“SHEPHERD’S ROD”

This "word" was given to an American family planning to adopt a young boy, age 2, from Kazakhstan.  They had been given prophetic words that they would be adopting many children in the coming years.

"A woolen cap, a pair of mittens, good sturdy boots
and the Bible as Truth
This young man will be 'covered'
Is there more that you can do?
He is, as is, held hostage - removed from you
and yet, your hearts are already one
Whose delay is this and how can the hands that tie,
now unbind the innocent and set him free
into the loving arms of his family?

There is strife.  There is war.  There is poverty.
3 strikes and this country is 'out';
failing to provide what is necessary
to raise up children wholly unto Me
and yet ... there are the Righteous ones in the land
But, Oh, how quickly they follow this whim or that
They are not truly rooted in Me
They do not fully hear My Cry, My Plea for this nation
They also want what they want what they want
But a NEW DAY must arise
Don't you see?
There must be a time when the people
become consecrated to Me in such fashion
that I am their
ALL IN ALL
their Purpose; their Life; their Dream

Do you choose to raise My children?
Do you choose to provide a 'home'
for these to know Me;
to love Me; to learn to abide in Me?

Shake off the 'old coverings'
Shake off all that keeps you from My Presence
from My Empowerment
to teach these young ones to know Me;
to hear My Voice;
to worship Me in Spirit and in Truth
and to love Me
It will be, as if, you are raising a 'Samuel generation' ---
but the home - your home,
must be in full alignment
for My Placement

I charge you with this:

1.  Take these children which I have promised you
and each day place them into My Hands
for My Sovereign Will to be done on their behalf

2.  Pray that they will have listening ears to hear My Voice;
hearts which obey Me in loving affection and
desire to know Me; speaking only and fully My Words
to this generation

3.  Ask Me to provide you, all of you, each one,
your part in raising these children unto Me

4.  Ask Me to empower you to bring forth
a new, clear, pure, perfect Voice for the nations
through these children

5.  Ask Me to show you how to keep the children
'hidden' in My 'Ark' until the time that I deem
for their advance upon this world

6.  Commit your lives anew and afresh each day
unto My Sovereign cleansing, love, wisdom,
instruction to always be ready for the lives
I entrust to you

7.  Thank Me that I will deliver to you, in My timing,
all the children I have for you to raise unto Me

To the father:
CALL OUT - CRY OUT for the Heart of the Father
to now render your heart as null;
replaced unto Perfect Love for your family
as I Love them

To the mother:
Unto you this day, is given the mercy
to raise, to hold, to strengthen, to endure SONS ---
a wholly different 'breed'
Raise them as leaders by teaching them
to follow My Words (Psalm 119);
My Life (Book of John)
Read, read, read to these children from My Word

To the big sisters:
Each of you will know, in time, your tasks ---
sometimes in dreams, sometimes through Bible study,
sometimes just lovingly planted within
your souls and hearts to help raise young men of God;
fully My Own; fully filled with Me

I will teach you all, each day,
as you come before Me,
ready to learn
Shalom
Psalm 16"

GOD, YOUR FATHER
