I’m so behind in posting stories that her son will have been clean 6 months in 5 days!!! Praise God! You’ve seen a demo of one of these before too, but there’s some beautiful video of Tami worshiping with them below.
I received my new swing flags awhile back and I just love them, plus there is deep meaning to these for me. The Lord spoke to me about them before I had them made.
I knew that I was having a pair made and I was so EXCITED 🙂 I kept thinking purple would beautiful! Well the Lord had other plans for me and he is ALWAYS right.
Here is what took place:
My son had locked himself out of the garage and needed the keys to get back in. My husband and I were both at church, so he got his sister to bring him over to the church to get the keys. This was BIG for my son, just coming in to the church (He knows there is a God, he just hasn’t gotten a hold of the whole picture).
Our son had a drug addiction for years and hit Rock Bottom back in December and went away for treatment, 2010 was a hard year on me and my husband. Watching our son trying to be destroyed by Satan. We prayed for our son all the time and knew that all we could do was PRAY and let God take control, so that is what we did. God had pulled him out of many troubles, but our son didn’t see that it was God that had him covered and kept him safe. He is doing GREAT and has been drug FREE for 4 months. I am very proud of where my son has come from and to where God is moving him.
As he came in to the Church, of course I was surprised and happy to see him, even if he didn’t stay he was touched by God that day. God started speaking to me after he left to Pray Life over him, Pray Life over him, this was very clear from the Lord. So I did start praying over my son and God said speak Life in to EVERYONE. Then a few days later our church was hosting a web conference and God started sharing more to me about the wings I was having made. Purple so out! heehee I started seeing green and I thought, “Lord, this can’t be right, I like green but I wanted purple”. The Lord said “GREEN, for LIFE”.
So when I got home that night from the conference I shared what the Lord had shown me with Meghan and she said “I am sensing the ones for you”. God is so good, I was Blessed with a beautiful pair of “Declaring Life”.
I will continue to pray LIFE over our son and our Nation. My son is changing everyday and I give all the Praise and Glory to our Lord!!! I am so blessed to see all the changes happening in my son. He is spending time with family now which he hasn’t done in years, what a JOY it is to have our son back, Thank you Jesus for the work you are doing in our son. One big thing that God has been doing in our son’s life is that he is not spending time with the people that he thought were his friends. He was seeing them a little when he got back home, but the last month he hasn’t been seeing them at all. He stays home or goes and hangs out with his sister, brother-in-law and his niece and nephew. Our God is BIG!!! He can handle the biggest issue that would just crumble me.
Thank you Meghan for all your prayers and the beautiful Swing Flags “Declaring Life”… I am seeing my son change a little every day!!!
Praise the LORD

Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing this testimony. It is beautiful to see Him work!
So good. Declaring life is so important. Beautiful to hear the word of God, obey, and see Him move. Wonderful that you have your son back. Love the videos too. God be praised.
Thanks for sharing Tami! I’ve a family member that my heart is broken over as he is in chains to drugs, literally and figuratively. Your son’s overcoming is encouraging!
Oh my!!!!! Crying again at the awesomeness of God!!!! Can so identify with this story as I am currently standing in the gap for my brother who was recently put in jail, had his son taken away form him all because of his drinking and abusive behavior. Such a wonderful testimony and reminder that He never leaves us or forsakes us and how our decrees, prayers and worship are so powerful. So happy for this sister in the Lord!!! Wow!!!!
I am standing in the gap with you all. I came home at lunch and seen that it was posted. As I read my testimony I cried, happy tears though 🙂 Our son was addicted for almost 14 years and the last year was the worse. He stoled from us and others to cover his habit. Her had nothing, I mean nothing. He had lost so much weight, my heart was breaking. But I look at him know and I am so proud of him!! I pray off all drug addicits, In the name of Jesus!! Thank you Papa God for watching out over my son. Thank you for all that you are doing in his life. I Praise you and I adore you.
My friend, Kim, has a daughter named Sara. She’s back and forth between sobriety and heroin/crack abuse. Be encouraged that your arms are being lifted up for you and that as you did for your son, you can do for others and continue to speak life 🙂
much, MUCH love in Christ to you!
How awesome, it gives me hope and strengthens my faith. My son is stuck in addiction and I know God is calling him back to the fold. He fights it daily and I know that some of his anger is because he doesn’t want to hear God write now. Thank you for inthe infusion of faith and HOPE!!!!!
Beautiful story! So happy you have your son back! God is Good!
What a beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness and blessings that overflow! May your son be blessed with new wisdom and may the Lord show him a new vision for his life! May the Lord be with each and every one of you that has posted about loved ones in similiar struggles. We serve a mighty God who will fight to death and back for each of His beloved Children!
Praying Life over your son with you! May God bless you! Addiction is a horrible thing to battle. We have battled this is in our own family. My brother fought it for years and I used to just sit and cry when I would look at him. I thought I was going to lose him to either the grave or prison. PRAISE GOD!! He is delivered and now preaching!! I plead the Blood of Jesus over your son! Curse addiction at the root, satan you are a liar and in the name of Jesus he is free! I will continue to pray for your son and your entire family!
that’s for sharing this. I used to be an addict 🙁 Drugs are so devastating to everyone. Praise God that you’re son is getting free 😀 This testimony is such an encouragement! My mother is still addicted to drugs 🙁 Praying that she will recognize God’s grace in her life!!! Bless you!
