12c) ARROWS OF DELIVERANCE FOR VICTIM CHILDREN!

James 5:17-18 says, "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."

Last week, the Fox YouTube video of the day was about the brave little 11 year old from Yemen who fled from her parents who were giving her away in marriage. At our Family Devotions we have been praying for the city of Kano in Nigeria. One of the prayer points for this city is to pray for the high divorce rate caused by the forced marriages of 10 - 12 year old girls who become pregnant and damage their reproductive organs at delivery and are then divorced by their husbands. We are seriously praying for these precious little girls who desperately need arrows of deliverance.

If this little Yemeni girl's crying out to the world at the injustice of such an oppressive culture doesn't stir our hearts to intercede for these little victims of deliverance then we are cold-hearted and indifferent to such evil behavior. We must get our families involved in prayer for these injustices upon little innocent victims. I don't believe that the revealing of this video, coupled with the prayer points for Kano in Nigeria, was a coincidence. I believe that our great Intercessor at the Father's right hand, has brought it to our attention so that we will also intercede that God would provide arrows of deliverance from this terrible injustice.

Men, God has given you a wife and family for greater and higher reasons than only raising children. When you hear your children pray you will realize that they are God's arrows for deliverance.

Be encouraged.
