1 CHILDREN S LESSON BY: MRS. PAVLINA DAVIS JANUARY 2006, MAHOMET, ILLINOIS WHAT IS IT FOR? Good morning, children! Good morning! Aren t you excited when the presence of the Lord comes down and fills our hearts as it did today during our worship time? Yes! Me, too. And I am twice as excited today. Let me tell you why: because the Lord has given me a word for you. I have wanted to share this subject with you for a long time, but every time the Lord would say, Not yet. But this time, before I was even able to ask Him, He said, It is time. So, I am excited that the Lord has a word for us today. I am excited, because I believe we will hear what He has to tell us. Let us then bow our heads, fold our hands and pray. Father God, we thank You for Your presence. We thank You that You have not left us alone, but that You have sent Your presence to us. We ask You, Lord God, that You would come even now and speak the Word that would quicken our hearts, that it would quicken the children s hearts so that we would be made more like You. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen! Let us look at one picture that I believe we all know. Do we all know this picture? Yes! What is it then? The tabernacle! Very good! I really like the tabernacle. Do you know why? Because our whole life is hidden in the tab- K.I.T. for KIDS 1 July 2007

2 ernacle and when we understand the tabernacle, we know what to do in our lives so that we would get to the place where God wants us to be. Where do you think God wants us to be? Johanna: Sons of God. Sons of God, yes. Where is it in the tabernacle? Where do I have to go in the tabernacle? I start from the outside Isaac: The Ark of the Covenant. And where is the Ark located? Josiah: In the Holy of Holies. In the Holy of Holies, very good. So, we have to go from the outside through all the pieces of furniture in the Outer Court and Holy Place and get to the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant is and where we fully become sons of God. Is that right? Yes. Now listen to this. What if I decide that I really don t like the Table of Shewbread? I just don t like it. Well, I will just skip it. I will go to the next piece of furniture and then I will enter the Holy of Holies. What do you think? Would it work? No. It would not work. God would not allow it. He set a plan and said that we have to go through all these pieces of furniture in order to get to the Holy of Holies. So, if I do not like the Table of Shewbread, I have a problem. I have to ask God to help me like it, right? Now tell me: What happens at the first piece of furniture? Who knows what the furniture is called? Rachel: Brazen Altar. That s the Brazen Altar. What happens at the Brazen Altar, Simeon? Simeon: That s where you give your life to Jesus. Good. What happens, then, when we give our life to Jesus? We ask Him to come into our hearts and He gives us something. He gives us His Blood. Does anyone know what His Blood is? Mr.. Schneider hneider: His life! Very good! Thank you, Mr. Schneider. His Blood is His life. Let me draw a picture for you here on the board. This is our spirit, this is our soul, and this K.I.T. for KIDS 2 July 2007

3 is our body. Have we seen these before? Yes. Now, when we come to the Brazen Altar and ask Jesus to come into our lives and hearts, He sends us His Blood. His Blood then quickens our spirit so that God can communicate with us and we can communicate with Him. He also sends His Blood to our soul and so our soul is cleansed. Do you know what it is like? Let me show you a picture. It is like when you see a bird and the bird is dead. Can you see the dead bird? Without Jesus we are exactly like that dead bird. We cannot do anything; we are dead. But then Jesus comes and gives us His Blood at the Brazen Altar and we become alive! Isn t that awesome? Then we can sing praises and fly and run and all of that is because of what the Blood of Jesus has done for us. After the Brazen Altar, we go to the next piece of furniture. Which one is it, Johanna? Johanna: Brazen Laver. Very good. It is the Brazen Laver and this is what we will focus on today. What do we do at the Brazen Laver? Isaac really wants to tell us. Isaac: Baptisms. That s right. The Brazen Laver is a place where we get baptized. How many baptisms are there, Moriah? Moriah: Three. Very good. Which ones are they? Johanna: Baptism in the Holy Ghost. That s the second one. What is the first one? Who was baptized at the last conference? Were you, Anna? What was the name of the baptism? Anna: In the water. In the water! Very good! Then comes the baptism in the Holy Ghost and which one is the third one, Josiah? Josiah: Baptism into Christ! Very good! It is actually all one baptism, but is has three parts: water, Holy Ghost and into Christ. Who baptizes into water? If I want to be baptized in water who is going to do it for me? Anna, when you were baptized, who baptized you? Anna: Grandpa! Yes! When we are baptized in water, someone, a physical man, baptizes us. It is written, for example, in Acts 8:38, And he commanded the chario hariot t to o stand still: K.I.T. for KIDS 3 July 2007

4 and they y went down both th into o the wa- ter er,, both th Philip and the eunuch; h; and he (Philip) baptized him (the eunuch). a- Now, who baptizes in the Holy Ghost, Caleb? Caleb: Jesus! Very good. Jesus Himself comes and baptizes us. We can see it in Mark 1:8, I (John) indeed have baptized y you with w wat ater er: : but he (Jesus) shall baptize y you with the Holy Ghost. t. Sometimes people lay hands on us, but it is still Jesus Who comes and baptizes us in the Holy Ghost. Who then baptizes us into Christ, Isaac? Isaac: The Holy Ghost. Yes, the Holy Ghost does. We can read about it in I Corinthians 12:13, For or b by y one Spirit are e w we e all bap- tized into o one body,, whether w we e be Jews or Gentiles, whether we e be bond or free; and have e been all made t to o drink into o one Spirit. All these things that we are talking about here are scriptures from the Bible. I know that some of you were baptized in water, right? I also know that some of you were baptized in the Holy Ghost, but not all of you. Do you know what God is saying? He is saying that you need to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. Do you know why? Because you need that which the Holy Ghost gives. Now, what do you think we have the Holy Ghost for? Why do you think God wants to give us the Holy Ghost, Josiah? Josiah: To convict us. Yes, and much more. There are many things I found in the Bible, but I will read just a few of them now. The first thing that God wants to do when He gives us the Holy Ghost is to make us holy. Do you think that you can get to the Holy of Holies and become a son of God without being holy? No! So God gives us the Holy Ghost that we would be holy. The second thing is that He gives us a Comforter. Do you know what a Comforter is? This comforter is not the blanket that you put over yourself at night so that you are not cold. What is it then, Josiah? Josiah: It is just like a person. For example, when somebody dies in the family and somebody else comes and tells them something nice. Yes. Or, when somebody is sad or troubled and somebody else comes and helps him. It means that he comforts him. Is that correct? So the Holy Ghost is a Comforter. Let s read about it in John 14:16, And I will pray the F Father ather,, and he shall give e y you another Comfor orter er,, that he may y abide with y you ou f for or ever er. What else? Why else do we need the Holy Ghost? Let me tell you. How about that we would speak the Word of God boldly? That is what the Bible says in Acts 4:31, And when they y had prayed, the place w was as shaken en where e they wer ere e assembled toge ogether ther; ; and they y wer ere K.I.T. for KIDS 4 July 2007

5 all filled with the Holy Ghost, t, and they spake e the wor ord d of God with boldness. The Holy Ghost fell upon the brethren and they spoke the Word of God very boldly. Do you know what happened to me when I received the Holy Ghost? Nobody was able to shut my mouth! I was walking all around telling everybody about Jesus. A lot of my old friends didn t like me because of that so I lost a lot of them. But one friend of mine was my cousin. She didn t like it either that I talked about nothing else but Jesus. However, very shortly after that, she came to know Jesus and she still walks with Him and she still loves Him, and it was all because I was baptized in the Holy Ghost and no one was able to shut my mouth. When we receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost makes us bold. What else? There are a lot of things in the Word of God. For example, we receive power. Acts 1:8, But ye e shall receiv eceive e power er,, after er that the Holy Ghost t is come upon you We receive power to be witnesses for Jesus, power to lay hands on the dead and they are raised. Or, if somebody is sick, we lay hands on him and he is healed because of the Holy Ghost working in us and through us. Isn t that exciting? There is another thing and Mr. Streblow taught it to us in Atlanta at the conference. For those of you who don t know Mr. Streblow, he is the man who wrote the book Mr. Pegelow at the Gates of Hell. I trust most of you know the book. In Atlanta, Mr. Streblow was telling us some more stories from his life. Do you know what happened when he was baptized in the Holy Ghost? He had come to church with five of his friends. They were all teenagers. God said to him, This is your last chance! So he went up front and received Jesus and Jesus baptized him in the Holy Ghost right away. He said that the first thing that happens to you when you are baptized in the Holy Ghost is that you think of somebody else. You start caring for people that are around you! It is not only ME- ME-ME-ME-ME any more, but you start thinking about the people around you. You start caring about them. Actually, it is a verse in the Bible. What does it say in Romans 5:5? the love e of God is shed abroad in our hearts ts b by y the Holy Ghost t which h is given en unto o us. So you start caring for other people. There are so many other reasons why God wants us to have the Holy Ghost. But do you know there are some people K.I.T. for KIDS 5 July 2007

6 who don t want the Holy Ghost? Some people don t want the Holy Ghost. They say, I don t care. I am saved. It is all right. I don t need to be a son of God. I don t want the Holy Ghost. Do you know that those people are actually sick? Spiritually sick? Sometimes they have to go to a spiritual hospital to be healed. But we are talking about the Holy Ghost, because we want all of us to have the Holy Ghost, so that we all would be bold, preach the Gospel, have our Comforter, care for others, and all of these things. Do you think that the Holy Ghost is only given to some people? No? Who is it given to? Everybody who asks for it? Is that right? Well, let s see what Acts 2:38 says, Then P Peter er said unto them, Repent, and be baptized ever ery one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for or the r remission of sins, and y ye e shall receiv eceive e the gift t of the Holy Ghost. t. It really is for everybody who repents and follows Jesus in obedience. Now, what else happens when you receive the Holy Ghost, when Jesus baptizes you? Moriah: You can speak in tongues. Yes, because it says in Acts 2:4, And they y w wer ere e all f filled with the Holy Ghost, t, and began t to o speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utter erance. Caleb: You become loving. Very loving! You can also prophesy. Acts 19:6, And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost t came on them; and they y spake with t tongues, and prophesied. You can have all the gifts that God will give you with the Holy Ghost. Do you know why? Because God really wants us and He really needs us to bring righteousness to the earth. Isn t that exciting? Don t you just want the Holy Ghost? I know a little girl who, when she heard that there was a Holy Ghost, began to pray that God would baptize her. She might have been five years old at that time. She would ask everybody, even in the meetings, How do I do it so that I would receive the Holy Ghost? She would not give God any peace. And so one day God baptized her in the Holy Ghost and she began to have dreams. Boy, what dreams she began to have! The elders of the church had to talk and pray about the dreams in the elder s meetings, because the dreams gave direction to the whole church! God gives us these things so that we would build one another, so that we would build ourselves, so that righteousness would be brought forth in this earth. Everybody who is baptized in the Holy Ghost can tell you how it happened to them, but have you ever heard Mr. ducille s story? It is a lot of fun. Let me share it with you. I wish Mr. ducille was here so that he could tell you himself, but I will at least read to you what I learned from him. (See story on next page.) K.I.T. for KIDS 6 July 2007

7 When I received the Blood of Jesus, I was translated out of the kingdom of dead men into the kingdom of the living. I became alive. What else was there to want? I never heard anything about the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I had no idea what these words baptism of the Holy Ghost meant. Seven months after I received Jesus, I went to God very hungry. I said to Him, Lord, I have been preaching the gospel for awhile and I probably have about three hundred souls in Heaven by now. The crown that is ready for me in Heaven must be a very large and magnificent one. It must have three hundred stars in it. Well, Lord, it is time for me to go home. Let me die and go to Heaven. You see, children, I didn t know that Jesus Christ wanted to come into me. He immediately popped right into my mind, Peter and John at the gate Beautiful. Do you remember the story about the gate Beautiful? There was a man sitting there begging for a morsel of bread or for money to buy bread. He was a crippled person. Peter and John walked by and as he was begging, they said to him, We don t have any silver nor gold, we don t have any money, but we have something that we can give you. Before the man could think of what the thing was, they said, In the name of Jesus Christ, rise up and walk. Can you imagine it? All those bones that never moved! Can K.I.T. for KIDS 7 July 2007

8 you imagine the screeching and the creaking? Then, he looked down and saw that he was really standing! You didn t have to ask him to dance. You didn t even have to play music for him. He was leaping and dancing and praising God. Well, you see, I didn t know what this baptism was, but I said to Jesus, If you give me what Peter and John had, then I will stay. I will not want to go to Heaven now. He replied shortly, All right. Immediately, He threw me into a vision. In this vision, I saw a long lane. Down to the far end of it there was an explosion. It took some time for the sound of it to come to my ear. When this explosion happened, Jesus said, That is the 7 th. This all was sometime around the end of January. The next 7 th that would come would be the 7 th of February. Then, in the middle of the lane, there was another explosion. The sound of it came to me much quicker this time. Jesus was standing behind me. He was talking into my ear. This time He said, That is the 14 th. After that, there was a silence. I looked around and saw Jesus leaving until he was very far away. He turned around, cupped His hands around His mouth and said, And then A great explosion came right under my feet! It threw me back and away. I came out of this vision gasping for air. It was as if God was playing with me. Have you ever had God playing with you? I asked Him, God, what is this You are doing to me? It was only later I learned that dynamite, a word for explosion, in its Greek form [dunamis] is a word for the Holy Spirit. I decided I would wait until the 7 th and see what would happen. I figured in my mind that some wonderful things were going to happen. I hope you will not laugh at me when I tell you what I thought. I thought that some aunt or uncle or somebody was going to die and leave me some money. So all day on the 7 th I kept looking. I was working out in the bushes experimenting with plants and animals and I got to watch the train, which brought in our mail. The mailman came and went. Nothing for me. The next train came from the other side. Nothing for me. The day went by and nothing was K.I.T. for KIDS 8 July 2007

9 happening. I left my work disappointed and went to my little house a very disappointed person. I said, Well, I should just go down on my knees, pray a disappointed prayer and go to bed. The 7 th was gone and nothing happened. So I knelt down beside my disappointed bed and began to pray. Immediately, I was gone in another vision. In this vision I was walking with Jesus. Do you know that the baptizer is Jesus? Do you know that when you are waiting to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, you should be looking to Jesus? Call upon Jesus and He will baptize you! I cannot explain to you how good it felt. It was so sweet! It was so glorious! It was like being in Heaven. Jesus Christ was walking beside me on my left side. He was talking to me and talking to me. He was telling me something, but I couldn t understand one word. He was speaking in some different language! But He was so close; I could not only see Him, I could even feel Him. We walked until we were alongside a bunch of African tallneck daisies that were standing up very straight. As He came up close by them, they all bowed their heads. It was so glorious! They smelled so heavenly! Then Jesus came to three little steps. He went up. I was about to follow Him, but He turned and said, No. But I was quick to say. Turn back, was His reply. Oh, here again, I was so disappointed. I turned around to go back and when I did, everything that He was saying and what I didn t understand came right into me. Then I was again kneeling by my bed. Even though the vision was over I could still hear Him talking. I began to look around. I was not asleep. I was not in a vision. I was kneeling on the floor and Jesus was talking in my room and in the same language that He had been talking to me before in the vision. Where was He? I got curious. I began to search for Him. Do you think a person can search for the Holy K.I.T. for KIDS 9 July 2007

10 Ghost? I went to the cupboard. I went into the kitchen. I searched everything inside that little house. I even looked under the bed, but there was nobody else in the house. So I said to myself, It must be somebody outside. It was dark out there, but I walked around the house and came back in. All of a sudden I realized that the voice was the same tone, the same level when I was inside as well as when I was outside. I, then, came to a conclusion, The voice is on me! He must be on me somewhere! So I opened my shirt looking inside, but there was no movement in there. Oh, my God, what is this? The voice was down under my shirt. I began to be frightened. I was in this wilderness house alone and didn t know that God did things like this. All of a sudden there is this talking going on inside of me. Tell me, children, wouldn t you be frightened? So I asked God, My God, what is this? He answered me, Open your mouth and pray aloud. Pray aloud! I was in my room alone; there was nobody there to hear me. Why would I pray aloud? I didn t see any sense in doing it, but Pray aloud was the order given, so I opened my mouth to say, Our Father, as it was in my mind. But when I opened it, my tongue went, Hababalasha I began to talk the same thing that was down in me. I stopped. When I did, He started talking again inside me. I said, Wait, let me open my mouth again and I am going to say Our Father this time. And again, Hababalasha came out of me. I tried again and again but it was the same. Children, instead of rejoicing I began to get frightened. I said to myself, I ve never been mad before so I don t know what madness really is. This is probably how people get mad, because I can t control my tongue. I said to the Lord, God, please tell me what this is. Immediately the many Hababalash asha color bedspread that covered my bed started rising up in front of me. I was still kneeling on the floor. I was not sleeping. Out of the bed spread an ancient scroll with an ornate handle on both sides and the paper in the midst began to roll down. It rose up to my eye level and I was able to read I Corinthians 12:1-10, Now ow concerning spiritual gifts, breth- ren, I would not h have ve you ignorant. 2 Ye know that t ye were Gentiles, es, carried awa way unto these d dumb idol ols, s, even as ye were l led. ed. 3 Wheref herefore ore I give you to under erstand, that t no man speaking by the K.I.T. for KIDS 10 July 2007

11 Spirit o of f God calleth eth J Jesu esus s accursed: and that t no man can say that t J Jesu esus s is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now ow there are diversities o of f gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences o of administr ministrations, tions, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities o of f operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifesta estation tion o of f the Spirit is given to every man to profit fit withal. 8 For or to one is given by the Spirit the word o of f wisdom; to another the word of f knowled edge ge by the same Spirit; 9 To o an- other f faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts o of f healing ing by the same Spirit; 10 To o another the working o of f miracl acles; es; to another prophecy; to another discern- ing o of f spirits; s; to another divers kinds o of tongues; to another the interpretation tion o of tongues. The moment I read the word tongues there was a quickening in my body. The light came to me and I said, Oh, God, this is tongues! That was the 7 th. Then the 14 th came. By that time, I forgot all about the vision. I forgot everything. I didn t know what really happened. I didn t know it was the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I only knew that power came into me that made me shout. But I decided to keep it as a secret to myself. On the 14 th, one brother Hallel elujah!!!! came to me and asked me, Could you take me up to a church at Chalkie Hill up in the mountains? I am to preach there, but I don t have any transportation. At that time, I had a little Ford pickup truck. I agreed and so we all jumped into my Ford - my preacher friend, two other preachers and I. Four of us all together went up to this church. I didn t go to preach, I was just taking these big preachers there. And of course, my secret was still mine; nobody knew. The church at Chalkie Hill was a Holy Quietness church. Do you know, children, what a Holy Quietness church is? It is a holiness church, but they don t believe in any noise. If you say, Amen, they put you out, so I sat down quietly on the long bench. But suddenly I jumped out of my seat and shouted, Hallelujah!!! Uncontrollably. I was so ashamed of myself! This is a Holy K.I.T. for KIDS 11 July 2007

12 Quietness church, I reminded myself. They don t do these sorts of things! I got control of myself. I was going to keep quiet from now on. So I sat down on one end of the bench and locked my arms around it. I didn t want this to happen again. However, the next explosion came and the bench went up with me. All the people who were sitting on the same bench took off. I felt like I could bore a hole down in the floor. Everybody was looking at me! I was twice ashamed now! They called the brother whom I went along with to give the message. I never forgot what he said, for it made me more ashamed than my two previous hallelujah experiences. He got up and said, Brethren, if we don t let this man preach, we won t have any service here today. I felt so terrible! I did not want them to think that I wanted to take over the meeting. With shame on my face I picked up my Bible, crawled to the platform, and started to preach from Matthew 24 about the coming of the Lord. All I wanted to do was to finish with it and get down. It was the first time I had ever preached in a church. There were about a hundred people in the congregation. When I looked down at them, all of them were bent forward, low down. I was just looking at the top of their heads! I thought, What is this? Lord, I must be putting them to sleep! You can imagine my shame now! Then, they kept going down, down, down, until everybody laid flat down on the floor. This same brother who called me up had on a brand new suit. A brand new brown suit! Suddenly, he pitched forward onto the floor and began to roll slowly. When he hit his head on the wall some thirty feet away, he began to roll back. Then he hit his head on the wall on the other side, turned and rolled back again. Have you ever heard of holy rollers, children? This man was one of them! There was nobody there to stop him, because everybody was down on the floor. I had never seen anything like that before! Of course, I was not used to being in a church. I grabbed my Bible and rushed back to my seat. For two hours the people were on the floor bawling. I had never heard of anything like this in my life. I didn t understand what was happening at all. I had just gotten saved and had never gone to church before. So I said to myself, Maybe this is the way they carry on every Sunday. Then one sinner in the middle of the meeting hall jumped up and shouted, Praise God for salvation! Thank God, K.I.T. for KIDS 12 July 2007

13 Jesus saved me! She gave such a wonderful testimony! Another one jumped up and said, Oh, thank God! Then, people started getting up one by one. There was an older man near to me. I saw him struggling to get up so I helped him. The meeting was now dismissed. I went to shake some people s hands, because I wanted to know what happened, but they ran from me! So I approached this old man and said to him, Friend, what happened? He said, Brother, I am a deacon in this church. I have been here for thirty years. I have never seen anything like this before! That answered my first question. I further asked him, So what happened to you? He replied, I was sitting there and felt as if somebody put a heavy hand on the back of my head and began to press me down. I tried to resist, but the more I resisted the further down I went until I just sprawled out on the ground. When I hit the floor, all my sins came before me and I just began to confess before God. After I did, I felt such a cleansing and deliverance and felt enough strength to get up. This was on the 14 th. Then on the 21 st, something else terrible happened. Do you remember in my vision Jesus said, And then? Well, I was about to find out that then meant the 21 st. I was going to bed quietly when I heard a loud knock on my door. Sister Berry, one of my converts, was dying. She is dying, come quickly, the messenger insisted. I rushed over to her house as fast as I could. The woman s eyes were turned over. She was almost dead. I laid hands on her with the intention of saying, Lord Jesus, touch her and heal her. At that time I was not used to healing or anything like that. As I was about to open my mouth, I heard a mighty voice speaking behind me. He was speaking the same language I heard Jesus speak in my vision as well as in me! He was now commanding the demon to get out of her. I thought, Boy, who is this that could come in the midst of my prayer and disturb everything like that? I turned around to see the person, but there was nobody there. No man was standing behind me. I realized that it was God. I just quickly picked up my hat and went home. But in this way everybody found out my secret. Everybody on the farm where I worked knew that I was the man who was talking in tongues. Something started then and there that nobody could stop. Children, if you open the door of your heart to God, I guarantee you the Holy Ghost will come in. Practice how to open your hearts to God and He will come in and sup with you and you with Him. K.I.T. for KIDS 13 July 2007

14 The whole church started to spread and no one was able to stop the power of God. Do you know why? Because one man was baptized in the Holy Ghost and obeyed the Holy Ghost. Don t you just want to obey the Holy Ghost? You know, sometimes people have to lay hands on you and pray for you and you receive the Holy Ghost. But some people just pray at home and God baptizes them. There is no formula for it. But do you remember what Mr. ducille said is important? You have to seek Jesus! You have to desire to be with Jesus. You don t seek to speak in this strange tongue or prophesy. God will give it to you if you seek Him; He will come and baptize you in the Holy Ghost. Do you think Jesus wants to baptize you? He does, doesn t He? It is my prayer for you children that you would desire to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. Many times I know you think this walk with God is for big people, but it really is not. It is for everybody who desires to walk with Him. You don t have to wait until you are big to be baptized in the Holy Ghost, because Jesus wants to baptize you so that the Holy Spirit would make you holy, so that He would be your Comforter, so that He would give you boldness and all the other things. You never know; one day you might be able to preach the Word of God and shout, Hallelujah! and people might fall off the bench in the Holy Quietness Church. You know God wants to do these things because He needs people in this earth that would be like Him. Now I want to pray for you that you would desire to walk with Jesus so much that He would baptize you in the Holy Ghost. Also, that you would desire to receive the Holy Ghost and not be like those people who are spiritually sick saying, I don t want this, I don t care for this. Can we pray for that? Let us then bow our heads and fold our hands so that we would not be disturbed. Father, I thank You for these children. I thank You that many of them received You into their lives and went through the first experience with You. I pray for those who have not given their lives to You yet, oh God, that You would move upon them so that they would belong to You for ever and ever. Father, I pray for those who were baptized in water but have not received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, or who have not even been baptized in water nor the Holy Ghost. My God, I pray You would give them the desire to come before You and seek You and ask You for that gift that will make them holy, that will give them power and boldness. God, that they would desire to be with You that You might equip them with all that they need for the days to come. Bless them this day, Lord God. Send the anointing upon them. May they even be a testimony unto us who have been walking with You for awhile. Father, I pray for Your anointing and blessing upon these children. In Jesus name. Amen. K.I.T. for KIDS 14 July 2007
