high. She knew the school would be a battlefield for their hearts and minds. She realized the warfare would be intense and to fight in this battle she needed to invite other moms to pray. She called a mom and asked her to pray with her for their children and school. Her response was an immediate “yes,” and that was the humble beginning of Moms in Prayer that now spans the USA in every state and is in more than 150 countries. Fern has traveled to almost every continent in the world speaking, teaching and training women how to pray effectively. She and her husband Rle have been married for over 50 years. They were involved with Campus Crusade for Christ (now CRU) for 15 years. They have four children and 10 grandchildren.

Very Encouraging always,
Thank you so much for this opportunity to be able to hear more about your faith and teachings in God’s words and Love. Yes I ‘ve been a Mom in Prayer since February 2016, almost 10 years God willing. I never thought of that before – I got used to being with one friend who made me amazed when she introduced me to Moms in Prayer at that time. The Booklet -your testimony – the 4 Steps – etc etc… especially all the Attributes and Characters of God have helped me to live my daily life and circumstances free of fear. I dare say that Moms in Prayer Ministry has helped me with confidence and understanding of everything that goes through my children -family and my own life. I am the one who always encourages them not to be afraid of anything but to keep relying on God’s Love and Grace.
Thank you again so much Mom and Grandma Fern Nichols.
Thanks for being a Blessing to all generations.
Hello, Thank you for your wonderful comments. I will forward this to Fern Nichols. Also, thank you for praying for children and schools. God bless you.
It’s good to hear your voice, Fern! Things are going well in Albuquerque. Our oldest son has been a pastor for 20 years. Mike’s logo design for MIT is a treasure to us. We’re retired now but find purpose in praying for our six grandchildren, as they are ages 9 to 14. Thank you for all the prayers! Pam Bridge
Pam, Thank you for your comment. I will share this with Fern. God bless you.
