He has learned the art of mimicry quite well! I am not sure if it is anointed or learned behavior! It is, however, the Word of God and that is always good seed, regardless the hand that sows it!

I would much rather have my child mimic a preacher instead of a gangsta rapper! Can you say "Yeah!"

One of our favorite pastimes as kids when I was growing up was to mimic different preachers and singers of Pentecost. We would do this at the supper table, which was our daily family time. We had a lot of fun. All three of my brothers later became preachers. They could do whole sermons for the most part word for word.

Me and my siblings used to have almost all of the kids in the neighborhood over to our yard to have church by our fort. I would get up to preach or testify and my sisters would start shouting. The neighborhood kids thought it was cool, so they shouted too!

I wonder what those kids thought when they went to their own churches with their parents and it was nothing like our backyard church!

LOL, that must have been a blast. Those were the good ole days. I love to when I get a chance to watch kids play church. One day, in my grandparents backyard, our playing church turned a little serious and my brother was laying in the field with stammering lips. He almost received the Holy Ghost. And, we were just playing but HE got serious. Kids sometimes play church with more fervor than adults have church. It gets really interesting if you get a chance to watch when they don't think anyone is around.

I was thinking the same thing.

When I was taking Social Work classes, we were concentrating on adolescent development both physically and mentally. We had to have a project to present to the class so I did my rendition of "Oprah", and had 10 of the young people from the Christian School there [combination of UPCI, ALJC, and non-church goers]. I asked them questions about who and what they wanted to be, where they saw themselves in 5 years. Most were right on target.

The one my professor was most interested in was a local Pastor's son. He knew he wanted to be a preacher and had already spoke several times, He may have been 13 years old. My professor thought him very mature and curious to see if he was just what he projected to be...he is exactly as he said he would be.

The mantle is passed down, and with the mantle comes the anointing. There are some who mimic until it becomes part of them, but I'd say God calls us while we are children and we only have to mature and be developed.

Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. Childhood and adolescence is an American tradition, but in other countries they go from infancy to adulthood without the adolescent stage.
