When Jackie and I met
and began talking marriage, she said to me, “If we are going to get married,
there is something about me you should know.”
“I CAN’T HAVE
CHILDREN!” she said.
What a devastating
statement! Women around the world have made the same declaration. My question
to them now is the same question I posed to Jackie over two decades ago. “Oh,
really? Who said? Who said you can’t have children?” It makes a major
difference in every area of your life, who said. I am always asking people that
question, “Who said?”
Jackie answered me,
“The doctors said.”
“Oh, I see. Well, God
said you can have babies,” I told her. “Even though I thank God for doctors and
hospitals, and medical science is always advancing, they are not our source,
our final authority; God is, and God said you can have children.”
“He did?”
“Sure. The Bible is
full of Scriptures about children. He said He makes the barren woman to keep
house and be a joyful mother of children. He said your children will be as
olive plants and your wife as a fruitful vine. The Bible says there will be
neither male nor female barren among God’s people. We will have all the
children we want.”
And we did. We have
four children—two boys and two girls. And we’ve taken them around the world
with us giving Living Bread to dying men, sharing the gospel with the world
that cost the blood of Jesus.
Jackie’s testimony of
supernatural child birth has gone literally around the world. In many nations
where I go, people come up to me and say, “I’ve heard your wife’s tape on
supernatural childbirth.” We have files of testimonies from women at home and
abroad who have beautiful children because they applied these faith principles
from God’s Word. We strongly believe that any man, woman, boy, or girl can take
God’s Word and change his/her circumstances through faith and prayer.
Something that Jackie and I want people to understand is that to us, supernatural childbirth is being able to believe God to get pregnant, carry that baby to full term, and have a healthy mommy deliver a healthy baby. Many people think that supernatural childbirth only means having painless childbirth because that is what Jackie did with three of our four children; but we’ve never been dogmatic about that. Our point is having the baby and being healthy. The painless part and all the other extras we’ve had and believed for are available for you as you use your faith and “shoot for the stars; go for the best; aim high!” Those are faith principles. With God and faith, you can always go all out and aim high. The bottom line is this: the Bible says, “According to your faith.” There isn’t a right way and a wrong way in this book. There isn’t “Jackie’s way.” It’s according to your faith. We got what we used our faith for. We believe you will too!
