Promises for your Children

Did you know that there are 65 unique and specific promises for your child from God in the Bible?

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle or someday hope to have a child of your own it is important to know that there are important promises in the Bible that are vital to the health and happiness of your children. There are things God promises to do for them if we will just PRAY and BELIEVE.

Pastor Mike Shreve wrote a book entitled 65 Promises for your child from God. This book gives you the specifics, showing you how to pray and confess the 65 Biblical pledges for your offspring in areas such as mercy, covenant, peace, salvation, spiritual growth, angelic protection, provision-and much, much more. Mike and his wife Elizabeth have two children, Zion Seth and Destiny Hope. Both of their children are true miracles from God.  The story of God’s miraculous intervention in their lives is detailed in his book. Doctors are absolutely astonished that these children are healthy and thriving. Medical science gave them no hope. Mike and Elizabeth were even encouraged to seek an alternative (abortion) with their daughter when the ultrasound showed severe abnormalities.  Steve said…”we did seek an alternative…we CHOSE to never see that doctor again and put our hope in Christ.”  They looked up every scripture on healing and started SPEAKING those promises over their unborn daughter.  He said his wife would lovingly rub her hand over her pregnant tummy each night and softly speak Psalm 138:8 over her unborn baby girl.  Psalm 138:8 says…”The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.”  The next part is going to send chills running down your spine. When the doctor delivered their baby girl, he held her up for them to see and happily exclaimed…”she’s PERFECT!”  Yes! God had perfected their daughter in Elizabeth’s wound.  There is great HEALING POWER in speaking God’s word. They named their precious miracle Destiny Hope as it perfectly described her journey into this world! THAT is the power of FAITH!  That is the power of SPEAKING God’s promises over the life of your children!ion Seth and Destiny Hope.

After listening to their amazing story I was reminded of how incredibly IMPORTANT it is for us as parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts to SPEAK these promises over our children.  Our children are growing up in a very challenging time and the devil is trying to destroy them.The rapid moral decline of our country is a direct result of Satan’s attack on our families. We cannot be passive and allow Him to prevail. We must fight back!  He cannot have our children! God’s word is our tool of protection. Jesus is the word made flesh. Each and every time Jesus was faced with a challenge and the devil spoke to Him he replied…”IT IS WRITTEN…” He didn’t try to engage the devil in conversation.  He didn’t try to use his own words.  He spoke the word of God to Him. If Jesus, the son of God, didn’t use His own words to battle Satan what makes us think we can use ours?  We can’t!  This is why we don’t win more battles!  We’re fighting with the wrong weapon! Jesus is showing us HOW to handle the challenges of life through His example.  When you face a battle PRAY God’s word. CLAIM the promises of God!  Yes, the work of Jesus is a finished work but in order for YOU and YOUR CHILDREN to walk in the blessings of that finished work you must CLAIM those promises by SPEAKING them! Say what God says over your situation!  Resist the urge to complain and speak words of doubt!  Instead, say the scripture you have memorized!  Remember, the scripture you memorize is the scripture you utilize! Rather than praying in desperation we should be praying God’s promises with conviction.  These promises encompass EVERY area of your child’s life.  I look back on my life now and I am SO grateful for a faith filled grandmother.  I truly believe that she prayed me through my younger years. 

As we know, parenting can be challenging and often times overwhelming.  But please know that God is on your side!  He has given YOU promises for your children.  Mike’s book shows you how to pray and confess the 65 Biblical pledges for your child. These promises are more than a blessing.  Praying these promises could be the pivot on which the future of your family turns.  This book is a powerful tool for parents who are seeking the face of God for miraculous changes in the life of their children.   Pastor Myles Monroe said…”Our greatest investment and contribution to the future of our planet is the quality of the children we parent.”

Equipping our children to live and prosper in the challenging times ahead requires biblical knowledge and preparation.  Our children’s future depends on how well prepared they are to face these challenges. When the devil attacks they must know HOW to go into battle.  The battle we face is a spiritual one my friends and our only weapon is the word of God!  The GOOD NEWS is that this is the only weapon we need!  God’s promises are rock solid and He has a great plan for your future that will prevail!
