0:00.0 | Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing |
0:06.0 | things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message. |
0:18.0 | I want to remind the parents today that you have the ability to pass on spiritual blessings |
0:26.0 | to your children. We can speak the blessing to our children, encourage them, lift them up, |
0:32.3 | but there's another transfer that the Bible talks about and it's one of the very first transfers |
0:37.3 | of blessing and it's called personal touch. Think about when your baby was born or there's a baby |
0:45.4 | in the cradle, you picked that baby up and before that baby can ever understand your voice of approval, |
0:52.4 | he senses your touch of approval. You hold that baby, you bring that baby close to you and you |
1:00.0 | just show the warmth and love to that child and research shows that when a baby is cared for and |
1:07.8 | loved by their parent that their brain literally begins to develop emotionally and they begin to |
1:14.0 | develop properly physically. See the power of touch is so important. It transfers a blessing. |
1:22.4 | We see this in Matthew 19 when the parents brought their children to Jesus. They brought their |
1:30.2 | children to Jesus so that he could put his hands on them and bless them. You see he could |
1:37.3 | transfer the blessing to them. Now we know that Jesus can speak a blessing, he healed people |
1:44.0 | without ever touching them but this case shows that there is a transfer of blessing also when you |
1:52.6 | feel that personal touch, when you have hands laid on you. Now I know that from the time that our |
1:59.4 | children were very little Joel and I would put our hands on them when we would pray for them. |
2:04.8 | We would touch their shoulders, we would hold their little hands, we would put our hands on their |
2:09.2 | head and we would begin to pray for them. Ever since they were very young and they experienced |
2:14.8 | this transfer of blessing so much that even now when they are 21 and 17 and they are going to |
2:21.9 | leave the house and we are able to physically pray for them with them in our presence, we still |
2:27.2 | put our hands on them and we begin to pray. I can literally feel my children lean into that prayer. |
