Parents, stand in the gap for your children, and don't give up on God!

The Bible says, "...The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16). Stand in the gap! Don't let the devil destroy your children!

Bobby and I (Zona) serve the Lord today because my dad (Norvel) stood in the gap and refused to give up when it looked as though nothing was happening. If anything, it looked as if my life was getting worse.

If your children have never known the Lord, the Bible says that they can come to know Him. Acts 16:31 says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."

If your child has known the Lord but has fallen away, he or she can come back. Jesus will love your child and accept him or her, just as He did with the prodigal son. And He will restore your child's life, just as he has restored mine. Joel 2:25, 26 says that God will restore the years that the locusts have eaten, the years that have been stolen from you.

Stand in the gap for your children, just as my father did for me, and don't give up!

Parents, I cannot stress too strongly that it is time for you to get down on your knees and get serious about praying for your children. It is time to stop talking to God about your problem and to begin talking to your problem about God.

Otherwise, your children may never come into the Kingdom of God. Pray and confess the Word of God over your children and over whatever situation they may be in.

Remember that Satan is going to try to make it look as if God doesn't hear you and that your children won't ever turn to the Lord. But remember Satan is a liar and a thief.

The Bible says that God hears your intercession (1 John 5:14-15). It's His will that everyone be saved (1 Tim. 2:1,4). Right now, Jesus is pleading your case before the Father (Heb. 7:25).
Stand in the gap. Continue there in faith, no matter how bad the situation may look. Don't waver, and don't give up. Don't let the devil have your children!
