Weep Over Your Children

Several weeks ago we were in a church service. It was the end of an altar call and I had this strong urge to go get my children and pray over them. I was fighting the Holy Spirit pretty bad. I was too scared to act upon what I felt in the Spirit. I know, I know, I'm working on it! Shame on me, I know! :(
Anyways, I felt in the Spirit to have prayer called for all the children. I wanted to ask pastor to have prayer for the children and share with him what the Lord laid on my heart, but I froze. I was shaking! The Lord was telling me to weep for your children now...while they are still with you. While you can still bring them to church! Once they are older and on their own things will be different and the weeping we do NOW matters! Even when they are babies!

Nothing is more important than our children making heaven!!! It is easier to teach them and train them up when they are young! They are looking up to us as a model as well! We have a responsibility as parents to teach our kids the truth and to lead them! If we don't the fall right into the world! If you have dedicated your baby's to the Lord, you have a job to do! You have a commitment to uphold!! They are not our baby's anymore! They have been borrowed to us for a short time!! Oh, how I am preaching to myself!!! Every action we take! Every response we make! Every word we say! Every fruit we bear! Every attitude we portray...our children see and will do!! I want me children to be better than me! I want me children to know the truth and to jump in both feet and save themselves a whole lot of regret, pain and grief from effects of sin! I am still recovering and the Lord is still healing and revealing things to me and I've been in this thing for 7 years. I've had the Holy Ghost for 11 or so years.

This all made me think about a lady at Ladies Conference who was telling a story of someones child who at 11 years old turned away from the Lord and never came back! I believe its been decades now and he still hasn't came back. I could have it wrong. The woman is in ministry and has done all she has known to do. The Lord finally said to her, her son is in His hands and to let Him take care of it. Could you imagine!?

Those poor Momma's who have to weep in the altars for their children who are backslid. They have to weep for their baby's souls without them being there! I can't imagine!!! My heart grieves for them!!!

I hope this stirs someones Spirit for their children! Build up those prayers for your babies now! Pray for the future..all of it! Pray for their spouse, children, job, where they will live, how they will act, respond, think, desires, be faithful, loyal, favor...on and on and on!! Plead the blood over them! Anoint them! Fast for them!! Trust me I'm preaching to me!! We don't know what the future hold for our children! We don't have to fear, but we do need to be in urgent prayer for them!! We are definitely living in perilous times! Our children will be here longer than us! What will they be left with or full of!?

And if the Lord tells you to do something.....DO IT!!! Even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone!! We aren't going to grow until we do!!
