DON'T MISS YOUR CALLING

"The reason (why) a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually walks around wearing overalls looking like hard work." By Thomas A. Edison. Looking at the word of God it says, “And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.” Luke 9:2

Christ established His temporary hospital on the green hill slopes of Galilee and in every other place where the sick and the suffering could be brought to Him. In every city, every town, every village through which He passed, with the tender compassion of a loving Father He laid His hand upon the afflicted ones, and made them whole. This same work He has empowered His called out church to do in our day.

At the close of His earthly ministry, when He charged His disciples with a solemn commission to go “into the entire world, and preach the gospel to every human” He declared that their ministry would receive confirmation through the restoration of the sick to health. "You shall lay hands on the sick,” He said, “and they shall recover.” Mark 16:15, 18. By healing in His name the diseases of the body, they would testify to His power for the healing of the soul.

Did he the Saviour’s commission to the disciples include all believers to the end of time? Yes, His commission is given to all the saints down to our day who are living in the end of time.

Today there is great need for the teaching of health reform, but who will pick up this work? There is greater need of understanding nature’s ways of healing, but how many people are willing to take out time to learn, so all can be helped? Health care has gone through the roof, which soon, only a few will be able to afford. At the same time, the world is full of those who need to be ministered unto—the weak, the helpless, the ignorant, and the degraded.

Who would be willing to walk into Nature's Pharmacy and ask God for wisdom to be able to help his people? God’s people are to be genuine medical missionaries. The call today is for GOD'S saints to learn how to minister to the needs of all men’s soul and body. They should learn how to give the simple natural treatments to relieve pain and remove disease. As they minister, they should be familiar with the principles of health reform, that they may show others how, by right habits of eating, drinking, dressing, and sleeping that sickness may be prevented and health regained.

Through the agencies of nature, God is working, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to keep us alive, to build up and restore us. When any part of the body sustains injury, a healing process is at once begun; nature's agencies are set at work to restore soundness. But the power working through these agencies is the power of God. All life-giving power is from Him. When one recovers from disease, it is God who restores them. 

Sickness, suffering, and death are work of an antagonistic power. Satan is the destroyer; God is the restorer. The words spoken to Israel are still true today of those who recover health of body or health of soul. “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Exodus 15:26.

The desire of God for every human being is expressed in the words, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 2.

He it is who “forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies.” Psalm 103:3, 4.

When Christ healed disease, He warned many of the afflicted ones, “Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.” John 5:14. Thus He taught that they had brought disease upon themselves by transgressing the laws of God and health laws, and that health could be preserved only by obedience to these laws.

Let it be made plain that the way of God's commandments is the way of life. God has established the laws of nature, but His laws are not arbitrary exactions. Every “Thou shalt not,” whether in physical or in moral law, implies a promise. If we obey it, blessing will attend our steps. God never forces us to do right, but He seeks to save us from the evil and lead us to the good. May the Great Physician bless everyone who goes forward with a desire to humbly and tactfully help others today. My life is blessed with some of the most amazing people. Thank you for being part of my journey. Enjoy your day.

A prayerful moment: Lord the needs are many today; please prepare me to be of better service to all. .
