Them Children are Prophetic!

Okay... last night with the kids... WOW!!! I was really nervous on how to teach little children to hear from God and how to deliver a prophetic word. I can do this with adults, but with 5-9 year olds... and a lot of them... not so much experienced with that!! But we prayed and I got some children lingo downloaded to me and last night was so incredibly fun.

We had 8 little tiny kids show up who were possibly the cutest kids I have ever seen. Also some of the most prophetic children I have ever seen. I guess when you simply believe that God will speak to you and don't have any theological issues or self-condemnation lies to push through, it is easier to believe.

In my adult teaching of the prophetic I always stress that we give positive words that follow the three "E's" which are Edification, Exortation and Encouragement. The chances of these children understand that were slim to nil, so God helped out and we came up with "God has nice things to say and it is always to cheer people up and to cheer people on." We talked for a while what cheering people up looks like and feels like and the same for cheering people on. It was quite funny.

We then progressed to what I teach as the "blackboard in your head". But for these kids it was the computer screen in your head. We can turn it all black and picture a pink elephant and it's the same way with God. We turn it all black and then ask God to show us a picture for someone. I also said about hearing God's voice, of which a few kids already have been hearing his AUDIBLE voice and we taught them about how God can talk to us through Bible Stories... of which these children also had a remarkable knowledge of!!

So then we started practicing. My goodness the words were so accurate and so encouraging. We were running for paper and a pen to write down what these kids were seeing and hearing. And it wasn't like, "I see bubble gum and butterflies" but it was, "I see you in a dark room and you are like a candle. The candle is getting brighter and all the darkness goes away." or "I see you in a castle and you are in the room with a throne. You have been given a sword that is really big and you are supposed to fight the devil." Something this little, little boy said to me was, "I see you travelling all around the world telling people about Jesus."

I was worried that these kid's attention wouldn't stay, but we did this for an hour and a half and they just wanted more and more. They were seeing people dance with Jesus, have angels come to them, the whole bit. And after we would always ask them if they felt like they were cheered up and cheered on. They always said yes and one little boy said, "I haven't felt this good in a long time!"

Today is my last day in Taber. I will be driving home tomorrow. Today Nathan and I went into the big town of Lethbridge and hung out for a while. Lethbridge has a Starbucks, so that made me very happy! hahaha... Tonight is one final prayer meeting, which I am really looking forward to, as are many of the people here. The hunger is really being stirred in this place, which is awesome! I'm more hungry too!!

Join us in the hunger! More, Jesus! Always more!!
