Too many Christian parents today are wasting time worrying about their children.
Years
ago, Gloria and I saw the devil trying to get a foothold in our
children's lives, so one weekend we got our concordance and four or five
translations of the Bible. We began to search out scriptures and write
out agreement prayers concerning them.
We tore into the devil with
the Word of God and started saying, "Thank God, our children are not
going to hell. Thank God, they are taught of the Lord and great is their
peace!" Instead of walking the floor and worrying about the problem, we
walked the floor and praised God for the solution.
Things didn't
change instantly. We still had to go through some tough times, but the
Word began to turn things around. Today, our children are serving God
with all their hearts.
If your kids are headed for trouble, don't
waste time worrying. Start believing! Get the Word working in their
lives. Bind the devil with it and tell him he can't have them. Then
follow the instructions in Matthew 9:38: "Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest, the he will send forth laborers" into the field who can
reach your children. God knows who they'll listen to, and He knows how
to bring those people into your children's lives at just the right time.
Grab
hold of God's Word, refuse to let go where your children are
concerned—and sooner or later, that Word will grab hold of them.
