What Parents Need to Know!!!

What parents need to know!

Xbox games play music while your kid is playing them. If they like sports, it is typically rap music playing. How long does your kid stay on that xbox, playstation or Wii?.......

That is how long the world is speaking into your kids life. Does your kid play video games more than you talk to them? If so, that video game and the music playing in the background has more influence over your kid's life than you do.

Does your kids have friends that they talk to more than you? Is your child in high school or below? If the answer is yes to these 2 questions then your kids friend has more influence than you.

I know what some of you are thinking. "You can't be friends with your child!"

My response would be, "How do you know? Have your tried? Nope. You remember some older person saying it and we just rolled with it." Or is it that we really use the wrong definition of friend. maybe that's it. if not then how is it that as adults we can say we know what a true friend is but we tell ourselves we can't be that for our children? I don't get it. Being a parent is a job. But we work too hard to make money that we turn over friendship with our kids to school, daycare, video games, grandparents associates at school. ......everything & everyone else besides us. I know we need babysitters and day cares. My wife and I work full time jobs, but that is not an excuse.



This boils down to a matter of faith. How you may ask? The Bible says faith comes by hearing. If I were to stop there, we see a big issue. The beginning of this scripture doesn't say what kind of faith comes by hearing. it just says "faith". Some have faith in God, some in money, some in people. So whether you like it or not, FAITH COMES BY WHAT WE HEAR! We need to adhere to the second part. AND HEARING BY THE WORD!!!!!!! Speak the WORD in your kids life that way their faith is in God. And, your Child's faith will not only lead them to salvation but also a healthy prosperous life on earth.



~Purpose

This is why we pray!

This is a much needed, yet commonly negated part of our walk in Christ! Remember that faith is for everything! And to activate your faith... you must pray. To see things happen...you must pray! To help others, change situations, overcome adversity....YOU MUST PRAY!

"Prayer is the foundation of ministry. God is revealing that when we dont speak to him, we experience anxiety...its our souls way of frantically seeking communion with God!" - Point5

and when it comes to applying faith...Like Creflo says, we need to say "I believe! Let's do it!"...don't over-think it...

Have faith...pray...activate your faith...act on your faith and you will see your dreams come true!

In a tough situation PRAY... keep on praying until peace comes over your heart!
