Episode 253 - Standing in the Gap by Putting God First with Joy Moreau

“If we put God first, allowing Him to impact our lives, His Word
to be our Guide, and His Spirit to abide in us, then we’re going
to sow that into our children’s lives and reap what we sow.” We
continue our podcast series, Standing in the Gap, focusing on
amazing intercessors in the Bible. Stacy welcomes Joy Moreau,
former Moms in Prayer Appalachian Division Coordinator, who
shares the importance of living a godly life as an example to our
children. God knows we get discouraged and anxious at times, so
we need to come to Him in prayer, listen, and be aware that He
wants to speak to us. Joy gives us examples of how to do this
through the minor prophets in the Bible.

SCRIPTURES


And God spoke all these words: “I am the LORD your God, who
brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall
have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:1-3 NIV


Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we
will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 NIV


Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for your sins have
brought you down. Bring your confessions, and return to the LORD.
Say to him, “Forgive all our sins and graciously receive us, so
that we may offer you our praises.” Hosea 14:1-2 NLT


“As my life was slipping away, I remembered the LORD. And my
earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple. Those who
worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies. But I
will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will
fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”
Jonah 2:7-9 NLT


The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he
requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show
mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your
God. Micah 6:8 NIRV


“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What
shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we
wear?’ For after all these things the
Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all
these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Matthew 6:31-33 NKJV
