The Children and Youth Are Sheep Without Shepherds

I was in worship, and I pulled a rhema from Mother Angelica's book, “Life Lessons”. The title was Trusting the Lord in Trials. The passage made me realize that Jesus was in a trial too.
When we go through suffering we become so self-absorbed we forget Jesus not only suffers with us but He, himself is going through a trial. That is why He asked for our assistance in carrying the cross. He needs our comfort, our attention, our presence, and our trust.
I came before Him. Jesus, you are also going through a trial. I am sorry Lord; I sought You without trusting You. Please forgive me.
What’s on your heart?
Jesus began,
“I too suffer when My brides suffer, My beloved. There is so much going on than what meets the eye. So much, My beloved dove, so much.”
Well, help me to stay here in the garden with you, Lord.
“Can I trust that you won’t fall asleep?”
Immediately it brought me to the scripture because I sensed that Jesus was in the Garden at Gethsemane.
Matthew 26:36-46
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and told His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”
39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40 And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? 41 Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink from it, Your will be done.” 43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And He left them again and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
45 Then He came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!”
Lord, in my pride I would have immediately said yes to not falling asleep. But the truth is I need your grace, not only to not fall asleep but to not run. Forgive me, Lord.
“Well, that is honest and very true,” He said, smiling.
“And that grace I will give to you and all My brides who will accept My invitation to enter into the garden of Gethsemane with Me. That is where I am at this moment.”
As I watched Jesus sweat tears and drips of blood saying, “Father let this cup pass from me but nevertheless, not My will be done but Yours”
I wondered, why is he suffering? What is it that He must do or go through that is coming?
And Immediately [after] I said that in my heart, Jesus beckoned me to come and kneel beside him and pray.
Jesus continued,
“Although things are moving forward in your nation, darkness has swept the earth like never before. Brothers murdering brothers, parents turning on their own children, children turning on their parents. Hate has taken a new form in this demon of division and racism, accompanied by murder. You have children killing other children.” Here, Jesus wept.
“These precious innocent souls I created to be full of life joy and hope are now full of malice, jealousy deceit, vanity, and the world at such a young age. Not to mention the perversion and sexual immorality that is why I had you do a Novena to St. Philomena for the purity of this generation. My heart longs to see the youth, the little ones come to Me. But Satan has done a great job in masterminding distractions in the form of entertainment to keep parents entertaining their kids with demonic shows that cause such damage to their souls, Only if they knew. Only if they could see what I see.”
I then had a vision of a young child at the age of three watching a particular cartoon. I didn’t know the name or what it was, but I then saw little demons coming out from the TV. They were tiny, almost the size of small fairies but they came and surrounded the child. Some jumped on its shoulder, around its legs and arms as they heckled and laughed. Once the TV was turned off they stayed with the child even as the child was put to sleep. They were in the crib with the child. I sensed that they too grow with the child as the child grows to influence them somehow in bad ways, with thoughts, attitudes, and dreams.
Lord, wow, putting a child before a screen is so common now. It has become the norm.
“Exactly, Beloved, even those who call Me their own do not listen to Me concerning this. That is how much they have confirmed to this world. Soon the child grows to have an addiction to watching uncensored, desensitized things that affect it gravely and parents wonder why so many of their children are fighting depression, anxiety, fear, and addiction. It's because of all of this. I said in My Word to train up a child the way they should go. And how should a child be trained? In My Word. Fathers should sit their children down and teach them My Word. Even from infancy read it to them.”
Deuteronomy 6:7 came to my mind.
Teach them diligently to your children and speak about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.
Here, Moses was talking about the Ten Commandments.
“That is what I desire for you to do to your own children. Do not slack on this, it will be very fruitful for them. My word is alive, My people, it is Spirit. It doesn’t matter whether a child can comprehend what is being said but it’s seeds of eternal life being planted in their soul by their spirit which is setting them up for a sure foundation to bear fruit at the proper time. So, do not neglect this, My brides, if you haven’t started. Do you have a troubled child? A child who is heavily oppressed, depressed, or [has] dysfunctional behavior?
"This is your weapon and healing of choice that will help bring about their deliverance. Just sit and read My word before them. Read My word in their room or at their door daily loudly, to their hearing, and My word will be used like a sword to cut down strongholds and rout out demons. Do this for all your children, My brides whether ill or healthy, this is a sure way to keep their innocence and heart guarded in these times because it will only get darker and harder as time goes on, My beloved brides.
"That is what I am suffering for in this hour, the children and youth of this world who are lost like sheep without shepherds. Stand with Me in My hour trial. Pray for them too and do what you can by raising up your own children in My ways and teaching any other children, I send your way, the truth in My Word, because it will not return to Me void.”
That was the end of Jesus’ message.
