INTRODUCTION

As you read this No Weapon Handbook, my wife Joni and our children, Ashton and Austin, and I want you to know that we are standing on God's Word for you and your children and your entire family because we have His promise that...

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).

It has been the ploy of Satan from the beginning of time, in the Garden of Eden, to attack the heritage of the family of God.

Why? The devil knows if he can apprehend the children of one generation, he can stop the mighty flow of the revolutionary remnant army of God who is rallying its forces in this end time hour.

He knows that as long as he can keep our children captive to the value system of the god of this world—they will never realize the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that can set them free.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord (Luke 4:18,19).

In every generation there is a yoke ... but also in every generation God, Himself, provides an anointing that will destroy that yoke.

You have this anointing resident within you. In this handbook I'm going to show you just how you can break through Satan's stranglehold on our youth and set them gloriously free through the blood of Jesus, the Word of God and travailing prayer.

Every day I turn on the six o'clock news to witness murder and mayhem in our streets and senseless violence, with children murdering children all across our land.

America is witnessing the assassination of the spiritual power and prowess of the body of Christ. We have sown to the wind, and now we are reaping the whirlwind. We have spent an entire generation raising irreverent children, training them to question authority at every level instead of teaching them that to obey is better than to sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22).

Today, all across America, Satan has unleashed a strategic and calculated plan to annihilate our children. The entire family structure is under attack as never before.

There are only two institutions ever found in the Bible that God sanctioned: first the family and then the church. But nearly half of all children in America are being raised in single parent homes. All over this planet, children are being raised and nurtured by only half of God's intended provision for them.

If our youth do not receive the nurturing they need at home, they will seek it on the Internet, in street gangs, in drugs or in the occult ... and if these demonic alternatives don't give it to them, all too often, suicide or violence become the answer to their dilemma.

FOLLOWING ABRAHAM'S EXAMPLE

The Bible didn't say God blessed Abraham more exceedingly than any other man because he was so full of faith, or because he was so respectable, or because he was such an astute businessman.

The Bible records in Genesis 22:17 that God told Abraham He was going to multiply his seed like the stars in heaven for one reason—because He knew Abraham was a man who would raise his family to revere a holy, sovereign God.

The Lord knew when He blessed Abraham with Isaac, his son, it wouldn't be long before Isaac was walking with the Lord. And if Isaac walked with Him, it wouldn't be long before Isaac's son, Jacob, would be walking with Him as well.

The ultimate responsibility lies within the family. The highest commandment God gave to the human race was to raise a righteous seed. In Genesis 1:28 He states, "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it."

Our children are our spiritual seed. They are our posterity and the heritage of those who belong to the Lord. God is only in covenant with us as we produce the righteous seed to fulfill His purpose in the earth.

THE TOOLS OF THE DEVIL'S TRADE

We must be alert! We are living in a time when the devil desires to manipulate the impressionable minds of our children and poison them against the things of God.

Matthew 18:6 tells us, "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

Who is it that offends our children?

Secular humanists offend our children. Educators who immerse our children in values clarification and sex education, which has little to do with personal hygiene, and everything to do with shaping their morals away from those of their family and their church; these offend our children.

Political correctness offends our children. The unsaved, unregenerate politicians who are not born again offend our children.

Marketing masterminds have packaged the spirit of the world with the doctrine of devils and attempted to embed them into the minds of the righteous seed of God.

Never, in modern history, has the devil attacked our heritage as in this final day and hour. He is doing everything he possibly can to spiritually and physically annihilate one entire generation.

He is trying to send an entire generation to hell using music and lyrics that glorify death, murder, suicide, New Age philosophy and outright Satan worship.

For nearly 50 years, unconventional clothes and hair have been the trademark of the younger generation—from the leather jackets and duck tails of the '50s to the bizarre spiked hair and punk styles of the '80s. But the '90s have brought some subtle changes that encourage a step into the dark side to meet their need for acceptance and identity. Many of the hottest items sold at our malls sport satanic and occult symbols.

Satan knows the Lord's ultimate plan for him. He knows his days are numbered on this planet, and he's starting to panic. He's pulling out all the stops! It's time to call a halt to this satanic onslaught.

While we may be in a spiritual war with the forces of darkness over the future of our children ... our Lord has declared to us through His prophet, Isaiah, that as we stand in covenant and fight on their behalf that no weapon that is formed against them shall prosper ... and every tongue that shall rise against them in judgment He will condemn. This is the heritage of those that serve Him! (Isaiah 54:17)

IT'S OUR TURN NOW!

I believe the tragic events in many of our high schools in recent history is our wake-up call! Too long the church has sat in deafening silence while the world has cheered itself into a frenzy of violence, immorality and crime. Our voice has been silent too long and our action far too weak.

God is looking for a people who are willing to stand up and declare that their God is stronger than the demonic forces of the hour in which they live.

One Christian martyr did. Recently her classmate pointed a gun in her face at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado and asked if she believed in God. She squared her shoulders and resolutely declared, "I do," and became America's first martyr in over a century.

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

I believe the Lord has brought you and I together in the fullness of time to stand in the gap for this generation. The devil has had a free hand in America long enough, and it's our turn now!

God, Himself, has raised us up as a revolutionary remnant church to declare to the forces of darkness that NO WEAPON formed against the young people of our nation CAN PROSPER because we are lifting up a hedge of protection around about them that the devil cannot penetrate.

It's our turn to enthrone the King of Glory to His rightful place in America and return the worship of His name to our children and our teenagers.

So many of our young people today have no one to stand in the gap for them in prayer, but we can make a difference through the blood of Jesus, the Word of God and travailing prayer.

I'm challenging every mom and dad, grandmother and grandfather, aunt and uncle, neighbor and friend to join me in raising up a spiritual covering over the young people of this nation. It's time to draw a line in the spiritual sand and tell the demon hordes of hell, "You're not going to have this generation!"

Let's storm the gates of hell with the words of the prophet Isaiah as our battle cry:

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM SHALL PROSPER!

THE BLOOD

And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt (Exodus 12:13).

Jesus became our Passover Lamb. Our heavenly Father loved us so much that He gave His Son— without sin—to be our final sacrifice.

Jesus' priesthood began when He entered the Holy of Holies and offered His blood for us ... once and for all.

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:12).

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus . . . let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled ... (Hebrews 10:19,22).

The Israelites applied the blood to their doorposts, and their entire households were kept safe.

Not only was the blood for their household, but if their neighbor did not have a lamb, it was for them also!

... they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house; and if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb (Exodus 12:3,4).

Now, when we apply the precious blood of Jesus, our Passover lamb, He speaks on our behalf. Jesus says, "Look, there's the blood. They're blood bought."

Satan shrieks in rage when he can't touch our households, which includes ALL of our relatives. He can't touch those children who are covered by the blood.

The blood is an impenetrable force against the demonic schemes of the prince of the air.

Nothing can get through the blood. Drug pushers can't get through the blood, street gangs can't get through the blood, spirits of suicide and addiction can't get through the blood!

We need to stop running around trying to please God with our socials and our charities. We cannot offer our own works; we can only offer His blood. When we offer the blood of Jesus as our covering and our plea, God sees the blood—and the blood cries mercy.

When we apply the blood of Jesus to our lives and those we care about, it immediately pleads for us from the mercy seat.

There is power in the blood!

When Satan and his demonic hordes hear you plead the blood of Jesus, they know no weapon formed against those it covers can prosper. They know God is going to answer your prayer.

When the blood is applied, all heaven rallies to the aid of those it covers. Satan cannot penetrate the prayer covering of the blood of Jesus.

LEARN HOW TO PLEAD THE BLOOD!

[We are] the elect... unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:2).

We can "plead the blood" all day long, but if we are not obedient to the Word of God, we will be wasting our breath.

And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason: and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you (Exodus 12:22,23).

If the Israelites had set foot outside their homes that Passover night, they would have perished with the blood right in front of them!

God told them to stay inside. If the Israelites had disobeyed His instructions and crossed their thresholds, the blood would not have covered them. Even though the Israelites believed what God said, if they didn't follow His instruction to them, the blood could not keep them from harm.

Through faith, he [Moses] kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them (Hebrews 11:28).

Our inheritance, by faith, includes sprinkling the blood of Jesus. As believers, we "sprinkle the blood" in obedience because we know that the power of the blood overcomes all the works of the devil.

The high priests of the Old Testament offered blood sacrifices daily for the people. As New Testament believers, we are to apply the blood of Jesus daily as our plea for ourselves, our children, our loved ones, our neighbors and all our possessions!

Parents, every day at the breakfast table, before your kids go out into the world, lay your hands on their heads and plead the blood—the protecting blood of the Lamb of God—over them.

As a child, every day before I went off to school, my mama laid her hands on my head, saying, "God, in the name of Jesus, before my baby boy leaves this house today, I plead the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth over him!"

Take this prayer and pray it over our righteous seed every day of their young lives.

"Lord God, I plead the blood of Jesus Christ, through my covenant relationship with you, over young lives right now. By your mighty power, move them out of harm's way. Deter everything that would affect their lives. Protect them and raise a hedge of protection over them now, in the name of Jesus.

"Satan, you have no right to these children; they are covered by the blood of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I break your power. I plead the blood of the Lamb, and every yoke of bondage is broken."

THE WORD

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up (Deuteronomy 6:6,7).

The Bible is a great reservoir of the power of God. Every time you feed your spirit on the Word of God it grows stronger.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

Victory over the world, the flesh and the devil comes through the Word, for it is the most tangible and powerful weapon God has given us in our spiritual arsenal.

Who through faith subdued kingdoms,

wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens (Hebrews 11:33,34).

The devil cannot penetrate the Word of God spoken in faith. When we confess what the Word says, we unlock the door of our faith.

SPEAK WORDS OF FAITH

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (Matthew 12:34).

If your heart is filled with the Word of God. . . if you are diligently standing in faith on what God's Word says, then you will speak words of faith and not doubt, life and not death, victory and not defeat.

THE NAME OF JESUS

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:17,18).

God revealed His character to us through His many names: Jehovah-Rohi, the Lord is my shepherd; Jehovah Shammah, the Lord is ever present; Jehovah Shalom, the Lord is my peace; Jehovah Rophe, the Lord heals, to list a few.

In the New Testament, Jesus fulfilled all the names of God. His glorious name preserves us from the evil one and is with us always, bringing victory, healing, peace, holiness and righteousness.

The Bible tells us that Jesus was the Word made flesh. Jesus has done everything He is ever going to do about the works of the devil—now it is up to you.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).

Resist the devil through the power of the name of Jesus, and he will run from your home in absolute terror.

Whatever you are believing for the children you love, stand in faith on what the Word of God says about them. Start speaking the life-giving Word of God into their spirits and into their lives.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony (Revelation 12:11a).

The devil can't read your mind. Words of life, victory and deliverance are going to have to come from Y OUR mouth if the strong man is going to be bound.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house (Matthew 12:29).

Silent faith is dead faith. For faith to operate, you must DO SOMETHING. Confess your faith out loud. Speaking the Word gives life to faith. Speaking the Word binds the devil from operating in these precious children's lives.

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:8-10).

Faith brings victory. Faith brings God on the scene. Faith moves mountains!

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4).

Get in the Bible and find out everything it has to say about the young people you care about. Then begin to confess what the Word says into their lives. Say what the Bible says about them, instead of what the television and the world say about this final generation.

At every opportunity, let the children you care about hear you speaking words of faith, words of power and words of strength over them.

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22).

Parents, speak the Word of God to your children and stop depending on the church and the Christian schools to do everything for you. You can send your child to every Christian school in America, but you are risking your child's eternal soul if Christian values are not reinforced in your home.

Take these confessions of the Word of God and insert the names of the children you are guarding in prayer in the blank spaces.

PRAYER

God is looking for people who believe the Word, know the truth and are ready to do spiritual battle in prayer.

He has brought you along in the fullness of time to stand in the gap for the final generation. This is an awesome responsibility. Are you ready?

... and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

(Esther 4:14)

If you are going to guard our precious heritage, you must KEEP YOURSELF STRONG. Don't feed your spirit the junk of the world. Develop a personal relationship with the Father by feeding your spirit with the Word of God, praying in the spirit and spending time in fellowship with Him.

Don't ever lay your head on your pillow at night without raising a prayer covering over yourself:

"God, I give you my mind. My mind will think only thoughts of blessing tonight. I commit my mind into your hands. No force from without may attack my mind while I sleep, for Father, you never sleep, and you never slumber. If there is anything that comes to my mind, it must be filtered through the Holy Ghost and your Word."

"I reject all bad dreams. I reject all nightmares. Right now, I raise a prayer covering over my mind. You will keep me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on you" (Psalm 121:3, Philippians 4:7, Isaiah 26:3).

Do the same for the young people in your life. If you are a parent, lay your hands on your child every night and say,

"This child will sleep in the safety and the peace of the covering ofprayer that surrounds my precious little one. No force from the supernatural sphere, no principality, no power, no strategy, no design, no desire of the enemy can penetrate the covering of prayer I raise over this child" (Matthew 16:19).

We are all called to pray for these precious lives, so be strong in the spirit. Remember, we are all that is standing between the devil and this final generation.

Before you send your children off to school each morning, lay your hands on them. Raise a prayer covering over them that day so no crack dealer can give your thirteen-year-old free crack.

Pray a hedge of protection around them so the evil in the world will in no way touch or influence them.

. . . I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths (Hosea 2:6).

Pray for God to place His hand upon this generation so they will begin to flow in the gifts of the Holy Ghost.

The devil's forces cannot penetrate your prayers. Get down on your knees in prayer, and wet the carpet with your tears.

Spend time in travailing prayer. Intercede for the souls of the children in this nation that have NO ONE standing in the gap for them. They don't need a humanistic, self-help program. They need Jesus, and they need your prayers. Get on your face and begin to pray.

Let me guide you to victory through intercessory prayer. Are you armed with the blood? Do you have the sword of the Spirit? Are you girded about with truth? Are you wearing the breastplate of righteousness?

Shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace, take up your shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, and let's go to battle. Let's not allow another child go to hell!

Devil, we're drawing a line in the sand. No weapon formed against our young people shall prosper.

Father, in the name of Jesus, teach us to pray. Give us your heart—a heart for the lost, the weakest, the frailest and the smallest. Fill us with the same compassion Jesus had to reach out and loose our youth from the icy tentacles of Satan's grasp.

THANK HIM

Thank you for your infinite grace and mercy. Thank you that you loved us so much you gave your Son, as the spotless Lamb, so we would not perish but have eternal life. Thank you that when Jesus shed His precious blood, it was for healing, preservation, protection, deliverance and soundness.

Thank you for your Word that tells us when the Lamb was slain, it was "a lamb for my house and for my neighbor's house," and that blood covers my family, my friends and my loved ones. Thank you that we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb of God, and can come boldly before you to plead His blood.

BIND THE DEVIL

Thank you for giving us all authority in the name of Jesus (Luke 10:19). We bind every sexual perversion, every spirit of suicide, and every spirit of the occult. We bind every spirit of depression and oppression that would attack these young minds. Satan, we bind you from coming against their bodies. We rebuke every tormenting spirit.

Father, we loose the Holy Spirit in their lives, and pray that, by your Spirit, you will draw this last generation to you. Set them on fire and birth revival in their hearts. Give them a hunger and thirst to know you in all your fullness.

Thank you that the demonic hordes of hell must stand at attention and hear the words of the Living God. I bind them now and render them inoperative in these young lives. I thank you that your Word is life to our bodies and health to all our flesh.

PLEAD THE BLOOD

I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over these children and confess total deliverance and healing in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against them can prosper. They are washed in the blood and no demon hordes from hell can cross that bloodline.

Satan is defeated through the word of our testimony and the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 12:11). I plead the blood over these children and bind Satan from operating in their lives (Matthew 16:19).

May the resurrection life of God dwell in their homes and lives today and forever. May victory be the total domain of their lives. May they trample hell under their feet. May they bring souls into the kingdom of God for Christ's sake.

PRAY IN THE SPIRIT

Pray in the Spirit, and let the Holy Ghost pray through you.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26).

You don't know what you're praying about when you pray in the Spirit. You may be stopping a bus that the devil has planned to run some children down. You may be running interference to keep the drug pushers out of some young person's path. You may be stopping a sexual deviate from snatching a child from the playground.

Pray for salvation of all children who don't know Jesus as Savior and Lord. Pray for them as if you were the only one holding their hand as they slipped toward eternity in hell. Loose yourself to pray in the Holy Ghost.

Loose your spirit and allow God to pray through you. Abandon your mind, your surroundings, your wants and your body.

God gave you the gift of tongues as the stepping stone to get into the realm of the spirit. Launch out in the deep. Launch out into the power, authority, dominion and anointing of God as you pray in the spirit.

Don't do it softly; don't do it quietly; don't do it in your mind. Loose yourself into the realm of the spirit until you feel the Holy Spirit deep within your belly praying through you.

Don't be ashamed of your Holy Ghost language. It's your stepping stone into the the spirit realm. Learn to use it.

If that unknown language is coming from your mind, it's not the Holy Ghost.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries (1 Corinthians 14:2).

Praying in the Spirit comes from your belly— from deep within you—and rushes forth like rivers of living water.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38).

Be like Jacob and get passionate about it! Refuse to let go until you experience the full impact of being loosed into the river of God.

Pour your soul out before God. Jesus prayed so passionately that drops of blood appeared on His brow.

Learn to flow in the Spirit. The time is coming when it will be too late to look up Scriptures and recite from your prayer books.

Pray our children discover that there is more to God than there is to drugs and alcohol. Pray they find the depths of God.

Dig down until you hit the depths of God. You may be saving lives as you do. You may be saving the life of an innocent child who has no other hope but YOU.

Pray with the authority of a tongue-talking, blood-bought, Holy Ghost-filled child of the Living God. Tell the devil he can't have this generation. Tell the devil he can't have their bodies. Tell the devil he can't have their minds.

Refuse to allow fear to remain in this generation of young people another moment. Refuse to allow the spirit of failure to remain in them. Refuse defeat as an option.

By your prayers, you are calling in multiplied thousands of young souls who are heading to hell unless someone intercedes for them.

In the name of Jesus, call this generation into the Kingdom. Pronounce blessing on their homes. Pronounce blessing on their families. Pronounce blessing on every person that walks through the doors of their homes. Loose finances into their families. Loose finances into their lives.

Bind sickness and disease in these young peoples' lives. Bind infirmity and pain. Release the spirit of health. Loose the spirit of joy and rejoicing, the depths of praise and the heights of worship.

Sanctify their homes. Sanctify their bodies. Sanctify their minds unto the Lord.

Claim your city for God. Pray for the salvation and deliverance of lying politicians and homosexual teachers who are perpetrating New Age philosophies into the minds of our children.

Pull down the strongholds of the secular press. Bind principalities and powers. Demand every pornography shop in your city to be closed down. Demand abortion clinics to go out of business. Demand it!

You don't have to ask; you are in authority. Cast down spirits of incest, spirits of murder and spirits of perversion. Bind the homosexual devils on this nations college campuses.

Begin to praise and worship Almighty God for who He is ... Our Righteousness Our Deliverer Our Provider Our Healer Our Peace.

Pray in the freedom and power of the Holy Ghost until you loose victory! Loose the tangible presence of God and sense the victory. Feel the shout of a holy God begin to well up within you.

ANOINT THEM WITH OIL

You have a weapon you may not know you have in your kitchen cabinet. Take some oil and consecrate the children you are committing to pray for unto God.

It doesn't matter what kind of oil you use, just do it. Put a little oil in your hand and touch their forehead in faith, believing for God's protection against the forces of darkness as you pray. You can use the same prayer as the one below, similar to the one I used to pray over the children in my church.

The oil is the symbol of God's Holy Spirit that will overshadow and protect that young life until he or she has an opportunity to say yes to Jesus and make Him Savior.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over (Psalm 23:5).

PRAYER TO ANOINT THE CHILDREN

Father, I believe in your divine power as I release the anointing of God for protection, provision and power into the lives of our children.

Look down from your holy habitation, and loose a supernatural anointing of ability, acceptance and authority into their lives.

Devil, the oil marks these children! You will not touch them! I command you to get your hands off of them.

I rebuke all childhood diseases. I rebuke all infirmity, pain, malady and malfunction from their lives. I command all accidents to be moved from their way. I command their guardian angels to stand up and take notice. I command them to watch over these children and protect them, lest they dash their feet against a stone, or peril or calamity come nigh their dwelling place.

Satan, I serve notice on you—our children are the heritage of the Lord. They are priests unto God. They are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. They are cunning in all their ways.

Wisdom is multiplied upon them. They learn quicker, and they are smarter and brighter than the children of the world. Just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were anointed, let your anointing come upon these children, in Jesus' name.

A PARENT'S PRAYER

Lord Jesus, you have given this eternal creation into my hands to protect. I have the responsibility to see to it that these children make it to Heaven. Father, I commit to you, that with your help, we will lead a godly life and set a godly example for them to follow. In Jesus' name, they will hunger for you, thirst for righteousness and be called the children of the Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your enabling power.

PRAYER FOR LOST CHILDREN

Father, I pray right now for every young person who is outside the arch of safety and mercy of your love. Just like the prodigal son, they've tried religion, friends and the things of the world, yet they are still hungry.

I command the scales of blindness to fall from the eyes of every one that is far from you.

I pray, Lord, you will send laborers into their paths to minister the truth of the Gospel to them. May they see their need for Jesus as Savior and Lord of their life.

Holy Spirit, convict them of sin and convince them of righteousness. Today, Father, meet them at the point of their need. As they repent of their sins and turn their hearts toward you, meet them, change them and give them eternal life. Thank you for your grace and mercy that abounds forever.

A CHILD'S PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Dear God, I am sorry for my sins. Jesus, I believe that you died and you came back to life so that my sins will be forgiven. Please come into my heart to live and to guide me. I am giving my life to you today. I will read my Bible and pray at least five minutes every day. Thank you for saving me.

A TEENS PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Heavenly Father, I come to you born a sinner; I've committed sins which have separated me from you, the source of all life, joy and peace. I'm tired of what this world offers. I'm tired of empty dreams. I'm tired of trying to do my own thing. I'm tired of being miserable inside.

Jesus, I believe you died for me, rose from the dead, you're alive today, and that you love me. Jesus, come into my life now. Forgive my sins, give me eternal life and let me know I'm on my way to heaven.

Jesus, receive me now. I receive you, accept you and confess you as my Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Let me know beyond all doubt that I'm on my way to heaven. Though none go with me, still I will follow. Jesus, change my heart, change my ways. You alone are the Lord of my life. I'm going to live for you as you show me how, in Jesus' name. Amen

A PRAYER OF DEDICATION

Father, in the name of Jesus, produce kingdom life in these children. Thank you they will be raised to understand the things of God.

Thank you for the opportunity that these children have to be raised in the house of God, to understand the things offaith and to be provided for by the hand of Jehovah Jireh, our great provider. I release blessing into their lives.

Satan, I serve notice on you today that we are raising up a prayer covering over them. I command and believe these children will be raised to know God, and they will be like no generation that has ever walked on the face of this planet—full of the power and anointing of God.

Lord, take them into your care. Take them under your wing. May they dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. May they declare of the Lord He is their God, their refuge, their fortress and in Him alone do they trust.

In the name of Jesus, I believe you for a miracle. These children will live for you in the midst of a cursed generation. Thank you that it is done, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER OF BLESSING

I bless these children in the name of the Father, the Son and by the power of the Holy Ghost. I plead the blood over their lives, and no demonic force can step across that blood line. I command energy, power, anointing, vitality, creativity and strength, in the might of the Lord, to come upon them. I command these children to be a witness for Jesus everywhere they go. May they be flaming, burning testimonies of the power of the life of Jesus Christ. May God be with them now and forever.

My friend, I trust in faith you will grab hold of God's promise in Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon formed against our children and young people can prosper because they are washed in the blood and no demon hordes from hell can cross that blood line!

Joni, Ashton, Austin and I stand in agreement

with you and pray that this No Weapon Handbook has encouraged and strengthened you to lift up the shield of faith in a mighty covering through prayers to our Heavenly Father, the Word of God and the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
