I remember this question being asked as the announcer was signing off an evening radio program. It was a reminder to parents as to the whereabouts of their children. In this generation of technology we must stop and know the whereabouts of our children.

We are promised in Isaiah 49:25 and in Acts 2: 29 that God will save our children. While Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17 declares "your sons and your daughters shall prophesy". God not only promised our children could be saved; He said they would be profitable to His Kingdom.  We must engender this in our children, when they're setting down, rising up and going through the day. Along with school and life's responsibilities, we must weave God's expectation into the fabric of their lives. Somehow they must take ownership and become active in their faith and understand their life is significant in God's plan.
  
Tragically only two in ten young people (20%) feel they are a significant part of the local church and only one in ten (10%) feel they play an important role in the Kingdom of God. This fosters a disconnection between a child and the church body. Too often the disconnection alienates a child from parents, family and church family. As a result the child struggles to stay faithful. As a pre-teen to young adult, they fall prey to temptations and seducing spirits. Drugs, alcohol and promiscuity are not uncommon and target our children for destruction. Yet there are menacing yet seemingly innocent vices seeking to lay hold on our precious children. These subtle beasts distract and beguile them, even in godly homes, powerful churches and active youth groups.

What are they? Video games, cell phones and computers can become habitual and destructive when unmonitored. Blogging on face book, myspace, Everyone Apostolic or UBUTI have become common places for our children to hang out. While we would never hook up cable television, You tube allows them access to any Hollywood sitcom or movie.  Instant messaging and texting from cell phones allow our children to adopt personalities and act them out in word play.  Unsupervised these things become the object of their worship.  The enemy's express purpose is to entrap our children in a prison of immoral conduct.

We cannot withstand the enemy alone but, as Daughters of Zion we can seek God together in dealing with these evil influences. Praying for understanding to address the issues which confront an entire generation, DOZ meetings bring a unity against destructive forces and an awareness of the technology that may affect our children. Staying involved in their lives and through daily prayer helps us to be sensitive to satan's attacks and prepares us to do whatever is necessary to protect the fruit bearing seed of future generations.
