How John the Baptist was going to walk in the power and spirit of Elias
Galatians 2:21
Grace sometimes can be frustrated, you can frustrate the grace of God
1 Corinthians 15:10
The grace of God is what makes people who and what they are
One of the first things kids learn is what upsets their parents (how the devil uses us against God)
You can be the reason why God's help is not reaching you (people tend to get mad at God instead of themselves)

Philippians 1:7

Turn the hearts of the children to their fathers
Malachi 4:6
Hearts of fathers turned to their children, and the children hearts towards their fathers—revokes a curse
Leave your father and mother's fight alone, you have no basis
We don't want to do things for people that will make them free
