Protecting Our Children

A few years ago I bought this book called Protecting Your Children in Dangerous Times by Kellie Copeland Kutz.  I didn't have any children yet, but was interested in making sure I did my part to help take care of my nieces and nephews.   Since the birth of our youngest son, I have been lead to pick up this book again.  I am being reminded of why I pray the way I do.  There is also a prayer at the back of the book that I now pray over all of my family, friends and God's children everyday.  As I am in the process of re-reading this book, I thought sharing some of what I am learning might help someone else out there protect their children in these dangerous times.

First, you want to get the book. You have to read it for yourself to get what you might need for your specific situations.  You can order it from Kenneth Copeland Ministries at 1-800-600-7395.  Ask for customer service and tell them you want item #307787.  The paperback version is $9.99 plus $2.00 s&h for delivery in 5-7 business days.

What I've learned so far from Kellie:

1. Cover your family in the blood of Jesus through prayer
2. Pray morning and night for your family
3. Your family is protected from all tactics of the enemy through prayer
4. You do not have to fear for your children when you cover them in prayer
5. Angels are at your command to do as you pray

I have also learned a few other things from my walk with God.  One morning I was in a rush and getting ready to put the baby in his car seat and run some errands.  I had not prayed yet and thought to myself that I would pray when I got back.  I had just finished that thought and took a step toward the car seat when I heard, audibly, "It is treacherous out there."  I knew in an instant that the Holy Spirit was telling me to decide if I wanted to risk the safety of my family or go ahead and cover them now. 

Since that morning, I have been engaging in prayerful protection of my family every day.  I don't always spend the same amount of time on this vital ministry to my family, but I make sure I cover us each and every day. 

This is what I am lead to do daily:

1. Pray in the morning before anyone leaves the house and at night for my family, friends, ministries, etc.
2. Cover everything that matters to me in the blood because if it matters to me it matters to God
3. Anoint my family with Holy oil morning and night
4. Bind up every demonic opposition and hindering force arrayed against all I love, get specific, you know the ailments, ungodly living and practices that afflicts those you love
5. Cover every prayer in the blood of Jesus and seal it in the name of Jesus as this is protection for your prayers

I'm sure this sounds way out there for some.  It sounded way out there when I first learned it too.  Nevertheless, it works.

Peace be with you...
