PREFACE: THE SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION OF CHILDBEARING
How would your life change if you knew, with absolute certainty, that God’s Will for your pregnancy and delivery was entirely devoid of pain, fear, and complications? For decades, women have been programmed by the world, by doctors, and even by Well-meaning friends to expect nine months of misery followed by a day of agony. We have been told that "sorrow" is our inheritance from Eve.
But Terry and I decided a long time ago that we wanted to know what God has to say about every area of our lives. We have a fundamental belief that God is smarter than we are—and smarter than any medical textbook. Through the Word of God, we discovered that you are a covenant person, and Christ has redeemed you from every part of the curse (Galatians 3:13).
This manual is the completely reorganized, structurally improved, and expanded Summary of "Supernatural Childbirth." It is designed to take you from the foundational theology of redemption to the practical mastery of your body and the supernatural delivery of your child.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This guide is divided into Five Parts. To see the manifestation of these truths, you must not simply read them—you must "mirror" them to God and "speak" them to your circumstances.Every chapter is precisely structured with:
1. The Central Scripture: Your legal anchor in the Word of God.
2. The Principle: A deep explanation of the theological truth.
3. The Practical Action: Precise, combat-ready steps to apply the truth.
4. The Declaration: Faith-filled words to speak over your life.
PART 1: THE THEOLOGY OF REDEMPTION
CHAPTER 1: THE ORIGINAL DESIGN
Central Scripture:
*"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it..."* (Genesis 1:28).
The Principle
God’s original design for childbirth was an event marked by blessing, power, and joy. It is crucial to internalize that the command to "be fruitful and multiply" was the very first mandate given to humanity—and it was given in a state of perfection, entirely devoid of pain, sickness, or fear. God does not attach sorrow to His blessings (Proverbs 10:22).
When Terry and I first started talking about marriage, the doctors had told me for years that I could not carry a baby. They said even if I got pregnant by some slim chance, I would have to spend nine months in bed. But Terry’s standard comment was always, "Who said?" It makes a massive difference who the final authority is in your life. If the doctors say "impossible" and God says "be fruitful," we chose to believe God.
The Practical Action
- Identify the Source: Stop viewing pregnancy as a medical condition. It is a Divine assignment.
- Change Your Vocabulary: Eliminate the word "labor" if it implies "toil and pain" to you. Use terms like "bringing forth life" or "power surges."
- Focus on the "Blessing": Begin referring to your pregnancy as a manifestation of God's first command. If He commanded it, He has provided the strength to do it.
The Declaration
"Lord, I thank You that Your first words over mankind were a blessing. I am designed to be fruitful. I refuse the world’s prognosis and I embrace my pregnancy as a glorious manifestation of Your original intent. I will multiply with joy and supernatural ease. I am a fruitful vine, and my children are olive plants around my table."CHAPTER 2: THE CURSE AND THE CROSS
Central Scripture:
*"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree."* (Galatians 3:13).
The Principle
Many believers accept the pain of childbirth as an unavoidable punishment inherited from Eve. In Genesis 3:16, God said, *"In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children."* However, we must understand that this "sorrow" was a component of the curse of the law.Isaiah 53:4 tells us that Jesus has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. The Hebrew word for "sorrow" here is the same word used in the Genesis 3:16 curse. If Jesus bore the sorrow, you don't have to! Christ’s work on the cross was absolute and complete. He became a curse so that the blessing of Abraham could come upon us. You cannot be under the curse of painful childbirth if you are under the blood of Jesus.
The Practical Action
- Separate Facts from Truth: The medical "fact" is that the curse exists in the natural world. The spiritual "Truth" is that Jesus took that curse for you personally.
- Refuse the Pain: When discomfort or "labor pains" are mentioned, do not accept them as your portion. Rebuke them the same way you would rebuke a fever, a tumor, or a financial attack.
- Stand on Substitution: Remind yourself—and the devil—daily that Jesus already paid the price for your comfort and speed in delivery.
The Declaration
"I am redeemed from the curse of the law! Jesus Christ became a curse for me, and therefore, I refuse the curse of painful, sorrowful childbirth. Because of His stripes, I am healed and preserved. I claim my covenant right to a delivery free from toil and agony. satan, you cannot touch my body; I am property of the King."
CHAPTER 3: THE HEBREW WOMEN ANOINTING
Central Scripture:*"And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them."* (Exodus 1:15-19).
The Principle
Even under the Old Covenant, the children of God experienced a different physical reality than the world around them. While the Egyptian women suffered through long, difficult deliveries, the Hebrew women were "lively"—vigorous, strong, and incredibly fast. They were often delivered before the midwives could even arrive!
This was not a medical anomaly; it was a result of their covenant with God. Today, we have a superior covenant established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). If the Hebrew women could have "lively" deliveries under the old law, how much more should we expect effortless, rapid deliveries under the grace of Jesus Christ?
The Practical Action
- Reject Worldly Statistics: You are not an "Egyptian" woman; you are a child of the covenant. Your experience will not match the world's hospital averages of 12-20 hours.
- Define Your Expectation: Decide now how long your delivery will take. When I had my first baby, I prayed for a short labor, and it was 3 hours and 15 minutes. When I moved into "Supernatural Childbirth" faith for my second, it was only 40 minutes from the first contraction to the baby being in my arms.
- Trust the Divine Design: Your body knows exactly what to do. When you remove fear, your muscles can work with maximum efficiency.
The Declaration
"I have a better covenant with better promises. I will not experience an 'Egyptian' delivery. Like the Hebrew women, I am lively, strong, and vigorous. My body works quickly, efficiently, and supernaturally to bring forth this child. I command my delivery to be swift and my strength to be renewed throughout the process."CHAPTER 4: SAVED (SOZO) IN CHILDBEARING
Central Scripture:
*"Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety."* (1 Timothy 2:15).
The Principle
The word "saved" used here is the Greek word 'sozo'. This is the same word used throughout the New Testament for salvation, healing, preservation, and wholeness. It means to be delivered, protected, healed, and made entirely whole.This verse is a specific, legal promise of physical safety and health during the birth process. It is a guarantee from God that the mother and baby will be physically preserved. However, the promise has a "condition of activation": *if they continue in faith and love.* You must keep your heart free from strife and your mind fixed on the Word to walk in the fullness of this protection.
The Practical Action
- Walk in Love: Strife is a faith-killer. During your pregnancy, be extra diligent to walk in love with your spouse, your children, and your medical team.
- Reject Complications: If a doctor speaks of potential risks (like gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia), politely reject them in your spirit. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy, but I stood on the Word, and in the next three pregnancies, every test came back negative.
- Pray for Wholeness: Don't just pray for "getting through it." Pray for absolute physical perfection—no tearing, no stitches, and no damage to your body or the baby's.
The Declaration
"I am saved, protected, and made whole in childbearing! The Lord preserves my life and the life of my baby. I am 'Sozo'—healed and made whole. I walk in love and faith, and I receive the full manifestation of God’s safety over my delivery. No weapon formed against my health shall prosper."PART 2: MASTERING YOUR REALM (MIND & WORDS)
CHAPTER 5: RENEWING YOUR MIND
Central Scripture:*"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."* (Romans 12:2).
The Principle
The battle for a supernatural childbirth is won or lost in your mind long before you reach the hospital. Your mind is currently programmed with "horror stories" from mother-in-laws, TV shows, and medical worst-case scenarios. If you don't renew your mind, your natural fear will choke out your spiritual faith. You must "stop up your ears" to the world's reports and flood your consciousness with God's report.
The Practical Action
- Set a Guard at Your Ears: When people start telling you their traumatic birth stories, politely stop them. Say, "I'm only listening to positive, supernatural birth stories right now."
- Immerse in Testimonies: Read and listen to testimonies of women who had painless, fast births. Normalize the supernatural until it becomes your only expectation.
- Knowledge Evicts Fear: Learn how your body works. The "unknown" produces fear. When the Lord showed me that a "labor pain" is simply a muscle contraction (like flexing my arm), the mystery and the fear vanished.
The Declaration
"I refuse to be conformed to the world’s expectations of pain and trauma. I am transforming my mind with the Word of God. My mind belongs to Christ. I choose what I listen to, and I choose to believe the report of the Lord. I have the mind of Christ, and my mind is filled with peace."CHAPTER 6: EVICTING THE SPIRIT OF FEAR
Central Scripture:*"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."* (2 Timothy 1:7).
The Principle
Fear is not a natural emotion; it is a demonic spirit sent to paralyze your faith and open a door for the enemy to attack (Job 3:25). In childbirth, fear causes your physical muscles to tense up. This tension is what produces friction, and friction is what produces pain. When you remove the spirit of fear, your body can relax, allowing the baby to pass through without resistance or pain. Perfect love—an absolute persuasion of God’s love for you—casts out fear.The Practical Action
- Identify the Root: Write down precisely what you are afraid of (tearing, the baby's health, the pain, the timing).
- The Verbal Rebuke: You cannot "think" your way out of a spirit of fear; you must "speak" your way out. Verbally command the spirit of fear to leave your home and your mind in the Name of Jesus.
- Stomp Your Foot: When fear tries to return during labor, be aggressive. I had to "stomp my foot" in the car on the way to the hospital and tell the devil I refused to be afraid. The pain left instantly.
The Declaration
"Spirit of fear, I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus! You have no place in my mind, my body, or my home. God has given me power, love, and a sound, peaceful mind. I trust entirely in My Father's love for me. Perfect love has cast out all fear, and I rest in His total protection."
CHAPTER 7: THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS
Central Scripture:*"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."* (Proverbs 18:21).
The Principle
Your body is literally listening to everything you say. If you joke about how "miserable" you are or talk about how "scary" labor will be, your body will manufacture that reality. Your words are the "rudder" that steers the ship of your life. During my pregnancies, I had to learn to stop complaining and start commanding. If you talk like the world, you will get the world's results.The Practical Action
- The Speech Audit: For one week, pay attention to every word you say about your body and your baby. Eliminate all negative "joking," complaining, and "what-if" scenarios.
- Command Your Body: Talk directly to your reproductive organs, your blood pressure, your back, and your cervix. Command them: "Vagina, you be elastic and stretch perfectly. Cervix, you dilate rapidly and easily without tearing."
- Confess Before You Conceive: If you want a specific gender or trait, pray for it *before* conception. I prayed for a girl with blue eyes and curly hair, and that is exactly what Lori Dawn is.
The Declaration
"My words are spirit and they are life. I command my body to submit to the Word of God. Every system and organ functions with Divine precision. I speak life, health, and peace over my pregnancy. I am a joyful mother, and I will have a glorious testimony of God's power."PART 3: THE PREGNANCY PIPELINE
CHAPTER 8: OVERCOMING BARRENNESS
Central Scripture:*"He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord."* (Psalm 113:9).
The Principle
Barrenness is a symptom of the curse, and Jesus broke the curse. The Bible is overflowing with examples of God reversing barrenness: Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, and myself. Doctors told me I would never have children, but God said I would have all the children I wanted. We ended up with four! Your fertility is not determined by your hormones or your age; it is determined by your covenant with the Creator of life.
The Practical Action
- Reject the Diagnosis: A doctor’s word is a "fact," but God’s Word is the "Ultimate Truth." Use the Word to overrule the medical report.
- The Faith Point of Contact: Show your faith by purchasing a small baby item (socks, a blanket). Keep it where you can see it and thank God for the child that is coming.
- Command the Womb: Lay your hands on your own womb and command it to be fruitful, healthy, and ready to receive seed.
The Declaration
"I am a joyful mother of children! My body is fruitful. I command barrenness and infertility to leave my life in Jesus' name. My womb is a place of life, and I receive the creative power of the Holy Spirit into my physical body right now. I am blessed, and I will not be barren!"CHAPTER 9: PEACE IN PREGNANCY (NO SICKNESS)
Central Scripture:*"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."* (Isaiah 26:3).
The Principle
Pregnancy is not meant to be nine months of sickness, exhaustion, and hormonal chaos. Morning sickness is a symptom of the natural realm that you can resist in the spiritual realm. While your body is changing, you have tithers' rights (Malachi 3:11) to be preserved from "casting your fruit" and from the "devourer" attacking your health. You can claim physical stability and high energy for the entire duration of your pregnancy.The Practical Action
- Lay Hands on Your Stomach: If nausea tries to come, do not welcome it. Say, "I rebuke this sickness. My body processes these hormones perfectly and smoothly."
- Expect Energy: Refuse the narrative that you must be "exhausted." Claim the strength of the Lord as your own.
- Guard Your Atmosphere: Disconnect from stressful news or chaotic environments. Your baby is growing in the atmosphere you create with your peace.
The Declaration
"I refuse morning sickness, fatigue, and hormonal depression. My body adapts perfectly to this pregnancy. I have the energy of the Lord. I am kept in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on Him. Every day is a day of joy and physical strength."CHAPTER 10: THE LAW OF AGREEMENT (HUSBANDS)
Central Scripture:
*"If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."* (Matthew 18:19).
The Principle
The husband plays a vital role as the priest of the home. When a husband and wife stand in absolute unity, their spiritual authority is multiplied. However, even if your husband is not yet in agreement, you can stand in agreement with the Word of God alone. For Terry and me, our agreement was our "shield." He would mirror the Word to God, and I would agree. He would speak to my body, and I would receive it. Strife is the greatest enemy of this law; you must maintain peace in your marriage at all costs.The Practical Action
- Husbands, Command the Body: Daily, the husband should lay hands on his wife's abdomen and speak to the baby and the body parts (bones, joints, muscles, cervix).
- The Prayer of Agreement: Sit together and "mirror" the scriptures back to God. Tell Him exactly what His Word says about your delivery.
- Eradicate Strife: Make a quality decision to forgive instantly and refuse to argue. If you let strife in, you let the devil in.
The Declaration
"We stand together in perfect agreement. We are unified in our faith for a pain-free, supernatural delivery. No strife, no division, and no doubt will enter our home. As one, we command the blessing of the Lord over this child and this birth."PART 4: THE DELIVERY & RECOVERY
CHAPTER 11: THE DELIVERY ROOM MASTERCLASS
Central Scripture:*"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child."* (Isaiah 66:7).
The Principle
You do not have to enter "labor" as the world knows it. Instead of painful contractions, your body can experience "muscle contractions" or "power surges" that open the way for the baby effortlessly. Fear causes tension; tension causes pain. By remaining completely relaxed and refusing fear, you allow your body to work with Divine efficiency. I had Paul David, a ten-pound baby, in only 40 minutes of total labor without a single stitch or a drop of pain.
The Practical Action
- The "Mirror" Technique: During the process, tell God what He promised. Remind Him: "You said I would be delivered before the pain came."
- Control the Room: You are the authority in that room. Speak to the atmosphere. Have scriptures playing or typed out. Praise God continuously; it’s hard to fear when you are praising.
- Relax Every Muscle: Consciously "go limp" during the contractions. Let the muscles do the work while you rest in the Lord.
The Declaration
"My body is opening up perfectly. I command my cervix to yield and my muscles to work in total harmony. I refuse tension, I refuse pain, and I deliver this child with joy and speed. satan, I have run you off; you have no part in this delivery room!"CHAPTER 12: SUPERNATURAL RECOVERY (REBUILDING)
Central Scripture:*"The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever."* (Psalm 138:8).
The Principle
Supernatural childbirth doesn't end when the baby is out; it extends into a supernatural recovery. You do not have to suffer from postpartum depression, profound exhaustion ("the baby blues"), or long healing times. Your body was designed to "knit back together" instantly. The same Holy Spirit that brought the baby out will restore your physical body to its intended strength and balance.
The Practical Action
- Command Rapid Healing: Speak to any stretching or internal tissues, commanding them to "knit back together" and return to their original state immediately.
- Refuse the "Blues": Depression is a spirit. Verbally refuse it. Command your hormones to balance perfectly in Jesus' Name.
- Declare Abundant Milk: If you are nursing, believe God for an abundant, rich supply of milk and a painless experience.
The Declaration
"My body is instantly healed and restored. I have no postpartum depression, only the joy of the Lord. My strength is renewed daily, and I have an abundant supply of everything my baby needs. The Lord is perfecting my physical recovery right now!"CHAPTER 13: THE TESTIMONY & DEDICATION
Central Scripture:*"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children."* (Isaiah 54:13).
The Principle
The miracle is a seed. Once you have experienced the power of God in your birth, you have a responsibility to share that testimony to build faith in others. Furthermore, once that child is in your arms, you dedicate them back to the Kingdom. The faith you used to sustain the pregnancy is the same faith you will use to raise a "lively" and godly child.
The Practical Action
- Dedicate Promptly: Within the first 24 hours, verbally dedicate your baby to God’s service.
- Prophesy Over the Baby: Speak to their future, their health, their character, and their destiny while they are still in the cradle.
- Share the Wonder: When people ask how it went, tell them! Your testimony is how others will find their own "Supernatural Childbirth."
The Declaration
"Lord, I dedicate this child to You. They will serve You and walk in Your peace all the days of their lives. I pass down the blessing of faith and supernatural living. Thank You, Father, for the miracle of life!"PART 5: THE 31-DAY SUPERNATURAL CONFESSIONAL
