KINGDOM LIFE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

         Learning How To Become A Spiritual Covering & INTERCESSOR  For Your Children

I  thought this was worth sharing again if you didn't receive it at Prayer  

God has not called you to be a perfect parent. We can  turn to the expert Parent, your heavenly Father. When you do this, you are  inviting His presence and power into his or her life. When you pray for  your child, you are asking God to make His presence and power a part of  his or her life. You are asking God to powerfully work in his or her life.  

That does not mean that there will always be an immediate answer to your  prayers. Sometimes it can take days, weeks, months, or even years. Yet, if  you are praying…something is 
happening, whether you see it or not. The  Word of God says, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails  much (James  5:16). 

The following is a prayer list that you can use to  intercede for your children. These requests are based on the Word of God.  You can plead His Word with confidence. Grandparents and those who are  concerned for children can also use these requests.   

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRAYERS

1. Prayer Of Adoration 1 Chron. 29:10-13
This is prayer centered wholly upon God and His eternal characteristics–His majesty, glory, and power; His beauty and lavish love; His mercy and grace. Personal devotional prayer should begin with this type of prayer.
2. Petitions -  Petition means to ask for something. Because we are wholly dependent upon God for life He loves to have us ask for things. Perhaps this is the most used and misused prayer of all time.

  1. Supplications--We are to take our requests to God. Philippians 4:6 teaches, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Part of winning the spiritual battle is to be “praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication” (Ephesians 6:18).

  1. Prayer Of Faith  --James 5:15 says, “And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.” In this context, prayer is offered in faith for someone who is sick, asking God to heal. When we pray, we are to believe in the power and goodness of God (Mark 9:23).

5. Prayer of Penitence: - Simply prayers of Repentance.   Ex. Psalms 51
6. Prayer of Thanksgiving:  Philippians 4:5: thanksgiving or thanks to God. “With thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Many examples of thanksgiving prayers can be found in the Psalms.This is a prayer of appreciation for the gifts God has given us. Learning to be thankful is one of the best ways to combat depression and self-pity. Thanksgiving should be a part of every prayer.
7. Prayer of Intercession: - Standing In The Gap.      Eze. 22:30
When we intercede for others we come closest to God's heart. Jesus, in heaven, is our High Priest and His ministry is to intercede with the Father for mankind. When we join Him in praying for others we are most like Him. Many times, our prayers include requests for others as we intercede for them. We are told to make intercession “for everyone” in 1 Timothy 2:1. Jesus serves as our example in this area. The whole of John 17 is a prayer of Jesus on behalf of His disciples and all believers.

THE PARENT OR THE SPIRITUAL PARENT COVERING THE CHILD !!!

 It is our duty as” parents” and “spiritual parents” to not only pray for our children but to go into “spiritual warfare” for our children.
PARENTS - ARE SPIRITUAL COVERING FOR THEIR CHILDREN
The same “warfare” we encounter for ourselves should be the same “warfare” we fight for our children. 
As a matter of fact this “warfare” should be a heightened “fight!”  Our children are not exempt from the tactics of the enemy, one of Satan’s greatest strategies is to attack the “seeds of righteousness” with contamination of seducing spirits. He will use seducing spirits of homosexuality, promiscuity, addictions, and all sorts of abominable things to draw our children away from God!  
PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT -  PRAYING MYSTERIES THAT ARE NOT KNOWN TO THE MIND
WHY - BECAUSE SO MUCH YOU DONT UNDERSTANDING !!
1 Corinthians 14:13-15
King James Version (KJV)
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
UNDERSTANDING SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND CHILDREN
Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
  1. Pray against the Principality - False Concept - Or Principle
  2. Pray Against The Powers 
  3. Pray Against The Rules Of Darkness of This World
  4. Pray Against Spiritual Wickedness Im High Places
As Intercessors We Stand In The Gap And Pray in Accord With The Will Of God - FOR THINGS TO MOVE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL.
ITS LIKE PRAYING - AND SHOOTING ARROWS WITH OUR PRAYERS
 Psalm 127:1-5Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
