THE MOVING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Every morning my husband and I pray that God will pour out His Spirit upon our children, our children's children, and future generations. We all seek to be diligent parents, but ultimately it is only the moving of the Holy Spirit upon our children's lives and in their lives that draws them into a life of living close to God and fulfilling their destiny.
I also like to claim the promise of Isaiah 44:3 (ESV): "I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants."
And my favorite Scripture, which I think I must quote nearly every day, is Zechariah 4:6: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord of hosts." I am very aware that it is not my power or my working. I am totally dependent on God's Spirit to move in their lives and am therefore constantly crying out for His intervention.
