Children's Worship, Words, and Visions

August 12, 2007

 

After prayer, a boy in the class said God told him, that He is very happy with all the kids in class and that God wanted him to tell the class that God loves them and God is happy with all of them and their worship. 

 

 

 

 

We always begin by asking the Lord questions

 

Children on their faces before the Lord

Waiting on words and visions from the Lord

 

The following are the words some of the children received:

 

 

Lord, is there anything you want to show me?" Then, we close our eyes and listen to a worship song.  Or, read a verse from the Bible.

 

 

 

 

 

Destiny

 

 

Hope

 

 

Identity

 

 

Purpose

After our first song, a child had a vision about gates opening.  She saw a ladder come down from Heaven and people started going up the ladder.  And with her hands flung wide, she said, "the gates of Heaven flung open."

Vision of two trees:  God gave a vision of a little small tree with children standing around it and kicking it and beating it up.  The roots weren't very deep.  And then she saw a seed come down from heaven and the seed got planted and  another tree grew from the seed that came from heaven.  The tree grew big and the roots underneath the ground to the roots of the little small tree.  And the roots fed the little tree and made it grow big.  It grew so big that it went all the way up to Heaven.  And, there were angels from heaven that climbed down the tree to earth. 

One girl saw sheep playing and a ladder came down from heaven and Jesus came and got the sheep and took them up the ladder.

While playing the song, "Open the Flood Gates of Heaven", a boy saw Jesus picking up men and woman and children and taking them to Heaven. 

Another boy, said he had the same vision of Jesus picking up people and taking them to Heaven.

Angels were swooping down from Heaven and were protecting the cross. When asked what the cross meant, she said, it meant people and Christians.

 

Our Method of Teaching 

 

We teach children to listen to God's voice through meditation on His Word.  With practice, the children learn how to enjoy soaking in God's presence ~ breathing in His glory through Bible Meditation.  We ask the children to see if God speaks to them through pictures or words while the verse is being read to them.  They meditate to receive pictures and words from God ~ to hear His voice ~ this is intimacy with the Father.

Your children will come to know who they are in Christ Jesus and Who He is in them.  As they practice their Bible Meditation, they are becoming more sensitive to God's Spirit.  And, as their character joins with His nature, they are becoming a live expression of Who He is. 

It is our prayer (and make it your prayer too) that learning to meditate on scripture will bring your children into a deep awareness of His abiding presence ~ Once in His presence, He reveals His plan and purpose for each life at this time and place in history.
