Pain, suffering, death. Christians are being chewed up by the Medical establishment. Cut, burn and poison describe the the practice of surgery, Radiation and Chemotherapy. Even after all those procedures the longevity after man’s system isn’t there.
My father went thru experimental bone marrow transplant where they drill a hole in the bone and suck up the marrow (the marrow is part of your immune system). Then they gave him a high dose of radiation which killed all remaining marrow in his bones. Then they added the taken out marrow back into his bones.
He didn’t last long.
Through out the bible there are numerous passages which speaks about healing – but one won’t know them if they don’t read the bible intensively.
King Asa relied on the medical establishment solely and after a painful 3 years…. he died.
KJV 2 Chronicles 16:12-13
12 And [King] Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
That doesn’t mean you just solely use prayer. God gives you the bible as a health guide book. Example in Revelation 22:2 the passage states that leaves were for the healing of the nations.
KJV Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Leaves, wine, herbs, proper biblical diet and many other biblical passages all contribute to a healthy Christian. All have sinned (Rm3:23) in the area of proper nutrition and maintenance for the body. After a decade of sinning of eating unclean & polluted foods – it’ll take some time to purge out the temple (your body) and re-sanctify.
KJV Roman
s 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Sometimes one is able to turn the ship around and other times one is not able to turn the ship around before it sinks.
So true is Proverbs 22:6 about training your child so he won’t depart when they are older.
KJV Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Parents: train your child in the bible. The entire bible from cover to cover. The bible is the guide book for the here and now and for the salvation from the lake of fire.
