THE BABY STARTS KICKING

"Your Baby Will Start Kicking When He Hears a Prophetic Word"

"And it came to pass, that, WHEN ELIZABETH HEARD THE SALUTATION OF MARY, THE BABE LEAPED IN HER WOMB; and ELIZABETH WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST". Luke 1:41 KJV (Capitals are mine for emphasis)

"LOGOS" REFERS REFERS TO THE TOTAL INSPIRED WORD OF GOD, AND TO JESUS, WHO IS THE LIVING WORD

There are two primary Greek words that describe "Scripture", which are translated "word" in the New Testament. The first, "logos", refers principally to the total inspired Word of God, and to Jesus, Who is the living Word. "In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God". John 1:1 KJV.

"RHEMA" IS A VERSE OR PORTION OF SCRIPTURE WHICH THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS TO OUR ATTENTION WITH APPLICATION TO A CURRENT SITUATION, OR NEED FOR DIRECTION

The second primary Greek word that describes Scripture is "rhema", which refers to a word which is spoken, and means “an utterance.” A rhema is a verse or portion of Scripture which the Holy Spirit brings to our attention with application to a current situation, or need for direction. Jesus stated, "The words (rhema) that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life". John 6:63 KJV. When God gives a rhema for us to act upon, He often confirms it by a second rhema, that "in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word (rhema) be established". 2 Corinthians 13:1 KJV.

WHEN SOMEONE WHO "CARRIES THE SPIRIT OF JESUS WITH THEM" SPEAKS AN ANOINTED WORD, THAT WHICH THE HOLY SPIRIT IS BIRTHING WITHIN YOU WILL RESPOND WITH JOY, AND AS IT WERE, WILL "START KICKING LIKE A BABY IN HIS MOTHER'S WOMB"

When Mary was three months pregnant with Jesus, she went to stay with her cousin Elizabeth, who was six months pregnant with John the Baptist. When Mary greeted her cousin, little John leaped in his mother's womb, and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. When someone who "carries the spirit of Jesus with them" speaks an anointed word, that which the Holy Spirit is birthing within you will respond with joy, and as it were, will "start kicking like a baby in his mother's womb". Not only was little John energized by the Spirit, but also his mother was empowered to continue carrying him.

A PROPHETIC WORD SPOKEN BY ONE WHO MOVES IN THE ANOINTING WILL SPARK ADDITIONAL LIFE TO WHAT IS GROWING AND PROSPERING "IN YOUR SPIRITUAL WOMB"

This is why it is important that we "hang out with the right people". We need to seek out those who flow in the realm of the Spirit. They understand what is happening with us, and as a result, are better equipped to encourage and lift us up. When they speak "a rhema word"--a promise with our name on it--what is being birthed in us will bear witness, and leap for joy. To put it another way, "your baby will start kicking". A prophetic word spoken by one who moves in the anointing will spark additional life to what is growing and prospering "in your spiritual womb". This is an impartation of health and nutrition.

IF WE WANT THE SEED OF THE WORD TO BE WELL NOURISHED, AND HAVE A HEAD START IN LIFE, THEN WE NEED TO BELIEVE THE LORD TO SURROUND US NOT JUST WITH "LOGOS CHRISTIANS", BUT WITH "RHEMA BELIEVERS"

If we need "general support", then we associate with average, garden-variety, orthodox Christians. They know the Word, and can be supportive. We appreciate them, and have nothing against them. They will be helpful. But, if we want the seed of the Word to be well nourished, and have a head start in life, then we need to believe the Lord to surround us not just with "logos Christians", but with "rhema believers". These people are alive with the presence and power of the Spirit, as they know how to move in praise and worship, intercede until they touch Heaven, and "zero-in" on what we need at this particular stage of our development.

WELL-MEANING RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WILL BRING DEATH TO YOUR VISION, AS THEY HAVE NO COMPREHENSION OF WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOUR LIFE

Mary, the mother of Jesus, did not stick around those who did not understand anything about her miraculous conception by God Himself. They knew nothing about a virgin birth. Sincere, but bound by the law, they judged her falsely, thinking that they were being true to the precepts of holiness and righteousness. If she had stayed with the orthodox religious crowd she would have been stoned. The "letter of the law" kills, but "the Spirit" brings life. Well-meaning religious people will bring death to your vision, as they have no comprehension of what God is doing in your life. But, she knew she was carrying a miracle--the future Miracle Worker--and consecrated herself not to let anything injurious happen to Him. This was "her holy responsibility", and she honored the fact that she had been chosen by God to bring Jesus into the world. Learn to "protect what God is doing in you".

STAY AROUND THOSE WHO MOVE IN THE TRUE PROPHETIC, AS THEIR ANOINTED RHEMA WORDS WILL BRING YOU TO FULL TERM

If you are birthing a ministry, and coming into the next level of your spiritual development, stay around those who move in the true prophetic, as their anointed rhema words will bring you to full term. Your "baby" will bear witness to the living Word which will be the exact thing that you and him need to hear at the right time and place. Do not despise the prophesying of those who you can trust with your life, and the life of God within you. Is "your baby" alive and kicking, ready for birthing?
