Satan knows the Lord's ultimate plan for him. He knows his days are numbered on this planet, and he's starting to panic. He's pulling out all the stops! It's time to call a halt to this satanic onslaught.
While we may be in a spiritual war with the forces of darkness over the future of our children ... our Lord has declared to us through His prophet, Isaiah, that as we stand in covenant and fight on their behalf that no weapon that is formed against them shall prosper ... and every tongue that shall rise against them in judgment He will condemn. This is the heritage of those that serve Him! (Isaiah 54:17)
IT'S OUR TURN NOW!
I believe the tragic events in many of our high schools in recent history is our wake-up call! Too long the church has sat in deafening silence while the world has cheered itself into a frenzy of violence, immorality and crime. Our voice has been silent too long and our action far too weak.
God is looking for a people who are willing to stand up and declare that their God is stronger than the demonic forces of the hour in which they live.
One Christian martyr did. Recently her classmate pointed a gun in her face at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado and asked if she believed in God. She squared her shoulders and resolutely declared, "I do," and became America's first martyr in over a century.
FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
I believe the Lord has brought you and I together in the fullness of time to stand in the gap for this generation. The devil has had a free hand in America long enough, and it's our turn now!
God, Himself, has raised us up as a revolutionary remnant church to declare to the forces of darkness that NO WEAPON formed against the young people of our nation CAN PROSPER because we are lifting up a hedge of protection around about them that the devil cannot penetrate.
It's our turn to enthrone the King of Glory to His rightful place in America and return the worship of His name to our children and our teenagers.
So many of our young people today have no one to stand in the gap for them in prayer, but we can make a difference through the blood of Jesus, the Word of God and travailing prayer.
I'm challenging every mom and dad, grandmother and grandfather, aunt and uncle, neighbor and friend to join me in raising up a spiritual covering over the young people of this nation. It's time to draw a line in the spiritual sand and tell the demon hordes of hell, "You're not going to have this generation!"
Let's storm the gates of hell with the words of the prophet Isaiah as our battle cry:
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM SHALL PROSPER!
THE BLOOD
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt (Exodus 12:13).
Jesus became our Passover Lamb. Our heavenly Father loved us so much that He gave His Son— without sin—to be our final sacrifice.
Jesus' priesthood began when He entered the Holy of Holies and offered His blood for us ... once and for all.
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:12).
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus . . . let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled ... (Hebrews 10:19,22).
The Israelites applied the blood to their doorposts, and their entire households were kept safe.
Not only was the blood for their household, but if their neighbor did not have a lamb, it was for them also!
... they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house; and if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb (Exodus 12:3,4).
Now, when we apply the precious blood of Jesus, our Passover lamb, He speaks on our behalf. Jesus says, "Look, there's the blood. They're blood bought."
Satan shrieks in rage when he can't touch our households, which includes ALL of our relatives. He can't touch those children who are covered by the blood.
The blood is an impenetrable force against the demonic schemes of the prince of the air.
Nothing can get through the blood. Drug pushers can't get through the blood, street gangs can't get through the blood, spirits of suicide and addiction can't get through the blood!
We need to stop running around trying to please God with our socials and our charities. We cannot offer our own works; we can only offer His blood. When we offer the blood of Jesus as our covering and our plea, God sees the blood—and the blood cries mercy.
When we apply the blood of Jesus to our lives and those we care about, it immediately pleads for us from the mercy seat.
There is power in the blood!
When Satan and his demonic hordes hear you plead the blood of Jesus, they know no weapon formed against those it covers can prosper. They know God is going to answer your prayer.
When the blood is applied, all heaven rallies to the aid of those it covers. Satan cannot penetrate the prayer covering of the blood of Jesus.
LEARN HOW TO PLEAD THE BLOOD!
[We are] the elect... unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:2).
We can "plead the blood" all day long, but if we are not obedient
