From Theresa Phillips

In the revivals and outpourings of this decade, there will be a spiritual phenomenon taking place among children. This has been the case throughout Church history. One can't forget Jesus' words, "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 19:14). Jesus also said, "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in Heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in Heaven" (Matthew 18:10).

Why would He say that children's angels always behold the face of His Father? His face contains His mouth and these angels will reveal the very words of the Father to little children. Angels have always played a significant role in the Good News spreading to the nations. They showed up to shepherds keeping watch over their flock by night before the birth of Christ, to folks like Cornelius in Acts, and many other accounts in the New Testament to declare Good News.

Children's angels see the Father's face, a special Heavenly grant unto the pure in heart. To see the Father's face would be to know His very emotions, as the face reveals much about a person. So children will be shown by their angels about our God what many others can't see through trances, visions, translations to Heaven, the prophetic, and the glory realms of God. Children will see mysteries today. Children will be carriers of Heaven's knowledge. Children in this decade will be carriers of authentic revival fire who carry no hidden agendas save for God's alone.

Problematically, how many church leaderships would actually allow children to come up and minister words of knowledge on the microphone? If a child naively went up and tugged on the main speakers pant leg in a church service saying I have a word from Jesus for church today?, would he or she be ready to interrupt programs and protocol we hold high to listen to the wisdom of a child? This dilemma in the Body is about to change as many are seeing these truths. So in this new decade a shift will begin in churches across the world, where children will be given the privilege to share visions, pray for the sick, impart revival fire to people, and much more. God is going to use children who receive Christ to save their Muslim and Hindu parents and other religions in the 10/40 window, Europe, and all over the globe.

Testimony of Children

I remember when I was just a child of age three, God was already allowing me to see dreams and visions of Heaven and Hell even before my parents told me about these places. When it came time for me to hear about Heaven and Hell at age six, I already knew I had seen them. God used to give my brother, sister and me the same exact dreams in the night when we were little children, warning us of things to come years down the road! I would be shocked as my brother would share his dream at the breakfast table and I realized it was the exact same dream I had!

Even my own son Samuel is sharing special things with us at the age of three. One night we were driving home from Chuck E. Cheese, and my child told us information that made us avoid a car accident! Just that morning, I spoke with a prophet friend of mine named Gordon Jensen, famous for writing many popular Christian songs in the 70s and 80s and a good friend of Mark Chironna. Gordon said to me one morning, "Munday, listen to your children because God is going to speak to you through them." Well that very night He did! Samuel began to say, "Mommy, I hit truck!" as we were making our way home.

My wife took immediate notice and urged me to slow down and veer into the next lane as we were going 55 miles per hour, so I did. If I had not done that, we would have rammed right into a truck stopped dead in the middle of the road. My child in no way in the natural could have seen that. God allowed him to see 30 seconds into the future! So I would encourage many parents reading this, prophetically—listen to your children. God will show them things to help you in your life. They may even be given secrets from angels that will help you maintain peace in your finances, warn you about disasters to come, and tell you secret things going on presently or in the future you need to know in the spirit realm.

In 2008, I was in Brazil conducting a crusade and we began to sense a spirit of witchcraft coming against us in the room. At that moment, I chose to give an altar call for witches, and sure enough, maybe six or more women came up who had been involved in witchcraft and were willing to be set free. I could have ignored the demons in the room and moved on, hoping God would free these people from them; but I figured, you only live once, let's just go straight for the bull's-eye. In this crusade we had been seeing God shrink growths off of bodies, miracles were off the charts, and people were getting healed in cities hours away who were just watching the Internet broadcast of the crusade in their homes.

In this crusade, one man actually came out of a coma who had been that way for eight months or so. The witches who came up got free! Some vomited out the demons; others shot back in the power of God and fell over. Sure enough, the demons left, and the resistance in the room left!

Suddenly, young kids and children, who had never been filled with the Holy Spirit before, were all knocked out under the power of God after the glory moved in, and many went into trances for the first time and began laughing hysterically and uncontrollably. Even after the crusade was over, parents happily called the church leaders saying their kids were still waking up at home completely immersed and drunk in the Spirit days after the crusade, and laughing hysterically. The next Sunday after we left, word got out about the power that had been coming in waves and people were standing outside in the street just trying to get into the church to experience God and this new move among children at the church.

Our Paradigms Need to Shift!

As Acts 2:17 declares, "Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." Now, our paradigms will have to shift in order to allow God to use little children, as He has ordained praise through the mouth of babes.

I believe that New England is getting ready to see a wave of glory hit the youth of America and children. This will be seen in three cities: Boston, Massachusetts; New Haven Connecticut; and Baltimore, Maryland. I also see the rise of children being used in the supernatural in China, and many Asian cultures and nations. I love the Lord and I have to say, I love His tender heart for children! The Lord told Bob Jones that one billion youth would be saved by the year 2020. The Lord is obviously very interested in the youth.

Let's remember a great quote from James A. Stewart: "Revival is the people of God living in the power of an ungrieved, unquenched Spirit." I believe one of the easiest ways to grieve the Lord is to grieve what He wants to do through little children. Let's embrace what the Holy Spirit is about to do through our youth as He ushers in a major awakening before Jesus returns to earth.
