This is the true story of the revelation from God that inspired this mission.
Following a business setback in Clearwater Florida at age 40 in 1978 that wiped out 10 years of hard work my soul was asking God...what's going on here? I was led by the Spirit to read and study and think about the words of Jesus. This search for truth went on for several months. Finally one night I prayed to God to answer me just one question – are the words of Jesus really as important as He said they were?
The following morning I received a dream from God in answer to my prayer. Jim LeBeau
MY DREAM
I awoke with my hands high above my head. I just had the most wonderful dream. I was given a multiple choice problem to solve. At the top were the words MOTHER and BABY. Below were several choices that I was to choose from that would go with or complete those two words.
In my dream...in my mind...I searched for the right words to solve the problem. I did not find the answer. The answer was given to me. Suddenly like a bolt of lightning the answer was seared into my soul...MOTHER'S MILK. These were not my words.
I awoke with my hands stretched high above my head. I was in a state of ecstasy...bliss...a peace that far surpasses understanding...whatever you want to call it. After waking up I lay still for 10 or 15 minutes just enjoying the afterglow. I thought to myself...if heaven is like this it's wonderful! Before 1978 I never had one dream experience like the above nor any since. I have never woke up with my hands stretched high above my head except during the year 1978.
Pondering my dream - several days went by. The accountant for my business who shared an office happened "by coincidence" to give me a copy of his church bulletin. I glanced through it...still thinking about my dream.
Suddenly some words really grabbed my attention. My heart took a leap. It was a quote from 1 Peter 2:2...
"As newborn babies desire the sincere MILK OF THE WORD that you may grow thereby ".
This is called "confirmation". When you think you received a message from God the Holy Spirit doesn't leave you wondering. When scripture confirms a dream that you think came from God, then you know it came from God.
Imagine how I felt to realize that the words of Jesus are as important to someone born "in the spirit" as mother's milk is to a newborn baby!
My soul still reverberates from that dream. Since that day my mind and heart have been focused on one primary thing...how to understand Jesus. For that I have looked to HIS WORD. For the "fruit" of that process go to the "heal the sick" page on this website.
The reverberations from that dream continue to this day and will continue for many days to come.
A MISSING TRUTH: Why would God use "mother's milk" as a comparison to the "milk of the word". Is mother's milk that important to a baby?
Yes it is, and here is just one of the many reasons why.
It's all white stuff - cow’s milk…human milk…goat milk…horse milk…dolphin milk…pig milk…why not mix them up and raise a goat on pig milk, a calf on horse milk, or a human baby on cow’s milk? Here is why.
A BABY CALF - develops big strong bones first and a small brain later...maybe needing strong legs to run away from a wild dog. We now know that cow milk has the perfect balance of minerals and amino acids that helps a calf develop big bones first and a small brain later.
A HUMAN BABY - on the other hand develops just the opposite of a calf. A human baby develops a big brain and big nervous system first. The smaller bones come later. Wouldn't you know it...human mother's milk has the perfect balance of minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids that a human baby needs to develop a big brain and nervous system first with bone development coming later.
That God of ours, He's not so dumb after all. There may be a thousand more reasons to give a human baby the food God created for it...but this is a start.
For the mothers or mothers to be reading this it is important to note that...
YOUR MOTHER'S MILK WILL ONLY BE AS HEALTHY AS YOU ARE
BOTTOM LINE: Mother's milk is the right food for newborn babies in the flesh. The "spiritual milk of the word" (word of Christ) is the right food for newborn babies in the spirit.
