How to Stop Giving License to Devil to Attack Your Children
Zip your mouth.
If you don’t have anything good to say, choose not to say.
Don’t speak the obvious — “You will never change” “You are so disorderly” “You are a failure”.
That’s you giving license to the devil to destroy your child. And, isn’t your child already hearing it from the world and getting wounded?
And pleaseeee…. Don’t remind them of their past failures. That incident where they let you down, that moment when that addiction was uncovered and it broke your heart, that moment where they failed in the eyes of the world. Hey, imagine God starts doing it to us? Where would we go?
Don’t give license to the devil by speaking their past over them again and again. Refuse to articulate the plans of the enemy.
Participate in a superior blessing, and the way you participate in a superior blessing is by speaking what God speaks over your child.
My husband Derrick lived a prodigal life as a youth, bound in addictions, drinks and parties. Coming from a disciplined and godly family, this was heart-breaking for his parents, especially his mother. Derrick knew what he was doing was wrong, but he was bound. Night after night when he would come home, already broken and dejected that he was a disappointment to his parents, his mother would be at the door and call out to him with tears in her eyes, “My son, you are a mighty evangelist”.
Those love-filled words would pierce him like arrow, but he still kept smoking and drinking and going to parties. But his mother’s confession didn’t change. And there came a day when Derrick encountered Jesus and completely surrendered his life to him.
And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, That I may plant the heavens, Lay the foundations of the earth, And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
(Isaiah 51:16)
In heaven there is no temptation and no sickness, no addiction. According to the above Scripture, you can plant heavens in your children’s lives! When you speak the words of God, you will see that heaven manifest in your child.
It’s never too late to change.
Ah, may I declare it together with you: My children will outdo me in pursuing Jesus and walking with Him. My children will love Jesus and do great exploits for Him!
