MUCH OF OUR HEALING IS NOT A MIRACLE!!!!

​CLICK THE ARROW TO THE RIGHT FOR THE AUDIO SUMMARY >>>>

CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION, ALTHOUGH MANY OCCASIONS OF HEALING SEEM TO BE MIRACULOUS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF HEALING'S ARE NOT. GOD'S DESIGN INCLUDES OUR BODY'S ABILITY TO FIX AND RESOLVE DISEASE, INFIRMITIES AND SICKNESS. HEALING IS AN ONGOING NATURAL PROCESS THROUGHOUT ALL OF NATURE. HEALING IS IN EVERY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH HOMEOSTASIS. HOMEOSTASIS IS A "MIRACULOUS PROCESS" THAT OCCURS THROUGHOUT EVERY ASPECT OF OUR EXISTENCE. HOMEOSTASIS IS A GREEK WORD THAT DENOTES "SAME" AND "STEADY." HOMEOSTASIS BALANCES EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE. WE CAN APPLY HOMEOSTASIS NOT ONLY TO BODILY HEALTH AND HEALING BUT ALSO TO SPIRITUAL RENEWAL AND ACROSS THE SOCIAL SCIENCES. REMEMBER OUR BODIES ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT ITSELF AS WELL AS HEAL ITSELF. THESE PROCESSES HAVE BEEN BUILT INTO OUR "BEING!" HEALING IS A PROCESS AND SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.

THE COMBINATION OF AN ALWAYS IN OPERATION, SELF BALANCING, PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIETAL, ECONOMIC, PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL BLENDED ENVIRONMENT IS HOMEOSTASIS AT WORK. IN "HOMEOSTASIS," HEALING IS THE BALANCE OR FLIP-SIDE OF THE COIN FROM HARM. UNDERSTANDING THIS PROVIDES US WITH AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT THAT WE CAN APPLY AND USE IN OUR PINPOINT PRAYERS AND PRACTICES. WHEN WE ARE PRAYING FOR HEALING, IN MOST CASES, WE ARE​ ACTUALLY JUST ASKING FOR A "RESTORATION" OF HEALTH. WHEN WE REQUEST HEALING THROUGH PRAYER AND IT COMES; MANY TIMES, THAT EPISODE MAY NOT OCCUR AS A RESULT OF A SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE BUT RATHER BY ACUTE CARE OVER TIME WHICH ASSISTS IN HEALING BY DESIGN. 

THE D.I.P.P. DESIGN INTENT PURPOSE & PROMISES OF GOD

THE "BUILT IN" HEALING MECHANISMS WE ALL ARE GIFTED WITH AT BIRTH CAN BREAK UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. WE CAN ALSO FOOLISHLY OR INADVERTENTLY BREAK THEM OURSELVES. DOCTORS AND THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY FOCUS MOSTLY ON CURES AND THE USE OF CHEMICALS (MEDICINES), SURGICAL (REMOVAL & TRANSPLANTS) ALONG WITH OTHER METHODS TO MANAGE OUR HEALTH. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ALSO LEAN TOWARDS CHRONIC CARE RATHER THAN ACUTE CARE. ACUTE CARE PROVIDES IMMEDIATE, "SHORT-TERM" TREATMENT FOR AFFLICTIONS, DISEASE, ILLNESS, INJURIES AND SICKNESS. HEALING SHOULD BE ITS ULTIMATE DESIGN AND GOAL. IT SHOULD TEMPORARILY ASSIST WITH THE MAINTENANCE PROCESS OF RESETTING AND/OR RE-BALANCING OUR HEALTH UNTIL WE CAN MANAGE ON OUR OWN. CHRONIC CARE, ON THE OTHER HAND, GENERALLY FOCUSES ON LONG TERM MAINTENANCE AND OFTEN LIFELONG ONGOING MANAGEMENT OF PERSISTENT DISEASES. BELIEVING IN GOD WHILE DEPENDING ON MEDICINAL ASSISTANCE IS NOT A CONTRADICTION. TRUSTING IN DOCTORS WHILE ONLY HOPING IN FAITH MAY BE OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM. YES, EVEN PRACTICING FAITH WILL ALSO REQUIRE WORKS. YET EVEN IN THE MIDST OF BELIEVING IN "DESIGNED OR DIVINE HEALING," WE CAN EASILY SELF SABOTAGE AND SUBVERT THE PROCESS. SOME OF OUR HEALING CAN BE INSTANTANEOUS, BUT MOST OF THE TIME HEALING OCCURS THROUGH NATURAL GRADUAL AND PROGRESSIVE STAGES. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE ARE ALWAYS ENGAGED IN SOME ASPECT OF RESTORATIVE BIOLOGICAL HEALING ON A DAILY BASIS. DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO REQUEST AND/OR SEEK REGULAR EVERYDAY HEALING, OR DO WE JUST NEED TO BE THANKFUL? DOESN'T MOST OUR HEALING OCCUR AUTOMATICALLY? 
​
                   Let's examine some examples of physical healing from the Bible briefly

Jesus performed many instantaneous miracles on the blind, halt, lame and withered and lame. These people did not consult doctors, nor did they expect to be healed or restored. The majority of these people appear to be the victims of birth defects; they were never whole! The fifth chapter of John is a prime example of this. Supernatural regenerative acts of removing paralysis, giving or restoring sight and raising the dead were mostly unheard of. It's important to understand that many instances of the miracles depicted within multiple chapters and verses, including stories of healing occurred over various lengths of time. Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. When Elijah dealt with the prophets of Baal on Mt Carmel it was an all-day affair. The story we read about in minutes happened over many hours. There were no radios, phones, newscasts, internet or blow by blow broadcasts. News travelled slowly and messages were sent and hand delivered over days many times. After the victorious demonstration of fire from God, Jezebeel threatened Elijah with death. Elijah, stricken with fear, retreated into the wilderness, faded, lacked strength, and without sustenance wished for death. God did not zap him with energy. Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. God provided Elijah with food to eat for the task ahead. Physical weakness requires nourishment and that's what the angels provided. Natural food is required for natural energy, and our bodies need time to absorb and allocate it.  In the Bible there are a few instances where God miraculously transcended the laws of nature and altered time. Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. What is called "The longest day," occurred during the battle at Gibeon. This is when Joshua prayed for daylight to be extended so Israel could defeat the Amorites. When King Hezekiah was sick unto death the prophet Isaiah came and let him know that his time was up and to get his house in order. The king then prayed and asked God for more time. After this God sent word by the prophet Isaiah that the kings' prayer had been heard and that the answer was an additional fifteen (15) years. The king asked for a sign to assure him that the words of the prophet were true. The prophet told the king what sign to watch for. Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. God caused the shadow on a sun dial to move backward ten degrees. God altered time to visually confirm that King Hezekiah would recover from a deadly sickness. Hezekiah's prayer confirmed that he continued treatments to fully recover. “For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.” Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. God can but does not usually operate outside of natural order. However, God instructs and uses nature in many ways. Healing is a process. God can accelerate, enable and/or restore healing over time. When sickness strikes it can last for long periods and sometimes never resolve. Sometimes people's health deteriorates gradually over days, weeks, months and years. As frailty and weakness increase health also fades over time. We should take comfort in knowing that despite what any doctor says, we can exercise faith with or without evidence. Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. The story of Jairus's daughter in the fifth chapter of Mark plainly illustrates this. When improvement does not occur over time people tend to expect the worse. In this story the young girl had become so sick that her father knew she would die. She probably had gotten so dehydrated and weak that it was obvious she would be gone soon. Her father knew time was running out and acted in desperation. There were no ambulances or emergency rooms to rush her to, but Jesus wasn't too far away. By the time they got to Jesus and by the time it took Jesus to travel to where she was, word came to them that it was too late. Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. Apparently, as far as anyone could tell, she had died before Jesus could reach her. The people were crying, grieving and wailing over her supposed death as Jesus approached. When Jesus informed them that they were wrong and she was only sleeping (perhaps in a coma) they laughed and scorned him to shame. Nevertheless, Jesus went forward with her parents only, this is when he woke the child. We can imagine that she might have been almost emaciated from her sickness and as a result Jesus commanded them to give her something to eat. We can also imagine that over time she regained her strength and full health was restored. Gods' acts are instantaneous, but many of the manifestations happen over time. 

IS HEALING: ACTUAL OR EXAGGERATED -
​FACT OR FICTION - RELATIVE OR REALITY?

​                   DOES PSALMS 103 GIVE US CLARITY OR QUESTIONS?

1. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
ALTHOUGH GOD BLESSES US. WHAT ALL DO WE HAVE IN US TO BLESS GOD WITH?
2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
CAN JUST THE THOUGHT OF REMEMBERING ALL OF GOD'S BENEFITS BLESS GOD?
3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
CAN WE LITERALLY BELIEVE IN GOD FOR ALL FORGIVENESS AND ALL HEALING?
4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
IS THIS AN ONGOING PROCESS OR DO WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO EARN IT?
5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
ARE THESE GOOD THINGS OPENLY AVAILABLE OR CONDITIONAL? 
6. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
DOES THIS MEAN EVERYBODY OR JUST THE CHOSEN AND/OR CHURCH MEMBERS?
7. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
ARE GOD'S WAYS AND ACTIONS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE THINK WE SEE?
8. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
IS THIS WHY GOD ALLOWS OR INDULGES MANS CONSISTENT REBELLIOUS WAYS?
9. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
WHY DOES GOD'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS US CHANGE OVER TIME? 
10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
CAN THE LITERAL APPLICATION OF THIS METAPHOR BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY? 
11. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
DOES THIS ANALOGY ACCURATELY REPRESENT THE WAY GOD DEALS WITH US? 
12. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
ARE THESE REPEATED DEPICTIONS OF SUCH EXTREMES SIMPLY EXAGGERATIONS?
13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
ISN'T THIS COMPARISON SEEMINGLY MORE REASONABLE?
14. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
CONSIDERING ALL OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CAN WE BE SO FEEBLE?
15. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE AND TIME REALLY SO SHORT?
16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
DO WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND THIS ANALOGY?
17. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
IS GOD'S MERCY REALLY ENDLESS OR DOES IT HAVE A FINITE CAPACITY?
18. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
WHO TODAY KEEPS GOD'S COMMANDMENTS WHILE PRACTICING GOOD WORKS?
19. The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
IF GOD'S THRONE IS IN HEAVEN WHERE IS THE KINGDOM GOD RULES OVER?
20. Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
DO ANGELS BLESS GOD IN THE SAME MANNER AS HUMANS DO?
21. Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
WHO ARE THESE HOST AND MINISTERS BLESSING GOD? 
22. Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
HOW DOES GOD'S WORKS LIKE PLANETS, ROCKS AND STARS BLESS GOD TOO?

WHAT'S BEEN SPOKEN MAY ALSO BE BROKEN?

UNFORTUNATELY, THE THINKING AND APPROACH BEHIND DIAGNOSING AND MAKING AN ACCURATE PROGNOSIS OF AILMENTS TODAY RARELY INVOLVE SPIRITUAL FACTORS. SCIENCE AND SPIRIT ARE NOT JUXAPOSED, THEY ARE COMPLMENTARY! IT'S SAD THAT MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS FAILED TO CONSIDER THE "PERFECTION" IN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THE HUMAN BODY AND EARTH'S CREATION. THE UNIVERSE IS NOT A RESULT OF A "BIG BANG THEORY." IT IS TOO INTRICATELY INTERWOVEN TO BE OPERATING BY CHANCE OR HAPENSTANCE. THE FACT IS, THAT TODAY, MAN'S BIGGEST ISSUE IS HIS INABILITY TO RESOLVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD IN LIGHT OF HIS MODERN ADVANCEMENTS AND DISCOVERIES. THE ORIGIN OF SICKNESS AND DEATH IS THE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE. WE WERE NOT DESIGNED TO GET SICK OR DIE. WE PUT OURSELVES IN THIS PREDICAMENT. IT STANDS TO REASON THAT IF AN ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE CAN CONDEM US, THEN SURELY AN ACT OF OBEDIENCE CAN REDEEM US! CONSIDER THIS, THAT EVEN WHEN GOD WORKS MANY OF GOD'S MIRACLE'S GOD DOES IT WITHIN THE PREORDAINED SEASONS AND TIMES OF NATURE. IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD? THE ANSWER IS NO! YET EVEN THE MIRACLES GOD PERFORMS TAKES NATURE INTO CONSIDERATION. WHEN GOD SENT THE MESSAGE TELLING ABRAHAM THAT HIS WIFE SARAH WOULD CONCEIVE ALTHOUGH MENOPAUSE HAD ALREADY BEGAN, SHE LAUGHED. “Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” GOD PERFORMED THIS MIRACLE IN A SUPERNATURAL WAY YET IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NORMAL PROCESS FOR BIRTH. THIS WAS JUST AS GOD DID WITH THE VIRGIN MARY! ON MANY OF THE OCCASSIONS WHEN JESUS HEALED PEOPLE THE RESULTS WERE NOT INSTANTANEOUS.

RESTORATION IS NEEDED WHEN HEALING IS IMPEDED!

Many people deal with health only as it relates to our physical bodies. However, there are spiritual, biological and psychological aspects to health and healing. We like to blame our sicknesses on the Devil, evil or the powers of darkness, but rarely is that the case. The association is not that far-fetched when we consider both the story of Job and the thorn in the flesh that the Apostle Paul endured. Our bodies, minds, souls and spirits are gifted to us. We must take care of them. Many times, we petition God to supernaturally heal us, after getting sick this might be termed a "DIVINE HEALING or INTERVENTION." In reality, most of the time, we just need the natural process of healing to be restored. Does this imply that many of the issues we face with our own health are self-inflicted? The answer is yes. We have a tendency, unwittingly perhaps, to tear down autonomously built infrastructures critical to our mental, physical and spiritual well-being.  This phenomenon is known as disease, better expressed as dismissal or removal of ease. Disease is a direct result of disobedience. It manifests as infirmity, illness and sickness. Most of us do not recognize and ultimately miss the signs and symptoms of sickness until it manifests at the tangible physical level. Sooner or later even with check-ups and doctors somehow, we all will feel "under the weather" and get sick. Is it a dietary, emotional, environmental, psychological or spiritual issue? Sickness usually needs time to take hold on us internally before it can manifest externally. Why do we tend to ignore small or minor signs? Perhaps we do not actually know what some of them are. Psychological and physical symptoms can include dizziness, itching, irritation, nausea, anxiety, pain, swelling, uneasiness and other signs. Mental and spiritual symptoms can also manifest in a similar manner, but the diagnosis and prognosis operate on different principles. There is a sickness that affects society not included in most medical journals and research. ALL SICKNESS COMES AS A RESULT OF CORRUPTING CREATIONS DESIGN, INTENT AND PURPOSE. We cannot properly address anything we fail to acknowledge or choose to ignore! Why do we wait until it manifests in mass shootings, self-mutilation and abusive behaviors. Sin is a sickness! Without addressing the root cause of a malady, it will continue to resurface. The root of the word "health" is the word heal! Illnesses fall under two basic categories, acute and chronic. Acute illnesses usually resolve on their own but chronic conditions require an ongoing treatment. Sin is a CHRONIC condition! Some healing requires daily medication or treatment to maintain it. Such is the sickness called sin. One prescription, the daily medication for restoration is repentance and confession. Good health should be our normal state. We all have a built-in restorative process for healing; one is called sleep. Our circadian rhythm is as important as our diets. Slumber, the "spirit of sleep," should not be taken for granted and minimally used, or exploited by laziness and abused! Not only should our energy and health be constantly renewed and restored but our very souls need restoration too! "HE RESTORETH MY SOUL." It is important to embrace the principle that above all things we should first desire a higher level of spiritual prosperity above our constantly sought levels of natural prosperity. Seeking the kingdom of God first, adds and continually brings whatever we need from health to wealth. We must take into account that sickness is a predecessor to death. Before there was any death sickness alerted its coming. Sickness stems from disobedience and rebellion. Death comes as a result of separation from our source of life.

There is ALWAYS a GENESIS for every manifestation we experience.

Sickness is an all-inclusive word usually described as a temporary state induced from external circumstances or exposure. For example: We may get sick from eating improperly stored or prepared food. People not accustomed to boats may become Sea-Sick. A smell might be so disgusting that it makes us nauseous. Sometimes we can just simply get emotionally sick and tired of other people and/or circumstances. The "alternate state" that we find ourselves in when sick is indicative of a change in our health or general well-being. Sickness can affect some, all or any specific aspect of our existence. Mental, physical and spiritual sicknesses can affect us all. Sickness can be compared to a handicap or injury. We simply "get" sick but do not have to stay that way! Why do we usually associate sickness with our physical core, as in "sick to the stomach?" There may also be conditions or situations we find ourselves in that are sickening. Sickness can also arise from internal causes that may be lying dormant within us. These conditions may be inherited and passed from generation to generation as iniquities. All of us are genetically predisposed to our parents' traits.

Illness is usually associated with a prolonged sickness or infirmity. Everyone gets sick at some time or another but sometimes we become gravely ill. A prolonged sickness may be described as an illness but not called a disease. Situations involving prolonged or repeated stubbornness, uncontrolled temper, avoidance and selfishness may be characterized as an illness of the mind. Disease is usually considered to be an ongoing residing condition that results from an internal infiltration and occupation by sickness through illness. Many diseases have been diagnosed, understood and today we have cures. The cure for sin sickness was devised at the cross. Unfortunately, without applying that cure, we will continue battling against it and many others. In fact, there are all kinds of unknown diseases waiting to announce themselves to the world! Emotional/mental, bodily/physical and psychological/spiritual breakdowns may be described as attacks against our mind, body and soul. Discussing pathology (a medical term for the way a disease works) must focus beyond mental stresses, bacteria's, germs and viruses. Underlying spiritual conditions must not only be considered but included. Science studies the causes, nature and effects of disease. Spirit pinpoints the source of it all. Science and spirit are not juxtaposed, they are complementary. When Macbeth pleaded with the doctors for his wife's health he asked, "Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased?" The doctor's reply was short sighted albeit insightful. His answer was, "therein the patient must minister to himself." Had he met Jesus, perhaps his answer would have changed. Comorbidity is the simultaneous presence of two or more conditions working in an individual. In this forum we believe that comorbidity is the definitive condition in every sickness, illness or disease. Sin is the spiritual illness behind all infirmities. Iniquity is an inherited condition or spiritual birth defect. In this new era of accelerating change, any failure to exercise patience generally tends to create anxiety and duress. When we take into account many of the miracles Jesus performed, we'll see that healing was performed on both body and soul. The spiritual side was addressed through the teaching and preaching of his words, while the physical side was addressed through affirmations, proclamations and the laying on of hands. Here are a few examples. "Go and sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you."(John 5:14) His disciples once asked him "Master who did sin this man or his parents that he was born blind. (John 9:2) On another occasion when Jesus healed a blind man by touching him, he asked the man what he saw.  When the man replied that he saw men as trees Jesus touched him once again and the "way" he saw things was also healed. (Mark 8:24)

​Afflictions can be broadly defined as "anything" that causes pain or suffering. The Bible says that many are the afflictions of the righteous. This implies that there are all kinds of perils that they, like everyone else are subject to. Nobody is exempt from life's vicissitudes. The Bible say that he causes it to rain on the just and the unjust alike. Life is not biased. The very idea that suffering has a purpose or use, is in light of the fruit or results that can bring. Without having some benefit for us or for others our suffering is in vain. Suffering, to be fruitful must result in enlightenment. Suffering, to be fruitful must glorify God. Suffering, to be fruitful must teach, administer and have a lesson to be learned even if it is a punishment. Suffering, to be fruitful must bring understanding and revelations. One of the purposes of Jesus suffering was as a propitiator. He suffered on our behalf as the recipient of the punishment for us and the rest of the world. We need only learn the lessons from his affliction for us.

GOD'S CREATION HAS A DESIGN INTENT AND PURPOSE

The very idea of a hap-hazard "big bang theory" is stupidity!  We are designed, intentioned and purposed to prosper spiritually, physically and mentally. We were not built to break! True healing is holistic. Applying physical remedies without addressing mental and spiritual maladies is a shortsighted way of resolving issues. Before dealing with or solving a problem we must be able to properly diagnose what that problem is beyond its symptoms. Bad behavior and thinking are traditionally addressed through counseling, instruction, training or rehabilitation. However, it is critical to first realize that we cannot discipline or punish an illness. Whether it's psychiatric, neurological or spiritual, the realization that sin operates in a similar manner as a virus does is key. In our arrogance and/or ignorance, is it possible that our perspectives cause us to see men as trees? The punishment has already been administered, and the price has been paid. We only need access to that healing balm which restores us to the condition of being whole. ​Our bodies and minds considered to be separate function as one. Our bodies will ALWAYS signal by symptoms or condition the "status of mind." "The status of Mind," is all inclusive term that encompasses our will, heart and desire. Our "minds" ALWAYS signal its presence through thought, conversation and deeds which reveals the condition of our soul and spirit. ​

WHAT ABOUT DOCTORS & MODERN MEDICINE?

From the advent of sin sickness has emerged and since then we have been waging a war against it. Sickness can be treated or healed. God can heal us, and our bodies are designed to heal itself. Doctors, drugs, medicines and therapies are treatments designed to promote healing. What anyone reads from here on, under this topic was added after the initial posting. This may seem controversial, but it aligns with our own personal experience and research. Today's medical industry has been corrupted by money. When the Bible say that the love of money is the root of all evil, we had better believe it. We consistently list the legacy and newly discovered natural methods, remedies and therapies we have heard about, researched or used. The links are spread throughout many of our posts. This is not "doctor" bashing, medical advice or prescription. It is information assembled by an aggregator, apologist, believer, researcher and spiritual scientist. We believe in doctors and institutionalized medicine, but we also believe in the corruption of man. Today our list begins with vitamin D and sunshine. The good ole free GOD given gift of sunshine is the source of all life on this planet as far as we know. Those of us not getting enough of it due to modern day "technical" improvements should click on the following links especially if they are hospitalized or institutionalized. We were designed to be outside get out there! Most vitamin D updated findings and research is buried so deep that it may be hard to find so start here: ​https://www.ccjm.org/content/89/3/154. Many of us are being poisoned. The soil and the food grown in it is a major concern. From air, to sunshine, to rain, to seed, to soil, to minerals and the mining of our planet the cycle is being polluted. The foods we consume on a daily basis that are processed or ultra processed are the next area of concern. As a result of our many modern-day advancements, inventions and technologies, food is lasting longer and longer. The refrigerator alone revolutionized society by enabling long-term food preservation. This reduced spoilage and allowed individuals to reduce the number of trips to markets for daily fresh food. It shifted consumption toward seemingly fresh and slower perishable foods year-round.

Needles, pills, potions and surgery are generally prescribed by the majority of doctors as treatment for most ailments. The chronic care model is far more profitable than an acute care one.

WHAT IS SUPERNATURAL/SPIRITUAL HEALING?

​It is important to take into consideration how ALL things interconnect from the micro to the macro. Although all things interconnect and intersect in the grand scale at some degree, how they interact at specifically distinct areas and levels can make critical differences. The intricate design of most living things, especially the highest species in creation, the human body follows a preservation and survival order or routine. We are spiritual beings having a human experience that we are intellectually processing with our interconnected minds! When we are injured or get sick in any way, our system responds by maintaining the vital functions we need to keep living by cutting back on or downgrading the less essential parts. This by effect minimizes some functionality in other aspects of our being in order to protect the most indispensable parts. This is part of the reason that some of our extremities can be sacrificed in order to save our lives through amputations and other natural methods our bodies use to survive. When our bodies are stressed and oxygen depleted the most important functions must be sustained to our hearts, lungs and brains. When these organs are taxed, they in turn can limit may other functions and operate at a subpar level themselves. Some level or type of shock occurs after every accident or stressful event. The effects may be short lived, but it happens, nevertheless. Sometimes people sick with chronic conditions and injuries experience deficiencies in mental acuity. Times of brain fog, memory lapses along with confusing or conflicting thoughts are likely to come about whether we're aware of it or not. These effects can be immediate, delayed, cyclic or ongoing. Some subtle manifestations may be difficult to detect or accept due to how we feel and the deceptive nature of our own cognitive or confirmation biases. Other may recognize discreet changes but not be aware of their association with an underlying condition. Ability and acuity are not the same thing they are close, but they have distinctions. Acuity deals with the sharpness or keenness of thought, vision, or hearing and processing the data or information. Ability is the possession of the means or skill to do something. Able bodied persons can be partially disabled in their acuity and not know it. Clear and critical thinking is not only a leaned skill, but it is an interconnected and interrelated integrated function of our being. We must be acutely aware of the mental, physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of existence to paint a complete picture. When people do things that they know are wrong, they are in fact operating in an "out of mind" delusional way and the deceitfulness of sin has a grip on them systemically. this is something we have experienced personally. Looking back on former behaviors and previous decisions we made that were detrimental to ourselves and hurtful towards others; how many of us can utter the common phrase that, "I must have been out of my mind!" Note that the expression does not say out of brain or mental ability. The phrase says out of mind or mental acuity! When God promised his people restoration if they repented, he promised to heal their land. The "land" declaration not only encompassed the physical soil and crops, but also the environment. That promise extended to the mental, natural and spiritual aspects of life.

OUR MAIN ENEMY IS THE DEVIL...HIS MAIN WEAPON IS OUR IGNORANCE

In order to gain the best opportunities for deliverance we must battle our greatest obstacle, darkness, which is ignorance. We must understand where disease, disorders, impairment, illness, infirmity, maladies and sickness originate. All of creation was sickened by the sin of Adam and Eve. Although healing and restoration are synonymous, they must be individually distinguished. It is important to make distinctions between sickness, illness, and disease. Is there a reason we use the phrases like getting sick, falling ill or having a disease? Healing is often what we request but restoration is what generally occurs. An intelligent prayer is explicit and is in alignment with scriptural basis. Healing can come from without and within. Many times, once we correct the disorders we've embrace both healing and restoration will come. Some pray for healing when there is no known cause for their sickness. Others pray for restoration when they identify the faults, shortcomings or sin in their life. If there be any sick among us, they should call on those of us seasoned enough to properly perform the precision prayer that addresses the root cause of the malady. It is important to understand that as miraculous as healing may appear or seem to be healing is to be expected as promised. "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases." We bring healing as the light of the world and the salt of the earth. When we utter the word "Healed" it indicates a past work "producing" in a present situation. Healing that has already been performed simply requires signs and proof or restoration. Healing operates on so much more than just the physical realm. Words can bring healing, touch can create healing, faith can facilitate healing, prayer can invoke healing, peace can promote healing, and love is the agent that heals us all. Healing and restoration can often happen without desiring or acknowledging it. Healing's restorative power comes with the grace that keeps our world turning.
