Dr. Tenpenny introduced me to the world on The Robert Scott Bell Show-archived interview

Only God can arrange things like this!

Monday on The Robert Scott Bell Show 7-9PM EDT:

For our rerun episode for labor day we have a true champion for vaccine freedom and healing liberty, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is back to call out those responsible for this ongoing vaccine holocaust. Where does the buck stop? Could it be the doctors? Dr. Tenpenny is an outspoken advocate for free choice in healthcare, including the right to refuse vaccination. As an internationally known speaker, she is highly sought after for her ability to present scientifically sound information regarding vaccination hazard and warnings that are rarely portrayed by conventional medicine. Most importantly, she offers hope through her unique treatments offered at Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center for those who have been vaccine-injured. Dr. Tenpenny is also an expert on women’s breast HEALTH and the use of iodine for disease. Please get her book, Saying No To Vaccines and give a big thanks for all of her efforts in compiling the science of vaccines failures and injury in one place with the Vaccine Research Library.  RSB will also be joined by surprise guest Kathy Bates who has written a new book, Getting Well God’s Way with the express intent to wake Christians from their medically-induced disease state.

Robert Scott Bell Radio Interview

Enjoy

What’s happened since the book was published.

   

God asked me to write a book in the summer of 1992 and I finally published it.  It took 21 years to live through the challenges and get it written. I could never be absolutely certain that it was God who asked for it to be written and not my own compulsion until I published, witnessed, and documented what has happened since it went live.

The first reader sent me a private message on Facebook. It read, “Your book is well-written, intriguing, informative, comforting, alarming, and important.”  That was my first clue that it had met the intended goal but she was my cousin so I discounted it accordingly.  Though now, years later, I see it completely woke her up and changed her life.  At the time, I wasn’t sure.  I was exhausted, broke, and frankly I was a little angry at what this story had required of me; what it cost me!  When I finished it I held the laptop up and told GOD exactly that and said “If anything happens with it from here it will be because YOU caused it.”  I NEEDED TO SEE THAT IT WAS IN FACT HIM, WHO COMMISSIONED THIS BOOK!

In the book I wrote about a non-profit health insurance ministry that operates as health insurance, meets Obamacare requirements, is faith-based and cheaper than any other insurance I ever compared it to.  The members share the costs of other members claims to a certain point ($5000 I think) , and then a AAA rated insurance company kicks in up to a million dollars as I recall.  Anyway, there is one aspect of this insurance that I adamantly take issue with and it’s the requirement that I have an affidavit signed by a pastor that says I’m active in church, don’t smoke, and only drink in moderation.  Because this book is my story of how the typical church teachings failed me miserably in my efforts to get well I don’t think it’s appropriate to ask this of me or anyone, until the modern church comes out of this worldly way perhaps.  Many, I should actually write “most” pastors have junk-filled vending machines on their church property, serve foods that undermine health and have no clue how to restore health or what the bible even teaches about the subject, and routinely steer their congregants to Rx-drug pushing doctors who also have no clue how to get people well.  We’ve all been betrayed and have invested heavily in the idea that prescription drugs can replace a lifestyle of wisdom and self-discipline.  “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Remember that verse?

Two days before publishing the book on Amazon.com an ad came across my Facebook page for a company offering a similar product and they don’t require this affidavit.  I signed up for more information on their website, did some more research, found a few more companies, added a few more pages to the manuscript, and published the book.

Two days after publication a woman called me from Ohio who works with this second company asking if I needed more information.  I told her that I can’t afford health insurance of any kind and that I hadn’t been to a mainstream doctor for illness since 1989 so in my view, it’s a luxury that will have to wait. “But I did put your company’s information in the book I just published.” She asked about the book and an immediate bond formed and she ordered the book while we were on the phone. Four days passed and she wrote an email but called before I even read it.  “The book arrived two days early.  It’s beautiful and much bigger than I expected, VERY impressive. Does Dr. Tenpenny know she’s in your book? She’s about to, she’s my neighbor!”

She began reading the book and within a week was writing back, “Wow, amazing insights.”  At the same time other people were starting to contact me about their reading experience. One man told me that reading the preface and the last page dropped him to his knees in tears.  It was then that I realized that everything I’d hoped for could actually be starting to happen.

This journey has been incredibly hard, and filled with intense pain on many levels. My 25 year marriage didn’t survive it.  When Satan’s lies are about to be exposed and the truth is going to set people free, he comes with relentless force. Anyone who wasn’t buckled down got shaken loose.  My now ex, disconnected from God, turned our only daughter against me and they have jointly withheld a grandchild that I raised for the first 19 months of her life. Two more have been born that I’ve never met. In every sense of the word this calling has required me to choose between my family and obeying God’s call. All I could do is endure and hope that all the rampant destruction has a greater purpose than anything material I could hope to acquire on this planet.

One year after leaving the toxic family situation God began shutting down a small business. I had to sell my car, move in with my mother, and eventually sold almost every possession I had because God demanded that I “Finish the book.” I grieved and cried and many days I couldn’t even get out of bed for most of 3.5 years, while I wrote. This was happening while my ex was earning a record income, buying a house on the water in Corpus Christi, TX, upgrading the boat he had, and enjoying our grandkids.

When the calls began coming in, the private messages on Facebook, and the personal accounts of people crying, and dropping to their knees I knew that God’s anointing was on the book. So I called Nancy in Ohio as I felt GOD nudging me to go meet her.

The next part won’t make as much sense unless I share that back in 2001 a phenomenon began in my life in that the clocks started becoming somewhat animated.  I began seeing 2:22 and 4:44 and 1:11 more than usual.  My now ex told me I was just looking at the clock too often.  But the very next time we got in the truck, when he turned on the key it was 1:11 and I pointed that out saying, “See? It’s like that.”  Over the years it has continued and began to expand to where it was 5:27 (5 + 2 = 7) or 6:42 (6 = 4 + 2). It simply felt like an animation which I ultimately attributed to the idea that it was just someone in Heaven letting me know that they were aware of me.  I was in a tremendous amount of physical and emotional pain at this time so I thought it was nothing more than that.

Shortly after leaving the family I was staying with my mother and a call came in from a woman in Houston. She had literally searched for me on the internet due to a site I had up about a specific health issue.  She lost the page and then found it again and was very excited to talk to me.  When we hung up I wanted to see how long we’d talked and when I went to the phone log it showed that the call had come in at 1:11 and we hung up at 3:33 which meant that we had talked for 2 hrs and 22 minutes, so I showed this to my mom.  We laughed and shook our heads and later headed out the door for dinner. When I turned on the car the clock read, 4:44.  She was now seeing what I was seeing and later she found a book at Barnes & Noble booksellers titled, Angel Numbers 101. This book gives the meaning for every number from 0 to 999 and it helped me understand more specifically things God wanted me to know and the number 5 has been significant.   (Note: I do not suggest that you go buy this book and try to make things happen or try to live your life by it. I certainly don’t.  I was just watching life and this is what was going on.  I find it amusing and a “candle on a dark phase of life” if you will.  Anyway, 5 means change. 55 means “out with the old and in with the new” and 555 means HUGE changes are coming.  Each time the number is repeated the message is amplified.  Without this book, without this knowledge I got up one day and said, “Today is the day that I file for divorce” and I called the lawyer.  As I was sitting in her office I did realize it was Mexico’s Day of Independence, Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May but it didn’t dawn on me until later that night to look it up as it was 05/05.  When I went to the grocery store later that day my groceries rang up at $65.65 and that was the hint that there was something I needed to know. I’ve been documenting this in my journals and saving receipts throughout the years because it’s just sort of weird but undeniable and I’m not the only one having this experience. Again, I have nothing invested in this other than observing it.

So, here I am on Hotwire shopping for travel packages for my trip to go see the executive director of the insurance product and one of the options is for a flight with a “Total Travel Time” of 5 hrs 55 minutes.  Mom, Sis, and I all laughed and said, “Gotta take that one” and so I did. Now you have to understand that because of this journey money is a concern. I don’t need to be jumping on a plane and going to Ohio on a whim. Seeing this flight travel time in a familiar way helped me sense God was in this and that I should go.  I entered the debit card information and when the total rang up I belly-laughed and so did Mom and Pam, my sister. We couldn’t believe it. It was $555.40. I immediately thought “Dang. I wish it had been .41 then it would be all 5’s.” Before I could even share that thought the system recalculated and it came up $552.53, ALL 5’s!  We laughed and I took pictures of all the screens showing this shown below.  The day before I left on this trip I pulled into a parking spot and when I turned around to hit the lock on the key fob of the borrowed vehicle I drive and I noticed that the bright red car’s license plate ended in 5555.  I laughed and went in.

When I got to Ohio I found out that Dr. Tenpenny was in town and that Nancy had scheduled us a meeting. I was thrilled to meet such an avid warrior on the front lines of a subject we both feel passionate about. After visiting for 30 minutes Dr. Tenpenny said that she had a radio interview scheduled at 8:00 (it was 7:30), on The Robert Scott Bell Show, a nationally-syndicated talk radio show, and that she wanted me to be on the interview. What? I couldn’t believe it but was thrilled to take this opportunity with her.  At the end of the interview, which went very well, she leaned back in her chair and winked at me saying, “Welcome to the national stage” thought that’s not how it turned out because GOD had yet another challenge and mission He needed me on.  I’ll post a link to the other blog at the end of this post.  It’s likely MORE URGENT than this core message.

As I left, Dr. Tenpenny handed me a card with her contact information and I put it in my purse.  Later I pulled it out to enter it in my phone and could hardly believe it.  Now I understood why, try as I may to publish the book on 04/04 it just wasn’t going to happen. I could actually feel the energy pushing back against me so I blew it off and went to bed. As I looked at the card I now understood, her phone number ended in the month/date that I did publish the book. Funny to see Heaven play with us like this.

I came home and posted the picture of us and made it my cover photo and shared the story of meeting her and was instantly taken in by new Facebook contacts and groups who are on the same page.  Crazy God-stuff.

A few days later a woman from Australia contacted me from one of these groups, a zealous Christian, and we began chatting by private message and I ended up sending her an email copy of the book preface. She later wrote me that she’d been covered in chills and shivers while reading it. Another woman told me that she woke up at 3:00 a.m. and couldn’t go back to sleep so she grabbed her iPad and when it came on the image of the book was staring at her in the dark.  She said, “God told me to get up, get your credit card out and buy this book now.”  She too reports on how it’s changing her life.

In a few days the husband of the woman in Australia asked to speak to me by Skype so I set everything up and we talked for three hours. Ninety minutes into the conversation this man said, “I have something to tell you. I started crying shortly after we began talking and I can’t seem to stop. When you speak, I hear God, I feel Him. And I haven’t heard God in a very long time.” He never did stop sniffling and feels strongly that this is a message from God for the Church.  Another man who bought 50 copies to give out in his small island town in Maryland cried the first time we spoke by phone. “You’re a messenger from GOD and if we don’t listen to you we deserve what comes next.”

After 7 years of knowing I needed to do a podcast, I FINALLY bought the equipment yesterday after someone sent me a large donation.  I laughed when I saw the total, especially after getting notified overnight that two products had changed in price by a few cents.  Well, it was just enough for God to put His thumbprint right in the middle of the story.  THIS IS HOW HE GETS ME TO KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT.  How can I not?   

Coming Soon!

Here we are now and it’s February of 2023 and the story is still going on. I’ve been to hell and back a few more times since this post…wondering if this story ever comes to an end, a peak, a finish. Looking for GOD with great anticipation as I’m a very tired warrior trying to wake up a very self-indulgent CULTure, EVEN among the professing Christian community. So, here’s the most recent created work:

Related to the information within a dense book GOD INSISTED be written, Getting Well God’s Way

and the Public Health Warning (Featured Post) on the NoATT.blog

May 27th, 1990, A.D.

I wrote down a message GOD spoke to me.

“Isaiah 54 Shall Apply” is what it read.

I noted it in a first adult journal and then I went to bed.

28 years went by before someone brought this back to mind.

When I went back to read it, I was amazed by what I’d find.

It was like reading a story of where all I had been.

It even showed my divorce, which I didn’t see back then.

I recalled one idea that I’d “be moved to a place with a gemstone foundation”.

NOW, I knew I was to awaken people to a dangerous situation.

I had sought to live a PURPOSED LIFE seeking God’s presence every day.

So He could tell us a story and help us find His way.

It’s been a challenging but fruitful journey, an alternative path I took.

God then insisted I write an extensive book.

It had been out about a year when the story took a radical turn.

There were urgent things He needed to show me – we have a lot to learn.

Our launch of massive technology is the subject that’s caught His eye.

If we don’t stop this a lot of things will fry!

As it turns out as we arrive at 2023, I found myself thinking about May 27th, 1990, A.D.

How I’m exactly where that chapter in Isaiah said that I would be.

I enjoy looking for God in the story as it assures this isn’t “just me”.

First thing I notice in 2023, is that message is turning 33.

Realizing this year, 66 years I’ve been livin’

But realized too I wasn’t actually 33 when it was given.

“But wait a minute” my mind ran ahead.

“How many days between those two?” I said.

I could hardly believe the answer when it was shown to me.

3 weeks and 3 days later I turned 33.

One step further, as I look around.

Another set of 3’s is what I found.

February 2023 helps me to know.

We arrived here 3 years and 3 months ago.

I can’t believe my eyes as I look across the nations.

And see the boundless destruction caused by corporations.

Think of the seeding birds, the flora, and the bee

Living without them is a life we don’t wanna see.

So, when I say “I’ve been sent” to help you see the error in humanity’s direction.

I hope you too can see the thumbprint of God and know the information comes with deep affection.

Before I go, I just have one question.

What will it take before WE THE PEOPLE respond, does this need to be an even bigger lesson?

And for any Christians who think this is “New Age Numerology” here’s a solid Christian teacher talking about the significant of 3’s in the recent story about a pro football player who went into cardiac arrest on the field and what happened as a result of that. It’s at the 32 minute mark…

Walking in Faith

Something seems to have taken me over. I’m writing like a maniac. Maybe it’s because the manuscript I’ve been working on for 19 years, cataloging my journey is finally with the editor.  I’m running out of money and credit and feel like the pavement is coming more clearly into view. 

When circumstances FORCED ME mid-project… I JUMPED, determined to be happy and supported and truly loved and to complete my mission without resident forces working to the contrary.  I guess I finally had to choose.  That’s unfortunate but I had God and a bunch of serendipitous connected events propelling me forward, making me believe (some were pure magic) like Heaven was playing with me.

Now I’m actually approaching people in the film industry BECAUSE doors are opening before me and those are the things that make me keep going, OPEN DOORS.

I hope you’re able to feel the exhilaration I’m feeling.

 

Thoughts in my head:

THIS IS NUTS KATHY! GO GET A JOB, A REAL JOB!
Stupid speculative crazy dreamer. Ughhhhhh

BUT THERE’S AN UNDENIABLE PEACE THAT SAYS I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK DOING EXACTLY WHAT I’M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.

I covet your prayers for increased discernment, increased faith, steadiness of mind, provision, a deep sense of security or the right JOB.

Unfortunately to produce something like this book which will confront many people, ideas and call humanity to step up their game, to awaken and now the screenplay.  This requires a lot of solitude, a pace in life not caught up in busyness.  I guess it’s feels like birthing.  Sacred, active and intentional.

Seriously, please pray for me.

That rational, logical  unbelieving me would just like to have a job but I get it.

I get it that this is important, maybe more important than even I understand.

Heart be still

Mind be still

Spirit, LISTEN

Breathe

Trust

Shalom

Is suicide a sin?

I remember how shocked I was when I first read this scripture.  I had no idea it was in the bible and I don’t think it means “go take a prescription drug.  I take it to mean “endeavor to heal” not mask symptoms.  Truly endeavor to GET WELL.

“…he who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide.” Proverbs 18:9b

When the Doctors and the Prayers for Healing Fail, Where Do You Turn?

untitled-design-4

     Hi, my name is Kathy Bates

     I’ve recently published a book that’s taken 27 years to bring it to it’s peak purpose and the timing couldn’t be better with our world in it’s current state of upheaval.  The book was inspired by my story of gradually failing health, which became noticeable in 1985 but deteriorated rapidly after the birth of my only child in 1987.  I was a typical American, church-goer, mom and wife which meant that I turned to the mainstream ideas of Christianity (faith) and allopathic medicine (Rx drug philosophy) in an effort to get well.  After seeing eleven doctors in eighteen months I had to admit that I was in worse condition so I canceled the remaining medical tests and doctor appointments and slid down the wall of my kitchen and cried out to God. Because I truly believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience it only made sense to seek guidance from THE spiritual source, THE CREATOR, my Heavenly Father. Psalm 33:22 in the Amplified version of the Bible held a clue. “May your loving kindness and mercy be available to me in proportion to my waiting and hoping in you.”  Ha. I’d been waiting in doctor’s offices and hoping they had my answers.  No wonder it wasn’t working.   

     I felt that God would have no agenda other than my highest good; I simply needed to learn to hear His guidance.  I KNEW GOD WAS REAL because He met me in the trenches in a powerful way in 1982, shared on page 1 of the book.  I already knew that He could hear me, and would respond. I just didn’t understand why it hadn’t happened yet and was about to realize that I was going to have to go to a deeper level in my spiritual walk to get these answers.  2 Peter 1: 5-7 talks about adding desirable traits to your faith so you won’t fail; things such as virtue or character, knowledge, and temperance… https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+1%3A5-7&version=VOICE

     Six months passed since I’d canceled those tests or seen any doctors and my health continued to decline but I had made a definitive decision to invest my hope in God’s faithfulness and saw no other option so I waited, this time with determined intentional listening, ready to obey.  One day a confronting event drove me to pray what I deemed a “final prayer”, which meant that I heavily contemplated my choice of words.  I was going to ask God to show up and help me one more time and if nothing happened, then I would accept what seemed like my fate and learn to do it with grace.

     The event that unfolded was a profound spiritual manifestation and I was immediately given an amazing embrace, heard spoken reassurance, a conditional warning, and then I was led into a life-changing relationship with God regarding how to restore and maintain my health.  I became immersed in books about people overcoming disease, mainly by a change in their diet but He certainly made sure to put some reading that was outside of my comfort zone on the list. Some of this information would only make sense many years later.  Sure enough, as I changed my ways, I was rewarded with deeper knowledge and experiences with specific information that led me into full recovery.  I was able to reverse my Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Disease and Advanced Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease and eventually resolve the Fibromyalgia flare events, and reversed eleven years of crippling sciatica. 

     Much of what I needed to know was outside the bounds of conventional thought and medical ideas, which means I would’ve never found the answers I needed had I maintained the approach adopted and ordained by Christianity.  It was through this journey that I began to see how Christianity had abandoned God’s ways detailed throughout the Bible and put the world’s ways in their place. If you’re trying to build a church business that’s a good way to get customers in the seats but if you’re trying to please God, that’s a really ignorant thing to do and scripturally promises some tough consequences for those who use God to build a business.  As for those sitting in the pews, you’re about to see the dangers of being in groups where a “hive” mindset or “collective consciousness” forms. Churches are no exception! They may be well-intentioned but humans are humans. Put them in groups and some strange ideas can become cemented, even if they’re wrong.  When you add the religious element it can get even more unbalanced.

     So here I am, God is leading me to the truth that high-quality, whole, unprocessed, fresh foods were His desire for me. He showed me that my body is a temple for the Holy Spirit and I should regard it as such.  Unfortunately every church I attended had Coke machines and junk food widely available, chronic and recurrent disease among its members, and literally no knowledge about how to pursue health outside of the hope for a Divine miracle or a traditional medical doctor’s perceived magic.  “Hell-be-damned” with what any statistics say, “Ignorance is bliss and Jesus loves me” was about the depth of their knowledge.  The over-emphasis on teachings such as “we’re free in Jesus” and “by His stripes we are healed” without any stipulation of the conditions that often accompany God’s promises, collectively presents an idea that Christians are void of responsibility for their health. Even further, this claim is often tied to the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ as if to say, “Jesus died so I don’t have to be a mature, knowledgeable, self-disciplined person.  It’s led to a prevailing belief that Christians can be ignorant and irresponsible, dismissive of any duty or responsibility, as if any laws don’t apply to them however, I don’t see them trying this attitude with the law of gravity.  Honestly, it’s become nonsensical.  Finally, because the Spirit-led information I was being taught was so contrary to their model I became curious to learn the actual teachings in the Bible.  Wow!  How is it possible to miss the volume of scriptures that support a disciplined and informed lifestyle which benefits the individual, the corporate testimony of Believers, the community, the economy, and ultimately glorifies God, validates the truths in the Bible, and promotes the right people, products and ideas?

     Although I gratefully relied on the skills of surgeons after a broken spine in 1994, I haven’t been to a mainstream medical doctor for illness since 1989. Can you imagine if this were true for most of Christianity? And it correlates perfectly with when I brought my physical health into my spiritual and devotional life.

     I was also given a gift of healing in 1991 and told not to tell my pastor or promote it in the church as it was basically for my own education.  I didn’t understand that at the time but God clearly brought specific people into my life for me to learn on and then used this experience to show me the crazy ideas present especially among the Body of Christ.  The most prominent lesson was on the futility of healing someone who wasn’t willing and/or didn’t know how to maintain their health which would squander His gift.  God continued my education and had some very confronting words to say about this behavior, especially that it’s encouraged in churches.  Another interesting set of revelations was the common heart attitude seen in those who did receive healing.  They were zealous in love and service to Him with fiercely teachable spirits.  Those who were not healed had traits of being selfish, worldly, and unteachable.  They often had some idea they were hanging on to or a benefit they were receiving from being sick or injured. Surprisingly some were healed in spite of themselves.  There is much to teach the Body of Christ on this one topic alone.

     In 1994 more knowledge was required after a broken spine and a second serious spinal injury within 18 months requiring three surgeries and drastically affected my life for eleven years.  These were not accidents but were foretold by God and noted in the journals I’ve been keeping since 1989.  These events brought in a necessity for me to submit to even more learning as I again had to rely on God to teach me how to heal the variety of pain that this brought into my life.  In my view I had three choices.  I could become a prescription drug addict, end my life, or get well.  I clung tightly to God and allowed Him to use this experience to further teach me about the human body.  It was a tough curriculum but highly beneficial.

      Overall I was shown how the way we eat, live and medicate promotes products, ideas, people and companies and will ultimately create the culture we live in.  One charter school for troubled youth in Appleton, Wisconsin demonstrates clearly how food affects behavior.  The environment was so violent that a policeman interviewing for a security job refused to take the job out of fear for his life.  Paul and Barbara Stitt, two people with a profound story of their own regarding the power of natural foods, offered the school $100,000 provided they be allowed to take over the food. The school accepted and all un-natural foods were taken from the campus.  One year later there was no violence, no absentees, no attitude issues and the kids were focused on physical fitness and their academic future.  The same is true for a prison system that Barbara Stitt was in charge of.  Bringing in nutritious food dropped the theft rate by 73% and a similar drop was seen in violence.  (YouTube.com has many videos about Paul and Barbara Stitt).  These events should’ve changed our culture permanently but that doesn’t happen because there’s no sustained awareness.  Eat your vegetables, drink plenty of water and exercise doesn’t drive a lot of profit.  It’s powerfully simple wisdom that requires a higher consciousness to fully embrace.  If there isn’t a lot of profit in something then there’s no money for media coverage.  Over-the counter and prescription drugs, manufactured food, soft drinks, alcohol, insurance companies, banks, entertainment, restaurants and the like are what produce enough profits to have industry representatives, lobbyist’s and commercials.  One Facebook graphic suggests that you “Don’t eat anything that has a commercial.”  So, what does this have to do with churches?

     According to a recent search on Google I was encouraged to learn that 73% to 88% of this nation identifies themselves as Christians (including Jehovah’s Witness’ and Mormons).  That tells me that anything we get behind as a group could be aggressively influenced.  Scripturally we are called to shape the culture around us through standards of holiness which would obviously empower the right things.  The Bible also leans heavily towards stewardship, wisdom and inherent consequences for doing otherwise.  We live in a world where neurological and environmental poison is knowingly introduced into our food supply, fed to our children and incorporated into our everyday life while wisdom, sanity and non-toxic cures are considered “alternatives.”

     One of my favorite quotes is attributed to Edward R. Murrow, a days-gone-by radio host I believe.  He said, “A nation of sheep begets a government of wolves.”  At the moment I’m typing this, this nation has just spent almost $1 Billion on what is apparently a failed attempt to launch a government effort to provide health insurance for its citizens, or the poor, or whatever term you care to give it.  When I began this journey I was suffering with chronic allergies and asthma.  I had severe PMS, mood swings, suicidal depression, infertility, severe digestive problems, low blood sugar and Hashimoto’s Disease.  I had chronic fatigue and cervical degenerative disc disease, an immobilized metabolism, bursitis, a chronically dislocating shoulder, and recurrent urinary and respiratory infections.  I was taking all the typical remedies with all the empty explanations of “unexplainable but normal” and “incurable” and multiple dismal projections including total cervical fusion by 1993.

     Mainstream Christian ideas and mainstream medicine both failed to provide answers I needed to get well from illness or injury and both lay claim to having insider information.  If I can ever get the populace to realize that the consumer is the most powerful force on the planet and link that with their spiritual and devotional efforts, we may change the world.  The consumers decide consciously what kind of world they choose to create by making conscious purchases.  If it’s garbage and undermines health, stop buying it!  What kind of world do you want to live in and leave to your children?   In fact, everything I did and continue to do to get well and stay well is/was not covered by my health insurance.  Health insurance will not cause you to eat right and exercise.  And if you know how to get well and stay well then the odds of you actually needing medical intervention are quite slim.  However now that the culture, (including the churches), has behaved like sheep and lived an unthinking life, propelling a self-feeding and toxic cycle, it has indeed ushered in a wolf pack government that stands to further wreck our economy by feeding the delusion that health insurance makes people healthy.  If the citizens were healthy there wouldn’t be this perceived need.  Again, with the churches making up a large majority of the culture we could have and should take this on as a spiritual challenge to positively redirect this culture.  I have said and will continue repeating that one of the most patriotic things you can do for your country is to “get healthy!”  If you have to drive a lesser car or scale down your house, jewelry or travels then so be it but it’s time to truly examine this culture and to start supporting the things that REALLY matter.  Things that are priceless, like our health, shouldn’t be taken for granted.

“Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country.” 

John F. Kennedy       

     While our soul may be saved through faith, the teachings regarding stewardship of our physical man have been largely ignored which has contributed heavily to this junk-culture we now live in and God is asking us to change this NOW!!!  If you stop buying it they’ll stop making commercials about it and start making commercials about what we are buying.  The consumer gives things value or negates their value.  God is asking us to take a serious look at what’s valuable.

     I learned early on that not only was the Christian community off-course in this area they were not in any way welcoming of ideas that would require them to give up their soft drinks and junk food to the point of blatant hostility.  Sadly this has not changed in my 27+ years on this journey.  I finally stopped going to church because it was too painful to watch.  Although my relationship with God is alive and well I no longer want to be part of a religious system that would adamantly reject deeper knowledge to protect a carnal appetite.

     When we eat, live and medicate in a way that promotes chemically-laden, toxic foods, and the goofy idea that we can take chemical drugs or buy health insurance that will “keep us healthy” this will obviously fail us as a culture.   This way of life profits junk food manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies who then make hefty financial contributions to career politicians whose very careers hinge on donations so then they become dependent on this “dirty money” so they propel legislation forward that protects, promotes and prospers a self-feeding agenda that unfortunately only functions when citizens are sickly.  These fortified companies are undermining our food, drastically limiting our medical views in favor of an elite group that does not have the best interest of the individual or society in mind and typically destroying our environment.  This entire cycle is created by the consumer!  The Body of Christ has an opportunity as a major consumer group to change what is being promoted!  You’ve likely heard of voting with your wallet.  Personally I think God’s desire is for Christians to be so committed to their devotion in their everyday life that the politicians would be pandering to us and the businesses we support.  Can you see how the leverage can be shifted?  We empower or destroy.

“What you do not understand, you will not value.  What you do not value, you will destroy.”

     I was eventually led to become a licensed massage therapist in 1995.  I’ve had some amazing experiences as opportunities presented while working with clients which let me know that I don’t work alone.  I don’t mean to sound weird, just factual and hopefully inspiring to others to seek a similar experience.  We are after all mere humans who in my view could use some help.  Unfortunately the culturally-conformed way of insurance-reliance and a traditional medical approach eliminates many qualified practitioners like me from people’s pursuit of health.  One of God’s early revelations was my need to go to practitioners as directed by Him rather than only those paid for by my insurance.  It had never occurred to me that this American way was limiting God’s ability to lead me to the needed answers. He also wanted me to invest in my health, in myself. It’s kind of a grown up thing to do.

     Early in my journey God’s spirit would constantly whisper the word “Holiness” which I later learned has the same Anglo-Saxon root word as “health” so they are obviously related.  Another time I was cooking my healthy dinner and He spoke, “This is your worship.”  These insights helped me see that this way of life was a manner of honoring God with my physical body which is certainly established through many scriptures.  Scripturally we are called to conform the culture to God’s ways but the churches have instead become conformed to the world and its ways and has certainly created a less than holy and less than healthy nation.

     “We, God’s church, are the greatest hindrance to revival.  We need not wrestle revival from the hands of a reluctant God.  Revival is a gift, not a goal.  God is simply looking for a decent place to put one.  As we become that holy place, we will see the knowledge of His glory cover our nation as the waters cover the sea!” 

Eddie Smith, U. S. Prayer Center

      If your group is ready to be challenged and encouraged in a spiritual activist fashion I’d love to talk to them.
