Power of a Parent’s Blessing By Craig Hill; 240 pages Price: $14.99 Excerpt from pg. 12-15 of The Power of a Parent’s Blessing. Order your copy here. Every parent, regardless of the age of their children, should ask themselves this question: "Am I imparting God's message or Satan's message of identity and destiny to my children?" "I would never impart the devils message," you say. Not knowingly, perhaps. For example, a father might say, "Why can't you be more like your brother?" With those words he just devalued, or more accurately, cursed his son. Was that message from God or from Satan? A mother might say to a daughter, "Your father really wanted a boy." Imagine the pain of the daughter who is now trying to be daddy's little boy instead of daddy's little girl, a role she was never created by God to fulfill. Words have power. The words the devil wants you to speak to your children makes them feel unloved, worthless and inadequate. The words that God wants you to speak demonstrate unconditional love, worth, value, belonging and destiny. So, how do we as parents bless our children and avoid cursing them? It begins by learning to recognize the difference. That is why I wrote the book, The Power of a Parents Blessing. It's not about doing it perfectly; I have certainly made many of the mistakes I write about. But if you recognize a mistake that has been made, you can correct it and bless your child instead. Pastor Craig Hill and his wife, Jan, live near Denver, Colorado, USA. Craig and Jan give senior leadership to Family Foundations International (FFI). FFI is a non-profit Christian ministry through which life-changing seminars are conducted in many nations of the world. Craig has written several books, including his best seller, The Ancient Paths Through his past experience in business, missions, counseling and pastoral ministry, God has given Craig unique insight into marriage, family, financial and interpersonal relationships. This has resulted in his ability to identify for many people, root causes of relational conflict, compulsive habits, low self-esteem, workaholism, lack of financial provision and other undesirable life patterns, which are repeated from one generation to the next. By interweaving personal stories with biblical truths, God has anointed Craig to pierce through the veil of the mind to minister to the depths of the heart, resulting in real life change for many. The purpose of Family Foundations is to help churches re-establish in families the biblical foundations that cause life to work and people to prosper from one generation to the next. The primary tool which the Lord has given us to initiate this process, is the Family Foundations Ancient Paths Seminar (Formerly, "From Curse To Blessing"). In the Ancient Paths Seminar, we identify and minister to the participants regarding seven critical times in life when we are more vulnerable to receive either "God’s true image", or "Satan’s false image" of our own identity and destiny. Craig Hill's book, The Ancient Paths, provides a more complete description of the material covered in the Basic Seminar and the overall ministry of Family Foundations International. If you wish to order this book, or other books and audio teachings from our Bookstore please call, fax or phone us at the ministry address and phone numbers. I look forward to partnering with you in the restoration of biblical family foundations in the lives of God's people throughout the world.
