Health: Antibacterial Soaps Can Harm More Than Help

Yet another research team has come out with a report against the use of antibacterial soaps. South Korean scientists discovered that antibacterial soaps only kill more bacteria than regular soaps do, if the antibacterial soaps are exposed to the bacteria for hours.

When the antibacterial soaps and the regular soaps were both used for 30 seconds, both killed the same amount of bacteria.

The active ingredient in antibacterial soaps is a product called triclosan. Current law forbids soap manufacturers from using more than 0.3 percent of it in antibacterial soaps. The South Korean researchers found that such a weak percentage of triclosan means it does not kill more bacteria than regular soap and water. They discovered the percentage of triclosan needs to be much greater than 0.3 percent to kill substantially more bacteria than regular soap.

However, don't let that 0.3 percent of triclosan make you think it's safe. As it turns out, it could be harmful in a number of ways, according to years of research that has even gotten the attention of the Food and Drug Administration.

In fact, the FDA is considering banning triclosan unless soap manufacturers can prove that it's safe.

The FDA is concerned about reports that triclosan causes hormonal disruption. Equally concerning is the theory that triclosan contributes to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is because when we use antibacterial soaps, the residue goes down the drain and ultimately into our water supply. So we end up drinking the stuff. Plus, the triclosan-tainted water is used to grow the foods we eat.

Remember, we only want to kill some bacteria. Much of the bacteria in our bodies, especially in our gut, are good, and we need them to maintain a healthy immune system. If we do away with all the bacteria in our gut we can suffer all kinds of bowel trouble and more.

So as cold and flu season approaches, remember the best way to prevent against getting sick is to wash your hands often. But just use regular soap and water. Ideally, use warm water and lather for at least 20 seconds, or about the time it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice.

Family: Fighting for Your Child in Prayer

"The battle for our children's lives is waged on our knees. When we don't pray, it's like sitting on the sidelines watching our children in a war zone getting shot at from every angle. When we do pray, we're in the battle alongside them, appropriating God's power on their behalf."

She also says, "Whenever you pray for your child, do it as if you are interceding for his or her life—because that's exactly what you are doing. Remember that while God has a perfect plan for our children's lives, Satan has a plan for them too."1

We have an enemy who wishes to damage our children. He wants their hearts and their minds. We are in a battle for the lives of our children, and, as previously quoted, the battle can only be waged on our knees in prayer. We can't wish the enemy wouldn't bother them or hope he will go away. We can, however, defeat him by the power of the Word of the Living God.

Take a Stand

Read carefully and claim the mighty message of Ephesians 6:10–13:

"Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

We can defeat the enemy because we are enabled to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. We can put on the full armor of God in order to take our stand against any scheme the devil might attempt to throw at our children. This armor will allow us to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one, and it will allow us to defeat the enemy as we wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God!

Jesus defeated the enemy using the Word whenever Satan began to tempt or try to do Him physical harm (Matt. 4:4-11). His example should be our own, because the enemy's tactics are still at work today. Satan wishes to cause our children to fall morally and spiritually. He desires to poison the minds of our children so that they will be unable to be of service to the Living God.

As parents, grandparents, teachers, youth workers—and others with children in our spheres of influence—we must stand firm against the enemy and declare that he cannot have the minds of our children. We must fight for them in faithful prayer and teach them to fight for themselves! It is foolish and dangerous to ignore the schemes of Satan, for he is powerful and looking for every weakness.

This is a lifelong battle, and we must never let down our guard. We must diligently pray and teach our children how to pray the Word of God as a sure defense against the one who continually seeks to destroy. Only through the powerful Word can victory be won over our sinful natures and the enemy.

Prayers of Truth and Power

Here are some specific ways to pray that the minds of your children and grandchildren will be protected against the deceptions and schemes of Satan—and are instead saturated with the mind of Christ:

• Pray that your children's minds will be controlled by the Holy Spirit so that they can be pleasing to God and filled with life and peace. "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace, for the carnal mind is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be" (Rom. 8:5-7).

Sample Prayer: Holy God, give my children the mind of the Spirit, set upon what the Spirit desires so that their lives will be characterized by life and peace. Help them to fight against the sinful mind that the enemy would seek to place within them, so that they will live lives submitted completely to You. 

• Pray that your children will continually ask the Lord to examine their hearts and minds so that they will be able to walk in truth and purity. "Examine me, O Lord, and test me; try my affections and my heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth" (Ps. 26:2-3).
• Pray that your children will use their minds to understand and search out wisdom so that they can recognize the stupidity of wickedness. "And I turned my heart to know, and seek and search out wisdom in how things are and to experience wicked folly, even foolishness and madness" (Eccl. 7:25).
• Pray that their minds will be steadfast as they trust in the Lord. "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in God the Lord we have an everlasting rock" (Is. 26:3-4).
• Pray that your children will keep the greatness of the Lord's faithfulness always in their minds, so that they will have hope. "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed; His compassions do not fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness" (Lam. 3:21-23). 
• Pray that your children will always have the mind of Christ, "casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5).
• Pray that your children's minds will never be led astray and that they will always have sincere and pure devotion to Christ. "But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve through his trickery, so your minds might be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Cor. 11:3).
• Pray that your children's minds will be saturated with God's peace in every trial and difficult circumstance. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:7). read here
• Pray that your children will be drawn to value spiritual truths over earthly things. "Set your affection on things above, not on things on earth" (Col. 3:2).
• Pray that your children's minds will always be prepared for action, so that they can live out lives of holiness. "Therefore guard your minds, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children do not conduct yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance. But as He who has called you is holy, so be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy'" (1 Pet. 1:13-16).

Now that you have the Lord's perfect strategy for keeping the minds of your children protected from Satan, be diligent in your prayers. Be consistent in your teaching of the Word and in your personal study and devotion. Most of all, be a godly example for your children and grandchildren to follow as they mature in Christ

Health: 8 Habits That Make You Fat

Getting rid of unsightly bulges is not easy. Some people even wonder why, despite all their efforts, they still can not lose weight. This is simply because they are struggling to get rid of some bad habits. We list you below 8 bad habits to avoid:

1.Stress
Stress affects metabolism. In some cases, stressed people feel the urge to pounce on the food. Unfortunately, in this situation, foods are not necessarily good for health. The power is not the solution to your problems. Turn instead to an activity that can calm you like sports or meditation.

2. Skipping meals
Many people think that skipping meals is a tip that will help them to lose weight. If you take only one meal in the day, your body will take the nutrients it needs from this one meal. Which can be very dangerous for health.
Especially as the feeling of hunger will persist during the day. Try instead to split your meals into 5 snacks a day and stop eating after 20h.

3. Eating quickly
Eating quickly is very bad for health. After the meal, you will have the sensation of having a full stomach. However, this impression will disappear quickly after an hour or two and you’ll again want to eat. According to doctors, we should chew our food at least 30 or 40 times before swallowing.
Because the body needs at least half an hour to digest food and report that your stomach is full. Therefore, take the time to eat. You will eat less and lose weight more easily

4. Staying up late
Staying up late disrupts the functioning of hormones in the body. Mainly leptin (satiety hormone) and ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite).
Leptin signals to your brain that your stomach is full, while ghrelin stimulates hunger. This may be one reason that drives you to eat late at night. To avoid this, try to sleep at least seven hours per night.

5. Abusing Caffeine
Excessive consumption of caffeine stimulates the secretion of cortisol, known as the stress hormone. This hormone causes a desire to eat sweet or savory foods, according to the person. Therefore, you gain weight and put your health at risk. We must therefore consume caffeine in moderation.

6. Consuming processed foods
Processed foods are the major cause of obesity. They contain fats and sugar. Cookies, chips, cakes and pre-péparés frozen foods should be avoided. By following this advice, you will notice the difference.

7. Ignore thirst
Some people think that their body does not need water and prefer to consume sugary drinks. Make sure to drink 2 liters of water daily. This will boost your metabolism and give you a feeling of satiety. Furthermore, several studies have shown that water reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stress and eliminating toxins from the body.

8. Head for the wrong radius
In supermarkets, many people overlook the fresh counter and headed for the processed food or sugary drinks. Try changing your habits, preferably by going to the fruit and vegetable shelves. You will notice the difference in a few weeks.  And do not forget, of course, to support these efforts with some exercises to help you burn fat.

THERE IS FORGIVENESS FOR YOU

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9

'There are millions of people on this planet who think that because, in their own opinion, they are basically good, they have no need for a saviour or for forgiveness of sins.

Such people never reach out to receive God's offer of forgiveness because they are unable to bring themselves to acknowledge their own sinfulness. "

After all," they will say, "I've never killed anybody. I do my job, pay my bills, try to help my fellow man, and I'm a productive member of society. At least I'm not a thief or prostitute."

They say this, but they don't see how their lives are filled with bitterness, or envy, or gossip, or resentment, or self-righteousness, or pride, or hate, or jealousy-they don't see how sin has corrupted them and driven a wedge between themselves and a holy God.

As a result they go through life thinking, 'I'm not that bad; in fact, I'm better than most'. God's forgiveness is not based on how much we deserve forgiveness. It is based on His grace and our willingness to ask for forgiveness. Do you want to be forgiven?

Then go to God, in sincerity, asking to be forgiven of your sins. If you ask Him to forgive you, He will do just that for you.

Receiving forgiveness is an act of faith. You don't wait for a feeling to confirm it; you ask for it and by faith you accept it.

Trust God to keep His promise. He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

Prayer: Have mercy on me O Lord and cleanse away my sins.

TWENTY-FOUR HOUR MIRACLE

Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph's hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. Genesis 41:42

Overnight, God turned around the life of Joseph from an abandoned and rejected immigrant to a favoured and respected leader.

He had suffered from the jealousy of his brothers, the malice of his boss' wife and the abuse of prison life.

Considering the apparent retrogression of his life, the obvious conclusion was that Joseph was headed for a life of frustration and bitterness.

At almost every turn of his life, something had gone wrong. One day the routine and pattern of his life was interrupted. God stepped into the cycle of frustration and restarted a new pattern of blessing for him.

This was not a random act of God. It was simply the appointed time for Joseph to begin reaping the rewards of all the years of faithfulness and service that had previously gone unrewarded.

• Joseph's hands which a few hours ago had been in prison chains now wore the king's signet ring.

• Joseph's clothes which a few hours ago were general prison issue, were now of royal designer quality.

• Joseph's neck which a few hours ago bore burdens in prison was now adorned with a beautiful gold chain. In less than twenty-four hours, God took everything that was a shame and a reproach to Joseph and replaced it with honour.

He is still in the transformation business and will turn your life from shame to honour.

Today can be your day of breakthrough. All things are possible with God. Expect a miracle today!

Prayer: Thank You Lord, for Your power to turn my shame into honour and blessing.

Scriptural Reading: Genesis 41:37-57
