HOW TO GET HEALED AND STAY HEALED

Bible Proof That It Is Always God’s Will to Heal

THERE ARE MANY REASONS WE CAN GIVE FROM SCRIPTURE TO PROVE THAT BODILY HEALING IS ALWAYS THE WILL OF GOD FOR ALL MEN IN EVERY AGE. THE FOLLOWING PROOFS ARE A FEW THAT ARE BACKED BY MANY SCRIPTURES TO PROVE IT IS ALWAYS GOD’S WILL TO HEAL:

(1) HEALING IS IN THE ATONEMENT AND THEREFORE MUST BE THE WILL OF GOD FOR ALL MEN FOR WHOM THE ATONEMENT WAS MADE. THAT HEALING IS IN THE ATONEMENT IS PLAINLY STATED IN A NUMBER OF SCRIPTURES. THE LITERAL RENDERING OF ISA. 53:3-5 READS, “HE WAS DESPISED, AND FORSAKEN OF MEN; A MAN OF PAINS, AND ACQUAINTED WITH SICKNESS: . . . SURELY HE HATH BORNE OUR SICKNESSES, AND CARRIED OUR PAINS: YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM VIOLENTLY BEATEN, SLAIN OF GOD, AND DEGRADED. BUT HE WAS SLAIN FOR OUR CRIMES, HE WAS BEAT TO PIECES FOR OUR GUILT; . . . AND WITH HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED. . . YET IT PLEASED JEHOVAH TO BEAT HIM TO PIECES; HE HATH MADE HIM SICK: WHEN THOU SHALT MAKE HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN.” THIS PLAINLY PICTURES CHRIST AS BEARING THE SINS AND SICKNESSES OF ALL MEN IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE CROSS.

TO PROVE THAT ISAIAH DID MEAN HEALING OF THE BODY INSTEAD OF ONLY FORGIVENESS OF SINS WE HAVE THE STATEMENT OF MATT. 8:16-17 SAYING, “HE CAST OUT THE SPIRITS WITH HIS WORD, AND HEALED ALL THAT WERE SICK: THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY ISAIAH THE PROPHET, SAYING, HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES, AND BARE OUR SICKNESSES.” PETER ALSO TAUGHT THAT CHRIST TOOK OUR SICKNESSES ON THE CROSS: “WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED” (1 PET. 2:24). PAUL TAUGHT THE SAME TRUTH WHEN HE STATED THAT MANY OF THE CORINTHIANS WERE SICK AND MANY HAD DIED BECAUSE THEY HAD FAILED TO GET HEALING FOR THE BODY BY RIGHTLY DISCERNING THE LORD’S BROKEN BODY (1 COR. 11:29-30).

TO SAY THAT MATT. 8:17 WAS FULFILLED BEFORE THE ATONEMENT WAS MADE ON THE CROSS, AND THEREFORE, IT WAS NOT FULFILLED ON THE CROSS, DOES NOT PROVE THAT HEALING IS NOT IN THE ATONEMENT. ON THE SAME BASIS WE COULD PROVE THAT CHRIST DID NOT ATONE FOR SIN ON THE CROSS BECAUSE HE ALSO FORGAVE SINS BEFORE THE CROSS. BUT 1 PET. 2:24 SETTLES THIS QUESTION BY SHOWING THAT BOTH SINS AND SICKNESSES WERE ATONED FOR BY CHRIST IN HIS SUFFERINGS. ALSO, SINCE ISA. 53 PICTURES CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS ON THE CROSS, IT PROVES THAT BOTH SINS AND SICKNESSES WERE BORNE BY HIM AT THAT TIME. CHRIST FORGAVE SINS AND HEALED BEFORE THE CROSS IN VIEW OF HIS COMING ATONEMENT FOR BOTH.

(2) GOD WOULD NOT HAVE HEALED PEOPLE IN BOTH TESTAMENTS IF IT HAD NOT BEEN HIS WILL TO HEAL ALL WHO COME IN FAITH TO HIM. GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS (ROM. 2:11), AND HE HAS TOLD US IF ANYONE HAS A RESPECT OF PERSONS HE HAS SINNED (JAMES 2:9). THIS PROVES THAT GOD WILL HEAL ALL ALIKE IF HE HAS EVER HEALED ANYONE. EVERYONE CAN BE HEALED THE SAME WAY THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN HEALED AND THEY HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO SUCH HEALING AS ALL OTHERS HAVE HAD, FOR IT IS GOD’S PROMISE TO PROVIDE FOR ALL ALIKE AND BE GOOD TO ALL ALIKE (PS. 84:11; MATT. 7:7-11). THIS IS WHY JESUS DIED (MATT. 8:16-17; 1 PET. 2:24; ROM. 8:32).

(3) GOD WOULD NOT HAVE MADE PLAIN HIS WILL CONCERNING HEALING, IF IT WERE NOT HIS WILL TO ALWAYS HEAL THOSE WHO MEET HIS CONDITIONS OF HEALING (MATT. 8:17; JAMES 5:14-16; 1 PET. 2:24; 3 JOHN 2).

(4) GOD WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ORIGINATOR OF SIN AND SICKNESS, IF IT HAD BEEN HIS WILL FOR SUCH TO CONTINUE IN THE HUMAN RACE (REV. 21:3-7).

(5) HE WOULD NOT HAVE HEALED EVEN ONE PERSON IN ANY AGE AND HE WOULD NOT HAVE PROVIDED FOR AND FREELY PROMISED HEALING AT ALL IF HE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR SICKNESS (JOHN 10:10).

(6) IT WAS GOD’S WILL THAT MAN SHOULD BE HEALTHY AND SINLESS FOREVER WHEN HE CREATED HIM, AND THAT IS STILL HIS HIGHEST WILL (GEN. 2:17; 3 JOHN 2).

(7) JESUS CHRIST PROVED IT TO BE GOD’S WILL TO HEAL ALL THE SICK WHEN HE ACTUALLY HEALED ALL THAT WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL (ACTS 10:38).

(8) THE UNIVERSAL WILL OF GOD WAS MADE CLEAR WHEN THE EARLY CHURCH WAS GIVEN POWER TO CARRY ON THE WORK JESUS “BEGAN BOTH TO DO AND TO TEACH” (ACTS 1:1-8; MATT. 29:19-20; MARK 16:15-20; JOHN 14:12-15).

(9) THE FACT THAT SICKNESS IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL PROVES THAT GOD WILLS TO GET RID OF IT IN HIS CHILDREN (1 JOHN 3:8; JOHN 10:10).

(10) SIN IS ALSO THE WILL OF GOD IF SICKNESS IS, FOR BOTH WERE DEALT WITH ON THE SAME BASIS (MATT. 9:1-12; JAMES 5:14-16; MATT. 13:15).

(11) SATAN AND DEMONS WOULD NOT FIGHT TO MAKE AND KEEP MEN SICK IF IT WAS THE WILL OF GOD FOR THEM TO BE SICK. SATAN WOULD TRY TO MAKE MEN WELL IF IT WAS THE WILL OF GOD FOR THEM TO BE SICK. IT IS AN UNFAILING PRINCIPLE OF SATAN TO WORK JUST THE OPPOSITE OF THE WILL OF GOD. WHEN ONE ARGUES THAT IT IS GOD’S WILL FOR THEM OR ANYONE TO BE SICK HE IS IN CO-OPERATION WITH SATAN AND NOT GOD (ACTS 10:38; 1 JOHN 3:8; JOHN 10:10).

(12) JESUS WOULD NOT HAVE DIED TO HEAL MEN OF SICKNESS IF IT IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR THEM TO BE SICK, AND IF HE WANTED MEN TO BEAR IT (MATT. 8:16-17; JOHN 10:10; 14:12-15; ACTS 10:38; 1 PET. 2:24).

(13) EVERY TIME MEN ASKED CHRIST TO HEAL HE DID IT AND REPEATEDLY HE SAID, “I WILL” (MATT. 8:2, 7; JOHN 5:60). SINCE HE SPOKE ONLY AS GOD GAVE HIM WORDS, THEN HE EXPRESSED THE WILL OF GOD IN SAYING “I WILL” (JOHN 12:49).

(14) THERE CAN BE NO ANALOGY BETWEEN CHRIST’S PRAYER, “IF IT BE THY WILL” AND THE PRAYERS OF CHRISTIANS CONCERNING GOD’S WILL TO HEAL. HEALING IS ALWAYS OF GOD AND IS ALWAYS HIS WILL, AND WE DO NOT HAVE TO ASK HIM IF IT IS HIS WILL CONCERNING ANYTHING THAT IS DEFINITELY PROMISED IN SCRIPTURE. IT IS ALREADY HIS WILL TO HEAL OR HE WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN HIS WORD THAT IT IS. IN OTHER WORDS, ANY PROMISE GOD HAS MADE SHOULD NEVER ONCE BE DOUBTED AND ASKING GOD WHETHER HIS PROMISE IS TRUE EXPRESSES DOUBT AND UNBELIEF. THE PROMISES TO THE BELIEVER ARE “ASK WHAT YE WILL” AND “WHAT THINGS SOEVER YE DESIRE,” THEREFORE ASK, AND YOU SHALL HAVE THEM (MARK 11:22-24; JOHN 14:12-15; 15:7, 16; 16:23-26; MATT. 21:2122; JAMES 1:5-9; HEB. 11:6). HOW LITERALLY FOOLISH IT IS TO ASK GOD TO KNOW HIS WILL CONCERNING ANYTHING THAT IS ALREADY CLEARLY HIS WILL! NEVER BE GUILTY AGAIN OF PRAYING A USELESS, UNBELIEVING PRAYER CONCERNING ANYTHING THAT GOD HAS PROMISED, SUCH AS “IF IT BE THY WILL.” IT IS A SINFUL REFLECTION UPON GOD TO ALWAYS TELL HIM THAT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE HIS WILL AS EXPRESSED IN PLAIN PROMISES AND THAT YOU MUST HEAR FROM HIM PERSONALLY AS TO WHETHER HIS PROMISES ARE TRUE OR NOT.

(15) SICK PEOPLE SHOULD ASK GOD TO FORGIVE THEIR UNBELIEF EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ONLY TEMPTED TO QUESTION THE WILL OF GOD CONCERNING HEALING OR ANYTHING HE HAS PROMISED. THE WILL OF GOD IS EXPRESSED IN THE LORD’S PRAYER, “THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” (MATT. 6:10). IF ONE COULD BE PRESUMPTUOUS ENOUGH TO ARGUE THAT HEAVEN IS FULL OF SICK PEOPLE AND THAT THIS IS GOD’S WILL ON EARTH, ONE MIGHT QUESTION THE WILL OF GOD AND EXCUSE UNBELIEF. THIS PRAYER HAS BEEN PERVERTED BY CHRISTIANS ALMOST UNIVERSALLY. EVEN CHRISTIAN HYMNS AND WRITINGS DISCLOSE SUCH DELUSIONS OF SATAN TO KEEP MEN IN BONDAGE TO HIMSELF. CHRISTIANS ACTUALLY THANK GOD FOR THE WORK OF THE DEVIL. SATAN ALSO LEADS THEM TO BELIEVE THAT HIS WORKS IN THEIR BODIES GLORIFY GOD AND THAT THEY ARE IN HIS PERFECT WILL BY HAVING SICKNESSES. A CLEAR SAMPLE OF SUCH FALLACY IS EXPRESSED IN THE FOLLOWING HYMN OF FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL, WRITTEN IN THE ALPS, OCT. 8, 1876, WHILE SHE WAS IN GREAT PAIN:

“I TAKE THIS PAIN, LORD JESUS, FROM THINE OWN HAND; THE STRENGTH TO BEAR IT BRAVELY THOU WILT COMMAND. I TAKE THIS PAIN, LORD JESUS, AS PROOF INDEED THAT THOU ART WATCHING CLOSELY MY TRUEST NEED, THAT THOU, MY GOOD PHYSICIAN, ART WATCHING STILL, THAT ALL THINE OWN GOOD PLEASURE THOU WILT FULFILL. I TAKE THIS PAIN, LORD JESUS; WHAT THOU DOST CHOOSE. THE SOUL THAT REALLY LOVES THEE WILL NOT REFUSE. I TAKE THIS PAIN, LORD JESUS, AS THINE OWN GIFT. AND TRUE, THOUGH TREMULOUS PRAISES I NOW UP LIFT. ‘TIS THY DEAR HAND, 0 SAVIOUR, THAT PRESSETH SORE. THE PRESSURE ONLY TELLS ME THOU LOVEST ME.”

WHAT WONDERFUL LOVE AND WHAT A WAY TO EXPRESS IT! THIS IS ACCUSING CHRIST OF BEING THE AUTHOR OF PAIN AND SICKNESS FOR THE PLEASURE OF GOD; THAT SICKNESS PROVES THE LOVE OF GOD; THAT IT IS THE TRUEST NEED OF MAN ‘ : THAT THE GOOD PHYSICIAN INSTEAD OF HEALING, MAKES SICK; THAT IT IS GOD’S PLEASURE TO CAUSE PAIN IN HIS CHILDREN; AND THAT SUCH IS THE CHOICE OF GOD AND HIS GIFT TO THE REDEEMED.

ONE CAN ONLY BELIEVE THAT SUCH POETRY WAS INSPIRED OF SATAN INSTEAD OF GOD. AND TO THINK, SAINTS ARE SO DECEIVED. SURELY SATAN STANDS BACK AND LAUGHS WITH GLEE WHEN HE CAN GET GOD’S OWN CHILDREN TO ACCUSE HIM OF PUTTING ON THEM THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

(16) IT IS AS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO COMMUNICATE DISEASE AS IT IS FOR HIM TO COMMUNICATE AND PROPAGATE SIN AND REBELLION. NEITHER SIN NOR SICKNESS COMES FROM GOD FOR THEY DO NOT BELONG TO HIM. THEY BELONG TO A FALLEN WORLD OF SINFUL CREATURES (JAMES 3:11-12).

(17) IT IS NOT PRESUMPTUOUS TO PRAY IN EVERY CASE FOR HEALING, BELIEVING FROM THE WHOLE HEART THAT IT IS ALREADY GOD’S WILL AND THAT IT SHALL BE DONE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL (JOHN 10:10; 15:7; JAMES 4:7; 5:14-18; MARK 11:22-24).

(18) IF IT WERE NOT THE WILL OF GOD TO ALWAYS HEAL HE NEVER WOULD HAVE PROVIDED THE MEANS OF HEALING, MADE A COVENANT TO HEAL, PROMISED HEALING, DEMONSTRATED IT, REBUKED MEN FOR NOT HAVING FAITH FOR IT, CONTINUED TO HEAL IN EVERY AGE, AND HE NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE HEARING PART OF THE SPIRITUAL EQUIPMENT OF THE CHURCH AND PROOF THAT AN INDIVIDUAL IS A FULL BELIEVER (JOHN 14:12; 1 COR. 12:7-11; ACTS 1:8; 3:6; 4:30; 5:10; 19:11; ETC.)

WHEN SHOULD MEN PRAY “IF IT BE THY WILL”?

IT IS CLEAR BY NOW THAT IT IS SINFUL TO PRAY, “IF IT BE THY WILL” CONCERNING ANYTHING THAT GOD HAS PROMISED TO MEN. THIS KIND OF PRAYING IS A PRAYER OF UNBELIEF AND IT WILL NEVER BE ANSWERED. IT DOES NOT TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD. IT DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD MEANS WHAT HE SAYS. IT CALLS HIM INTO QUESTION CONCERNING THE THINGS HE HAS MANY TIMES ASSURED ALL MEN THAT THEY CAN HAVE IF THEY WILL ONLY HAVE FAITH. THUS ONE SHOULD NEVER PRAY SUCH PRAYERS AS: “IF IT BE THY WILL, SAVE THIS MAN AND FORGIVE HIM OF HIS SINS,” “IF IT BE THY WILL, HEAL THIS MAN AND MAKE HIM WELL,” “IF IT BE THY WILL, SUPPLY MY NEEDS AND MAKE ME A SUCCESS IN BUSINESS,” OR “IF IT BE THY WILL, PLEASE GIVE ME WHAT YOU HAVE PROMISED.” IN FACT, THIS PHRASE, “IF IT BE THY WILL” SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN ORDINARY PRAYING FOR ANY GOOD THING IN LIFE THAT GOD HAS MADE ANY PROMISE ABOUT.

THE ONLY TIME SUCH A PRAYER SHOULD BE PRAYED IS WHEN WE MAKE PLANS TO GO TO SUCH AND SUCH A CITY, TO BUY AND SELL TO GET GAIN, OR TO DO THIS OR THAT, THAT IS NOT DEFINITELY PROMISED IN ANY PART OF THE WORD OF GOD (JAMES 4:13-17). IN SUCH MATTERS IT IS PROPER TO GET THE WILL OF GOD BEFORE ACTING AND NEVER ACT UNTIL GOD’S WILL IS MADE CLEAR. NEVER GO TO GOD AS IF YOU ARE AFRAID, AND AS IF YOU EXPECTED HIM TO UPBRAID YOU. HE DOES NOT DO THIS (JAMES 1:4-8). LEARN FROM THE BIBLE AND IN PRAYER WHAT THE WILL OF GOD IS ABOUT THOSE PERSONAL PLANS IN LIFE THAT ARE NOT MENTIONED IN PARTICULAR IN ANY SCRIPTURE, AND THEN DO THE WILL OF GOD. DO NOT PRAY TO CHANGE GOD OR TO GET HIM TO AGREE WITH YOUR PLANS, BUT PRAY UNTIL YOU ARE CHANGED AND WILLING TO CONFORM TO GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU. IN OTHER WORDS, LEARN WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED IN HIS WORD AND NEVER PRAY, “IF IT BE THY WILL” CONCERNING THESE FACTS. PRAY TO KNOW THE WILL OF GOD CONCERNING ALL OTHER MATTERS AND ALL PRAYERS CAN BE PRAYED IN FAITH AND CONFIDENCE AS TO THE ANSWER.

HOW TO GET HEALED AND STAY HEALED

1. BECOME CONVERTED AND BORN AGAIN

THE GOSPEL TEACHES THAT FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND HEALING OF THE BODY GO HAND IN HAND. IF MINISTERS WOULD TEACH ALL THE GOSPEL, PEOPLE WOULD HAVE FAITH IN BOTH HEALING AND FORGIVENESS AND SINNERS COULD GET BOTH AT THE TIME OF CONVERSION. THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES PROVE THAT BOTH BENEFITS WERE PROVIDED IN THE SACRIFICE OF CALVARY: “HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES, AND BARE OUR SICKNESSES” (MATT. 8:16-17); “WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED” (1 PET. 2:24). THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES PROVE THAT BOTH FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND HEALING OF THE BODY SHOULD BE RECEIVED AT ONE TIME: “WHO FORGIVETH ALL THINE INIQUITIES; WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES” (PS. 103:3); “FOR WHETHER IS EASIER TO SAY, THY SINS BE FORGIVEN THEE; OR TO SAY, ARISE, AND WALK?” (MATT. 9:5); “FOR THIS PEOPLE’S HEART IS WAXED GROSS, AND THEIR EARS ARE DULL OF HEARING, AND THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED; LEST AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND SHOULD UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND SHOULD BE CONVERTED, AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM” (MATT. 13:15); “IS ANY SICK AMONG YOU? LET HIM CALL FOR THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH; AND LET THEM PRAY OVER HIM, ANOINTING HIM WITH OIL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD: AND THE PRAYER OF FAITH SHALL SAVE THE SICK, AND THE LORD SHALL RAISE HIM UP; AND IF HE HAVE COMMITTED SINS, THEY SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM” (JAMES 5:14-16). THUS IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT HEALING IS JUST AS EASY TO RECEIVE FROM GOD AS FORGIVENESS OF SINS. BOTH CAN BE RECEIVED BY THE SAME SIMPLE FAITH IN GOD AND ASKING IN THE NAME OF JESUS. HEALING IS PART OF YOUR SALVATION; DO NOT BE CHEATED OUT OF IT ANY MORE THAN YOU PERMIT YOURSELF TO BE CHEATED OUT OF FORGIVENESS OF SINS. GOD WILL DO ANYTHING WHEN CONDITIONS ARE MET. IF YOU HAVE NEED OF HEALING, IT IS ONLY RIGHT THAT YOU SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO GOD IF YOU EXPECT HIM TO HEAL YOU. YOU WILL NOT ONLY GET HEALED, BUT YOU WILL BE SAVED AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SAVED FROM A LIFE OF SIN.

2. HAVE FAITH IN GOD FOR HEALING:

IF ONE WILL ASK GOD FOR HEALING AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS DONE AS HE IS TAUGHT TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS OF SINS, IT WILL BE DONE. ONE SHOULD NEVER DOUBT FOR ONE MOMENT THAT GOD WILL HEAL HIM, JUST AS HE IS TAUGHT TO BELIEVE IN FORGIVENESS OF SINS. ONE SHOULD RESIST ALL DOUBT THAT HE IS HEALED, JUST AS HE MUST IF HE IS TEMPTED TO DOUBT THAT GOD HAS FORGIVEN HIM. MEN ARE TAUGHT TO ACCEPT SALVATION BY FAITH AND COUNT IT DONE WHETHER THEY FEEL IT OR NOT. THEY ARE TAUGHT THAT GOD HAS FORGIVEN THEM REGARDLESS OF FEELINGS; AND IF THEY WILL BUT BELIEVE THIS, THEY ARE SAVED. SO IT IS WITH HEALING OF THE BODY. AFTER PRAYER HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND HEALING HAS BEEN ASKED FOR, ONE SHOULD LIKEWISE COUNT IT DONE AND BELIEVE IT REGARDLESS OF FEELINGS, SYMPTOMS, OR OUTWARD EVIDENCES TO THE CONTRARY.

IF ONE WILL MAINTAIN THAT HE IS HEALED JUST AS MUCH AS HE DOES THAT HE IS FORGIVEN, GOD WILL CONFIRM THE HEALING JUST AS HE DOES FORGIVENESS OF SINS. THIS FACT CANNOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED, AS HEALING DEPENDS MUCH ON THIS FIRM STAND THAT PRAYER HAS BEEN HEARD AND ANSWERED. IF YOU WANT THE BENEFITS OF THE GOSPEL, DO WHAT IS REQUIRED TO GET THESE BENEFITS, AND YOU WILL NOT FAIL TO GET THEM.

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE BENEFITS ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL UNTIL YOU MEET THESE CONDITIONS. ARE THE BENEFITS WORTH THE EFFORTS IN MEETING THE CONDITIONS? IF THEY ARE, THEN DO AS YOU ARE INSTRUCTED. IF THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE EFFORT TO BELIEVE GOD WITHOUT A WAVER, THEN DO NOT FRET BECAUSE YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU WANT. YOU CANNOT EXPECT GOD TO BE A RESPECTER OF PERSONS AND GIVE YOU THESE BENEFITS WHEN YOU FAIL TO DO AS HE REQUIRES. HE IS NOT THAT KIND OF GOD, AND HE WILL NOT BREAK HIS LAWS FOR ANYONE. HE KNOWS THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL CAN, IF HE WILL, CHOOSE TO MEET THE CONDITIONS OF UNWAVERING FAITH. DO ‘NOT BABY YOURSELF ANY LONGER OR COMPLAIN THAT IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE. THIS VERY ATTITUDE IS SINFUL, AND YOU SHOULD ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU FOR BELIEVING LIES AND SATAN IN PREFERENCE TO TRUTH AND GOD. AS LONG AS YOU COOPERATE WITH SATAN AND ALLOW UNBELIEF, YOU CANNOT COOPERATE WITH GOD AND EXERCISE TRUE FAITH. ONE CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS OR HAVE FAITH AND UNBELIEF IN HIS LIFE AT THE SAME TIME (MATT. 6:24; JAMES 1:4-8).

3. QUIT PRAYING “IF IT BE THY WILL”:

AS WE HAVE SEEN , IT IS GOD’S WILL TO HEAL, BECAUSE HE HAS DEFINITELY PROMISED TO HEAL ALL WHO COME TO HIM IN FAITH. LET THIS BE SETTLED ONCE AND FOREVER AND NEVER AGAIN QUESTION GOD OR MAKE HIM A LIAR BY SAYING, “IF IT BE THY WILL.” SINCE HE HAS PROMISED HEALING, IT IS SINFUL AND CONTRARY TO HIS WORD AND WILL TO PRAY THIS WAY. ONE SHOULD GO TO GOD IN ABSOLUTE UNWAVERING FAITH FOR THOSE THINGS THAT HE HAS PROMISED. HE SHOULD NEVER QUESTION THE WILL OF GOD AT ALL CONCERNING WHAT HE HAS PROMISED. TO DO SO IS TO MAKE HIM A LIAR BY LETTING HIM KNOW THAT WE KNOW THAT HE HAS PROMISED, BUT WE DO NOT BELIEVE IT, OR WE DOUBT WHAT HE HAS SAID AND WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS. IT IS HIS WILL TO GIVE WHAT HE HAS PROMISED OR HE WOULD NOT HAVE MADE HIS WILL KNOWN BY THE PROMISES.

GOD WILL ANSWER ANYONE WHO WILL QUIT DOUBTING HIS WORD AND WILL AND WHO WILL PRAY IN FAITH ACCORDING TO THE PROMISES.

4. WHOLLY TRUST GOD IN SICKNESS AND ADVERSITY:

THE BIBLE SAYS, “CURSED BE THE MAN THAT TRUSTETH IN MAN, AND MAKETH FLESH HIS ARM, AND WHOSE HEART DEPARTETH FROM THE LORD. . . HE SHALL BE LIKE THE HEATH IN THE DESERT. . . BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT TRUSTETH IN THE LORD, AND WHOSE HOPE THE LORD IS . . . HE SHALL BE AS A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS . . . AND SHALL NOT SEE WHEN HEAT COMETH, BUT HER LEAF SHALL BE GREEN [SHALL HAVE HEALTH] . . . NEITHER SHALL CEASE FROM YIELDING FRUIT” (JER. 17:5-10. SEE ALSO PROV. 3:5-8; 2 CHRON. 16:12-14; 2 KINGS 1:1-17; MARK 5:25-34).

5. OBEY GOD AND HIS WORD:

“MY SON, FORGET NOT MY LAW; BUT LET THINE HEART KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS: FOR LENGTH OF DAYS, AND LONG LIFE, AND PEACE, SHALL THEY ADD TO THEE” (PROV. 3:1-8); “ATTEND TO MY WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS . . . FOR THEY ARE LIFE UNTO THOSE THAT FIND THEM, AND HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH” (PROV. 2:1-5; 3:13-24; 4:20-23) “IF YE ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YE SHALL ASK WHAT YE WILL, AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU” (JOHN 15:7; 1 JOHN 3:21-22; 5:14-15. SEE ALSO EX. 15:26; DEUT. 4:40; 7:12-15; 28:1-62; 30:1-20; PS. 105:37; 107:20).

6. MAKE PEACE WITH FELLOW MEN:

“WHEN YE STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, IF YE HAVE OUGHT AGAINST ANY: THAT YOUR FATHER ALSO WHICH IS IN HEAVEN MAY FORGIVE YOU YOUR TRESPASSES” (MARK 11:22-26); “CONFESS YOUR FAULTS ONE TO ANOTHER, AND PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER, THAT YE MAY BE HEALED” (JAMES 5:14-16).

7. CALL CHURCH ELDERS AND BELIEVE IN THEIR PRAYERS:

“IS ANY SICK AMONG YOU? LET HIM CALL FOR THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH; AND LET THEM PRAY OVER HIM, ANOINTING HIM WITH OIL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD: AND THE PRAYER OF FAITH SHALL SAVE THE SICK” (JAMES 5:14-16); “THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, AND THEY SHALL RECOVER” (MARK 16:17-20).

THOUSANDS OF MINISTERS TODAY CAN TESTIFY OF MIRACULOUS HEALINGS IN THEIR MINISTRY IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE OBEYED JAMES AND CALLED FOR PRAYER. MULTIPLIED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE BEING HEALED EVERY DAY BY OBEYING THIS DIVINE PRESCRIPTION. IN ALMOST EVERY CHURCH THERE ARE MANY WITNESSES TO THE POWER OF GOD TO HEAL THE BODY BY FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. IF HEALINGS ARE NOT BEING PERFORMED IN YOUR CHURCH PERHAPS YOU NEED TO FIND ANOTHER CHURCH.

8. CONTROL THE TONGUE:

THE MOUTH OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS A WELL OF LIFE. . . THERE IS THAT SPEAKETH LIKE THE PIERCINGS OF A SWORD; BUT THE TONGUE OF THE WISE IS HEALTH. . . HE THAT KEEPETH HIS MOUTH KEEPETH HIS LIFE; BUT HE THAT OPENETH WIDE HIS LIPS SHALL HAVE DESTRUCTION. . . A WHOLESOME TONGUE IS A TREE OF LIFE . . . PLEASANT WORDS ARE AS AN HONEYCOMB, SWEET TO THE SOUL, AND HEALTH TO THE BONES. . . DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE” (PROV. 10:12; 12:18; 13:3; 15:4; 16:24; 18:21).

“WHAT MAN IS HE THAT DESIRETH LIFE, AND LOVETH MANY DAYS, THAT HE MAY SEE GOOD. KEEP THY TONGUE FROM EVIL, AND THY LIPS FROM SPEAKING GUILE” (PS. 34:13-14; 1 PET. 3:10-11; JAMES 3). IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT NINE TIMES OUT OF ELEVEN PLAGUES UPON ISRAEL, AS RECORDED IN NUMBERS ALONE, WERE CAUSED BY THE MISUSE OF THE TONGUE (NUM. 11:1-3, 33-35; 12:1-16; 13:26-33; 14:1-37; 16:1-50; 21:5).

9. LIVE IN GOD AND UNDER HIS PROTECTION:

“HE THAT DWELLETH [REMAINS, SETTLES DOWN, OR TAKES UP A HOMESTEAD] IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW [DEFENSE, PROTECTION] OF THE ALMIGHTY. . . I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS: MY GOD; IN HIM WILL I TRUST. SURELY HE SHALL DELIVER THEE FROM THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER, AND FROM THE NOISOME PESTILENCE. HE SHALL COVER THEE WITH HIS FEATHERS . . . HIS TRUTH SHALL BE THY SHIELD AND BUCKLER. THOU SHALT NOT BE AFRAID FOR THE TERROR BY NIGHT; NOR FOR THE ARROW THAT FLIETH BY DAY; NOR FOR THE PESTILENCE THAT WALKETH IN DARKNESS; NOR FOR THE DESTRUCTION THAT WASTETH AT NOONDAY. A THOUSAND SHALL FALL AT THY SIDE, AND TEN THOUSAND AT THY RIGHT HAND; BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NIGH THEE.. . THERE SHALL NO EVIL BEFALL THEE, NEITHER SHALL ANY PLAGUE COME NIGH THY DWELLING. FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER THEE, TO KEEP THEE IN ALL THY WAYS. THEY SHALL BEAR THEE UP IN THEIR HANDS, LEST THOU DASH THY FOOT AGAINST A STONE. THOU SHALT TREAD UPON THE LION AND ADDER; THE YOUNG LION AND THE DRAGON SHALT THOU TRAMPLE UNDER FEET… HE SHALL CALL UPON ME, AND I WILL ANSWER HIM: I WILL BE WITH HIM IN TROUBLE; I WILL DELIVER HIM AND HONOUR HIM. WITH LONG LIFE WILL I SATISFY HIM, AND SHEW HIM MY SALVATION” (PS. 91).

10. PRAISE GOD IN FAITH FOR HEALING:

DAVID SAID, “BLESS THE LORD, 0 MY SOUL: AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME . . . FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS: WHO FORGIVETH ALL THINE INIQUITIES; WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES” (PS. 103:1-5). IT IS WRITTEN OF ABRAHAM, “HE STAGGERED NOT AT THE PROMISE OF GOD THROUGH UNBELIEF; BUT WAS STRONG IN FAITH, GIVING GLORY TO GOD; AND BEING FULLY PERSUADED THAT, WHAT HE HAD PROMISED, HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM. AND THEREFORE IT WAS IMPUTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (ROM. 4:17-22; HEB. 11:11-12). PAUL SAID, “BE CAREFUL [ANXIOUS] FOR NOTHING; BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN UNTO GOD” (PHIL. 4:5-6; HEB. 13:15-16).

11. SERVE GOD IN HOLINESS AS EARNESTLY AS YOU SOUGHT HIM:

“AS YE HAVE THEREFORE RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS THE LORD, SO WALK YE IN HIM; ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN HIM, AND STABLISHED IN THE FAITH, AS YE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, ABOUNDING THEREIN WITH THANKSGIVING” (COL. 2:6-7); “SIN NO MORE, LEST A WORSE THING COME UNTO THEE. – . NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, AND SIN NO MORE” (JOHN 5:14; 8:11); “IF OUR HEART CONDEMN US NOT, THEN HAVE WE CONFIDENCE TOWARD GOD. AND WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE RECEIVE OF HIM, BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT” (1 JOHN 3:21-22; 5:14-15). IF ONE WANTS TO KEEP HIS HEALING, LET HIM KEEP HIS FAITH, LIVE FREE FROM SIN, AND RESIST THE DEVIL WHO WILL TRY TO BRING BACK THE SICKNESS (JAMES 4:7; 1 PET. 5:8-9).

12. APPROPRIATE THE BENEFITS OF CALVARY:

WHOSOEVER SHALL EAT THIS BREAD, AND DRINK THIS CUP OF THE LORD, UNWORTHILY, SHALL BE GUILTY OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD. HE THAT EATETH AND DRINKETH UNWORTHILY, EATETH AND DRINKETH DAMNATION TO HIMSELF, NOT DISCERNING [COMPREHENDING THE BENEFITS BY FAITH OF] THE LORD’S BODY. FOR THIS CAUSE MANY ARE WEAK AND SICKLY AMONG YOU, AND MANY SLEEP” (1 COR. 11:27-30); “WHAT THINGS SOEVER YE DESIRE, WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YE RECEIVE THEM, AND YE SHALL HAVE THEM” (MARK 11:24).

13. RESIST THE DEVIL, REFUSE TO BE DENIED:

“RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. DRAW NIGHT TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU” (JAMES 4:7-8); “THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT. SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: WHOM RESIST STEADFAST IN THE FAITH” (1 PET. 5:5-10. SEE ALSO EPH. 6:10-18; 2 COR. 10:4-7).

14. OBSERVE THE LAWS OF GOD AND OF NATURE:

THE BODY IS GOD’S HOUSE AS WELL AS OUR OWN. IT BELONGS TO GOD AND NOT TO US; “KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? FOR YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE: THEREFORE, GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY, AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD’S” (1 COR. 6:19-20). AS IT IS GOD’S HOUSE, WE ARE FORBIDDEN TO MAR IT, TO DEFILE IT, OR TO ABUSE IT (1 COR. 3:16-17; 6:19-20).

COMMON SENSE TELLS US THAT GOD CAN GET MORE GLORY OUT OF A BODY THAT IS WELL AND STRONG BECAUSE A PERSON WITH SUCH A BODY HAS COMPLETE USE OF ALL HIS FACULTIES. A RUGGED CONSTITUTION, A KEEN, ALERT MIND, AND UNIMPAIRED MORAL AND SPIRITUAL FACULTIES ARE NECESSARY IF ONE IS TO FULLY GLORIFY GOD IN THE BODY AND SPIRIT. WE CAN GLORIFY GOD BEST BY BEARING MUCH FRUIT (JOHN 15:8). TO BEAR MUCH AND GOOD FRUIT THE TREE OR VINE MUST BE HEALTHY AND NORMALLY FREE FROM DISEASE AND THINGS THAT CAUSE FRUIT TO BECOME FAULTY (MATT. 3:10; 7:16-20). SO IT IS WITH A CHRISTIAN.

IF GOD CAN GET SOME GLORY OUT OF LIVES THAT ARE HINDERED BY PHYSICAL HANDICAPS, HOW MUCH MORE GLORY COULD HE GET OUT OF THE SAME PEOPLE IF THEY DID NOT HAVE SUCH HANDICAPS? NATURALLY, ANYONE WITH SOME PHYSICAL HANDICAP CAN DO SOMETHING, BUT HE COULD DO MORE IF HE DID NOT HAVE SUCH PHYSICAL DEFECTS.

EVERY PERSON WHO WANTS HEALTH SHOULD SEE TO IT THAT HE GETS THE PROPER FOOD AND EATS IT IN THE RIGHT WAY AND IN PROPER AMOUNTS FROM DAY TO DAY. HE SHOULD WEAR WARM CLOTHES AND NOT EXPOSE HIS BODY TO COLD FOR THE SAKE OF SOME STYLE. HE SHOULD TAKE PLENTY OF EXERCISE AND LIVE IN THE OPEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. HE SHOULD SLEEP IN WELL VENTILATED ROOMS WITH PLENTY OF FRESH AIR. HE SHOULD SEE TO IT THAT THE HOME GETS PLENTY OF FRESH AIR THROUGH THE DAY AND EACH ROOM GETS AS MUCH OF SUNSHINE AS POSSIBLE. HE SHOULD HAVE CLEAN HABITS, BATHE OFTEN, AND KEEP HIS TEETH IN GOOD SHAPE. HE SHOULD NOT OVERWORK OR ABUSE ANY PART OF HIS BODY. HE SHOULD TAKE PLENTY OF REST AND KEEP FREE FROM ALL WORRY AND ANXIETY. HE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO CARE FOR HIS BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT, ACCORDING TO THE BEST KNOWLEDGE HE HAS, AND HE CAN HAVE LONG LIFE AND HAPPINESS.

TO BE HEALTHY ONE MUST CONTROL THE MIND AND THOUGHTS. UNCLEAN THINKING, READING OF NOVELS AND LOVE STORIES FILLED WITH IMMORAL SUGGESTIONS, ADMIRING OBSCENE PICTURES, DANCING, KISSING, CARESSING. TEASING, FONDLING, SPOONING, SECRET SINS, DISSIPATION, DRINKING, SMOKING, HATRED, ANGER, WORRY, WRONG EATING, LITTLE SLEEP, OVERWORK, LACK OF EXERCISE, LAZINESS, AND OTHER BAD HABITS WEAKEN THE WILL AND UNDERMINE THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND MORAL HEALTH. JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED WHOLESOME LIVING WILL CREATE LIFE AND ENERGY, VITALIZE THE BLOOD, GIVE ELASTICITY AND STRENGTH TO THE MUSCLES, AND BUILD UP PHYSICAL HEALTH, BODILY STRENGTH, AND PERSONAL MAGNETISM, BEAUTY, AND CHARM.

15. WHAT THE WORLD DOES TO MAINTAIN HEALTH:

ALL GOVERNMENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS REQUIRE PHYSICAL FITNESS. THEY HAVE CERTAIN STANDARDS OF FITNESS FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES AND MAKE PROVISION THAT IT BE KEPT UP TO THE HIGHEST PEAK OF EFFICIENCY. THEY DEMAND THAT THE LEAST ACCIDENT OR SICKNESS BE REPORTED AND EVERY SORE, ILLNESS, COLD, ETC., BE TAKEN CARE OF AT ONCE IN ORDER TO CHECK ANY FURTHER LAYOFF OR SPREAD OF THE TROUBLE TO OTHERS. IN EVERY FACTORY AND PUBLIC PLACE WE READ SIGNS SUCH AS “BE CAREFUL,” “WATCH THAT COLD,” “DON’T EXPOSE YOUR BODY,” “TAKE EXERCISE,” ETC. MANY FIRMS PROVIDE THEIR EMPLOYEES CERTAIN PLACES FOR RECREATION AND EXERCISE ON THEIR OWN TIME. LAWS ARE MADE IN EVERY CITY AND STATE WHICH REQUIRE PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR MARRIAGE, OR FOR CERTAIN PUBLIC POSITIONS. FREE CLINICS, MEDICINE, ADVICE, ETC., ARE PROVIDED FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD WHAT THEY NEED TO PRESERVE THEIR HEALTH. PARENTS WILL SPEND THEIR ALL AND SACRIFICE EVERYTHING IN LIFE TO SEE THAT THEIR CHILDREN HAVE THE BEST OF PHYSICAL CARE AND PROTECTION. THEY WOULD HEAL THEIR OWN CHILDREN IN A SECOND IF POSSIBLE. PRACTICALLY EVERY HUMAN BEING WOULD MAKE SOME SACRIFICE TO SEE THEIR FELLOW MEN HEALED AND ENJOY GOOD HEALTH. MEN CAN FIGHT AND HATE EACH OTHER, BUT WHEN SICKNESS OR DEATH COMES, THE SAME MEN WOULD AID THEIR ENEMIES TO GET WELL OR HAVE A DECENT BURIAL IF THEY DIE. EVEN MOST ANIMALS TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN AND DO EVERY CONCEIVABLE THING TO PROLONG THE LIFE AND WELFARE OF THEIR OWN.

16. DOES GOD CARE AND MAKE PROVISION FOR HEALTH?

IS GOD THE ONLY BEING IN THE UNIVERSE THAT LOVES TO SEE HIS OWN CHILDREN, HIS OWN CREATION, HIS OWN WORKERS, AND THOSE WHOM HE PROFESSES TO LOVE TO BE SICKLY, PUNY, TIRED, WORN, AND GOOD FOR NOTHING PHYSICALLY? IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES TO SEE PAIN AND DISEASE IN HIS OWN CREATION? IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS NOT PROVIDED FOR THE PHYSICAL WELFARE OF HIS OWN? IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHO GLOATS OVER THE HANDICAPS OF HIS CHILDREN AND DESIRES THEM TO BE DISEASED SO THAT HE CAN BE BEST GLORIFIED BY SEEING THEM SICK? IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHO PREFERS SICKNESS TO HEALTH; WHO WOULD NOT HEAL HIS CHILDREN WHEN THEY GET SICK; WHO CHASTENS HIS CHILDREN BY CAUSING THEIR LUNGS TO BE EATEN UP BY DISEASE, THEIR LIMBS TO ROT OFF, THEIR LIVES TO LINGER BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH IN THE MOST INTENSE INHUMAN SUFFERING FOR YEARS UPON YEARS, AND THEIR LIVES TO BE DESTROYED BY THE ENEMIES OF BOTH GOD AND MAN; WHO WOULD MAKE A CREATION ONLY TO LET IT END IN SUFFERING AND DEFEAT AND TO DIE PREMATURELY AS MANIFEST ON EVERY HAND; AND WHO WILLS THESE SIN-CURSED, DISEASE-DESTROYING AGENCIES TO TAKE THEIR TOLL OF LIFE AND TO CUT OFF MEN BEFORE THEY FINISH THEIR LIFE WORK? IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES NOT DEMAND A HIGH STANDARD OF PHYSICAL FITNESS AND EFFICIENCY AMONG HIS WORKERS? IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHOSE HIGHEST WILL IS MANIFEST BY THE SUFFERINGS, SICKNESSES, AND HELPLESS CONDITIONS OF HIS PEOPLE ? IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GET THE BEST GLORY OUT OF PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE PHYSICALLY, MORALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY DEPRIVED OF THEIR NORMAL CREATIVE FUNCTIONS ? AWAY WITH SUCH SLANDEROUS CONCEPTS OF GOD! HE IS NOT THIS KIND OF BEING.

THE BIBLE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT IT IS GOD’S HIGHEST WILL FOR ALL MEN TO “PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH” (3 JOHN 2). THE BLAME FOR WRONG CONCEPTS OF GOD IS ENTIRELY UPON MAN AND THE ENEMIES OF BOTH GOD AND MAN. INSTEAD OF MEETING THE CONDITIONS OF THE GOSPEL TO RECEIVE HEALING AND STAY HEALED, MAN CONTINUES TO BREAK THE LAWS OF GOD AND NATURE AND LIVE IN UNBELIEF AND REJECTION OF GOD’S WAY OF HEALING AND HEALTH IN CHRIST. THE SENSIBLE THING TO DO IS TO LEARN THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE AND REMOVE IT AND KEEP THE CAUSE REMOVED; THEN ONE CAN BE HEALED AND STAY HEALED.

John 10:10

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
