My sweet mother, God love her, developed a neurological problem in the latter part of her life, and as her breakdown started, her memory would come and go. She knew that I was divorced and living alone, but she didn’t remember why (which was a blessing to me). She said to a friend of mine, “The devil tried to take Sherry out, but he couldn’t do it.”

       Even in her altered state, she was aware of the spiritual battle that had gone on for my soul. Despite her state of mental demise she would pray for me. Sometimes, while still living with my partner, I would go by to visit her. As I would conclude the visit and prepare to leave, she would shuffle over to me and say, “Let me pray for you.” I was thankful to have her pray for me because I knew it was the only thing that could save me.

       God has your prayers laid out before Him, and he has targeted your child with an everlasting love and an everlasting pursuit. What a blessing to know that. I thank God that my son is serving Him. I have friends still in the lifestyle, people I love dearly who are still caught in this deception. But I know the same God who pursued me with an everlasting love is able to pull them out as well. I believe He will do it.

       I believe we’re on the verge of a great revival in this nation. It may not look like any revival of our past, but I believe it will be marked by an influx of those from the homosexual community who will come in hungry for God. They will realize that the homosexual/transgender lifestyle has not given them the fulfillment they sought. They’ll ask, “Can God do something to change my life?” Maybe it’s you God has marked you as part of this life-changing army.

            I can tell you about or even demonstrate the indisputable law of gravity, and you could say, “It sounds possible, but I don’t believe it.” You don’t have to believe it, but if you walk off the side of a tall building you will feel the effects of it. And whether you believe bitter-root judgments exist—or whether you believe you have any—you are feeling the effects of them through the troubled patterns in your life. Whether they express themselves through overt sins or subtle sins, these sins can still be traced to the bitter-root judgments in your life. Just as my sins were traced back to my own bitter-root judgments.
