INTROD?CTION
This boo( is written for both physicians and patients* 1owe+er, as one with a lifetime career as a medical doctor, - fully reali:e that far more patients practice prayer as part of their daily li+es than do physicians* This is not to say that doctors are not Christians9- ha+e met scores of men and women in this field who are people of faith* But it is rare that spiritual healing becomes part of their practice* -t seems there has been an in+isible wall built between doctor and patient regarding spiritual matters9as if it is a topic not to be broached* - belie+e the a+erage patient would li(e nothing more than to hear a doctor say at the end of an office +isit 6after gi+ing a medical diagnosis8, 3- also want you to (now that - am praying for you*3 ;ow< ;ould that e+er change the physician.patient relationship* This brings me to the focus of this handboo(* Since - (now that the +ast ma0ority of patients desire a spiritual component to health issues, - am turning most of my attention directly to doctors* ;hy= Because if we can see a transformation in how medicine is practiced, not only will patients see greater impro+ement, but there will be a new dynamic introduced to the field of health* So, please understand that when - am spea(ing directly to doctors, - am doing so on behalf of you the patient* The purpose of this handboo(, therefore, is to encourage you, as a physician, to understand the eternal realities we are dealing with in today,s world* As an influential leader and teacher in the medical field, you are uniquely qualified to bring the light of >esus Christ and 1is power to those in need* ?ou can become an e+angelistic leader in your community, and you can help to establish true hospitals within the Church* So many churches are e@periencing spiritual star+ation, and there is only one treatment for this condition9round.the.cloc( feeding by those who are equipped to engage in spiritual warfare* /od wants 1is healing.deli+erance power to be manifested in 1is Church* This will happen as leaders such as you learn to use 1is ;ord as the sword of the Spirit* As this ta(es place, worldwide re+i+al will happen* -n fact, this is the only way that such a spiritual awa(ening will become reality* Aur hea+enly )ather is calling us bac( into fellowship, relationship, commitment, and unity* -t is only when this happens that we can become a +ictorious, united army under 1is leadership*

"SUPERFICIAL SPECIALISTS"
2any people rationali:e about their situations, and this (eeps them 3trapped3 in their conditions* They don,t understand that their rationali:ing can become paraly:ing* So many prefer to depend on human reason rather than searching for spiritual solutions* - (now many fol( who ha+e become 3superficial specialists in rationali:ing3 without reali:ing that human reason has actually become a god to our nation* -,+e encountered some people who go on putting up with medical conditions due to their subconscious need to recei+e attention, reward, sympathy, pity, comfort, affection, a sense of being important, and e+en lo+e because of it* )ortunately, this is not a common situation, but such men and women need to reali:e and decide that they do not ha+e to tolerate their impairment or illness any longer* These are the people who ha+e decided they would rather li+e with their medical conditions e+en though that,s not what /od wants for them* They need to ha+e their minds reprogrammed and renewed so they can find a quality of life that has not been a+ailable to them due to their misguided thin(ing that tells them that they somehow deser+e their illnesses*
YOUR CHALLENGE
Another strange situation is found in those indi+iduals who ha+e ob+ious impairment, but are actually fearful that prayer could ma(e them worse* Ane gentleman with signs of an e@trapyramidal disorder told me, 3Ho, than( you, - can li+e with the sha(ing - ha+e*3 1e did not reali:e that no one e+er deser+es to be sic(< -f the abo+e description applies to you, -,m sure you reali:e that your whole life is wrapped up with the stress that comes from your healthcare pro+ider,s +isits, treatments, therapies, and other approaches* ?ou may ha+e e+en learned to tolerate your physical challenge* 1ere -,m using the word 3challenge3 instead of problem because - belie+e the word 3problem3 has the ring of permanence, whereas the word 3challenges3 implies something that can be o+ercome, something that is temporary* A problem may result in indifference or depressionI a challenge, on the other hand, is something that can be faced, fought, and o+ercome and can be approached with optimism and hope* )urthermore, you want to become /od.centered rather than problem. oriented* /od does not gi+e sic(ness or illness to the people 1e created as some sort of punishment* To thin( 1e does so leads one to feelings of guilt and to the erroneous belief that it is /od,s will for him or her to be sic(* - belie+e one of the ma0or challenges in ministering to people that pre+ents their acti+e participation in wanting to get healed is their need to be in charge or be in control, and sometimes pride* As a physician, - remember wondering why people came for treatment when they belie+ed it was /od,s will for them to be ill* - would as( them, 3;hy do you want to get rid of this medical condition if you belie+e /od wants you to be sic(=3 ;hat,s the point of that= Sometimes this belief is accompanied by an attitude that leads the patient to belie+e that he or she is not worthy of being healed* There is no doubt that fear also plays a prominent role is this mind.set and such fear opens the door to demonic spirits as well as to sic(ness and disease*
YOUR GIFT
'et,s ta(e a loo( at Adam for a momentI he was the first man* -ncidentally, >esus became the second Adam* -t,s interesting that the name of Adam means dust or dirt* 'isten to the ama:ing authority he recei+ed from the 'ord7 (%nd out of the ground the +ord God formed every ,wild. beast and living creature of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to %dam to see what he would call them2 and whatever %dam called every living creature, that was its name' %nd %dam gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the air and to every ,wild. beast of the field2 but for %dam there was not found a helper meet /suitable, adapted, complementary0 for him( 6/enesis $71 . $G8* ;hat this Scripture is saying is that with the creati+e power of Adam,s mouth, he spo(e into e@istence what the animals would become as he called their nature by their name* ?our tongue actually has the same power* ;hat about the fulfillment of the +ision that /od ga+e you that would wor( in your life, especially in practical terms= Dro+erbs 1%71# is a powerful statement that re+eals the answer7 (% man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men'( ?our gift is what you were designed to be (nown for* /od put this gift in each of you doctors, that the world will ma(e a way for you* -n e@ercising this gift, you continue to fulfill your +ision and find real fulfillment, purpose, and contentment in your wor(* This doesn,t include the 30un(3 that seems to get attached to it*
BEYOND REASON
Belie+e it or not, it was faith that enabled you to endure the intense preparation in+ol+ed in those mind. boggling e@aminations that made the difference as to whether you would be able to stay in medical school* )aith helped you absorb the didactic and e+en esoteric material in all those intense lectures that in+ol+ed anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, etc* ;ithout depending on reason, you (new that some. day you would be able to apply all the (nowledge that was thrown at you to assist you in your patient,s care and treatment* The teaching staff
had their own challenges* )or e@ample, my anatomy professor would turn off his hearing aids so he could isolate himself within his own world and not be distracted by his students and their questions* This e@plains why the students had con+ersations during class* Belie+e it or not, some e+en played cards in class< They apparently had sufficient faith to depend entirely on learning the material on their own* A great definition of faith is trusting /od that you belie+e it before you recei+e it* ?ou could also say that faith is unquestioning belief in /od* Femember faith cannot grow unless it is e@ercised* Throughout your medical practice you ha+e had to ha+e great faith in treating your new patients who had comple@ medical conditions* Aftentimes they were referred to you by physicians who weren,t able to help them after a multitude of tests and drugs*
ACTS OF FAITH
- (now you ha+e e@perienced many such faith. challenging situations* ?ou ha+e e@pected your patients, diagnoses to be correct because you ha+e bac(ed them up with great confidence from their history, physical findings, and your training* ?ou (new and belie+ed that the treatments you prescribed would be effecti+e whether they in+ol+ed surgery, further consultations, medical treatments, therapies, drugs, etc* ?ou depended on your faith when you prescribed new drugs, e+en with a patient,s history of multiple allergies and all the other medications they were ta(ing* ?ou belie+ed what you ordered would resol+e their conditions* ?ou relied on your faith when you performed procedures that were considered ris(y in light of your patient,s circumstances* ?ou stood on your faith when you e@pected and trusted your patient would impro+e and, of course, fully reco+er* ?ou confirmed that belief when you informed your patient,s family that he or she would do well* ?ou established your faith e+en more in your mind and your thought processes as you anticipated satisfactory results and you belie+ed that all was going well* And you proceeded with all these acti+ities (nowing full well that you were always sub0ect to attorney re+iew* )aith requires action and because you belie+ed these things, you acted upon your faith and definitely anticipated seeing positi+e results* This is all a matter of obedience as well as faith* )aith wor(s as a spiritual law in the same way that gra+ity functions as a natural law* ?our faith is really resurrection power9the power that comes as a result of the Fesurrection of >esus Christ* ?ou don,t ha+e to be told that you,re not supposed to understand that e+erything will wor( out, for this would mean you wouldn,t need faith* Af course, you ha+e come to understand that faith doesn,t require proof, e+en though this probably was a challenge for you to accept* ;e disco+er a profound truth regarding the testing of your faith in 2ar( 117$E which simply states that you can ha+e what you say7 (Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, !e lifted up and thrown into the sea9 and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him'(
TOTAL TRUST
The (ey in treating medical conditions from a spiritual point of +iew is to tal( to whate+er that mountain is about >esus instead of tal(ing to >esus about your patient,s mountain* 1ere,s an acronym that describes )A-T1 rather dramatically while blessing you as well7 Fantastic Ad+entures In Trusting Him*
?our faith becomes a power that is stronger and greater than any statistical scientific method* ;hat you accomplish through your faith determines your success, because /od honors your faith* The faith you ha+e actually requires a great mental attitude and this will ma(e all the difference when you learn to e@pect to recei+e what you belie+e* Scott Sco+ille 1amilton said that the greatest disability in life is a bad attitude* And Kig Kiglar states that some people need a 3chec( up from the nec( up3 in order to pre+ent 3hardening of the attitudes*3 ?ou need to start depending entirely on /od by using your faith, trusting in 1im, and belie+ing 6the holy Bible8 1is ;ord* ?ou should be mo+ed only by what you belie+e, not by what you feel, hear, see, taste, or touch* This is actually the difference between re+elation (nowledge and sense (nowledge* Then you can start loo(ing forward to great spiritual accomplishments* -n other words, you ha+e to belie+e it before you see it* 6That,s actually what faith is*8 >esus wal(ed by faith* 1e recei+ed that faith the same way we get it7 (&o faith comes by hearing ,what is told., and what is heard comes by the preaching ,of the message that came from the lips. of -hrist /the Messiah Himself0( 6Fomans 1G71&8* 1earing the ;ord becomes a daily habit and it must be renewed e+ery twenty.four hours in order for it to wor( efficiently and effecti+ely* All you need to do is to understand that all you,re doing is actually spea(ing the truth in ad+ance before you see it happen*
UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES
>esus spo(e about faith in the following two Scriptures* 1e indicated that these +erses were basically identical* -n essence, 1e is saying that simply by belie+ing you can ha+e the necessary faith which will bring about the same results* -n other words, it is your faith that allows all things to be possible through 1im and to be equally possible to you, as well* 'et,s now loo( at these two important +erses* 18 1e was intent with this message7 (!ut )esus looked at them and said, 7ith men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God( 62atthew 1 7$#8* $8 (%nd )esus said, ,*ou say to Me., If *ou can do anything1 ,7hy,. all things can be /are possible0 to him who believes9( 62ar( 7$E8*
A specific Scripture came to his mind* -t is found in Colossians 171!.1&7 (,;ow. He is the e:act likeness of the unseen God ,the visible representation of the invisible.2 He is the irstborn of all creation' or it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities2 all things were created and e:ist through Him ,by His service, intervention. and in and for Him' %nd He Himself e:isted before all things, and in Him all things consist /cohere, are held together0'(
growing s(ills in clinical 0udgment and your uncanny ability to understand how to appraise the relati+e +alue of symptoms and other physical signs*
APPLYING WISDOM
This preparation has endowed you with your e@tensi+e (nowledge and it allows you to ascertain and establish your patient,s diagnoses* This inherent supernatural gift has enabled you to process your patient,s entire medical situation* ?ou ha+e the awesome ability to con+ert the practical application of this data for your patient,s definite treatment and reco+ery* This ability is referred to as wisdom and it requires your intuition to acti+ate it* The ama:ing thing to reali:e is that /od has already done this for you* The patient,s anticipated prognosis doesn,t always depend on the doctor,s e@perience, his or her s(ill, or the information that is found in the medical te@tboo(* Lery often the prognosis is based on multiple, and sometimes undefined factors* -n the natural, some might refer to successful results as ha+ing chance or luc(* 2y impression is that '*U*C*B* stands for 3'abor Under Correct Bnowledge* Ane doctor put it this way, 3The harder - wor(, the luc(ier - get*3 Father than using the word 3luc(,3 though, - personally prefer to call the patient,s anticipated positi+e response to the doctor,s treatment a blessing*
FOCUSED ON RECOVERY
J+ery doctor agrees that the patient,s quality of life is the supreme goal* This ob0ecti+e in+ol+es restoring your patients, health and pro+iding them the greatest measure of a+ailable relief* -f at all possible, it is focused on total and permanent reco+ery as well* The truth is that to maintain one,s health is a far better choice than simply recei+ing medical care for sic(ness or disease* - ha+en,t really gone into healing as yetI healing is in itself a tremendous alternati+e and in reality a godly option* Today, as the result of science and technology, the practice of medicine has been o+erwhelmed with a myriad of specialist groups, innumerable 0ournals, te@tboo(s, and -nternet sites, which seem more focused on pre+enti+e health care, the management of chronic diseases, and aging* ;e reali:e that a high percentage of people are hospitali:ed with ailments that are caused by worry, tension, stress, strife, grief, an@iety, and depression, which may include fear and debt*
diseases, psychiatric conditions, accidents, (idnappings, unpro+o(ed murders, rapes, suicides, abortions, girls sold into se@ual sla+ery, etc* And what about the increasing number of Americans who are without health.care insurance= At the last count this figure was headed toward !G million all together* Aren,t we obligated to care for them regardless of insurance co+erage= Solomon wrote in Dro+erbs about how history merely repeats itself7 (The thing that has beenit is what will be again, and that which has been done is that which will be done again2 and there is nothing new under the sun( 6Jcclesiastes 17 8* /et ready to prepare for supernatural e+ents that you ne+er anticipated9e+ents put in place by the mo+e of /od* 1owe+er, you also ha+e to be ready to prepare for the danger of deception in these end times* -,m referring to false prophets, and e+en signs and wonders* Understand that when you e+aluate 0ust how to be free from all these concerns, it,s not the supernatural that pro+es the healing, because e+en the de+il can heal* That,s why the +ery elect can be decei+ed when there are 3mi@ed3 seeds* The anointing has to come from the right source, for it re+eals the truth* Femember, the truth has longe+ity, but a lie is short.li+ed* -,m encouraging you doctors to loo( further into the supernatural realm and to introduce /od to your patients, so they can incorporate 1is 3nothing is impossible promises3 in order to get healed and deli+ered* This may result in finding alternati+es to acti+ities such as medications, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, consultations, therapy, etc* This approach may sound far.fetched especially if it embraces creati+e miracles or the elimination of terminal conditions*
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
Alternati+e medicine came into e@istence because people who were being medically treated often weren,t achie+ing the medical results they were belie+ing for or desiring* -n other words, they became impatient with their lac( of response to treatment, e+en when their condition was treatable, and especially with chronic situations and those desperate 3no.hope circumstances*3 Deople became frantic for answers* Consequently, alternati+e medicine became an accepted optional form of medical treatment for many patients* The Affice of Alternati+e 2edicine was established in the Hational -nstitutes of 1ealth, in Bethesda, 2aryland, 1 1.1 #* That first year, the Senate Appropriations Committee wanted to 3fully e@plore the potential that e@ists in uncon+entional medical practices3 and 3to fully test the most promising uncon+entional medical practices*3 The Affice of Alternati+e 2edicine became the ad+isory panel* ;ith the go+ernment in+ol+ed, a national health.care conflict grew between the forces of establishment biomedicine and the di+erse ran(s of alternati+e medicine* -n April, 1 !, they defined 3complementary and non.con+entional alternati+e medicine*3 They classified these forms of treatment as ha+ing a broad domain of healing resources that encompassed all health systems, their modalities, and their practices, including their accompanying theories and beliefs* Ather alternati+e therapies included, but were not limited to, the following disciplines7 fol( medicine, herbal medicine, diet fads, homeopathy, faith healing, Hew.Age healing, chiropractic, acupuncture, naturopathy, massage, music therapy, as well as uncon+entional, unorthodo@, unpro+en, complementary, inno+ati+e, such as hyperbaric o@ygen therapy, stem cell therapy, many autism therapies, and integrati+e therapies* There are no satisfactory scientific e@planations a+ailable to pro+e that these are effecti+e forms of treatment*
The truth is that there really are no 3alternati+es3 when you become a follower of >esus, for the miracles and healings that result from being 1is followers are born out of the supernatural realm, as you,+e read and studied in the Bible* A miracle is an e@traordinary e+ent that manifests di+ine inter+ention, usually on an instantaneous basis* By definition, a healing is a miracle, but it often ta(es longer and occurs on a progressi+e le+el*
A NEW SYSTEM
-n order to see this miraculous inter+ention, you really ha+e to ree+aluate your entire belief system* 2any of you may want to ma(e immediate changes in your thin(ing* ?ou could almost call this a spiritual brea(through rather than a scientific brea(through, although - belie+e you can,t separate the two realms, since science and spirituality coe@ist* )or e@ample, from a scientific and humorous point of +iew, it is well (nown that parallel lines can ne+er meet* 1owe+er, from a spiritual point of +iew, all truth is parallel, and this indicates that a serious relationship really e@ists between the two realms* The etymology of the word 3paradigm3 dates bac( to the fifteen century* The late 'atin word paradigm is from the /ree( paradeigma, which stems from paradeiknynai9to show side by side* The word 3paradigm3 is defined in the Merriam- 7ebster $ictionary as a philosophical and theoretical framewor( of a scientific school or discipline within which theories, laws, and
generali:ations and the e@periments performed in support of them are formulated* This definition shows that you ha+e to grasp the truth that you can,t compare the systems of this world, which ha+e been programmed in your mind through the training you,+e recei+ed to the systems of /od which are within, in the spiritual realm* Some ha+e arbitrarily wanted to place this concept into the realm of science fiction* This enables them to deal with something they can,t e@plain or comprehend*
POWERFUL WORDS
Through the Bible you ha+e access to this system* -t is /od,s system and /od,s handboo(* 1e has gi+en you the pri+ilege along with 1is pri+ilege to use and understand this combination medical te@tboo( and law boo(, which is (nown as the ;ord of /od* ?ou will be surprised to find that you can witness and e@perience the same success >esus had simply by ta(ing ad+antage of 1is mighty and powerful words, because 1is words ne+er fail* Hot to confuse you, but the truth is that /od put all the storehouse of treasures that you would e+er need in your brain when you were within your mother,s womb*
NO IMPOSSIBILITIES
;hen - use the term 3paradigm shift,3 -,m attempting to e@pand your mind to enable you to consider e+en the impossible* 2ore specifically, -,m referring to the supernatural realm and its acti+ities* ?ou would thin( these belief le+els are not normally programmed in the comprehensi+e centers of your brain* -n other words, to (eep this simple, when someone tells you, 3- can,t belie+e it,3 you can point him or her to the secret of whate+er seems to be impossible7 ( or with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment3 6'u(e 17E&8* ;hat -,m saying is that you need to start loo(ing at things from a spiritual point of +iew* ;hen you do this, you will disco+er that whate+er you see in the in+isible realm can be accomplished in the 3physical realm*3 -n other words, there are no 3impossibilities3 with /od* Hothing is too hard for 1im* -f any one should e+er tell you that >esus has retired from the healing and deli+erance business, you can reassure them that 1e is still ali+e and is totally in people,s li+es as 1e was when 1e wal(ed as a man on this earth* The Bible confirms this7 ()esus -hrist /the Messiah0 is ,always. the same, yesterday, today, ,yes. and forever /to the ages0( 61ebrews 1E7%8* Through the 0oining together of medical science and the supernatural spiritual world, dramatic testimonies of miracles or healings of incurable medical conditions has ta(en place* ?ou may prefer to call these cases anecdotal rather than statistical, but you will change your mind and belie+e differently when you start witnessing such e+ents for yourself*
STATISTICS, STATISTICS!

UNBEARABLE PAIN
'ater that same year, - myself was diagnosed with bilateral plantar fascitis associated with spurs* 2y prognosis was good in that it was not life.threatening, e@cept my colleagues informed me there was no cure or definiti+e treatment for this condition* - was told - had to learn how to tolerate intractable pain*
2y question was, 3;here can - enroll in Toleration School= The challenge was that - couldn,t ta(e pain medication while wor(ing in the operating suite and worse, ta(ing pain medication was against my philosophy anyhow* 2y father died in Ho+ember, 1 G* - was with him the night before as he passed away, suffering with unbearable pain in spite of a morphine drip* Unfortunately, he was not open in any way to recei+e sal+ation or e+en to recei+e prayer* - made a promise to myself that - would find some way to help these unfortunate +ictims e+en though - belie+ed from all of my training and (nowledge that an answer for healing or e+en any (ind of cure was not possible* ?ou probably won,t be surprised to learn that - found a way to treat patients who were suffering with chronic pain when - met a 2edtronics representati+e who came to my office* The speciali:ed program he offered was referred to as neuroaugmentation* 1e e@plained that substances naturally produced by the brain, called beta endorphins, act on the peri+entricular and periacqueductal areas to alle+iate pain* Heuroaugmentation ta(es ad+antage of this system by the use of electrical stimulation of deep brain structures and the spinal cord to relie+e debilitating chronic pain* Soon thereafter, - began to treat patients with neurospinal pain implants and later learned how to implant morphine pumps, mostly to alle+iate the useless pain associated with a malignancy*
UNEXPECTED!UNEXPLAINABLE

the Bible and this shows you that the de+il had no reason to change his tactics against us, since this cycle always wor(s in the life of e+ery uninformed person*
A NEW HUNGER
-n my research, many months, many boo(s and tapes later, - began to feel comfortable with my new paradigm* - (new the 1oly Spirit was responsible for my intense desire to read and watch more than !GG boo(s and tapes* This new hunger to learn about the supernatural was re+elation to me* Then - started memori:ing Scriptures, because they were +ery inspiring to me* There was one passage in particular that - would repeat often* -t,s -saiah #7%, and it seemed to 3pop3 into my consciousness and become momentous in my life* This occurred to me whene+er the thought came into my mind that - was going to be on a mission to share what - had learned* Then - would rehearse this +erse in my mind7 (%lso I heard the voice of the +ord, saying, 7hom shall I send1 %nd who will go for 3s1 Then said I, Here am I2 send me'( 2y first boo(, Healing Is *ours, too( se+en years to write* -t was moti+ated by the preceding Scripture, as well as the miracle of my own healing, and the desperate need to offer some (ind of 3hope3 to the sic( and dying* - am so than(ful to /od for this opportunity to become in+ol+ed with healing and deli+erance* - could ha+e missed life completely by not 0oining up with /od at allI late in+ol+ement was far better than no in+ol+ement*
WOULD HE DIE?
The 'ord used me following a particular emergency operati+e procedure as a yielded +essel* The bac(ground of this crisis in+ol+ed a nurse,s father who was deteriorating rapidly from the pressure build.up that came from a chronic subdural hematoma* The intense pressure on the brain was life.threatening because of the accumulation of blood and its brea(down products, which included associated swelling and edema* -n addition, the mass causes the brain to shift and cuts off the blood supply* The operating room staff was phenomenal in getting e+erything set up* -n a +ery short time, really 0ust minutes following the decompression with the enlarged burr hole, the patient wo(e up* As soon as his head was properly bandaged, - thought it would be a great idea for his daughter to chat with him since she was almost panic. stric(en as a result of her belief that her father was going to die*
- dialed his room number and handed him the phone while we were waiting for the reco+ery room stretcher* - said, 3Say hello to your daughter*3 The first thing - heard him say after, 31ello,3 was, a +ery loud, 3;hat do you mean how am - doing= -,m doing fine< 1ow are you=3
A CEREBRAL ANEURYSM
A pastor,s husband called me to minister to his wife who was in the -CU and was diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm* ?ou already (now the scenario when you tell the family that their lo+ed one is li+ing with a time bomb in their head that could go off any minute and that they could die from the rupture of the bubble on their blood +essel* The history of this lady re+ealed a classical picture of an o+erwhelming headache, photophobia, nuchal rigidity, and confirmation by angiography* 1er husband e@plained that he was holding his wife,s

"SPIRITUAL ESCAPADES?"
Another significant challenge occurred as the result of a telephone call from one of my neurosurgical colleaguesI it too( place during the middle of office hours* As an officer of our Heurosurgical Society, he had to inform me that my nonneurosugical acti+ities such as prayer, and praying for patients was unprofessional* 1e didn,t appro+e of these 3spiritual escapades3 e+en though the Bible says that belie+ers7 (&hall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well( 6The Carby Translation8* -n other words, wasn,t fitting into the mold* - was upset about being 0udged, but - found this Scripture, belie+ing that it would ma(e me feel better, but it didn,t7 ( or 6ust as you 6udge and critici5e and condemn

A SPIRITUAL VOCABULARY
The greatest challenge - e@perienced in learning to use positi+e words was for my mind to be 3open3 so - could eliminate the programmed way - use to tal( using those uncontrolled thoughts* wanted to (now how to achie+e the results - wanted* - was as(ing, 31ow do - learn to incorporate positi+e and spiritual words li(e 3healed3 and 3miracles3 into my +ocabulary and, 31ow do - eliminate negati+e words li(e 3no hope3 and 3remission=3 - was informed that the only answer was to study, read the Bible, and learn the way >esus would spea(* - was told to start thin(ing about what - was going to say before - spo(e so - would be pleased with what - heard* ?ou ha+e been informed to spea( what you want rather than what you ha+e* This is >esus, idea so we are calling those things which don,t e@ist as if they are things which do e@ist* -t,s no different than /od gi+ing life to the dead so they become ali+e* /od does gi+e life to the dead* 1e tal(s to those things which are not seen and do not e@ist 0ust as though they did* This, of course, is only possible and belie+able in the spiritual realm* 1e calls those things into e@istence that you can,t see* 1e calls them forth and spea(s them into being as if they are and the truth is that they do e@ist in hea+en* This means you ha+e to be careful what you say with your tongue and mouth on a $"M& basis because this can become a negati+e self.fulfilling prophecy and opens the door to actually happening through demonic spirits*
The apostle Daul helps us understand this more clearly in $ Corinthians "71E7 (*et we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken' 7e too believe, and therefore we speak'( Fead that +erse again to confirm what you spo(e7 (I have believed, and therefore have I spoken'( -t,s always going to sound irrational to the world when a Christian tal(s as if what /od has promised is a reality, especially when those promises seem to contradict the natural e+idence around you* But if you want to (eep the enemy defeated, this is the (ind of tal(ing you,d better be doing*
A NEW LANGUAGE
How that we ha+e co+ered this information, let,s really tal( about specifics and as( the question, 3Can you actually tal( to your patient from the spiritual aspects about their sic(ness and disease=3 This was a rather distressful underta(ing for me for - now had to face a E#G degree contrast in comparison as to how - already spo(e to patients from the medical point of +iew* This was li(e a new language and contradictory to my training in communicating with them* - had to change my attitude, my manner, and my method in tal(ing* ;hen you focus on /od,s ;ord in the Bible and compare it to how doctor words are used, there is a huge difference* -t doesn,t seem right or ma(e sense yet, the Bible is ne+er wrong9ne+er has been, and ne+er will be* ?et, +ery rarely does a patient e+er question that negati+e report gi+en to them from their doctor* 1a+e you e+er heard the patient as(, 3;ell, Coctor, now tell me what does /od,s ;ord say about this cancer you told me about=3 Can - as( you another question= ;ould you be upset if your patient decided not to accept what you told them because it contradicted what the Bible stated=
A POSITIVE REPORT
The toughest challenge in my career was to fail or not to be right* ?ou could call that pride or ego* J/A means Edging God Out* -f - e+er wrote a boo( to e@plain this, - would probably call it, I've 7orked and Trained Much too Hard and Much too +ong with too Much >:perience to >ver be 7rong' The word your patient recei+es through their ear gate and their eye gate, regarding their health, is an e@tremely sensiti+e spiritual issue* ?ou (now that /od has created a built.in healing system in your body that has been fashioned specifically for a long quality of life 6see /enesis #7E8* This requires you to nurture and maintain your temple as well as that of your patients* A good e@ample is that football fan who didn,t (now he in0ured his thigh climbing up the bleachers to find a seat to watch the game* After the game, as he was about to lea+e, he noticed blood on his pants, and quic(ly saw this large laceration through his torn pants* The reason he was asymptomatic and pain free was due to the endorphins and encephalon,s that were released from his brain that acted li(e an anti.pain 3morphine.li(e substance*3 -n order to maintain your patient,s healing system in good wor(ing order, your +ital medical information for them has to be translated into a positi+e report using positi+e words* This requires mi@ing together what you call the facts, which are all sub0ect to change, and the spiritual words a+ailable to you from the Bible* ?ou already (now that when patients hear negati+e words, they react with fear, despair, hopelessness, depression, and e+en panic* ?ou can readily understand how your patient,s illness can be intensified or worsened with inappropriate medical words, especially from their doctors who they consider their authority figures* 1ere,s something - didn,t appreciate initially* 2y spiritual counselors told me that >esus is the authority figure, not me, and 1e is the one patients need to obey e+en if the Bible words are in disagreement with the doctor,s words* After all, >esus is the ;ord* Since >esus can heal e+ery sic(ness and e+ery disease, you no longer ha+e to be faced with telling them only what your attorney has termed the 3so.called truth*3 The ;ord offers an alternati+e which you can spea( with authority* ;hen they are informed of their diagnosis, which can be at the e@treme gamut of the worse scenarios such as their death sentence, this is actually a lie* According to the Bible, they are being decei+ed* This actually becomes a curse if they belie+e it and accept it into their heart* >ust because they can,t be healed through the medical and scientific method may be a fact, but it,s not the truth*
There are far too many testimonies that contradict the death notice in which patients completely reco+er* - belie+e that some of our training and in+ol+ement in medicine con+eys to us the impression that 2*C* could mean 2edical Ceity* - myself started referring to 2*C* as 2irth Cispenser* -t always fascinated me that >esus ne+er had a title or an identity crisis*
