My son stopped attending church a few months ago and it has been a trying time for me, as it is for any parent.
He took up smoking, although I found out he's been doing that for a number of years, off and on with his neighborhood cronies.
I have been praying my "mother" type prayer! "Lord, when my son picks up a cigarette would you please make him start vomiting. I need you to make him sick with it!" lol! I meant it!
Sunday night our pastor said to me, in front of the congregation - This week God is going to answer one of your prayers.
Last night my son was getting ready to shower and I heard him throwing up. I thought it was just some congestion because it's been running through our whole family and our church.
He just got home and was calling for me as he walked in the door. I thought he got another raise at work. He sounded so happy!
He said, "Last night I was throwing up and it wasn't from the sausage I ate for dinner. It was because I've been smoking. Last night when I threw up I said, 'God, okay, that's it. Take this away from me.' When I drove to work this morning I threw the pack out of the window and I felt the addiction leave me."
God is a prayer answering God. We have authority in our prayers!!!
Jesus, you have been real in my life and you have been good to me!!!!! How powerful to see God's Spirit working in our lives and the lives of others. Being Spirit filled is the most awesome thing in my life!!!

I have been praying this prayer off and on for a family member for almost 4 years now. Thanks for the testimony of your answered prayers!
