A FATHER'S role is to protect, to provide, to bless, and to establish his children’s identity.
Maybe your father did that for you; maybe he didn’t.
Perhaps he abandoned you...or abused you: sexually...physically…verbally...or emotionally.
Maybe he died before you were ready, or left you for some other reason.
Maybe he made you his pet, delighting in you so much that you haven’t been able to break away to be your own person…Perhaps he was distant, removed and showed no interest in you;
Or he terrified you with his anger and rage.
Perhaps he made you the scapegoat for all his troubles, so that you suffered for things other people did to him.
Perhaps he blamed you for things that were not your fault at all.
Maybe he worked too much or played too hard and never spent time with you; missed your ball games, your dance recitals, your poetry slams or track title championships.
Maybe he spent too much time forcing YOU to become the athlete, student, doctor or lawyer you never wanted to be.
Perhaps he left you in the care of hurtful, dangerous people…Maybe he didn’t see or believe you when you went to him for help.
Perhaps he was just too preoccupied with himself to see anything you wanted or needed then.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW….
IF 'YOU' are willing to hear the words of
a 'broken' father
a 'broken' son
SPEAKING to you...please close your eyes for a few minutes.
###
I realize I am not your father...
BUT please allow me to stand in for him.
AND IN the place of your father, who may or may not have said any of these things
...please allow yourself to hear...
THESE WORDS AS MEN LIKE MYSELF STAND IN THE GAP FOR THE FATHER'S WHO ARE NOW GONE OR TOO DAMAGED TO SPEAK THIS BLESSING THEMSELVES:
I ask your HEAVEN FATHERLY to richly bless you in all the places I failed to bless you!!!
------------
I ask the Lord JESUS CHRIST by the power of HIS CROSS and BLOOD to set you free now from any harsh or cruel words that I said... especially the ones you keep remembering over and over again...I am so sorry!!!
I ask the LORD to set you free from heart injuries you sustained from me or from others in whose care I placed you.
I ask the HOLY SPIRIT to set you free from heartache, disappointments, dread, grief, or rage you can not resolve.
And I’m so sorry for any other struggles I may have caused you...
May you be healed from being ignored by me...or overindulged by me.
------------
If I ever made you feel less than or not good enough… I am deeply sorry and ask you to please forgive me.
May the LORD set you free from working so hard to please me when nothing ever would.
May the LORD set you free from trying to get from me what I never had to give you... I’m so sorry.
May the LORD set you free from blaming me for failing you... not because I need that, but so you can be free:
AND 'be' creative in ways you have not yet imagined!!!
MAY the LORD give you all the things I was unable or unwilling to give you!!!
MAY the LORD guide you in ways I never could and grant you peace!!!
MAY the LORD free you from the effects of my addictions, my anxieties and my anger!!!
MAY the LORD free you from feeling that you have to always be perfect or that you have to be what I expected you to be!!!
I PRAY that GOD will help you to see that the hurt and pain I caused you came from my own childhood. It limited me, and I am so sorry if it has limited you.
I PRAY that GOD will remove from you any belief that you were not wanted…or loved.
I PRAY that you have no doubt that you are the gender you are supposed to be.
I PRAY that the LORD releases you NOW from any unhealthy bond that you may have with me…
I want you to keep all of the good that came from me, and give the garbage given to me
...That I gave to YOU...
I humbly pray that TODAY you GIVE IT ALL TO GOD, so it will not be passed down to the next generation...PLEASE!!!
MY BELOVED SON… MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER…
I love you!!! I am so proud of you!!! I am so glad you were born!!!
Take Flight, My Love AND Soar Into The Heights Of YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S Destiny For You And EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING GOD HAS ORDAINED FOR YOU!!!
IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST...Fly...LIVE and BE FREE!!!
YES...YES AND AMEN.
