Welcome back! Thank
you for staying with us.
00:00:01.36\00:00:07.10
On today's
program, we're talking about
00:00:07.14\00:00:08.47
the importance of relationships,
00:00:08.50\00:00:10.04
and even relationships with
your pets, right Dr. Marcum?
00:00:10.07\00:00:12.44
Yes,
relationships are important,
00:00:12.47\00:00:14.41
and I think I've tried
to build a little framework
00:00:14.44\00:00:17.21
that says
relationships can treat disease
00:00:17.25\00:00:19.15
and prevent disease
because it develops love.
00:00:19.18\00:00:22.52
Especially the relationship
we have with our Heavenly Father
00:00:22.55\00:00:25.39
who teaches us how to love.
00:00:25.42\00:00:27.22
And in the world we see,
and a lot of disease I see is
00:00:27.26\00:00:31.06
from chronic stressors. Right
00:00:31.09\00:00:33.09
And chronic stressors
are not good for the system,
00:00:33.13\00:00:36.33
and we know that people
that love more and have a
00:00:36.36\00:00:39.00
relationship with
God have less stressors.
00:00:39.03\00:00:40.77
It's now scientifically proven.
00:00:40.80\00:00:42.54
So that relationship is
like a pill to the body. Sure
00:00:42.57\00:00:46.71
A relationship
with God is the best,
00:00:46.74\00:00:49.18
but then other people - we
can have relationships with
00:00:49.21\00:00:51.31
animals and plants
we've talked about.
00:00:51.35\00:00:53.42
We have a relationship,
Nick, so maybe it's like a pill,
00:00:53.45\00:00:56.15
hopefully it's good and
getting better. That's right!
00:00:56.18\00:00:58.32
We also have a relationship
with people that watch
00:00:58.35\00:01:00.46
our TV programs and hopefully
00:01:00.49\00:01:02.86
you feel like you have
a relationship with us,
00:01:02.89\00:01:04.99
and, of course, we would invite
00:01:05.03\00:01:06.36
you if you want a
further relationship...
00:01:06.39\00:01:07.76
They can go to our
website: heartwiseministries.org
00:01:07.80\00:01:10.77
We can pray for each other.
00:01:10.80\00:01:12.43
We can help answer
each other's questions.
00:01:12.47\00:01:14.54
We can help encourage each other
to have a better relationship
00:01:14.57\00:01:17.61
with our Ultimate
Physician. Certainly
00:01:17.64\00:01:19.67
That's why the
name of this program is
00:01:19.71\00:01:21.44
"The Ultimate Prescription"
and it's not about a pill.
00:01:21.48\00:01:24.61
It's about a relationship.
00:01:24.65\00:01:25.98
Now how many medical
programs you know out there
00:01:26.01\00:01:28.25
that point people to God
as the ultimate treatment
00:01:28.28\00:01:32.19
for every condition?
00:01:32.22\00:01:33.56
Not many, I'm sure.
Not that many and people
00:01:33.59\00:01:35.99
occasionally make fun of
me a little bit, you know,
00:01:36.02\00:01:38.06
"Why do you do this?"
Because it's important.
00:01:38.09\00:01:41.40
It's important, it's
important that people know
00:01:41.43\00:01:43.73
where the power to heal
comes from. That's right.
00:01:43.77\00:01:46.00
Doctors treat symptoms and
that's why we're a little bit
00:01:46.03\00:01:48.67
off-base on today's program
by modern medical standards,
00:01:48.70\00:01:52.54
but I think by
heavenly standards,
00:01:52.57\00:01:54.84
I would like to think
that everyone up there,
00:01:54.88\00:01:56.88
the angels are
going, "Yeah, these guys are
00:01:56.91\00:01:58.81
headed in the right direction,
they might not have gotten it
00:01:58.85\00:02:00.92
perfect, but at least
they're acknowledging,
00:02:00.95\00:02:02.92
heading in the right
direction of a way to change
00:02:02.95\00:02:05.25
the chemistry and
that's through relationships."
00:02:05.29\00:02:06.96
Now, we've had a lot of
people call in and what if other
00:02:06.99\00:02:10.29
people have
questions, what should they do?
00:02:10.33\00:02:11.79
If you have a question,
please visit our website at:
00:02:11.83\00:02:14.06
heartwiseministries.org
00:02:14.10\00:02:15.93
and on the front
page, you'll find the
00:02:15.96\00:02:17.37
"Ask the Doctor" link
and you'll click on that
00:02:17.40\00:02:19.20
and you can
submit your question.
00:02:19.23\00:02:20.57
You can also pray for
others on our prayer form
00:02:20.60\00:02:23.41
and list your
prayer request there...
00:02:23.44\00:02:24.87
And we'd love to build a
relationship with you today.
00:02:24.91\00:02:27.64
We're going to go ahead and
start with some questions now
00:02:27.68\00:02:29.51
from the website and we have a
lady who lives in New Hampshire
00:02:29.54\00:02:32.28
and enjoys 3ABN and she says,
"I am lonely since my husband
00:02:32.31\00:02:36.28
has passed away.
00:02:36.32\00:02:37.65
My doctor thinks I
may have depression,
00:02:37.69\00:02:39.49
and he wants to start me
on a pill, what can I do?"
00:02:39.52\00:02:42.26
I would advise not to
take the pill right away, okay?
00:02:42.29\00:02:45.86
Talk to your doctor about other
ways that might help depression.
00:02:45.89\00:02:50.13
And, I'm so glad she
watches 3ABN because, you know,
00:02:50.17\00:02:53.23
3ABN also in some ways that
people, you know, they can't
00:02:53.27\00:02:56.24
get out, they can't move...
they feel like they're involved,
00:02:56.27\00:02:58.41
they feel like they
have a relationship and that
00:02:58.44\00:03:00.41
relationship
gives you some ability
00:03:00.44\00:03:02.38
to have healing and
feel better. That's right
00:03:02.41\00:03:04.25
So I would work on developing
00:03:04.28\00:03:08.65
relationships - maybe
this person might benefit
00:03:08.68\00:03:10.75
from a pet, an exercise program,
especially pay attention
00:03:10.79\00:03:15.72
to whether you might
be vitamin D deficient.
00:03:15.76\00:03:18.63
Vitamin D deficiency can
cause serotonin to go down
00:03:18.66\00:03:21.86
which can increase depression.
00:03:21.90\00:03:24.17
Bowel function is
also very important.
00:03:24.20\00:03:26.77
Make sure you have good
healthy bowel functions.
00:03:26.80\00:03:29.40
Make sure a
probiotic might be helpful.
00:03:29.44\00:03:32.64
Make sure you have lots of
fiber, lower the toxins in you.
00:03:32.67\00:03:35.98
Try to develop
some relationships.
00:03:36.01\00:03:37.71
Get some people to
talk to about this.
00:03:37.75\00:03:40.02
It might be that you're
depressed because you're lonely,
00:03:40.05\00:03:43.62
and you need something to love.
00:03:43.65\00:03:45.32
So try to get more love
and service in your life.
00:03:45.35\00:03:48.32
Try to find other people
to do things for and with,
00:03:48.36\00:03:51.26
maybe that might help
you so you don't need to
00:03:51.29\00:03:53.40
necessarily take a pill.
00:03:53.43\00:03:54.76
Because think about it,
you never had to take a pill
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.90
before you lost your
husband, so maybe if we can make
00:03:56.93\00:04:00.04
some changes in our
brain and in our body,
00:04:00.07\00:04:02.40
and in our relationships,
maybe you can avoid that.
00:04:02.44\00:04:04.91
So I think that's
where I would start,
00:04:04.94\00:04:06.51
then if that
doesn't work, then you might
00:04:06.54\00:04:08.71
want to do plan B.
00:04:08.74\00:04:10.08
Now, Nick, a lot of doctors
now don't have a lot of time
00:04:10.11\00:04:13.78
to spend with patients. Right
00:04:13.82\00:04:16.22
And I admit, I don't have
the time - now I still practice
00:04:16.25\00:04:18.89
cardiology and I see 32 patients
a day and I get 10 minutes
00:04:18.92\00:04:23.93
with an old patient and
20 minutes with a new. Right
00:04:23.96\00:04:26.96
And I don't have the
time I need sometimes,
00:04:27.00\00:04:29.30
and that's why I
do things like this,
00:04:29.33\00:04:31.93
but there are so many other
places to look for information
00:04:31.97\00:04:35.54
out there and if
your doctor doesn't have
00:04:35.57\00:04:38.14
enough time or is really busy,
look for other alternatives
00:04:38.17\00:04:40.94
that could also
give good information
00:04:40.98\00:04:42.68
that will help
you find the answers.
00:04:42.71\00:04:44.41
You could be your best physician
and now with the internet,
00:04:44.45\00:04:47.78
if you "Google" something,
it's going to give you
00:04:47.82\00:04:49.88
lots of answers,
but it might not be
00:04:49.92\00:04:51.99
the answers that are the best,
but at least it will sort of
00:04:52.02\00:04:53.99
point you in a direction. Right
00:04:54.02\00:04:56.12
So it's probably good
to consult your physician
00:04:56.16\00:04:58.16
with whatever you find
on the web and, hopefully,
00:04:58.19\00:05:00.70
they'll point you
in the right direction.
00:05:00.73\00:05:02.06
Nick, if you had
a health question,
00:05:02.10\00:05:03.73
I know you have a
son named "Hayden,"
00:05:03.77\00:05:06.67
where would you get
your information from?
00:05:06.70\00:05:09.00
Well I am a fan of the internet,
00:05:09.04\00:05:10.91
I would go there instantly,
but then I'd probably run it
00:05:10.94\00:05:14.01
by my pediatrician
and see what she says.
00:05:14.08\00:05:15.54
But do you believe
everything on the internet?
00:05:15.61\00:05:17.18
Not everything - there's a lot
00:05:17.21\00:05:18.55
of good stuff out there,
but a lot of bad stuff too.
00:05:18.58\00:05:20.52
But the relationship you have
00:05:20.55\00:05:21.88
with people you trust
is important. That's right.
00:05:21.92\00:05:24.59
Okay and that's what
I try to tell people.
00:05:24.62\00:05:27.12
Who can we trust
more than our Creator?
00:05:27.16\00:05:30.16
He cares for us and
wants to care for us
00:05:30.19\00:05:32.76
more than anything else,
so who is going to be your
00:05:32.79\00:05:34.70
best doctor, who do
you wan to go to first?
00:05:34.73\00:05:36.90
You want to go to that physician
who is going to give you
00:05:36.93\00:05:39.10
the best answer - that
loves you more than anything,
00:05:39.17\00:05:41.34
that you can come
to day in and day out.
00:05:41.37\00:05:43.20
That's where you want to
start in getting treatment
00:05:43.24\00:05:45.61
and healed -
someone that you can trust,
00:05:45.64\00:05:47.51
that you can always depend on.
00:05:47.54\00:05:49.01
On earth,
sometimes we don't have that,
00:05:49.04\00:05:50.85
but in that relationship,
00:05:50.88\00:05:52.75
we have
something we can depend on.
00:05:52.81\00:05:54.15
So that lady in New Jersey,
thank you for watching us,
00:05:54.18\00:05:57.12
and we hope you
start to feel better,
00:05:57.15\00:05:58.65
and I hope that helps
you a little bit. Yeah
00:05:58.69\00:06:00.49
We'll go to
another viewer who asks:
00:06:00.52\00:06:02.42
"What is the best exercise
for someone in a wheelchair,
00:06:02.46\00:06:05.43
who also is
dealing with arthritis?"
00:06:05.46\00:06:08.06
And that's a very tough problem
to have - is to have arthritis
00:06:08.10\00:06:11.53
where your joints hurt
and you're in a wheelchair,
00:06:11.57\00:06:14.24
you can't move, but
anything that you can do
00:06:14.27\00:06:16.37
that feels good,
start doing that.
00:06:16.40\00:06:18.47
And it can be something
simple like petting a cat. Okay
00:06:18.51\00:06:22.18
It could be moving your arms.
00:06:22.21\00:06:23.91
One of the things
that I have in people
00:06:23.95\00:06:25.88
that have lots of arthritis,
I encourage them to do
00:06:25.91\00:06:28.12
is just to deep breathe.
00:06:28.15\00:06:30.25
Just take a deep
breath, hold it 3 seconds,
00:06:30.29\00:06:35.19
blow it out ever so slowly.
00:06:35.22\00:06:37.66
Now when you do that 10 times,
00:06:37.69\00:06:40.03
you exercise the
lungs, you get better oxygen
00:06:40.06\00:06:43.40
to your muscles,
you move your diaphragm
00:06:43.43\00:06:45.47
and other muscles and usually
it doesn't hurt to breathe.
00:06:45.50\00:06:49.30
But any little things like that,
you know, I have some people
00:06:49.34\00:06:51.84
that just practice moving
their head back and forth,
00:06:51.87\00:06:54.18
looking around at things.
00:06:54.21\00:06:55.84
All these are little
things that improve our muscles,
00:06:55.88\00:06:58.01
help our oxygen, but
little things built over
00:06:58.05\00:07:00.82
time might help
that a whole lot.
00:07:00.85\00:07:03.35
And sometimes, in
people that have arthritis,
00:07:03.39\00:07:05.95
a little movement actually
helps improve the arthritis.
00:07:05.99\00:07:09.82
So those are some
tips that might help you
00:07:09.86\00:07:13.56
to get a little bit
movement when you're in a
00:07:13.60\00:07:15.43
wheelchair or have lots of pain.
00:07:15.46\00:07:16.83
Now, I know that sometimes
water, hydrotherapy is used
00:07:16.87\00:07:20.84
for people that
have certain conditions,
00:07:20.87\00:07:22.20
is water aerobics maybe a good
option for some people? Yes!
00:07:22.24\00:07:24.67
Yes, if they can get
it... the problem I have with
00:07:24.71\00:07:26.84
water aerobics is - a lot of
our older people that have these
00:07:26.88\00:07:30.11
problems can't get to a
swimming pool so easily. Sure
00:07:30.15\00:07:33.98
But if they have it, I think
it's a wonderful way to do that
00:07:34.02\00:07:37.09
is get into water
aerobics, it's wonderful
00:07:37.12\00:07:39.25
if they can have
access to a pool.
00:07:39.29\00:07:41.12
We've got
another viewer who asks:
00:07:41.16\00:07:42.96
"I am a worrier and my doctor
says I have an anxiety disorder,
00:07:42.99\00:07:47.20
I'm now 92 and the
anxiety has been getting worse
00:07:47.23\00:07:50.83
over the past 2 years... what
can I expect in the future?"
00:07:50.87\00:07:53.87
Well, you know, I take
care of a lot of people that are
00:07:53.90\00:07:57.01
older, Nick, and it seems like
people get more concerned about
00:07:57.04\00:08:02.94
about at least health issues,
and sometimes we play them
00:08:02.98\00:08:06.38
over and over in our
brains until a small snowball
00:08:06.41\00:08:10.99
becomes an avalanche sometimes.
00:08:11.02\00:08:13.29
So one of the things that I
say to people is that sometimes
00:08:13.32\00:08:16.06
it's natural to be concerned,
I don't like the word "worry,"
00:08:16.09\00:08:18.73
I like the word "concerned."
00:08:18.76\00:08:20.73
And I refer them to the
biblical techniques to be
00:08:20.76\00:08:24.23
"anxious about
nothing" turn it over to God,
00:08:24.27\00:08:26.70
and recognize what's happening.
00:08:26.74\00:08:28.57
And instead of focusing
so much on things that are
00:08:28.60\00:08:31.01
happening to you, try
to focus on other things.
00:08:31.04\00:08:33.68
Try to focus on other people;
other people that you can help.
00:08:33.71\00:08:37.11
You know, ways to do
this, focus on relationships.
00:08:37.15\00:08:39.91
Relationships with God,
relationships with your family,
00:08:39.95\00:08:42.82
relationships with other things.
00:08:42.85\00:08:44.19
Sometimes that will
help in sort of turning down
00:08:44.22\00:08:46.82
the anxiety and, of
course, you want to do things
00:08:46.86\00:08:49.12
in your body that don't promote
worry and anxiety as well.
00:08:49.16\00:08:52.19
All the stressors
that we keep doing,
00:08:52.23\00:08:54.16
some television programs
can make people very anxious
00:08:54.20\00:08:57.00
that triggers ugly thoughts
and things of that nature.
00:08:57.03\00:08:59.77
We want to try to avoid that.
00:08:59.80\00:09:01.80
Another thing that helps is
sometimes this helps when you
00:09:01.84\00:09:05.34
go to a counselor, you
know, someone to talk to.
00:09:05.37\00:09:07.61
It might be a family member
even and tell them how you feel,
00:09:07.64\00:09:10.35
and sometimes just
talking about it...
00:09:10.38\00:09:13.35
Saying, "No, this
is not to worry about."
00:09:13.38\00:09:16.05
What I try to do in the office
is - I use a lot of reassurance.
00:09:16.08\00:09:19.72
You're worried about this?
"No, don't be worried about
00:09:19.75\00:09:21.72
that - don't be
anxious about that.
00:09:21.76\00:09:23.09
You're not going to die,
it's not going to hurt you.
00:09:23.12\00:09:25.03
This is something that you
want to push out of your brain
00:09:25.06\00:09:27.46
because when you think about it,
00:09:27.50\00:09:28.93
it's going to make things worse
00:09:28.96\00:09:30.80
because it's going to
make all the stress chemistry."
00:09:30.83\00:09:32.73
So I tell people, "Just
throw it out of your brain,
00:09:32.77\00:09:35.10
you know, let it go into
the sea - don't think about it.
00:09:35.14\00:09:37.37
If you think about it
again, no - find 3 things
00:09:37.41\00:09:40.44
to be happy about; 2
things to be thankful about,
00:09:40.48\00:09:43.24
and one way to
help someone else.
00:09:43.28\00:09:44.95
Do that first - before you
let those anxious worry thoughts
00:09:44.98\00:09:48.02
get back in your brain
and see if that doesn't help."
00:09:48.05\00:09:50.45
That sounds like
some good advice.
00:09:50.49\00:09:52.42
You know, since we were talking
a little bit earlier about pets,
00:09:52.45\00:09:55.56
I want to know what do you
think is the best kind of pet
00:09:55.59\00:09:57.99
for our health?
00:09:58.03\00:09:59.36
The best pet for your
health would probably be
00:09:59.39\00:10:03.63
an elephant. Really?
00:10:03.67\00:10:05.43
Don't you think? I have no idea!
00:10:05.47\00:10:07.14
Why would an
elephant make a good pet?
00:10:07.17\00:10:09.50
Well, because an elephant,
they have that big trunk,
00:10:09.54\00:10:13.48
and if you need a
shower, they can squirt
00:10:13.51\00:10:15.21
you with a shower and you
know, they eat very healthy.
00:10:15.24\00:10:20.75
Elephants do - they eat
pretty much plants all the time.
00:10:20.78\00:10:23.39
They're sort of big
and lovable and I think
00:10:23.42\00:10:25.85
an elephant
would be the best pet.
00:10:25.89\00:10:27.39
Now, would it be
the most practical pet?
00:10:27.46\00:10:29.42
I don't know! Probably not.
00:10:29.46\00:10:31.29
Wouldn't you like to have
that big old trunk, you know,
00:10:31.33\00:10:33.80
just sort of rubbing your back
there and that's why I think
00:10:33.83\00:10:37.97
it's going to
be fun about heaven
00:10:38.00\00:10:39.33
to see all the
different types of pets.
00:10:39.37\00:10:41.60
But I guess the most
practical pet for me,
00:10:41.64\00:10:44.01
the most
practical, pet is a dog,
00:10:44.04\00:10:45.44
but I don't think there's a
good answer to that question
00:10:45.47\00:10:47.58
because some
people bond with fish;
00:10:47.61\00:10:49.51
some people bond with cats;
some people bond with turtles;
00:10:49.54\00:10:53.35
some people bond with elephants,
00:10:53.38\00:10:55.18
and some people bond with
all sorts of different things.
00:10:55.22\00:10:57.59
So I don't think
there's a best pet out there,
00:10:57.62\00:11:00.46
but I think the bottom
line is, we want to have
00:11:00.49\00:11:02.79
something in our
lives to love. Yeah
00:11:02.82\00:11:05.73
I think that's the key, to have
something in your life to love.
00:11:05.76\00:11:08.13
And we've kind of focused
on positive relationships
00:11:08.16\00:11:11.17
and how important
that is, but what about
00:11:11.20\00:11:13.10
how damaging can it be
when a relationship, you know,
00:11:13.13\00:11:15.40
say - even just with your
dog, you have a dog that behaves
00:11:15.44\00:11:17.57
bad and causes you a lot of
stress and it's maybe not the
00:11:17.61\00:11:21.94
best relationship - how
do you deal with situations
00:11:21.98\00:11:24.41
with others in
poor relationships?
00:11:24.45\00:11:26.61
That's a great question
because bad relationships
00:11:26.65\00:11:29.38
on every level
cause chemical changes.
00:11:29.42\00:11:32.52
Everything we put into
our body does something
00:11:32.55\00:11:34.79
for the good or
something for the bad.
00:11:34.82\00:11:37.23
So if we have bad
relationships with an animal,
00:11:37.26\00:11:41.06
with a spouse, with
our boss, with our God,
00:11:41.10\00:11:45.33
we have to fix
those relationships.
00:11:45.37\00:11:48.27
When we fix those
relationships, guess what?
00:11:48.30\00:11:51.17
Our chemistry starts to improve;
00:11:51.21\00:11:53.38
we lower the chance of
having chronic stress which
00:11:53.41\00:11:56.21
eventually causes a
symptom which causes to need
00:11:56.24\00:11:58.85
modern medicine.
00:11:58.88\00:12:00.22
Now how do we do that?
00:12:00.25\00:12:01.98
How do we fix
relationships that are broken?
00:12:02.02\00:12:04.29
How do we do that?
00:12:04.32\00:12:05.65
Well, that's why I
think the first place to start
00:12:05.69\00:12:08.42
is prayer and
asking God to help.
00:12:08.46\00:12:10.89
Asking God for the skills
and the people in your life
00:12:10.93\00:12:14.06
that can help you learn.
00:12:14.10\00:12:15.43
Go and read more, learn more
00:12:15.46\00:12:17.37
about how
relationships should work.
00:12:17.43\00:12:19.07
A lot of people out there don't
know how to have relationships.
00:12:19.13\00:12:22.30
I'm worried about
this new generation, Nick.
00:12:22.34\00:12:24.67
They're texting and
they're not talking as much.
00:12:24.71\00:12:27.81
They're not having the
relationships and I'm worried
00:12:27.84\00:12:30.08
that they might not have the
skills so when they get older
00:12:30.11\00:12:33.08
they might not have those
relationships, so they might
00:12:33.11\00:12:35.28
have more problems with
relationships that create
00:12:35.32\00:12:37.92
more stress, that create
more symptoms and more disease,
00:12:37.95\00:12:41.22
more use of modern medicine.
00:12:41.26\00:12:43.09
And if we look at the
way the world is going...
00:12:43.12\00:12:45.56
more heart attacks,
more strokes, more mental
00:12:45.59\00:12:47.70
health problems,
more not sleeping good,
00:12:47.73\00:12:50.10
4 billion pills - you can
see this is what's happening.
00:12:50.13\00:12:54.17
So that really, the
only solution we have
00:12:54.20\00:12:56.77
is that relationship we
have with our Savior, our God
00:12:56.81\00:12:59.87
that can sort of
fix these problems.
00:12:59.91\00:13:01.54
That's what we gotta
get our young people...
00:13:01.58\00:13:03.24
How do we love
them and not judge them,
00:13:03.28\00:13:05.65
moving back to
health one step at a time.
00:13:05.68\00:13:08.28
How do we find
programs to reach those people
00:13:08.32\00:13:10.89
and let them know how
important relationships are.
00:13:10.92\00:13:14.36
Well the first
place... one place to start is
00:13:14.39\00:13:16.26
meeting a need. Yep
00:13:16.29\00:13:17.79
If we meet the need
and show them, you know,
00:13:17.83\00:13:20.20
we are the hands
of God. That's right.
00:13:20.23\00:13:22.43
If we do act like
God, if we can mirror Him,
00:13:22.46\00:13:26.37
if we can have
that relationship,
00:13:26.40\00:13:27.74
then other people can
see it and say, "Listen,
00:13:27.77\00:13:29.54
this is something that's healing
not only for me and my family,
00:13:29.57\00:13:32.61
but for the entire world. Right!
00:13:32.64\00:13:34.78
I've noticed in my own
life that when I'm involved in
00:13:34.81\00:13:37.25
service to other people - it
kind of forces a relationship,
00:13:37.28\00:13:39.91
but if you're caring for
someone, you learn about them,
00:13:39.95\00:13:42.38
and it causes
you to have a benefit
00:13:42.42\00:13:44.19
in your own life when
you're serving others.
00:13:44.22\00:13:45.55
Yeah, because you're loving them
and your chemistry is changing.
00:13:45.59\00:13:47.49
And when you're not
serving other people,
00:13:47.52\00:13:49.16
who are you serving? Yourself!
00:13:49.19\00:13:51.03
That damages and
causes selfishness,
00:13:51.06\00:13:54.23
it turns on all the selfish
chemistry... not so good!
00:13:54.26\00:13:56.93
So, you know, we may
have some folks watching today
00:13:56.97\00:13:59.67
who, maybe for one reason
or another, aren't real active
00:13:59.70\00:14:02.37
in their church
anymore and they want to serve,
00:14:02.40\00:14:04.67
how could they help serve
with Heartwise Ministries?
00:14:04.71\00:14:07.01
Yeah, and I have that a
lot, I have taken care of a lot
00:14:07.04\00:14:09.44
people that want to
help, that used to be active...
00:14:09.48\00:14:13.35
presidents and church ministers
and head of departments,
00:14:13.38\00:14:18.15
and served other
people their entire life,
00:14:18.19\00:14:20.29
but now because they're
old, they can't do that.
00:14:20.32\00:14:22.36
Well, you know
what? You can pray!
00:14:22.39\00:14:25.09
Everyone can pray that God
will use them and show them how.
00:14:25.13\00:14:29.10
The things that can be
accomplished through prayer
00:14:29.13\00:14:31.03
are enormous.
00:14:31.07\00:14:32.40
So I want to
encourage everyone to pray,
00:14:32.43\00:14:33.84
specifically pray, that
God will use them in service,
00:14:33.87\00:14:37.97
and if they can do
that, God can accomplish more
00:14:38.01\00:14:40.38
through that prayer than
we can do working on our own.
00:14:40.41\00:14:43.04
So this is a great
place to start in people that
00:14:43.08\00:14:45.41
don't feel as
useful as possible...
00:14:45.45\00:14:47.85
And everyone can talk to
their friends and have as many
00:14:47.88\00:14:50.19
good positive
relationships as they can.
00:14:50.22\00:14:52.65
Dr. Marcum, thank you for
your thoughts on this subject.
00:14:52.69\00:14:54.56

our conversation at home today.

00:14:57.53\00:14:59.89
leads out in
prayer in just a moment.
00:14:59.93\00:15:01.56
Relationships - a way to change
your chemistry for the good.
00:15:06.74\00:15:11.71
If you have a pet, if
you have a relationship
00:15:11.74\00:15:14.38
with someone you love,
if you have a relationship
00:15:14.41\00:15:16.44
with the Heavenly
Father, these are all ways
00:15:16.48\00:15:18.55
to improve your
chemistry to help
00:15:18.58\00:15:20.02
treat and prevent
disease. Let's pray together...
00:15:20.08\00:15:22.52
Father God, There
are some out there that
00:15:22.55\00:15:25.42
are seeking relationships.
00:15:25.45\00:15:27.39
We pray that You
find these people, Father,
00:15:27.42\00:15:30.36
and help them find You
and enter into a healing
00:15:30.39\00:15:33.50
relationship, Father.
00:15:33.53\00:15:34.86
Please, thank you for each
00:15:34.90\00:15:37.47
and every one that

the opportunity to serve You
00:15:41.64\00:15:44.47
is our prayer... Amen
