Anointing Oil???

I am posting for Diane Rasch. In her words: Diane is mentoring a woman at a inner city ministry. She told Diane that God had shared with her that she was to bring oil to anoint and pray for the kids. She had spent much time praying over the oil. During prayer time, as the children were "fighting over" who would be prayed for first, the kids noticed a beautiful aroma coming from the oil. Diane took for granted that she was using a very special anointing oil, later to discover that it was olive oil. After the children recieved prayer they asked, "What should we do now?" They were told to spend some time with Jesus and He would tell them what to do. Then, later she found one little girl praying fervently. The little girl and another childl began to pray for each other. They were anointing each other. They were so excited that the oil on their foreheads was representative of the Holy Spirit. They were modeling what they just learned without provocation. Diane felt that this was a significant time for these inner-city kids.

Christmas time

As I reflect on all that is going on at this time of year, I am reminded over and over, Why is their Christmas? The Lord has really laid on my heart the importance of this season as I teach the children. "Jesus was born to die" There is so much to teach starting with the first sin and what happenend in the garden and so on. The question is Where are you and God? Where is man and where is God?

Consecrated Holy and Hungry
I was sharing with Pamela this AM the things that God has been sharing with me for this new year coming up. The Lord has impressed on me the importance of getting the children ready for the end times, especially in times of danger. When these times come we will not be able to wait on God, as many do now to get direction, we need to have it be instant, just as we talk to each other, it will be that way with them and the Lord. HE gave me the ideas since I teach the 3year olds - Kindergarten the Bible story will be first, and then I will share all the different things that we could do and then we will have our soaking time with the Lord to hear what He wants us to do ,the order for that day. As this is activated for a while weeks to months, eventually the children will not have to be given options, but they will instantly hear what they should do. He has been showing me the importance of hearing God"s voice NOW. Also something the Lord shared with me last January was the craft that the children do is called their Evangelism Tool. He has given me amazing things for the children to make that they want to show off to others.As we know children always want to show off things that they have made. We even practice with each other how they can share about Jesus with what they made. We also always attach a magnet on the back so it can go on their refrigerator. It is so exciting all the things ideas the Lord has for us in teaching and training our children
