CHILDREN

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!
I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored of the Lord today.  I speak blessings of peace and prosperity upon your life.

The Lord wants to give you a message concerning your children.  Social media television and websites are they way of the world this day and age.  I also know that no one wants to be told how to raise their children.  That is partly whats wrong with the children today.  Your mother raise you and you are a intelligent woman.  Her mother raise her and she is an intelligent woman also.  But you refuse to accept advice from either of them.  You know whats best because you've been in the world longer than they have.

Woman of God, I admonish you to give ear to what the Lord is saying to you today.  You like to watch videos.  I know you might like the song but the video has half-naked women and men all over each other.  You are watching these videos with your children.  You may be also watching reality shows.  I can name a few but I won't get into that.  I notice that there is a lot of profanity, sexual inuindos, and fighting.  If this is the type of programs that you enjoy watching, why should you let your children watch them.  Children learn by what they observe and hear.  You get surprised when you 5 year old says a curse word and you have the nerve to wonder where they got that language from.  I don't want to beat you down today, but I just want you to save your children from a life of darkness.

If you do not start disciplining your children and teaching them what is right, there is a possiblity that later on in life you will be visiting them behind bars.  As you will get older your view of life will change, and now that your child is a teenager, running with the wrong crowd, and you might not even get to see a high school diploma, you wonder what happened.  You can not decide to be a role model when your children are teenagers.  My children where raised in the church, I did not spar the rod, and I tried my best to teach them how to live.  I still had to go through tough love with them.  I still had to visit one of them in jail.  I still had a granddaughter out of wedlock.  They are on the right road and are called by the Lord, so if I had trouble by doing the best I could, what makes you think you won't have any trouble raising them in front of the television?

(Proverbs 23:13-14) Do not withhold disciplin from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.  Punish him with the rod and save his sould from death. (Proverbs 29:15,17) The rod of corrrection imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.

I know that if you had a toddler and they were crawling, they always have to be watched because they put things in their mouths that could harm them.  We put covers over the wall sockets to keep them safe and you might lightly hit their hand, letting them know its wrong.  My plea is totally out of love.  I have two nephews that was sparred the rod, no consequences for their actions.  Now, one is in jail and the other one is on is way, if he doesn't change his lifestyle.  That is why I am sincerily compassionate about the this generation of children.  I love you and I know an unruly child will bring hardship to their mother because we are their mothers.
