Accused of being chemically imbalanced

These days it seems everyone has some physical ailment. With the advent of technology, especially so in the medical field, now everyone has some reason to take a pill. Many take a handful of pills. Is this the picture the Lord meant for His people?

So, in an age when Americans are somewhat a nation of hypochondria, thrown on them because science has uncovered a plethora of causes for disease—long before any disease manifests itself, diseases that the body following the 8 laws of health disposes of, we will probably come under the scrutiny of the world. Your slightest problem they will magnify to justify their own reckless lifestyle. In this age, any slight out of range in blood test results can cause friends and family to raise the cry to go to the pharmacy and take some pills! Or go under the surgeon’s knife! Instead of healing disease the truest, longest, and most tried method, the one that succeeds—healing disease from the inside out.

This age-old method has always worked. Much of the third world has the food that heals, rough, high fiber food in the form our Creator made it; but they have need of the pure water. Other places have the exercise, but not the food. Much of the first world has the food and pure water, but not the fresh air. Here in America we have it all, but refuse to exercise. In all cases, disease claims lives earlier than was necessary. But, this is no fault of the Lord’s first 7 of the 8 laws of health—Fresh air, Pure water, Sunlight, Proper diet, Exercise, Rest, Abstinence. The 8th law of health would bring a great boon to the whole world—Trust in divine power—peace with God, the absence of stress and the killer anxiety.

So, if you’ve been diagnosed with any health failing, first be honest and admit to failure in one of the 8 laws of health. It’s true, we inherit the propensity to certain diseases. But, many tests have proven that those genetic propensities remain not “turned on”, so that they fail to materialize when we follow the 8 laws of health. In other words, our Creator protects everyone who respects His laws. Next, take your case to the Master Physician. Acknowledge that He always prefers to heal through our obedience to the laws of health He established than to perform miracles, though if we’ve been honest with Him, He will come through for us, if He deems it best.

Then, surrender to God. Fear God and surrender to Him. Surrender to His power and authority over His children. There is no better time than in trouble! Don’t think He’s mad at you or that that’s why He gave you a disease! Preposterous! We bring on our diseases! And don’t think you’re too terrible and that you’ll wait to surrender until you’ve lived a better life. Do that and you spoiled His perfect opportunity to turn your heart back to Him.

Fall on the Stone and break. Surrender to God and to His laws, to immediately begin to heed all that you know about His expectations of you. Seek Him for more light on the general subject of health and holiness. The Bible is full of good information. And so is the internet.

If you need advice, seek someone who has a warm heart for Jesus, a spiritual medical professional. I will inform you that many women have run to the scalpel when they heard they had breast cancer, when their body had been dealing with the cancer already for a decade. There was no reason to run into surgery without thinking or praying. Or changing their unhealthful lifestyle. A three day fast and then introducing green, leafy vegetables would be a good first choice, which would have immediately begun fighting every toxin in their body causing the disease, and it would have cleared their mind for the Master Physician to give His direction and healing peace.

Lastly, don’t open up your private life to anyone and everyone. This can easily happen in simple conversation with friends or acquaintances. But, let’s be discretionary. There’s a reason your health information is confidential. No one needs to know your health information except those who have learned advice. Too many people feel self-important enough that they freely give their medical opinions. I don’t mean to be one of those folks, but I do appeal to the scriptures, “Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” (Jer. 6:16).

Today, it seems everyone has a thyroid problem. Since the thyroid is a gland that controls a whole lot of bodily functions, the street doctors will likely begin to suspect incorrect causes of yet another victim of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Some of this disorder’s rarest effects are mental. If you happen to be a believer in the Bible, and your confidant is atheistic, you might already guess what they could think—that your thyroid is the cause of your imfamous disorder, that is your deep faith in God and His word.

You likely will be accused of a chemical imbalance that has sent you into the craziness for believing Jesus will come again! You might be accosted as a maniac by people whose vicious stance against the Spirit of God skews their otherwise good counsel. But, thankfully we have written testimony of others accused of mania because of faith, including the Prince of peace, Himself. So, below are some scriptures to fall back on when accused of a Bible manifestation because of a supposed chemical imbalance. Don’t let them look at your tongue or fingernails! And don’t be surprised if they stare into your eyes to see some wildness buzzing around in your head. J

Let the deceiver continue to ruin the world, but you keep on the path of righteousness and love. Let not the demise of this old world be your demise. Remember that in the end both the Lord’s camp and Satan’s will be viewing each other as deluded. Will you be confused then? If you fear that could happen, then take this good advice, “The God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” (1Pet. 5:10). He will seal those who are settled into the truth. Let that be you by a continuous lifestyle of Bible study, prayer, service to others, and sharing with others the beautiful views of Jesus’ love that come out of the first three. Even if Satan calls that self-brainwashing, remember the utmost important example of Jesus, “But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matt. 4:4).

Blessings, brothers and sisters.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice.

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?” (Jn. 18:37,38).

 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Rom. 1:18-22,28-32).

“Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

That Christ should suffer, and that He should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.” (Acts 26:22-32).

 “And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And when His friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside Himself….” (Mk. 3:20,21).

“They said, He [Jesus] hath an unclean spirit.” (Mk. 3:30).

“And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

And ye shall be hated of all men for My name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

The disciple is not above his Master, nor the servant above his Lord.

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of His household?

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?” (Matt. 10:21-29).

 “Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes….

 “But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.…

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

While He yet talked to the people, behold, His mother and His brethren stood without, desiring to speak with Him.

Then one said unto Him, Behold, Thy mother and Thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with Thee.

But He answered and said unto him that told Him, Who is My mother? and who are My brethren?

And He stretched forth His hand toward His disciples, and said, Behold My mother and My brethren!

For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.” (Matt. 12:14,15,24-37,43-50).

 “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” (Matt. 5:11,12).

“And He said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against Me: they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, even unto this very day.

For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

And thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.” (Eze. 2:3-8).

“And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

And shall make Him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears:

But with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His reins.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest shall be glorious.” (Isa. 11:1-10).

“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me.

When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.” (Eze. 3:17-21).

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Then the LORD put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth.

See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten My word to perform it.

And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.

Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.

And I will utter My judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken Me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.

And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.” (Jer. 1:5-19).

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.” (Matt. 10:34-39).

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.” (Matt. 24:6-10).

“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.” (Mic. 7:5-7).

“Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” (Jer. 6:16).
