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 your children. Do your part
and trust Him to do His. He will bring them back from the land of the
enemy!
