Word of
Encouragement and Blessing to Homeschooling Mothers, Fathers, and Children
If Jesus were speaking directly to you right now, and he is speaking to you,
he would say:
Thank you for choosing the narrow
path, the difficult way. It leads to abundant life, great blessing, and eternal
benefits and rewards. I have called you
to a Holy, set apart lifestyle and you have responded. I know the way is difficult and you feel like
giving up sometimes. Come to me when you
feel worn-out, tired, burned-out, stressed out, and heavily laden with many
burdens. I will give you rest and
life. Resist the pull to compare
yourself with others and look to the right or the left. Re-focus your gaze and your heart upon
me. Remember that your main purpose in
raising your children is to teach them to love me with all their hearts and to
follow me.
Homeschooling Moms, the Father is
so pleased with your love and care for his children. Nothing escapes the
Father’s notice. Your purpose and
calling as a mother and teacher during this season is valuable and significant
beyond what you can see with your limited perspective. You have sacrificed much to make the decision
and accept the call to train up your children in the way the Father has created
them. The Father is pleased with you and
proud of you. Don’t grow weary in doing
good, continue to fight the good fight of faith and finish the race. Strength, wisdom, and energy will fill you. May an increase of love, purpose, and vision
come upon you. Moms, resist the lie that
comes and tells you your task is without purpose or significance just because
nobody seems to honor or recognize you.
The First will be Last, and the Last will be First in my kingdom. You may appear to be Last according to the
values system of this world, but in the Kingdom of Heaven, you are first
because you are a loving servant.
Homeschooling
Dads, support and love your family in more ways than just financially. Encourage your wife and children, be
genuinely interested and engaged in their day.
Your interest and encouragement will help pull them through difficult
seasons. You have sacrificed much to be
a homeschooling Father, and the Father notices.
He is pleased that you work hard to support your family in many
ways. Your words have life and can
encourage your family to be the overcomers I have called them to be. You, as a Father, have the power to call
forth and encourage the identity of your wife and children. Your example of hard work,
servant-leadership, self-sacrifice, love, and courage sets the tone for your
family. Come to the Father for your true
identity and vision, do not go to the world for identity and their standard of
success. You are a true son of God, now
go and call forth your children as sons and daughters of God. Teach them to love this world with my love,
and train them for war to defeat the darkness.
I didn’t call you to homeschooling so that you and your family would
hide from the world, but I called you to homeschooling so you can raise up
world-changers who will carry my love to the lost sons and daughters.
I
declare over the children clear vision, ears to hear, and teachable, tender
hearts. Let them have open minds that
listen to their mother and father’s wisdom.
Give the children the Father’s heart for this world and his love for people. Let the spirit of rebellion over this
generation be broken and not touch these children. Let the children choose wisdom and life that
leads to blessing. Let the children
really come to know God in a deeply personal way. Let them resist the world, the flesh, and the
devil. Let them avoid the snares of the
enemy and stay on the narrow road. Let
them learn to hear the voice of God and obey that voice. Let the Holy Spirit fill them and flow
through them. Show them who you really
are, Father, and show them what you have created and called them to do. You children are precious to the Father, you
are his beloved. Come to the Father
through me and you will know true life.
