"Let the little children come to me."

---

 

“Malice.”

 

As cancer is the wicked sickness of the body, so is malice the sickness in the body of Jesus, which is the church.

 

Malice of adults makes it near impossible to Fellowship all the way to oneness.

Paul out of the blue sky speaks about being like a child in malice but mature in understanding. Jesus also speaks out of the blue sky out loud the following words to his Father.

 

“I praise you Father of Heaven and Earth for you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and you have revealed it to the little children, because that was your good pleasure.”

 

Jesus endorses the Modus Vivendi of “Being like little children.”

 

Jesus says that unless we become like little children, we cannot see the kingdom of God. This means that a childlike innocence is needed to “See” the kingdom of God. If one cannot see the kingdom of God, he will not want to enter into something he cannot see.

 

Adults seem to talk a great deal about the kingdom of God in many sophisticated ways, but little children only need to know that there is a Heaven and they want to go there with all their hearts. Jesus requires childlikeness from adults,

Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for such as this is the kingdom of God.

 

This is not to say “Only little children will go to heaven.” No, but little children “AND THOSE SUCH AS THESE LITTLE CHILDREN.”

Remember that Jesus is not asking you to be an adult because that is a natural process and everyone gets old. What Jesus is asking is something supernatural from adults and that is to grow younger to the point of childlikeness, which is a deliberate desire to go against the natural course of life.

 

My tendency in life is to advance like a bulldozer to whatever I aim at in life.

In that process when I find it difficult to persuade adults to agree with me and pray as one, I find it easier to agree for prayer with my children and grandchildren and their little friends. In fact, I have a group of toddlers that are called, “The Super Toddlers” with whom I have been praying for several years already.

 

I love and bless little children all over the world as Jesus and Simeon blessed little children because when I was just a little baby a mysterious old man blessed me holding me in his arms. My grandma reminded me of that blessing all of my life.

I do not know how blessings work but I do know that it works. I am a blessed man and I love to bless little kids in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

 

I also ask their Parents to tell their little one that an old missionary of Jesus blesses them. I have found zero resistance from the parents when I asked them permission to bless them.

Sadly, some malicious people in church have seen with malice what I do and even spoken behind my back as “weird.”

 

Malice like Cancer kills the body life in a church. What harm is there in blessing?

The scripture tells us clearly that “For the pure, all things are pure.” Beware of malice because it reveals more about the heart of the malicious than about the one who has suffered from malice.

 

The first thing I teach my grandchildren to say is the name of Jesus. Immediately after that I teach them to pray as they learn to speak as my grandma taught me to speak at the age of one by repeating after her the Lord’s Prayer.

 

There is a time and place where Malice does not pop its ugly head and that is Prayer.

This was the “Praying Mantis” of Jesus on duty.
