Shalom,
Today I want to share again from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland's "From Faith To Faith" devotional.
Your Children Released
From Captivity
Thus saith the Lord;
Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall
be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they [your children] shall come again from the
land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy
children shall come again to their own border. Jeremiah 31:16-17
Jesus has redeemed
us from the curse. Many of us have been well taught about that redemption where
sin, sickness and poverty in our own lives are concerned. But we often fail to
realize that redemption has power over the destruction the devil tries to bring
on our children's lives as well.
Deuteronomy 28 states
the curse of the law in verses 16-68. Notice what that curse says about
children. "Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people,
and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and
there shall be no might in thine hand" (verse 32).
"Thou shall beget
sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into
captivity" (verse 41).
Many Christian parents
are still suffering needlessly under that curse. Their children are being taken
captive by drugs, alcohol and perversions. But it doesn't have to be that way!
Since Jesus broke the curse of the law, these parents have the authority in the
Name of Jesus to order Satan out of their children's lives.
Don't let the devil run
roughshod over your children! When you see the first warning signs of rebellion
in them, confess the promises of God over them and refuse to give the devil any
room to operate.
Remember, the children
don't understand the unseen forces that are coming against them. So it's your
responsibility to stand against those forces on their behalf. Exercise that
responsibility. Then take every opportunity to minister love to them.
God knows how to deliver
AMEN! Our God IS GOD! The ONE and ONLY! He IS our Saviour, Redeemer, Deliverer, Healer, restorer of all good things, and the KING of all kings and LORD of all lords! Here is Hillsong Worship with "That's The Power":
Shalom in Him!
