PROPHETIC WORD

Your Children are a Sacred Trust

I say especially to those who confess My Name as Lord, I have given you, My
people, your children to raise in the fear and nurture of the Lord. Not only are
you to raise these precious children and young people to love their God, while
they live under your roof it is YOUR responsibility to provide for them. To provide
food, clothing and a roof over their head as I give you the strength and power to
do it. And not only that, but to shield them as much as you are able from the
wickedness of the world and physically protect them from bullies, at school and
elsewhere.

Many parents, even Christian parents, are afraid to “make waves” by complaining
about the abuse and harm done to their own children by their peer group, and
even by teachers and other authority figures. That’s right. Lots of times,
teachers stick up for the guilty majority rather than defending the victim, who’s in
the minority. These teachers prefer to be liked and respected by the devil’s
children who are picking on your child, rather than suffer inconvenience and “loss
of face” in the teacher’s lounge. These spineless worms are too scared to expel
troublemakers from their classes, too timid to do anything but turn a blind eye to
violence and mischief happening out in the hallways.

The six hours or so your child is out of your home getting his/her education in the
secular school system (and sometimes in nominal church schools) he/she could
be at risk of harm through bullying. During those precious hours you cease to be
the one in charge, and the acting parent of your child is his/her teachers, who
may or may not even like your child, much less love them. For those hours you
relinquish your place of authority over your children. If the school authority
figures (or the bus driver) decides to let your child be abused, there’s little you
can do about it if you don’t even know what’s going on. Sometimes your child is
too embarrassed to let you know about it.

That child is especially at risk if he/she is a sweet, gentle, shy individual who only
wants to learn and make friends by being the person they truly are instead of a
phony mask-wearer who puts on a tough act to be seen as cool by the dominant
peer group. I have said in My Word that you are to avoid the appearance of evil
(I Thes.5:22). There is NO commandment in My Word to act “cool” or join the
right cliques in school. More importantly, I have said that gentleness, not cruelty
and snobbery, is a Fruit of the Spirit (Gal.5:22). Any Christian boy who manifests
tenderness of heart and gentleness toward unpopular individuals is at risk of
being called vile names by the devil’s children. The biggest losses in a Christian
child’s life could be spiritual instead of emotional or physical. The fruits of the
Spirit could be suppressed in the life of a Christian child who’s out there in the
worldly secular school system and afraid to cross his/her peer group. Christ could
be demoted from the throne of your child’s life, because it “just ain’t cool” to be a
Christian. Lots of people, even Christian people say, “When in Rome, do as the
Romans do”. But which kingdom are you a citizen of, My people? Rome was a
mighty empire. But Rome was a wicked persecutor of Christians which fell to
ashes in the annals of history.

As for this nonsense about bullying being character-forming, consider this

parable: A certain man owned a champion race horse. It was a sleek, beautiful
animal, graceful of form and high-spirited, eager to run the race and win. But the
man entrusted the horse to a trainer he barely knew. The man’s wife, who was
too weak to intervene much, had heard rumors that this particular trainer might
not be a very kind person, and might even be a little rough on the animals in his
care. She pleaded with her husband to go easy on the animal.

So how did the horse’s owner react to this news tip? He said to his wife, “Forget
it. No big deal. We’ve pampered this horse way too much anyway. He’s too
much like a pet. A little rough treatment will only discipline this horse to be
tougher, stronger and more aggressive when he has to go out into the REAL
world and compete for his own living. The School of Hard knocks will teach my
horse to roll with the punches in an imperfect world. I’ll just relax and leave my
horse in the hands of his trainer, and when he gets done with him, I expect great
things out of my horse in the way of performance and endurance on the race
track.”

The indifference of the horse’s owner was sweet music to the trainer, who was a
very sadistic individual who took pleasure in the suffering of others. At last the
so-called trainer had a blank check to treat an animal any old way he pleased.
This would be fun. My, how the trainer loved his job!

While the trainer had the horse, he saw to it that the stable boy gave the horse a
sound whipping with a belt each and every day, to give him a tougher hide. Lead
weights were attached to the horse’s ankles. While the horse’s back was still raw
and bleeding from the daily abuse, a rough saddle blanket would be put on him,
along with leather stirrups and a heavy saddle. Worst of all was the sharp metal
bit which hurt the horse’s mouth so much that when it was removed for
mealtimes, eating was too painful. The horse’s exercise regimen consisted of
being forced to run twenty miles a day over a stony track, chased by vicious dogs
who nipped at his heels.

The horse got Saturdays and Sundays off from his daily workouts. The trainer
always enjoyed Mondays, when the horse’s festering wounds would be ripped
back open and fresh pain flooded the once magnificent race horse.

Mealtimes were sheer hell for the horse. He was fed meager portions of dirty
hay mixed with gravel. When he was thirsty he got filthy drinking water which
was never changed, just left to stagnate. If he complained he got extra blows
from the stable boy who fed him. When bedtime came, the horse slept under a
leaky roof on filthy straw infested with mice and maggots. So the bullying went
on both night and day. The horse could not properly rest because something was
always eating at him. He was never tenderly cared for or groomed, only insulted
and whipped by the stable boys to ‘toughen him up’.

When the owner of the horse came to pick him up, the horse was covered in
oozing sores. His muscles were wasted away. He was bare skin and bones. His
teeth were broken and rotted from bad food. His mane was matted. His hooves
were split from lack of care and from running every day on rough gravel with
weights tied around his legs.

The horse finally went home. And when he did, he got shipped off to the race
track by the owner, who turned a blind eye to all his wounds. So who do you
think got the blame when the horse came in last on the race track? The horse,
who else? The owner yelled at the horse for causing him so much
embarrassment by losing all his races. The man even blamed the horse for being
ugly and sick-looking.

The owner scolded the horse for being a wimp and not exercising ‘mind over
matter’ so the animal could ‘get over it’ and move on with his life and prove he
was still a champion thoroughbred. The owner was ashamed of the horse for not
fighting back, even when he was too sick and weak and outnumbered to do so.
The wicked man stopped calling him his horse and said it was his wife’s horse
now, because she’d ruined him by petting him too much. The man told the horse
that if he didn’t “snap out of it”, he’d be hauled away by men in white coats and
never be seen or heard from again.

The owner noticed that his sick horse didn’t want to get up in the morning, just
cringe in the corner of the barn as if he were terrified of anything and everything.
The man warned the horse that if he didn’t ‘stop acting like a weak wimp’ and be
the same healthy horse he was before, he’d get sent to the glue factory. The
man’s wife melted into tears when the husband told her he intended to send him
there. To stop her crying he said, “All right, dear, no glue factory. We’ll find
some other way.”

The foolish man, annoyed that he’d spent so much to buy the horse and pay the
trainer, got so angry he found an even more humiliating way to punish the horse.
Not by sending him to a glue factory, but to a dog food factory, to eventually be
gobbled up by the same mean dogs which had chased him and nipped at his
heels.

That’s the way many parents of bullied students operate. When their child is
insulted or beaten up every day, and the health and well-being of that child
deteriorates, an unfair burden is put on the child’s back to defend himself against
a whole gang of bullies. When the poor child is unable to fend off ten tough thugs
who want to seriously damage his body or knock out a few teeth, the child’s
tough macho dad disowns him for being a “loser” who failed to win the fight. So
now it’s his wife’s kid, not his. Through the neglect and indifference of adults, the
child literally gets thrown to vicious dogs in the classroom and on the school bus.

When the bullied child is safely at home and suffering flashbacks, nightmares and
panic attacks, or even disabled by physical injuries, boys, especially, are barked
at by macho fathers and warned to toughen up or they’d be treated like wimps
throughout their lives. The world won’t tolerate any signs of weakness, the dad
warns (sometimes the mother does this too). So letting the child suffer the
bullying is really doing him a favor. But what does Jesus say about what’s good
and what’s bad?

Matt.7:11: Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give
him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that
ask him?

So many people, including professing Christian believers, give their kids EVIL
presents in the form of “training for real life out in the real world.” Instead of
letting their kids be nourished with good spiritual bread, they allow their kids to
be crushed with stones thrown by bullies. Instead of something good to nourish
the soul of their children, they present their own precious children with a serpent
(something evil and destructive).

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye

even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

The teaching of Jesus commonly called the Golden Rule states that you should do
nothing to your neighbor you wouldn’t want done to yourself. What if the boss
decided to taunt you every day, to trip you when you came through the door?
What if you went to your work desk only to find someone had scribbled
obscenities on your important papers, or put a tack in your chair? Is THAT a
good gift? If that happened in the workplace, especially as an ongoing offense
with malicious intent, wouldn’t you feel justified in reporting it to the Labor Board
or the police as something the boss tolerates in the workplace? Wouldn’t you
consider these crimes health and safety violations? And if you were assaulted by
a stranger on the bus, wouldn’t you call it a CRIME? But when those same crimes
are inflicted upon a helpless child, it’s called “harmless fun” or “part of growing
up”. HOGWASH!

In the name of all sanity, why should your own children, who are sometimes far
weaker and smaller than yourself, be subjected to those same atrocities day in
and day out? Why would any decent Christian parent be so stupid and callous as
to allow the destruction of their own child, when they wouldn’t tolerate it
happening to themselves at work?

When the child cries in public or shows emotional deterioration of any kind
because of the abuse, it is the child who’s scolded and shamed and called a
crybaby for “not acting like a man” and taking it cheerfully. Even girls are put
under tremendous pressure to suppress their tender feminine nature and act
tough. They are shamed out of showing how hurt they are. So many of My
precious little children carry deep scars in their soul throughout their lifetime not
just because of the bullies, but because of the ENABLERS of those bullies. Such
irresponsible adult authority figures hurt bullied children twice by BLAMING THE
VICTIM and refusing to step in and deal justly with a no-win situation. Bullied
children, instead of being tenderly cared for and protected, are literally thrown to
the wild dogs, the two-legged kind, to be devoured. This is even done many
times by those who should know better, Christian parents.

Phil.3:2: Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

If Paul warned adult believers to beware of dogs, that should surely apply to
children as well. Stay away from them! Period. Paul wasn’t talking about
staying away from French poodles, Chihuahuas, cocker spaniels or even
Doberman pinschers. He meant for you to keep your distance from vicious people
who act like they don’t even possess a soul, who have reduced themselves to the
level of wild beasts by the way they act!

When the bullied child grows up to be a man or woman and doesn’t achieve all
the wonderful dreams the parents had for them, it’s the child who’s to blame,
they reason, for being lazy or cowardly. Forgotten are all the long years that
child was whipped verbally or physically by their peers and mentally tortured
beyond all endurance. Forgotten are all the many thousands, if not millions, of
times, the poor kid was mercilessly ridiculed and called a loser, a wimp, a failure,
not just by mean students and teachers, but even by those who were supposed
to love and protect him. You can’t plant failure seeds in your own child and
expect him/her to become the next U.S. president!

Conveniently forgotten is the fact the parents’ neglect or indifference ENABLED

bullies to hurt their child for so long. And now that it’s time to run round the race
track of life, their child is hobbled by all the hurts of the past, still tied to that
child’s ankles like lead weights. Those are the evil fruits of entrusting your
precious child to an unmerciful trainer (bully-enabling teacher) who looked the
other way while others DAILY tortured your poor child and filled his heart with
hurtful, bitter things, like a slow drip of spiritual rat poison.
Some Christians still insist that being “nice” is all I ever require of anyone, and
gross wickedness should be allowed to run its course unhindered in the world,
even if it affects their own families. That is a cowardly copout and a lie of satan.

Romans 13:3-4: For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have
praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil,
be afraid; for HE BEARETH NOT THE SWORD IN VAIN: FOR HE IS THE MINISTER
OF GOD, A REVENGER TO EXECUTE WRATH UPON HIM THAT DOETH EVIL.
I have ordained that in every society there should be officials entrusted to “bear
the sword” or mete out appropriate punishments on evildoers, in just proportion
to the crimes committed. Where is the paddle (or removal from the classroom)
when such disciplinary measures are needed to protect vulnerable students from
those who hit, insult and threaten others? Where is the godly bus driver who
excludes violent, dangerous kids from riding on his bus anymore because some
innocent child was assaulted when he/she was minding their own business and
only wanted to get home safely?

My people, how do you expect to rule and reign with Me in the world to come if
you have an aversion to seeing basic human justice prevail in your society? Not
lynch mob revenge, but administering proper measures of discipline and adhering
to the due process of law in order to deal with juvenile offenders who make life
miserable in their communities and at school.

And what about children who pick on handicapped people, including children with
visible physical deformities? Read My Word and you’ll see how I view such
unholy sinners, rotten fruit of ungodly parents who teach their kids violence
through word and example.

Lev. 19:14: Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the
blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

Lev.27:18: Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all
the people shall say, Amen.

2 Kings 2:23: And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up
by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and
said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

Verse 24: And he (Elisha) turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in
the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and
tare forty and two children of them.

Just for teasing a man for being bald some children met with My judgment. I
agreed with the prophet Elisha that those kids were accursed and dealt out swift
judgment to them. Those who abuse blind people or deaf people, or anyone else
who’s “different” are CURSED by their Creator, Who made everyone unique.

Exodus 4:11: And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who
maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

There is a vicious side to human nature which tends to isolate and persecute
anyone which is not exactly like themselves and their own peer group. People
behave worse than wild dogs when they can get away with it. I love variety in
My creation. Human beings persecute unique individuals who look or act
differently from themselves. Fallen humans want everyone to be exactly like
themselves. When that doesn’t happen, their claws come out.

Adults and children who gang up on to abuse helpless handicapped people are
disgusting in My sight. They afflict those who already have burdens too great to
bear. Such vile people crush hearts which are already broken. These evil snakes
can expect only to be sent to hell after they die. Children are not exempt from
having to stand before their Creator for judgment.

I’ve had enough of all this sickly sweet sentiment about unconditional forgiveness
of unrepentant criminals who are eager to hurt your child again and again just
because authority figures are “softies” and they know they can get away with it!
Bullies don’t melt with godly sorrow when society does nothing to stop them.
They take that attitude as tacit approval of what they’re doing and see passivity
as permission to carry on their campaign of hatred and persecution. Or else they
interpret that passive do-nothing “forgiveness” as fearful weakness and license to
continue their behavior. Someone else’s child might get hurt after bullies finish off
your own child. And the parents of the next child who gets hurt may not even be
believers in Me. They may be desperate enough to do something rash or foolish
if the bullies aren’t stopped in time.

Don’t ever harbor hatred. If incorrigible wicked people ever need to be hated,
that’s My job. Just turn such enemies over to Me to be reserved for the fearful
judgment they deserve. Do you seriously believe I no longer want order and
security in society just because I taught you to love your neighbor as yourself?
Part of loving your neighbor is wanting him/her to live securely and in peace,
protected from violent thugs. Many of My people RUSH to reassure unrepentant,
violent criminals that I still love them UNCONDITIONALLY regardless of what
they’ve done, even if those sinners blaspheme and mock My Son, even if they
reject faith in Him and cling tenaciously to their sins. Through such sweet-
sounding religious deception of the enemy, Christians have WIDENED the narrow
Way to Life to include all, even hardened, vicious evil bullies who have no
intention of ever confessing and forsaking their sin. Do you seriously think I’ve
prepared mansions in glory for murderous thugs who would turn My heaven into
a haven for wickedness? The concept of GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE appears
nowhere in scripture, not even in the Gospels or the New Testament.

Psalms 5:5: The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou (God) hatest all workers
of iniquity.

Many of you are more concerned about being good stewards over where your
money goes than being a good steward over the emotional and spiritual health of
your own children. You turn a blind eye to where your own dear child goes to
school each day. Ignorance isn’t always bliss. Often it leads to terrible tragedy.

Satan knows full well that if My church is preoccupied with money and finances,
and that’s all the preachers preach about, he’s scored a huge victory by diverting
My people’s attention away from the snakes sneaking into the sheep fold. Do you
seriously think I treasure money at all? Is all the money on earth worth the
health, life and peace of your own child? Get real! Stop listening to religious lies
which lead you to believe that abuse is good for your children’s character
development. Don’t be a bully ENABLER. Those who ENABLE bullies to bully by
taking a passive attitude to them will ultimately share in their guilt and
punishment (2 John 11). Many teachers and other school officials, and cowardly
bus drivers, will stand before Me guilty of being passive accomplices to the violent
crimes and injuries suffered by bullied children. Don’t allow your child to be one
of these unfortunate casualties. Your precious child belongs to Me, not to satan
and his crowd.

Would you let the devil babysit your child? Would you allow your own child(ren)
to be used as a dart board by satan and his demons for several hours a day,
every day of the week except for Sundays? The devil can’t always be there to
personally tear down your child’s soul, but he has many willing human hands at
your child’s school to do his dirty work of soul destruction for him. Satan’s
children do the works of their infernal father below.

John 8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there
is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it.

One of satan’s greatest deceptions is to persuade Christians that ALL men are my
sons and daughters. I relate to sinners only as their Judge and their Creator,
unless they are willing to repent, receive Christ and forsake all sin.

Prov.3:32: For the forward (evildoer) is abomination (hateful thing) to the LORD:
but his secret (confidential friendship) is with the righteous.

Evildoers are still an abomination to Me, saith the Lord. Violent, foul-mouthed
troublemakers are not fit companions or role models for your children. My people,
especially, must guard against letting such punks have access to their children to
taunt and torment them. Those who are hardened, violent, and stubbornly
unrepentant are only fuel for the coming fires of judgment. Wicked, aggressive
bullies will surely tear your child apart emotionally and spiritually, not build
him/her up in the things of My Kingdom.

Your children are a sacred trust from Me, saith the Lord. On the Day of Judgment
I’ll ask each and every Christian parent whether they raised their children to
know Me as Lord, and whether they did all they could to keep them safe from the
evil one, the devil and his crowd.

2 Cor.6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what

fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath
light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple
of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith
the Lord Almighty.

Matt.7: 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait (NARROW) is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it.

Psalms 5:6: Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing (falsehood): the LORD
will abhor (strongly hate) the bloody (violent) and deceitful man.
Rev.21:17: And there shall in no wise enter into it (God’s heavenly City ) any
thing that defileth (morally corrupts), neither whatsoever worketh abomination
(deeds hateful to God), or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's
book of life.

2 Cor.6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what

fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath
light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple
of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith
the Lord Almighty.
