Does the innocence of a child allow them to be more religious aware?

Question

I have a 4 year old grand niece who speaks of having conversations with Jesus while she is sleeping. She walked by the typical picture of Jesus we have and she stopped to say that He does not look like that at all. He smiles more and is more pretty than that.
Recently, my sister in law's sister became severly ill. She had blood cancer and was given very little time to live. The doctor decided to do a new and radical treatment on her basically telling her that the sucess rate is less that 1% in her case, but she had nothing to lose.
The little 4 year old whispered to my devastated sister in law not to worry because Jesus said her sister would live - it was not her time for heaven yet.
Against every possible odd, she survived with no trace of cancer to this day.
Are innocent children able to communicate and see things as they really are? Are adults contaminated with live's experiences.

Answer 1

Why do you think they believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy?

You call it innocence I call it naivety

Answer 2

Suffer the children to come unto me.

Unless you make yourself like these little ones, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Your niece can see in to the spirit world. Her gift may not last much longer. Most who can do this are Air signs - Libra, Gemini, and Aquarius. The gift may continue but let her be herself. If it continues, it's a 2 edged sword.

The problem is that as people grow up, adults tell kids they're imagining it when they see something strange. They should be saying I can't see what you can see. Adults don't want unusual children. The West is very spiritually unaware as well. It is more focused on celebrity magazines, interior decor, war and porn.

Angels prefer children to adults because they haven't been corrupted by the emotional and material world.

Your grand niece is probably one of the few who could identify "Jesus" in person but don't ask her to. That's the thing which should humble all those passionate preachers in their $5000 suits but it wouldn't.

Children of 4 years often drift in and out of the spirit world. It's where the "imaginary" friends comes from.

Yes, definitely.

Answer 3

Yes, it is a well known fact that children, in their innocence without earthly interference, can communicate with spirit. This often disappears at the onslaught of puberty and can return in later years if the person is open to it, and wished to use, the communication with spirit. I doubt that she was actually speaking to Jesus, but a spirit person who maybe dressed like him and looked like him. She is a very spiritually gifted child to be able to pick up messages as she did that ill lady would live despite all the odds. So many adults sweep this spirit communication children have under the carpet. I would encourage her and let her know that you believe what she is telling you. I have a feeling, if she wishes, she will grow up to be a very famous Medium. (I am a spiritualist medium myself). Hope this helps x

Answer 4

yes, but children are also able to see ghosts and fairies, and sometimes those don't fit into people's religions, so they tell the kids they are imagining. often adults discourage chidren's natural abilities to connect with things we don't understand. it sounds like this little girl is bringing something very positivie into your lives, so ask her questions about it and be open minded. i'm so glad that your sister in law's sister pulled through!
now, you also have to realize that she was told there was a less than 1% chance of survival, and that chance comes from research showing that some people will get through it, so she was in that lucky category, someone had to live for it to have any success rate at all, so why not think it was going to be her?

Answer 5

Yes! I believe that they can. My daughter when she was about 16 months would wake up every morning laughing and singing. (The way a very small child sings) And when I would ask her what was so funny, she would say " Oh mama, can't you hear the angels singing? I have heard many times when children are very in tune to things of the spirit world. I had a small child that was brought to my house, and she said that our home was a church where people learned about Jesus. She said that she saw Jesus here. Here mother was startled because she had never talked to her about Jesus and she had never been to a church.There was no explaination of the child having knowledge like that. We did have Bible studies at our home and we did teach a lot about Jesus in our home, but there was no way for that child to know that. I have heard amazing things come out of childrens mouths and they seem to have a close relationship with Jesus.

Answer 6

Wow...

Thats young for a child to know that they have had a real experience of Jesus. Maybe it jst seemed totally natural to them and they didn't question it.
The stats suggest that the normal age for a young person to be aware that they had their first "religious" experience is 8-13, although children can experience spiritual things all the way back into the womb

Answer 7

Children can be much more susceptible to supernatural intervention than adults. Probably because they are less jaded by life.

In his essay, 'The Painter of Modern Life', Charles Baudelaire made a very interesting observation. He said: “Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recovered at will”, meaning that children and geniuses are always susceptible to new things. He also said, “The child sees everything in a state of newness, he is always drunk”.

Children are very aware and awake to the world around them. It sounds, though, like you have a particularly gifted, spiritual child on your hands. Nurture it, she may have a real gift.

Blessed be.

Answer 8

Adults are infested with doubt. I think children are more open to the unexplainable, and God does tell us that we all must come to Him as a child. I think that's what makes it so hard to come to Him when you're older. I grew up in church and knew what God was all about all my life. Those who never experience God's power first hand don't have the ability to believe in the unseen and incomprehensible. Do I think children are more religious? Fortunately no, they aren't. They're just more open, less jaded.

Answer 9

yeppo..Well in my opinion!
My younger sister is 7... In the past she has impacted so many more people, because she just said it like it is! The innocence, the truth!
When people see it, they know its the truth.. The young ones may not understand why, but they tell the truth!
God can use them so freely because they haven't been corrupted (like you said!) They haven't learned all the truths of this world, they haven't had to put up with stress, they haven't battled, they haven't been exposed.. I Think its amazing, and i will do all i can to keep them innocent and clean before God!

Answer 10

I think it is because children are more open and trusting of new concepts and they are not judgemental or narrow-minded like adults.

What a great story and question. I'm glad your sister-in-law got the all clear.

God is in his heaven and he has his angels on earth working away tirelessly every day.
