Let the children come...
Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Matthew 19:13-15 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

I was down in Washington D.C. this summer for a national day of prayer and fasting. There was not a lot of teaching or impartation of information...in fact, the only notes I made on my blackberry were during a time when a group of children took the stage to pray. Here are those notes...

"We're fascinated and moved by these kids that are praying...we are not used to it...WHY?"

I have not been able to shake these questions from my mind. I was confronted with 7-10 year olds who had passion and vocabulary in prayer that was amazing. The only thought I can come up with is that we have not yet established a culture of prayer in our families and our American lifestyle.

One of the things I have been praying for since that time, is a children's prayer set in the RHOP. Keep watching, you WILL see it!

Recently a painting was given to us, it is a picture of a child kneeling in prayer. This painting is in the prayer room, prophesying every time I walk in! Then this past weekend a man I know for many years called me aside asking for a meeting. He said that we must teach our children to pray before they are teens. God is moving in and through our children!

Join me in believing and praying for a radical generation of David's who will be worshipers and intercessors, with anointing to kill giants!
