Our Guest Craig Hill
SID: Now Craig Hill has identified seven critical times that you should be blessed, and many people have missed these. For instance, pray at conception. You talk about a blessing. Explain.
CRAIG: First of all, you were conceived within the protective hedge of the covenant of marriage. Now in the ancient Hebrew culture, how much chance that you’d be conceived outside of wedlock? Almost zero. Today, how much chance you’d be conceived outside wedlock? Well it’s close to 40 percent in our general population, and certain particularly groups it’s as much as 70 percent in our culture. And secondly, that you would be wanted, that your parents would want a child. And today, it’s very common that a child would be conceived and the parents don’t want that child.
SID: What would happen if a child is conceived and the parents really did not want a child at that time, or didn’t even want a child, but they were willing to abort, but they might have talked about it a lot while the baby inside the mother? Would that affect?
CRAIG: What many people don’t realize is that little children in the womb are very, very sensitive. And they pick up everything emotionally from the mother and even from the father. So they could pick up a huge amount of emotional rejection even in the womb. Where people will struggle for a lifetime with feelings, I don’t belong, I shouldn’t be here, there’s something wrong with me, I’m a mistake, nobody wants me, nobody will love me. That’s the opposite of what God intended. God intended that every little child from the very day they’re conceived should have feelings on the inside. I belong. I’m supposed to be here. I’m wanted. You know, this is amazing thing. God told me one time, Sid, “Your mother only carried you in the womb for nine months. But God carried you in His spirit for thousands of years. And at just the right moment, He released you on this earth.
SID: That is good.
CRAIG: You’re not a mistake. God planned for you even though maybe your mother didn’t.
SID: Tell me about a single mom that raises a child, doesn’t have a father. The child is raised without the father. You talk so much about the father’s blessing. What happens to that child?
CRAIG: Well you know the wonderful thing that we always find is redemption in scripture. And this is the amazing thing. God Himself says, I will be a father to the fatherless. God says, I will be a husband to the one who has no husband. And you know what I found time and time again, Sid? Is that people tell me that when they really understand that a son or daughter, or a single mom says, God, I’m taking you up on your word. You said you would be a father to my son or to my daughter. And the natural father is not there. God, would you please do that. That son or daughter has an intimacy with the Father that is rare, that many other people who don’t have a father don’t have. And in addition to that, God will send other godly men to come alongside and to speak into the life of that son or daughter.
SID: Tell me about the single mom that had the five-year old. I find this almost hard to believe.
CRAIG: I had an incredible experience where I learned about the power of marriage and the protective hedge that a marriage is. A woman came to me and she said, “I’ve got a five-year old little son and I wonder if you can help me.” I said, “What’s the problem?” She said, “He is full of lust.” That’s strange. Most five year olds I know, they’re not even alive to sex. They don’t even know it exists. She said, “Well not my son. He is full of lust. He touches other little children his age in sexual inappropriate ways. He even touches grown adults in inappropriate ways.” She said, “There isn’t a week that doesn’t go by that I don’t receive a call from his teacher or principal at school and he’s done inappropriate things. And we’ve prayed for him. Our pastor has prayed for him. He’s been seeing a psychiatrist for three months and nothing has changed. Can you help me.” Well as I began to pray, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Just start at the beginning of his life.” So I asked this woman, “Can you tell me how your son was conceived.” She said, “Well,” she began to weep. She said, “That was actually a very immoral time in my life. Even the night when he was conceived, I was with more than one man. I’m not even sure which one probably was his father.” She said, “That continued for another few months and then I met Messiah, gave my life to him. I was delivered from the lust. Never been involved in that lifestyle again. My son has never been molested or violated in any way. I don’t know where he could have gotten this.” And as she shared that, I heard the Father say, “That little boy was demonized by the spirit of lust at the very moment of conception.” I thought, God, that’s unfair. That isn’t right. That shouldn’t happen to anybody. And that’s when I heard the Father say, “Son, for the first time you understand the Law of Moses.” I thought, the Law of Moses. I was thinking back, oh, capital punishment for fornication. I thought, God, that’s so severe. If we apply that today there wouldn’t be hardly anybody left to be alive. And I said, God, why was that so severe? And I heard the Father say, “Son, that wasn’t my severity. That was my mercy for the children.” Because in that society there was no little child that would be conceived without a protective head of marriage because everybody had it. I shared that with this woman and she began to weep. She said, “I did that. I opened the door for my son. What can I do?” And I said, “Well the bad news is you did open the door and you created the situation where there was no protection for your son because the covenant of marriage is that protection. And yes, he’s been demonized. But here’s the good news. Jesus Christ died. His blood was shed to break the power of that because that lust is a curse. That’s not a blessing. And you opened the door. You have authority to close it.” And I said, “Here’s what I want you to do. You and your husband bring your son in here to the pastor and you renounce the inequity of lust.” That actually, as I talked to her more discovered it had been passed down from several generations. She wasn’t the first to open that door. I said, “You break the power of that inequity of lust, renounce it and release it to the cross of Messiah and then exchange that for purity that Jesus died to purchase for you and your son. And then you release that blessing upon your son. And then you speak to the demonic spirit, command it to leave in the name of Yeshua, and it will go. I came back two months later to that city. This woman came running up to me with a five-year old little boy with her and she said, “Remember me?” And I didn’t. But she began to share the story. And I said, now I remember you. And she said, “You wouldn’t believe what happened. We did what you said and when we commanded that demonic spirit to go,” she said, “instantly it left.” She burst into tears and she said, “I got my son back! I got my son back! He’s a normal five-year old little boy.”
SID: Listen to this. If you know the truth, the truth will set you free in any area. Nothing is hopeless in Jesus. Study the truth book, the Bible. Do what it says. Watch the victory.
