Yesterday we talked about stepping forward and declaring covenant over your child. Today we talk about what backs that declaration up.
There is a moment in Hook that has stayed with me. Peter has been trying desperately to remember who he is. He has lost his ability to fly, lost his confidence, and honestly looks like a man who has given up on himself as the infamous “Hook.” He feels like he is failing his son all over again. And then something breaks through. His happy thought finds him. He turns to Jack and says, “You know what my happy thought was? It was you.” Watch that moment here: https://youtu.be/6ohgHjQvK5g?feature=shared
The love of a father for his child restored everything. It broke through every lie, every layer of forgetting, every wall the enemy had carefully built. The moment Peter remembered how much he loved his son, he remembered who he was.
That is our heavenly Father over us. We are not His project or His problem to manage. We are His happy thought. And your child, wandering, confused, claimed by voices that have no right to them, are not only your happy thought, but they are His happy thought too. He loved them before you did and He has not forgotten them. He has not grown tired of pursuing them. His love for your child is the force behind everything you have been praying.
Now here is what backs your declaration up.
Exodus 12:13 says, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” The blood was not applied quietly or passively. It was placed deliberately and visibly on the doorpost of every home. The families inside were not protected by how good they were or how scared they were. They were protected by the blood, applied in faith and obedience and that is still how it works.
1 Peter 1:18-19 tells us we were redeemed “with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” That blood has not lost one drop of its power. Not over time, not over distance, not over the choices your child has made. Hebrews 10:19 says we have “boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.” Not timidity or hoping for the best. Boldness.
And Revelation 12:11 tells us they “overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” The blood and the declaration together are the power twins. Cover them and then say it out loud.
Apply the blood with your words over the doorpost of your child’s life. Say it with the confidence of someone who knows exactly whose they are.
Covered. By the blood of Jesus. Mine and they are known by God.
Make today count and see you tomorrow.
