SO YOU THINK MODERN MEDICINE AND GOD WALK HAND IN HAND?

Why not listen in to this conversation. Then tell me what you think.

The Face Off

CONTESTANT #2: “I swear by Apollo the Physician and Asclepius and Hygeia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant.” (taken from the Hypocratic Oath)

CONTESTANT #1: “Don’t follow their thinking! I am the God that healeth thee. You are not to follow any other gods. You are not to seek out any other help but that which comes directly from My own hand! By My stripes you were healed. I died for your sins and your diseases. I endured them all on the cross. I paid the price for them all on the cross.”

“By the blood I shed, you no longer have to be bound by any sickness or sin, or any other work of the evil one. If any among you is sick, let him call for those believers whose faith is strong and mature, the “elders”. Let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in My name. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and I will raise him up!”

CONTESTANT #2: “Hi. This is Dr. Morgan’s office. We’re calling to inform you that it was malignant, and the doctor needs to see you right away. You’ll have about six months to live. There is no hope for you. But we do want to make these last months as pleasant for you as possible.”

CONTESTANT #1: “My dear child, don’t believe them. I love you. I created you. And by the stripes of My Son Jesus, your healing has been secured. I have given you all that you need for while you dwell on earth. It is not My will that you die spiritually by your sins or die physically by disease. My Son paid a dear price so that neither of those things must happen to you. Take My remedy. Enjoy it. Believe Me and you will see it!”

CONTESTANT #2: “Just take this medicine. If you experience any of the side effects listed, let me know right away. There is one other drug I can give you. Let’s try this one first. Nothing in this life is perfect, but we can try to get as close as possible for you.”

CONTESTANT #1: ”Don’t partake of their sorceries! By My stripes you were healed. I shed My blood for you. It’s unlimited and it’s free. It is totally effective on all diseases, and the side effects are wonderful - righteousness, peace and joy! Receive it and apply it to all of your needs!”

CONTESTANT #2: “I think we’re going to have to operate. We’ll make the incision as small as possible, but that’s the only way you’re going to get rid of this! If we don’t, it will just progress, and you will surely die!”

CONTESTANT #1: “Don’t let them cut you. They pierced Me with a sword and they drove nails through My hands and My feet. I let them do this to Me so that you wouldn’t have to let them do that to you! They abused My body so that yours would be well! Disease cannot destroy your body, but you must drive it out and keep it out by faith. All you need is My blood and your faith! Believe it, with your whole being, and you shall surely live!”

CONTESTANT #2: “I’d like a check-up. It’s been a while, and I am getting older. If there is any problem, I’d like to catch it before it’s too late!”

CONTESTANT #1: “I give you My Word. It does not change as you get older! It applies to all your afflictions. I am Alpha and Omega; I am the Beginning and the End! No condition is too early or too late for Me!”

CONTESTANT #2: “Take your clothes off. I need to examine your body.”

CONTESTANT #1: “Your body is the temple of My Spirit. I want you to dress with modesty and holiness. No one is to look upon any of your nakedness unless it is a husband or a wife that I have given to you for a holy union!”

CONTESTANT #2: “You need to get your immunization shots! The injection site may be sore for a while, but hopefully you won’t get the sickness, or at least not as bad!”

CONTESTANT#1: “Do not fear any diseases that the world fears. I had nails put into Me, so they wouldn’t have to put needles into you! My blood covers you and protects you from all the works of the evil one!”

“Through the power of My blood, I will protect you and your loved ones from disease, just as I protected my children for forty years as they crossed the desert. Think of it – not one of them got sick even once – for forty years! This same protection I make available to you today through My blood.”

CONTESTANT #2: “I’d just like to see how I’m really doing.”

CONTESTANT #1: “Walk by My words, not their observation of you. The just shall live by faith. If you need to look at your flesh to see if My Word is true, then you are walking by sight! I want you to walk by faith!”

“Your assurance comes from My words, not theirs.”

CONTESTANT #2: “I just want to know what I have.”

CONTESTANT #1: “I’ve already told you - you have protection and healing from Me.”

CONTESTANT #2: “But God uses doctors!”

CONTESTANT #1: “Only to illustrate failure. I used the prophets of Baal, too. First they did their thing and failed, then I answered Elijah’s prayer! I use their failure as a contrast for My glory!”

CONTESTANT #2: “Luke was a doctor you know.”

CONTESTANT #1: “Yes, and I used to be a carpenter. Peter was a fisherman. Matthew was a tax collector. Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. All of these people dropped their worldly calls, and went on to follow Me!

That means, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also.”
