    INTROD?CTIONThis boo( is written for both physicians and patients*owe+er, as one with a lifetime career as a medical doctor, - fully reali:e that far more

    patients practice prayer as part of their daily li+es than do physicians* This is not to say that doctors

    are not Christians9- ha+e met scores of men and women in this field who are people of faith* But itis rare that spiritual healing becomes part of their practice*

    -t seems there has been an in+isible wall built between doctor and patient regardingspiritual matters9as if it is a topic not to be broached*

    - belie+e the a+erage patient would li(e nothing more than to hear a doctor say at the end of anoffice +isit 6after gi+ing a medical diagnosis8, 3- also want you to (now that - am praying for you*3

    ;ow< ;ould that e+er change the physician.patient relationship* This brings me to the focus ofthis handboo(* Since - (now that the +ast ma0ority of patients desire a spiritual component to healthissues, - am turning most of my attention directly to doctors* ;hy= Because if we can see atransformation in how medicine is practiced, not only will patients see greater impro+ement, butthere will be a new dynamic introduced to the field of health*

    So, please understand that when - am spea(ing directly to doctors, - am doing so on behalf ofyou the patient*

    The purpose of this handboo(, therefore, is to encourage you, as a physician, to understandthe eternal realities we are dealing with in todays world* As an influential leader and teacher in themedical field, you are uniquely qualified to bring the light of >esus Christ and is power to thosein need* ?ou can become an e+angelistic leader in your community, and you can help to establishtrue hospitals within the Church*

    So many churches are e@periencing spiritual star+ation, and there is only one treatment forthis condition9round.the.cloc( feeding by those who are equipped to engage in spiritual warfare*/od wants is healing.deli+erance power to be manifested in is Church* This will happen asleaders such as you learn to use is ;ord as the sword of the Spirit* As this ta(es place, worldwide

    re+i+al will happen* -n fact, this is the only way that such a spiritual awa(ening will become reality*ur hea+enly )ather is calling us bac( into fellowship, relationship, commitment, and unity*

    -t is only when this happens that we can become a +ictorious, united army under is leadership*

    MAGNIFY YOUR MEDICAL TRAINING

    ;hether you reali:e it or not, as a doctor you ha+e been trained to care for the sic( and in0uredthrough /od* -t is is power of healing that you are administering to your patients* This has ta(enplace in the spiritual realm e+er since you finished your medical training* ;hether you (now it ornot, you are /ods instrument of healing*

    nowing this, you can now ta(e the wisdom and (nowledge you ha+e acquired and apply it to

    the spiritual realm within your healing ministry* This will magnify your medical training ahundredfold, leading you into spiritual re+elations that come from your utili:ation of the ;ord of/od in your +itally important wor(*

    This boo( is your short.term residency in the oly /host, a supernatural graduate program thatgoes beyond the 2** le+el* ?ou might be wondering how all of this can happen* ?ou simplyincorporate the power and wisdom of the oly Spirit into your wor( as you use your s(ills in thediagnosis and treatment of your patients* This will bring a wonderful balance into your practiceby combining spiritual healing and deli+erance with medical and physical treatment*

    All thats required is a simple ad0ustment in your approach and your mind.set9a paradigm shiftin your world +iew and the way you approach problems* - (now you want to ha+e the proper attitude9a deep desire to care for your patients* Belie+e me, basic spiritual foundations and theapplication of scriptural (nowledge to your wor( will help you be more effecti+e in all that you do*

    - would li(e to point out to you that -m not tal(ing about (nowledge in general, because thats

    not true (nowledge* True (nowledge is the (nowledge of /od* ;orldly (nowledge will puff youup, but (nowledge of im will build you up*There is a le+el of spiritual life that will enable you to go beyond simply belie+ing in miracles to

    actually li+ing in them< This is why -+e written this boo(* - want you to li+e in the supernatural realmon a daily basis so that you will be able to bring that realm to your patients* - want you toe@perience that higher dimension of reality in the spirit realm* -t will ma(e all the difference in theworld to your whole life and your medical practice*

    THE GREATEST MIRACLE

    'ets get right into this by spea(ing the following prayer of Sal+ation out loud e+en by yourselfso you can guarantee your eternity*

    This is truly the greatest miracle that could e+er happen to you, e+en beyond getting healed,which you will continue to learn about in your reading7

    ()esus, I need *ou Thank *ou for dying on the cross for my sins I open the door of my heart and

    life and receive *ou as my &avior and +ord Thank *ou for forgiving my sins and giving meeternal life Take control of my life and make me the kind of person *ou want me to be(

    The apostle Daul writes,($o you not discern and understand that you the whole church atorinth. are God's temple /His sanctuary0, and that God's &pirit has His permanent dwelling in youto be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually.1(61 Corinthians E71#8*

    The ingdom of /od is within you* is power is at wor( within you* The oly Spirit9a+eritable dynamo of spiritual power and energy9li+es inside you and wants to flow out fromyour life* ?ou can let is power flow into the bodies, souls, and spirits of those you minister to*This, then, is your personal handboo(*

    The greatest doctor who e+er li+ed9>esus Christ9 will personally train and guide you, asyou read and follow its principles*

    AN EXHILARATING ADVENTURE

    ear doctor, its time for you to fulfill your full destiny as a physician by incorporatingspiritual principles of the /reat Dhysician in your important wor(* These are the closing hours ofci+ili:ation, and the world is crying for re+i+al, restoration, and the glory of the 'ord*

    ?ou will play a +ital part in the fulfillment of this prophetic word7 (!ut the time is comingwhen. the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the +ord as the waters cover the

    of the oly Spirit we can come against the forces of e+il that are manipulating so many people andconditions throughout the world*

    'et /od ta(e control of your life* 'et im dwell richly within you* Set your heart on (eepingthe 'ords commandments* Spea( the name of >esus with confidence and authority as you ministerhealing to your patients* Use this handboo( as a spiritual resource for your life and career*

    -n its pages you will learn how to apply spiritual healing and deli+erance principles that willenable you to gi+e supernatural hope to your patients, e+en when they face physical conditions thatseem to be hopeless* Femember, with /od nothing is impossible, and e is the /od of all hope*

    As one physician to another, please reali:e that - understand your challenges, and - (now whatyou are going through* -+e written this boo( to help you* - belie+e there is so much more for you*-n truth, - (now there is, because -+e e@perienced it* Stay open* 'et /od lead you and fill you* - canassure you that your life and practice will ne+er be the same* /od bless youesus is in the healing business and that e can heal us e+erywhere we hurt* 6Femember, e canheal youe+erywhere you hurt, as well*8 -t was not easy to admit, but through this e@perience -learned that medicine does not ha+e all the answers, especially with regard to chronic and

    terminal diseases*>esus, on the other hand, has all the solutions* -n truth, e9the /reat Dhysician9is the

    answer, no matter what the problem may be* -n the same way that - wondered why peopleseemed to prefer li+ing with their medical conditions, - began to wonder why so many peopleignore >esus healing and deli+erance ministry* This is simply beyond my ability to comprehend*

    -n light of all this, one of my ma0or goals, which could accurately be called a mission, is to helppeople get 3unstuc(3 from their sic(nesses and diseases* They are 3stuc(3 because they ha+e acceptedtheir plight* )or e@ample, its their 3belo+ed arthritis*3

    This is the part - dont understand* ;hy would someone simply accept an unpleasant, painfulillness as being part of their li+es= This e+en applies to minor aches and pains, as well* - (now ofsome cases in which people could return to wor( in spite of their disabilities if they would 0ust

    agree to recei+e proper treatment, including surgery, but they refuse to do so*

    "SUPERFICIAL SPECIALISTS"

    2any people rationali:e about their situations, and this (eeps them 3trapped3 in their conditions*They dont understand that their rationali:ing can become paraly:ing* So many prefer to dependon human reason rather than searching for spiritual solutions* - (now many fol( who ha+e become

    3superficial specialists in rationali:ing3 without reali:ing that human reason has actually become agod to our nation*-+e encountered some people who go on putting up with medical conditions due to their

    subconscious need to recei+e attention, reward, sympathy, pity, comfort, affection, a sense ofbeing important, and e+en lo+e because of it* )ortunately, this is not a common situation, but suchmen and women need to reali:e and decide that they do not ha+e to tolerate their impairment orillness any longer*

    These are the people who ha+e decided they would rather li+e with their medical conditionse+en though thats not what /od wants for them* They need to ha+e their minds reprogrammed andrenewed so they can find a quality of life that has not been a+ailable to them due to their misguidedthin(ing that tells them that they somehow deser+e their illnesses*

    YOUR CHALLENGE

    Another strange situation is found in those indi+iduals who ha+e ob+ious impairment, but areactually fearful that prayer could ma(e them worse* ne gentleman with signs of an e@trapyramidaldisorder told me, 3Ho, than( you, - can li+e with the sha(ing - ha+e*3 e did not

    reali:e that no one e+er deser+es to be sic(ac(ie2ason would point out, 3-ts no longer a question of staying healthy* -ts a question of finding asic(ness you li(e*3 Though this seems laughable, it actually is a serious issue to so many*

    Sometimes it seems that people ha+e gone to what - call 3toleration school*3 By that - meanthey train themsel+es to accept their illnesses* - firmly belie+e that what you dont hate, youlltolerate* ;hen you put up with an illness, you are allowing it to continue e@isting in your body* fcourse, healthcare pro+iders and medical professionals are forced to adopt this attitude because it ispart of their training, and they may feel that there is nothing more that they can do* This is especiallytrue when the patient has been gi+en a terminal, 3no.hope3 prognosis*

    -+e listened to medical presentations in which the spea(er refers to his patients terminalcondition as 3an interesting case*3 - understand that any mention or display of sympathy is notencouraged, but 3an interesting case3 approach is the doctors way of coping with an untreatablecondition* By the way, - ha+e come to the conclusion that anything incurable always in+ol+es ademonic spirit*

    Actually, -+e learned that such a prognosis can become a curse in an indi+iduals life* -+e seen somany, including 3terminal3 cancer patients, who ha+e risen abo+e this pronouncement and ha+egone on to e@perience a radical healing through the power of >esus Christ*

    >esus is a well.(nown hope specialist, regardless of the situation* e wants you to (now thatyour hea+enly )ather is 3the /od of all hope*3

    Sic(ness and disease do not ha+e to e@ist in either your body or your mind* ;hy= Because >esusnailed them to the cross when e ga+e is life for you* (!ut He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our guilt and ini4uities2 the chastisement needful to obtain. peace and well-

    being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded. Him we are healed and madewhole(6-saiah !E7!8*

    -nstead of gi+ing up and accepting a particular prognosis, +iew it as a challenge that needs to be

    o+ercome* See it as something that is interfering with your quality of life, something that you can dealwith and defeat* As a born again belie+er, you can belie+e that death no longer has dominion o+eryou and, since sic(ness and disease cause death, you ha+e the right to refuse them, for they mustbow to you* This is such an important (ey to recei+ing your healing* 6-ncidentally, people dont dieIthey either go to hea+en or to hell*8

    'ets ta(e a loo( at Adam for a momentI he was the first man* -ncidentally, >esus became thesecond Adam* -ts interesting that the name of Adam means dust or dirt* 'isten to the ama:ingauthority he recei+ed from the 'ord7(%nd out of the ground the +ord God formed every wild. beast

    and living creature of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to %dam to see what hewould call them2 and whatever %dam called every living creature, that was its name %nd %dam gave

    names to all the livestock and to the birds of the air and to every wild. beast of the field2 but for%dam there was not found a helper meet /suitable, adapted, complementary0 for him(6/enesis $71.$G8*

    ;hat this Scripture is saying is that with the creati+e power of Adams mouth, he spo(e intoe@istence what the animals would become as he called their nature by their name* ?our tongueactually has the same power*

    ;hat about the fulfillment of the +ision that /od ga+e you that would wor( in your life,especially in practical terms=

    Dro+erbs 1%71# is a powerful statement that re+eals the answer7(% man's gift makes room for

    him and brings him before great men(?our gift is what you were designed to be (nown for* /od put this gift in each of you doctors,that the world will ma(e a way for you* -n e@ercising this gift, you continue to fulfill your +isionand find real fulfillment, purpose, and contentment in your wor(* This doesnt include the 30un(3that seems to get attached to it*

    FAITH AND EXPECTATION

    )rom the +ery beginning, as you achie+ed your role in medicine, you ha+e ta(en ad+antage ofthe power of your faith*

    ;hether you reali:e it or not, this faith has been present in practically all of your medicalacti+ities* - reali:e this is true in spite of your training, which teaches you 0ust the opposite* ;hywould you want to operate without faith=

    ?our faith in+ol+es an air of e@pectationI its belie+ing in something when common sense tellsyou not to* -m actually referring to mountaintop faith* ?our faith wal(, belie+e it or not, really in+ol+esthe presence of Almighty /od* ;hen you e+aluate it, youll find your faith continues to increase, asyou continue to apply it in whate+er you do*

    Some of your initial responses could +ery well deny the presence of this almighty deity, but dontneglect the /od who created you and will ne+er lea+e you*

    )urther, as a result of your medical training, you are inclined to separate scientific facts fromfaith, because you percei+e faith as lac(ing logic* owe+er, you had to ha+e enormous faith to li+ethrough all the horrendous challenges of medical school*

    BEYOND REASON

    Belie+e it or not, it was faith that enabled you to endure the intense preparation in+ol+ed inthose mind. boggling e@aminations that made the difference as to whether you would be able tostay in medical school* )aith helped you absorb the didactic and e+en esoteric material in all thoseintense lectures that in+ol+ed anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, etc*

    ;ithout depending on reason, you (new that some. day you would be able to apply all the(nowledge that was thrown at you to assist you in your patients care and treatment* The teaching staff

    16/81

    had their own challenges* )or e@ample, my anatomy professor would turn off his hearing aids sohe could isolate himself within his own world and not be distracted by his students and theirquestions*

    This e@plains why the students had con+ersations during class* Belie+e it or not, some e+enplayed cards in class< They apparently had sufficient faith to depend entirely on learning the

    material on their own*A great definition of faith is trusting /od that you belie+e it before you recei+e it* ?ou couldalso say that faith is unquestioning belief in /od* Femember faith cannot grow unless it ise@ercised*

    Throughout your medical practice you ha+e had to ha+e great faith in treating your new patientswho had comple@ medical conditions* ftentimes they were referred to you by physicians whowerent able to help them after a multitude of tests and drugs*

    ACTS OF FAITH

    - (now you ha+e e@perienced many such faith. challenging situations* ?ou ha+e e@pected yourpatients diagnoses to be correct because you ha+e bac(ed them up with great confidence from theirhistory, physical findings, and your training* ?ou (new and belie+ed that the treatments youprescribed would be effecti+e whether they in+ol+ed surgery, further consultations, medicaltreatments, therapies, drugs, etc* ?ou depended on your faith when you prescribed new drugs,e+en with a patients history of multiple allergies and all the other medications they were ta(ing*?ou belie+ed what you ordered would resol+e their conditions*

    ?ou relied on your faith when you performed procedures that were considered ris(y in lightof your patients circumstances* ?ou stood on your faith when you e@pected and trusted your patientwould impro+e and, of course, fully reco+er* ?ou confirmed that belief when you informed yourpatients family that he or she would do well* ?ou established your faith e+en more in your mindand your thought processes as you anticipated satisfactory results and you belie+ed that all wasgoing well* And you proceeded with all these acti+ities (nowing full well that you were alwayssub0ect to attorney re+iew*

    )aith requires action and because you belie+ed these things, you acted upon your faith anddefinitely anticipated seeing positi+e results* This is all a matter of obedience as well as faith*

    )aith wor(s as a spiritual law in the same way that gra+ity functions as a natural law* ?our faithis really resurrection power9the power that comes as a result of the Fesurrection of >esus Christ*

    ?ou dont ha+e to be told that youre not supposed to understand that e+erything will wor( out, forthis would mean you wouldnt need faith* f course, you ha+e come to understand that faith doesntrequire proof, e+en though this probably was a challenge for you to accept*

    ;e disco+er a profound truth regarding the testing of your faith in 2ar( 117$E which simplystates that you can ha+e what you say7(Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, !e lifted upand thrown into the sea9 and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will

    take place, it will be done for him(

    ?our faith becomes a power that is stronger and greater than any statistical scientific method*;hat you accomplish through your faith determines your success, because /od honors your faith*The faith you ha+e actually requires a great mental attitude and this will ma(e all the differencewhen you learn to e@pect to recei+e what you belie+e*

    Scott Sco+ille amilton said that the greatest disability in life is a bad attitude* And Kig

    Kiglar states that some people need a 3chec( up from the nec( up3 in order to pre+ent 3hardening of theattitudes*3?ou need to start depending entirely on /od by using your faith, trusting in im, and belie+ing 6the

    holy Bible8 is ;ord*?ou should be mo+ed only by what you belie+e, not by what you feel, hear, see, taste, or

    touch* This is actually the difference between re+elation (nowledge and sense (nowledge* Thenyou can start loo(ing forward to great spiritual accomplishments* -n other words, you ha+e tobelie+e it before you see it* 6Thats actually what faith is*8

    >esus wal(ed by faith* e recei+ed that faith the same way we get it7 (&o faith comes by hearingwhat is told., and what is heard comes by the preaching of the message that came from the lips.

    of hrist /the Messiah Himself0(6Fomans 1G71&8*

    earing the ;ord becomes a daily habit and it must be renewed e+ery twenty.four hours inorder for it to wor( efficiently and effecti+ely* All you need to do is to understand that all youredoing is actually spea(ing the truth in ad+ance before you see it happen*

    2ost people are unable to appreciate the immense. ness of the supernatural domain since it isnot +isible, unless /od allows one to see with spiritual eyes into the supernatural*
