CHILDREN ARE SPECIAL GIFTS FROM GOD

July 21

eloved, when children come into the lives of my believers' families, it is a great day of rejoicing in heaven! At the birth of a child to the righteous in Christ Jesus the angels sing, and shout and the announcement is made all over heaven! Some of my children say, "We can't afford to have another child!" They see them as "liabilities" instead of the great rejoicing blessings that they really are! When a handicapped child is born into the family of the Child of God there is equal rejoicing in heaven! This "special gift" has been purposely sent of God and has been divinely allowed to be born to the righteous family as an opportunity for them to love the helpless and needy baby. This is a time of praiseworthy acknowledgement to the Father. At the birth of all children the Child of God should say, "Father, you have done a great thing by sending to us this child. We bless you and give you thanks for this gift from heaven! You alone know what is best for our home and family, and for that we praise you and give you glory for the birth of this/these children." See how you can give honor to the Father of Heaven who never fails to follow up the gift of children with the gift of provision. If you had a thousand children, each one of them would have a truly special angel sent from heaven to gather from the earth food, clothing, blessings, finances for future education, and a thousand other things that continue the blessings of God on the child if it shall live! Do you believe this? Then, if you have cursed any child born to any family of the Redeemed, it is time for you to confess it and repent of this cursing or evil speaking. Children of the Righteous are always a blessing and a gift from the Lord of Heaven!

Father, I bless the children--- everyone! I give you praise and thanksgiving for them each one and I accept them as your finest gifts to me and my family, through Jesus Christ my Lord, amen!
