A friend of mine recommended “Supernatural Childbirth,” a book by Jackie Mize, weeks after our first baby’s birth announcement. The book is primarily about experiencing pain-free childbirth through faith. After reading it, I wrote down my prayer for Caleb’s delivery and together with my husband, prayed every night declaring my supernatural childbirth according to God’s will. I strongly believed and had the assurance in my heart that God would grant me what I was praying for.
So it was, a few weeks before my due date, I began dilating. Apparently, I was having slight contractions but never felt pain. I knew in my heart that I would not feel any pain, so I prayed for my water to break in order for us to know when Caleb was coming. And exactly how I had been declaring for months, my water broke on Friday morning, July 22nd. Off we went to the hospital with the biggest smile on our faces because we knew we were going to meet our baby.
Everything was going smoothly until after a few hours, I was no longer dilating. The doctor waited a couple of hours, however my body began to somehow close up and my temperature rose which led to a fever. The baby’s heartbeat began to race and the doctor said that for the sake of my health and the baby’s well-being, they had to proceed with a C-section. After hearing those words, I did not understand why that was happening. I felt sad and cried because I thought my body was failing me. Immediately, JuanPe and I began to pray and worship God. Our parents also interceded for God’s will to be done. Although, in that instance I did not understand, I placed my trust in God and proceeded with the C-section. During the surgery the doctor realized that Caleb’s head was positioned in a way that would have been difficult for him to pass through the birth canal and his life and mine could have been in danger. I knew in that moment that God is faithfully amazing and He sees beyond what we can see! All along I prayed for how I wanted Caleb to come into this world but I always prayed for God’s will to be done and not my own. I am grateful to God because Caleb is 100% healthy and it sure was a supernatural delivery since I did not experience any pain none whatsoever.
If you’re a mommy-to-be or wish to be a mother someday, write out your declaration of faith and pray for your supernatural childbirth specific to your heart’s desire and inlined with God’s will.
Check out part of what I prayed for daily up until Caleb’s birth:
Galatians 3.13 “Christ has redeemed [Joceline] from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us!”
Isaiah 53.5 ” The chastisement for [JuanPe & Joceline’s] peace was upon Him, And by His stripes [Joceline is] healed.”
