Son, tell your grandchildren, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember to tell them that someday soon they will have to give an account to Me for everything they do. They must not let the excitement of youth cause them to forget Me, their Creator. They must honor Me in their youth.
Tell your grandchildren that the leaders today have left them a foolish heritage, for they worshiped worthless things. So your grandchildren must choose to let Me make My home in their hearts, and learn to trust Me. Then their roots will grow deep into My love and keep them strong. They will have the power to understand how wide, how long, how high, and how deep My love is for them. When they experience My love, they will fully understand that it is My mighty power at work in them. When they experience My power in their lives they will know that they can accomplish infinitely more than they think. So I challenge your grandchildren to lead a life worthy of their calling. To be humble, gentle, and patient with each other. Making allowance for other’s faults because of My love. Make every effort to keep united in My Spirit, binding themselves together with peace.
Son, tell your children it is their responsibility to equip your grandchildren to do My work and build up My church. When your grandchildren are taught the truth they will become mature, and not be blown about by every wind of new teaching. They will not be influenced when people try to trick them with lies so clever they sound like the truth. When your grandchildren know the truth that comes from Me, they will throw off their sinful nature; which is corrupted by lust and deception. They will know the power of My Spirit that will renew their minds, and change their attitudes. So tell your children to stop letting anger control them and watch their tongues. Tell them they must not let the sun go down while they are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil. they must not use foul or abusive language. Let everything they say be good and helpful, so that their words will be an encouragement to their children who are listening to them.
Son, when you speak good words rather than worthless ones, you will be My spokesman. You must influence people for Me. Do not let them influence you! People will fight against you, but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall of bronze. They will not conquer you, for I am with you to protect and rescue you.
Lord, Your words are like cattle prods, painful but helpful. When I discovered Your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear Your Name. You are my strength and fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble! Therefore, I can now come boldly and confidently into Your presence because You empower me with inner peace and strength through Your Spirit.
