Establishing an Eternal Future

Dear Lord,

I bring my children and Grand babies before You and ask that You would help them grow into a deep understanding of who You are. Open their hearts and bring then to a full knowledge of the truth about You. Lord, You have said in Your Word, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9) I pray for that kind of faith for these children. May each of them call You their Savior, be filled with Your Holy Spirit,acknowledge You in every area of their lives, and choose always to follow You and Your ways. Help them to fully believe that Jesus laid down His life for them so that they might have life eternally and abundantly now. Help them to comprehend the fullness of Your forgiveness so that they will not live in guilt and condemnation.
I pray that each of them will live a fruitful life, ever increasing in the knowledge of You. May they always know Your will, have spiritual understanding, and walk in a manner that is pleasing in Your sight. You have said in Your Word that You will pour out Your Spirit on my offspring (Isaiah 44:3). I pray that You would pour out Your Spirit upon Kayla, Travis, Shakira, Jazmin and Tayshawn.
Thank You Lord that You care about these children's eternal future even more that I do and that it is secure in You. In Jesus' name, I pray that they will not doubt or stray from the path You have from them all the days of their lives.
I ask this according to Your good and perfect will,
In Jesus Holy name,
Amen

"Weapons of Warfare"

John 6:40 (Amplified Bible)
For this is My Father's will and His purpose, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day.


1 Timothy 2:3-4 (Amplified Bible)
3 )For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior,
4 )Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth.


1 John 5:20 (Amplified Bible)
And we [have seen and] know [positively] that the Son of God has [actually] come to this world and has given us understanding and insight [progressively] to perceive (recognize) and come to know better and more clearly Him Who is true; and we are in Him Who is true--in His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). This [Man] is the true God and Life eternal.


1 John 5:11 (Amplified Bible)
And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.


John 14:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
16) And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever--
17) The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.
