A Mom Will Protect

A few weeks ago I had an experience I will not soon forget. While watching our grown son sitting on a horse, getting ready to go on a "trail ride", the horse decided to get cantankerous, and the next thing I saw was Andrew on the ground with the horse stepping all around him. My heart stopped, but I went into ACTION! I know horses are powerful animals, and they can hurt you if you don't know what to do with them, but it didn't matter at that moment that I could have put myself in danger. All that mattered to me was that MY SON didn't get trampled by a horse! Then, I was cautioned by Jonathan, our other son, "Mom, the last thing you need to do when something like that happens is run toward the horse!" He was only trying to protect "Mom", and I understand that, but, I couldn't help myself! I COULDN'T stop myself! "MOM" went into action calling on the name of Jesus for protection.

I've relived that moment over and over for a few weeks, but not until I heard another story about someone that was "actively" trying to "woo" one of our young preacher's into their clutches of deception did I really consider the depth of my actions in our "Horse and Rider" story.

The Church, has been referred to many times as a "Mother of spiritual children", and there are times we must stand up and PROTECT our "young". "Mother" can not stand by and watch her young preachers and preacher's wives being destroyed from the deception that is sweeping our world! We love our "young", and we will protect them even if we are put into danger of being trampled by deceptive spirits that want to run wild, only to pursue and destroy.

My heart is stirred and I will not sit idly by and feel helpless. The enemy wants to make us think we are, but we're not! We can pray a protection around our "younger generation" and surround them with love, then draw them close so they know they are SAFE!

Neither am I hopeless! We have an army of young men and young ladies who love Truth as much as their elders do. They will not bow, they will not give in, they will not back down! I have heard them declare Truth in their preaching! I have watched them live Truth in their actions! I have felt the spirit of God as they brought us into worship! Our "young" are marching forward, bearing the banner of Truth! I love being in their presence. I love to stand and talk to them and listen to their hopes and dreams. And, I, along with others, will walk beside them and help them see their dreams of revival and harvest come to pass.

So, young preacher! Young preacher's wife! Stand strong! Fight the GOOD FIGHT! Go to battle! Fight the war! You will WIN and be the CHAMPIONS OF TRUTH!
