Psalm 127:3 Look, children are an inheritance from יהוה, The fruit of the womb is the reward.
Our children do not belong to us and they are of YHWH. We have been studying many years about how to raise a child in the ways of YHWH and when we think we know we again are confronted with the fact that our children have been so protected by us that we haven't given them the spiritual tools for them to widstand the attacks from the enemy. As a boy scout I remembered the motto "be prepared" that we repeated and as we learned skills we felt better prepared for "wilderness survival" . I never understood because it was always a boys thing to keep us busy so we did not go to the streets and for the "law of the scouts" to make us better citizens. Now as we raise 2 teens I find myself looking to see if they can hold their testimony and the instructions of YHWH we have taught them. It is time for the test. The real thing. We usually think of peer presure, or culture or maybe society but we are about to let them experience the real thing. A battle they never fought before against a clever enemy that will tempt them with fun, money, action, pleasures, love of flesh, selfishness, ect. You know what I mean, we say we already experienced that without knowing that the enemy we encounter during our teens has more weapons today that when we where growing up. Now he meet them in chat rooms, text messages, music with sensual lirics, movies that are misrated, videos, and every technology available to Satan. It is like an enemy with better weapons, biotech, infrared and heat seeking missiles. Now it is harder to hide from the influence of the world. They now restle with Principalites and rulers of darkness with practice and have become experts in counterfeiting to deceive and lead our children unto worldy lusts and wickedness.
Ephesians 6:12 Because we do not wrestle against fleshandblood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies.
A roaring lion with generations of practice catching the more elusive pray. As a dog trainer for 15 years we learned about predators like wolves and learned that when they hunt they seek for the young and weak. Lions do the same they seek and search for the one that has the less speed or weight to devour. They first hide and crouch hiding where they can not be seen. Waiting for the right moment. Little by little. They wisper quietly. When we used to breed chicken we learned that the rats would come and breathe from outside the cage and the chicks would come closer to them seeking the heat at night and then they would bite them until they bled to death and they could pull them out. I know, sounds cruel, but that cruel is the enemy with our children. He comes to take them from our control and instructions. Are they prepared?
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Our job is to prepare them and bless them. They need the protection from YHWH and if we love them we will bless them continusly. I grew up in a culture that we asked a blessing from all our relatives. We would say "Bendicion" which means blessing and they would respond "Dios te bendiga y te cuide" or "God bless you and guard you". Today after seeking answers and listening my former baptist pastor bash this practice as catholic and non scriptural I have searched it and narrow it down to our Serphadic heritage. Today when my kids come and kiss me good night and when look at them growing so fast I say this prayer. They need YHWH more than when we grew up. Please bless your children. There are ruff days ahead. "Be prepared and prepare them"
Num 6:24-26 "יהוה bless you and guard you; יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favour to you; יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you Shalom." ’
