The annual Children's Blessing Service

The annual Children's Blessing Service will be the conclusion of our Battle Cry Series in a couple of weeks. I am feeling led to do a 3-day fast for our kids in school. I am going to ask those that will to fast 3 days for them. I would also ask parents and grandparents to bring in pictures of all the children that come to church for myself and those fasting to pray over.

When we fast, we turn from the things that daily grab our attention, and we focus solely on God. The Battle Cry Series is opening our eyes to the needs of our young children and youth.

Will you join us in prayer and fasting for a generation?

The Little Children and Jesus
Mark 10:16 (New International Version)
16And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

Battlecry

I received an email the other day I would like to quote, regarding the new series Battlecry.

"...And it came to my knowledge that God is indeed telling us to sound the trumpet. He is getting ready to pour out new rain on His remnant. I then turned to Joel and read: " Multitudes, multitude's in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon will grow dark and and the stars will diminish in brightness. The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem: the heavens and earth will shake, but the Lord will be a shelter for His people." I believe that He is truly calling out the true generals in His army to equip them with all the weapons we will need for the end-time battle."
Ephesians 6:12 says it well - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We are fighting an enemy we can't see. Satan would have us believe that everything is fine, but all around he is bombarding this generation with wickedness.

The events at a local school in Knox County today further go to example of a culture in dire need of a Savior. Our prayers go out to the families involved in this tragedy today. Truly, the call is going out for individuals, families, communities, churches, and our nation to make a stand and sound the trumpet for a nation of young people in need.
