Our Guests Jonatan and Jennifer Toledo
Sid: We want everyone everywhere to have the compassion of Jesus for a love starved hurting broken world. I have on the telephone Jennifer Toledo who had a vision, yet more than a vision where she was taken to heaven and saw a place called “The Weeping Room.” Where she was too fat to be a part of it, not fat from a physical viewpoint, but fat from self, self-ministry, self-family, self-finances, self-business, self, self, self, self… then she spent long periods of time in this weeping room with the Lord and saw the compassion of the Lord; she was transformed so that today she walks in supernatural strategy. Jennifer and you and your husband Jonatan are the heads of Global Childrens Movement and you’re based in Foley, Alabama, that’s Jennifer and Jonatan Toledo. Jennifer briefly what steps could someone take in addition to listening to your teaching on “The Weeping Room,” what practical steps could someone take to walk into this supernatural compassion?
Jennifer: I think what we need to do is spend time waiting on the Lord letting Him speak his promises to us, letting Him speak His heart to us. For some of us it is hard to listen to God, you know it’s easy to talk but hard to listen. He loves to speak so letting Him speak to us and just listening and just surrendering asking “What’s in my life that I’m holding onto, and what have I not fully surrendered?”
Sid: Give me a couple of examples that might come to mind that someone might not even realize is something they should surrender. What might that mean?
Jennifer: Maybe like your timetable for your life you think this should happen at a certain time, or you’ve paid your dues in this and you think that God should do this or whatever. Surrenduring your time, surrendering your finances…
Sid: In other words, I believe God is going to do this thing in my ministry, that He is going to give me my promotion, and it hasn’t happened and you’re doing everything possible to make it happen.
Jennifer: Yep, and that’s not how the kingdom works, you know. So fully surrendering just saying “God I don’t care if I never minister, I don’t care whatever. I just want You I want You, I just fully want You in whatever You have for me.” So your own ideas you know just surrendering and saying “God is there anything in me that I haven’t surrendered?” Letting Him speak to you, and letting Him love on you because you can’t come into that place of intimate friendship with God unless you first understand how much He loves you. So we’ve got to get out of the servant mindset, we’ve got to start thinking as sons and daughters, and as a bride that we are. So as we spend time just letting Him speak out over us and speak promises over us, and we surrender, He begins to move us into that place.
Sid: Okay, you do a teaching on your CD titled “The Weeping Room” called “What Does it Mean to be a Child Today?” It will absolutely break the heart of those that are listening, but just briefly explain what that means to be a child today.
Jennifer: You know for most of us when we think we toss around the term “Well what does it mean to be a child?” You know we think fun, we think playing, no work, you know that’s kind of our mindset of what we think about what it means to be a child. Actually that’s a very unrealistic picture because reality is that right now on the earth the most exploited, the most injustice you could find on the earth happens to children. Most people don’t realize but there’s over 6 billion people on the earth right now, a massive amount of people on the earth; more people the world has ever seen all at one time, and over half Sid, over half of the earth’s population is under the age of 15. The majority of who is out there are children. Now if you start looking at the majority of who is out there, these children, two-thirds, two out of three live in poverty.
Sid: We in America, especially Christians, are saying “God show me something to do.” He’s saying “Haven’t you just heard what Jennifer said?” Go ahead.
Jennifer: [Laughing] Open your eyes it’s all around us. You don’t have to be in Africa or India to see poverty, it is in every single city in America, it is everywhere it is all around us there’s poverty… The children are the most effected, but you see children are just being ravaged. I just want to say honestly I really believe that we are in a season where God is raising up a generation and He’s raising up a generation of delivers, and generation who knows Him and loves Him, and the enemy is so angry. Just like he tried to do in Moses’ generation, just like he tried to do in Jesus’ generation he’s trying to wipe out a generation. We’re seeing it, we’re seeing…
Sid: Listen in the United States there calling young people in the United States the lost generation because such a small percentage of them are born again. It’s not like there parent’s, it’s not there parent’s generation it’s a new generation. This is the future of America
Jennifer: Yes. So we’re seeing the enemy he is not a fool, and he’s been trying to target an youth. We’re seeing everything, we’re seeing AIDS, you know like never before, see plagues. I mean we’re seeing right now just right now on the earth 20 million people living with AIDS. I mean that results in 13 million orphans who don’t have parents because of AIDS, I mean that’s just one disease. If you think about how many children that live on the streets, there’s 100 million children forced to live on the streets.
Sid: Hmm.
Jennifer: I mean we can’t even comprehend that, children living on the streets? I mean being exploited, being abused, being beaten…
Sid: I’ve been reading about parents that literally are selling their children into slavery because they need the money.
Jennifer: Yes. It’s so sad we see this it’s bonded labor, slave labor, where parent’s in such poverty are forced to, you know, just to sell a child off to slavery because they need money they can’t feed the rest of their kids. So these kids are chained to their workstations where they’ll spend the rest of their life working. We’re seeing, you know even right now most people don’t realize because we have such abundance here, we normally don’t go without in North America, but 17 million children will starve to death this year…
Sid: Not just hungry but starve to death.
Jennifer: Starve to death, 17 more million children will have starved to death this year, dead.
Sid: Of course I’ve been watching unfortunately things about the sexual exploitation of children as the world is getting darker and darker. I mean it is so unbelievable what the statistics and the information you have. In reference to the sexual exploitation, you said something like 10 million children are living in the sex industry?
Jennifer: Ten million children and that’s a conservative figure because so many go unreported, obviously. That includes, you know, child prostitution, pornography, sex trade tourism, it’s disgusting but the number one choice in the world today for sex is a child. That’s the world we are living in.
Sid: You’re talking about many children are being brought into Canada, and the United States 8 or 9 years of age and put into brothels, at the disposal of wealthy businessmen?
Jennifer: Yep and we just think “That’s absurd! That just sounds so absurd! Like that doesn’t happen in our country!” It does there’s a whole underground movement, you know, the authorities are aware of this. I mean there’s a huge underground movement where children, little boys and little girls are brought in, smuggled in, and literally sold, sold into prostitution. I mean it’s just disgusting, it’s horrible! It’s not just we got to have this mindset “It must just be these, you know, dirty street people that are involved in this.” No I mean it’s huge, it’s like doctors, lawyers, businessmen that are a part of this. It just so breaks the heart of God.
Sid: What about the children victimized by war?
Jennifer: You know we’re seeing in several countries children that are forced into becoming a soldier, they’re forced to fight. They’re used to go before the armies and check for landmines, you know they send the kids out first. They’re using children as human shields, they’re forcing kids to become killing machines, they’ll drug them, they’ll force them to do these horrible acts then force them to work with them. I mean it’s absolutely horrible! In fact, 70% of all known refugees in the world right now are children, they’re under the age of 15; totally victimized by war. We’re seeing children brutally slaughtered in wars. One statistic that continues to blow me a way is up through World War 2 90% of all fatalities in war were professional soldiers. You know that’s what we kind of normally think.
Sid: Right.
Jennifer: Since World War 2 90% of all casualties of war are now women and children.
Sid: Ninety percent?
Jennifer: Ninety percent. So the most victimized people group in the world are children. Sadly, they’re the most helpless, they’re the ones who can’t defend themselves, they’re the ones who can’t, you know, who don’t have the authority to go to the government, or whatever. That’s why it’s our job as God’s people to cry out for them, and to raise our voice for them. To partner with the heart of Christ because Jesus feels, Jesus sees, Jesus hears it all.
Sid: What about the young girls that are missing from the world’s population?
Jennifer: This is unbelievable, like when I heard this statistic I mean I just wept because I can’ even imagine. Sid in the last 10 years there have been 60 to 100 million girls that have simply gone missing off the earth’s population, there’s no record. They can’t find what happened to them, it’s gender based feticide and fantasied, malnutrition, neglect, SRA victims, you know satanic ritualistic abuse, where they’ll sacrifice these young girls; 60 to 100 million that have been just wiped off the earth that nobody knows what’s happened to them, unbelievable.
Sid: Here we in America we are living in a bubble. I mean we have it so good here, but to much is given, much is required.
Jennifer: Yeah. I know when sometimes when people hear these statistics they think “What can I do? I’m just one person, what can I do?” Reality is, and that’s why I wanted to share this vision about the strategy room. There is a place and we can one person can partner with heaven and bring transformation to these areas. That’s how the kingdom works God will always use one simple person who partners with Him. David, little David, to take down Goliath. We look at sex trade tourism…
Sid: Oops we’re out of time.
