"Your
child comes complete with a God-Ordained purpose, and they must be
governed and groomed to 'fulfill that purpose.'"
One of the most intense decisions in
life we must make as parents 'is when we release our children into the
hands of life, and to allow them the capacity to decide on what kind of
man or woman they would like to be.'
Releasing our seed 'is a very
powerful thing.' While they are with us, 'they can imitate a lifestyle
that they have not chosen for themselves.' As long as they are 'under
our roof,' our laws are the ones that are to be obeyed.
But releasing them to the reality of
their own sins, immaturity, and comprehension, is something entirely
different. They must be released to choose what to do 'with their sins.'
They too, must decide what to do with the Kingdom. They must decide to
make the teachings that were given to them in the presence of their
parents, 'their own life's food.' |

Our children
must also discover the Joys that come from Christ's forgiveness of sins
in their own life.' They must experience the reality that comes with
being 'delivered from the clutches of spiritual death,' as well as the
overwhelming joy that comes as a result of their own, personal awakening
in their God-Image!'
When you, as a parent, are faithful
to the responsibilities that come with your Divine Nature and Purpose,
it will 'free you from the guilt that can come as a result of your
children's wrong choices.' A faithful parent is not defined by an
unfaithful child, but by the integrity in which the parent has submitted
themselves to the Government of God.
Your child comes complete with a
God-Ordained purpose, and they must be governed and groomed to 'fulfill
that purpose.' However, in the midst of them 'coming into their
emotional selves,' they will experience the desire 'to test what they
have been given.' They will experience the desire 'to explore other
options and alternatives of the world.' This could turn into a fearful
time 'if you allow it to.' But rest assured, God will be with them, just
as He was with you.' |

It is a
hurtful thing 'to watch your child choose for themselves.' It can also
be a frightful thing to watch your child 'experience life for
themselves.' Even though you know 'their purpose, we must also give them
over to the process of identifying the God-Ordained purpose for
themselves.' They will never fulfill their destiny 'according to our
parental preferences.' But we can be assured that they will fulfill
their Calling 'according to the parameters and dynamics in which we too,
have believed the Word as it relates to our own destiny.' Pray that your
child 'matches or transcends your intensity of belief as it relates to
the Word of God.'
I desire for my children to match,
and even bypass, the faith of Bridget and myself.' I cannot 'create my
child's world.' But I can 'give him a perfect picture in which to
identify what true faith and commitment is.' I can become the perfect
example of commitment. You can also. It hurts to let go. But let go you
must.
