NEWS FLASH....KIDS HEAR GOD....FILM AT 11

Karen Barnes's picture

Let's get something straight right off the bat. God loves, speaks to, and can use children! He did not create a junior Holy Spirit to dwell within them at salvation - they get the whole enchilada, because God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). His plan is for ALL flesh to know Him, love and have fellowship with Him, and serve Him out of that loving relationship. Nowhere in Scripture is there a separate plan for kids and adults. It's all the same!

In the past, we have relied on great programs, curriculum, teachers, and the occasional church revival to "stir things up" and educate our children on God. We've allowed others to lead them to Christ and hoped they would somehow pick up on how a Godly life should be led as they went to Sunday School and youth groups.

Today, God is calling everyone, especially children, to an intimacy with Him that goes beyond anything we've ever know before, and that changes the whole ball game! He's revealing Himself to kids through visions, soaking prayer, journaling, and wave after wave of Holy Spirit visitations that have been circling the globe.

Children have an innocence and purity about them that Jesus loves and is drawn to like a magnet. They are free of the baggage we adults carry around. They aren't worried about the issues of life yet! Children are also so much freer in their thinking - they don't reason things out the way we do. For these reasons and more, God loves to get through to them and use them! They CAN hear Him! They just need to be introduced.

But how do we do that, you ask?  We prepare them by encouraging their expectations and sharing our own experiences with them. We love them and lead them with His guidance, always keeping them by our side so they can observe and ask questions, and we are there to answer them. Then we bring our kids into the presence of God and ask Him to speak to them. He always does!

Children CAN hear God's voice for themselves. He desires to speak to each one of them and forge relationships with them that will form the basis for direction and establish destiny in their lives. Kids WANT to hear from God - to be able to communicate with the Creator of the Universe. Wow - it's like talking to the ultimate Superhero - of course they want to talk to the Builder of the stars and the Maker of the moon! In the next blogs, you'll read a few testimonies from kids who've actually heard and SEEN Jesus during their times of prayer. Amazing stories which WILL change your way of thinking!

I want to encourage you today, whether you are a parent, grandparent, kids leader or just KNOW a child - create expectation in them. Talk with them as you drive around, have a meal, before they go to bed, as they are passing you by at church or school, wherever you may connect. Share your excitement and love for Jesus with them - it will begin to ignite the desire for relationship with Him.

 

Karen’s calling is to bring children into the manifest presence and glory of Jesus, lead them in experiencing His deep abiding love, clear unmistakable voice, wise Godly direction for their lives, and to ignite a spirit-led passion for serving Him in many ways at any age.

She is available for children’s and adult conferences, retreats, church dates, camps, leadership training and regional equipping sessions. Fire For the Nations hosts a summer camp for kids and periodic kids mission trips during the year. Her first book, Kids Can! will be released soon.

Divine Healing Toolbox CD/DVD Set

by Mark Virkler | 1 CD, 1 DVD

Jesus healed all who asked Him and our goal is to be like Him! He commissioned His disciples saying, "Heal those...who are sick, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you'" (Lk. 10:9).

We begin with the assumption that we agree that it is God’s will to heal. Having prayed for healing for people for years, Mark has seen many wonderful miracles and also seen times when it appeared that very little happened. This short teaching describes some practical steps he has learned which make his prayers for healing more effective.

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny DVDs

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny DVDs

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 22 Video Sessions

Newly recorded for 2023! Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

How Do YOU Know? DVDs

by Mark Virkler | 12 Sessions

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series.

How to Speak in Tongues CD/DVD Set

by Mark Virkler | 1 CD, 1 DVD | Produced 2010

Speaking in tongues involves a miracle wherein you yield your vocal cords to the flow of the Holy Spirit, trusting that God is forming the syllables you speak into a language. It may be a language of men or of angels (1 Cor. 13:1). You choose to speak (Acts 2:4) but you choose not to form the syllables consciously, and instead let the Spirit give the utterance (Acts:2:4).

How to Walk by the Spirit DVDs

How to Walk by the Spirit DVDs

by Mark Virkler | 6 Discs

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
