Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house (Matthew 12:29).
Silent faith is dead faith. For faith to operate, you must DO SOMETHING. Confess your faith out loud. Speaking the Word gives life to faith. Speaking the Word binds the devil from operating in these precious children's lives.
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:8-10).
Faith brings victory. Faith brings God on the scene. Faith moves mountains!
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4).
Get in the Bible and find out everything it has to say about the young people you care about. Then begin to confess what the Word says into their lives. Say what the Bible says about them, instead of what the television and the world say about this final generation.
At every opportunity, let the children you care about hear you speaking words of faith, words of power and words of strength over them.
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22).
Parents, speak the Word of God to your children and stop depending on the church and the Christian schools to do everything for you. You can send your child to every Christian school in America, but you are risking your child's eternal soul if Christian values are not reinforced in your home.
Take these confessions of the Word of God and insert the names of the children you are guarding in prayer in the blank spaces.

PRAYER
God is looking for people who believe the Word, know the truth and are ready to do spiritual battle in prayer.
He has brought you along in the fullness of time to stand in the gap for the final generation. This is an awesome responsibility. Are you ready?
... and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
(Esther 4:14)
If you are going to guard our precious heritage, you must KEEP YOURSELF STRONG. Don't feed your spirit the junk of the world. Develop a personal relationship with the Father by feeding your spirit with the Word of God, praying in the spirit and spending time in fellowship with Him.
Don't ever lay your head on your pillow at night without raising a prayer covering over yourself:
"God, I give you my mind. My mind will think only thoughts of blessing tonight. I commit my mind into your hands. No force from without may attack my mind while I sleep, for Father,
