PROTECT OUR CHILDREN

Excerpts of “The Devil wants your Children” By Pastor M.L. Maughmer, Jr.

What would you do if I were to tell you that there is someone so perverted, so sick, so disgusting, so vindictive, so vial and so obsessed with your children that they will do anything in their power destroy their innocence, ruin their lives, rob them of the knowledge of God, and murder them both spiritually and physically. This person is not found on any post office bulletin boards, the police are not putting an A.P.B. out on him. There are no alerts saying that he has moved into your neighborhood. He is not registered with any child protective service group as a pedophile or anything like that. However; he is registered in the Bible in 1st Peter 5:8 as your adversary, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. His attacks are so insidious and heinous so meticulously calculated that he often has already crept in unaware and captured your children right before your very eyes. He wants to keep them from the knowledge of God and God’s promises, and he will use anything within his power, every trick in his book, to do so. He is subtle, cunning, and devastating. In 1962, the devil successfully got prayer thrown out of schools and he used a little loud mouth woman to accomplish his plan. Almost immediately things began to decline. Soon after prayer was removed from schools, there was a rise every year of teenage pregnancies to young school age mothers, alcohol consumption among the youth began rising, pre-martial sex had become common place, violent crimes escalated, drug use became more and more open and the list goes on.
Now in this day things are even worse, you don’t know if when you send your kids off to school that they will come home, you wonder is someone going to have been a ticking time bomb just waiting to exploded and today they walk in the school and open fire on unsuspecting children. Marvin Gaye asked the question “What’s going on”, well I have the answer to that question right now. The answer is that the devil understands that if he gets your children at an early age, he’ll have them for years, if not for their entire lives. He knows that since kids are subjected to, and give in to, peer pressure that there’s a good chance they will take their ideas and spread them like a disease running rapid through their entire school or neighborhood. He knows this because he has been walking to and fro in the earth seeking and watching. He knew that prayer was working. Every day in schools millions of children each day were calling on the name of the Lord and giving glory and honor to God. The devil saw the blessings it was having upon this country, and once he put a stop to it, he knew to replace it with a poisonous disease that would fester and grow into a cancerous death sentence. I told you he is meticulous and cunning and his works are devastating. Understand there are many spirits operating in the world today, that’s why it’s called spiritual warfare. Ephesians 6:12 says “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]”. Satan is a murderous villain, who comes only to kill, steal, and destroy John 10:10. This generation is being brainwashed by the Devil’s devices, they believe that “wickedness and witchcraft” is something good. All you find on television now is witchcraft, vampires, pornography and homosexuality this stuff is dangerous to adults and especially to our children. It desensitizes people to the consequences of sin. There are shows that portray teens as experimental and sex-obsessed, lying to their parents and sneaking out at night causing teenage girls to believe that this kind of behavior is appropriate sadly creating a false and dangerous expectation of what a teenager’s life should be like. So people of God when you allow your children to watch these television shows, go to these movies, and read these books and then you wonder why all of the sudden they can’t sleep at night, they have become disobedient and rebellious it is because they are under attack. You can’t let you children listen to any kind of music. Hip Hop music is nothing less than an advance course on fornication, rebellion, substance abuse, immorality, thug living, and total rebellion. We now have a generation of people who are desensitized, degraded, living searching for false hopes, abortion is commonplace, killing are at an all time high, woman are looked upon as a piece of meat and not the good thing that a man findeth. Teach them morality. Psalm 34:14 “Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it”. Teach them godliness and that the eyes of the Lord are upon them and He hears them when they call upon Him. Psalm 34:15 “The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry”.
Teach them that God’s face is against them that do evil. Psalm 34:16 “The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth”. Teach them to have a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Psalms 34:18 “The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit”. Teach them the Blessing of God. Psalm 34:19-24 “Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate”.
