The Bible and Prevention 5





Perhaps the major thrust of the book None of these Diseases is to highlight the fact that God gave instructions for protecting us spiritually, mentally and physically. He gave the good news long before we understood the dangerous elements we were fighting. 

If we had heeded those instructions , our society would be better and more advanced and Christians would indeed be more like Christ. Our daily challenge is to live the lifestyle God commanded so that we can claim the promise of "none of these diseases." 

Some ways of healing.

1. Love and the other fruit of the Spirit. Love is shown primarily by being a gracious friend. In I Corinthians 13 St. Paul writes that "The greatest gift of God is love". 

2. The best human skill to show love is Listening. I think I will write a book call it "Listening is Love". My former colleague and ongoing friend, Deborah McIndoe teaches our book, Listening for Heaven's Sake every year to her high school kids. Afterwards, they write glowing letters of thanks to me for the book. It is a life changing experience. They learn to GIVE love and Listening and that comes back to them in multiple ways. 


The book The Healing Release of the Holy Spirit tells why listening is key.
