God’s Armor For Our Grandchildren

by | Jul 26, 2009 | 0 comments

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his, mighty power.
Put on the whole armor of God,
so that you may take your stand
against the devils schemes.
Ephesians 6:10, 111 (NIV)

The devil is deceptive, seeking whom he may distract from walking with the Lord. Our culture is challenging the faith of our dear grandchildren. Our younger grandchildren have their challenges with lying, cheating, disobedience to their parents, etc. Our older grandchildren who are teenagers and our young adult grandchildren have significant needs and they tend to push the boundaries of Christian lifestyles.

Pray they will:

•    Recognize the deception of the world.
•    Put on the whole armor of God so they are ready to fight their daily temptations.
•    Arm themselves with Christ’s righteousness by repenting of their sins.
•    Stand firm with the belt of truth (God’s Word).
•    Hold the shield of faith to recognize and extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
•    Memorize the Word of God so the Holy Sprit can use it when needed to withstand the enemy.
•    Be alert, self-controlled, and stand firm in their faith.

6 Ways to Love a Grandchild In College

It’s the time of year when college-aged grandchildren are shopping for dorm room or apartment supplies as they prepare to begin a new adventure away from the home in which they grew up. No longer “children” but not yet independent adults. Grandparents must adjust their methods of connection with those I lovingly refer to as “chronological adults.”
