As I have stated before, I was in the Medical Field for 40 years, therefore, my type of thinking is very straight forward, it’s called “Linear thinking”. This sort of thinking, I found to be so crucial, simply because of the nature of Medicine. If there is a problem, it has a cause and effect, so the question would be, “Am I able to treat both or just one of them”. For example, a person has the flu. The flu is a virus, therefore we have no treatment for it, but we are able to treat the symptoms and that is what we do. Now we do have the “Flu Shot” and it does a fair job at “Preventing” the person from getting the flu in the first place, but this is not 100% guaranteed. Be sure, that there are varying symptoms with the Flu and also varying degrees of effect on the Patient. We also know, that continual and effective “Handing washing Technique” is essential to prevent getting the flu, but does this mean a person will never get the Flu? Obviously…NO!
Linear Thinking is good for the Medical Field, because the Medical Field is grounded in “Empirical” Science, therefore any deviation is strongly dis-couraged. For the rest of the world, everything seems to have a “Technical Manual” to refer to when problems arise, or you are able to contact the manufacturer for more assistance. With our Human bodies the Manufacturer is God, which the vast majority in Science, would deny “Empirically”! And the “Technical Manual” is the Word of God, the Bible and of course everyone will deny this as well. The Bible says, Psalm 103:2-4 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;” There is the answer!! “Trust the Lord, thy God. Who healeth all thy diseases”! Seems pretty “Linear” to me, for the world not so much though, they still like the “Empirical Thinking”.
I began smoking cigarettes when I was about 20-21 years of age, thought it made me look older and more sophisticated, how wrong was I. I am now 60 years of age and my two Physicians have done everything test-wise to show all the evils of smoking, I was suspecting the worst. I became a “Follower of Jesus Christ” about 10 years ago, but before that, I had every known problem there was for the average smoker. I had Bronchitis several times every year, as well as Pneumonia! You would have thought, I would have quit a lot sooner, but I digress. With in the last 10 years the Lord has wiped out every single problem I have had with smoking. I didn’t do this, the Lord God Almighty did it! I have had Lung Scans, Ultrasound for Plaque in my arteries, CT scan of my chest and neck and Profusion scans of my Heart…not a single thing came back other than normal. Again, I did NOT do this!! The Lord God Almighty did this and I have expressed this to my Physicians…in those exact words! Most of them said “I was just lucky”! Well guess what my Friends, there is no such a thing as “Luck”! My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God, is in charge of everything, including what my body does. IT was never my body to begin with, neither was my Soul or Spirit, they all belong to God. All that I can say, is that the Lord has a Plan for me and it must include my body and HE is doing with me whatever HE wants and in whatever manner!
So what is it that I am saying here? Believe on the Lord with all your heart and HE will cure YOU of all your diseases? If your dying of Metastatic Cancer, simply believing with all your heart, you’ll be instantly cured? NO! I am saying this is what happened to me and it is according to what the Lord has in store for me, HIS Perfect Will! “Faith”….True and complete “Faith” in the Lord, is to completely TRUST the Lord God Almighty…….NO matter what is going on with you! It is knowing that HE will do whatever HE thinks is best for YOU, even if it means you die. Here’s the thing, we all fear death because we have been programmed by satan to fear it, just look at all the Hollywood movies about it! In 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 “Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” As a true Believer, with Metastatic Cancer, when we die, we are instantly with the Lord in Heaven! Or do you have a better place to be?! Do you really want to stay here on this planet, with all those that Lie and Cheat, steal, hate, the wars and famine, Pestilence?? The Apostle Paul had a difficult time with this, He said he would rather be with the Lord. If he was with the Lord, his trials and tribulations would be over with, but what about all those that had not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Paul understood what his job here was and what it meant for the Lord to keep him here, even thought he did not want to stay. Think on this for a moment! Life here on this planet is very hard, one step after the other, no one is going to help you or even care for that matter.
As an “Un-Saved” individual, you are looking at staying here or going to Hell, in that case I would rather stay here too! If on the other hand, you are “Saved” to Jesus Christ, staying here is the worst and going to be with the Lord is to be in Heaven…INSTANTLY!!! Any “Rational” person knows this! This life is painful and difficult, there is little to no desirable qualities to staying here, unless you belong to Jesus Christ and your doing HIS Perfect Will in your Life! Here’s another REAL situation for ya, the “Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ” is coming very, very, quickly and the LAST thing you want to do is to miss that! I can not imagine, in my wildest dreams or imagination, how horrible the “Tribulation” is going to be…just know it will be horrendous at the least!
Where do you think all the “Diseases” of this world come from? It isn’t God!! It’s from the SIN in this world! Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, is the only person to have never sinned! Jesus Christ is the only one to die on a Cruel Cross and be buried and then Rise again on the third day! That means everyone else, ever born onto this planet is a sinner! There are two ways off this planet, to Eternal Hell or Eternal Heaven! That’s it, that’s all there is! To get to Heaven, you must choose before your death, to follow Jesus Christ and HIM only!! There is NO other God!! Trust me, when it comes to death, the usual manner of death is painful and unpleasant….NOT so if you belong to Jesus Christ! I have witnessed this situation more times than I could count and never have I seen a Child of the Lord die without the Lord being there and providing the Love HE has for them, the “Peace that passes all Understanding”! I belong to Jesus Christ and HE is ALL I need, HE is all YOU need as well!!
I am going to say it again and I’m going to continue to say it as well! The Ship is still in port and you still have a chance to get your boarding pass! But the ship’s gang-plank is about to be with-drawn and the ship will definitely leave port! Get your affairs in order, get your boarding pass now and be ready to leave! When the Captain comes to the bridge and gives the order, YOU will want to be aboard! Heaven is the destination and Jesus Christ is the ship and the Captain. After we set sail, the worst the world has ever known, even beyond that, will begin. The first 3 ½ years will be relatively quiet, but the last 3 ½ years will be worse than you could ever imagine! God’s Total wrath will commence all across the world and HE will wipe the globe clean of SIN and create the Earth has it was originally! Then Jesus Christ will begin HIS Millennial reign here on a NEW Earth and all those that have turned their back on Jesus Christ, will be in Eternal Damnation! Marantha Lord!
