Parents, sometimes, it's best to be quiet 
and allow our eyes to "hear" what's going on.

If God told you it was "payback time", young adults, 
what would you be getting back? 
Would it be good or bad?  
Would God turn his back on you? 
Is there anything you've done that 
you would like in return? 
Remember, we will receive what we have given.

Moms & Dads, take a break to; 
reorganize - recenter - and 
refill yourselves with God's word. 
You'll need to focus a little 
more for this next step in 
your teenager's life.

● To the teenager, are you a believer? Before you answer that, 
check to see what and who is it you believe (in). It will help you 
to understand why you do what you do and where you're headed!
● God is not social media; it's just one of the many platforms 
where he can be recognized for who he is and his word.

● From time to time; recognize and revisit that which are 
your children's God-given talents/gifts. Keeping it before them, 
will lead your children to operate in their gifts.
● Lead them to think deeper. 
Tell your friends to search their hearts 
for their own truths...Teens, you shall 
lead your friends. Amen!

● Young people, think about it before you decide to give up. 
He can not and we will not make God look like a fool; 
it isn't possible. God believes in you! 
● God speed, deliverance is just a prayer away. 
Pray young people. Sincerely pray for growth in 
whatever area that continues to trip you up.

● Young adults, were 
you built or created? 
[If you say, "built", is it because the environment you 
grew up in made you who you are today?]
[If you say "created" is it because through all 
your trials and mishaps, God created you 
to be an over comer ?].
● Let us be mindful young believers; 
God doesn't need our help. He chooses 
to use us, so that we will understand 
that He is in control of everything.

● Yes, the group of friends that you keep 
feeling are a bad influence; they are. 
Teenagers, go with the warning 
signs and change your circle.
● Stress, worry and the need to fit in 
are after your dreams. Don't allow 
what's yours to be stolen by the 
pressures of life. Teens & young adults, 
do not hangout with them. It's a trap.

● Youth, remember, character and family background 
both play essential roles in how we look at, respect and 
obey God. Our heart is where God enters, so he can 
navigate and cleanse us in areas we didn't 
know needed cleansing.
● Parents, don't allow your children to lose respect 
for you. Use some form of discipline when raising them. 
Have a standard for respect!

● Yes, parenting can be very challenging, especially when 
you have more than one child. This is why there should be 
two parents in the home; but, it can also be hard then...
Either way, if it's not a God centered house, 
the challenges will seem as if they're multiplied by 7. 
We must pray for understanding in raising children.
● Tell the youth that the rain is for 
washing and for growth. Their 
troubles won't last always. 
It's just a process to becoming Christ like.

● PRAY TO BE OPENED:
"I'm young at heart and mind. 
With the can opener of your love & power, 
Lord open the top of my heart and empty 
the contents that is not of you. Refill me 
with a double portion of your wisdom, 
protection and obedience."
● Children of God...For some, God will 
talk to directly, and for others he will 
send one of his messengers. It doesn't 
matter how he speaks; 
receive and feast on his word. 

● Wherever your faith is, 
there you will find your children's also. 
[The home is were the faith is.] 
Parents check your; faith, 
obedience and love levels for God. 
Check your children's also.
● Younger generation, 
you are not just a pearl. 
You are a necklace, 
pair of earrings 
and a bracelet. 
You are precious to the Lord!

● You were created & built to obey God. 
Please 
- act 
- operate 
- and walk 
accordingly, children.
● Teenagers, the world is not your home. 
God is your home; find your way to him 
and learn how to stay in his presence.

● Keep your eyes on God. Parents, cover your home. 
Ask God to give your household wisdom to 
   "not" run to or look at the enemy  
    for power, but to break his 
    strongholds. 
● Love your children loudly, 
telling them; you're proud 
of them, happy for them, 
amazed at how much 
they're growing, you 
love them and most 
importantly,
THEY'RE A CHILD
OF THE KING.

● Keep your eyes open youth and your heart covered. 
Continual sin will drag you from one end of the earth 
to the other; ultimately trying to dump you at the gates of hell.
● PRAYER
      Thank you Jesus, for your 
      seed of grace and mercy 
      that allowed a flower like 
      me to grow. I ask for your 
      continual guidance and 
      nurturing; so that I may 
      grow from a flower, into 
      the branch of your tree, 
      that you have destined 
      me to be. In your sweet
                  name, amen.

● Don't be an oppressor. God is working in and on 
our youth; the way he processes them, 
may be different than how he processes 
your own youth. Be mindful and 
encourage all youth, as he moves them along.
● Young adults, it's not "are they happy for you." 
It's "have they ever been happy for you." 
Check their history and then you'll better 
understand the people around you.

● Parents, do we really intervene and help our children? 
Or do we just "yell at them"? If we approach them 
with respect and wisdom, they can walk away 
disciplined and still have their dignity.

● Parenting 102: 
Sit and talk with your children's friends. 
Pray for them and spend time getting 
to know who's hanging with your children.

● Students; you don't spend time with friends 
and then make time for your  studies. 
Just the opposite is true; you spend 
time on your studies and then 
make time for friends.

● Before you pick your weapon and choose your battle; 
check with God to see if it's his will. People of God, 
do not go to war without asking the commander.
