Scriptures
By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them. Hebrews 11:28 ESV
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you. Exodus 12:23 ESV
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10 ESV
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 NKJV
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 NASB
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

This was my first time listening to your podcast, & it blessed me so much! Immediately, the enemy went to work- in my head I heard “u can’t relate to anything she has to say, your a single parent & she’s married- different already”. I ALMOST stopped listening & the Holy Spirit told me to pause & stay tuned in. I was so encouraged by Laine Lawson Craft! Could NOT have been more on time! God bless you for utilizing your platform in such a powerful & encouraging way! Thank you:)
Praise God!! Thank you for being obedient and listening to the Holy Spirit’s prompting! So thankful for His perfect timing. May God continue to encourage your heart! Blessings dear one!
Hi, dear Sisters in Jesus Way!!
Your Scripts are really encouraging!
Thanks be to God for you!!!
I want to keep in contact with you.
I know that Jesus is my Lord and redeemer.
For me it’ s quite hard to get organized in prayer, worship and listen to Jesus because of my ADS.
It sounds like a cheap excuse….but it’s really hard Work
Anyway: I confess: I will going keep on BE connected with the ONE, who says: he is given all Power in heaven an earth! AMEN
