"Train Them Up"

"Train up a child in the way he should go:

and when he is old he will not depart from it."

(Proverbs 22:6)

Pharaoh's daughter finds baby Moses in the bulrushes

Pharaoh was fearful of the growing numbers and the might of the Israelites, so he issued an edict that all male children born of the Israelites must be killed.  During this time, Moses was born, and his mother, a Hebrew, hid him for three months to keep Pharaoh from killing him.  When she could hide him no longer, she placed him in an ark made of bulrushes and set him among the reeds by the river bank in the hope that someone would find him and raise him up safely.  Pharaoh's own daughter came to bathe in the river, and saw the infant child floating among the reeds and she took pity on him.  She gathered him up, calling for a nursemaid.  Moses' own mother was nearby and since she was a Hebrew woman, they called her to be nursemaid to the child.  So, Moses' own mother was able to raise her child until he was weaned.  She, then, as was required, turned him over to Pharaoh's daughter to raise him in the Pharaoh's palace as her own child.

Can't you imagine that Moses' mother knew she had but a short time to train Moses in the Hebrew ways.  She poured everything she could into this little child, so that he would not leave his roots; she knew that the rest of Moses' rearing would be under Pharaoh's daughter, and he must never forget who he was and his real heritage.  She did a good job, because when Moses was full grown, he became very distressed at seeing how his own people suffered at the hands of the Egyptians.  It happened that Moses saw an Egyptian beating one of his fellow Hebrew men; he became furious at this injustice, and he killed the Egyptian who was doing the beating.  Pharaoh found out about it and sought to have Moses killed, so Moses fled to Midian in the desert and lived there 40 years until God called him to deliver His people, Israel.  

Moses

You say, "Well, I know people who have raised their children in the Lord, but they're grown now, and not living for the Lord."  I say, "It's not over yet."  I know many, and have heard accounts of people coming back to the Lord, after they were grown, because of their godly upbringing.  You, parents of wayward sons and daughters; this is for you:

  Dear Lord, I speak to the North, South, East

and West, and I say, "Give up the sons and

daughters that belong to God."  Move in the

hearts of every wayward son and daughter

of parents reading this, and stir them, shake 

them, needle them day and night; send Your 

angels to watch over them and draw them to 

Your feet, Lord Jesus.  I say to satan, "Get 

your hands off the sons and daughters that

belong to God; in the name of Jesus Christ, 

I command you to loose them, flee from them,

and GO from them NOW, by the name of 

Jesus Christ, the Blood of Jesus Christ, and

the Word of Jesus Christ."  Lord, let the sons

and daughters surrender to You now; let the cords

of conviction remove them from all sin, evil, and 

unsavory conduct; let sleep be far from them until

they come to You in humble contrition; draw 

them by Your love, Your power, and Your 

hand.  Thank You, Lord; we call it done, in

Your mighty Holy name!  Amen.

You say, "That was nice, but it was just a prayer."  Prayer moves mountains, shakes continents, stirs hearts, sets up and tears down, heals, delivers, convicts, humbles, and performs what it was sent to do  ...  if you believe!  Prayers will seek out and bring home those sons and daughters; prayers will protect them and turn them.  You say, "But, my son or daughter is too far gone now; you don't know what all they're into."  God knows, prayer knows, you know, and that's enough!  You may have to lay on your face for several nights rebuking the devil from them, until you know that it's done.  This is a battle; it's a battle for your loved one's soul, and you may have to commit to prayer and fasting in a drastic way  ...  and when you do, you will see a difference and a result  ... 

My daughter told me that when she was a teenager, and after she moved out and in with her girlfriend and her grandmother because she was mad at me, she went with some people to a club, but she could not go in; the other kids got mad at her, because she was so torn pacing back and forth, but could not go in.  What my daughter didn't know was that I had been on my face praying, rebuking the devil, commanding, and fighting for her day and night for a couple of days, and then I felt a "release" and I knew it was done.  I saw no results, but I knew it was completed and the battle was won! Later, she told me what was happening while I was "warring" in the Spirit!  It works!  And, we never stop praying for our kids, even when they're 60 and we're 80; they'll always be our little ones  ...  and God's little ones  ...

Guardian Angel

The Guardian angels are tremendously busy today because our families are being attacked, teenagers are being seduced, marriages are fighting to survive, people of all ages are targets to be pulled away from God, because time is short.  But, God's Word will not return void; it will accomplish the assignment; the North, South, East and West will most definitely GIVE UP! 

We must train up our children, parents, in the ways of the Lord; teach them to memorize scriptures of the Bible, so if they hide it in their hearts, they might not sin against Him, Jesus Christ our Lord.  If we do this, the Bible says that when they're old, they will not depart from it  ...  and you can count on it!
