Promises to Claim for Your Children - Part 4

Warfare for Parents - Prayers for your Teenager 

- Isaiah 66:22

Do you often notice your teenager(s) making decisions which reveal self-centered (instead of Christ-centered) values? Do your teens lack spiritual interest? Are they failing to spend time with God to develop a real relationship with Him? Maybe your teen is far more interested in finding a boy or girl friend than getting to know God. Maybe your teen wants to get his/her personal "list" accomplished and is more focused on that than on developing a real relationship with God... If so, you may worry that maybe your teen doesn't have a personal interest in Eternal Life.

If these concerns have crossed your mind, you can stand in the gap for your teenager today. Remember:

"So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void (empty, or having failed), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."  Isaiah 55:11   

God Promises to preserve your name and the lives of your descendants, so that your children will be with Him in the New Earth.

"For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain." Isaiah 66:22

Prayer to pray today:

Dear Heavenly Father,

You have promised to make a new heaven and a new earth. All who dwell in this new, sinless place will have inherited Eternal Life. You said that You would establish my name and my seed to remain in Your Presence forever. I claim this promise now on behalf of _________________ (name your children). Please, Father, do all that Heaven can do to save my children, to give them a heart for You, and to preserve them - not only in this world - but for all Eternity. In Jesus' Name I ask it, Amen.

Promises to Claim for your Children - Part 3

Warfare for Parents - Prayers for your Teenager 

- Psalm 112:1-2

Have you felt that your teens just aren't living up to their calling in Christ? Are they spiritually weak instead of mighty in Spirit? This is the quintessential power promise to pray for your children. Remember, God promises to fulfill His Promises!

"So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void (empty, or having failed), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."  Isaiah 55:11   

God Promises to bless your children and to make them mighty! This promise is made to the parent who fears God and delights in His Commandments.

"Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His Commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed." Psalm 112:1-2

Prayer to pray today:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Today, and every day of my life, I choose to fear You and reverence Your Holy Name.  In my Saviour's Name I ask it, Amen. I repent for the times that I have failed to delight in Your Commandments, or to follow Your Will. Please cleanse me from this unrighteousness just now and impute to me Christ's perfect Record.  I also choose to delight in Your Commandments from this day forward, by Your Grace. Having addressed the conditions of this Promise, i now claim it on behalf of my children __________________ (name them). Please Father, deliver ____________________(children's names) from spiritual and moral weakness. Bless them and raise them up to be mighty in Spirit - to the glory of Your Holy Name. I ask this today, for You are faithful Who has promised. Amen.

Promises to Claim for Your Children - Part 2

Warfare for Parents - Prayers for your Teenager 

- Isaiah 65:23-24

Each day this week, I promised to share with you a powerful Bible promise to claim for your children. I invite you to join me in praying. As you do, you will be able to rest in God. He will be at work in the lives of your children - in answer to your prayers.  How do I know? Because God's Promises cannot fail. In fact, He has PROMISED that His PROMISES will always accomplish whatever it is He has Promised to do:

"So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void (empty, or having failed), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."  Isaiah 55:11   

Do your teens have problems with rebellion? Are they acting in such a way as to bring trouble into your life and home even though you have raised them to know better? Today's promise is just what you need...

God Promises that you will not labor in vain, training your children up right, only to lose them to the typical teenage troubles:

"They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.  And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65:23-24

Prayer to pray today:

Dear Heavenly Father,

You have promised that I will not labor to train my children up right, and have that labor be for nothing. I recognize that I am far from perfect, as a parent. I acknowledge my many sins and mistakes. But, I ask You to cleanse me of these things and to count me - today - among those who are the "blessed of You". You have promised that my seed will not be brought forth for trouble, but that the blessing You have graciously extended over my life will also be given to my children. Please grant me this promise today, on behalf of ______________ (name your children). In my Saviour's Name I ask it, Amen.

Promises to Claim for Your Children - Part 1

Warfare for Parents - Prayers for your Teenager 

- Proverbs 11:21

As a mother of a daughter in high-school and a son who's in college, I have to say that the necessity of praying for my children has only increased as they grow.

My children are good people. They do well in work and school. They are loving and talented. But the temptations and struggles they face are pretty serious at times. And the choices they make have increased the grey in my husband's and my hair, on more than one occasion. At their more mature ages, my husband and I must watch them make their own choices - some successfully, and some with serious repercussions. There's only one way to have peace of mind regarding my kids - I need to stay on my knees in prayer for them. 

How is it for you? Do you also have older children who need prayer? If you have concerns for

the choices your teens make, for the relationships your teens choose, for the temptations your teens face, or for the salvation of your teens - this next blog theme is for you.

Each day this week, I will share with you a powerful Bible promise to claim for your children. I invite you to join me in praying. As you do, you will be able to rest in God. He will be at work in the lives of your children - in answer to your prayers.  How do I know? Because God's Promises cannot fail. In fact, He has PROMISED that His PROMISES will always accomplish whatever it is He has Promised to do:

"So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void (empty, or having failed), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."  Isaiah 55:11   

Hell's plans for your children really can be thwarted! Join me this week in hitting your knees in targeted, Promise-empowered, Hell-shattering prayers for your children! Here's the first Promise to claim - the first blessing to pray for:

God Promises to Deliver your children - even from the best-laid plans of Hell itself:

"Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered." Proverbs 11:21.

Prayer to pray today:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I can see many ways in which the forces of evil have laid terrible plans to destroy _______________ (name your children). The evil entertainment, ungodly relationships, and destructive temptations have a soul-destroying effect on my children. In fact, I believe, unless they are protected and delivered that they will be destroyed. Right now, Father, as Job prayed for his children, claiming the Blood of the Lamb over them, I claim the Blood of Jesus Christ over myself and my children. I ask You to clothe me in Christ's Righteousness, just now. And I claim Your Promise that even though hand is joined in hand, the wicked will not be unpunished. But You will deliver my seed, for I am claiming Your Promise in Proverbs 11:21 - and Your Word cannot return unto You void. You have Promised to do this. I praise You for this Promise and I claim it right now on behalf of __________________ (name your children). In my Saviour's Name I ask it, Amen.
