Spiritual Healing - God is the Divine Healer; He Does Not Will Us to Suffer

Doctors have not had an eternal viewpoint of life. Doctors don't even understand the mechanisms of many drugs. What they do know is from observing the effect they have on the disease. Sometimes it's a placebo effect. The medicine worked because the patient BELIEVED it would work. Despite the debate about doctors using spiritual healing only as an accessory to medicine, there is growing evidence that contemplative prayer and meditation calm the mind and boost the immune system. Prayer and meditation can lower blood pressure and decrease stress. This appears to prove that the power of prayer can enhance to skills of the physician or surgeon.

Science has proven that every cell contains the knowledge of mankind throughout history. So, it goes to reason that would include the knowledge of Christ, Buddha, Ala, and all the Saints. Can we not call on this knowledge for the miracles for which they are acclaimed? "Ask and ye shall receive: it is rendered unto you according to your faith." Physicians tell you to get well. Spirit also wants to be your healer. Reality may break your mind or your body, but Spirit whispers, "Continue your journey and give tomorrow a chance to dawn."

God is the Devine Healer; He does not will us to suffer. God's wish is for us to be whole. Does God love us any less than our earthly fathers? What father does not wish the best for his child? Would not an earthly father wish for his child to be whole? Treatment must treat the whole. The fragmented self is often the cause of dis -ease and wholeness may reduce suffering even when the patient is terminal. "Then your light shall break forth like the dawn and your healing shall spring up quickly." (Isaiah 58:8)

Science has demonstrated that those who engage in prayer and has a prayer support system heal at a remarkably rate and have a higher survival rate. Studies have documented that churchgoers live up to seven years longer and require much less medical intervention. A study of Hindu subjects in India found that those who prayed regularly had a 70 percent less likely to have coronary heart disease. Studies reveal those who have prayer support also respond better to required surgery. "The cosmic religious experience is the strongest and noblest driving force behind scientific research." (Albert Einstein.)

Healing is not limited to the body, but extended to he mind and the soul as well. Science may be the medicine of the body. Psychology may be the medicine of the mind. Prayer therefore is the medicine of the soul. Sometimes we forget that Man is all three: body, mind and spirit. And all three are delicately woven together by the Master. We can receive assistance in healing, no matter what form that help may take, for God is the ultimate source of all healing. God works through the healing professions and praying friends and ministers.

God created us to be whole or "Holy." Therefore, we are to nourish the positive though and actions that produce the desired results. Living in the Spirit is to live life dedicated to Devine right action. Daily dedication must be more than mere praying, for the body is the temple and were must also feed it right. The glorifying of this temple includes proper exercise and stress reduction. We must speak of this temple with great respect. "Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God...Therefore glorify God in you body." (Corinthians 6:19-20.)

Music and laughter are the medicines of the soul and very much part of our emotional and spiritual environment. Make sure the melody is one that produces a healthy inner glow and God consciousness in your heart. "A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 36:26.) Our heart beats in a rhythm with the stars, and all creatures sing his praise. There has been new research by Ashanti Movement. They slowed the sounds of various animals down; crickets song slowed to a human time frame sing Alleluia. As crickets chirp almost without ceasing, why do we not sing His glory?

In old English the word SIN was an archery term. Simply translated as "to miss the mark." Scripture states not only the forgiveness of sins: it atones to healing. We can accept part or, of the all message that God wishes for us to prosper and to be well. People perish from lack of knowledge. God has supplied us with a message; those who do not hear it miss the mark and cannot receive the His Blessing.
