The Plot to destroy the family and how to stop it
This is a chapter from my book- "A Woman of Substance."
The Spirit of the age is at war with the family seeking to destroy it. If the family can be destroyed, society will become chaotic and confused, resulting
in a dystopian state. In many Sci-Fi dystopian novels, families are obsolete, children are given over to anyone but their parents, and there is no order- just doom and gloom.
The darkness is moving in all directions trying to confuse and confound people of faith. Every day there is something to make our heads swim, and it feels like we're treading water. Our strength must come from the Lord and his word. The battleground is the family, and you're a leader in this family called to go forth and protect those that God has entrusted to you. Do not fear. According to 1st Timothy 1:7, God has not given us the Spirit of fear, but love, power, and a sound mind. God will empower you as you focus on Him and your faith to see this through.
There is a FB post with a mama bear crossing the road with her cubs. She's sweet and nurturing, protective and caring. It makes a person's heart swell to observe the tenderness and love she has for her little ones. Yet, that same loving, protective mama bear protective will go after a human or animal's throat if her cubs are in danger of being taken. How much more will a mother do everything she can to protect her children? The natural bonding causes mothers to love and protect their children. What are the things in life that mothers naturally safeguard their children from?
Physical harm
Sexual abuse
Stranger danger/ being taken captive physically and emotionally
Sickness and disease (If possible)
Mental abuse
Corruption and peer pressure
Drug abuse/ drug dealers/
The workers of iniquity are after your children, and their aim is the destruction of the family.
Government rewards single parents and pregnancies outside of marriage and punishes (financially) two-parent homes. Schools are training children not to need a father and mother in their homes. Many government schools indoctrinate children and plant seeds of rebellion by teaching them that their parents don't always have their best interest. Teachers and administrators go behind the parents' backs with information on how to get birth control, abortions, and how to transition their bodies with irreversible surgeries. The indoctrination begins in kindergarten and moves more aggressively through the middle grades. By high school, children are fully brainwashed against marriage and traditional family but encouraged to experiment with male-female trans theories, racism, and a host of social justice dogma that border on socialistic and communist thought. The school brings in speakers and artists to influence our children. They also use supplemental curriculum that is never brought home. They use books at the earliest stage of learning, teaching small children terms such as "trans, genderqueer, non-binary, gender fluid, and transgender." The book, Who are You? As well as other books written for children enforce to the children they can be whoever or whatever they want to be. They can identify as animals or objects. The most frightening thing is the schools can report a parent for interfering with the child's choice of gender. This is a demonic attack on the family.
Your schedule is full. Yet, you want to protect your children while raising them with your values and morals. Psalm 127:3 "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him." Also, Jesus himself said, "Let the little children come to Him and do not hinder them." Matthew 19:14. No one should be allowed to hinder the Gospel from your children.
The beauty of religious freedom is that parents are responsible for training their children about good versus evil and right versus wrong. Every human being follows universal laws and principles in their heart. From the beginning, parents guide and lead their children on the pathway to adulthood. For Christian parents, that pathway includes biblical instruction that begins at a very young age.
Praying for your children and asking for wisdom and instruction is the foundation for establishing a strong connection. Reading bible stories and uplifting stories of faith and courage will plant seeds of goodness in them. Those seeds take root in the mind and heart and will produce fruit. That goes in the other direction too. If a child is placed in front of a television with perversion, violence, and lawlessness, those seeds are planted as well and can produce fruit if they take root in the mind and heart. Guard the television, computer, and all other electronic devices. Watch what they're watching. Check on their social media devices often. Make sure every effort is made with parental controls. Shut the noise off. I call the local news the "Bad News Bears." All the media does is vomit garbage day in and day out. They are used by demonic forces and flip-flop like fish out of water on every issue. The media instills fear, confusion, and anxiety. If it's not terrifying to the public, it's not reported. Pull your family away from all of it.
Stay grounded and be consistent with what is allowed to be viewed or listened to on these devices. The guarding of the family from destruction starts at home.
Beware of isolation and separation in the home. When both parents work, being the drill sergeant is difficult and tiring. It's easy to let the children go off in their separate corners and vegetate in their different worlds. Leaving them alone in their world for hours on end is not healthy. Parents must know what Is going on in their children's lives. What's happening with their friends? What's happening at school?
What is happening at school??? Here is where the indoctrination begins. School is where you gear up for the battle. Get in those textbooks and look at that homework assignment. Ask questions. Now is the time to attend your child's school board meetings and go and meet every teacher they have. Make appointments to sit in some of their classes. Who is the principal of the school? Research his or her background and education. Did you know some teachers are no longer sending the books home at the younger grade levels? You may not be able to run for the school board, but you must be involved in your child's school or consider homeschooling.
Parents have the responsibility to protect their children. We are asked to take up the shield of faith. This shield extinguishes All the fiery darts of the wicked one. Faith is an act. Abraham moved. Sarah received. Noah built. One of the feats in the faith chapter is in Hebrews 11:23. "By faith Moses when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict." We must hide our children until they are strong enough to stand on their own.
How do we navigate through these waters? By Faith. Only by faith can we quench the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Ephesians 6:10-18 describes specifically the requirement in engaging this battle. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but the rulers, the authorities, the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints."
According to the scripture above, we are at war. It's a spiritual war. Notice the scripture says we don't wrestle against human agents, even though human agents bring down this evil. No, those of us living in this world are wrestling against powers, spiritual forces, and rulers in heavenly places. According to these scriptures, we're in an army; these are our weapons to fight, so let's fight, resist, and stand. This is how we begin and end our day.
