Prayer Board Requests - A Word From Scott Hicks

Children have always been a threat to the enemy. He knows the indwelling potential they have--the potential has yet to be released. Therefore, he tries every trick in his book to lure them astray from the divine path that God has prepared for them.

We have to look forward to our young children's future. Someone once said, "The windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror!" The time has come like never before, for us to begin to focus on our children's future and less on our past.

"Train Up A Child In the Ways of The Lord and When They Are Older They Will Not Turn From It"

How many of you were raised up being taught of the Lord's ways? How many of you have been bringing up your child or children in the ways of the Lord? The time for your Kingdom legacy begins; for prophetic children are now coming forth. We have longed for the days when God pours out His Spirit upon all flesh. I feel these days are closer than we think. I think these days are going to be more incredible than we imagine, because God still desires to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all you and I can ask or even think.

God says in Joel 2:28, "...I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions..." He said that He would pour out His Spirit upon "all flesh," but the sons and daughters (the children) are the ones He said would prophecy--they are the ones He said would see visions and the old men will dream. I have a dream--my dream is that God will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, and that my children (my three daughters) will prophesy His Rhema word to the nations after their daddy is gone.

I Want to Leave Behind A Legacy

I know you think this way as well--when my time is up, I want to leave behind a legacy...I want to be remembered as a man of integrity, a man who raised his children up in the Lord--and they were able to stand on my shoulders and see further and clearer than I could ever imagine...I want to be a man who raised his children to have the mind of Christ--and they would never stop where there daddy did, but keep going further, so they can possess the promised land (His Kingdom On Earth As It Is In Heaven!)...I want to say to my children, "Daddy may get to see it one day; like Moses, but I want you to be able to possess and inherit it in its fullness!"

Your legacy only begins when you release your mantle to them--when you take their hands and place them on the steering wheel of the ship. Only then, will your legacy begin. I know that I am carrying on from another legacy, that is why I want to go as far as I can before my time is up. I want to be a part of His Kingdom on earth before I go, and so, I want to do whatever needs to be done to get there. If I should have to leave before the fullness of His Kingdom is on earth, then I want my children to go as far into Him as they can. I want them to go with the hope that they will inherit the Fullness of the Kingdom that their daddy sought so hard after.

If you are a person that has no children, I want you to remove this thought from your carnal mind. You have many sons and daughters. Just because you have no biological children, doesn't mean that you have no spiritual children! You have children--they are the beginning of your legacy. They won't forget the things that you have done for them. They won't forget the way that you influenced their lives. Allow them to stand on your shoulders and see the Jesus parade more clearly.

I took off with run-on sentences describing the legacy I want to leave behind. Not because you would know what I want, but the simple fact is--I know you want the same things as I stated above. You want to leave a legacy. You want to get your realm of influence as close to the fullness of the Kingdom as you can.

God Has Already Begun to Pour Out His Spirit

God is faithful. His word in this hour, is that He is very close to pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters will prophesy His word. The time has drawn nearer to us than we think. We can't leave a legacy with our children if we are only focused on getting out of here! Our inheritance IS THE Earth. Why would we want to leave our inheritance? We have to quit focusing on a "great escape," and focus on an Awesome Outpouring! Jesus told us to occupy until He comes. Could it be that we should be occupying? Occupy is to take occupation (WORK) and to possess. That is what we are told to do--Work and Possess whatever our feet tread upon.

No matter what your beliefs, you are still able to say this: "I would never desire a 'great escape,' I would much rather have a 'Triumph-Full Exit' that drops my God-given mantle to my children, so they can carry on where I left off. I want to make an exit of my life that will cause my children to see what daddy saw--but now, go--enter, possess, and inherit the Kingdom in its fullness!"

God is going to blow our carnal minds when He pours out His Spirit upon all flesh. Pouring is a process and God has already begun to pour out His Spirit.
