Advice

Today Pastor Kevin preached out of Revelations. I heard the sermon, but it didn't sink in. Why? Because today they laid hands on Mike during Praise & Worship. The elders of the church came forward and they laid hands on him for healing. Not just physical healing but also emotional. They based laying hands on him from James 5.

What was interesting was after service men went to him to give him all their potions. Fasts, cleanses, Milk Thistle, etc. were offered as advice. And the women came to me with some of the same advice. Our doctor has advised us against this because in the US, Milk Thistle isn't regulated and you can get pills with too much and it can kill you. She advised against extreme measures and to work towards the transplant.

Having worked in cancer for many years I saw people with stage 1 disease go out of the country to Mexico, etc. for "healing not as evasive as surgery" and come back with stage 4 cancer. They could have had surgery, had the tumor removed and they would have been done with their treatment.

I think it goes to two mentalities. One is that God doesn't heal anymore. The other is that quick fix American mentality.

We serve a big God. He created us and he can heal us.
