The new listeners and welcome to the sound they share not thanking you for tuning in today because we know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Today's message is very important and pertinent to anyone who has struggled with the need of physical healing. This message is not something I read about or heard about the one I have lived through and still apply every day for my own physical healing walking and healing by love.

When we built up on preaching, but we need a Bible reading whatever or MP3 and listen to them and builds her face up with a good report you're taking your spiritual calcium and your spiritual vitamin D in vitamin K and boron are important, you have strong healthy bones. Amen. And if you will do that you are going to find out that you are not going to be coming under those sicknesses and diseases amen wear and tear. This body is not be changed.

It's getting older and if things happen as you get older things wear out, and when they wear out gives sometimes things go wrong and in cells go crazy and mutate and all of that. But I'm talking about what we can control quickly turned over to the book of Job. I want to show you something interesting in the book of Job, Job 2123 one dies in his full strength being wholly at ease and quiet. All wow that's the way a Christian should go. Being wholly at ease and quiet.

Or being peaceful. Verse 24 goes on to say, his breasts are full of milk and is bones are moistened with marrow but another dies in the bitterness of his soul, and never eats with pleasure. Now think about this. He's contrasting Robert to die. How many know that if Jesus comes in the rapture, then we won't die. We will be caught up in be changed, but if he doesn't come in our lifetimes were all going to die. I want to be like the first guy or the first lady.

Amen. I want to had my breasts full of milk and were not talking here now literally about of a lactating mother with child.

We are talking about. It is a metaphor for good health.

That's what it means that I thought for good health. So this one dies with his or whatever the case may be, with a small amount are moistened is moistened. Amen. They've got a line when bitterness and envy and seek their healthy they die from natural causes. Amen.

The body wears out. It's their time, but they die full of peace and tranquility. That's a beautiful way. Amen they die, and they've got dressed in their sole director ease.

I have stood at the bedside of those who were ready to go to heaven. Children of God, and there was just a spirit of peace. There and what I did was just read to them out of the book of Revelation were there. Get ready to go to the city of God. What it looked like and no more tears and no more death. You know it was you know, like a sister wanting when I went to see her just right before she died, and I sing that song where the roses never fade. I'm going to a city where the roses never fade and she had been totally oblivious to anybody being there. She didn't recognize anybody. Murph didn't think she recognized him. Did you mark you you you weren't sure didn't seem like she did, she kept her head turned one way to sort of look with a glazed look in her eye and Murph happened to be standing there when the side that she was looking at. So I'm on the other side. Now she's looking away from me and I start singing the song where the roses never fade. I felt led to do it. My heck if they don't sing a song yet. This is you want to sing the song you kissing is a crime or sing a song because it won't stop telling me to sing and I don't claim to be a singer by any means and I just felt led to sing and I sang it and I'm not exaggerating. Murph is here to be my witness. She turned her head and looked straight in my eyes. It was a purposeful move and then as we were leaving twice. She tried she had had a stroke and she was not able to use her limbs, but she tried twice to raise her hand off the bed. She got about that hi tell us goodbye and to see a child of God who's ready to step in that portal of glory that I told you about a few weeks ago but I've also stood at the bedside of someone who had never surrendered to the Lord and not only that they had opened their home up to the demonic. By letting fortuneteller come in there and do a séance and was a neighbor. So I felt compelled out of decency to go and see him and when I tried to tell him you know, let me pray for you. I don't believe that stuff and he was jerkin jerkin and doing all this. It was also to stand there and the next day he died.

All let me tell you something when you walk in the love of God when you walk in God's peace when it's your time to go. Amen. You're going to go with the peace of God upon your life.

And then if you've said goodbye to loved ones to say goodbye. But you knew that you knew that you will see them again. They were stepping in that portal of glory.

So the difference between one or the other. This is what what we were in Proverbs. This is what he said three and seven. He says don't be wise in your own eyes, but fear the Lord and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones, your navel, what is that we don't talk about our belly buttons much. I don't think we pay much attention to whom we don't think about them, but the navel is where the umbilical cord connected the baby to the mother and that's where the baby was getting the nutrients and the lines. Amen. Only once the baby is outside of the mother cannot cord because – as the lights. He says it's going to be health to your navel.

It's good to be like this would be marrow to your bones. Amen. And that's what we want, you know, II just mentioned it in passing last week, so I'll just mention it quickly and passing.

You can read Isaiah 58 where God said, if you will stop pointing your finger at people and if you will stop speaking vain words that he says your health is going to break forth, being only the blessings of God are going to break out on you speedily. Amen.

But what about those people that are hard like that. Like my neighbor. I just described to you a moment ago you know there's a story in the Bible. Let me paraphrase it quickly. The man's name was Nabel and you know what his name means. It means full LOL he was a full he was very rich he had much Catalan course back then. That's how they determine their wealth through their cattle. He had thousands of cattle and thousands of sheep and of course when you have a lot of sheet they have to be taken where they can get enough grass to be fed course had hired men who would take the sheep out and then once a year.

The sheep have to be sure it's great to be a shepherd and, in the sense that you fear the sheep you get the money from the wool and you still got the sheet so it was hearing time and they were his men had their sheep out there. It happened to be in the same area were David who at the time was running for his life from King Saul was trying to murder him and David had picked up along his way 600 men and these men were the outcasts. The ragtag men that nobody wanted to be with, but they were loyal to David and David love them and they were out there and they came upon Nabel's men with the sheep and what they began to do was at nighttime, they would surround them to protect them because of course they're going to be thieves and marauders. Those who want to come and steal the sheep of David's men doing them service protecting them every night from thieves and marauders now when it was all over with David sent one to his men to ask Nabel saying we protected your sheet.

We protected her men and we would like to ask of you. I have 600 men.

They need food, would you be so kind as to feed my men now. First of all, Eastern hospitality would require to do that that those people were just hospitable.

Amen. But this man rose up ugly and need and he said who is David well, everybody in Israel who David was.

He was the giant slayer. He was a hero who took down Goliath, but he was being sarcastic and mean he would not do it and so David, when the work came back David on one of his few times that his temper almost made him's in and call the catastrophe. He said well after was a good way. Did the hand well were going after him were going to kill the whole bunch of them and news.the David and his men were on their way and was going to be bad when they got there.

Well this navel. Believe it or not, was married to a beautiful woman named Abigail. The Bible says she was both smart wise and beautiful. What a catch. So you're thinking to yourself, or how in the name of heaven. Did this mean, nasty man get such a beautiful wife. Well, he was rich, which meant he could pay a big fat bride price to Abigail's father. So Miguel, here's what's happening. She quickly gets her servant and gets a lot of food and she goes to meet David and when she gets to where David is. She apologizes for her wicked husband. She apologizes for how he acted and said if I had known the unity food. I would've taken care of it and here I'm a blessing you I'm giving you this to she goes home. Her husband Nabel is in a drunken stupor.

She just leave them alone. The next morning he sober he wants to know what's going on where she's been, so she told him how that she went to placate David as if she didn't, they were all going to be killed. He went into a rage of temper and when he did. The Bible says his heart turned to stone.

Another words, he had a major heart attack and 10 days later he was dead because he had this anger problem because when people become angry.

Your blood pressure goes up your pulse goes up your muscles intensify.

Amen. And when that happens it affects your lungs and your breathing. Amen. Being angry person all the time will do you great harm. Chronic anger will do even greater harm. Amen.

Because your body is always in that worked up moved coming on telling the truth. You know when you get angry you figure it easier to big and on appeared a start bulging out take your blood pressure then see what it is. Amen.

The Bible says in Proverbs 27, 31, that anger is like carrying around a heavy stone or a bag of sand. Johns Hopkins did a study on how that the immune system is affected by anger and they specifically did it on men, and they found that it contributes to heart attacks in men in a fit of anger. The body secretes negative chemicals and it takes 24 hours for them to subside. So if you're angry every day in your angry all the time that your body is constantly under that harmful pressure and it was chemicals being secreted in your body. Amen. It's happening all the time. So if you're angry person and believe you me, there are many, many verses in Proverbs a talk about anger over a dozen get your concordance and look up anger and and related words and one of them is a man of great wrath shall suffer punishment for if you deliver him yet. You must do it again. Another words a person is not an angry disposition. You know they blowout they have a problem. You step in, you fix it you get all calm down you you work it out. And guess what they'll do it all over again, you work with people like that and you are always stepping in to smooth things over. You're always trying to blame either not been the waiter acting kind of people no matter how many times into the step and again and again have a problem with a bad temper. Amen. Schmidt job because people are not put up with that all the time. Marriages break up because every time that has been a fit of anger, and any name and start to become violent and woman were taken so many times that one day something clicked and she says he's never going to change anything relating it always does escalate when there's when their spousal abuse if they don't get help. It will only escalate.

Amen.

And then we see on the news that he walked in on the job and shot his wife on the job. Amen. That anger that seeding in there so it's causing the body to be in a perpetual day of this muscles being tight you know and all of this is going on. It's a perpetual state and the antidote to that they want the antidote I want to give that to you in a moment. Now last week I told you about animal go through it about how that I had so much impression on me that I was walking around the house. Once, remember I told you that because I felt like a weight was on my chest. Well, another thing that was taking place in my body was. I didn't realize it at the time I was walking around all the time with my jaws clenched all the time even when I slept at night, my jaws were always constant didn't know I was doing it when you this doesn't sound very pretty but I was one of those people that when I slept I slept I not been demonstrated but I slept with my mouth wide open coming others people to sleep with her mouth open. That means you are totally relaxed. I thought to hand you people are not fooling me. I know better. I'm saying this when you sleep with your mouth open. It means you are totally saving God. But you see, I didn't realize I wasn't sleeping with my mouth open anymore.

I had my jaws clenched knowing that I was sleeping in a fetal position on my thigh initially had my arm started like this in my chest and I was how I slept all the time because I was in so much pain and I was all mental and emotional things I was going through all the time. That's the way that I slept and it was a vicious cycle that I was going through now. At the time, we still had the campgrounds down in Franklin, Maryland. The Masters retreat, remember that. And this was after I hurt my back was still had down there for two years and one night after church. After the service everybody when you go out to Denny's to eat normally I wouldn't go after that I just had to get in bed but I went I don't know what we got going, I don't know what we talked about.

I'm sure Shirley will not remember this because it probably didn't mean anything to her, but we got downright silly Shirley and me and Danny we were so silly and we were cracking up laughing I was laughing and laughing from my family and I had not asked in so long and I strongly had left like that. I just did not laugh like that.

I was laughing.

I felt my face tingling getting warm and tingly.

I begin to feel just going all over it. I thought this is wonderful. It was a beautiful feeling. It felt so good in sunlight and the pain was like it wasn't there because of just letting loose and letting me like that the Scriptures know what it's talking about when and amen because the dog things for your physical body you know when the children missile got out of the computer what they said they said that our mouth was filled with laughter. That was one of the first things they testify and they said we were saying with sound like we were enjoying Wakeling so much, and that's what God did for me that night and laughing relaxes tight muscles and all the muscles in my back were always in spasm.

I had learned to pick my fights with my kids because every time that I would have to get into a confrontation and start in a hot anatomy disciplining them away my pain would go to the roof so I learned to stay away from arguments, fights, strife.

I would get on the phone at people started going down that I said I gotta go, because it only made my pain worse and I was looking for ways to get out of paying and so laughter is one of the ways you can do it. Here's what laughter will do for you. Think about this.

You got to people one on either side their time to pick up a heavy heavy box and bring it over here raise it up but it will dispute so they both have an end and they got up in the air and on the right and somebody says or does something funny and they start laughing.

What will they do, they'll put they'll drop that box. You know why it's impossible for them to keep carrying it. You know why all of the major muscles here that they need have now because of laughter they have relaxed and they physically cannot carry that box and keep laughing hard. Now let's take that in the spirit, if you got a heavy load that the enemy is trying to put on you or you have a heavy load that right now there's nothing you can do about it. You gotta carry it amen is something that's coming to your life but you know what, if you will let the joy of the Lord that you and the spirit of God upon you strengthens your immune system because when you you produce immunoglobulin and is one of your body's defenses against upper respiratory disease. If you have asthma, bronchitis, anything to do with your long you need to start getting a lot of things going on and make you laugh, you need to laugh your way into health. Amen.

And it will help the those things because it improves your circulation and causes more oxygen to go to. And last but not least, remember how I said I always felt like my chest was so tight and heavy. Think how many I felt your chest when you're under pressure. There is a reason for that right here you have what is called thymus gland. It's located at the upper chest and it's a major gland that contributes to the well-being of the immune system when we are stressed out, it actually shrinks and when it shrinks you get the tightness in your chest you feel that there is literally something that you're feeling because the thymus gland is shrinking from all of the pressure and the stress that's on your body.

When we asked the thymus gland begins to produce good hormones that strengthen our immune system and makes us feel good.

Amen. And then we get to laughing, the brain begins to release endorphins you heard of them having to endorphins make you feel happy make you feel you ever took in the wound. Amen.

Endorphins not only when you get those endorphins that are nature's painkillers. Lord causes you know me know a good massage feels good.

Laughter massages your internal organs.

All of these things and it will make you feel happy and hopeful and light, but somebody here might be saying Sr. Sharon I get everything you said it all makes sense to me but I just don't feel like laughing when I'm going through right now. I just don't feel like laughing.

Well you know what my advice to you is fake. It till you make it medically because the Lamb down here once you trigger it with laughing.

It's just a stupid muscle. It doesn't know if it's a real laugh and once you wait and you and you spelled that right here. Amen. You think you going to stop everything was continuing but you just something there and thank you.

You can when you amen when you ate what insightful and invaluable work for us today walking in healing by love. You know that in the book of acts the Chronicle of the early church. The term love is not used once.

However, the terms in one accord and in one mind are found 13 times in the first few chapters you see was not necessary to have to keep talking about love. When they were all walking in love is great teaching of the gifts of the spirit. At first Corinthians 12, and 14 Paul stopped midstream to write chapter 13 on the role of love in the operation of the gifts he made it clear that unless love is the motivator for the gifts I am nothing.

I conveyed nothing and I gain nothing, not even mountain losing faith can operate fully without love, because this is the key to getting healed and stayed healed.

Faith works by love, Paul concluded that there now abides faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love because love never fails. But without love, say sales and hope dies. This is why it is impossible to walk in faith and not walk in love and it is why some Christians do not receive their healing and or keep it walking in love is both vertical and horizontal. When we know how much God loves us.

We believe his word to heal us and we don't allow fear to paralyze our faith because perfect love casts out fear. We must also walk in love towards others in the body of Christ.

So if you have done all you can do to purify and strengthen your faith and you feel your faith is rising, and yet still you have not received your healing. It's time to check your loved one where there was bitterness criticism judgment Elizabeth jealousy a lack of faith is not the problem, but a lack of love. I learned all these things on my journey to healing that I still must apply every day in this groundbreaking teaching is a two CD set can be ordered from love gift of $15 or more for the radio ministry to order walking in healing by love failed to sound the faith PO Box 1744, Baltimore, MD 21234 shop online and sound the faith that is also available on MP3s next time.
