Ethan Alexander: Firm, Strong, Defender of Men. This is what we speak over our baby boy every night before bed. You can almost see it in him, even at 1 year old.

A name is a powerful thing. It is the very first prophecy spoken over your child! It is no coincidence that I conceived 2 boys in an unfavorable womb. It is simply God’s perfect plan.

What names have you given your children? What are you speaking over them? Are you asking God daily to help you nurture, guide and love them with wisdom towards the calling He has on their life? We may not know exactly what they will do, but we sure have a say in who they will be! Rise up, parents! Don’t be afraid to declare loudly the promises and characteristics of God over your children EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!
