Praying God’s rulership over our children and grandchildren.
Hebrews 10:11-13, Matthew 12:20
Let’s look at how this passage builds on itself in divine, judicial authority. Hebrews 10:11-13
says, “And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices,
which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever,
sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His
footstool.” The purpose of Christ’s victory over death, hell and the grave was to empower us to
be victorious and to rule. Let’s pray God’s rulership over our kids and grandkids. Jesus is waiting
for us to make His enemies His footstool. We do that by judicially declaring His Word.
Sometimes the judicial application of His Word is salvation! It is real and it is to bring about
blessing! We see it right here in Hebrews, especially this chapter. Jesus took judgment to victory
in Matthew 12:20, and He is encouraging us to pray the victory of His Word!
Prayer….
We must pray and get rid of certain things that are inflicted by familiar spirits:
Throne-takers; rest robbers and destiny robbers. They stop you from enjoying the
rest of God by getting you to strive and struggle in your own strength, whereas
Jesus said “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest”
(Matt 11:28). For example-
- Low esteem, worth, of value. This will keep you from the success God intends for you. It
will keep you down, make you believe you are worthless.
