WAKE UP!!! BE WATCHFUL! series

Lamentations 2:19
King James Version (KJV)
19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

The word of God gives us clear instruction on how we are to raise our children, so WHY are we seeing more and more children/youth being claimed by drugs, alcohol, sex/prostitution, gangs, bullying, video games, destruction, desensitization and eventually death? WHY are we not lifting our hands to our Lord, crying out for our children’s lives, pleading the blood of Jesus over every child/youth whether they are your child/children or someone else? WHY can’t we see that these children are hungry/starving for love, security, structure and discipline, YES! I said it! DISCIPLINE!!! discipline done in love will save a life. You cannot drink in front of or with your child and then turn around and want to discipline them when they go out and get drunk. Men you can’t run behind every woman you see, watch porn, nude magazines, etc, and then want to discipline your son when he get some young lady pregnant. Women you cannot bring home/get with every guy that got a nice ride, attractive face, and a fat wallet, then want to discipline your daughter when she seeks the same type of guy, maybe even attract the very guy you with and gets pregnant. We need MEN to be FATHERS, we need WOMEN to be MOTHERS, surround these children with positive influences, BE a positive influence! PRAY for everyone, especially the children! Raise these children up in the way they should go, but in order to do that WE have to be going in the right direction ourselves, the direction of the Lord Jesus Christ! we have to lead them so that when they are old they will not depart, love your children enough to correct them, do not spare the rod
Proverbs 13:24
King James Version (KJV)
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Do not give them up to the streets and the death that comes with being in the streets/world
