1. Welcome everyone to this channel and to this video. Hello guys,
this is Vlad and Lana here. We are overwhelmed with the amount of response that we received
since our last video. We have been praying to have a child and it's finally here, okay,
we are pregnant and it's 13 weeks now and if you haven't seen it, we have in the link below where
you can go and see about how we waited for 13 years for this miracle. A lot of you shouted,
cried, prayed and rejoiced with us and to God be the glory. Yes and we are so thankful for each one
of you guys who prayed for us and today we are so excited because today is the day that we're
going to be announcing the gender of the baby. Come on somebody. A lot of people are asking us
and I cannot wait to share with you guys. It's so exciting for us and so, you're dressed in pink.
I'm dressed in blue. So what do you guys think? Your guesses? Girl or a boy? Well, drop it in
the chat what you think. Drop it in the comments below on what you think the gender of the baby is
going to be but let's actually go straight into the gender reveal party that my beautiful wife
along with other people have organized and take a look at what is going to be the gender of our
baby.
Well, you saw the gender of the baby and that is going to be baby boy. We are super excited
and super pumped and in fact, we knew about this, 9 years ago. I know huh. We knew from
the beginning that it's going to be a baby boy. In fact the scripture that we have used and the
name of the baby is going to be 1 Samuel 1:20. So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah
conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him
from the Lord.” And yeah I loved always the name Samuel and I remember coming up to you and like,
what do you think about that and we kind of decided that, this is going to be the name
of our child and I remember one of the prophets stayed in our home and he prayed for us before
he left and he said that I see a baby boy, a child in your house and it's going to be like in a story
of Samuel and he kept talking about that story and I was like shocked because that's exactly
the name we already chose a long time ago before he even mentioned that. So to me that was like,
it's God's thing, God's doing, yeah. Interestingly all the prophetic words we received about
our child were always about a boy. Yes, it's true. Yeah, it was never about a girl. Yeah,
I always imagined ourselves to be parents of a boy and I felt like that was already instilled in me
by the Lord and yeah, you know interestingly as I was reading Luke chapter 1 in the year 2019, in
the year 2020, in the year 2022, every September I would come across Luke in my Bible reading,
even during my Bible reading I would mark it, that particular chapter and I don't believe in you know
misapplying the scriptures but I believe the Lord can speak through the scriptures to our specific
situations and I will just go through a few of these verses because they really ministered to me,
all of those years and now this year in September 2023, us actually having that baby already is so
incredible. Luke 1:13 and it says the following, But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid,
Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son,
and you shall name him John. Yeah I felt that God speaking to Zacharias and saying, Don't be afraid,
for your prayer has been heard and it's been years since he prayed that prayer and that's the first
thing that when I would read this, every year, every September, yeah, I would get to this part,
Don't be afraid only believe. Don't be afraid, God has heard your prayer. The second thing that
I would see in that verse, they would like jump off and speak to me every time and that is your
wife will bear you a son. The idea that it won't be adopted though, we're not against adoption.
I think it's an incredible thing. The people that have a desire for that is beautiful but just this
verse really spoke volume to me that your wife will bear you and there was a specific thing here,
a son and you shall call his name. So before he was conceived, you shall call his name meaning,
God's going to give you the name and for me, I felt like it's going to have to be Samuel but the
verse 14 and you guys going to love the verse 14, 'And you will have joy and gladness, and many will
rejoice at his birth.' And I felt like the third thing is that you will have joy. So many people
tell me this, when you get a baby, you will have a lot of problems. You will have sleepless nights
and to be honest with you, I know that now because of everybody who's telling me that and but the
promise I have in God's word is that you will have joy. Yes, not diapers. Not that we're not going to
have diapers, not you know crying and all of that but you will have joy and I love that and number
four and that is, Many will rejoice at his birth. Now in here I believe the symbolic, the prophetic
picture was that many people will rejoice because John was born but I think in our case you know
almost when we announced that video, we saw so many people rejoice. Yes, because we were pregnant
and so to me, it was just such a prophetic picture of that and then verse 15 and verse 16,
'For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink.
He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb'. And verse 16,
'And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God' and this is the fifth thing
that I felt and I won't mention everything but these are just the things that we feel
at liberty to share today and that is I almost felt that the Lord was saying that this child,
God wants to use to bring His children to Him and I really receive that and that's going to
be something I'm going to be praying over him and believing that the Lord is going to use this child
to bring other children to Him. So these are just some prophetic words that we received, scriptural
insights that we've received in the direction and in prayer and you know what was incredible
is last few weeks you started to feel the kicks now, yes. Yes, it's crazy. How did that make you
feel? Weird. Weird slash really interesting and joyful too that something is... someone is alive
in my stomach and already kicking. It's very interesting feeling. Yeah. I can't believe how
people can advocate after hearing the heartbeat, seeing the movement of a baby can still just call
it a clump of cells, just an embryo, just a you know and Hey this is not the real thing, when
this human being already kicks and grows and has a heartbeat and you know sucks on its thumb already
and stretches his legs and you could kind of see that and those pictures and to call that not a
human being but to call that a clump of cells that we can just exterminate. I can imagine how crazy
you have to be in a world that sees life you know bacteria on Mars and calls that life and then you
know we see real life that God is developing and call that not life you know protect dolphins but
kill babies and so I mean it's just crazy how you cannot be pro life when you hear the heartbeat
and so it's incredible journey for us. Keep us in prayer. So this video is kind of like our YouTube
gender reveal #babyshower as well. Thank you guys each and every one of you for praying supporting.
Let us know in the comments below your thoughts. For those of you who maybe have sons and we're
both of us already reading books and raising boys. So I am on my second book cuz I just want to also
be equipped as a father and for those of you who have tips or advice, Hey drop that in the comments
below as well as those of you who's like, Hey I want to participate in your baby shower. We have
a link below that you can participate in that if you want to bless this baby but most importantly,
we appreciate your guys' prayers and support, kind words and just sending those things in
our direction, it means a lot and we can't wait for our baby Samuel to arrive into this world.
It's very exciting and a little bit nervous. You think we should do a live stream when you
give birth. No way, okay, all right but anyways thank you guys for watching this video. We really
appreciate you and thank you for sharing our joy with us as well. Amen. We'll see you next time.
