Fight for your Family

I was sitting and watching the show Orca Killing School on National Geographic. There is one particular scene that stood out in my mind. A mother seal that knew the pattern of the orcas hunting patterns was desperately trying to save her growing baby seal from the jaws of the orca. The mother seal saw the fin of the orca standing out of the water. The young seal almost the same size of the mother fought desperatly against her own mother because the young seal wanted to enter into the water. The scene of the mother seal fighting the way of her young, blocking the pups path from entering into the water was amazing, even though the young pup was screaming bearing its teeth. In this scene the orca was able to get another unprotected pup and drag it beneath the waves.

Nature mimics life and the spiritual. We must fight for our children, for our families. We must fight in the spirit if we love them. This is why prayer is so key to the protection of those whom we love. Those not covered in prayer are suceptible to the attacks and destruction of the enemy. We must wage war in the spirit against the influences in the lives of those whom we love from situations that can alter their emotional or mental stability making them subject to the destructive forces at work in the lives of so many. How painful it is to see a teenagers life slip away not knowing what went wrong.

"Pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." and again "Pray without ceasing"

Let us not let those whom we love fall pray to vices of the enemy. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith," 1 Peter 5:8
