Recently, I’ve been listening to Christian pastors and leaders who believe we’re on the verge of a great awakening, which will introduce a revival in our nation that the upcoming young generation will initiate. I know that might seem implausible as the media shows you nothing but young protestors and children confused about their gender, but don’t be persuaded by these evil communication tactics.
Why do you think Satan is going after the children, whether to murder them through abortion, sterilize them with pharmaceutical and surgical castration, entice them with perverted sex and lifestyles at an early age, infiltrate demonic school boards, allow pornography in schools, and sexually deviant teachers? And on and on . . .
Why is Satan coming out of the closet so visibly and the Democrat party, progressives, liberals, and the President endorsing and promoting the Devil’s devious and sinister works?
Because Satan knows that God has a great plan for this upcoming generation and impotent Satan thinks he can prevent omniscient God from saving young souls and saving our nation.
Isaiah 49:24-25 assures us that Satan will never win that battle!
24 Who can snatch the plunder of war from the hands of a warrior?
Who can demand that a tyrant[a] let his captives go?
25 But the Lord says,
“The captives of warriors will be released,
and the plunder of tyrants will be retrieved.
For I will fight those who fight you,
and I will save your children.
What can we as Christians do to help God save our children in 2023?
1. Obviously, we pray for spiritual and physical protection specifically for the children in our family and altruistically the children of the world.
2. We speak the truth openly and honestly every opportunity we are given, wherever we find ourselves.
3. Don’t get discouraged. Look for places to support youth. There were thousands of young people at the 50th March for Life on January 20th. Charlie Kirk has a ministry to college age students, Turning Point USA, and when he holds a conference, again thousands of young people attend.
4. Make sure your church welcomes young people with love, teaching, understanding, and hope. One of my granddaughters is involved in Young Life and we have a Young Life group in our community led by youth leaders in our church. Youth for Christ is another great ministry.
5. Which brings me to mentoring. The next generation must learn from previous generations in ways they can relate. In other words, we need to speak their language, learn the technology they use, and be honest and loving as we help them spiritually and emotionally mature. When they’re doing wrong or sinning, we need to be willing to take them to the Bible and show them how to live according to God’s Word and not the world’s ways. Tolerating and accepting their sin is not love, it’s abuse. I write directly to parents in Praying for Your Prodigal Daughter: Hope, Help & Encouragement for Hurting Parents.
Our community has a “Timothy Discipling Ministry” for high school age youth and a twenty-one year old young woman in our church is the leader! She was a Timothy graduate herself.
6. Mentoring starts in the home with our own children and grandchildren. That’s where they should learn that God is a God of love but He hates sin and there's always lasting consequences. When I see children at Drag events my first question is, “What kind of parents would take their children to a pornographic, perverted event?”
7. If you feel led to get involved in local school boards, government, committees . . . go for it. When you see atrocities happening in schools, speak out as so many parents are doing and take action to protect our innocent children.
8. Believe that God will pour out His Spirit on our children and revival will happen!
And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. Is. 44:3b NLT
“Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. Joel 2:28 NLT
Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. Ps. 145:4 NLT
I know this might seem like an intense first newsletter for the New Year, but we’re living in intense times like none of us have ever seen before. By that I mean, evil is championed and endorsed in much of our population and its tentacles are allowed and encouraged to entrap our innocent children. But I guess when a country legalizes killing children for 50 years, then reverses that unconstitutional and unethical law, the next step desperate Satan will take is to come after our living children, the source of revival.
But we can stop the Devil just as we worked with God to save our children from abortion death, we now work with God to save them from spiritual and emotional death and teach them how to live righteous God-honoring lives that will change our world for good!
Revival is coming. Pray for it. Believe it. Save the children.
May you all have a blessed and productive 2023 as we work together About His Work!
Lord, Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? Ps. 85:6
About His Work with You,
Janet
