Adoption
"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, 'Abba, Father.'" (Romans 8:15 NET Bible)
"So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces of the world. But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights. And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls 'Abba! Father!' So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are also an heir through God." (Galatians 4:3-7 NET Bible)
"For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and unblemished in his sight in love. He did this by predestining us to adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will – to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son." (Ephesians 1:4-6 NET Bible)
Adopt a B Child in Prayer & Intercession
Our adoption as sons and daughters of the God of the Universe is a marvelous wonder that we will probably spend the rest of eternity exploring. Praise God for such a loving God as ours who has adopted us as his children! Our praise should not be limited to what our mouths can utter or what our fingers can type. A key part of our new role as an adopted son or daugher of the King of Kings is to bring this marvelous adoption to those throughout the world that have been orphaned or estranged from God because of sin.
Generation after generation of B peole have lived and died never knowing about the gift of being adopted as God's child. Today the next generation of B people are slowly learning about God's adoption, but Satan does not easily relinquish his hold on these B children. He has blinded their forefathers for generations and wants to blind them as well. These B children are in need of people from the family of God to adopt them in prayer to interceed on their behalf so that they can, by God's power, see God for how beautiful He is and receive adoption as sons and daughters of God. There are thousands of B children that have no one praying for them. Will you consider adopting a B child to pray for them? Adopt one or several B children as a grandparent praying for a grandchild; or as a parent praying for a child; or even as a brother or sister praying for a sibling.
Instructions
Prayerfuly look through the below pictures and ask God what child He would have you pray for. Next commit to praying for that child(ren) on a regular basis. If it is helpful you can print their picture and save it in your prayer journal or Bible. Please encourage others (i.e. family, children, neighbors, Sunday School classes, AWANA classes, etc.) to pray for this next generation of B people.
Prayer Suggestions
