Child Training Lecture 4
John Thiel
The parental role as you recall from our last studies and especially going by the statement from the book Ministry of Healing, showed that it is the mother’s role and the father with the mother to develop in the child the likeness of the divine. Does that suggest a nature and character like Jesus? Jesus came to earth to develop just such a character. Read the rest of this entry
03 A Child’s Sense of Self Importance
Child Training Lecture 3
John Thiel
The most important part of parenthood is to mould the character of the infant and the child as it grows. That deliberate work of the parent is affected by the adult world around the parent. The adult world that surrounds the child as it grows from infancy to youth and adulthood is that which affects its character as well. It is important that as we meet together regularly we are all conscious that we are moulding the character of the infants by our demeanour. What I want to centre our attention on is the character that we are trying to mould or trying to avoid from moulding incorrectly. Read the rest of this entry
02 Adults Speaking With One Mind
Child Training Lecture 2
Audio: Adults Speaking With One Mind
There is a very important principle in regards to child training. It’s not just speaking but it’s living the right thing together. As a little infant drifts into consciousness he is moulded by that which his conscious awareness picks up around him. That’s how an infant is moulded. It’s very unconscious as a tiny newborn but as it becomes conscious slowly but surely it begins picking up all the influences around it and those influences around it are moulding its personality. Therefore because we understand this we will be focusing on the visual, audio and the sensational culture that adults provide as the child is plunged into their culture. We well understand that if a baby grows up under the Asiatic influences, it becomes an Asiatic child.

01 This Present Fast Age
Child Training Lecture 1
John Thiel
We are commencing a set of lectures on training children. The time in which we are living and in which we are training our children is relative. These lectures are not a mere set of guidelines by another human lecturer. You can go to so many different lectures and read books on child training, but as you compare them, you will find a discordant note among them, as they don’t all agree. The parent is still left with a choice of which one is right and wrong. In these lectures we are researching a “Thus saith the Lord.” in reference to child training. We are seeking to come to terms with the truth and nothing else can deviate from a plain directive from God’s Word. God outlines that there is no other way. What God says it is; it is not barbarity.
