No Mention Of Being Born With A Caul In The Bible, However, There Were Special, Gifted And Chosen People Within Scripture

By Latoya @latoyallawrence

I enjoy reading my bible. I like reading the bible now even more than I did when I was younger. The bible doesn’t mention anything about cauls as a sign of being special or having any supernatural/spiritual gift, yet there definitely were quite a few who communicated with God, had visions and prophetic dreams.

Since the caul denotation is not in the bible and is not biblical some Christians would consider it derived from a pagan source of origin. I was told when I was younger by someone who was ignorant (a woman I use to have bible study with when I was eighteen) that gifts that I had were of or from the devil which was ridiculous. Yes, the devil does give certain people mystical abilities through familiar spirits but this is not the case for everyone. Some believe that only when the Holy Spirit comes to unite with one are we able to receive gifts from God.

I know for a fact that God will use his spirit early on to guide and to lead us into further seeking and understanding. Some don’t even believe that the baptismal or christening of a baby is significant which is not true. I was christening at four months old and it was a blessing in which God had his hand over my life from the beginning.

Nevertheless, one being born or bestowed with certain spiritual gifts from God is a truth and reality and Moses is a great example.

She saw that he was a special baby and kept him hidden for three months. Exodus 2:2

It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command. Hebrews 11:23

We are suppose to use our gifts to glorify god
