Yes, it can, because the devil doesn't want you to speak God's truth!  By the time you are drawn by the Holy Spirit to step out by faith to fulfill your calling, you understand this is very possible, so do not have any fear.

I'm going through this right now.  Over the past few weeks, right after I announced my journey into sharing the Gospel of Jesus online, the enemy began attacking my husband and I spiritually.  That is also why I have not been online, due to the attacks but I'm posting now here and also on my youtube channel again, beginning today, Thursday, September 4, 2025.  

     Most of the attacks have been coming from a neighbor.  Without sharing any personal information, it has been difficult and we have had to really pray for wisdom and clarity on how to handle the situation.  God wants us to love our neighbor, even the ones who are not mentally all there.  So, we took the reigns and told the devil to "get off our property and stop harassing us, spiritually."  We have authority, from God's Word to stand our ground and we did.  

     Immediately after that, I began getting pain in my back and right leg. It started very small but gradually got more and more painful. I figured it was Sciatica, went to a doctor who gave me an x-ray to confirm it. I am getting older, but I've always been very healthy so this hit me heard, literally.  Another attack to try and discourage and slow me down on my calling.  God has me and He Has you too!  

***This paragraph above is an update to my original post in September of 2025. Today is now January 24, 2026. I am officially much better with the sciatica symptoms! Thank God. 

     Remember this: God never promised that we wouldn't face attacks.  He did promise to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and other tribulations, with us. We are not alone in the fire.  He is always there to defend and uphold us every step of the way.  The way I see it, is the spiritual attack confirmed my calling. It wasn't just the neighbor. There were other things happening during the same time frame that was totally new and confusing, but we knew that God had us and we stood our ground, by faith. 

  As you probably already know, Charlie Kirk was murdered recently on September 10th, while speaking at a Utah college campus for students.  He was a 31 year old husband, father and lover of Jesus who started Turning Point USA many years ago.  He was highly influential with his faith and conservative values to people of all ages, but mostly the younger generation because that was his mission.  He was killed for the Christian values he lived out daily and spoke of.  He was not afraid to get into the trenches, share truth, and debate peacefully with those who did not agree with him. 

My son, who is 28 years old and loves Jesus, was highly influenced and inspired by Charlies work. He actually met Charlie at his church 5 years ago.  Prior to meeting Charlie, he messaged him on Instagram to share how much he appreciated Charlies inspiring words and how it changed his life and faith. Charlie responded shortly after with kind words.  

 There are literally millions of young adults who loved Charlie and his message.  I was taken back so emotionally when I found out he was murdered a couple of days ago. At the same time, I realized that Charlies message that was inspired by God, can and will continue through us all!  It's time. Time for us as a church to stand up and speak about the gospel of love, repentance and new life in Jesus for all.  It's time for us to live out or faith without fear.  After all, the followers of Jesus in the Bible died for preaching the truth and now that we are in the end times, that should not deter us, if we are truly followers and lovers of God. Are you willing to live for Jesus and die for Him?

We need to get outside of the church building and not only rely on us inviting people to church to hear the truth. We need to speak it ourselves in our homes, on the streets and where ever the door opens for us to share God's Word.  Love our neighbors also.  

Remember this:  The devil wants to separate us all. The devil is teaching the lost that WE are hateful, which is not the truth, but a horrible lie.  The devil wants to break down the foundation of families and society.   My prayer is that we as Christian believers will stand up, walk in love and forgiveness to encourage those around us to band together as communities and families.  Even if we do not agree, we need to stick together because the devil wants the lost to hate us.  We pray for their salvation and that the truth would remove the scales from their eyes!  God, allow the lost to see you and want to know you whole heartedly.  Help us, as believers to encourage and reach the lost to surrender to you, God! 

Let's do this together!

     Do you know what it is like to wake up everyday feeling so much weight on your shoulders and pain in your heart, trying to believe God to help you?  Well, I do too and I felt it for a couple of years.  The heaviness was mostly due to listening to lies from the enemy.  I listened to those lies because I had a problem drinking wine, which effects our mental capacity.  God delivered me when I came to the end of my own strength and was ready to surrender all to Him. 

It is truly amazing how God uses things we choose with our own mind to open our eyes to understanding and having faith. He is faithful and wants us to see Him and follow Him.  To draw near to Him and know Him.  Sometimes it may take a lifetime or you may get it when you are young. That's OK. It took me until I was 59 years old to see him more intimately.  My eyes are open now and I want to be close to Him. I pray that if you are not there yet, that you will get there. 

     There is no better feeling in life than to know that God is there for you and with you even in the hard times.   So many people fall away from their faith because they think that a good God would not allow bad to happen to us.   Not true. Once you have been through the fire and came out healed and changed, you then see God in a whole new light.  It changes you.  It did change me in such a positive spiritual way that is difficult to fully explain.  All I can do is share my journey and bring encouragement to anyone who needs it.  I'm not the only follower of Jesus who has experienced this. There are many. And I'm not bragging at all. My heart is humbled and I give Jesus all the glory and Credit for the change He made in me. 

     Just know this:  God is loving and merciful to all.  He loves you more than you can ever understand.  Seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself when you are ready to see Him. 

You will know that God is touching your heart, when you start questioning what you have heard about the Bible in the past.  If you have questions about the Bible or Jesus Christ,  then know that it is God who wants to reach you and show you the truth that will set you free. 

I remember when I was about 12 years old...I began going to a nice church with my mom in Long Island. It was called Love Church.  I had known friends who believed in God but I had never heard about salvation or knowing Jesus until I started going to church with my mom who had just gave her heart to the Lord.  She stopped drinking alcohol and smoking permanently after attending a weekend women's Christian retreat. 

 I remember giving my heart to Jesus because I had this "revelation" of who God was while reading the Bible for the first time.  Reading the red letters written in the Bible, (which was Jesus speaking) and something lit up in my soul.  I felt like God was speaking to me directly when I read the words of Jesus. It changed me that day and I knew God was real.

You can know Jesus is real also. I pray that God would open your eyes to Him.  Open your heart to want to be free, healed and delivered from sin. It does not matter what mistakes  you may have made over your lifetime.  What matters is that you are willing to go to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you. Repent, or turn away from your sin, begin a new life free from your past and get to know our Heavenly Father, the Holy spirit, and Jesus Christ, who are one.  

Jesus, the son of God, was sent by God to earth to die on the cross for all of our sin.  God knew before the foundation of the earth that we would never be able to go to heaven on our own good works.  We needed the blood of Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, to set us free eternally.  His love, the love and sacrifice of Jesus, is the one who gives us joy, peace and love. He gave us purpose and value that nobody can ever take away.  

Life is short.  Get to know your savior today.  He will change your life for the better. Knowing that you were not an accident and that you do have purpose on this earth, will deeply change your soul.  If you are ready to be born- again (spiritually), let us pray right now....

If you prayed that prayer to God, please feel free to email me at eileen@successfromthesource.com and I will email you a NEW BELIEVER'S Guide to Victorious Living! 

If you need prayer, please ask me in your email and I will respond.  God bless you!! I can't wait to hear from you. Let's do this together!

  There are so many reasons why our adult kids walk away from their family. Every situation is different.  In my experience with other moms who have shared with  me their story, many times it's because they walked away from their faith in God and didn't want to hear about it or be around it anymore.  Another reason is they were neglected or abused by someone early on as a child by someone other than their parents. That experience, you may not have even heard or known about because they didn't share it with you.  So, the enemy steps in when they go to expensive therapy sessions.  The therapist will ask about their childhood and it always will come back to us as parents.  The therapist does not encourage conversation with parents or healing of the relationship. They just focus on the pain that most times is not derived from the parents but they will believe that it's best to stay away from us. Now we become the enemy to our own adult kids. 

The irony of it all is our adult kids will eventually have kids and make mistakes too because that is life. Most of us do our best to raise our kids but we will all make mistakes, including our kids who want to stay away from us for our mistakes. 

The truth of the matter is, the enemy is deceitful and wants to destroy family relationships by indoctrinating people through the education system, through social media and other places over time to believe that family is not important.  That God is Not real. You don't need to get married. You can get rid of a baby in your womb if you don't want it.  Marriage means nothing.  Stay away from the moms and dads who raised you and you don't need to honor them because they must have looked at you the wrong way or punished you for skipping school one day. That we can be our own God.  

That is why I believe that we need to come together as Moms of faith to believe God for our kids.  We wrestle not against flesh and blood(people) but against spiritual wickedness in high places. This is spiritual warfare that we need to believe God to heal our adults minds and bring the Love of God back into their lives.  

    There is a deep history of divorce, witchcraft and alcoholism in my family going back a few generations that I know of.  My Mom's side had the alcohol issues and my Dad's side had witchcraft and lots of divorces when divorce was not even popular like it is now.  When it comes to generational curses, we may not know all of it in some cases, but you can still break them!  I have 4 adult kids, 2 adult stepsons and 4 grandchildren so far. I don't want the curses to continue, which is why I did some research on the matter.

I recently wrote a post about spiritual warfare where I read a book shared to me by a friend and this book, written by Bern Zumpano,  published in 1999.  So, even though I understood spiritual warfare for  many years, I'm using his information which is organized in such a way for me to share and make it easier for others to understand. 

There are multiple scriptures in the Bible that explain our authority, as believers, to pray effectively.  With faith and understanding of our God given authority, we will have more success.

Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth, will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

These are only 3 basic scriptures where Jesus is talking to his disciples giving us spiritual authority while praying. There are many more that I'll share in future posts but I'll start with these 3 today.

I believe that my Mom is the first generation to stop the curse. She was delivered many years ago and never went back. I do not believe that she prayed to remove the generational curse though, so I am  doing it now. My father is not a Christian as of today so any generational curses do need to be removed also.  

1. Understand the reality of curses spoken of in the Bible.  

2. Sin opens the door to demonic curses. As unbelievers, we live in sin without the redemption of Jesus, so it will continue until we personally get saved and remove it.

3.Understand that when we do get saved, it is our spirit that is set free from sin through the blood of Jesus, dying on the cross and raised from the dead. His gift was a true sacrifice for all of us who accept it, confess and turn away from our sin.

4.  Our soul is not saved. Basically, our thoughts have to be renewed daily by asking God to renew our mind(soul)  so we do not listen to lies of the devil who only wants to kill, steal and destroy us. He does not have the power once we surrender our mind and thoughts to the Holy Spirit daily because we love God.  Deliverance comes when we truly believe the Word of God is TRUE.

5.  God gave us the authority in the Spirit realm to break power of curses in our family.

6. We want to obey God because that is where our blessing comes from.

7.  Respond to the devil by Ignoring those thoughts that you know are not from God! Do not fear.   

8.  Live life with expectation of God's goodness and Honor God in everything we do. 

                                                                                                                                            Prayer for Breaking Generational Curses

 Have you noticed the news about Islamic religion is spreading quickly across America?  How the mayor of  Dearborn, Michigan told a Christian resident that he wasn't welcome in that city? Did you know that the Islamic religion leaders(Islamic terrorists) have a mission to take over the world? There are thousands of Christians in Nigeria right now, being murdered every month and all over the world but we don't hear about it. The news is silent. School shootings and violence are way up too.  

I am very disturbed by all that is going on here and around the world.  It is awakening my faith, questioning my Heavenly Father what we need to do as Christians.  We love all people and this country has religious freedom. This is good but if any "religion" that has a foundation of violence and hatred toward non believers (infidels) like Christians and Jews here in America, then we need to get involved peacefully and prayerfully with strategic intervention.  The church has been stuck within the four walls of the church building for many years. Obviously, there are a few that get out on the street and preach the gospel but most of us have not.  

The assassination of Charlie Kirk last month has brought about a revival of believers to get out and share our faith. Many have given their hearts to the Lord for the first time, or came back to their faith. Encouraged by Charlie's work, dedication to having peaceful conversations about life, politics and His faith.  I literally freaked out from shock when I heard that he was shot while he was doing his ministry work on campus. The Holy Spirit of God is stirring us up, because it is way past time for us to mobilize and gather in public spaces to share the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

When I was a young teenager learning for the first time about the "end times" and Jesus coming back one day, it literally seemed like it was so far in the future that it would happen after I died of old age.  Now that I just turned 59, It feels like it will be much sooner than what I ever believed.  The sign of the times is here.  The news of digital currency and Christian persecution spreading deeper throughout the world are just 2 examples. My prayer is that the church would wake up, and ask God for fearless courage.  

There is so much evil going on in this world and in America, and we need to wake up!  I'm awake. I know because my Mom passed away in April of this year and it hit me hard.  She was a good mom and she became a Christian which in turn, opened the door for me to get saved and changed my life forever. I'm so grateful for that.  Her passing motivated me to seek God and surrender everything to Him. God delivered me from alcoholism and took the heavy weight and pain from my estranged adult kids. God set me free and now I know God has a calling on my life to share my testimony and encourage other Moms and families to trust our Heavenly Father.  My message is, Let's do this together!  

                                                                                                                                                                               

        Trusting God can sometimes be difficult.  We pray and pray for God to do something really important and we don't see Him answering us.. No matter what is going on or not going on and you are disappointed, it can be hard to have faith. But what is faith?  How can we have faith and trust God?  Faith is trusting our God who we can not see but we believe that He is a good God. Faith IS believing when you do not see results in your timing.  Remember, God is working even when we do not see it!  

        The irony of it all, is in life, God brings us through "fire" of trials and low places so we can move out of it eventually, learn from it and we will SEE why He did it, once we get through it. That is a promise. I've been there and I know beyond a shadow of any doubts that God is faithful and will do it. But, if for some reason He doesn't do it at all, we will also understand why... when we draw near to Him.  I know it's not always easy but God is the creator of our universe and He created us with purpose and a plan.  He also created us with FREE will to choose our steps. He wants us to go to Him for wisdom so we will make wise choices but He does not make us do anything.  

        Remember, God is not Santa Claus.  You don't wish for things from God and not ever have a relationship with Him. He wants us to draw near to Him and learn who He is and what He desires of  us. A relationship with Him, not just, "Answer my prayer now please.." Be patient and wait on the Lord.

        God is faithful and gracious. He is merciful and loves us more than we could ever imagine. Learn to trust Him in your most difficult times and He will be with you in the "fire". He walks with us and comforts us while we are going through it. He will never leave us.

      ***Please watch and tell me what you think about it.  It's my testimony how God set me free from alcohol in an amazing way!  That is why I know I'm called to share my faith in

Jesus Christ and His Love for all of us.  I'm just a nobody Mom, Grandmother of 4 and wife to an amazing husband for 23 years.  I'm not trying to get famous. I want to

encourage and support other Moms and grandmothers of faith who may be struggling in parenting, marriage and family relationships.  

     This photo is of my kitchen floor about 7 years ago. I woke up to it and didn't remember how it happened.....it turns out, I drank too much wine that night and for some reason, 

pulled out every single draw completely onto the floor.  This woke me up!  I was totally embarrassed and humbled that I would actually do that while I was intoxicated.  What if I decided to go into my car?? I could have easily killed myself or someone else.  Yet, it took me about 4 more years before i finally said, enough is enough!.

 I came to the end of my rope and begged God to help me stop. I surrendered completely and God set me free completely.  That was on May 1, 2025, just 2 weeks after my 84 year old Mom passed away. She was a big part of my decision to finally stop drinking. First I needed to honor my God and then honor my Mom's memory.
