Every Child Matters to God

There is nothing more urgent, more sacred, or more aligned with the will of God than loving Jesus with every fiber of our being—and then expressing that love by caring for the ones closest to His heart: the children.

Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, ‘Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” 

The children of the world are not an afterthought. They are not ministry side projects. They are not “the future.” They are the now of the Kingdom of God. They are the visible, tangible test of whether the Church actually understands the heart of the Father.

If the Bride of Christ doesn’t make loving Jesus and saving His children her top priority—what is she doing? What could possibly outrank this holy assignment?

Mark 9:37 “Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me...”

Is it building bigger buildings? Getting more views or followers? Arguing over theology while babies are aborted? Holding revival conferences while children are trafficked?

No. None of it matters if we fail the ones Jesus placed at the center of the Kingdom.

Matthew 18:6 “...but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck...” 

This is not soft language. This is Jesus—the fierce protector, the loving Shepherd, the roaring Lion—warning His people to guard the lambs.

And yes, our Father models perfect parenting:

He leads with mercy.
He disciplines in love.
He never abandons.
He feeds, clothes, teaches, protects, and blesses.

And He tells us:

Ephesians 5:1 “Be imitators of God, as beloved children.”

To reflect our Father is to care for His children. To walk with Jesus is to welcome the ones He welcomed. To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to carry the burden He carries—a burning love for the children of every tribe, tongue, and nation.

So what is more important than this? Nothing. There is no higher honor than to partner with the heart of God in rescuing, healing, and raising children who love Jesus.

Let this be the Church’s legacy. Let this be the Bride’s cry. Let this be the generation that gets it right.

Matthew 18:10 “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.”

From the womb to the threshold of adulthood, children—infants, toddlers, preteens, and teens—carry the fingerprint of their Creator. They are not only the future of the Church; they are the now of the Kingdom.

Genesis 3:15 “And I will make enemies of you and the woman, And of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel.”

Children are image-bearers of the Most High, uniquely crafted by His hands, and destined for a divine purpose. To love what Jesus loves is to love children.

Revelation 12:4–5 “And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth, he might devour her Child. And she gave birth to a Son, a male, who is going to rule all the nations with a rod of iron…”

To do the will of God is to protect, disciple, and raise them in the fullness of Christ. And to ignore this sacred assignment is to stand in opposition to Heaven itself.

Exodus 1:22 “Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, ‘Every son who is born, you are to throw into the Nile, but every daughter you are to keep alive.’”

The true crisis of our time is not political or economic—it is spiritual.

Matthew 2:16 “Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and he sent men and killed all the boys who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity who were two years old or under…”

And at the center of this battle is the soul of the next generation

Psalm 127:3 “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.”.

The children are not just under attack; they are being targeted.

Proverbs 6:16–17 “There are six things that the Lord hates, Seven that are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood…”

Satan has always hated the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), and children—literal, breathing, innocent children from infancy to age 17—represent the most vulnerable and powerful seed of Heaven on earth.

Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

Wherever God is preparing to release glory, the enemy attacks children.

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Pharaoh slaughtered Hebrew infants. Herod massacred Bethlehem’s babies.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 “All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.”

Today, the battle rages in abortion clinics, in hyper-sexualized media, in broken homes, and in school systems that indoctrinate rather than educate.

Psalm 139:13–14 “For You created my innermost parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.”

But God.

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”

God has not left us without instruction. He has not left us without power. He has not left us without purpose.

Isaiah 58:12 “Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.”

The call is clear, the mission urgent, and the assignment sacred: Save HIS children.

Mark 10:14–16 “But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, ‘Allow the children to come to Me; do not forbid them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.’ And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.”

The War for the Womb and the Destiny of a Generation

The battle for children has always begun in the womb.

Isaiah 49:1 “The Lord called Me from the womb; From the body of My mother He named Me.”

The war on the unborn is not merely a political debate—it is a satanic strategy. The womb is sacred. It is God’s original design studio. And from the very beginning, Satan has worked to turn the womb into a war zone.

Job 31:15 “Did He who made me in the womb not make him, And the same one create us in the womb?”

Why? Because every child is born with God-given purpose. Every infant is a potential deliverer, prophet, teacher, evangelist, and Kingdom builder. Every baby born into this world carries the potential to shake hell’s gates and usher in Heaven’s reign.

John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.”

Consider Moses. Consider Jesus. Consider Samuel, Jeremiah, and John the Baptist. Every one of them was targeted from birth.

Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness…”

Satan fears what children become.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 “Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes everything.”

He knows that if you stop a child from being born, you eliminate their future authority in Christ. He knows that if you distort their identity early, you can confuse their calling later.

Romans 11:29 “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”

He knows that if you can traumatize a child before they know their Father in Heaven, you can keep them in cycles of brokenness. This is why so many children are being assaulted by deception, abuse, confusion, and neglect.

Exodus 2:2–3 “And the woman conceived and gave birth to a son; and when she saw that he was beautiful, she hid him for three months. But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a papyrus basket…”

But the Lord is raising up a people—Grace-filled, Spirit-empowered, fearless in love and truth—who will fight back.

Luke 1:15 “For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb.”

And the Church must not be silent. Silence in the face of evil is agreement with it. To stand idly by while the next generation is ravaged is not neutrality—it’s betrayal.

Psalm 8:2 “From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established strength, Because of Your enemies, To do away with the enemy and the revengeful.”

We must return to the Word. We must return to the altar. We must raise up intercessors, fathers, mothers, pastors, teachers, Kingdom educators, and reformers who live and die by this cry: Save the children.

Matthew 2:18 “‘A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she refused to be comforted, Because they were no more.’”

Let every Grace Home become a sanctuary. Let every Kingdom parent become a prophet. Let every Christ-centered organization become a rescue station.

Isaiah 60:1–2 “Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you, And His glory will appear upon you.”

Let every believer rise up and declare war against the lies, idols, and demons that prey upon the innocent.

Ezekiel 33:6 “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned... I will require their blood from the watchman’s hand.”

This is not a symbolic calling—it is a literal mandate from Heaven.

Zechariah 8:5 “And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.”

As a Hen Gathers Her Chicks—A Holy Wake-Up Call to the Body of Christ

Matthew 23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.”

Jesus, weeping over Jerusalem, gave us a glimpse of the Father’s deep grief and burning love. It is not passive. It is not indifferent. It is not disconnected. It is maternal, urgent, and filled with yearning. “How often I wanted to gather your children…” The King of Heaven compares Himself to a hen—longing, brooding, guarding, gathering—because the heart of God is to protect what is most vulnerable and most precious.

The question is not whether Jesus wants to save the children. The question is—where is His Body?

We are the hands and feet of Christ. We are His ambassadors. We are His dwelling place on earth. And yet…

How have we allowed the children of the world to be sold, trafficked, prostituted, mutilated, and murdered by the hundreds of millions? RELIGION HAS FAILED.

How has this happened on our watch?

Jeremiah 5:31 “The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule on their own authority; And My people love it this way! But what will you do when the end comes?”

How is it possible that the Church, the very family of God, has allowed abortion to become normal? How have we allowed drag queens to enter libraries while Bibles are removed from schools? How have we allowed orphans to age out of broken systems while church buildings sit empty Monday through Saturday? How have we allowed kids to be fed to the algorithm, taught gender confusion, and baptized in secular propaganda, while calling it “education”?

Isaiah 59:14–15 “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, And one who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now the Lord saw, And it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.”

Where are the fathers? Where are the mothers? Where are the pastors, prophets, evangelists, and teachers who will say: Not on our watch?

Isaiah 1:23 “Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after gifts. They do not obtain justice for the orphan, Nor does the widow’s case come before them.”

The answer is heartbreaking: many are asleep.

Romans 13:11–12 “Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we first believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. So then, let’s rid ourselves of the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

THE Grace Awakening is more than a book. It’s a prophetic alarm clock. It’s a trumpet call in the middle of the night, shaking the Church out of complacency and comfort. It is a declaration that Grace is not passive tolerance—it is divine empowerment. And the time for awakening is now.

Titus 2:11–12 “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age.”

Likewise, Come Meet King Jesus isn’t a polite invitation to a religious gathering. It’s an encounter with the crucified and risen King, the One whose eyes are flames of fire and whose voice shakes the heavens. He is Jesus—alive and calling His Bride to rise and reign with Him.

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”

And the Spirit of the Lord is crying out:

Gather My children. Protect My children. Feed My lambs. Raise My sons and daughters. Stop the slaughter. Heal the wounded. Rescue the trafficked. Cast down every demonic lie that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he grows older he will not abandon it.”

James 1:27 “Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.”

This is our litmus test. This is how we are graded. JESUS!

2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth, so that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.”

Not by how many services we attend. Not by how many followers we have. Not by how many theological debates we win. But by how we treat children.

Matthew 25:40 “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of Mine, you did it for Me.’”

And the current report card is not good.

Revelation 3:1b–2 “‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, and yet you are dead. Be constantly alert, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God.’”

But Grace remains. Grace abounds. And Grace calls.

Romans 5:20–21 “But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

This is your wake-up call, Church. Beloved Body of Christ, rise up! Seek Jesus' face in prayer. Ask Him what He wants you to do, then do it.

Romans 13:11 “Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we first believed.”

Go to Jesus in prayer. Ask Him what He wants you to do NOW. Ask Him what He wants His Church to do. Ask Him how to help your brothers and sisters fulfill their divine assignment.

James 1:5 “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

Then repent. Not with lip service, but with full surrender. With ashes. With urgency. With groaning. With joy. With oil in your lamps and fire in your bones.

Joel 2:13 “And tear your heart and not merely your garments. Now return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in mercy And relenting of catastrophe.”

Because the Spirit of God is moving—and the most important assignment in the history of humanity is here:

Save the children.

Let this not be a slogan. Let this not be a campaign. Let this be your cross. Let this be your mission. Let this be your legacy.

Philippians 2:15–16 “So that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God… holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.”

Because Jesus is not asking for fans—He is calling for followers. He is not building a brand—He is building a Body. And His Body is supposed to act like the Head:

To love children. To fight for children. To die for children if necessary.

Jesus said:

Matthew 18:5–6 “Whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me... but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.”

This is not a metaphor. This is holy fear. Let every parent, pastor, leader, and believer tremble before this word. Then stand up, clothed in righteousness, anointed with Grace, and filled with fire.

Ephesians 4:15–16 “…speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together… causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”

Let us gather the chicks. Let us shield the lambs. Let us awaken, arise, and act. The hour is late. The fields are white. And the children are waiting.

Save the children.

A Kingdom Blueprint—Discipling a Generation from the Home First

The primary discipleship center in the Kingdom of God is not the church building. It never has been. It is the home. Awaken church, before it is too late.

Acts 2:46 “Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart.”

Romans 16:5 “Also greet the church that is in their house…”

1 Corinthians 16:19 “The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.”

Before there were cathedrals, there were tents. Before there were pulpits, there were fathers and mothers who walked with God. Before the first apostolic mission journey, there was Abraham teaching Isaac to build an altar. And before the great commission to “go and make disciples of all nations,” there was a charge from Moses to every family in Israel:

Deuteronomy 6:6–7 “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. And you shall repeat them diligently to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.”

God never outsourced parenting. He never subcontracted discipleship to pastors or programs. He entrusted children to their parents and commanded parents to raise their children in the knowledge of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:4 “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”

Proverbs 1:8–9 “Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, And do not ignore your mother’s teaching; For they are a graceful wreath for your head And necklaces for your neck.”

What does this mean for us today?

2 Timothy 1:5 “For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelled in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.”

It means that our homes must be reclaimed as the primary sanctuaries of faith, truth, worship, and spiritual formation. It means that parents must become the first pastors, prophets, and priests to their children. And it means that KINGDOM Empowered must champion this biblical mandate through the building of what we call Grace Homes.

Joshua 24:15b “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

What Is a Grace Home?

A Grace Home is not simply a Christian family living under one roof. A Grace Home is a household built on the unshakable foundation of God's Grace, saturated in His Word, and governed by the presence and leadership of the Holy Spirit.

In a Grace Home:

Children are taught their identity in Christ from infancy.
Worship is not confined to Sundays—it’s a lifestyle.
The dinner table becomes a pulpit of remembrance and blessing.
Discipline is restorative, not punitive—rooted in love and modeled after the Father’s heart.
Scripture is read, prayed, memorized, and obeyed.
Prophetic words are spoken over each child.
Forgiveness is practiced. Honor is taught. Holiness is pursued.

Grace homes are revival centers. And as they multiply, they will disciple a generation into the fullness of their Kingdom identity and mission.

We must shift our thinking: the Church is not a place we go; it is a people we become. And the children must become active participants—not spectators—in the life of God.

We must disciple children from birth, not wait until the crisis hits. We must train them in righteousness when they are teachable, not try to rescue them when they are hardened. We must fill their hearts with light so the darkness has no vacancy.

Grace Homes are God’s Kingdom strategy to produce holy offspring (Malachi 2:15), and KINGDOM Empowered is fully committed to this movement.

More than resources, Grace Homes builds relationships. More than information, they provide impartation. More than programs, they bring presence—God’s presence dwelling in the midst of the family.

When Grace becomes the atmosphere of our homes, it transforms everything. It breaks generational cycles. It restores what was stolen. It releases prophetic destiny. And it disciples not just individuals—but entire households.

Acts 16:31 “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” This is the Kingdom blueprint. And it begins now.

Rebuilding the Ruins—A Prophetic Call to the Church to Rescue, Restore, and Reign with the Children

We are in a time of divine reckoning. The Lord is exposing what religion has ignored, and He is raising up voices to cry aloud, “Prepare the way of the Lord!” Children have long been overlooked by institutional Christianity, relegated to basements, entertainment-based programs, or disconnected ministries that prioritize behavior over transformation. But in this hour, the Spirit of God is saying, Enough.

The Church must return to the foundations—to rebuild the ancient ruins, restore the dwelling places of God's glory, and reestablish homes as holy ground. And it begins with our children.

Isaiah 58:12 “Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.”

Children are not a demographic. They are a divine assignment. They are the first fruit of every household’s covenant with God. They are not a mission field—they are fellow citizens of Heaven and heirs of the Kingdom.

This is a call to the global Church: Rescue the children. Restore the children. Reign with the children.

Rescue the Children

The Church must rise up as a prophetic deliverance army—not just preaching to adults, but actively intervening on behalf of children in danger.

Rescue means:

Interceding in prayer for the unborn, the abused, the abandoned, and the trafficked.
Building alternative systems that protect children from demonic indoctrination and cultural confusion.
Creating Christ-centered environments where the vulnerable are safe and covered.
Funding and founding safe houses, orphanages, and advocacy services that stand in the gap.

We cannot expect ungodly systems to protect our children. It is the Church's job.

Proverbs 24:11 “Rescue those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to the slaughter, Oh hold them back.”

Restore the Children

Restoration is more than healing trauma. It is the reclaiming of original identity, calling, and Kingdom inheritance.

Restore means:

Teaching children the whole counsel of God.
Training them in righteousness, not just behavior management.
Leading them into personal encounters with Jesus.
Honoring their spiritual gifts, prophetic insight, and intercessory fire.
Surrounding them with mentors, fathers, and mothers in the faith.

Children are not “too young” to walk in power. The Holy Spirit is not age-restricted. And the Church must repent for withholding what belongs to them: the full inheritance of sonship.

Matthew 21:16 “Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself.”

Reign with the Children

This generation of children will not be spectators—they are called to be co-laborers in Christ.

They will:

Prophesy.
Worship.
Preach.
Heal the sick.
Cast out demons.
Raise the dead.
Build Kingdom culture from their bedrooms, playgrounds, and classrooms.

They will carry the banner of Jesus into unreached places, because they will go where adults cannot. And they will reign in Grace, not by works, but by identity.

Romans 8:16–17 “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.”

It’s time.

Let the Church rise in repentance. Let fathers return to their children. Let the prophets cry out again for purity. Let the builders lay stones soaked in prayer. Let the mothers anoint the heads of their babies with oil. Let the teachers open the Scriptures in every home. Let the worshippers teach the young ones how to sing. Let every believer receive this mandate:

Save the children.

The children are not the interruption. They are the intention.

The Spirit of God is blowing on dry bones. The ruins will be rebuilt. The streets will be filled with joy again. And a new generation will walk in the Grace we barely understood.

Joel 2:28 “And your sons and daughters will prophesy.” 

This is our moment. This is our mandate. This is our mission.

For the glory of Jesus, For the joy of the Father, And by the power of the Spirit,

Let us save the children.
