Is It God's Will For Me to Have Children?

Is it God’s Will for me to have children?

It is God’s will for you to be fruitful.  He does not show favoritism (Romans 2:11) and He created you to multiply (that is why a 15 year old can get pregnant).  If you are unable to get pregnant then Satan has placed a sickness on your body.  It is your job to use the authority given to you by Jesus to overcome the enemy.  Luke 10:19 (NIV) says that he has “given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”  As a child of God and heir to the throne, we ARE saved and therefore healed by His stripes. 

     The word saved is translated to sozoed in the Greek-(which is what the New Testament is written in)-sozo in the Greek means: 

·        to save

·        keep safe and sound

·        to rescue from danger or destruction

·        one (from injury or peril), to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease

·        to make well, heal, restore to health

·        to preserve one who is in danger of destruction

·        to save or rescue”

 If Jesus is your Savior then you are SAVED (or Sozoed)!

  

Promises of God

(These are not all of them)

Definition of Promise:  A declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified; a declaration that gives the person to whom it is made a right to expect or to claim 

• 2 Corinthians 1:18-20 (NIV): "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are YES in Christ.  And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God"

• Exodus 23:25-26 (NIV):  “Worship the Lord your God and his blessings will be on your food and water.  I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land.  I will give you a full life span.” 

·        God is not the author of sickness and does not use EVIL to fulfill His purpose and Will.  The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy where Jesus came to give life and life abundantly.  It is not in his nature or his character to cause you pain, sickness, or loss.

• Psalm 113:9 (NIV):  “He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children.  Praise the Lord.”

• Leviticus 26:9 (NIV):  “I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers and I will keep my covenant with you.”

• Deuteronomy 7: 14 (NIV):  “You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young.”

• Deuteronomy 28:4 (NIV):  “The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.”

• Deuteronomy 28:11 (NIV):  “The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.”

• Deuteronomy 30:9 (NIV):  “Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land.” 

• Isaiah 53:5 (NIV) “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

• Psalm 107:20 (KJV) “He sent His Word, and healed you, and delivered you from your destructions. “

• John 14:27 (NIV) “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Truths about God’s Character

1.       God does not show favoritism

• Romans 2:11 (NIV):  “For God does not show favoritism.”

          2.   God does not lie or change his mind

• Numbers 23:19 (NIV):  “God is not a man that he should lie nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.  Does he speak and then not act?  Does he promise and not fulfill?

• Titus 1:2 (NIV): “a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.”

• James 1:17 (NIV) Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

• Isaiah 55:11 (NIV) “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

              3.   God is always faithful

•  Psalm 33:4 (NIV) “The word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. “

• 2 Timothy 2:13 (NIV) “If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.”

• 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NIV) “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.”

• Psalm 36:5 (NIV) “Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens your faithfulness to the skies.”

• Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

God never fails, He never lies, and He always follows through on His Word! He is faithful!  Let's be faithful to His Word too, and get it sown into our hearts so we can bear fruit in every area of our life!!
