One Sunday two ladies in our church felt God stir them to go through each of the classrooms during Sunday School and pray for each child individually. These two ladies are amazing prayer warriors and are very receptive to the Holy Spirit. They sometimes give words of prophecy within our church service and are often involved in physical or spiritual healings. I\u2019ve learned that when they speak, I should listen closely.<\/p>\n
Anyway, on this day, when Becca and I just were serving in the nursery, along with Hannah and Benjamin. We work the nursery once a month. When they prayed for Benjamin, one of the ladies was overcome by the Spirit. By this I mean you could see her become physically and emotionally excited, she began to pray more fervently. She said she had a vision that she saw Benjamin standing on my shoulders, boldly proclaiming Christ to people, perhaps leading a revival, being a mouth piece for the Lord. Her interpretation of him being on my shoulders was simply that his faith will build on my faith, a faith legacy passed down to him. Of course, myself being the son of a 3rd generation pastor, obviously that legacy did not start with me.<\/p>\n
What do I do with this? On one hand I don\u2019t want to pressure Benjamin into anything, on the other hand I believe the validity of this prophetic word. In either case it reminds me of my priorities and the significance of this job called fatherhood. My job is to raise up our children in faith so that they will know their Father and desire to serve Him.<\/p>\n
