98. PREGNANCY, BIRTH & BABIES    --page 786--

        
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward (Ps.127:3).

         1. A baby is the biggest miracle since the creation of the World!--Another immortal soul that is going to live forever!
         2. I don't believe you ever have a baby except by the hand of God! It is the hand of God Who creates a human soul!
         3. You're not going to have any babies except the ordained souls of God & children of God He intends for you to have!
         4. "Knew" disciples are the best disciples of all, because you can begin training'm before they're even born!
         5. A baby is an expression of God's Love.
         6. The Lord put her in human flesh--your flesh, Honey! You clothed her in human flesh! You wrapped her in a robe of flesh! The Lord put her in your tummy & you did your best to make her beautiful, you wrapped her up in your human Godly flesh, & she's so beautiful! I don't think I ever saw anything in this whole World so beautiful!
         7. A baby is a small member of the home that makes love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, the bankroll smaller, the home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten & the future worth living for.
         8. The Devil hates babies, children, conception & childbirth, because if he could stop all that, man would die out completely!
         9. A man is done when the night is over, but a woman has yet to be fulfilled, & that's to become pregnant & have a child--that's
her greatest sexual thrill!
         10. The
Lord is the One who gets you pregnant! A man can fuck you a thousand times a day & never get you pregnant unless the Lord ordains it!
         11. Only the physical
body is put together on Earth, that's all...The Bible doesn't teach that you inherit your spirit from your mother or your father--it's from the hand of God!
         12. One thing the Lord seems to love is lots of babies. It's one way that He has of growing His Kingdom, besides winning souls & witnessing.
         13. Multiplication is the name of the game--the first commandment God ever gave to man & woman!: "Be fruitful & multiply!"
         14. God's never been afraid of over-population, and He doesn't believe in birth control.
         15. "Family planning" is nothing but defiance of God and attempting to design your own future, unwillingness to trust God, attempting to take things out of His hands, refusing to create the lives He has ordained, and saying that you know better than God!
         16. The stork & the obstetrician do have one thing in common--their large bills.
         17. People who sleep like a baby probably don't have one.
         18. Your dear little baby has come from above
         Filling your home with sunshine & love!
         No treasure on Earth is so precious or rare
         As the dear little one God's placed in your care!
         Show kindness & wisdom, & in all that you do,
         Your baby will learn life's values from you.
         A wee bit of Heaven bestowed upon you,
         With baby's arrival your dream has come true!
         19. A babe in the house is a wellspring of pleasure, a messenger of peace & love, a testing place for innocents on Earth, a link between angels & men.
         20. A tiny blessing from God above, soft, sweet & precious, who, with dimpled cheeks & laughing eyes, is God's perfect gift to you. An angel sent down in disguise, who calls herself your own. What could be greater than a baby in the home?
         21. Sunshine & laughter & warm little tears
         Are things you will cherish throughout all the years.
         Soft chubby fingers & love sweet & true,
         All part of this baby that God sent to you!
         22. It is almost like I created her, formed her by my faith & my will & my decision & my prayer. This is the child of my desire. It's almost like I designed her like an artist paints a picture, picks up a brush & uses the paints to design the creation he desires, then casts aside the brush because he has the reality, the fruition, the creation.
         23. The greatest works of God take a long time. It takes God time to grow a flower or even to paint a sunset & especially to grow a child & to make a whole life!
         24. Every one of you mothers is a Madonna & every one of you is having Jesus' babies.
         25. If God gives you a baby, then He must know that you can be a mother, & a
good mother. If you're not a good mother, He wants you to learn to be a good mother.
         26. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the World!
         27. Having babies is one nice thing you don't have to worry about. You leave it entirely in the Lord's hands. Then you know it's God's will if you have one.
         28. I don't think any child is an accident.
         29. Pregnancy is very important, & anybody that would want to kill the growth & birth of a human soul, once God had breathed into that human soul the breath of life, must be some kind of a monster! How horrible!
         30. A baby is a little bit like Salvation. It's a gift, but if you have it, it causes a lot of hard work. "Faith without works is dead," (Jam.2:26) & a baby without hard work could be dead too!
         31. Bearing babies & having children is the greatest experience in this natural life.
         32. Babies are eternal gifts we are training, not just for time, but for eternity!
God is the Creator of pregnancy, not just merely some man loving a woman. He created those children, not you. You were merely the human instruments that God used.
         33. I don't believe that any human being, any human spirit, is created without the touch of the Divine, the touch of the Hand of God!
         34. You were
chosen by God!--You didn't just happen by accident.
         35. Do you know why a pregnant woman looks so satisfied & contented?--Because she's fulfilling her mission as a mother, she's bearing fruit!
         36. Artificially induced
abortion brought on purposely is murder, no matter what else you want to call it!
         37. No child is an accident!--
God did it, & He doesn't make mistakes, so who are you to question it?
         38. The most precious priceless thing which God ever made is a human spirit & soul!--A
baby!
         39. God's Gift
is God's work. Children are the gift of God, but they're also the work of God.
         40. If we're one Family at all & we're brothers & sisters, we should
all be concerned about our girls who are pregnant.
         41. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman! And I'm sure in the eyes of God only the human soul is prettier than a woman's body, His crowning creation of the physical world! Hallelujah! Amen!
         42. Birth control is of the Devil! God doesn't want birth control, He wants birth out of control! He wants lots of babies!
         43. The best kind of disciples & converts are born in the Family & raised from scratch! In fact, even before they're born, they're influenced & blessed & given good bodies & spirits!
         44. You can try as hard as you will & fuck ten times a day, but if it's not God's will for you to have a baby, you're not going to have one!
         45. If you get pregnant & have a baby you know good & well it's of God! I don't care whose it is, it's God's will!
         46. Do you realise what Mary went through to have Jesus? She had to be looked down on, spat on, scorned as an unwed mother! As far as the World was concerned, Jesus was a bastard--nobody knew who the father was.
         47. We are diametrically opposed to abortion! It is murder, it is infanticide, it is child killing, it is horrible!
         48. Our babies ought to be the best babies in the World, born to the best parents in the World, doing the best job in the World for Jesus!
         49. It is essential that all of the members of our Family know at least a little about the delivery of babies at home--or anywhere, as it is a skill that may be needed in case of an emergency.
         50. Experience is not a prerequisite in an infant's care. Thousands of women all over the World who have not had the slightest bit of experience have babies every day! All that's required is a lot of love & the enormous dedication it takes to learn!
         51. It's worth paying the price of a little sickness & weakness during pregnancy. God is using it to create an immortal soul.
         52. God uses humble little funny women to do one of the most important jobs there is next to soul-winning--having babies!
         53. In conception, it is the Spirit that quickeneth & the flesh profiteth nothing. The flesh is a mere vehicle, a tool, but it's the Spirit that brings life & a new human soul into being.
