Your adversary the Devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour in your midst. You must reach out to the hearts and souls of your young ones. Reach out and draw them close to the bosom of David, close to the bosom of Maria, close to My bosom, that they may know Me and have contact with Me in a deep and personal way. Their contact with Me is the only thing that will keep them in the dark days. As the days grow darker and darker, their spiritual lives will depend on their connection with Me.
Will you not draw them in? Will you not be aware of the Devil's devices and his inroads, of the pull of worldliness that is coming into your camp and sucking your spirits? You must raise the standard against these inroads. You must open the eyes of your young people and lead them to Me. The choice is ultimately theirs to make, but you must expose the lies, doubts and deceits of the Enemy that they may make the right choice.
The warfare must be waged and fought in the spirit. For as I said, your Enemy is walking about seeking whom he may devour and snuff out. I ask that you pray for one another. Pray for strength, wisdom, anointing and discernment. Pray that you can be sensitive to the needs of others and that you'll rightly divide the Word of truth. Pray that you yourselves will be so full of the Word that you'll know what to give and be able to give an answer to him that asks it of you, to lead them in the straight and narrow. This is My call and My challenge to you, My shepherds. Will you take up the challenge?
