Before We Were Born

This past Mother's Day most of us took time to celebrate the unconditional love of our mothers. We thanked them for all they had done to bless and care for us while we were children. What most of us don't know is that what she said and how she felt about us before we were born was just as important.
"All the scores that I knew, sight unseen, were the ones my mother had played while she was pregnant with me," said Boris Brott, a gifted philharmonic conductor. "Music has been a part of me since before my birth."
Is that really possible? Do children learn and remember; are they aware of what they experience in the womb? According to Dr. Thomas Verny, author of The Secret Life of the Unborn Child, they can and do. "An unborn child is not just an inanimate fetus. He or she is a real person who feels and whose identity and self-perception are strongly shaped by his mother's words, emotions, and attitudes," he wrote.

When an expectant mom sits quietly, rubbing her tummy and talking to her baby, she is subtly and methodically forming more than the physical body of her child. She is touching the heart and shaping her child's future.

This holds true for the father as well. His love and acceptance of the baby, his anticipation and excitement for its arrival and his communication can have the same affect. That is why it is so important that parents bless their children while they are in the womb.

Read more about this in Chapter 5 of my book, The Power of a Parent's Blessing. Also, read Psalms 139:14-16, Isaiah 44:2, and Galatians 1:15-16.

A Monopoly on Blessing

"Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." (3 John 2)
If this scripture was written for the entire body of Christ, then why does one ethnic culture, which makes up only 2% of the American population, seem to have a monopoly on the blessing?

Forty percent of the top 40 Forbes 400 richest Americans are Jewish. One-third of American multimillionaires are Jewish. Twenty five percent of all American Nobel prize winners are Jewish. The list goes on and the Jewish people are consistently at the top in every category accept one; they're at the bottom when it comes to poverty.

Now, we can resent this and blame Jewish people for the problems of the world. That's called antisemitism, and is contrary to God's ways, or we can learn from them. It's not that Jewish people have a greater blessing from God, because by the blood of Messiah Jesus, we who are not natural-born Jews, are grafted into a better covenant and should be walking in a greater level of blessing. Yet this is not normally the case. Why not? What are the Jewish people doing that most other people aren't doing?

The Jewish people know how to bless their children, and have been doing so for centuries. They have established and have simply been practicing God's ways of blessing. I call them the Ancient Paths. They are available to all of us and they are tied directly to the prosperity of the soul (mind, will, and emotions). Blessing causes the soul to prosper. If you want prosperity and health, then you'll have to learn about these ancient paths. Read more in my latest book.
