cheap shot on Laura

So, Burt and Laura talked to nights ago. He laid into her. It was hurtful and painful. He really took some hard shots at her.

Laura has started calling her dad, Taylor. I have never really heard it like this before. It’s always been “daddy”.

The tongue has the power to give live or death.

Proverbs 10:31
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut out.

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Proverbs 12:18
There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

Whatever spirit lies on Taylor is on Burt. It is a cynical and destructive spirit. It curses and seeks to wound with the tongue. This is the source of Taylor’s cancer. I expect that we will see his cancer return. Taylor must repent of this before permanent healing can come.

Laura wants to cut Burt out of her life forever. She doesnt want to endure a third hardship and healing process. I cant blame her, but it would seem that this is her cross. It would also seem that she is the one piece of light shining on two very dark souls.

Lord, I pray Your strength and healing upon Laura. I pray that Your light shine through her to Burt and Taylor. I ask that You bless them both and break off the spirit that binds their hearts. I cancel the curses placed upon Laura and  seal her in Your blood, Jesus.

Bring freedom, Lord. You come to set the captives free.

Use us.

Show me how to love Laura in this and to love Burt & Taylor.
