7-10-2022 – A Word to the Wise – The Womb prayer, and Counseling

November 14, 2010, 4.15 p.m. I had been studying the Gifts for some 23 years. Particularly, I was now paying attention to the nonverbal indicators of the gifts. I walked in the house and Mary had a new 3-month-old to take care of. Macie was lying on a blanket, so I picked her up and turned to talk to Mary. In my peripheral vision the Lord nudged me, look at what she is doing. This infant was struggling to make eye contact with me! She has the motivational gift of Exhorter.

The Lord had just pushed back the presence of the gifts to newborn. Now it was apparent all children receive their gift at birth. But then later He revealed an earlier presence of the gifts.

Several years ago, before it became a popular field in research the Lord revealed even from scripture the profound effects of the womb environment. How what occurs here effects and determines the child’s future. The womb events should never be ignored in counseling.

At conception the Lord assigns a gift to each along with a purpose in His kingdom. Individuals understanding this will discover how the Lord uses everything in that child’s world whether good or evil to further his kingdom if the child allows it. Contrary to what we think the worse things carry the greatest value. An example or two.

The Mercy is highly sensitive to emotions. The mother is under tremendous emotional, and physical strain. Whether by a physical or emotional abuse or other circumstances. The Mercy experiences all of this during the 9 months or less in the womb. In the teens we may see an over sensitive person who runs from relationships or develops panic attacks or a host of other problems. The gift is being turned inward.

However, what is missed is the power and ability this person has for healing others by taking the emotional illness or even physical illness off others.

A trait that is developed in the womb the gift of Mercy endows the person with this hidden ability to remove pain from others. Development of the gift requires the existence of pain This ability continues later in life if the Mercy develops trust with the Lord and depends on him to provide and carry the burden.

Take the problem of abandonment, neglect, or abuse during the early years of childhood. The abandonment and neglect issues follow the child for the rest of their lives. Yet as horrible as this maybe it carries with it golden possibilities that the Lord provides because of these situations. Prayer provides the relationship with the Lord that makes these things possible.

Two womb examples which clarify the importance of prayer intervening in this new world.

Clarice was born and immediately failed to do what all infants do at birth, that is head for the mothers’ breasts. Not Clarice, she would go nowhere near her mothers’ breast. Strange, so the doctors tried bottle feeding her, and immediately she took to it. The doctor could not figure out what was wrong. The next day a mother with a newborn infant was feeding her infant, so the doctor asks her if she would try and feed Clarice. Yes, immediately Clarice took right to her breast. How odd. So, they returned and questioned the mother about the prenatal experience. She told them she did not want Clarice argued with her husband from the beginning and wanted to abort her. Her husband refused to let her do it. Now they knew the answer, the mother did not want Clarice and she knew it in the womb and would have nothing to do with her mother. The investigator followed this child for four years after birth. She never would have anything to do with her mother. (It is felt that Clarice has the motivational gift of Prophet or Mercy.)

The next example comes from Genesis 25:19-33. We have these two infants fighting in the womb. It gets so violent that the mother inquires of the Lord what is going on and is informed that it is two nations in her womb. From what is indicated in the text it is apparent that one is a Server (Esau) the other a Giver, (Jacob). Confirmation of their gifts are confirmed later on in scripture. But what is most amazing indeed the attribute of a Giver is seen in Jacob’s dealing with Laban.

More importantly when Jacob heads for home he sends gifts to his brother to placate him. Something Giver’s do, utilizing gifts to resolve issues because they are materialistic and see the world through these glasses. Esau on the other hand when he meets Jacob refuses the gifts, he is not materialistic and rather wants to resolve their differences.

Scripture gives numerous examples of pregnant women and how the Lord interprets their beginning adventures.

In counseling I will assure you it is of great importance to discover this period of the client’s life for it lends to explain many behaviors later in life. I assure the father praying to and for the unborn child in the child’s hearing is heard and impacts the child. I could give numerous examples but will reserve this adventure for later.

One last comment in observing numerous sonagrams some of the traits of the different gifts maybe observed even this early.

Interpreters call the gifts of Romans 12 ‘Spiritual Gifts’ they are not spiritual gifts they are God-given stamps that this child is God’s creation and is endowed with a gift to prove it.

I will forewarn you the next section deals with family violence, counseling and prayer, so you might want to skip it.
