No children are a blessing. They're supposed to be fruitful and multiply
We're supposed to be having lots of children according to Bible Psalm 127 says this low
Children are in heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward as arrows are in the hand of a mighty man
So our children of the youth happy is the man that had this quiver full of them
They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate
God says children are a blessing we should want to have our quiver full of them
Wait, it's a it's a joy and a blessing and a good thing to have children
So when you teach this and you say hey be fruitful
multiply and increase abundantly
Exceedingly have children don't use birth control. You don't need to be onan. You don't need to murder your own children
You don't need to sit there and abstain from a physical relationship from your spouse during the best parts of the month
No, the Bible is telling us to have children people will say this
Well, if you do that, you're just gonna get pregnant every nine months and that's not healthy
That's what they'll say won't they if you heard this opposition now personally
I don't think that that's healthy for women to have children every nine or ten months
And frankly, that's why God didn't design it that way
And that's why even though my wife and I use no birth control
We do not have children every nine or ten months. You say pastor Anderson. How do you do it?
How are you not having children every 11 12 months pastor Anderson? What's the deal?
What's your secret hosea chapter 1 verse 8 says this now when she had we know ruhama
She conceived and bear a son when did this woman conceive when she weaned why because breastfeeding?
Will stop you from getting pregnant simply breastfeeding your baby regularly and exclusively
Can help you prevent another pregnancy for six months. How does it work?
Well, if you breastfeed exclusively that means no formula or other baby foods the hormones in your body will naturally
Change to prevent ovulation the release of an egg. No egg. No pregnancy
This all happens naturally without a prescription or any medication breastfeeding is safe
Simple and convenient there are no negative side effects. There's nothing to buy
There are a lot of great health and nutrition benefits for your baby and for you breastfeeding is incredibly effective as birth control
So effective that for every 100 women who breastfeed continuously for the first six months after birth
Only one or two of them will get pregnant
It is 99% effective if you do it properly if you breastfeed on
Demand your child that will prevent you from getting pregnant again until it is naturally safe to do so look God
Designed it in his wisdom think about how smart God is
God designs it where a woman gives birth to a child and then breastfeeding that child
keeps her from getting pregnant again until her body has a chance to recover and then by the time the child is
older and grown and and you know able to eat a lot of solids and breastfeeding less and less
then the woman's fertility will come back and then she'll be able to have the next child and this is not a birth control method because
We were you know, we were gonna breastfeed the kid. Anyway, it's just called doing it normal
It's called just having your kid and feeding it the way God planned. So this isn't natural family planning
That's why I want to make sure there's no confusion here. This is not a birth control method
This is not using birth control and yet having children that are spaced normally and naturally and healthy
But this is why it doesn't work for most people because if you put your kid on a four-hour feeding schedule not gonna work
