My Daughter’s Thoughts and Feelings…
You know my daughter said to me, Ma, why do you preach on Facebook? She implied, “no one has time to read all of that stuff. “You, she said should start a blog. This is a young generation and we do not want to read all that stuff, mom. I replied, well daughter this is mom again, writing something that no one wants to read.
If one person reads the “stuff” that I write and it improves him/herself, then my writing is not in vain. This sermon deals with setting yourselves as children free from condemnation of sin! I read a letter from in touch ministries, it really touched me and I have to share it. God never intends for his children to live under a cloud of condemnation, the Pastor said. I agree that the main source of problems and people feeling inadequate derives from childhood experiences.
When God gives children to parents, he intends for the parents to represent the children to God by training the children in the way that they should grow and go. The first concept of anything a child learns is presented through the actions of a parent; a child constantly seeks to please the parent, thereby pleasing God if the parent is saved! Rejection and dereliction of duty by the parents will cause the child to feel condemned and to attempt to please the parents to their own hurt. If a parent is harsh and difficult to please, according in the “Pastor’s Heart” and I agree, the children began to believe it is hopeless to try and measure up to the standards of the parents; thereby, believing the same of God. The child may say, “Why should I serve God when it is impossible to please him, anyway?”
Losing hope of salvation through Jesus Christ leads to problems with children looking to soothe the pain with drugs, alcohol, and unhealthy, unholy behaviors. Satan is aware of this, an he makes drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, and other sins appealing to the children. 1 John 1:9 states, “If we confess our sins, “God” is faithful and righteous to forgive and cleanse children of all unrighteousness.” To paraphrase Micah 7:19, God buries those sins and he does not dig them up. Nothing should be help over the children like a constant leak from a damaged water faucet…
