WORD OF THOUGHT FOR ENCOURAGEMENT

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
PROVERBS 22:6
TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GOAND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.
2 COR 12:14
….BUT FOR YOU: FOR THE CHILDREN OUGHT NOT TO LAY UP FOR THE PARENTS, BUT THE PARENTS FOR THE CHILDREN.
MUSIC HAS SEVERAL AFFECTS ON PEOPLE’S MOODS AND BEHAVIORS. I COULD WRITE THE WAY OF A JOURNALIST OR PROFESSIONAL BUT WOULD IT HAVE THE SAME AFFECT? SO WITH PASSION I WILL BLURT IT OUT. OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK! THE LORD HAS COMMANDED FOR US TO TEACH THE CHILDREN THE WAYS OF HOLINESS..AND WHEN THEY GROW OLD THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM THEM. THIS WAS A COMMAND. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES. HOWEVER, ARE WE TEACHING THEM ABOUT THE MUSIC AND THE DANCING AND CONSUMES A GOOD PORTION OF THEIR LIFE? WE CANNOT ASSUME THAT THEY JUST KNOW CERTAIN THINGS SIMPLY TO AVOID AWKWARD CONVERSATIONS OR STEPPING ON TOES. NO LONGER CAN WE RATIONALIZE. THE ENEMY IS COMING INTO OUR HOMES THROUGH CERTAIN MUSIC AND WITH IT COMES SEDUCING SPIRITS. THESE SPIRITS DE-SENSITIZE AGAINST THE TRUTH SO WHEN APPROACHED WITH THE TRUTH THE SPIRIT HAS THEM RATIONALIZE WHY IT’S OKAY TO SIN…”GOD UNDERSTANDS”, THEY SAY. INSTEAD OF TAKING A STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. THIS ASSISTS WITH A DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF COMPROMISE WHEN THE LORD HAS ALREADY GIVEN US THE TOOLS TO CONQUER IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. MEANWHILE, PARENTS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN CHARGE OVER THESE LITTLE LIVES RATIONALIZE WITHIN AND SAY “THAT’S SO SMALL”, “NO BIG DEAL” BUT ALL THESE SMALL THINGS  LET THE ENEMY IN TO CREATE ONE BIG COLOSSAL MESS THAT PARENTS WIND UP BLAMING GOD FOR OR ASKING WHY? THEN WHEN THE MESS COMES SOME PARENTS SOLICIT PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS FOR SITUATIONS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED AND THE LORD LOOKS AT THE SITUATION AND THE REIGNS OF THE HEART TO SEE THAT THE INTENT TO WALK AWAY FROM SIN COMPLETELY IS NOT PRESENT. SO IT’S SENSUAL AND DEMONIC BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF TRUE REPENTENCE AND THE HERITAGE OF OUR YOUTH ARE SUFFERING AND IT’S NOT FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE. IT’S BECAUSE OF SPIRITUAL LAZINESS AND NEGLECT AND JESUS CHRIST IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF SUCH. IF WE SAY WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN THEN PERFECT LOVE HAS US DO THE DIRTY WORK ON THE SPIRIT MAN BEHIND THE FLESH REGARDLESS OF WHAT’S NATURALLY POPULAR. IF WE SAY THAT WE ARE STORING UP FOR OUR CHILDREN THEN OUGHT WE GIVE THEM THE FEAR OF THE LORD FOR THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF ALL WISDOM…THE REVERENCE…NOT THE RATIONALIZING AND EXCUSES. WE OUGHT TO STORE UNTO OURSELVES THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST INSTEAD OF GOING WITH THE WAY THE WORLD LOVES TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND RATIONALIZING WHY THEY HAD TO.
