The only thing standing between your family and destruction is Jesus Christ!
If we don't invite destruction and filth into our homes then there is no other way of entering, so don't invite filth and destruction in to your homes!
Three main points from Scripture found in Joshua 2:12-21
1) Your family can be saved regardless of your background
*Rahab was a prostitute
Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there. Joshua 2:1
*Despite her background God saved her and her family and she was in the blood line of Jesus Christ (See: Matthew 1)
"5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,
Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,
Obed the father of Jesse,
6 and Jesse the father of King David." Matthew 1:5-6
2) If your family is to be saved then you need yo do your part
*Rahab needed to bind the scarlet cord on the window of her house and keep her family in that house
"17 Now the men had said to her, “This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house. 19 If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads; we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on them." Joshua 2:17-18
*Cover your loved ones with the blood of Jesus Christ, Pray and fast for your loved ones
"11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands,that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption." Hebrews 9:11-12
*When you bind the scarlet cord on the window (when you bind the truth in the hearts of loved ones, the truth about Jesus Christ) and destruction comes (when False teachings come) it will pass our loved ones without touching/moving them.
" 1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2 Timothy 4:1-4
3) You have to stand your ground and guard the window
*You have to guard your home from destruction with His blood
"The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt." Exodus 12:13
*Train your children in accordance to God's word and they won't forget it when they grow up
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
