Servias Ministries Blog

Being 63 years old, people might ask how I can still be a runner at this age.  Most my age are sitting on the sidelines watching rather than participating.  I thought I would be one of those back in 2002.  That is the year I began to suffer pain in my right knee.  An orthopedic specialist told me my running days were over and I should pursue a “no impact” form of exercise to stay in shape.  I bought an elliptical machine as a result.  My friend Doug Evers suggested that I begin taking Super Limber to nourish my joint tendons and ligaments.  Since then my wife and I have been taking this product.  Two years ago I was able to start running again, culminating in running the 13.1 mile half-marathon yesterday.  I believe Our Heavenly Father wants us to be healthy and active as HE prepares us and places us in our calling.  Jesus was in the healing business and Our Heavenly Father will use many diverse methods of healing, even vitamin supplements.  Our diets today are missing many of the vitamins and minerals our parents received from their food.  Much of today’s food production does not following Our Heavenly Father’s Law on growing.  We can’t expect the food to contain as many nutrients as previous generations.  Those who have researched organic growing know all about this nutrition issue.

We take vitamin supplements to encourage wellness and have followed this avenue for years.  I have specifically taken the advise of Doug and personally believe that it has benefited me greatly.  I will be sharing these personal beliefs going forward.  Obviously I am not a doctor and you should consult with your healthcare professional before taking any new supplement.  The FDA has not analyzed my results.  Does that mean I should withhold my belief or success?  The core ingredients in Super Limber have been found to be beneficial.  Do I believe that this product was the sole reason I could run today?  No.  I simply believe it played a major role in nourishing my joints.  I still had to focus on diet, exercise, rest, and other factors in preparing for the run.  As for me, I will continue taking Super Limber and other supplements.  The results speak for themselves.

To help Doug, we created a little company to market his products to our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Not that I needed another thing to do, I simply want to serve as a conduit to help people move toward wellness in their lives.  Creation’s Nutrients is the result of this desire to help.  This little company is evolving as we speak.  The website is now operational at a minimal level and you can order products to be shipped to you.  You can also designate that 5% of your purchases support a ministry.  Currently God’s Kingdom Ministries, Servias Ministries, and Whole Heart Solutions are listed.  The website is www.creationsnutrients.us   Is the website as robust as we want it?  Not by a long shot.  However you can at least order and get shipped products you want.  Over time we will provide more information on the site to help you make better decisions about nutritional needs.  Bear with us until then.  Greater usage will uncover any weakness in the development of the website.

Each of you is responsible and accountable for your own health.  Our Heavenly Father provides physicians as the need arises.  HE also moves upon us to focus on healthy nutrition so that we are able to carry out our mission.  Many of you are already taking supplements.  Why not buy from those who share the same Spiritual goals as you?  My goal is to help support the brethren in the area of my calling.  After being on Doug’s supplements for fifteen years, I can bear witness of his intent to help in the area of wellness.  I will share other products we take and why we take them in forthcoming blogs.

In last week’s Bible study, we spent a notable amount of time covering Scriptures on faith.  Contrary to faith are unbelief and worry.  Jesus spoke of the various levels of faith: none, little, and great; and gave specific examples of each.  In our time of maturing, we must not forget to spend time in the Word for faith cometh by hearing the Word, written or spoken by Our Heavenly Father.

Mark 6:

1 Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.

4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.

In the above passage, Jesus had gone to his local home town of Nazareth.  The people there were familiar with Him and thus were more critical of what He was preaching.  It is a mistake to discount the calling of the individual because you knew them during their maturing period.  Everyone starts out as a baby.  The local people made a critical error when they focused on Jesus’ youth rather than His calling.  Their unbelief prevented mighty miracles being manifested in their midst.  They rejected His Word in that they looked at his training period as their basis for determining whether or not to pay attention to Him.  Their mistake caused many of them to continue in pain and suffering rather than be freed of their sickness and disease.  Earthly reasoning hinders Heavenly results.  The power to heal was resident in Jesus but the faith to receive was the missing ingredient among the people.

The Spiritual gift of a “word of knowledge” is intended to bring forth faith in that person so that he or she can receive from Our Heavenly Father.  If you are given a “word” that no one else knows but you, there is an assurance that the person giving the “word” has been commissioned by Our Heavenly Father to do a work.  That specific word of knowledge springs forth faith to receive.  We are designed to believe but many build walls of protection because of past abuses.  Those walls must come down in order that the individual can fully mature in the purpose assigned by Heaven.  Faith must be resident rather than cynicism, unbelief, and doubt.  Our Heavenly Father will speak through whomever HE pleases.  It could even be a jack-ass such a Balaam’s.  Each of us must remain teachable if we want to rise up to the fullness of our callings.  The resurrection of Jesus eliminated the unbelief among His disciples.  He then spent 40 days teaching them Kingdom truths in preparation to receive the Holy Spirit’s arrival on the Day of Pentecost.  On that day, unbelief was not an issue.

Is there any sick found in Heaven?  Absolutely not!  Disease is a fruit of being separated from Our Heavenly Father in some area of your life.  Whether it be unbelief, lawlessness, or some other aspect of separation, when we are distanced from HIM in some aspect, we have been opening the door for disease to enter in.  This may be a tough word but nonetheless it is true.  Unfortunately I have more than one testimony of this being true.

John 10:10  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Jesus came to give us life more abundantly, not disease, death, and destruction.  Disease destroys and leads to death.  As I have mentioned in the past, Dr. Speckhart saw how that root of bitterness caused cancer and by removing the root of bitterness, the cancer went away.  “But you don’t understand” is such a flimsy justification for unforgiveness.  There is no excuse for unforgiveness.  We have all been abused by someone in our life, unless we grew up on an uninhabited island.  Even then, we could claim our parents abandoned us and put us at risk.

Luke 11:24 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came. 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

What are “dry places”?  Those are places where the Holy Spirit and the Word of GOD are not.  The spirit of infirmity can dwell in those dry places.  If you are delivered of a spirit of infirmity or other such spirit, you must be filled with HIS Spirit and Word to prevent a worse state than the first.

Consider the fact that in the U.S., chronic disease continues to abound.  At the same time, unrighteousness and lawlessness are also on the increase and being endorsed by government authorities.  When I was young, we quoted the Lord’s Prayer every morning while in school.  We never had a shooting, stabbing, drugs, or other notable lawless acts in school.  Once the Lord’s Prayer was removed, the next generation began to moved toward lawlessness.  We have replaced prayer with metal detectors.  Now there are more children with chronic disorders than ever before.

Is there a “dry place” in your life?  Be washed and cleansed by the water of the Word.  As you are washed, you become more sensitive to health and healing.  How long will you carry a grudge?  It needs to be plucked out by the root.  Get over it!  Quit looking at the other person as though he or she is one with the sin nature.  The sin nature is separate from the person.  They are being led by that nature and need to be freed from it.  They need to be cleansed as well.

We are all servants, the only question is whom we serve.  A double-minded man tries to serve both.  As you move toward Our Heavenly Father, your health will improve.  As you continue to entertain sin and lawlessness, you open yourself up to disease and destruction.

Matthew 8:16   When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

Jesus is in the healing business.  He is not glorified by your sickness.  Isn’t it time we cleaned house and acknowledged those dry places in our lives and dealt with those subtle issues that have been “sacred cows”?  Set aside your ego.  Turn toward the Love of Our Heavenly Father in all areas.  You will then start seeing an improvement in your body.  It will slowly but surely start conforming to HIS Word.  The change may be subtle at first.  After all, you may have spent decades getting to your current state.  There may be much baggage and clutter to remove.  Repent.  Begin simplifying your life and remove the clutter from your soul.  Walk in a state of forgiveness.  Confront those who would try to pull you into the abyss, with Love.  You don’t need to fellowship with them in their darkness, they need the ministry of light instead.

Now is the time to remove anything causing your separation from Our Heavenly Father.

Pay close attention:  The goal of this writing is not to condemn the reader but to establish a greater understanding of the current system and circumstances so that we all can move toward a healthier and fulfilling life.  I expect to write several blogs concerning health and healing in the coming months.  We are not destined to die of sickness and disease.  We should expect to be in health until the day we either pass away or are changed.  Now is the time to consider better health in our path to maturity as Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father.

The focus of most if not all pharmaceutical drugs is disease management, not complete healing.  Why?  They normally do not address the root of the disease.  Instead, they manage the symptoms that are a result of the disease.  Disease management is the basis of long-term enslavement to the current healthcare system.  If you have taken drugs for a chronic condition, you have probably been subjected to “Disease Management”.  Slowly but surely, the pharmaceutical and medical industries are extracting wealth from you to help fund the continuation of their philosophy and path toward death and destruction.  Disease is not the absence of a pharmaceutical drug.

Dr. Vincent Speckhart, a highly successful oncologist, now retired, has told me on more than one occasion, “The body is designed to live forever, and the body is designed to heal itself”.  These statements are totally consistent with Scripture.  Servias Ministries is committed to illuminating that reality to all who have ears to hear.

Disease management is subtly mentioned as one of the works of the flesh:

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

21 envy, murders,fn drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Sorcery (witchcraft) is the Greek word “pharmakeia”, Strong’s G5331:

1. the use or the administering of drugs

2. poisoning

3. sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it

4. metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry

Sorcery has two main components: drugs and idolatry.  It is no coincidence that movie, TV, and music “idols” have all glorified the use of drugs.  Regrettably, several of them have died prematurely due to drug overdose.  We are warned against worshipping idols and there are plenty of examples of their failure to bring forth life more abundantly.

Warning: You should only discontinue any drugs you are currently taking after you have heard clearly from Our Heavenly Father to do so.  HE is your deliverer, not me or any other person.  Once you get a personal revelation from Scripture AND it begins producing fruit in your life, your body will no longer need the medication.  Until then, you need to stay healthy enough to obtain the revelation.  Let me give you an example.  My eyesight has been excellent over the years.  However, in the last few years I have begun using minimal reading glasses to read.  As I have pursued the Revelation of Love and HIS Scriptures on healing, my eyesight has begun improving.  My use of reading glasses has drastically declined.  HE is still in the healing business.

As we focus on health and healing, I will share my personal testimony with facts and figures.  This is not intended to exalt myself, but it is intended to provide the reader with hope and expectation that he or she can be restored as well.  Our Heavenly Father is not a respecter of persons.  Love heals.

Health and healing are primary to your economic wellbeing.  Would you rather spend money on prevention or disease management?  You cannot discuss budgets without mentioning healthcare.  The current administration has made sure of this reality in the U.S.

What is the root of most disease?  Fear, anxiety, and stress.  If you believe Dr. Speckhart’s statements above (as I do), you must consider that Our Heavenly Father made no mistake when HE created our bodies.  Any and all disorders have a solution beyond the physical.  We will pursue a greater revelation of health and healing together.  Stay tuned.

2 Corinthians 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

The current system perpetuates illusions designed to access your imagination.  More and more, those in power are attempting to control the masses by making empty promises that will never fully materialize.  The American Dream was to own a house, car, and live happily ever after.  Now it is to leverage yourself up to have the biggest house filled with the best furniture and have a three-car garage with the newest, most extravagant vehicles.  Don’t forget the Harley motorcycle for the weekends.  The “no job” loans are back for those who want to buy a house.  Need a cell phone?  No worries, the “Obamaphone” is available for next to nothing.

This illusion of wealth will not continue much longer.  Those who repent and cast down vain imaginations will recover from the illusion perpetuated by the current system.  Those that don’t, will experience a heart-stopping fear when the current system cycles into a full monetary collapse.  The solution is to take every thought captive.  This includes the thoughts of lust:  the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.  Love awaits your decision.

:6  And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Until you have taken every thought captive to the obedience in Christ, you cannot revenge (protect against) all disobedience.  You will still be subject to the illusions and judgments associated with those illusions.  The battleground is in your mind.  We MUST take every thought captive.  We must RENEW our mind daily with the washing of THE WORD:

Romans 12:2   And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

If you watched our Bible Study broadcast this last Sunday, I strongly emphasized this very fact.  Are you void of HIS Word in a certain area of your life?  Do you find yourself operating outside of Love in your daily affairs?  Maybe you should read or reread our books on Love and focus on the Love Scriptures.  Are you sick?  Maybe you are void of HIS Word on health and healing.  Maybe you are simply “double-minded”.  Are you having to take prescription medicine each day?  Maybe you need to focus on Our Heavenly Father’s ability to heal you or provide you with a miracle of restoration.  Isn’t it time that we take a stand of being “all in”?  No, I am not telling you to throw away your medicine.  Our Heavenly Father can and will instruct you on your particular situation.  But what I am saying, is to move fully toward the obedience of Christ and that does include Divine health.  What would happen if the aspiring overcomers were to fully embrace the same anointing to heal as Jesus walked in?  Obamacare would not be necessary.  It all starts with taking every thought captive.  Jesus did and overcame the temptations in the wilderness.  He then went about healing all manner of sickness and disease.  Our Bible study on “Raising a Remnant” is intended to move you to this level of maturity.  If you are not embracing this path toward full maturity, it is your decision to remain in your current state of being subject to the imaginations of the current system.  We all must change.  It is your decision to take the first step.  Are you too busy to commit?  Think about it.

Make no mistake, you can be sure there will be unintended consequences when Obamacare fully kicks in.  It’s not a matter of “if”, but “when”.  One of the keys to improving your health is losing weight, eating healthier, and taking supplements as needed..  My family is focused on doing all three.

If you need to lose weight, you must weigh yourself everyday with a reliable scale.  I prefer a digital scale that measures tenths of a pound.  Every morning when I wake up, I weigh and then record my weight.  I also write notes of what might have negatively impacted my weight.  The biggest issue appears to be excess salt.  When I eat some heavily salted food such as popcorn or chips, my body retains extra water to insure its internal equilibrium.  It usually takes about 48 hours for my body to readjust from the impact of an overdose of salt.

I received a Word from Our Heavenly Father yesterday… literally one word- inflammation.  HE then said we should focus on eliminating inflammation from our bodies.  In pondering this, I knew the EDS technology would identify invaders, the source of inflammation.  However, there are other things we can do to actively reduce chronic inflammation.

Exercise is critical to pumping your lymphatic system, the body’s drainage system.  Toxins and bacteria are dealt with by this system.  (see: http://health.howstuffworks.com/human-body/systems/lymphatic/lymph-system.htm)  I have noticed that I always feel better after my 30 minutes of exercise.  If I have been dealing with a virus, my symptoms diminish.  A virus produces bacteria and that bacteria must be dealt with by the body.  Exercise promotes the processing by the body of this bacteria.  (OK, this is the layman describing the process).

Eating healthier is tougher than we admit.  It takes real commitment.  If you want to know how to prepare for Obamacare, you must eat healthier and stay out of the doctor’s office.  Most doctors are “treaters”, not “healers”.  They have been taught to prescribe pharmaceuticals to treat your symptoms, not deal with the source of the symptom.  They protect themselves legally by operating under the acceptable “standard of care” umbrella established by the American Medical Association.  Who is to say what is best for my body besides me?  Who can claim expertise in having full knowledge of all the toxins, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and the various diseases that I have been exposed to over my lifetime?  Only my body.  Do I consciously know the full list of invaders?  No.  But my body does.  Within our bodies, we have a complex system that knows what we have been exposed to, when, and  the relative impact to our current state of health.  As we focus on improving our health, we can “listen” to the body and be sensitive to its needs.  There is no reason you can’t tap into this aspect of your bio system.  In one of our recent Bible studies, Dr. Speckhart illustrated the use of a pendulum in determining whether a food agreed with your bio-field.  That is a starting point.  If you ingest something that disagrees with your bio-field, you are probably promoting inflammation.  If you do it long enough, you have created “chronic” inflammation.  This has a major, negative impact on your state of health.  Drug trials have no full biological history of the participants in the study.  This is why some people die during a large trial.  The chemical they take in reacts with existing toxins in their body and overtakes the body’s defenses.  Death results.  This is one reason many pharmaceutical commercials spend 2/3 of the air time warning us about potential complications of ingesting their product… and they call this an acceptable “standard of care”?

This morning, I happened onto this article on inflammation: http://myscienceacademy.org/2012/08/19/world-renown-heart-surgeon-speaks-out-on-what-really-causes-heart-disease/

The current state of health among the population is going to change, one way or another.  You can either submit your body to the system, or take responsibility over your own health.  Your health is not my responsibility, it is yours.  However, Love serves mankind and I want to serve you in a positive fashion by increasing your awareness of positive, possible outcomes that can impact your life and be a blessing to you.  If I know of something that might improve your health, why not share it?  I expect to write more on the research and outcomes I have been exposed to in the past.  Let’s get healthy!

PS:  In the large pharmaceutical research drug trials, “unintended consequences” is the term used when a participant dies as a result of taking the drug.  That sounds a little better than “we killed ‘em”.

Enjoy:

The American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama’s new health care package. The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve. Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!" The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow. The Plastic Surgeons thought that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter". The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists… (add your own view).

The increasing costs of healthcare are going to force Americans off the couch and redirect their focus toward personal wellness.  It’s about time.  I have long been an advocate of wellness rather than just treating symptoms.  No, I don’t think we need to go from one extreme to another, but we need to move toward an equilibrium.  Chronic illness with ongoing prescriptions is not equilibrium.  Hearing Our Heavenly Father’s voice and responding to HIS recommended treatment is.

I believe we can become sensitive to our body’s needs, not its cravings, its needs.  We are fully interconnected with our body at the most fundamental level.  As we pursue “dying to the flesh”, we will tune into our physiology.  Let me explain.  Over time, toxins build up in your system.  Your fat will store those toxins in order to protect your heart.  The body will also move toxins away from the heart, toward the extremities of the body: hands and feet.  For about 35 years I would have sporadic issues with my finger tips.  I thought it had something to do with the ink in paper and I was allergic to that ink.  A trip to the dermatologist resulted in steroid shots to those finger tips.  The issue would clear up, temporarily.  He treated the symptoms but had no idea of the problem.  BandAids became my friend during these episodes.  What was the cause?

About seven years’ ago, I shared this issue with Dr. Speckhart.  He screened the ‘Skin” site on my energy meridian and found that there was an interference for cement.  Eureka!  I worked part-time during my college days making ornamental stone out of cement.  I would be covered head-to-toe in the stuff.  My body retained the toxin and the expression of the toxin was cracking in my finger tips.  After I went through a detoxification protocol, my fingers have been normal ever since.  That really helps when you are a musician and want to play your guitar.  If I must work with cement now, I wear protective gloves.

“The body is designed to heal itself, the body is designed to live forever.”  This should be our assumption.  An illness isn’t the lack of a pharmaceutical drug.  It is an imbalance of some type.  We simply need to identify the imbalance and deal with it.  It could be an emotional imbalance.  Yes, emotions can evoke a physical response in the body.  Emotions can adversely affect hormones and in turn cause you to gain weight.  As we become sensitive to our own physiology and also hear Our Heavenly Father’s voice, our health will improve.  Instead of only praying for the food that is before you, maybe you should pray and ask what food should be placed before you.
