A whole new company of prophets is arising on the scene. Most of
them are anywhere from 3-1/2 to 4 feet tall, weighing around 40
pounds, and specializing in finger painting, Legos and the art of
story telling. These are the K-Kids, the Samuels, members of the
Omega generation, who are being released in the gifts of the Holy
Spirit in churches across America and around the world.
With the revelation that there is no “junior” Holy Spirit, but “one
Holy Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:11), children’s church ministers are
adapting their more orthodox and routine curriculums to include
times of activating these miniature ministers in their giftings.
Standard classroom activities have moved beyond the basic Bible
story and snack time.
Today’s progressive curriculums include “circle time” for prayers of
healing with the laying on of hands, warfare prayers against the
works of the devil, and prayers for the nations by laying hands on
maps of the world or passing giant balls painted like a globe of the
world. Children are being activated to use their prophetic giftings
as teachers sit these pee wee prophets in would-be reading circles
and release them to share what they see or hear after a time of
“quiet prayer” and a time of listening to what the Lord is saying.
When children are encouraged with the written Word that tells them
the Holy Spirit is theirs for the asking (Luke 11:13, 1 Corinthians
7:7) and then are given the opportunity to exercise their gifts
(Hebrews 5:14), we see them move with as much zeal, passion and
boldness as their senior counterparts. In many ways they are even
less reserved than their elders as they have not become encumbered
by any idea of performance or falling subject to a man-pleasing
spirit.

Not long ago I was able to witness first-hand the results of such
training within our K-Kids ministry, which I had the pleasure of
serving as master teacher for over seven years. Our Friday night
service is followed up by a time of prophetic “call-out.” One of the
prophetic team members has a precocious daughter whom I have watched
blossom into her prophetic gift, unreserved prayer and abandoned
praise. As the senior members of the team took their turn to
minister the word of the Lord to attendees, this pint-sized prophet
boldly took her turn releasing a word of edification, impartation
and comfort without missing a beat.
Recently, during corporate evening prayer, our bishop’s four
year-old grandson had a vision that he shared among the
predominately grown-up assembly. Found within this young seer’s
simplistic vision was a profound word from the Lord. In essence we
were admonished, “We must decrease so that He can increase” (John
3:30).
The days of thinking that children are to be seen and not heard must
come to an end. It is on God’s heart and agenda that these members
of the finishing generation be given every opportunity to exercise
their gifts and become trained in hearing the voice of God to
release His word, legislate His will from the heavenlies, destroy
the works of the devil and move in signs, wonders and miracles. We
must acknowledge the voice of the Lord within these future Kingdom
leaders and world shapers and recognize who’s talking, too!
