Battlefield Mom Part 1 - Initiating The Attack

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 all know what the Armor of God is. We all know there is a battle between good and evil, a war between God and Satan going on. We are ready to defend our marriage, our children and ourselves against the enemy. And we pat ourselves on the back when we shine up our armor a bit every day with  the polish of quiet time. 

Especially us Moms. If we can fit in some time with God every day we feel like we are really on our way. We are getting there! But we are not even scratching the surface.

What if we are called to do so much more than to ward of the attacks of the enemy. I believe with all my heart that as Mom's we are supposed to be on the front lines of the battle, initiating the attack against Satan and his minions instead of defending whenever we feel we are under attack. 
 

It is imperative that we initiate attack against the devil and his evil army before they make an attack on our kids.

We are equipped with a full suit of armor to use in the defeat of the enemy but I think there is a piece of our armor that is way too underrated in our minds. And that is the weapon of prayer. For some reason we look at it as a spiritual gift, but I don't see it in the list of the spiritual gifts. We talk about "Prayer Warriors" as if there are only a few people really gifted to pray.

But I believe we are all called to be Prayer Warriors. Especially us as Moms. Our children are the future church of Jesus. And these are scary times. People are leaving the church, especially in America, left and right. Our kids are going to hear so many reasons that Christianity is not for them. They are going to face attack from every side.

It is imperative that we initiate attack against the devil and his evil army before they make an attack on our kids. We must cover our kids daily in prayer, over and over and over again. The Bible says "Be alert and of a sober mind. Your enemy the devils prowls around looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8
Unless our children are covered in prayer every single day that someone could very well be them. 

Our kids have so much to face in the upcoming days, we cannot neglect this very important part of the battle for their souls. It is very possible that they will not only face the attack against their faith from the lure of Vanity Fair, but that they will also face persecution. Will your child be able to stand against imprisonment and worse? Mom's, we must pray for their very souls, daily!

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not proper..." Romans 1:28
This is happening in our society, more and more. We cannot let it happen to our children!

We need to be Battlefield Mom's, changing our armor from shiny and perfect to battle-scarred and used.

As Mom's we need to band together as a great army, on the march against the enemy, claiming our children for Christ! We need to be prepared to get on our knees and fight for their souls in wrestling prayer, every day. We need to be Battlefield Mom's, changing our armor from shiny and perfect to battle-scarred and used. Praying for our kids as we work is awesome, but we need to get serious about it. We need to set aside time every day to pray for their future in Jesus. Are you ready to join me?
