More was accomplished by Elijah pouring into the next generation than his own personal ministry exploits had recorded. So too, will more be accomplished by fathers and mothers in the Church by pouring into the next generation—helping them step into their calling with wisdom, support, and loving relationships to fall back on. What are you doing to mentor the children in your home and churches to go to the next level?

"Don't copy old wine skins of youth and children's ministry. The new model will weave together worship, intercession, and evangelism in a depth and intensity that will astound many, but which will bring in the great harvest. As His Spirit is poured out on this generation He will do a quick and intense work." —Rick Ridings
Did you know if you reach your adults years and have not yet accepted Christ there's only a 6% chance you will? If you reach your teen years and have not accepted Christ, there's only a 4% chance you will. But as a child under age 12 when presented with the gospel, there's 32% chance you will receive Christ. Yet most of our time and money goes into adult & teen evangelism.
Our children will struggle to maintain a healthy balance in life as they are constantly exposed to evil and decaying morals. Trying to live a "normal" life they fall prey to the constantly deteriorating definitions of normality in a country of adults whose standards have been lowered. As a parent how are you helping your children to protect their innocence, civility, and character?
It should be as common to hear a church has a children's prayer team, a children's healing team, a children's prophetic ministry team, and a children's evangelism team as it is to hear they have a Sunday School. Our most energetic, available, willing laborers too often are parked on the bench until they get "old enough." We're wasting 1/3 of our army because of preconceived ideas of what children can and cannot do.
Our kids need to taste the supernatural and one of the best ways is through the infilling of the Holy Spirit. I can't encourage you enough to make praying in tongues a regular part of their church experience. Have you ever led a child to recieve the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? If not, why do you think you haven't?

Stealing!!!!
Wednesday march 9th 2011 at RHK
Before our lesson the Lord led me to have the children go to the world wall and pray over all the people all over the world. It was very neat to watch how each one responded.
The lesson was on stealing. Yes very interesting because 3 weeks prior my hat and gloves were stolen. The sad part was found out who did it and not only no remorse, but denied it, but was seen taking them. It was one of mine. These children see that all the time, that is their life, so they do not think anything of it. The Lord had me go thru the Bible and talk about the different stories, and what happened to the people. Praise God it is not done here, but still is in the Middle East, you can get killed.. or something else. I talked about our hearts and what it does to them. I also talked about if this continues our hearts get hard, so it gets worse and worse. Then he had me have them look at their hands. God made their hands, and it went on. Then we had a prayer time and asked if any of them wanted to give their hands to God, their was a time of repentance first, then I anointed their hands with oil and we prayed. I was still saddened with the fact the child did not confess.
One of the interesting things is this happened in the last Wed of Feb, and our leader had the month of March designated for the topics of steal and lie. Wow isn't that interesting.

Jesus Heals
Sunday the 6th of March 2011
The lesson was on healing, we looked through the scriptures to discover all the different ways that Jesus healed the people. Wow some of them were not the norm as we discovered. I even acted out some of them, and they said if this is the way that God told Jesus to do it, then we want also the way that God says to heal us.. Go through the take-home sheet and let your C tell you all about it. I also want to say thank you to two special people who helped us to learn more about healing, and then praying for us. I myself was prayed for. Sunday morning the Lord woke me with, have the C pray for your shoulder, and I did. The Lord has told me when C pray for you, it is WOW, because they have the child like faith, yes they believe it will happen. We all prayed for other owies, and we were led to pray for C who had nightmares. After all was done we gave a huge praise to Jesus for all that he had done.
As I was cleaning up afterwards I really sensed the Lord say we would continue the lesson for next week. The lessons are not just for learning about, but also learning how to do it, ie learning how to pray for those who need healing, so we practice on each other. One of the testimonies from years past was about one of my 3 year olds who after doing as above, she prayed over her Grandparent and he was healed. I believe God is going to be using these C for healing people in the church.

Why are we not able to significantly impact our own children and keep them as active members of the body of Christ after having the opportunity to influence them throughout their most impressionable years? We obviously are not doing much "impressing."

LIVE School of Supernatural Children's Ministry

If you have desired to become a student of our unique School of Supernatural Children's Ministry, this live event can be the kick start you need. Fifteen of the forty-five classes will be held live. Your registration fee can be applied to the full DVD set of the course so you can complete it at home
According to Barna research young people admit to being highly influenced by their role models but nearly half of all preteens admit that they don't have any role models.
What is stopping you from being the role model the children in your life are looking for?

The challenge is clear. We must reach the children of this generation with the true power of the living God to satisfy their natural hunger for the supernatural life.
Are you ready?
"Nearly half of the adults who attended church regularly as children and now bring their own offspring to church do not even know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, even after more than a quarter century of consistent church exposure!"~Barna
What are your thought on this?
Jesus said that others would know that we are Christians (Christ followers) by our fruit, not by our signs and wonders. Satan can do signs and wonders but God is the only one who is holy. Holiness is the defining line of who we are in the eyes of God and in the eyes of the world, not signs and wonders. What are you teaching your children about living a holy life?
According to surveys less than 24% of pastors list children's ministry as a top priority in their church. Children's ministry is seen as the bait to draw in the real prize in the churches--the adults. Yet children's ministries are what parents look for when choosing a new church home. How can parents find churches where children are important?
Imagine what the parents of Peter, James, John, Matthew, Luke and the other disciples must have been like. Little did they know as parents they were preparing a generation of young people that would change the course of history forever. The quality and integrity of their children speaks volumes about the quality and integrity of those parents. What will history say about your children's generation?

And God says, "I will now multiply the anointing on the ages from 8 to 17. they shall suddenly arise." Did you hear what the Spirit of God says? He will anoint between the ages of 8 and 17 in an unusual fashion this year. Look at your children, look at your grandchildren, look at your great-grandchildren. For God said, "I will raise them up, and they shall become the voices to this Nation." —Kim Clement, 2006

Back to the subject of little Muslim Kids vs. little Christian kids-what is it that Muslim parents know about training their kids that Christian parents don't? To learn the answer, listen to our free pod cast between me and a young spirit-filled man who was raised as a Palestinian Muslim.

Take kids beyond basic Bible stories into the deep things of God and see kids walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Little Muslim kids are being taught to take over. Little Christian kids are being taught to take off. Little Muslim kids are being taught they will conquer the world in end times. Little Christian kids are taught they can relax because they are going to be raptured in end times. Selah. Pause and think about it.

The Church has some strange ideas about what kids can handle and enjoy spiritually. Our children are victims of being trapped in an old wineskin of our preconceived ideas of what they are capable of experiencing as spiritual beings. We think all they can handle is cute little Bible stories. As a result our Christian kids are spiritually emaciated.
