In my research to prepare for this session, I asked an individual who will remain anonymous a question? How much of themselves they saw in their kids, good and bad, they responded 40-60% who they are good and bad of themselves they see in their children. While I was listening for the answer, I heard the spirit of the Lord say. Why do you think Job sacrificed the way he did?
In the book of Job, we see where Job being concerned for his children offered up sacrifices for them daily. The very thing that Job feared about his children had come upon him, His children had succumbed to an attack of the enemy, and in Job’s understanding, it was because of their actions and a lack of reference to God.
Although my focus tonight is really on minor children nevertheless, Job prayed for his adult children this scripture establishes the concept of parental coverage.
Job 1:5
And it was so, that when the days of their feasting were ended, Job sent and sanctified them, and rose early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
One of the biggest conundrums of my life was understanding the spiritual health of our minor children. When we begin to look at the spiritual existence of our kids we must realize they will become adults with the issues we see now. Please keep in mind many of the issues we are born with come with us at conception
Exodus 20:3,4
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
I remember as a young lad not wanting to be alone in my room because it was scary, I was afraid of the dark and this is the constant refrain of many children today in their formative years, and it is legitimate because that is the beginning of the kingdom of darkness establishing a foothold in their lives. Now as an adult, a researcher, a biblical exegete, and a deliverance minister my eyes are wide open to the spiritual assault on our children. This assault by the kingdom of darkness is to establish a foothold of darkness in their lives.
The early childhood indoctrination of our children and desensitizing them to these malevolent beings and forces is an ongoing campaign. It is spearheaded by Media, Disney, Nickelodeon, and networks of the like. Social media, Facebook, Ticktock, Snapchat, Instagram. The video game industry, Academia with its assault on the biology of gender and the suspension of biological facts when it comes to how one feels regarding gender. They have advanced the theory of evolution instead of intelligent design They’ve already succeeded by removing the Judeo-Christian God from School. The best thing a parent can do is not only teach their kids to pray and to be aware of this spiritual inculcation but always cover them in prayer.
Parental Spiritual Authority
Numbers 30:3-5 KJV
3 If a woman also vows a vow unto the Lord, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth; 4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 5 But if her father disallows her on the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the Lord shall forgive her because her father disallowed her.
This is the framework to disannul any covenants established with demonic personalities and our children, whether it is generational by nature or inadvertently through the deceptive practices of media, music, entertainment, and education. As a parent of a minor child just as it is your stewardship responsibility for your child’s natural well being the same is true for their spiritual health and well-being.
Whatever you don’t break in your life your children will not only deal with it as adults but their children will deal with it as well, just as we have had to. This is what brings us here today, now we are attempting to deal with what we have recognized as problems. Let’s look at how Jesus dealt with children oppressed with demons.
Executive Edicts
Let’s talk about the enemy’s attack on children let’s look at it from a governmental perspective.
Just 5 quick examples
- Your child at birth is a ward of the state, (certificate of birth ) maritime law
- For instance, in NY, California a minor child can have an abortion without parental consent, so why do I as a parent have custodial responsibility for my child except for this situation?
- Our current president says a 6-year-old boy should be able to agree to voluntary castration as a minor child. Well if this is true why do we need school crossing guards? They are advocating that your child does not have to consent to a parent when it comes to gender reassignments without parental.
- Rowe v Wade
Executive Edicts
Exodus 1:15-20 KJV
15 Then the king of Egypt told the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth, look at the child when you deliver it. If it’s a boy, kill it, but if it’s a girl, let it live.17 However, the midwives feared God and didn’t obey the king of Egypt’s orders. They let the boys live. 18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives. He asked them, Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, that Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women. They are so healthy that they have their babies before a midwife arrives. 20 God was good to the midwives. So the people increased in number and became very strong. 21 Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people to throw into the Nile every Hebrew boy that was born but to let every girl live.
Matthew 2:16 KJV
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Offering blood to Molech
Leviticus 18:21
21 And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
Children are born with the spirit of rejection
There is a spiritual mechanism that children are automatically born with when they are born with when conceived out of wedlock, or unwanted.Â
Single parenthood
“Broken down by race, however, the statistics show stark differences. The percentage of White children under 18 who live with both parents almost doubles that of Black children, according to the data. While 74.3 percent of all White children below the age of 18 live with both parents, only 38.7 percent of African-American minors can say the same.
Instead, more than one-third of all Black children in the United States under the age of 18 live with unmarried mothers compared to 6.5 percent of White children. The figures reflect a general trend: During the 1960-2016 period, the percentage of children living with only their mother nearly tripled from 8 to 23 percent and the percentage of children living with only their father increased from 1 to 4 percent.â€
70 percent of all African American kids are born out of wedlock
Deuteronomy 28:22 KJV
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Proverbs 22:6
Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
When does life begin
Jeremiah 1:5 KJV
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified[a] you; I [b]ordained you a prophet to the nations.â€
Isaiah 49:1 KJV
Before I was born the LORD called me; from my mother’s womb, he has spoken my name. This servant of the Lord
Jesus’s encounter with John the Baptist
Luke 1;39-56 KJV
Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 Blessed is she who [a]believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.â€

The Syrophoenician with the demonized daughter
Matthew 7:25-30KJV
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
Mark 9-14-29NLT
14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd surrounding them, and some teachers of religious law were arguing with them. 15 When the crowd saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe, and they ran to greet him.16 What is all this arguing about?Jesus asked.17 One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal him. He is possessed by an evil spirit that won’t let him talk. 18 And whenever this spirit seizes him, it throws him violently to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid.[a] So I asked your disciples to cast out the evil spirit, but they could not do it.19 Jesus said to them,[b] You faithless people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.â€20 So they brought the boy. But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, writhing and foaming at the mouth.21 How long has this been happening?†Jesus asked the boys father. He replied Since he was a little boy. 22 The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.â€23 “What do you mean, If I canâ Jesus asked. Anything is possible if a person believes. 24 The father instantly cried out, I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief. 25 When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil[c] spirit. “Listen, you spirit that makes this boy unable to hear and speak,†he said. I command you to come out of this child and never enter him again!â€26 Then the spirit screamed and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him. The boy appeared to be dead. A murmur ran through the crowd as people said, dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.28 Afterward, when Jesus was alone in the house with his disciples, they asked him, Why couldn’t we cast out that evil spirit?â€29 Jesus replied, This kind can be cast out only by prayer.
The girl with the spirit of divination
Acts 16:16 NKJV
16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her master much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation. 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly [d]annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.†And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.20 And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; 21 and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.†22 Then the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. 23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. 24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Mathew 18:1-5 KJV
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.4 Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
