Flood Versus Counterflood 

I just returned from visiting two of my grandchildren in Maui. Maui’s terrific, but I’m mostly still smiling about the lesson I learned about prayer from my three-year-old granddaughter Rory. She’s definitely the poster child for 1 Thessalonians:5:17Pray without ceasing.
See All... (“Pray without ceasing”), especially at mealtime. Her six-month-old brother Leo doesn’t complain. His meal is always at body temperature; ours not so much as Rory’s prayers of thankfulness seem to grow for her friends and loved ones and each new person she met that day.

That totally thrilled me! Why? She simply followed the thankfulness of Jesus as He ministered at every meal He attended. Furthermore, they were her personal prayers to Jesus with whom she was growing in her relationship, not just some rote memorized words with no personal connection.

Our children are under a spiritual assault in our day as never before in human history. Satan knows his time is short (Revelation:12:12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
See All...), and through the attractive power of modern communication he is flooding every form of media with his antichristian and seductive wickedness. Only a counterflood enabled by the Holy Spirit and instituted by loving and steadfast believers can make a difference. If you haven’t started teaching your little ones to pray, mealtime is a great time to start.
