A couple of years ago, I had a dream... We were in a stadium with tens of thousands of Christians—moms, dads, grandparents, and lots of children. It was beautiful!
Lots of families were enjoying themselves, and I was one of the speakers for this Christian event.
The speaker before me was quite old and somewhat careless with her words. I was surprised that she was not more careful with what she was saying. Then I heard her say, about all the kids that were there, "Children are to be seen and not heard."
My heart was so heavy as the faces of the children present flashed before me. They were hurt, deeply hurt.
Then it was my turn to take the mic, and I simply said, "The children MUST be heard! The children have a VOICE that must be heard!"
I then knelt down in front of one child after another, looked into their eyes, and said, "You have a voice for this day. You have a voice that must be heard."
I awoke with the strong sense that we are on the verge of a "children's revival." The praises of our children have the power to silence the voice of the enemy.
May the children's voices be heard in our land again!
"You have built a stronghold by the songs of children. Strength rises up with the chorus of infants. This kind of praise has power to shut Satan's mouth. Childlike worship will silence the madness of those who oppose you." (Psalm 8:2, The Passion Translation)
