GOD'S REDEMPTIVE PROMISES

Scriptures and declarations provided by Dr. Dan Cheatham

God has established His will to heal when Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead. Each of these struggles are simply issues of healing. It is no bigger impossibility with God than to heal a head cold or skin sores. Throughout Scripture we have many examples of women who struggled, then God showed up and impossibilities became miracle realities (i.e. Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Samson's Mother, Wife of Monoah, Hannah, Elisabeth).

 

GOD DESIRES FRUITFULNESS IN CHILDBEARING

  • GENESIS 1:28 KJV And God blessed them; and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
  • JEREMIAH 29:6 KJV Take wives and become the fathers of sons and daughters - multiply there and do not decrease.
  • PSALM 127:3 AMP Behold children are a gift of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is a reward.  
  • MALACHI 2:15 NIV Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.

FAITH DECLARATION: God's plan is that we be fruitful and multiply. Therefore, it is wholesome and most natural that we desire to bear children in obedience to His command.

 

GOD’S PROMISE OF FERTILITY

  • EXODUS 23:25, 26 NIV Worship the Lord your God and His blessing will be upon your food and water. I will take sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full lifespan.

FOR THE HUSBAND

  • PSALM 112: 1,2 KJV Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in His commandments. HIS SEED SHALL BE MIGHTY upon earth.

FOR BOTH

  • DEUTERONOMY 7:14 NIV You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women shall be childless.

 FAITH DECLARATION: According to God's Word, our seed is blessed, and our womb is fruitful. God sets us free from barreness as we serve him.

  • DEUTERONOMY 7:13 NIV He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb.

FAITH DECLARATION:  God settles us and makes us happy parents of children. We relax and let God make us fruitful. God blesses my womb. Because of the promises, we believe we conceive in Jesus name. It is inevitable. From now on, we consider conception a done deal by the power of the Holy Spirit and on the authority of God's written Word. Now we're free to enjoy one another as we make love, without making it a project.

ADDITIONAL BOOK RESOURCES

Not all the below resources will doctrinally align with LifePointe’s interpretation of God’s will, that it is always God’s will to heal, protect and provide. We believe that it is never God’s will to prevent someone, or allow them, to be barren, have miscarriages or birth issues. While we don’t understand why various things happen in a fallen world, we are confident in God’s will to always prosper us spirit, soul and body.
