YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL THAT IT IS A MIRACLE OF GOD'S SPIRITUAL CREATION when He creates a new human soul! I don't believe in this business of a "natural" explanation at all! He uses your bodies and these natural means as instruments, but you could try as hard as you will and fuck ten times a day, but if it's not God's will for you to have a baby you're not going to have one!
HE LEAVES IT A GREAT DEAL UP TO YOU AND YOUR FAITH as to whether you want it or not, as to whether you need it or not, as to whether the Lord needs it or not for His Kingdom. I absolutely believe it when the Bible says, "All things work together for good to them that love the Lord." (Rom.8:28.) God is not going to let anything happen to a Christian, a child of God who loves the Lord, except what is for your good.
IF YOU GET PREGNANT AND HAVE A BABY YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL IT'S OF GOD! I don't care whose it is, it's God's child! The Bible says, "Children are an heritage of the Lord!" (Ps.127:3.) It does not say that children are merely an accidental product of fucking! Children are not some kind of a disease or some kind of a curse that you have to pray real hard not to have or not to catch! I don't like to look at it that way at all!
I NEVER WORRIED ONE MINUTE ABOUT IT, I SIMPLY TRUSTED THE LORD! I knew and loved the Lord enough to know that He knew and loved us and we'd just have whatever He wanted us to have whenever He wanted us to have it. If it's God's will, you'll have it, and there will be nothing in this world you can do to stop it except to stop fucking! And I doubt if you're going to do that, because if you do you'd be disobeying God!
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD? Do you believe that everything's in His hands? That nothing happens without His will, especially to His child whom He loves and to whom He wants to be good and take care of you?
DO YOU THINK ANYTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU THAT'S NOT GOOD? You say, "A lot of things happen that don't look good to me!" Well I daresay you finally found out sooner or later that somehow or another it was good for you.—Or you will yet!
SOME THINGS HAPPEN JUST TO KEEP YOU CLOSE TO THE LORD—sickness, trouble, problems. Sometimes they happen to drive you closer to each other. Sometimes they happen to keep you humble. Sometimes they happen to make you pray, all kinds of reasons for even having troubles. So even troubles and tribulations are good for us. Thank You Lord! (See Rom.8:28.)
WHAT ABOUT DAVIDITO? WAS HE A MISTAKE? Was he an accident? I think God sent Davidito along to encourage you girls and boys who have worries about having children, especially having children the way we believe in sexual freedom. If you or your husband are worried about having somebody else's child, take a good look at Davidito.
DO I LOOK UNHAPPY?—TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ME! Does Maria look unhappy?—Take a good look at her! Well, she was a little unhappy at first: "But I wanted to have your baby!"—I said, "It is my baby! What are you talking about? What the hell difference does it make whose seed it was! It's going to be your child, therefore it's my child and I am its father! I'll love it just as much whether it was my fucking or somebody else's that did it!"
The world says, "But he's a little bastard!"—What the hell is wrong with being one of God's bastards? I don't give a damn what the world thinks as long as he's God's child! I'm convinced that God is his Father; what difference does it make what man God used for the instrument? She could have fucked'm a thousand times, and still if it hadn't been God's will it wouldn't have happened! It's God's baby, it's a Jesus baby, a child of Love!
IN ITALY A CHILD BORN OUT OF MARRIAGE IS CALLED A "JESUS BABY." In other words, he was born like Jesus, before Mary and Joseph were married. They were only engaged, so here she was an unwed mother!—The Virgin Mary! Everyone knew she wasn't married yet and here she was having a baby!
THE SYSTEM'S GOT ALL ITS RULES AND ITS TRADITIONS and it doesn't matter about God or love or anything. If it isn't according to their traditions it's wrong! As Jesus told them, "Ye do make the laws of God of none effect by your traditions!" (Mt.15:6.)
BUT WE HAVE A NEW AND A DIFFERENT CONCEPT OF WHAT A FAMILY IS: It is not a little private selfish twosome who go off and live all by themselves very privately and selfishly and have no fellowship with the rest of the Family and keep their children all to themselves, like all the rest of the world's doing.
WE BELIEVE IN FAMILY UNITY, IN ONE FAMILY! But we still usually sort of couple off. I almost always sleep with the same woman. Most of you boys sleep with the same woman most of the time. But sometimes you sleep with someone else just to show love and that we have freedom and that we're one Family.
GOD'S ONLY LAW IS LOVE. As long as whatever you're doing is in love in a way that's not hurting anybody, how can you go wrong? Amen?—God give you JESUS' BABIES!
(ML #1142:1-19, Volume 11.)
1. BEARING BABIES & HAVING CHILDREN IS THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IN THIS NATURAL LIFE!—The creation of new eternal souls for the Kingdom of God! It is just as exciting as having spiritual babies, & their training is just as important, if not more so, as we can start it from the very beginning & not have to wait until the World has almost ruined them so that we have to wash their filthy brains first before we can even start filling them with God's good, clean Water of the Word!
2. WITH OUR PHYSICAL BABIES WE CAN START FROM SCRATCH & save at least half the battle & we ought to be producing the World's most wonderful children, our greatest‚ most effective & most impressive sample & testimony to the whole World! I think our own children are going to outdo any other kind of disciples we may possibly have! Because how could anyone beat such a start?—Blessed of the Lord before birth, given of God to His children for His service, born to genuine Christian missionaries on many foreign & home fields during active service for the Lord.
3. THEY REALLY HAVE COME INTO THE FAMILY THROUGH THE BIRTH CANAL & they should have the best & brightest future in the whole World, blessed by God!—Children born for the glory of God as gifts of God, reared & trained in the nurture & admonition of the Lord to live all their lives for His Love & His Glory!—Taught to love & serve the Lord & others from the very beginning, & blessed by God because of their faithful parents from the very start!—What a head start!
4. TO ME THEY'RE THE MOST EXCITING LITTLE THINGS IN THE WHOLE WORLD, & I love 'em & I love to be around them & surrounded by them & busy teaching & training them as I was with mine when they were small, & still am with all of you crazy little kids! Thank You, Jesus, for our precious children that are such a joy to our hearts, that encourage & inspire us, Lord! We look at them & we know that You live to have created such beautiful little ones & made them so good & so precious & so obedient & such a blessing & such a testimony. Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus!
5. BABIES ARE ETERNAL GIFTS WE'RE TRAINING, NOT JUST FOR TIME BUT FOR ETERNITY.—That's the most precious gift!—God's greatest gift!—His Love in a little child—so sweet & beautiful!—They're treasures! More precious than gold or silver or jewels or pearls or diamonds or emeralds or any of those things, they're precious! They're all treasures, because they'll last forever!—Isn't that wonderful? Little new created souls‚ they are going to be with us always! TYJ!
6. THINK WHAT A THRILLING THING IT IS! It is worth paying the price of a little sickness & a little weariness. God is using you dear mothers to create an immortal soul! God has done it‚ but He's using you to do it, you're the tool, creating something that is going to last forever! It's the biggest miracle since the creation of the World, every time a woman has a baby there's another immortal soul that is going to live forever! What a miracle!
7. AND ALTHOUGH IT'S VERY MYSTERIOUS HOW THE LORD ORDERS HIS CREATION & PLANS IT & decides on who should have babies & who should not, we know that He does not make any mistakes about making babies any more than any other part of His creation. God ordained you to give birth if He gave you a baby! God is the Creator of human souls. God is the Creator of pregnancy, not just merely some man [making love with] a woman! I [made love with] my wife thousands of times but only had four children! How come I had four children?—God ordained those children to be brought into being, He created those children, not I. We were merely the human instruments that God used.
8. HE'S THE ONE WHO CREATES THAT SPARK OF LIFE, OF SPIRIT, the human soul, the union of spirit & body to form a human soul. I'm sure He knows what He's doing when He creates a baby through you & the mechanics of you & your mate. You could work at it all you want to‚ & some people I know do, & never have any children. Other people that don't even want 'em have 'em 'cause I guess the Lord knows they can, they need 'em, they ought to have 'em or something. It's a miracle of God all the way through.
9. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANY HUMAN BEING, HUMAN SPIRIT IS CREATED WITHOUT THE TOUCH OF THE DIVINE, the touch of the hand of God! I think when He decides He's going to have another soul in existence in this Universe, He makes that definite decision & He creates that soul & He endows it with the spirit when He gets ready & that is a direct creation of God‚ ordained of the Spirit of God.
10. JUST LOOK AT OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN!—What could be more beautiful than our babies? They're so close to God, straight from Heaven. Look at you, God ordained you, before you were ever born & before the foundation of the World. He foreknew that you were going to exist because He chose to create you. You were chosen, you didn't just happen by accident. (See Jer.1:5.)
11. SO I WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE SCARED TO DEATH OF GOD TO INTERFERE WITH HIS NATURAL PROCESSES, do anything to interfere with the natural course of nature‚ the way God made you & the way He intended for you to be. So [make love]! You're not going to have any babies except the ordained souls of God & children of God He intends for you to have!
12. (PRAYER FOR BABY TECHI:) BLESS THAT PRECIOUS LITTLE TINY LIFE THAT YOU CREATED‚ Lord, such a miracle.—A whole new soul for Thy Kingdom, Lord‚ an eternal everlasting immortal soul, lying swaddled in those little blankets, Lord, she's going to live forever! It's so wonderful, Lord, the only thing You give us that we can take with us, the souls You give us, & the babies & children reared up in Thy nurture & admonition. Thank You, Lord, for them. Help us to prize everyone as precious, thank You Jesus. Bless Davidito tonight too & all our children wherever they are & their families‚ Thy children everywhere, thank You Lord.
13. (SINGS:)
"SWEETEST LITTLE GIRL, EYES SO SO SHINING BLUE,
MAKES YOU THINK THAT HEAVEN'S COMING MIGHTY CLOSE TO YOU!
Sleeping in her mama's arm, looking up at you‚
Makes you think that Heaven's coming mighty close to you!
Sleeping on her mama's breast, looking so sweet & fine,
That's the way she gets her rest‚ 'cause she knows she's mine.
Sweetest little girl that God gave us too,
She is a little angel, came from out the blue!
Looking at her mommy, eyes all shining blue,
Makes you think that Heaven's coming mighty close to you!"
14. SOME OF OUR FOLKS ARE JUST BEGINNING TO LEARN THAT CHILDREN ARE A HARD JOB, A LOT OF WORK. I guess some of them figured that since they were a gift of God, God was going to take care of them! It's like the old story about the farmer: He had been a pioneer & had hacked his farm out of the woods in the jungle. So the preacher was out visiting one Sunday afternoon for dinner & the farmer was showing him around the beautiful farm. The preacher wanted, of course, to give God all the credit. He said, "My, what a beautiful farm the Lord has given you!" The old farmer said‚ "Yeah, but you should have seen it when the Lord had it!"
15. CHILDREN ARE A GIFT OF GOD, BUT THEY'RE ALSO THE WORK OF GOD. So it doesn't stop with the gift—that gift is a lot of hard work. When God gives you children, then your first duty to God is to those children! That is God's work! God gave them & they're His children, but He wants you to take care of them & train them!—And it's a full-time job! By the time you've got one or two kids‚ your job is cut out for you!—That's the Lord's work! So don't ever say, "I haven't got time to take care of my kids.—I'm too busy with the Lord's work." Baloney! Those kids are the Lord's work!
16. AND THEY ARE A BIG JOB! But with a big job comes a big reward & with big responsibility comes lots of benefits. So you should be very proud of & very thankful for them.—It's the greatest life & greatest work in the World to be a mother for the Lord & to be rearing "knew disciples" for Jesus, PTL! And they'll be a great blessing to you too.
17. I THINK YOU GIRLS ARE WONDERFUL TO BE MOTHERS!—It's a big job but Jesus will help you. He made it all. It's all His idea so He knows just how to finish it. "He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it unto the end." (Phil.1:6) In fact, I think Motherhood is just about the greatest calling in the World!—Mothers of the next generation! They are the ones that are molding the future & making the World!—They make it through their children. The World of tomorrow is what the mothers of today make it, according to the way they raise their children.
18. WHAT AN IMPORTANT JOB A MOTHER HAS! It doesn't seem very important, does it, taking care of nothing but a baby, changing diapers? But who knows what that baby will be someday?—Who knows how important that child may be to the Lord? One human immortal soul is worth more than all the World.—One little babe is worth more & going to last longer.
19. SO DON'T EVER DESPISE IT OR MINIMIZE IT! Taking care of children is probably the most important job there is, molding a little life & teaching it everyday.
(pages 806-807 of Treasures.)
"Children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward! Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them!"—Psalm 127:3-5.
*
Every time a child is born there is another SOUL that is going to live FOREVER! It's the biggest miracle since the creation of the World! One immortal soul is worth more than all the World! One little babe is worth more and is going to last longer!
*
That's the MOST PRECIOUS gift!—God's greatest gift!—His Love in a little child!

Almost two centuries ago men followed the events of Napoleon's march of conquest waiting with bated breath for any news of the outcome of his various wars. All the while, babies were being born in their own homes. But who could think about BABIES? Everybody was thinking about BATTLES!
However, in that one year, 1809, there came into the World several babies who were destined to become stars of the greatest magnitude—WILLIAM GLADSTONE‚ considered by many as Britain's greatest statesman of the 19th century; ABRAHAM LINCOLN, one of America's most famous Presidents; ALFRED LORD TENNYSON, the celebrated poet laureate of Britain; and LOUIS BRAILLE, the blind inventor of the widely used Braille system of reading for the blind! But while they were being born, no one thought of babies, just battles. Yet which of the BATTLES of 1809 mattered more than the BABIES of 1809?
We fancy that God can manage His World only with big BATTALIONS, when all the while He is doing it by BABIES! Whenever a wrong needs righting, or a truth needs preaching‚ God sends a BABY into the World to do it!
*
A baby is a small member of the home that makes love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, the bankroll smaller, the home happier, the past forgotten and the future worth living for!
*
Raising children is a fulltime job! Motherhood requires the strength of Samson, the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job, the faith of Abraham, the insight of Daniel, the courage of King David, and MOST of all, the LOVE of GOD!
*
God knows what He's doing when He uses the union of a man and a woman to create life! So why not leave your "family planning" to HIM? It is foolish to believe that any human being is ever created without the touch of the Divine! GOD is the CREATOR of human souls! God is the Creator of pregnancy, and when He decides to put another soul into existence in this Universe, HE makes that decision!—It is the direct creation of GOD, ORDAINED by God!
So-called "family planning" is nothing but defiance of God by attempting to design your own future‚ unwillingness to trust God, attempting to take things out of His hands, refusing to create the lives He's ordained, and saying that YOU know better than GOD!
