THIS IS WAR
BATTLE STRATEGIES FOR PARENTS ON THEIR KNEES
BATTLE ON
YOUR KNEES
War is never easy. Preparing for battle can be overwhelming. We are in the biggest and most intense war to date concerning our children. Do you know how to fight? We are not fighting against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). According to Luke 10:19 we have been given authority to overcome the powers of the enemy. We have the ability to tear down and uproot every plot, scheme, and plan of Satan coming against our children and family. Prayer changes things! It shifts atmospheres! This book is a war manual that will take you through 30 days of warfare prayers for your children and your family. Stop begging God to change a situation and start commanding the enemy to loose his grip and for God's purpose for your child's destiny to come to pass. Start declaring the promises of God, according to His word, with boldness. Roar with the Lion of Judah courage! Let's stand together on the battlefield and take back everything the devil has stolen from us. Put your armor on! This is War!
Most of us are familiar with this verse. Fear is one of Satan's most powerful weapons against this generation. I myself have had to fight anxiety and fear at different points in my life. However, Satan's most vulnerable victims of this are the youth of today. I have never seen a virus spread more rapidly than the plague of fear and anxiety. I have 5 children. I have seen all 5 deal with this demonic stronghold at times. Fear and anxiety keep us in isolation and insecurity. It makes us feel out of control. It takes our eyes off of Jesus and puts the focus on us.
This generation has fallen for the distractions, confusion, and counterfeit realities that Satan has displayed. Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44, NIV). I believe that the youth of today carry an anointing and a glory that has the power to rip Satan's kingdom apart. This is the Joel 2:28 generation that Satan is afraid of. His main goal is to kill, steal, and destroy the destiny that God has preordained for our children. Fear will keep you from trusting God. Fear creates rebellion and will put you in control instead of Jesus. Satan shudders in fear when he sees parents teaching children the Word of God and how to face the enemy with courage and boldness. Children coming out of agreement with fear makes hell tremble. Nightmares, night terrors, darkness, anxiety, and fear are not our children’s portion. Teach your children the authority they have in Christ. Teach them to don the full armor of God according to Ephesians 6. Tell them there’s power in the name of Jesus. Help them sharpen their sword by learning God’s Word. Teach them they can take every thought captive that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5, NIV).
The Lord promises us in Isaiah 54:13 (NIV) that all of our children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace. Fear and anxiety are two of Satan’s most powerful and debilitating tools to disrupt God’s plans for our lives. I am declaring today that there is a generation rising that will not bow to fear. I am declaring that anxiety has lost its grip on today’s youth. I am declaring a Lion of Judah boldness upon this generation. We will not accept fear and anxiety as a norm in today’s society any longer. We uproot, dismantle, and destroy every lie of the enemy over our children now in Jesus' name! Let’s pray.
Fear & Anxiety
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
(2 Timothy 1:7, KJV)
Father, we start this prayer by declaring Your word over our children:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”
(Isaiah 43:1-3, NIV)
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
(Psalm 56:3-4, NIV)
“The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?”
(Psalm 27:1, NIV)
“I prayed to the Lord, and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears.”
(Psalm 34:4, NIV)
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.”
(1 John 4:18, NIV)
The enemy, the spirit of fear, wants to rule over my children and the youth of today. He wants to isolate them and keep them from peace. He wants to delay the future that You, Lord, have called them to. I stand on Your promises. You have not given my child a spirit of fear but of love, power, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, NIV). My child will be anxious for nothing according to Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV). Heavenly Father, I am aware that we live in a fallen world where sin abounds. There will be dark times. I declare in Jesus' name that when troubled times come to my children, they will not fear or be dismayed. Your rod and staff will comfort them according to Psalm 23:4 (NIV). Lord, when fear creeps into the heart and mind of my child, let them seek You. Let them trust You, for You alone will deliver them from all their fears (Psalm 34:4, NIV; Psalm 56:3, NIV).
Nightmares and night terrors have no place in my home. I command every demonic power that is tormenting my children in the night to be bound in the name of Jesus. I cover my children, their sleep, and their dreams with the blood of Jesus. I declare that there are warring angels and angels of protection surrounding my children as they sleep. I declare Psalm 4:8 (NIV) and Proverbs 3:24-26 (NIV) over my children. My children will lie down in peace and have sweet sleep because You protect them.
Jesus, You are perfect love, and there is no fear in love. I declare that my child will be perfected in Your love so that fear loses its grip on their life. I decree that when my children pass through the waters of the raging river, they will not be overwhelmed. When they walk through the fire, they will not be consumed because You are the Lord their God. Though fear may come, it will fail to take root. My children have all hope and peace in God Almighty, the Great I Am. My children will carry a peace that surpasses all understanding. You will have dominion in their hearts and over their minds. I thank You for victory over fear and anxiety in Jesus' name. Amen.
