Healing is one of the most important things you can learn about in life. Why? At some point in your life, you or someone very close to you is going to need it. You or someone very close to you will be sick, and the options given you by the medical community will not be good ones. They may have nothing for you but means to prolong your life without giving you quality of life. You may have to take medications that have side effects as bad as the original condition.

I have learned that you don’t want to wait until you are diagnosed with something serious before you learn about this. That would be like going off to war without ever having gone to boot camp.

Healing for some people is like winning the lottery, but for most people it is like fighting off somebody who is trying to break into your house.

But beyond all this, healing will teach you more about God than you will probably ever learn otherwise. When you pray for other people and other things, you are not the only person who is involved in the outcome. So the first mountains you want to move are the ones in your own life and body. As you see these move, you will gain confidence to move others.

Healing might be the first place in which you will see miracles from God. God will seem more real to you, and you will become more aware of His love when you see Him work on your behalf.

In 1996, I was diagnosed with stage 3, mixed cell, non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I refused all medical treatment and have not received any medical treatment since then for that. It was quite an experience, and I have written a book, called The Importance of Healing, that tells about it as well as just about everything else I have learned about healing from the Bible and life.

I am not trying to sell you a book here. I am trying to save your life. Or least give you an understanding of God and the Bible which is usually sadly missing today. I have started posting chapters from the book and will continue to do so.

You can get the book at amazon.com or other book sites on the internet.

I also have two other websites where I have posted my writings: poligion1.blogspot.com has my articles on politics, culture, and public life and LarrysBibleStudies.blogspot.com has my other articles on the Bible. And I have started to make videos on youtube.

Thank you.

Forget not all His Benefits


Forget not all His Benefits


Psalm 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.  103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits--  103:3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
             The same David who wrote that the Lord is his shepherd, which we feel very comfortable quoting and using in our own lives, also wrote that the Lord heals all his diseases.
             I am sure some people will say that these are only emotional diseases, diseases of the soul, because the Psalm says: Bless the Lord, O my soul.  But then it says: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
             If we actually were to believe that God heals all our emotional diseases, that still would be quite a step.  I think more of us have emotional diseases than have physical, and surely the rate of healing there is a lot worse than the physical.

             But we have to start somewhere.  If we can quote the 23rd Psalm, The Lord is my shepherd, then we should quote the 103rd Psalm, He heals all my diseases.  Believing this is the first step in seeing it.
