My husband could always walk in our house and KNOW when the kids were doing something they weren't supposed to be doing, even before he saw them. But he has prophetic gifts, so he has a lot of discernment. Me? I just listen to him. LOL! I tend to think the best about everyone unless proven wrong.

Chance and circumstance happen to every man.
God gives spirit-filled parents insights about all sorts of aspects of parenting, not just criminal justice.

Criminal justice? How did you get that out of the first post? I said nothing about breaking criminal law. It was about children disobeying parents.

Well, I need to call it a night. I have work in the morning. If I think there are enough responses I will expound on why I started this thread then.

On the other hand, it sounds almost like the same line of logic that says if a church member disobeys the pastor, and then has some sort of ill event occur that it was God showing the pastor what the person did or punishing that person...I'm not sure He works exactly like that or if those conclusions can be drawn.
As for my own children...I certainly think God speaks to parents, and sometimes I think God allows things to happen in a child's life to teach the child a lesson, and not necessarily to apprise the parent of what is going on.
So I guess...I don't know. I think He can, but I don't know that He does or that He will....I also don't think that if He doesn't reveal a child's disobedience that it necessarily translates into God not honouring the authority of the parent.....
I don't know that God punishes children in order to honour the authority of a parent....

This is how I feel as well.

But seriously, there have been a few times I have felt that a lie about something important was revealed to me. I hope and pray it's true, because they will only get better at lying as they get older!

So you understand the point I am trying to make about God revealing disobedience because of Him honoring the authority a parent has over a child?

Of course, parents like to use that threat trying to scare kids to behave.

that s right we just find out things sometimes when they happen or we spy on them and find out, it works good either way, lol,dt

I'm with you on this one. I read the two choices and I think that too many people on this forum are bored to think about such a thing. Kids are kids and they usually tell on themselves or the parents can just remember back...and just know what trouble the kiddos are getting into
