In this reflection let’s reflect and pray for God’s healing on our lives, on our physical health, our emotional and mental health and on our spiritual health.

God wants to help us to be healthy and He has provided many natural solutions to optimize our physical and mental wellbeing. There is an exciting field of medicine, relatively unknown to most people, called ‘orthomolecular medicine’ that is focused on enhancing the body’s natural healing power to fight chronic diseases with natural nutritional therapies. If this topic interests you I would recommend this book “Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease” (Edited by Dr. Andrew W. Saul PhD) Dr. Saul is an educator on orthomolecular medicine for doctors, as well as an evangelist to enlighten the public with the excellence of nutritional treatment.   In this book 65 medical experts including many with PhD’s in Medicine speak out about natural ways to heal us and to prevent diseases. I am absolutely convinced that God is working with these doctors to help us to become well without the need for pharmacology.

Here’s a short excerpt from this fascinating book: “Healthcare professionals and the public are becoming aware of the limits of standard medicine. Orthomolecular medicine can surpass these limits and bring hope to the future by providing what is really good for people’s physical and mental health. Orthomolecular medicine prevents and treats diseases by providing optimal amounts of substances that are natural to the body. This means that we can prevent and treat illness and maintain ideal health through proper diet with the supplemental addition of vitamins, minerals, essential fats and amino acids…Nutritional therapy should be the first choice for treatment and prevention of diseases. We should choose standard medicine only when nutritional treatment has proven ineffective, because it is a doctor’s duty to choose a safe treatment with the least adverse effects…Unfortunately, it has become the norm in the last 20 to 30 years for doctors and patients to choose drugs as soon as they spot a disease…Behind this trend are the pharmaceutical giants, who grow rich from people choosing the dangerous products.” From the book: “Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease: 65 Experts on Therapeutic and Preventive Nutrition” Edited by Dr. Andrew W. Saul

One of the leaders and pioneers in this field is Dr. Abram Hoffer, a Canadian psychiatrist who healed over 100,000 patients of schizophrenia with a cocktail of two vitamins Niacin (Vitamin B3) and Vitamin C.   I have personally suffered from depression and I know that Niacin helps with mental health issues, but many years ago when I went to the doctor suffering from depression I was only offered antidepressant pills, which I chose not to take.

I share this information with you because I feel we have to get better educated on the natural paths of healing that God has created for us. Let’s pray for the doctors working in the field of orthomolecular science. They are fighting the Capitalist model of pharmacology that makes billions of dollars on our chronic state of illness. The field of Orthomolecular Medicine needs funding for more research and the public needs to advocate for that funding because the fact of the matter is no one gets rich selling the public vitamins, so this field is completely at odds with the economic model where large pharmaceutical companies want to build revenues and profits. “The modern church of medicine does not relish alerting the press when the news is good about vitamins. There is no money in it and potentially a loss (of revenues) if vitamins displace drugs, as they should.” Dr. Abram Hoffer

As a volunteer I was trained to be a distress center counselor and to try to comfort people who were depressed and even suicidal.   We all need to be on the look out for people in our society that say things like ‘there is nothing to live for’. With the love of Jesus in our hearts we need to become a ‘life line’ for people who don’t want to live and we need to help our depressed loved ones feel loved and get them back to health with nutritional therapies that can help heal the brain and fight extreme levels of stress. Everybody needs somebody to need them and depressed and suicidal people can be helped when friends and family stay very near communicating how much they love and need them.  When one of my family members became very depressed I started putting Niacin in their food.  I had researched the substance and read Dr. Abram Hoffer’s book on Niacin.  I learned that Niacin was a ‘heat tolerant’ vitamin so I could put it in soup or hot food without adversely affecting it.  Within 48 hours I saw an improvement in my loved one’s health.  Later I told them what I had done and now they take Niacin on their own for mental well being. (I use a version of Niacin called ‘Inositol’ which does not have the ‘flush’ side effect)

God wants to help us to heal physically, mentally and spiritually.

For spiritual health I urge you to find time to be alone with God, to pray and read the Word of God.

The Almighty says in the Scriptures:

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10

Until we give God an‘exalted’ place in our life, I believe we will not be at peace.

Years ago, I was travelling in Italy and I entered a furniture store to look around. While I was looking I found Jesus.   A beautiful Crucifix was in a corner covered in dust, propping up electrical cords. It was being used as a ‘hanger’ for electrical cables. I walked up to the sales woman and said in Italian “I would like to buy the Crucifix.” “Oh! The Crucifix is not for sale” she said. So I opened my wallet and took out the 70 euros I had and I asked would this be enough and she said ‘yes’.

That crucifix watches over me as I sleep. It hangs over my bed and I feel like I ‘rescued it’ from a place where it was being dishonoured.

Has the world forgotten how much Jesus suffered on the Cross to save us?

Think about it! If that store could really see Jesus, True God, True Man, suffering on that instrument of torture would it have been covered in dust being used in a utilitarian fashion to prop up electrical cords?

Every day at 3pm, in my local time zone, I STOP to remember that this is the time when Jesus died on the Cross. His final words were “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” John 19:30

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was consummated on the Cross, but God’s work of salvation in our life is not finished until we confess our sins and accept Jesus as Our Lord and Saviour, giving Him the first place in our life as we trust in His infinite love for us. That’s the first step in spiritual healing. Know that Jesus died for you and me and everyone that will believe in Him.

Jesus explained to His apostles, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.” John 4:34  Now it’s time for us to finish the work that God has prescribed for each of His followers. We must do more than announce ‘we are saved’; we must help God to save those that do not yet believe in the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

There are so many souls in danger and we are like the soldiers that enter the battlefield hearing the cries of the spiritually wounded. Let us with our prayers minister to those souls that are spiritually unwell. They are spiritually unwell because they have not yet met their Saviour Jesus Christ. They need to be forgiven and healed.

Please join me and Christians all over the world that are praying for the healing grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ upon all souls. Every day at the time Jesus died for us, 3pm, each of us in our local time zones, we stop to remember the Passion of Christ and we pray for the Holy Spirit to bring souls to repentance. In this way we are like ‘spiritual ministers of healing’ praying for the souls that are mortally wounded by sin. We pray for God’s grace and with confidence we remember the promise of God.

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

We all need to be healed by the love of Christ. Let us pray for one another that God may show us the remedies we need for our physical, mental and spiritual well being.

Please join A Peaceful Revolution in the Name of Jesus Christ that gives glory to Our Saviour as Christians never let 3 o’clock pass without stopping to remember how much Jesus suffered to save us and to pray for the salvation of all!

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
