“If you are willing to improve your health, develop and deepen your relationship with your Creator, and become available for a transformed life, read Kathy’s book.”

The book is getting phenomenal reviews.  I’ve now had a second person tell me that the introduction has dropped them to their knees in tears.  When I was writing the book I had this sense that it was a powerful message.  I will also admit there was level of fear and hope that I wasn’t wrong, but essentially an inner drive kept prompting me on and is the reason I allowed the journey to continue even though it was taking everything from me.  I talk in the book about how anything of real value will have an equal and opposite “push back” which to me explained why the price I was paying to write it was so high.  I posted a graphic on Facebook recently that said “If God asked you to write a book that you knew would take away your marriage, your child, grandchildren and more, would you?  It continues to be an interesting thread.  Losing my family was hard but I knew this book was being called in by God and that it’s quite possible I came to Earth to live this story to write this book.  It’s a vital message for humanity at a critical time.

“I was not compensated by goods, gifts, or services for writing this review. I first had the pleasure of hearing Kathy as a guest on Lloyd Burrell’s Electric Sense radio interview in which she explained how she overcame EMF (electromagnetic field) sensitivity by changes she made in her home. She was articulate, personable, had a sense of humor, and had spiritual depth (believed in God). I decided she had a message I needed to investigate, so I bought her book.

“Getting Well God’s Way” is four resources combined together:
1. A detailed resource list of alternative healing modalities and supplements Kathy used to heal herself from her health challenges. She is a detailed researcher and has provided the reference information and/or links to enable the reader to obtain further info.
2. A comprehensive list of scriptural and other quotations that helped her reshape her belief system and that are worth reflecting upon.
3. The techniques Kathy used to deepen her spiritual connection, align herself with God, and obtain God’s guidance and help.
4. A fascinating autobiographical account of her spiritual growth and development, with anecdotes and examples of interest to those who wish to grow spiritually.
Because of my own health challenges, I was familiar with much of what Kathy discusses. However, she discusses additional topics with which I was unfamiliar, that I will further pursue, to improve my health.
Although Kathy is well versed in the Judeo-Christian tradition, those of us from other religious backgrounds can benefit from her advice to align with our Creator and to surrender to the Creator’s direction for our personal lives. Books on spiritual development and growth often present the insights of the accomplished mystic or saint, and do not provide information on how they progressed from beginner to mature. Reading Kathy’s book is similar to studying with a mystic, and has many helpful tips and advice to how to walk “a closer walk with Thee.”
No book is perfect; this one has a few flaws. I hope the next edition will include a detailed table of contents or an index. However, it’s the message that counts. I am thankful that Kathy Bates has provided such a valuable resource and even has a Facebook page with more information.
If you are willing to improve your health, develop and deepen your relationship with your Creator, and become available for a transformed life, read Kathy’s book. When I read it, I thought of the following quotation from C.S. Lewis:
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.” — C.S. Lewis ” Richard L.

“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.”

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.

Does The Lived-Out Version of Modern Christianity Now Meet the Scriptural Criteria for a False Religion? Yes, it does!

 

My perspective here is heavily influenced by my story of becoming very ill shortly after giving birth to my first and only child. I did as the modern church model taught me and went forward for prayer and began seeing doctors. The leadership prayed the standard prayer asking God to “give the doctors wisdom in their diagnosis and treatment… Amen.” In the next 18 months, I saw 11 or 12 doctors who through a process that wreaked of flawed logic, eventually named my numerous diseases.  They had no solutions other than prescription drugs to manage my “inevitable” decline.  “Incurable” was the consensus so I canceled all my medical tests and follow up appointments and began chasing GOD down for answers.

Be aware:  This is my story.  I am not recommending that anyone cancel medical tests or abandon their medical relationships or medication.  I’m simply sharing MY STORY. There are plenty of natural health practitioners who can guide you to lifestyle changes and help you reduce your medication.  I didn’t have many options and wasn’t on any medication so I could make some choices you may not be able to make, unaided.  You might choose to read my 300+ page book titled, Getting Well God’s Way, available on the GettingWellGodsWay.com website and on Amazon.com (links at the bottom of this post) while you look for a reputable natural health practitioner and start learning the basic insights on how to care for your body.

First, I had lots of people pray over me and even watched my husband receive a supernatural healing to 3 cracked vertebrae by an Asian man who came through the local churches for a while. I received no healing.  I didn’t understand why God would heal some and not others but the Christians were happy to suggest that I must have some hidden sin that kept me from God’s favor. (John 9:2) I knew that wasn’t true and continued to seek answers. I decided the doctor to doctor search wasn’t in line with my actual, personal beliefs. By demonstration it indicated that I “trusted in, relied on, and had confidence in” humans and a human system.  (Zondervan’s Amplified Bible expounds on the word “believe” in this way consistently.)

Very few humans had performed well in my life thus far so going from human to human in search of answers wasn’t really in line with my true beliefs, which is very important to getting well.  It wasn’t MY beliefs I was following as much as it was just the way the modern culture and churches had adopted and I followed along because I didn’t know any better.  Over time it became clear that this way was failing and that I needed God’s help. I believed with my whole being that He could help me if I just knew how to get that to happen.  I began to truly consider my authentic beliefs, separated from the model, and realized that I also believed that running from doctor to doctor was likely offensive to God. Sure enough I found lots of scriptures condemning human reliance and promising a curse for those doing so. One verse Psalms 33:22 in the Amplified version really got my attention.  It reads “Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.”  Those words “in proportion” seemed to jump off the page at me and I realized the cultural/church model I’d been following, although surrounded in prayer and good intentions, had me waiting for doctors and hoping they had my answers in a lot greater proportion than the waiting on and hoping in God.  In fact, going from human to human seemed random and self-reliant at best.  I wanted to change the priority of my seeking and START WITH GOD instead of doing what the culture taught and dragging God along with me.  It made sense to stop everything and start over with a different emphasis.  I wanted God to direct my steps which would then seem like my reliance was in the right place and my follow-through would then be an act of obedience. So, I canceled several tests and the follow-up medical appointments and slid down the kitchen wall and cried.  It was a cry of surrender, repentance, relinquishment, and an appeal for God’s help.

Six months passed without any profound revelation but I maintained my stance. Although my health had continued to decline that was true even with a dozen doctors involved so I continued my course.  My faith was now solely invested in God and I was waiting and hoping solely for Him.  If that “in proportion” thing was right then I wanted 100% of my “waiting and hoping” to be invested in God so that He would 100% show up on my behalf.  Sure enough I had a profound encounter with God during a prayer six months after I canceled all my medical appointments.  I received the most amazing hug I’ve ever had in my life and heard a voice say “Everything’s going to be okay but you have to do exactly what I tell you to do.  Do you understand?”  I was then led to a book on my kitchen shelf, which was the first of many books about regaining my health that I’d read in the next few years.  I was then led to clean out my pantry, refrigerator, and medicine cabinet of all man made, chemically-laden products.

I became keenly aware of an Unseen Presence that seemed so close that I could feel It’s breath on my neck and hear guidance about more ways I needed to change my life.  I was inspired to read incessantly and made definitive changes to my lifestyle. I eventually reversed my Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Disease, my Advanced Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease, my all-seasons battle with allergies, recurrent infections, bursitis, intestinal woes, hormone issues and more.  I heard this Loving Presence gently scold me “…For goodness sake girl care about what you put in your body and what it does to you. Don’t just eat anything you find on the store shelves. This is a fallen world.  They have different standards than I do for you.” I got a horrific, wonderful, life-shaking education while gathering less and less respect for human “institutions” who should’ve known better and done better.

God made the point that there was no reason for Him to heal someone if they didn’t know what was making them sick.  “If they’re healed and return to the same diet, lifestyle, relationships, and environment that produced disease in the first place, they will only become sick again.  Remember ‘My people perish for lack of knowledge.'”  I spent the next few years immersed in reading and learning how many ways we’re making ourselves sick that cannot be prayed away or reversed with a drug. It takes knowledge now to stay healthy; knowledge beyond what a pharmaceutically-trained medical doctor has and even beyond the modern pastors’ ability to pray an effective prayer. They can’t teach what they don’t know so the flock suffers, the culture suffers, and so does the testimony of Christianity.

I had no idea that doctors didn’t take classes in nutrition; that they only study diseases, drugs and surgery.  If your condition is due to something you’re doing to yourself isn’t it a little silly to just pop a pill instead of determining the cause and addressing that? And if the pastor/shepherd has no relevant knowledge how can they even hope to help their flock?  In fact, they have farmed-out the care of their own flock to a system of healing that’s completely void of wisdom and understanding and puts God in a secondary position.

In time, God taught me that John was injured and needed a Divine healing and my circumstances required me to be educated about my condition. In my case, it was the FDA-approved mercury amalgam fillings in my teeth that were creating an autoimmune disease and a rampant decline in my health.  Beyond questioning why this practice is still allowed while we know that mercury is one of the most toxic substances on the planet, I also learned that some people have genes that keep them from being able to process mercury and other toxins as easily as others.  Remember the Mad Hatter?  Back in the 19th century felts used to make hats were preserved with mercury.  Those working in this occupation along with some who merely wore the hats developed Mad Hatter Syndrome and yet, it’s still used.  I then learned that the proper authorities won’t admit this and strongly discourage any dentists from acknowledging this to avoid liability.  I further learned that our government oversight agencies had become wrought with fraud in the food and drug arena and there are major cover-ups and corruption; this was just one of many human failures.

It wasn’t hidden sin, it wasn’t incurable, and no amount of prescription pills, nor prayers so limited that they only acknowledged the modern pharmaceutical method was going to fix me! I had to have them removed and replaced by a dentist trained in this highly toxic procedure and then I spent over a year doing all kinds of detox methods. Although I’m no longer sick this is a heavy metal that stores in organs and bones so it’s a relevant consideration in my health now and can make me more vulnerable to other problems.

Mainstream medicine and the FDA’s “it’s perfectly safe” turns out wasn’t quite true.  It isn’t much of a surprise that humans would be capable of this.  Jesus told us that we’re being sent in as sheep among wolves, that there’s an enemy here we should be looking for, and how we need to remain set apart seeking God and His ways.  We were warned! What was surprising is that the modern church has fallen fully into compliance with this flawed model and even formed an unholy reliance upon it to the exclusion of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and insight.

One day my car battery wouldn’t start and my husband poured a soft drink on the battery connectors.  As I watched it eating the corrosion down to shiny metal I heard God ask, “Now tell me again why you’ll pour that over ice and drink it.”  I felt like an idiot. It was these moments that made me realize we’d lost our common sense as the churches now almost all have Coke machines on their campus just like the culture at large.  We have lapsed into a cultural coma where we mindlessly do whatever standard the television and status quo dictates instead of seeking God’s ways. Again, we are doing this in direct conflict to biblical teaching.

A few years into my repentance I would need this same sole reliance on God’s leading after I fell twelve feet from an unrailed bridge into a shallow river and broke my spine.  My x-rays showed I was a paraplegic but God wasn’t surprised by this event.  In fact, there was a visitation by an angelic light nine months earlier which caused a different outcome and was even recorded in a journal. I was further injured 18 months later and again this event was preceded by a word of knowledge shared with my then husband.  I was in horrendous pain for most of 11 years. Again, I grabbed onto God and sought guidance.  As God walked me through the methods and resources to truly heal my body I watched in horror as this pharmaceutically-minded culture turned many pain patients into full blown pharmaceutical junkies, which has now evolved into a historic opiate addiction issue in the culture.  Those “pain clinics” are essentially legal drug dealers, not healers.

Both circumstances of illness and injury meant that I had to completely leave the beaten path to get well and boy are there social penalties for doing so, even in the churches! As I read about soft drinks being used as a solvent to clean blood from highways and how the intense acidity level in these drinks radically shifts the pH of the blood out of a healthy range it was obvious to me that this was a disrespectful way to treat my body which is in fact a gift from God and the temple of the Holy Spirit. I found lots of scriptures telling me that there were innate consequences and that I would reap what I sowed. There was no provision that said, “Unless you know who Jesus is.”  Satan knows who Jesus is “and trembles.”  We don’t even do that!  In fact, it’s so strongly worded in scripture that it seems we have a greater responsibility to live a lifestyle based on wisdom, discipline, knowledge, and understanding because we claim to know Jesus Christ. I saw nothing to substantiate what I saw being done inside of modern Christianity.  As I passed the Coke machines at the churches and saw the junk food passed out at every social it became clear that one of us was wrong.  I understood what God was showing me. What I didn’t understand or expect was the hostile rebellion I’d receive from other Christians. They wanted nothing to do with this message or my conviction that this should be part of our walk of faith, individually and corporately.  I saw no variation in the churches we attended over many years. They all had this same limited approach to health and healing. Healing was always presented as if it was something that would be prescribed by a doctor or prayed in by a pastor as if the benefactor had no responsibility in the matter.

Sadly, not one piece of information I needed to get well came through mainstream medicine and not one thing I needed to do to get well was covered by insurance.  The same is true of the church.  I laugh at this culture now demanding that everyone have affordable access to this medical system that has no answers in 70 to 80% of the cases. They only pay for Rx drugs and surgery and quite apparently aren’t interested in other methods of getting people well, which should give you a clue about a patient’s true value and their intentions.

Likely the best resource I own is a Zondervan’s Dictionary of Bible Themes.   It lists ideas and themes by topic and then gives scripture references to back up the point of view presented. After going through the tumultuous experience of getting well outside of cultural norms I have an awareness I cannot tame.  The level of damage being done to the testimony of Christianity is overwhelming to me.  Christianity is a collective!  We may each be having our own experience but as a group we can and should have a profound impact on the culture around us.  When I look at the disease statistics today and listen to the prayer requests at churches it’s clear to me that the world has had a much greater impact on Christianity than Christianity has had on the world!

So, I recently looked up false religion in that dictionary and it lists the following attributes:

  • it ensnares it adherents,
  • offers no help in time of need,
  • prevents people from finding the truth,
  • it devalues, degrades and defies,
  • leads to immorality,
  • enslaves,
  • receives the full force of God’s anger.

First, when the modern churches are bringing Coke machines and junk food into the church they are ordaining them as an approved lifestyle. These manmade products are full of chemicals and without question do harm to the physical body.  Junk food wasn’t addressed in scripture because it didn’t exist when the Bible was written.  It would however fall under the doctrine of wisdom versus foolishness and certainly would fall under the care of our body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is sacred.

Instead of being taught God’s way to live I was being shown a lived-out model of Christianity that taught that I can eat and drink anything I want and when the consequences of that behavior showed up that I could go to the pastor/shepherd/leadership and they would pray a magic prayer for the medical doctors to essentially know which pill to give me.  The same doctors who have never taken a course in nutrition, usually have a soft drink machine outside of their office, and have participated in selling a lie that pills produce health.  At no point was I confronted with any truth that could change the course I was on.  In fact if I were a timid and compliant person who needed the approval of others, I’m pretty sure I’d have suffered horribly and died prematurely for trusting in, relying on, and having confidence in these erroneous, culturally-conformed teachings that have invaded the modern church. I watch the many who are in fact “ensnared” by their lack of knowledge and their inability to think outside of typical dogma.

Second, by praying a prayer that only acknowledges mainstream medical doctors the sick person is encouraged towards mainstream medical doctors to the exclusion of any other methods that might actually bring some help!  Everyone acts like mainstream medicine is the only option.  It’s not!  There’s a lot of amazing natural health practitioners out there but insurance won’t pay for their services.  There’s a growing number of traditionally-trained doctors who are going into natural methods but you’ll generally have to pay cash because the insurance companies won’t reimburse what actually makes people well.  It’s one method to secure the patron will only come to you, even if their remedies aren’t the solution.  It’s been so entrenched that people can’t think outside of this model.  They’ve been trained by the television which sells 80% of their advertising to pharmaceutical drug manufacturers so they are no longer a source of truth…and again the churches have ordained this model to the detriment of the nation and again, the testimony of Christianity has been damaged.  I now haven’t been to a mainstream medical doctor for illness since 1989.  Can you imagine if most of professing Christians had this same testimony?  Yes, these teachings offered me no help in my time of need.

Again, I will stress that the only reason I was able to break out of the group-think is because I learned long ago not to trust in humans and I was being immersed in an experience that showed me what was possible when my faith (in God) was rightly directed.  As I went through this journey I was shunned, made to feel tolerated, and basically I was being punished socially for taking a different path.  Most people would’ve caved in and gone along to get along.  I’m much more invested in truth but want you to see that YES, this way, would absolutely prevent many from finding the truth and insights I share in the 300+ page book, Getting Well God’s Way.

Devalues, degrades and defies?

Have you ever stopped to imagine what it might be like to be a child of royalty? Wouldn’t you imagine that the idea that  “You can’t act like that, you are part of the Royal Family…” is a relevant topic.  What God shared with me is that I am in fact a “child of The King” and certain trashy foods that undermine my health is not wise or appropriate for who I am.  To treat the human body, this temple of the Holy Spirit, as if it matters not what we eat and drink and how we live “devalues” and “degrades” it.  To bring Coke machines and junk food to the church campus presents a doctrine by model that says we aren’t the children of The King, just commoners.  It’s degraded or down-graded in importance, compared to how God sees it!  The final blow is that these teachings “defy” so I went to look it up and one of the examples is “defies authority.”  In this case, I take that to mean that we are in defiance of God, His authority, and His ways of wisdom, knowledge, understanding WHILE accepting the ways of the world, the way of foolishness, the way of ignorance and putting His name on it.  We have essentially conformed Him to the image of the god we want instead of worshiping Him on His terms.

Does it lead to immorality?  Well, synonyms for immorality are wicked, depraved, corrupt, and dishonest so let’s see if this modern church model has taken us there.  In my view, when you hold yourself out as a pastor, teacher, shepherd, a church, and then teach people that they can eat and drink anything they want and have no lifestyle that resembles wisdom, discipline, and understanding in direct contrast to scriptural teaching this is wicked, depraved, corrupt, and dishonest.  Beyond that, it creates statistics that are quite an indictment against the adherents belief system.  Sources cited in my book, Getting Well God’s Way, reveal that 73 to 88% of people in the US identify themselves as “Christians” so whatever “Christians” believe” and DO establishes the quality of the entire culture.  It’s just a numbers thing.  If they all eat and drink health-destroying food products and believe the lie that a pill will erase the consequences, then the culture is sickly and the pill-pushers get rich off the deception and the congregants are incapable of taking care of themselves; they’re dependent victims.  If modern Christians decide to live the true teachings of their Bible and get well according to God’s ways then that too would establish a quality in the culture.

So let’s see where we are:

Most recently the 2014 Social Index Report shows the US to be in last place for life expectancy among 70 other economically-equal countries. Our infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba and the disease statistics are going through the roof.

The US makes up 5% of the global population and consumes 70% of the global market of pharmaceutical drugs.  (If drugs worked we should be 70% healthier than the rest of the world it seems.)  So if 73 to 88% of the US claims they are Christians and yet we consume 70% of the pharmaceutical drug market, that indicates quite clearly that the Christians are sustaining the pharmaceutical drug market!

The most disturbing statistic is that the Baby Boomers are the largest group to ever go through the Medicare system and people are sicker than they’ve ever been.  Nobody knows how to get well or stay well because they all bought into the pill-for-every-ill idea and now they’re just lazy and uninformed about getting well and staying well.  There is no money set aside for this expense and it’s estimated to be ten times our national debt! ($190 TRILLION)  

Quite ironically, it appears we are going to go over a financial cliff from self-indulgence and human reliance while ignoring any personal responsibility or responsibility for the testimony of TRUE Christianity!  You might want to stop and think about how God’s going to view this since Christianity was supposed to be the bearers of light to show others the way.  Again, according to Zondervan’s Dictionary of Bible Themes “Faithlessness is equal to disobedience.”

By spending so much money in the pharmaceutical industry consumers have created a system that is corrupting our health, our economy, our government, true science, our media, our environment, and more.  Fraud, deception, and now “medical kidnapping” incidents are happening at an alarming level so they can test drugs on kids in the CPS system, which only requires one signature.  (http://medicalkidnap.com) One story in my files happened in Pflugerville, Texas, a neighboring suburb.  The most famous may have been the Jennifer Peltier case but it’s more widespread and less talked about.  Reportedly, Arizona’s CPS system has doubled it’s child capture rate for the last two consecutive years.  There’s more going on here than you know; much more.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” I Peter 5:8

As well, in an 18 month period between July of 2015 and December of 2016, I think the last count was nearing 60+ holistic doctors that have died under mysterious circumstances, and our pharmaceutically-supported media is silent.  Reportedly they found disturbing ingredients in vaccines; ingredients known to cause cancer and to keep the body from utilizing Vitamin D, which essentially cripples your immune system.  Some of these doctors were getting patients well and one rumor suggested that one of the doctors was about to go public before his office was visited by the government and the next day he was found floating in a river with a gunshot wound to his chest.

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Massive fraud has been documented by a lead scientist whistleblower at the CDC with 10,000 supporting documents!  Did you hear that?  The LEAD SCIENTIST in a study is coming forward with evidence of corruption in the vaccine oversight agency and one-half of our children will be injured by these practices and our government will not subpoena him.  You can watch the documentary detailing this at http://Vaxxed.com.  So, who will serve in our military when half of our children are disabled?  Who will pay to take care of these severely damaged adults after their parents pass away? This one subject alone is overwhelming but unavoidably must be dealt with and yet the Body of Christ is uninformed and unconcerned, to say the least.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

The Bible tells us in Ephesians 5:11 that we are to have nothing to do with evil but are to expose it.  Instead, the post-pharmaceutical age of churches have ordained it’s use to the exclusion of their own teachings, and to the exclusion of wisdom and common sense.  The modern churches have conformed completely to the culture when Romans 12:2 reads “Do not be conformed to this world….”

I’d say the vast portion of our culture is in fact enslaved.  They can’t get out of the cycle without being taught how to take care of their body and from what I’ve seen the modern church has no knowledge and thus far hasn’t been interested in teaching them.  We are facing a $190 Trillion-dollar expense with no money set aside so I’d say the next few generations are enslaved, if we survive what’s ahead.

It’s also a form of brainwashing as people are completely mindless in their pursuit of health and healing in this model.  They get a symptom, go forward for prayer,  and run to the doctor.  They go get a pill and go back to the same lifestyle and environment that produced the issues in the first place.  “Go and sin no more or something worse may come upon you” indicates the need to change something or identify the root cause! No consideration is given to what they may be doing to accelerate dis-ease and they receive no instruction;  just hand-holding and well-meaning looks of concern.  How sad!

Over the years I’ve had modern Christians say “My spirit is the part going to heaven, not my body…  You shouldn’t judge people for what they eat…  They’re nice people…”  First of all that is not what the Bible teaches. In The Message version of the Bible I Corinthians 6:19b reads, “The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you.  God owns the whole works…so let people see God in and through your body…”  There are many more verses; one even states that people who put their fleshly appetite as a higher priority than God “are enemies of the cross of Christ.”  It’s all in the book I wrote.

Also, I do not purport to judge a person’s soul; that’s God’s job but we are given the duty to discern or qualify good from evil and wisdom versus foolishness in ourselves and others; judgment is required in order to do that.

Next, God doesn’t care how nice we are if we are deluded, sickly, supporting evil, and investing our trust in human institutions over and above Him, especially while providing a bad testimony of Christianity to the world.  Christians need to remember that Hezekiah destroyed the bronze serpent because it had become an object of worship just like the mainstream medical system of today.

Since repenting of my former way and conforming to God’s ways I have not needed a medical doctor for illness, since 1989.  When I was injured not only was I grateful for their surgical skills but also for the knowledge God gave me which vastly accelerated my healing.  I had nurses from three floors coming to meet me as the rumors spread about my body’s healing abilities.  I was happy to testify about the God that taught me the importance of self-care as a means of worship and honor to my Creator.  I’m still having to differentiate myself from this modern Christianity and have even seen an atheist client convert from hearing my stories.  She understood the need for a God that would teach, engage, and even require diligence of those who profess to love Him.  “If you love me keep my commandments.” Meanwhile pastors at the modern churches seem too intimidated to require much of their congregants.  They just clean the pacifiers and offer them a soft drink, a sincere conversation, and a heartfelt prayer.  They never see the bigger picture it seems.  How sad that this witness has been rejected in favor of such carnal desires but then He did say “even the very elect” will be fooled.

If you find this information shocking that’s a barometer on how IN the world you are. Your lack of knowledge is an indictment about your priorities in life.  The state of this “Christian Nation’s” health is an indictment on Christianity’s failure and conformity to a foolish and reckless world. God is calling The True Church to WAKE UP and “come out of her.”  Will they answer?

Shepherds…. According to Henry Blackaby, author of Created to Be God’s Friend, Experiencing God, and a notable Christian educator and elder…. you are responsible for the character and health of your flock and before God you will answer for the impact, or lack thereof, on the culture.

Believer’s…You will not escape by blaming the pastors.

Remember, “Not all who say Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven…”

The words sorcery, witchraft, and pharmakeia (the use of drugs, medicines, or spells) same, same.  Referenced in Strong’s Concordance – 5331)  With this in mind let’s read Revelations 18:23

“And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”

One final comment.  I found a scripture 2 Timothy 2: 3-5 ends with “…their conduct nullifies their claims of faith.”  It seriously is about what we DO.  This way is not of God!

PLEASE WAKE UP AND COME OUT OF HER!

I strongly suggest you go spend a few minutes cruising the rest of this blog to see what God’s been up to over the last few years.  I need to update at least one testimonial but you’ll get the point.

You can order a signed copy of the book on the website by clicking on the link below: https://GettingWellGodsWay.com. 

It’s also available on Amazon in paperback by clicking on the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Well-Gods-Kathy-Bates/dp/1508839514/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8  

Please note that I am offering it on Kindle under protest because I don’t think screen time is a good idea when you have the option to avoid it.  It’s also the kind of book that people like to wag around and write in and dog ear the pages.  I recently updated the manuscript to reflect a recent health issue from exposure to electromagnetic fields. It was yet another act of God saying “I’m going to interrupt your life and show you something that I need you humans to see.”  Again, He walked me through an education about our unprecedented use of electronics with little understanding about what it’s doing to our health.  Because the human body is bio-electric it will attract electric fields which is a reason we ground our homes and buildings.  Some balk at this idea for reasons that amuse me.  It’s just common sense after you shock someone when static electricity builds up.  Some equipment won’t work unless properly grounded. As it turns out that mercury that was put in my teeth that caused autoimmune disease makes me even more of an “antenna” according to most sources so I’m having to learn how to address yet another issue from human error. Our body is not grounded since we are no longer connected to the Earth’s protective field in our daily lives and many, many diseases are originating due to this “dirty” electrical environment.

     Humanity is bringing new forms of very dense MANMADE energies into our living environment with reckless abandon and from what I’ve seen in the food and drug arena it’s clear that this will be yet another area for devastating consequences but it’s good for business if you’re in mainstream medicine.  It’s this issue that brings in a true visceral sense of the Holy Spirit grieving.  Every time I think about what I’m learning God brings my attention to the knowledge that they’re even installing toxic electrical equipment, such as the alarm system box in baby’s rooms, Wifi, and Smart Meters on the neighboring wall without questioning anything.  So it wasn’t really a shock to hear a microwave weapons expert for the Royal Navy talk about crib death from EMF (electromagnetic fields) exposure; proving yet again that running to a doctor can be fruitless and dangerous as the real threat is undiscovered.

I created another blog to share the insights of this leg of the journey.  You should go spend some time there, FOLLOW both blogs and you’ll be able to see where this story goes from here.  A podcast seems likely in the near future so come up beside me and learn how you might help GOD get his message out. The shortened version of this blog page title is NoATT.blog Click on the link below:  http://neighborsorganizingagainsttrespassingtechnology.blog

We are living in a different world.  Once you understand that most of our illnesses are due to our lifestyle and environment then you’ll understand why taking a pill won’t fix it. Give glory to God by getting well!  Your health is part of your testimony and the collective testimony of Christianity could be vastly improved if they’d develop “health” and live that in contrast to the established ways of the world where the wrong ideas are being promoted and sustained.

I pray you’ll feel compelled to read the book God had me write.  The Body of Christ has in fact drifted off into a false religion.  It’s as inappropriate as dressing up like a cop.  The church isn’t supposed to just look like a lighthouse in a storm, it’s supposed to be one, to have answers, wisdom, knowledge….and yet, it turns out to be a mirage in cases of physical health issues.  It’s very sad compared to what could be.

May God have mercy on us as we seek to correct our path.

Kathy
