Lesson Six

Letting Go and Naming your Baby



Many questions will come to mind as you complete this lesson.   

*Was it really a life?
*Where is my baby now?  
*How will I face my child in heaven?  
*What name should I give my baby?
*When does life begin?

Isaiah 46:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of
Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

Jeremiah 1:4-5   King James Version (KJV)
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth
out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations.

Psalm 139:13-16   King James Version (KJV)
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's
womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are
thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all
my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet
there was none of them.

Galatians 1:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and
called me by his grace,
Luke 1:41   King James Version (KJV)
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the
babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

When did your unborn baby’s life begin?   Some may have asked the
question, “Where is my baby now?”

Hearing testimonies of people that have died and come back to earth
to tell us the story, has impacted my life.  Dr. Gary Wood is one
individual that I know personally and I have read his story in a book
called A Place Called Heaven.   He tells of His encounter.   “We
entered into a room that was like a nursery. I saw what looked like big
globs of flesh heaped into mounds. That’s the only way I know how to
describe it – just big globs of flesh that looked like mounds of clay.  
There was an angel with each one.  ‘What is that?’ I asked my friend.  
He replied ‘That is aborted babies from the earth below.  An angel has
been assigned to each one who will fashion and form then into the
child God intended them to be.’”  Keep in mind that this happened in
1966. There were no statistics kept on number of abortions performed
during that time. Statistics now show that 1.5 million to 2 million
babies are being aborted every year in America alone.  

I have read other stories from different authors and each one tells of
the babies that have been miscarried or aborted.   So, I personally
believe that one day we will see our babies again in heaven.  God
thinks they are important.   

I have read many testimonies of people who have had visions of
heaven and have seen the baby they aborted.   One night as I was
praying, the Lord gave me a vision of Him holding my child.  In my
vision, my baby was a beautiful little girl.   So with much prayer I
named her Melissa.   After my Mother passed away, the Lord gave me
another vision of my Mother playing with a group of children.  When I
asked the Lord who they were, he told me it was her grandchildren
she never saw.   What joy came through my heart to know that in
heaven, we will meet again!    

So I challenge you to pray and ask God to give you a vision of your
child. Sometimes it doesn’t happen right away.   Sometimes you will
just have a peace in your heart.

Counter

aborted babies a name. A name can bring order to the chaos of these
emotions from the abortion, and often the flood gates are opened for
Many women experience great emotional release in giving their years
of unexpressed grief to be released.   

Keep in mind, names have meanings.  You might want to look up the
name on the internet and find out the true meaning of this name.  Let
your heart speak to you when you do this.

After you name your baby take the time to write a letter to your baby
and let your heart speak.   Below is a sample letter you can use this
one or make one of your own.
If you had more than one abortion, write a letter to each child.
