Karen Wheaton: Make Up Your Mind to Never Give Up! (1 John 5:14)
Karen speaks at Fresh Start Church in Peoria, AZ, on 10/2/2022. Quotes: “I don't care how long I'll be here, but I will stand in this place until my daughter looks like that word from God. You've got to leave this place today with a renewed made-up mind. I don't care how long it takes, and I don't care how many meals I miss. I've made up my mind! I came to tell you, you don't have to accept anything that's not the will of God.”

In other words, I came here from Alabama this weekend
to tell you to keep praying.
I came here to tell you, you matter.
I came here to tell every praying mother and father,
every praying grandmother in this room,
every praying grandfather, your prayers are making
more of a difference than you know.
You cannot stop, and the enemy's been trying
to wear you out and wear you down
and make you mentally, physically exhausted.
He will do anything to make you stop praying.
He will do anything to discourage your faith,
just anything to make you quit.
But God told me to come from Alabama
and tell you this morning, don't you ever give up!
You can't quit! Everything, everything is at stake!
I learned this several years ago,
and some of you have heard me tell this
because I think I have some front porch friends here.
They know who they are, and I know who they are.
I love them. I learned this several years ago.
I have two daughters.
My oldest one is here on the front row and that's Lauren.
Lauren, stand up and wave at everybody.
That's my oldest daughter.
My youngest daughter Lindsey.
I only have the two girls both raised in the ministry,
both in the presence of God.
They're probably sixth generation Pentecostal.
I mean, it goes back a bit in our family.
But I learned this a few years ago when the enemy came in
for my youngest daughter.
I'm going to talk fast and make a long story intensely short.
She, like I said, through the Holy Ghost's child
marries a young man at the Ramp
who becomes he was a minister of the gospel.
He was actually pastor of Ramp Church.
She was over all the performing arts,
all the dance in our school of ministry, in our conferences.
Lindsey was the choreographer for all the dances,
everything, all this stuff.
And the enemy targets my daughter, long story short,
she takes a detour that is going to lead
in the enemy's plan to her complete
destruction of her life.
She came to us and said, "I have filed for divorce
with absolutely no grounds whatsoever.
I've filed for divorce. I'm leaving my husband."
She left her family, she left the ministry,
she moved to a different town and became a different person.
Now it was in that season, my world turned upside down.
It sent me into a journey of intercession.
Even though I've known the Lord, to be honest with you,
since I was eight years old through the Holy Ghost,
that journey of intercession changed me forever.
I'll tell you why. Moms and wives, parents, grandparents,
let me tell you why one of the reasons
your prayers make such a difference
and why they're so effective. Love prays different.
So mother, that's why the enemy will try to get you
so hurt even by them that you just think
it'd be better not to hope
because hope is hurting me too bad.
But if you lose your hope, you lose your faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for.
If you lose your hope, you'll throw faith away.
Without faith, you'll never place God in this.
God sent them through you for a reason.
God knew that Satan was going to sift them like wheat,
but he also knew you would be the one saying,
"But I've prayed for you and your faith is not going to fail."
Come on, it may not look like that right now,
but I'm never giving up.
I had to make up my mind when Lindsey was gone.
It was a few years of a girl I did not know.
It was just a matter of setting myself to such prayer.
100% made up my mind that it does not matter
what this takes or how long it takes.
I remember in the beginning days of that
when people were concerned about
even with me and even my health,
and some different ones just concerned, I think,
with the pressure that it was on.
And they were just saying, "Now Karen,
you've got to accept this.
You've got to learn how to go on
and not let this destroy you too,
and you're going to have to find a way to move on."
I remember, and these were all well-meaning people
and they met with me and discussed this.
Karen, you can't let this destroy you too.
