In the Reeds of the River

Releasing children to YHVH

I see that there are many young people who, just like Moses as a child, are being placed in the basket (the ark); the provision of God's care.

There are many parents in this nation who have been praying for young people and YHVH is saying that as you place them on the water and fully release them to Him, they will be established before Him in this land and He will save them for His plans and purposes but it requires you to yield them to Him and to leave them in His hands, rather than attempting to hold them in yours.

Just as many infant Israelites were being killed by Pharoah at the start of Exodus, there are many young people whom the enemy is wanting to destroy. There is an assignment against infants to try to manipulate them as they grow, to serve the 'gods of this age'. Do not be alarmed, there is hope.

As the mother of Moses placed her child in the basket on the waters and released him, the daughter of Pharoah saw him, had pity on him and brought him into her house. Then he was given back to the mother for a short season to be weaned before living with her permanently.

Jesus is not saying that your children will be taken from you, we can relax here. What he is saying is that if you want your child to be spared from the spiritual condition of what will come upon many, surrender them wholeheartedly to him. You will still care for them and look after them, but they will cease to be an extension of yourself.

Instead, you will be a steward for Him; a carer, a guardian, an overseer of His child. His promise to you today is that as you do, they will become a person who will grow into the fullness of all that He has called them to be.

They will fulfil their God-given assignment in this life.

Yet once again it requires you to give up control and being willing to release them to Him, wholeheartedly.

The fruit of their life will be traced back to your obedience in this small moment and you will certainly not lose your reward.

I heard YHVH say, 'Even to them I will give in My house And within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off'. (Isaiah 56:5)
