BE IN THE KNOW……The Medical Facts of STDs/STIs

Syphilis is a terrible infection. In its first stage, the infected individual may be lulled into thinking there is little wrong since the small sore will disappear in 2 to 8 weeks. The second and third stages are progressively worse and can eventually lead to brain, heart, and blood vessel damage if not diagnosed and treated. The saddest part is that syphilis is 100% curable with penicillin, yet there is now more syphilis than in the late 1940s, and it is spreading rapidly.

Chlamydia, a disease which only became common in the mid-1980s, infects 20 to 40% of some sexually active groups including teenagers. In men, chlamydia can cause infertile sperm, a condition reversible with antibiotics. In women, however, the infection is devastating. An acute chlamydia infection in women will result in pain, fever, and damage to female organs. A silent infection can damage a woman’s fallopian tubes without her ever knowing it. A single episode of chlamydia PID can result in a 25% chance of infertility. With a second infection, the chance of infertility rises to 50%. This is double the risk of gonorrhea.

Treatment with antibiotics is not always successful. One study reported that 18% showed a recurrence of infection within 3 weeks. As many as 14% of teenagers do not respond to treatment, and ultimately require a hysterectomy. It is an overwhelming burden for an 18 or 19 year old girl to have to face the fact that she will never be able to bear a single child.

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is an extremely common STD. One study reported that at the University of California, Berkeley, 46% of the sexually active coeds were infected with HPV. Another study reported that 38% of the sexually active females between the ages of 13 and 21 were infected.

HPV is the major cause of venereal warts which are extremely difficult to treat and may require expensive procedures such as laser surgery. HPV can result in pre-cancer or cancer of the genitalia. By causing cancer of the cervix, this virus is presently killing more women in this country than AIDS, or over 4,600 women in 1991. HPV can also result in painful intercourse for years after infection even though other visible signs of disease have disappeared.

And of course there is the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The first few cases of AIDS were only discovered in 1981; now, in the U.S. alone, there are between 1 and 2 million infected with this disease. As far as we know, all of these people will die in the next ten to fifteen years. As of early 1993, approximately 160,000 had already died.

In 1991 a non-random study at the University of Texas at Austin showed that 1 in 100 students who had blood drawn for any reason at the university health center was HIV infected.

While the progress of the disease is slow for many people, all who have it will be infected for the rest of their lives. There is no cure, and many researchers are beginning to despair of ever coming up with a cure or even a vaccine (as was eventually done with polio). In 1992, 1 in 75 men was infected with HIV and 1 in 700 women. But the number of women with AIDS is growing. In the early years of the epidemic less than 2% of the AIDS cases were women. Now the percentage is 12%.

SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

Psalm 144:2- BLESSED be the LORD my Rock, Who trains to my hands for war
And my fingers for the Battle- Amen! Amen! Thanks to Lord Jesus.

I, in my Lord and my Lord abiding in me is my spiritual journey experience. It is very difficult to explain this. *John 15:4- “Abide in Me, and I in you.*

Once the nature of desiring from others entered into me. That time had fear (Psalm 119:38). I stated thinking why this desiring nature entered me. With fear and confusion I prayed to God help me. Then I could see clearly that Satan in trying to inject that nature into me. I got laugh at the act of Satan & immediately I rebuked Satan to get back in the name of Lord Jesus. Then the nature i.e., Satan` s temptation gone away from me. * Luke 21:36- Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.*

Satan tempted me to sin. Why because “1 John 3:4- Transgression of the Law is sin”. Exodus 20:17- Thoushalt not covet anything of thy neighbors”. (Romans 7:12- Therefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good). Satan tempted me to violet this commandment. We should be sober & praying always. Then only we can overcome this kind of temptation & can see everything clearly, walking is Gods foot steps, having the holy, fulfilling Gods will & glorifying Gods name. When we live this kind of life, God will be glorified in our lives.* (Romans 7:7- On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law, For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said “You shall not covet”.)

Our old nature is crucified with Christ, having the new nature i.e., nature of Jesus Christ, we will be transforming into this image. Satan keep on struggling/fighting with us that Christ image should not be formed in us. Keeping in our old nature in view, He (Satan) always launches arrows up on us. When we overcome these triads to win over image of Christ will be made perfect in us. In order to win over Satan, we need to pray always & live pleasing life to God. ** Romans 6:6- knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin , *Galatians 5:1- Stand the fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.**

I like one place so I used to go there. But my God did` t like it so He commanded me not to go. Then I stopped going there. Why because I DON`T WANT WHAT I LIKE, I WANT ONLY WHAT GOD LIKES. We need to learn to do Gods will or desire but not ours. We need to love those God loves. Then only God is glorified in us. ** John 15:14- “You are My friends if you do what-ever I command you”,, Luke 22:42- Nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.,, Luke 11:28- More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it,, James 1:22- But de doers of the word, and not hears only, deceiving yourselves..**

In these days I forgot about North India. I thought I will serve the Lord in our district. But once again God reminded me about North India. Then I determined saying `Lord` definitely I will go to North India leaving everything because it is pleasing to you. When we obey the Lord, His spirit will be pleased in us thinking, My Son is obeying me. When we live like that Satan can` t stand before us and it will flee from us. ** Ephesians 6:6- As bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.,, James 4:7- Therefore submit to God, Resist the devil and he will from you *

When we obey God, God will shine is us through Satan can` t see that light & will run afar off. How much ever we show obedience to Gods impact will flow in us without measure. Whoever touches us, Gods power will heal them. Then we will have the breath of spirit of life. God’s power, life & light will flow through us & will touch, attract and lead many to God. God desire is that we all should live like that. **Mathew 5:14,16- “you are the light of the world”. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify Your Father in Heaven,, Ephesians 5:8, 10- Now you are light in the Lord .10. Finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. Walk as the children of Light. **

Many Christians desire to live happily in this world and after death to reach heaven. But our mind should always be upon the things that are above. We need to pray for them. When we do so, Satan will get fear in him because we are praying for eternal things. When we pray for the things that are above, God will grant us things which are necessary to live on this earth too.
**Matthew 6:33- But seek the first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and ALL THE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU.**

Many Christians will pray for earthly things alone. God will grant them but no prosperity/growth in their spiritual life. Satan always encourages to do so. Why means these are all perishable & God doesn’t like them.** * James 4:4- Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.,, John 6:27- Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the father has set His seal on Him. (1 Corinthians 10:5,6 read on bible)**

Our prayer & mind should be always for the glory of the Lord. This kind of prayer will be powerful and faithful and can strengthen others. **Titus 2: 12, 13- Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously , and godly in the present age. Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 4- This is the will of God, your sanctification. That each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor.**

During my beginning days of salvation I could not pray for Gods glory. Once a person asked me to pray for his sickness. Then I had only one thing in my mind. I prayed “Lord, heal that person, You will be glorified”. Immediately God healed him. God will be honored when we pray for His names glory. God wants us all to pray in this manner. **1 Corinthians 10:31-What ever you do, do all to the glory of God,, Colossians 3:23- Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.**

Many Christians pray but they don’t wait in God presences for answer. They pray and close soon. After the prayer, We need to meditate quietly, beholding the God` s face, listening His voice and waiting for the answer with desire. During this time our spirit will be please and strengthened. God will speak to us & Reveal His will, renew our mind and answer our prayers. God desires such a people of prayer.* Lamentation 3:41- Let us life our hearts and hands To God in heaven.*

Glory be to God forever who hath chosen we (nothing but dust) keeping me so that root of bitterness may not spring and forming
His image in me, renewing and leading me daily. Amen! Amen! Amen!

1 Corinthians 15:57- Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

His image in me, renewing and leading me daily. Amen! Amen! Amen!
