The whole reason for this post tonight is actually because of my Boston James. I don't know if it's because his birthday is tomorrow or if it was just laid on my heart but let me tell you what happened tonight. I am writing this all down because I want him to be able to look back at what I have written one day and read these words. I also want YOU to know just how special I think my Bossy Boy is.
I believe God showed me something about my son that I want to share with you and I want him to be able to reference later in life. I feel it is so important for me to write this for him.
Tonight I am praying over my kids while they are falling asleep. I begin first by praying for Beringer and for his inquisitive spirit to lead him to seek answers from God; to question and be curious and seek out the things of God. I then begin praying for Boston. I am praying for his fiery spirit to cause him to be on fire for God. Suddenly, this dream/vision (whatever you want to call it) comes to my mind and hits me so hard. I see my son on top of the world with a fire burning underneath him and he is yelling SO LOUD to everyone below him!
I then revert back to memories of his birth; how he came into this world so hard and fast. Even at his birth I remember thinking, "This boy is gonna be a spit fire!". I just knew he was going to be a force to be reckoned with.
As I am continuing to pray over him, I know I need to go find Josh and have him take a few minutes to cover our younger boy in prayer also; it's almost an urgency in my spirit to do this. Once we are both praying over Boston, the word 'fire' is just stuck in my mind and I am praying that the fire of God overtakes him. God then gives me these words, "Fire for Fire" and it just keeps repeating as I see Boston as a grown man with a fire burning so close behind him it seemed to be part of him. He was standing toe to toe with someone else who had a fire behind them too but their fire was a different color than his own. It was as if both of their fires were battling and Boston's was getting larger and larger while the other couldn't keep up.
In my mind's eye, I then see David preparing to take on Goliath when David tells Goliath,"You come to me with all this armor but I come with the Lord of hosts".
"Fire for Fire" continues to repeat in my mind as I once again see my grown son in officer blues walking down the street preparing for a spiritual battle with a fire burning so brightly behind him it is as if that fire is what is pushing him forward and singeing everything within it's reach. The look on Boston's face is so focused and hard as he walks with a purpose towards whatever is in front of him with the fire beginning to surround him.
Just like that, it's as if I wake up. The dream/vision is over and I realize I have been crying and Josh is holding my hand. Y'all, I don't know what the future holds for my second child but I am praying protection and a Holy Fire to reign down on him.
I think DC Talk said it best in their song God's Not Dead with these lines:
"Let heaven roar, and fire fall
Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival"
Until next time,
