"Adopted"
- When
we give
our
lives
over to
the
Father,
we
discover
that He
adopts
us.
We’re
not
orphans.
He takes
us in,
because
He loves
us &
we are
His
kids.
It’s not
because
of
anything
we can
do or
have
done,
not
because
we’re
better
than
anyone
else,
not
because
we
succeeded
through
hard
work
where
others
have
failed.
Before
the
foundations
of the
world.
He
picked
us out
to
receive
His
grace &
mercy, & He
just
loves
us.”

Banks, Bill - Deliverance for Children
& Teens book Section How Demons
Enter -
Gate of Childhood Trauma - At Birth @
http://www.goodnews.netministries.org
Those adopted, in
most likelihood, need deliverance from the spirit of abandonment,
rejection, & self-rejection.
What is said in the delivery
room gives the enemy opportunity to adversely affect the newborn...
"An individual can receive a(n evil) spirit from the moment of birth (due
to Adam's/Eve's original sin & due to
careless words spoken in the birthing room).
Not only that,
"If a fetus has the capacity to receive the Holy Spirit
(as John the Baptist did),
then it is certainly logical that a fetus has the capacity to receive an
evil spirit.
There are 2 main routes by which an evil spirit can
gain entry to a fetus...
1st...the root of inheritance...2nd...through trauma or fear experienced
by the mother... The character of Satan" is "to mount an attack upon the
weakest & most defenseless victims...Children, I believe, are even more
vulnerable than infants, because their consciousness is developing, as are
their minds, tier wills, & their awareness of right & wrong."
Adoption "Adoption invariably necessitates
deliverance because of abandonment. We have yet to encounter an
adopted child who did not have this kind of (abandonment) spirit...The
ancestral lines of 4, 2 natural & 2 adoptive, individual parents are involved presenting
the possibility of 4 potential sources
for inherited spirits."
"Adoptive parents often stand in need of deliverance also" & assume the
adopted child's negative behavior "is the true feeling of the
child...Often times, deliverance can come merely by seeing the truth.
Jesus said, 'The truth shall set you free.'"

Copeland, Germaine Prayers that Avail Much

prayer
Mark 9:37 Message -
Jesus said, "Whoever embraces 1 of these children, as I do, embraces Me."
"Father, take this child up & be a Father and Mother to him/her,
as we extend our hands & our hearts to embrace him/her.
Thank You for the blood of Jesus that gives protection to this 1 whom we love.
We thank You for the man & woman who conceived (& who adopt) this child & pray that
You will bless them...
If they do not know Jesus, we ask You, the Lord of the harvest, to send
forth laborers
to share truth with them, that they may come out of the snare
of the devil...
You cause us to find favor & good understanding with You & with man:
the adoption agency staff, the judges, & all who are involved in this decision-making process...
for
they (these children) have angels who see Your face continually in heaven...
Lord, we are looking to You as our Great counselor & Mighty Advocate.
We ask for Your wisdom for us & our attorneys.
Father, contend
with those who contend with us; give safety to our child & ease him/her day
by day...
No (evil) weapon formed against us and this adoption shall prosper;
any (false/ malicious) tongue that rises against us in judgment
shall be shown to be wrong.
This...(holy advocacy)...is our inheritance as Your children...May it be
done unto us according to Your Word" (& according to Your predetermined
destiny of this child, whom You love & foreknew, before the foundation of
the world. May Your perfect will & not ours be accomplished.
Thank You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.) |

Adoption and
Hospitality Should Replace Evangelism by Yaholo
Hoyt
- The Power of Adoption -
"When most people think
about the term 'adoption' we usually only think about
a family adopting a
child.
However, to 'adopt' is 'to bring into your family.'
Adopting
a child
is certainly the most potent form of adoption, but there are many degrees
after that.
You can adopt a single mother, & her children, into your
family
(speaking relationally, not legally).
You can adopt the alienated &
lonely into
your social circles.
You can adopt those outside your
socio-economic status into
your community.
Like adopting a child, it is a
commitment to say that no matter
who they are, or what happens, they are
family." |

Childless adults in heaven may adopt infants whose parents did not make it
to heaven, and raise them as their own. |
Reserve Children are those set aside for
adoption in heaven for those who never had children but wanted them.
(They may or may not include those who were aborted, miscarried, & whose
parents did not make it to heaven.)
Some of these will always remain children.

MacNutt, Francis & Judith - Praying for
Your Unborn Child -
www.christianhealingmin.org
A fetus can recognize if he is wanted. If not wanted, a spirit of rejection
can hook in.
Infant baptism can fill a child with the Holy Spirit (as perhaps John the Baptist was in the womb),
but also provide protection from the evil 1. The Roman Catholic
church's infant baptism liturgy includes the rite of exorcism, just in case the
infant has picked
up demonic influences from others, recognizing that an
innocent person can be invaded by an evil spirit. |
| |
ORPHAN Spirit - can be an evil spirit oppressing or indwelling or
just a personality bent.
Amanda Buys contends, "We do not cast out an orphan
(broken/abandoned/rejected spirit or more aptly one's spiritual) heart,
but it (the soul) must be introduced to a Loving Father and then be
willing to receive the Father. If we do not allow ourselves to be
fathered by the Father of Creation, it becomes very easy to be deceived by
the father of lies, the 1st, Chief spiritual orphan." -

ORPHAN Spirit - Some characteristics of the orphan spirit:
https://cbgrace.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/how-to-pray-for-an-orphan-spirit/
- Unable to put down roots in a church (relationship/family) or change
churches (relationship/family) frequently
- Always on the look out for something bigger and better
- Feeling based faith (if it feels good, feels right, etc then I will
follow it).
- Need recognition
- Easily offended
- Feelings of abandonment even when one has not been abandoned
- Attitude of “No one is going to tell me what to do”
- Attitude of “I know…” (Is seldom teachable.)
- Survivalist Mentality always looking out for oneself
- Never truly comfortable in the presence of anointed spiritual father
- Reject others before they can be rejected

(Sometimes scripture translators interchange words such as: soul & spirit.
Regardless,
to a large degree, the basic spiritual principles would apply.)
The Slumbering Spirit -
http://harvestvineyard.ca/Thoughtworks/CPCC/Slumbering.pdf
"Deep
(soul) wounds & trauma will break the personal spirit (Proverbs 18:14).
A broken (sleeping) spirit (heart) is like the death of the inner man.
Feeling, revelation, & the ability to receive love is no longer there.
It's like 1 is alive, but nobody is home!" (The children's story of
Snow White might be a good illustration of this idea.)

Souz,
Katie - 1/12/2017 Newsletter - He Lives In Me - Lesson 2
-
Last week we talked about how we are reclaiming our
inheritance, which God gave us when He created the heavens. I explained
the connection we have with time & space. God is not subject to time or
space...I love that our God is bigger than His creation...
I love He lives in me. Through the power of His Spirit, I am part of Him &
He is part of me, means I am able to do things in time & space with Him.
As we reclaim our inheritance, it is important to remember who we
are,
who we are created to be, & be willing to go where He sends us.
How do we begin to reclaim our inheritance; how does this relate to Soul
Healing?
Remember Hezekiah & his blood line? Look up
Isaiah+38
again & read it...
Play it out loud in your house, or while you sleep. Faith comes by hearing & hearing by the word of God.
As we fill our ears & eyes with this chapter, our faith will strengthen
for the belief
that God uses the cosmos to go back through time in our bloodlines as
well.
Some will say what I am proposing is impossible because the planets aren’t
going to stop spinning, then go in reverse for me. I agree but that
can easily happen in the spirit.
What happens in the spirit dimension is superior to what
happens in this dimension.
In fact this natural world was birthed out of the spirit realm,
so whatever happens there affects us here.
[Holy Trinity & holy host, we invite You to perform spiritual surgery on our
souls & relationships, to bring our past/present/future into alignment
with You foremost & if/when it is foreordained, into holy relationship
with each other. Double thanks. Amen.] |

4He
(Father God) chose us in(side of) Him before the foundation of the world,
that we would be holy & blameless before Him. In love
5He
predestined us to adoption as sons (offspring/heirs) through Jesus
Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
6to
the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the
Beloved.
7In
Him we have redemption through His (1st Son's) blood (DNA), the forgiveness
of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
8which
He lavished on us. In all wisdom & insight
9He
made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention
which He purposed in Him
10with
a view to
an administration suitable to the fullness of the times,
that is, the
summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens & things on the
earth. In Him
11also
we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His
purpose Who works all things after the counsel of His will,
12to
the end that we who were the 1st to hope in Christ would be to the praise
of His glory.
13In
Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your
salvation, having also believed, you were sealed
in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14Who
is given as a pledge (title-deed/down-payment/diamond/ engagement-ring) of
our inheritance, with a view to the redemption
of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. |

COMMENTARY: Sometimes the
adoptive
child feels the need to locate his/her biological parent/parents & is successful
at doing so. Sometimes this can be redemptive to either &/or both
parties (child + parent/parents).
[On the spiritual level there can occur a wholeness of the soul
(emotions/mind/will),
at least for those who feel there is a hole/missing part/layer of
themselves.
At the spiritual level, this healing/reunion will occur in heaven, if not on
earth.
In a sexual union/marriage/rape/assault/divorce,
soul layers are traded. After personal violation/divorce/ministry, one
needs to send back TO mate/assaulter their soul layer, whereas we need to
take back our own stolen/given-away soul layer. Likewise, the same
principle may apply after a heathy reunion has taken place between abandoned
child & parent
(to the degree that a soul layer has been ripped out of each at time
of premature separation, having left each/either party spiritually
torn/wounded/ traumatized/incomplete in the soul.) |

Your Flying Car Awaits
100 Years of Failure: 10 Technologies We Were Promised But
Never Got -
"The Knowledge Pill -
Scientists at the University of Michigan in
the early 1960s trained worms to avoid an electric shock, then noticed that
other, untrained worms suddenly possessed this skill too after eating
their learned cousins. It was thought that acquired skills were kept in
RNA, a chemical similar to DNA that performs the genetic functions in cells.
This led some to speculate that knowledge is stored in our bodies in edible
form & to conclude that 1 day,
learning Spanish would be as easy as
popping a caplet or dos." -
