Satan has been trying to steal me from God since I was an infant. He attacked me as an infant when my mother was on drugs and she abandoned me. He tried to steal my peace when I was a child by using my aunt to abuse me physically and mentally. Satan tried to steal my joy when I was pregnant with my oldest son and I was completely depressed and wanted to kill myself. The devil has been trying to destroy me my whole life. The good news is, Jesus has saved me and redeemed me from my past. Jesus is my life, and Satan is pissed.
God chose His children before the Earth was formed. It is assumed that Satan has privy to that information, so it makes sense for him to attack God's chosen when they are children. Here's and example, before Moses was born the king of Egypt told all the Hebrew midwives to kill the boy children that the Israelite women were having because he didn't want the to grow up and possibly overthrow the kingdom ( see Exodus 1:15-17). Another example is Jesus himself. Before Jesus was born King Herod got news that a new king of the Jews/ the Messiah was born, so, he told the Magi (the wise men) to show him where the child was so he could "worship him too" (see Matthew 2:8). This was a lie, because when Herod found out where Jesus was, an angel of the Lord had already told Joseph (Jesus' dad) that he needed to leave Bethlehem because Herod was coming after baby Jesus (see Matthew 2:13). So, when Herod realized he was outsmarted by the Magi, he gave orders to kill all the boys 2 and under in Bethlehem and it's surrounding cities (see Matthew 2:16). This alone speaks volumes to the kind of fear Satan has toward God's chosen people, Satan will attack us when we are children. He does this because of the calling God has on our lives. We are called to bring Him glory, to win souls for the Kingdom, and to be a witness of His goodness.
Now if you look at society today, you will see a wide spread attack on children. Satan is using the gender identity movement to confuse our children into thinking they are something other than what God has called them to be. Satan knows his end is near, so he is trying to take down as many people as possible, including children. Since there are some parents that aren't keen on protecting their children, Satan's job is a whole lot easier, especially because there are more households that do not believe in God than those that do.
As for me and my household, we will serve God, I am bringing my children up in the ways of the Lord, not the ways of this world. If you don't know who God is, I invite you to message me and I will help as much as I can.
I will close with this, who are you serving?
Are you actively serving God, the Creator of the Universe, or are you serving Satan, the father of lies?
Do you know where you will spend eternity? You get to choose by the way.
I pray you choose Jesus.
