Raising a Child Who Prays
David Ireland
Hebrew 4:16
1.0 You Must Unlock Kid Power!
1.1 My experience adjusted my perspective.
A) Kids crying to God in Korea.
1. These kids wanted to be used by God.
2. God wanted them in His throne room.
3. These kids were bold, confident, and self-assured that they were granted an audience with God.
Heb. 4:16-''Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help us in our time of need.''
B) To raise a kid who prays means that the child understands that:
1. God does not push the pause button on their spiritual life until they become adults.
2. There is no junior Holy Spirit and God is not a grandfather; only a Father.
3. They have full access and freedom to God's throne room just like God's adult children.
4. God values and respects their prayers and they too can move Him.
1.2 To Raise a Child Who Prays Parents Must:
A) Understand the 4/14 window.
''According to the International Bible Society, nearly 85 percent of people who become Christ-followers do so between the age of four and fourteen.'' This is the 4/14 window.
B) Learn how to pray.
Let's draw three simple lessons from Daniel's life.
Note: Daniel was a foreigner who rose to a prestigious government post in Babylon. He was one of three administrators overseeing the entire country of Babylon whom the king was about to promote over everyone [6:3]. Jealous leaders provoked king Darius to establish an irrevocable law that punished violators by death-death from being eaten by lions-should they pray to anyone other than the king over a 30-day period [6:6-7].
Dan. 6:10-''Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.''
