The mission of His Birthing Assistant is to provide assistance through the deliverance ministry to encourage, equip, and edify, individuals for the work of Christian ministry. Through the use of written materials, lectures, teaching, retreats, and coaching, His Birthing Assistant seeks to assist others with the birthing of spiritual births and gifts, while providing a space for the nurturing and discipling of spiritual midwives.
I’m glad you asked! According to Webster’s dictionary, a midwife is one that helps to produce or bring forth something. With this definition in mind, anyone in the kingdom of God—male or female—can be a spiritual midwife. “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus,” Galatians 3:28. There are definite parallels between a spiritual midwife and the role of a midwife who assists with childbirth in the natural realm.
The Midwife Factor is part of the deliverance ministry. When applied and operating in one's sphere of influence allows life and delivers multiplication for Kingdom growth and God's glory (see Exodus 1:17, HCSB).
A spiritual midwife is one that assists in the birthing of spiritual babies that God has individually or collectively caused to be. Who discerns the gifts, talents, abilities, passions, visions, etc., that God has placed in individuals.
His Birthing Assistant is one who is willing to help birth, deliver, and bring forth the things of God from individuals.
So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God created He him; male and female He created them. And God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it (Gen.1:27, 28).
Spiritual midwives are both male and female, with the assignment to assist with the deliverance of spiritual births. They work to assist and provide a healthy birthing atmosphere before, during, and even after the birth. The role of a spiritual midwife is to encourage, enlighten, exhort, edify, warn, guide, direct, comfort and console the birther as well as collect any equipment necessary for the birthing process.
