God has plans for our children

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Quiet That Tongue!


At church last night Pastor Rich of Destiny Church spoke on creating a culture in your home. This reminded me of a word God gave me concerning things we speak over our children.

Zechariah was told by an angel of the Lord, he and Elizabeth would have a child. Zechariah questioned God and was struck dumb until his son’s birth. Sometimes the plan God has for us or our children is so beyond us that we question its validity. God has laid out a purpose that is impossible to complete without him. Thank God for His mercy, rather than give the gift of parenthood to another couple He took away Zechariah ability to compromise that gift or the circumstances surrounding it. Dream big and speak life into the dreams of others around you. If you don't understand it, it is better to quiet your tongue than to speak against a God given dream.  

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
