Equipped to Fight . . . and Win!

By Rene Shute
Thank God! The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought unto the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:4, 5).

As moms, we are acutely aware that the enemy of the souls of our children “walketh about seeking whom he may devour;” seeking to steal the lambs from the fold. But we are NOT ignorant of Satan’s devices, so we keep the weapons of our warfare in constant use. With our sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, we go to war praying THE WORD over our children; and speaking those precious promises as reality in their lives at that very moment. We are indeed calling those things which be not, as though they were.

Moms, pray such promises as:

“The Lord shall give His angels charge over (name your children), to keep them in all their way . . . a hedge of protection is built about them to keep them from harm . . . the Lord will never leave them nor forsake them . . . He is their ever present help in time of trouble . . . He will calm the troubled waters of their souls. The Lord is leading them in the path of righteousness . . . they are following, in Jesus Name! His blood covers them . . . His banner over them is love . . . His word is a light on their pathway, a lamp unto their feet. They shall run the race of life and not be weary . . . they shall mount up with wings as eagles, rising victoriously above the evil spirits that would hinder their spiritual and emotional stability. I know in whom I believe and am persuaded that He is able to keep (name children) whom I am committing into His hands today.” My children walk in safety and victory… IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS! Amen.
