Welcome to the sound again, not thinking of returning it 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 in healing by love. Now back to Exodus this summer to look at chapter 23 and will look at verse 25 and you shall serve the Lord your God, he shall bless thy bread and I water wow do we need that blessing today and I will take sickness away from the midst of the there shall nothing cast their young or be barren in thy land, the number of thy days, I will fulfill I'm claim and that one. What about you.

Amen.

So he's saying that if you will serve me on the bless your bread and water. Now if that was important to them.

It is a thousand times is important to us today because we are now just beginning to wake up and realize that since the 19 for these our foods had been radically changed. They're not just coming you know from a nice little farm somewhere to the store. The farms now have a genetically engineered seed to grow the crops. Amen in order for them to keep turning over many many different crops because you don't still plant this plant and this is a harvested turnaround plan. Something else and a turnaround plan. Something else and you know in the Old Testament, God had a law that the seventh year the field had to lie dormant. They could not plan anything in the seventh year. What was the reason for that.

The ground the earth was depleted and God wanted it to last thing he wants everybody to have their day arrest. Even the ground. Amen. And so they had to let it live for that seventh year and then they can go back to plain again. The eighth year well today they are not going to let a field lie dormant for years now that God has the money and you know we gotta sell these products. So what are they do well, let's just put fertilizer in. Well, let's just put pesticides in essence what insecticides and whatever we have to do to keep the crops growing and growing more and more and more.

Amen and think about our meat industry in our poultry industry the way they shoot him full of all the hormones in the antibiotics and all of these things. Amen. So we need God's blessing on our food and we need God's blessing on our water. Look what happened to that town up there and think it was Michigan where they got the bright idea to switch from Detroit's water to her with Flynn's water.

One of those places and what they ended up doing leaching high amounts of lead into the water and the people were drinking that water and getting sick and not only that, for children who knows what will do in the future. Amen. If you don't say your grace when you meet, you know, you better start doing it now is because you need to be thankful for God's given you food. We'll think about that much because none of us ever go hungry for sure we need God's blessing on our food because honestly we don't know what's in it. We knowingly eat something bad but we don't really know. Do we and our waters are polluted and you know I remember when I was pregnant with Scott. I just love tunafish and not a tunafish all the time all the time and back then nobody said you know it now do that now. The hotel women delete much tunafish don't need to know it's not too much mercury in there but hurt your baby and back then I think I a tune every day and I didn't know it at the time but later growing up, I learned that the particular thing that to not supplies causes of the baby's brain to be more intelligent and I gotta say Scott's pretty smart I don't know if he got from the to know if he got it from his mother, but in day time pregnant women don't eat to Noreen.

Very little to. You've got to have God's blessing on it. Amen. And I love the way it ends your and so you will fulfill the number of your days. That means whatever God is written in your book when he wrote your name down on the day of your birth. Amen. And according to Psalm 139, we will return there, but it says God knows all our days even before we were born. Amen that you will fulfill the number of your days.

Now, this says to me that it's not absolute. I will fulfill men as long as I walking in that blessing, and as long as the blessings all my food. But if I myself blatantly ignore the dietary laws and go on junk food all the time and way too much sugar or something and end up with high blood pressure or diabetes, or other things. Amen. That wasn't what God's will was is it that we have to keep the laws. Amen. And then he says in Deuteronomy 3325 as the length of days, so will be your strength of days now and that is the double blessing that is the blessing I want not only of days. I don't want to live a long time to be sick for the last 10 years and be miserable and wish the Lord would check me out. Amen. I want let the day. Amen.

So walking in love. Amen. Because if we don't keep the Commandments that were opening up the door for the enemy.

Now, in case somebody is sitting here thinking voice sounds to me like you are implying that God chastens his children were sickness know what thousand times no God doesn't chasten his children were sickness anymore than I would my kids or you would your kids what you put sickness on your kid just to teach them a lesson. I don't care how bad they are there other ways that you will find to teach them a lesson but you're not, put some disease on them and say there you go. Now learn a lesson from that knowing God is a much better parent than I am and then you are. It doesn't come under the law of chastening. There are three laws of recompense. I have a CD illness and goes into it with a lot of detail three laws of recompense law of wrath law of chastening law of sowing and reaping the law of wrath is only one the unbeliever and the center. God is clear. The children of disobedience have a lower wrath on them and that's the truth and nobody can circumvent that and sugarcoated.

It is what it is.

If you are a sinner and an unbeliever, you work the law of God's laugh is on you because you have rejected the sacrifice of his son and he doesn't take that lightly. Second level of chastening the law of chastening is on God's children and there's many verses about chastening, but you'll never find where God put sickness and disease.

He says, whom the Lord love he chastens, just like a parent, chastens his child and you don't love somebody might put disease on. He has ways that he chastens off so that we wake up and say I'm going down the wrong path here. Lord forgive me and help me get it straight.

The law of chastening is only on God's children and it is executed with love, mercy and compassion.

The end beating the desired end to be that the child gets convicted asked for repentance and get together the third all the law of sowing and reaping his own every body Saints and sinners, Christians and non-Christians good folks and bad folks. Whatever your definition of that is the law of sowing and reaping universal it's the one the first long attitude in the book of Genesis.

Everything afterwards own time. What a man sows, that we also read and many times when Christians had come up with sickness in their body.

Don't let the devil sit on your shoulder and tell you it's because you failed God he's mad at you.

He doesn't love you. That's a lie. I don't and you know there were even Christians out there that will tell people that you must send we must've done something wrong.

That's a lie of the devil, but you may have. So something you shouldn't have. So now you're reaping act, and as I've already said it could be you have a very bad diet and now you're reaping what you've been eating for so long. Amen. And this can be physical, but it also has a spiritual element to it. Amen. You have to walk in love.

If you don't walk in love, that you are get under that sowing and reaping whatever you so you're going to reap.

Amen. And you can reap it directly in your body is a proven medical staff and I don't think anyone here will dispute the fact that our bodies are directly affected by our emotional well-being. How many believe that's true. The condition of your emotions, your spirit, your soul your mind what you're thinking can have direct correlation in your physical body, emotions do affect our health and doctors will tell you that amen and there are many, many verses in the Bible that deal with this and look at this, but I want to look at a few of them and tell you that often in the Scriptures you will hear that God is pronouncing blessings when his people and he says he wants to make fat our bones how many know that's in the Bible. He wants to give you fat bones now. We are always trying to get rid of fat.

Most everybody here, amen. But one thing you do want is to have backbones, you knowing the Bible times, people were fat read your Bible, I can find two instances and I'm in the Bible through many times two instances of fat people to one was an Israeli and one was a non-Israeli one was the high priest Eli.

He was so fat he was heading he was way overweight and he was sitting in his eyes that had he was losing his eyesight was almost Bonnie was sitting down and because of his weight he fell when he felt all that way caused him to break his neck. The other instance is in the book of Judges and we have a fat king named Ed Blanc he was a big old fat belly and he hugged the left-handed man at the end of the message in itself. When my favorite ones are preached in the past when he came he had a dagger and he got close to him and stuck it in.

He was so fat he got stuck in their but the thing is, there were many fat people probably hardly any in Bible times, people were not overweight but we all know that today it's a major problem in America. Amen. In America, people have gotten way overweight. So here we are not talking about the In-Stat being overweight. We're talking about having bones your bones.

Is your skeleton you all know that. Amen. So you need your skeleton or you would not be able to ambulate her move or do anything because you know you would just be Jell-O so that you need a skeleton for that, but that's not the only thing inside those bones what's in there. Bone marrow and bone marrow is where healthy blood cells are produced, someone whose bone marrow is unhealthy has come under a sickness or disease, and if it doesn't get corrected they could die from that. Amen we know now it's very common for people as part of their treatment plan to get a bone marrow transplant because there bone marrow has not been able to be cured on the sickness so they put the bone marrow about healthy person that matches and gives a net new bone marrow and they are cured they get well.

Amen. So having healthy bones means two things being strong in our physical body are skeleton and also systemically to be strong. Amen. Now some arthritis that people get is from wear and tear from old age, it's just your user skeleton, especially if you use certain parts of your skeleton repetitively in certain sports they get certain arthritis in certain areas. Amen.

People today you ever heard of carpal syndrome never heard such thing when I was a kid. But now live because people are using this repetitive all the time with their hands typing and keyboards is not right so you know that arthritis comes from. As you age where and tear or an injury you injured your knee or something.

And as you got older he began to give you problems but there's also an arthritis that comes from your own immune system beginning to attack itself and deform the joints.

Amen.

And so this is a different type of arthritis and this can be tied directly to your diet. What comes in your mouth to your attitude what goes out of your mouth.

What am I talking about let's turn to Proverbs, there's many verses that will give you a few and just give you an idea what I'm saying.

Proverbs 15 and verse 30 what goes in his food. What comes out are our words and our words come out of our heart.

For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Proverbs 1530 the light of the eyes rejoices the heart and a good report makes the bones fat you want fat bones you need to be getting good reports turned to 1624 pleasant words resin honeycomb suite in the soul and health to the bones. You're going to get a double blessing. There, you're going to have emotional sweetness, good words, pleasant words is going to make your emotional well-being be at a good temper and a good level and then it's going to express itself in your physical body health to your bones. That means that your blood bone marrow and you're going to be healthy and you're not going to get from your body. Fighting against its own self.

Amen. Let's look at 1722.

You will recognize this one immediately. A merry heart does good like a medicine but a broken spirit does what is the bones.

I don't know about you but I don't want dry bones dry bones means that they are brittle and means that they are subject to injury and arthritis and degeneration. Amen. And if it's in the bone, then that means that it's not producing the healthy blood cells. We need to be healthy but a merry heart is good medicine for that. Amen. Flip over the 1430 a sound heart is the life of the flesh bought envy the rottenness of the bones whom we had to stop here for moment and see what's being said. So if you got a sound heart that means you are emotionally stable, you're contented you're happy you thought peace is not joy you're walking in the love walk as well as the faith walk. Amen you've gotten lives in your body but if you had a spirit of jealousy and envy and criticalness and stop finding amen and bitterness directly affect your health and your own rotten bones, you know, even as I say this you know I speak the truth because some of you can think of people that this describes that you know that there always cynical and critical all the time and in when you arrive you telling to come in small doses now after a while you gotta you gotta get away from there is you've already tried to turn the conversation around a couple times but it always comes back think they're always going to come back to the same old murmuring and things so you have to make an exit because you don't want their bitterness to affect your peace and joy you lot your time to help them, but when they stop pulling you down. You gotta say, I cannot get away from this, especially if you are fighting for a miracle for Haley and you keep yourself. Five. You gotta be around people that are giving you a good report.

Amen. Because people that have all these issues in their heart are always coming out there, always coming out.

They had never dealt with them to get rid of them and they're going to come out until they deal with them.

Amen. Now I don't know if it's true or not, because I'm certainly not a medical professional, but my understanding is that your skeleton replaces itself about every 10 years, provided you give it the correct nutrients. You have a diet that it has enough calcium unit and vitamin D in it and other minerals in such and you have to start early in life. This is especially true for women because once women get older there, then the calcium levels in the body really become depleted and the estrogen often gets depleted and this causes many women to get osteoporosis.

You don't see it much. Amen. It happens in men, but it's more common for women. Amen. So the idea is don't wait to you get 55 or 60 does all the sons on a checkup and make sure you're taking a casket. I mean if you hadn't start that is better than never but it's better to do it while you're younger you do it in early age because you're doing that the guarantee in older age that you will have a healthy skeleton. Amen. So you have to take in those good nutrients but not only is it important to take in the blood nutrients that build your bones. It's important to stay away from things that will each. The good calcium out of your bones.

I'll give you just one example, and don't groan soda, soda, you know, soda pop, Coke, Pepsi, whatever is your favorite doesn't matter soda has phosphorus in it and phosphorus leeches calcium out of your bones. So if you're already not taking enough calcium in your diet and such and then on top of the dripping soda drinker, you got the double whammy.

Amen. So that's what I'm trying to say some of these things we had control over. We had control what goes in our mouth and we have control what comes out of our mouth. Amen. So we have to take this now in the spirit we need a good spiritual diet. We bought experimental we need to be built upon nutrients from God. We need to hear good preaching and good teaching and good reports to build.

Amen we need to feed ourselves that we need every day and if you're looking for Haley to get all the verses in the Bible and read again or get whatever or MP3 and listen to them and build your faith up with a good report you're taking your spiritual calcium and your spiritual vitamin D in vitamin K and boron. These things 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 dotted be changed. It's getting older and things happen as you get older things where 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 be 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 raw want 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 we're not talking here now, literally, about a lactating mother with child. We are talking about. It is a metaphor for good health. That's what it means a metaphor for good health. So this one dies with his or whatever the case may be, with a small amount and are moistened is moistened. Amen. They've got a lot when bitterness and envy and jealousy, 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 the 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 look like and no more tears and no more death. You know it was like a sister wanting when I went to see her 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 did 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 a 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 up in my heck if they don't sing a song yet.

This is you want to sing the song know you can't sing as a Catholic I am missing this song because it won't stop telling me to sing and I don't claim to be a singer by any means not just that 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 that bedsheet… Hi Telus goodbye and just see a child of God who is ready to step in the 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 him 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 the stand there and the next day he died. All let me tell you something when you walk in the love of God. When you walking 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 you provide a loved one any day goodbye, you knew that you knew that you will see them again beating the portal of the glory. Amen.

What an 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 his great teaching of the gifts of the spirit and first Corinthians 12, and 14 Paul stopped in 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 convey 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 state 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, faith, 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 judge minimalism jealousy a lot the 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 21203 four shop online and sound the faith that were also available on MP3s next time.
