First you pray
before you wed
before you choose
and before all things
especially conception
you pray for your wife
and your child
and your family
for all that is of them
pertaining to them
forever
you feed the womb well, especially
before the conception
you feed the child well
with the breast milk as intended
see breast feeding from those who believe therein
not from those who sell canned milk for profit
you feed the body and soul as well
play music, good music with repeating patterns of rhythm
you say and think good things
to your wife and to your baby
you provide butter and honey (Isaiah 7:15)
for the eye, the mind, body and soul
Matthew 4:4
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God
John 6:63 teaches us the word of God is Spirit and Life
Hebrews 4:12 confirms the life in the word of God and the power
from earliest age
you hold the baby and play and love
lay the baby on your chest
snuggle the babe
your body strengthens and comforts the babe
bio-magnetics at work here and a whole lot more
you touch, you stroke, you caress, and sooth
lift, rock, and comfort
delight in your baby
if it is a boy
have him circumcised on the eighth day
not before, and not after
he needs a time of pure comfort after birth
before such an ordeal
and have a godly man do it
with prayer
not the day of his birth, that is just a double trauma
avoid that like the plague
and for either a boy or a girl
obey the scripture to have them salted
the best I can see is this soft rock salt kosher salt
moistened with water is like a gentle friction stimulus to the central nervous system, stimulating it into fine definition and detail, gaining future agility and coordination of all the nerves and muscles that far excell those who do not have this procedure done for them
see salted in scripture Ezekiel 16:4
1. cutting the navel
2. washed in water to supple him/her, difference between flexible with freedom from pain and tight with stiffness and pain.
3. salted- the difference between a nimble and a clod
4. swaddled (wrapped up snug in warm covering to lessen the strain on body and allow the strength to be used for growth rather than maintenance, the difference between a weakly and a strong baby)
Please take heed to the salting and the swaddling,
it took thirty years plus for this to sink into my dense mind
and give the light of this simple revelation for well being.
ignore it to the detriment of the baby
or give heed to the glory of the LORD for His message
so much revealed in one scripture
yet , like the clean sheets ignored by physicians for centuries, it can change lives by washing them seven times in lye and hanging them out to dry each time in sunlight, the seven cycles of washing and drying complete the purification of the sheets, but it was ignored and people died
so the steps in ezekiel can help a baby grow better and be more for all its life, but people have igored and dispised the word of God, thinking they knew more in their vain imaganations.
roll the ball with your baby, develop his hand and eye cooperation, play the music to your baby, sing a song, and make merry,
let the baby crawl for this develops the left-right spinal coordination, and is often prescribed in later life for children who have difficulty coordinating, whether walking, running, or talking, or thinking....
let the babe be accusstomed to hearing your voice with the word of God, read the scripture aloud before you think the babe can understand, for the form of the words take root even then, and give the story of the explanation
make many stories of good and beauty and victory
with joy and peace and happiness as the fruit of those stories (Isaiah 7:15)
