Malachi chapter 4, beginning at verse 5, “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.“

There is no substitute for the voice of a father. God made it that way. A father’s voice has the power to love and guide, while a child’s heart longs; though sometimes with seeming reluctance, to hear the voice of the father. This relationship is so powerful that is has the power to push back the godlessness of the last days of this world. It starts with the heart. Ask God for a heart for children, both your children, and other children that God has brought into your path.

Fathers, it’s time to pray!
