...Dear sister, my wife gave me this input for you:<br /><br />Keep in mind that we live by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). So whatever we do, we should do it by faith in Christ. <br /> <br />If you prefer to avoid sexual relations with your husband during the days of the month when you are fertile to avoid pregnancy, and he does not wish to, than you need to know that you must live by faith. According to what you see in the natural, you might think that you are very fertile, but God knows just how many children you can handle. He can close your womb when it’s time for you to have a break, and He can open it when it’s time for you to have more children. You can talk to Him about it and work with Him to determine the number of children you have. If you’re feeling overwhelmed physically, financially, etc., let God know. He is able to provide all that you need. In other words, God wants you to be intimately communing with Him during your child-bearing years and the years beyond. He wants to reveal Himself to you through them.<br /> <br />It is interesting to note in Genesis 29:31-30:24 how God was involved in opening and closing the wombs of Leah and Rachel and how He knew their situation (29:31) and listened to them (30:17and 22). There is also the well-known story of Hannah (1 Samuel 1) whose womb the Lord had closed (v. 5) and whose womb the Lord opened (vv. 19-20). Recently, I noted how the only children Noah and his wife had during their long life span were the three they had after Noah was five hundred years old (Gen. 5:32). Furthermore, Noah’s sons and their wives had no children before or during the time they were in the ark. This appears to be evidence of God’s intervention.Lenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499007462067501353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993999907085606032.post-42377030227155165252017-01-09T10:33:15.733-08:002017-01-09T10:33:15.733-08:00You're welcome.

That is not necessary to avoid fertile periods. While the natural planning method is inconvenient and does limit a couple, I do not believe it is quite as limiting as you have stated.<br /><br />As for convincing your spouse that would be up to the Holy Spirit, but I understand it can make things difficult if you are not in agreement.<br /><br />And I do think condoms are the property of satan, but as for collecting women's blood, I cannot see how that is so. <br /><br />Anyway, may the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ and of God our Father be yours in abundance.

Len for a wonderful compialation, am ...Thanks Pas. Len for a wonderful compialation, am indeed convinced that it a sin.<br />My question is the way out.<br />After using a form of artificial contraceptive for a long time, suddenly you see this as a sin, your spouse is yet not convinced ( can 2 walk together except if they agree?) And after studying much on natural family planning, I discovered a couple can only meet about 7 to 10 days in a month that is about 4 to 5 days after mentrual period and just some days before mentrual periods in a regular monthly cycle. If the period is not regular, calculation might be wrong and I also found out that the sperm can stay about 48 to 72 hours in the female reproductive organ before it dies, so a person need to give about 3 days gap before ovulation day and after for proper calculation.<br />These are what I found out which is really a big challange for me.<br />Meaning there many days in a month a partner will be denied of meeting the partner even when he or she is not fasting or praying.<br />These are my issues of which I have being praying that God should help me.<br />Am a mother of 3 children and very fertile by Gods Grace Lol, and I dont want to go to hell.<br />Am actually praying for God to convince my husband that it is a sin and to give us self cotrol on this matter. Please join me in prayers.<br />I thought condom was the safest, of which I have never used any other AC. Of course I now know is not of God, because I had 2 revelations that is a satanic ppty, one of them the enemy was using it as a satanic bag to collect semen and the blood from the woman to a satanic bank and other was the enemy was using it as a tool to spread diseases even the new ones in a pack.Gods own babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14410431919559947015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993999907085606032.post-8349331617005225182015-08-05T11:40:15.312-07:002015-08-05T11:40:15.312-07:00Announcing Doulos Training School, opening on Sept...Announcing Doulos Training School, opening on September 1 for all who are interested in online distance education in discipleship!

It was uncertain whether the expression "family planning" in the transcript referred only to artificial contraception or if it also includes Natural Family Planning (NFP) as defined in this article. <br /><br />By the grace of God, a friend of mine spoke by phone to brother Gabriel today, who explained to him that Natural Family Planing (NFP) is not a sin, as the Lord is referring to the artificial family planning. He said "If the couples are having too many children, they can adopt the calender natural method."<br /><br />I apologize for any confusion that was caused by this in the article for a few days during which I had incorrectly indicated that NFP was a sin. Please pass this important info on to anyone you know who may have read the article already, in order to clear up any confusion.

I'm glad this article has helped you to overcome worry and depression about your future. To your question, no it is not natural for a man to spill his seed, as that is not what God intended; it is the great wickedness for which God struck Onan dead (Gen 38:9-10).

Children get sick and die, some become agents of darkness (prostitutes, robbers etc) because of suffering. But now I understand that there is natural contraception. <br />Your testimony really moved me! I've allowed the devil to make me worried and depressed about my future and it's affecting my husband to be! Thank you so much for sharing and God bless you!<br />Lastly, about the natural contraception, is it also natural for a man to ejaculate outside during intercourse?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785575914850419664noreply@blogger.com
