THE HEALING POWER OF LIGHT – 2

Testimonies, ,

As we have examined in the previous post, God’s light shining in our hearts has powerful effects on our inner being. The light of His truth has rescued us from the effects of sin and transformed us into a new species, called “children of God”.

However, light also has the power to restore our bodies to efficient functionality. Let me explain.

Humans have known of the power of light for many centuries and used it according to their limited knowledge. Scientists know that light on earth gets its power from the sun in both the plant and the animal world.

For many years, medical science has attempted to harness the power of light to heal and regenerate the body through various methods of phototherapy. As a trained nurse and midwife, I myself have used light therapy to treat babies with neonatal jaundice.

However, as much as light has been used to treat various medical conditions for many years, only in the past 20 years has scientific research been learning to harness the human body’s ability to use its own light to heal itself.

Just as God’s light, His spiritual truth revealed in His Word, has entered our souls to restore the image of Jesus in us…

Romans 12:2 NLT
[2] “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

…so, through this technology, scientists have learned how to harness light emitted by our bodies to reverse the process of aging and restore the body’s cells to improved function again.

Through a thermal camera, we can see the light that comes from a warm-blooded creature’s body. Wild-life photographers use this way to photograph wild animals in the dark. For example, with the use of a thermal camera, the warmest areas of a wild animal show up in the dark as yellow, shading to green and blue where there is less light on the surface of the skin.

Every cell in the body uses light in the form of energy, to function efficiently. Light waves activate the appropriate elements to do their work. As the body ages, under the influence of internal and external factors that degrade its functions, the cells slowly lose their efficiency until the body’s cells eventually can no longer continue to sustain life.

Stem cells produced on the brain are the body’s repair kit. Stem cells are initially neutral, (like one-size-fits-all), but they become whatever and wherever new cells are needed to replace old. We age as our stem cells slowly lose their ability to do their work. I am told that, by the age of sixty, stem cells have lost 60% to 80% of their function.

This recently-discovered technology of which I have learned, has found a way to reflect the light emitted from the skin back into the body to, among other functions, reactivate the body’s own stem cells to repair the body’s wearing-out functions. Malfunctioning vital organs, such as heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc., which result in degenerative conditions, begin to function normally again. Pain, cause by inflammation, is relieved. Normal brain function is restored… even hair loss and colour are affected by this therapy, without medication or invasive procedures.

This sounds like magic, or miraclulous, doesn’t it? Yet, many thousands of people who have put this treatment to the test, are finding it not only true but have begun to live healthier lives again. Through the application of this technology, degenerative conditions are being reversed and even brain malfunctions are being restored to normality.

Now let me explain further. A variety of tiny crystals applied to the skin by the use of patches, causes the skin to reflect specific wavelengths of light back into the body. These “lightwaves” stimulate circulating peptides, groups of amino acids in the blood, to attach to various minerals, (especially copper in the case of the “flagship” patch). These copper peptides, in turn, reactivate the body’s stem cells which have become dormant through aging.

For years, doctors have used stem cells harvested from donors to treat, for example, conditions like leukaemia. However, the treatment is expensive with no money-back guarantee of success. When the body can produce its own stem cells, healing happens… efficiently.

Since God is truth and all wisdom belongs to Him surely, then, this technology must have come from Him…

… so, God has revealed to scientists the way to apply the healing power of light in our bodies to heal our organs from the damaging effects of aging. Through this process, we can, in turn, live out our lifespan with a far better quality of life than most people who are dying from the decay of aging and disease.

The beauty of this technology is that it is relatively cheap, compared with traditional methods of stem cell transplants and other forms of phototherapy, and it is guaranteed to work with a money-back guarantee.

It is not my intent to advertise a product but rather to show you how wonderfully God has both saved our souls and is able to restore our bodies by His light. Although this technology, using light, can never help us cheat death, it can restore our bodies to a measure of healthy living that extends our lifespan and gives us a better quality of life until our bodies die.

The man who discovered this process is a confessing believer in Jesus. He has worked for 20+ years on discovering the code that unlocks the human body’s power to heal itself. He has tried and tested every step of this amazing discovery and has more than 70 US patents to authenticate his work. He has published the details of the process extensively and defended his work from the critics who try to discredit what he is doing. There are hundreds of testimonies from those who use the patches that they work!

After explaining the process of the healing these light crystals initiate, this scientist made this exciting statement, “This is only the beginning!” Imagine if his research would take him into the field of potentially fatal conditions like cancer and HIV-AIDS or brain malfunctions like Alzheimers, or Parkinsons disease! Already, autism, and other mental or emotional conditions, for example, is positively affected by the use of specific patches. Despite the skepticism of critics, the results speak for themselves.

Does this sounds too good to be true? A pipe dream? A fairy story? Without the testimony of many thousands who have used this technology with dramatic effects, it would be only a far-fetched dream but, to God’s glory, it is true!

HE MAKES EVERYTHING NEW

Bible Study, ,

Revelation 21:5 NLT
[5] “And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.”

Well, that’s a fantastic promise!

As fallen human beings, we have broken, spoiled, and messed up so much in our Iives and the Iives of others that God’s promise is a lifeline for us. What if we went into eternity dragging everything we have broken or destroyed in this life with us!

God is not the one who has done the damage. We have, even if we hate to admit our part in the trail of brokenness we leave behind us.

We have all had a part in destroying relationships. We have harmed our children by what we have said, or not said, done or not done. We have damaged those closest to ourselves by our thoughtless words and actions. We have hated and judged instead of forgiving and praying for our enemies. We have ignored those in need, lavishing on ourselves what we could have done for others. We are GUILTY, all of us, in some way or another….

But….

God said that He will make everything new, not new everything. What He created in the beginning was perfect and functional, “Good!” He called it. He will not replace the broken with everything new. He will restore everything damaged by our hands to its former perfection. God doesn’t throw anything away except those who refuse His invitation to be made new.

2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
[17] “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

So, as well as making people new, God will also renew both heaven and earth. In some way we don’t understand, the corruption sin brought to people affected all creation and the connection between heaven and earth.

Romans 8:20-22 NLT
[20]”Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, [21] the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. [22] For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.”

However,

Revelation 21:1-4 NLT
[1]”Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. [2] And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. [3] I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. [4] He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

Our fallen bodies, too, will be restored to sinless perfection and immortality, like the body of Jesus, when He walked out of the tomb.

1 Corinthians 15:42-44, 49 NLT
[42]”It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. [43] Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. [44] They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies…
[49] Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man.”

How will God accomplish this restoration?

God restores, not by patching up something old and worn out but by making it brand-new, all over again as it was in the beginning.

In Jeremiah 23, God describes His word as powerfully destructive.

Jeremiah 23:29 NLT
[29] “Does not my word burn like fire?” says the Lord. “Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?”

Just as God created the universe by the power of His Word, so He will destroy everything that has corrupted His creation by His Word.

2 Peter 3:7, 10 NLT
[7]” And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.”

Lest we think that Peter is referring to literal fire, let us first consider the meaning of the word, “elements”.

Strong’s g4747

  • Lexical: στοιχεῖον
  • Transliteration: stoicheion
  • Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
  • Phonetic Spelling: stoy-khi’-on
  • Definition: (a) plur: the heavenly bodies, (b) a rudiment, an element, a rudimentary principle, an elementary rule.
  • Origin: Neuter of a presumed derivative of the base of stoicheo; something orderly in arrangement, i.e. (by implication) a serial (basal, fundamental, initial) constituent (literally), proposition (figuratively).
  • Usage: element, principle, rudiment.
  • Translated as (count): principles (4), elements (2), basic principles (1).”

Paul uses the same Greek word, “stoicheion”, translated “elements” to refer to the basic principles by which this present evil world operates.

Galatians 4:3 NLT
[3] “And that’s the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world.”

Even the worthless material His people have used in their work in the kingdom will perish in the fire.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15 NLT
[10]”Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. [11] For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. [12] Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. [13] But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. [14] If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. [15] But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.”

Just as God created the universe by His powerful Word, the Bible tells us, so also He will cleanse the universe of pollution and restore everything to its former perfection through the fire of His Word.

Even the worthless work we have done in His name will be consumed by the flames and only that which is truth and built on the truth will remain. Fire will test all our words and works and everything that is precious and of value will survive.

In view of God’s promise, then,

2 Peter 3:11-14 NLT
[11] “Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, [12] looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames. [13] But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness. [14] And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.”

FREEDOM – THE VICTORY

Christian Life, ,

FREEDOM – THE VICTORY

God has changed our status from sinner to righteous, and our realm from the dominion of darkness to the kingdom of God over which Jesus rules as Lord. Now we are free to live under His rule and by His power.

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT

However, we still have the old nature in us as well as God’s likeness, His nature, restored in us. Now there is a war going on in us, the flesh against the Spirit.

“So, I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.”

Galatians 5:16-18 NLT

So, what’s the solution to this ongoing battle between our old and new natures?

Potentially, our old life is dead. We have been given a fresh start, like being born all over again, but with a new disposition – towards God, not against Him. We have been restored to our original status as God’s children. We are no longer His enemies.

“See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!… Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.”

1 John 3:1-3 NLT

This new status comes with an obligation to live like God’s children, no longer giving in to the desires, demands, and cravings of our old sinful natures.

“We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus. Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So, use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.”

Romans 6:6-7, 11-14 NLT

“Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.”

Romans 8:12-14 NLT

“Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.“ Colossians 3:10 NLT

This is Paul’s way of saying that we continually have choices to make, our way or God’s way? The Holy Spirit lives in us and leads us by revealing God’s way to us as we have internalised truth from God’s Word.

However, the Spirit gives us power to obey only when we choose to do the right thing. Our new nature becomes stronger when we choose to obey Jesus, weaker when we choose to do our own will. God has provided for every need and situation, but we must appropriate that grace by believing and acting upon His promises.

“By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvellous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.”

2 Peter 1:3-4 NLT

Through Jesus, the Holy Spirit activates every promise when we receive it by faith.

“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.”

2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT

There is one more obstacle to a life a freedom from sin’s power and its consequence, which are the source of bondage and behaviour patterns that confirm that bondage…
