Generational Assignment

Beloved, you know the weightiness of the season that we are in. As you look around at the world you see and understand that these days require wisdom and warfare in order to steward them well. I know the fears that you have for your children; for the generations that will follow you. But I call you to live not from a fear of the future, but from a position of fear and reverence for me. For when you instruct your children to live from a place of yieldedness to me and awe, you are creating for them a refuge for their spirits that will strengthen and prepare them for the times ahead. The next generation will know days of great trial, but they will also know days of great harvest and victory.

I am calling you now to instruct them to build strong foundations of close relationship and reliance on my Spirit, to sustain and to guide them. For I have created them for such a time as this and have already placed within them the giftings and strength that they will require. I am asking you to build the environments within your family, home, schools, and churches to release the next generation into the purposes that I have set aside for them. So do not fear for them but teach them to fear me. This will become their fortress and their strength for the days to come.

Activation: Examine your heart for any fears that you hold for your children, or the next generation as a whole. Ask Holy Spirit to minister into those fears and release them to him. Ask Holy Spirit to highlight specific areas that you can pray into – it may be for a child that you know, your church youth group, or a broader assignment of the enemy against the next generation. Enter into a time of praying in tongues and warfaring on their behalf. Commit to praying into these areas as part of your ongoing prayer life – creating a secure fortress in warfare as you declare God’s Kingship over the next generation.

Proverbs 4:26 (NIV)

Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children, it will be a refuge.

Esther 4:14 (AMP)

For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?
