Family Warfare

The enemy is waging war on relationships, marriage and family in these times. What was once covert and hidden, is now becoming clear. I am revealing his plans to you, that you may stand against. I am bringing restoration where the enemy wishes to cause devastation. You have already been caught off guard with unexpected diagnoses, unforeseen circumstances, cracks in relationships and communication breakdown. Beloved, do not be shaken by these, for I am not asking you to face them alone. 

Do not be fearful in these times, for My perfect love casts out fear. Remain in Me, as one with my Spirit, and I will stir up your love for others in supernatural ways. Do not become complacent about guarding those that you love – be vigilant and ask Me to reveal to you the strategies that you need, so that you can stand.

Stand and not be shaken. Trust that I am already fighting on your behalf. I go before you, and will defend you. Have I not spoken promises to you of family, health and unity? Hold onto those promises now, for My word is always true. I am asking you to love well – prioritise time together as an act of warfare.

Bring fun and joy as a weapon against the heaviness. Keep lines of communication open; trust one another, even as the enemy seeks to divide you. For I am releasing My blessings upon your family, even as opposition comes. Your faithful surrender is a sweet aroma to me, and I will meet you there in encounter and release.

Activation

Release any fear & anxiety that you are holding about certain family/relational situations over to Jesus, exchange them for peace and confidence; holding firm to the promises that he has given you. Bring each member of your family before the Lord in turn. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you any opposition coming against them, and ask for a specific strategy to counteract this. Spend time interceding on their behalf. Now, as an act of warfare, schedule family time and date nights into your diary –intentionally pray over that time as you do so; that God will release blessings and encounters as you spend time together.

Psalm 18:31-37 (NIV)

For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great. You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way. I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. 

Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV)

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every

opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the

Lord’s will is.
