Today I am struck by Luke 1:74-75 for me and as a blessing over my children, Luke 1:76-79:

Nichole, know that God will perform
"the oath which He swore to our father Abraham: To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life."

 This I speak over my children:
"And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways. To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

I know that my children may not all carry the role or "position" of "Prophet" as the Bible speaks. Perhaps they will. But I pray that each of them is used in the gifts and callings that our Father has for them with power, authority and an anointing of God's presence that is undeniable and life-changing both for them and those within their sphere of influence.

In Jesus' name. Amen.
