Getting Well God's Way

This review is for A Message to the Modern Churches, which also serves as the introduction in Getting Well God’s Way.  After several readers reported crying, getting chills, and two have told me it dropped them to their knees in tears, I decided to extract it for ease of sharing.

“I loved this piece, A Message to the Modern Churches. Kathy really nails how orthodox religion focuses on prayer and miracles for healing, while completely ignoring the importance of personal responsibility. As a pastor’s daughter, Kathy knew the Bible and the ways of the church inside and out. So, when she became seriously ill with a whole host of different illnesses, she did what everyone else did. She prayed to God for a miracle. She prayed that he would make her well. She also did the culturally acceptable thing. She went to dozens of doctors and took all the drugs they prescribed to her. But after eighteen months of praying and praying and praying, and also being a good patient, her health got worse. What she was doing was not working.

At that time, something told her she was on the wrong track. She canceled all her future doctor’s appointment and decided to not just pray to God, but to really listen to God, and let him guide her. This was the beginning of her healing. She came to understand how modern churches are supporting a profit-driven culture that promotes sickness, not health. People were praying to God for healing, while consuming large amounts of Coca Cola, junk food, and drugs with dangerous side effects. In her studying scripture, she came to clearly see that we have been commanded to honor and care for our physical bodies and that we also have a responsibility to engage in behaviors that promote healing. As Kathy states so clearly, “Everyone wants a miracle but nobody wants to learn the accompanying lessons about how to build health or maintain a healing.”

The church has seriously reneged on it’s responsibility to teach people how to maintain their health and well-being. It has instead chosen to support the American diet of poor quality, processed food, our overly medicated drug culture, and total disconnect from nature. In this piece, Kathy challenges the modern church to go back to scripture and begin to teach what Jesus taught us, all of it. Not by cherry-picking what is most convenient, but by a holistic approach that understands that physical and spiritual health are built the same way.

This is a challenging read if you are stuck in your ways and don’t want to change. But if growth is your goal, if Christ Consciousness is your goal, and if you are committed to this path, then don’t waste another minute. Read this right away.”  Toby M.
