(Clip) Coming To The Lord Trusting As A Little Child

And forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. Allow them, in other words, and don't forbid them, because the kingdom of God is prepared for such as these. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Now it's incredible. It's being born again. I'm speaking in this context. And Christ is saying, unless, until you come to the place where you have entrusted yourself into my hands like a little child, you will not ever know the power of my kingdom. And then he gave an incredible demonstration. It says he took them up in his arms and put his hands upon them and blessed them. Now I can see these little children just running to him. Your children are, at least in, you know, in our society today, there's a little bit of reservation because it's such an evil society. But still there are places in the world and there are families where children are, of course, if they know you, they're not inhibited, and they'll run up. And they, I remember one time that, I don't know if any of you remember this, that the Children's Choir was singing on the platform one time, and this little girl just bolted from the front row and just jumped up on my knee and curled up. And Jesus, she just got insecure and just ran for cover. Just all of a sudden looked out, and there's all these hundreds of people, and it scared her, and she just ran. And Jesus said, unless you become as a little child. He took them up in his arms, and the Bible says he put his hands on them. And the word for put his hands in the Greek text means as putting food on the table, and it also means to dispose of one's effects by last will and testament. That's incredible. He put his hands on them. In other words, he spread a table, if you want to take it figuratively, he spread a table before them. And he said, everything that's mine is yours. He put his hands on them. He disposed of all of his goods, and he placed his last will and testament as it is on these children, who would just come to him and were beholding him. Children are so trusting, you can speak into their lives, and they will trust you, they will believe you. You could, and they will be formed by what you say. That's why, parents, I tell you, you have such an incredible responsibility in the formation of your children. Your actions, everything that you are, will impress them. And sad to say, some of them will become a replica of what you are. Some in a good sense, and some in a not so good sense. He put his hands on them, and he says he blessed them. And the word for blessed is eulogia, and it's an incredible thing. It means God's action in a man's life to bring him into the desired relationship with himself. It also means miraculously multiplied. You'll find the very same word used in Matthew 14, 27, where it says he took the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them, and miraculously multiplied them, giving them to his disciples, who in turn gave them to the multitude. These little children came and sat on the knee of Jesus as they simply beheld him. He put his hands on them, he put a table before them, and he miraculously multiplied them. That's really what the scriptures say. Unless you become as a little child, God said, if you'll come to me, I will not betray your trust. I will speak into your life and miraculously multiply you. You will have no tangible, you'll be able to say like, I just had a little bit, but what I had, I brought it to God. I had enough strength just to say, I need you, Jesus. That's all I had. But all of a sudden I found it's like an insane hand came on me. I saw a table spread before me, and the promises of God began to be miraculously multiplied in me. Incredible.
