To Raise Holy Children?
It is no secret that fathers are in a great battle to keep your children holy and pure so they can enter into the kingdom of heaven. Never before has the battle been so fierce and seemly one sided. With arguably the bloodiest battle raging with disobedient baptized children whom reject the teachings of the Church, the bride of Christ.
Yes, the battle front is wide with many strong opponents, but remember it was Judas, one of the chosen, whom caused Jesus the most torment. Why else would Jesus say that it was better for him not to be born?
It is not our responsibility to build up the Lord’s army? Well, obviously we need all the help we can get. Of course, you know about the power of the Sacramentals, the Rosary, Confession, Holy Communion, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy among many other weapons. But here is one you may of missed.
The prophet Elijah. Remember him? The one so powerful with the Lord that he could control the weather, bring down fiery brimstone and like our Lady was assumed into heaven. He also has a great role to play to prepare our hearts for Jesus’ second coming. Yes, Elijah will come to this earth again.
What is Elijah’s exact role for his second coming. Scripture tells us best.
Malachi 4:5-6
- [5] “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.
[6] And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.”
His role is to heal the relationship of father to son and son to father. That’s good to know. It is quite the weapon for fathers, don’t you agree?
To invite Elijah into your house this Christmas. Like John the Baptist, he will prepare your hearts for the coming of the baby Jesus. And fulfill the Malachi’s prophecy of healing your relationship with God and your families.
What a weapon!
Fathers need to know about Elijah’s powerful intercession. Please post this or email to a friend.
Merry Christmas.
