"The devil is destroying my family and relationships and I'm powerless to protect them."
How it sounds in your head: I watch my parents fight, my friends make terrible choices, people I love getting hurt. I feel like there's this dark cloud over everyone I care about and I can't do anything to stop it. I'm too young, too powerless.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
-- Acts 16:31Source: Enemy hiding your authority in Christ and the power of your words over your household.
You're watching pain happen to people you love and feel responsible but helpless. The enemy magnifies your age and minimizes your authority as a believer.
Rahab was a prostitute in a city marked for destruction. She made ONE declaration of faith, and God saved her ENTIRE FAMILY—parents, siblings, everyone. One believer's faith covered the whole household in the middle of judgment.
I REFUSE the lie that the devil is destroying my family and I'm powerless. IT IS WRITTEN that I and my household will be saved. My faith in Christ covers every person in my home. I speak life, protection, and salvation over my family. IT IS WRITTEN that I will command the blessing on my household, and enemies will be defeated before me. The BARAK that protected Abraham's household protects mine. Like Rahab's one scarlet cord saved her entire family from destruction, my connection to Jesus covers everyone I love. I am NOT powerless—I am a priest declaring breakthrough over my home.
The Father isn't waiting for your family to deserve His intervention—He's already running toward them because YOU are His. Like the father gave the prodigal the ring of authority instantly, God has given you authority to speak over your household, and heaven moves when you pray.
