What happens to a people when they have become numb to the works of darkness?

 

When we have not been taught to study the enemy well and the many mentions of counterfeit gods lurking throughout all of the scriptures.

 

Over time and generations those same false gods have returned and crept into the church to wreak havoc on people. With each comes demonic entrance.

 

Perhaps many are saved but many are not yet free. We do not know what we do not know.

 

Partaking from the tables of idol worship and participating in witchcraft rituals and believing no harm shall follow is a delusion.

 

That fortune teller booth that seemed so fun in that moment opened a welcoming door to demonic activity.

 

Those paranormal shows serve as an open doors into your home.

 

That Ouija board to summon the dead, DID…and now we play musical chairs with a very real darkness we don’t know how to handle.

 

The old CS Lewis Screwtape Letters writing is one to be given time once again in our modern day generation. He unusually pens the reality of an army under the headship of Satan. Fitted with ranks and platoons we see a very organized enemy glad that we have been rocked to sleep by a glossy, but powerless, gospel not in line with the Word of God.

 

How might we prepare our children for a war we do not yet understand has now knocked on our own door.

 

Without the power of God and the anointing that breaks the yoke, tell me are we preparing our kids for a battle that is as much theirs as it is ours?

 

Jesus in them is the answer. The power of the Holy Spirit upon them is necessary. Their understanding of the authority of Jesus given to them is what will help them fight fearlessly.

 

We must stop coddling the people. Time is at hand and the hour is approaching for them to engage in war.

 

You may not want this war, but it will be yours nonetheless.

 

Teach the people how to fight with Christ. Show them the dangers of dabbling in darkness. Have the hard conversations. Let them learn the meat that they might advance past the milk.

 

Call them to learn the power of prayer. The real partnership of Heaven on earth. The supernatural life meant for them to live…right now.

 

Move them into the Upper Room that they might become all they were designed to be and be filled with the Spirit of God.

 

Let the redeemed become what we once were.

 

A force to be reckoned with where those who had wholly surrendered to Christ were not afraid to say so come life, or death.

 

Proverbs 31:10

Who can find a virtuous woman…

(Bride of Christ)
