There must be a reason for the attack on your child’s life. Will you do all that GOD has called you to do to stand in the gap for your child? Please accept the following statement with the love that it us shared with. “Whining and worrying is not the answer.” You need the mind of GOD on how to stand for your child or children. You need GOD’S Wisdom. You need GOD’S strategy and strategies. You need to be willing to lay down your life and take on the life that GOD has called you to. You need to reject the views that the world tries to place on you. You need the mind of GOD. You need HIS POWER and HE has made this power available to you. Glory to HIS HOLY AND MAJESTIC NAME! You need to be willing to obey GOD. You need to obey GOD expecting to see HIS GOODNESS IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING. Refuse to give in. Forget the things of the past. GOD is good. Expect good. Give HIM your all. Do what it takes to be renewed in your mind so that you think like GOD. Thinking like GOD should lead to acting like GOD and this should be our desire. Be shaped by GOD’S WORD and expect to experience GOD ORDAINED results in, regarding, concerning, pertaining to and about your life and the live of the youth and young adults who you are standing in the gap for.
GOD IS LOVE
“7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” I John 4:7-:8 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
LOVE NEVER FAILS
“4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” I Corinthians 13:4–:13 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” I Timothy 6:12 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“Wisdom’s Call
8 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O people, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.” Proverbs 8:1-:11 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
Psalm 1
“1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.” Psalm 1:1-:6 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
