The shame is—so many Believers keep falling for this same
lie over and over.
The world’s job is to live as hellish and sinful life as it
can, dragging with it as many as it can, and it doesn’t seem to be that hard anymore.
I used to be a breastfeeding counselor at a major teaching
hospital, and received a lot of training over the years. At one point I was
working on the goal to become a Lactation Consultant. I changed my mind after
realizing how much the medical field had made something that was so natural—so
complicated—just for monies sake. I was quite close, when I found out I would
need to purchase, “Malpractice Insurance”. That was the end for me. I’m sure
the midwives and wet nurses of old would surely have a good laugh on that one.
But there is one thing I learned in all of it and that is
God designed breast milk to have everything it needs as a provision for babies.
A woman’s body knows when she gives birth prematurely, and signals
her breast milk to produce more fat, antibodies and nutrients. This did not
come about on its own—no—it’s part of God’s perfect design. Even women who live
in third world countries who don’t eat as well as some women in other
countries, still produce milk that is fortified and nutritious. Again God! And at
the time, many in the medical profession did not want to accept the research
one doctor had done, which stated women who were HIV positive could breastfeed
their babies and the baby would be build up an immunity to the HIV virus. I
believed that the first time I heard it at a conference, because I know that
God is awesome like that!
Breast milk is best without a doubt, so why is it that
American formula companies have been able to convince so many American women
and women in third world countries that formula is better when clearly it is
not? I’ve seen pictures of babies who should have and could have been
breastfed, yet died of starvation and malnutrition! Why? Because the mothers
had been duped into thinking their breast milk was not as good for their baby
as formula—formula they can’t afford. Yet, they still tried to raise their baby
on it, because they believed it to be better.
In many cases the water needed to add to the powder is dirty
and unsanitary, and secondly, they really couldn’t afford the formula so they
added more water trying to stretch it. The end result—a lengthy and slow death
of starvation, sickness or malnutrition.
Well, sisters—many of us seem to be buying into the lie also
that the “world” knows better than
God!
We are buying into the lies of places like ChristianMingle.com.
“You’re waiting for God and He is waiting for you to make the next move!” Horse
manure!!! Also I just recently read an article on statics about ChristianMingle
and 63% of the folks signed up on it, believe that sex before marriage is okay.
What’s wrong with doing things God’s way? How come we are so
easily fooled into believing He doesn’t know what He is doing?
Waiting on God and not having sex outside the confines of
marriage is most wonderful. For one, if you are a virgin, then you will miss
out on the heartache of being sexually intimate with someone who wanted only
one thing and eventually dumped you. Praise God! But also we are protected from
unwanted pregnancy, Sexually Transmitted Deceases (which are building up
resistances to many antibiotics), HIV and Aids! Just like breast milk—God knows
what He is doing!
The Bible instructs us not to get in debt, yet many of us
are drowning in debt. Why? Because we have listened to and believed the lies of
the world. The world says, “You really need to have a college education in
order to succeed today.” So, you go to college and rack up thousands in debt, only
to find a job you were qualified for before your debt and new degree. I read a
post on Facebook last week and a young woman was crying she was $50,000 in debt
for 2 years of college and no way was she going to be able to finish and get a
degree. She is not alone; many of God’s daughters are in the same predicament.
My sister has been in real estate for over 30 years, and the
past few years most of the houses she has helped people buy are short sales. (Selling a house for less
than the amount the current owner owes the mortgage company is called a “short
sale”.) That’s us, losing houses through short sales. But how did we get in this
predicament in the first place? By buying into the lies of the world as far as
what we need.
God created Everything! That translates into, “Is anything to hard for
God?” If He can design our bodies to respond to the needs of a preterm baby…tell
me, “What is it that you think God can’t handle?” No, Really!
Sisters it’s time to stop looking and listening to the world’s point of
view, and more to what God has to say about things. We have to stop trying to
fix things and make things happen! It will only lead to a lengthy
and slow death of starvation, sickness or malnutrition of the best we could be
in Christ Jesus.
And troubles we need not ever have.
Contrary to popular belief or the world’s point of view—God gets it right
every time! Read your Bibles, you will find the truth.
