The Power Of A Mother's Touch

By Peggy Cook

The proclivities of mother's predispositions have a demand to be recognized, established, and authenticated with their own biblical principles, practices, values, and beliefs while cultivating our future generations. Since the propensities of our changing world's views of parenting, practices, and values can be identified, utilized, and influenced in the lives of children, according to Dr. Peggy Cook, there are eight vital components to conserve: 1. Word of God (Holy Bible), Life giving 2. Prayer: Life sustaining 3. Fathers: Life preserving 4. Mothers: Life receiving 5. Children: Indispensable gifts 6. Home: Blessed palace 7. Mentors: Biblical and notable examples 8. Research: Wisdom, knowledge, and application. The Power of a mother's touch will continue to be an enlightenment, illumination, and have a phenomenal impact on every man, woman, and child who embraces the insights in this book that will transition to their homes, churches, schools, and communities. My prayer for every reader: May the blessings of the Lord be upon you today, tomorrow, and forever. Be blessed! Be beautiful! Be beneficial! And let the beauty of the Lord, our God, be upon us and establish thou the work of our hands upon us. Yea the work of our hands establish thou it" (Psalms 90:17, KJV).

Acknowledgments

As a woman of excellence on a journey designed by God, I’m entrusted with the future of God’s creation of men, women, and children to teach, motivate, challenge, encourage, love, and protect according to the word of God. I’m inspired by the Holy Spirit to reach the lost by all means while utilizing the word of God as my guide as I enter into the prisons, hospitals, jails, convalescent homes, schools, churches, juvenile halls, community settings, and streets. I am also reminded while proclaiming the gospel to the lost that are affected by the clutches of sin that every person is a diamond in the rough and will shine when Jesus Christ enters their life.

To my adult children, Jacqueline, Gary, Lisa, and Mary Anne, for respecting, loving, and forgiving me while I learned the importance of becoming a godly mother.

To my family, friends, mothers, and children of God, I dedicate this message of restoration for your divine purpose and destiny.

I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread (Psalm 37:25, KJV).

I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1)

Preface

Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19, KJV)

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well. (Psalm 139:14, KJV)

Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, and non-Christian mothers are going on a journey designed by God. Over the past several years there has been reports that more and more mothers have become Christians, which represents a large number of unique women that will provide a profound effect on the now generation for the twenty-first century.

The complexity of a significant number is unrealistic, however, because of the increasing population that is based on the census data, mass news media technology, and economic forecasts. One can assume that an effective change will take place in the lives of a Christian woman’s child (ren) and society.

While mothers are on their journey of destiny of parenting that will produce exciting adventures, perilous expeditions, horrific trials, and unfavorable passages without knowing, and alone, her partner, Jesus Christ, is just a prayer away waiting to hear her cries for help with love, protection, and instructions for daily living. As the Christian mother responds to the clarion call to become a godly mother, Jesus is there equipping and empowering her with her spiritual weapon the sword (word of God) that will enable her to make a difference in the life of her child (ren).

My goal is to provide a manual for which mothers, women’s groups, child care providers, ministries, and agencies can benefit. This data is based on my own practical wisdom and experiences as a mother, grand/great grandmother of fifty plus years, Christian educator, children’s worker, and chaplain at the Los Angeles County Juvenile Halls and Camps.

The information will provide and recommend values, practices, and principles that are clearly and effectively defined to empower, enhance, and enrich the lives of our tomorrow leaders.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14, KJV

This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes

(Psalms 118:24) KJV

Chapter 1

A Christian Mother’s Journey

Introduction

The Roles and Effects That a Christian Mother Contributes to the Development of Her Children.

I will praise the God of creation for my being. I am a divine creature and representation of his glory.

Who can find a virtuous Mother? For her price is far above rubies. (Proverbs 31:10)

"Who can find a virtuous

Mother? For her price is far

above rubies." (Proverbs 31:10, KJV)

The main focus of this revelation is to remind Christian mothers that they have a mandate from God to answer the clarion call to Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).

This information will pinpoint and identify the influences and problems that have a profound impact on children’s behavior throughout their life span. The application and revelation of the word of God (Holy Bible) is the tool and main resources that a Christian mother is required to utilize in her parenting abilities.

Her children arise and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praised her. (Proverbs 31:28)

In the beginning, God created a perfect woman for a perfect man and placed within her the anatomical and physiological genetic code (DNA) to replenish the Earth. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made a woman, and brought her unto the man (Genesis 3:22).

I am also reminded of the awesomeness of God that His hand of mercy and truth will sustain Christian mothers in every season of their lives’ journey with the status as a married, single, teen, divorced, widowed, relative, or caregiver. "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee and before thou
