The enemy has NO CLAIM on my bloodline—they are covered by the blood of the Lamb, taught by the Spirit, and destined for greatness. I declare they are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, light in the darkness, salt in decay.
Your Father isn't intimidated by TikTok or school boards. He's already assigned angels to your children, already written their stories, already prepared good works for them to walk in—and He's a better teacher than any curriculum.
