Welcome back to the
Ultimate Prescription.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
I'm your host Nick Evenson,
here with Dr. James Marcum.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.73
And, Dr. Marcum,
today we're talking
00:00:04.77\00:00:06.20
about cardiovascular disease.
00:00:06.23\00:00:08.20
And you kind of
laid out what it is
00:00:08.24\00:00:10.41
and what the
cardiovascular system is.
00:00:10.44\00:00:12.07
But recap just a little
bit about what we discussed.
00:00:12.11\00:00:14.24
Well, you know, this
is a very complex topic
00:00:14.28\00:00:17.01
and we can't cover everything.
00:00:17.05\00:00:18.38
But the key points I
wanna let people know
00:00:18.41\00:00:21.05
is that we all have bad genes,
00:00:21.08\00:00:23.32
and ultimately we
all need a savior.
00:00:23.35\00:00:26.25
And we have our
genes that get bad
00:00:26.29\00:00:28.69
and we put
stress on those genes,
00:00:28.72\00:00:30.86
when those genes
malfunctions we have symptoms.
00:00:30.89\00:00:33.60
So we wanna do everything we can
00:00:33.63\00:00:35.16
to keep stress off our genetics.
00:00:35.20\00:00:37.37
We wanna learn when
to apply modern medicine
00:00:37.40\00:00:39.80
if we have symptoms.
00:00:39.83\00:00:41.20
We wanna have the power
to have lifestyle changes.
00:00:41.24\00:00:43.74
And we realize that
lifestyle might be nutrition,
00:00:43.77\00:00:46.61
it might be sleeping better.
00:00:46.64\00:00:48.21
Every aspect of our life
00:00:48.24\00:00:49.74
can affect the
expression of genes
00:00:49.78\00:00:51.55
'cause it can put stress on it.
00:00:51.58\00:00:53.11
Which stressor
individually is the greatest,
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.78
is really
genetically determined.
00:00:55.82\00:00:57.65
So I don't know
about your family
00:00:57.69\00:00:59.19
but you know, my family,
00:00:59.22\00:01:00.56
we've diabetes
that runs in our family.
00:01:00.59\00:01:02.96
Some people have
other genetic things,
00:01:02.99\00:01:04.99
some people store
fat in the arteries,
00:01:05.03\00:01:06.46
some people store
fat in the arteries
00:01:06.49\00:01:07.83
of the brain, the heart etc.
00:01:07.86\00:01:09.53
So if we do store fat, we
wanna have less fat in us,
00:01:09.56\00:01:12.63
so we wanna go to a
healthier nutrition.
00:01:12.67\00:01:15.37
We also know that
when people sit around,
00:01:15.40\00:01:17.67
things get older quicker.
00:01:17.71\00:01:19.14
You know, you get stiff. Right.
00:01:19.17\00:01:20.54
So all of these
different stressors
00:01:20.58\00:01:22.41
effect genetic expression.
00:01:22.44\00:01:24.18
When we have genes
malfunction, we have a symptom,
00:01:24.21\00:01:26.72
then we run to the doctor.
00:01:26.75\00:01:28.42
So that's a key,
00:01:28.45\00:01:29.78
but we also know no
matter what this is,
00:01:29.82\00:01:31.42
some people like the
gentleman I talked about,
00:01:31.45\00:01:34.16
he had heart
disease at a young age.
00:01:34.19\00:01:36.22
So sometimes no
matter what we do,
00:01:36.26\00:01:38.29
we still have problems
00:01:38.33\00:01:40.16
and that's when we really know
00:01:40.20\00:01:41.86
the most important thing
00:01:41.90\00:01:43.23
is to have our
spiritual life intact,
00:01:43.26\00:01:45.33
because God heals us
in His time, in His ways.
00:01:45.37\00:01:48.97
So as long as
we're walking with Him,
00:01:49.00\00:01:51.34
that's very, very reassuring
00:01:51.37\00:01:53.48
and that is
treatment for diseases itself
00:01:53.51\00:01:55.74
'cause it gives
us reassurance today
00:01:55.78\00:01:58.08
that we're doing
everything we can,
00:01:58.11\00:01:59.71
and hope for eternity.
00:01:59.75\00:02:01.08
And we also want
to learn eventually,
00:02:01.12\00:02:02.98
as we talked today
about different things
00:02:03.02\00:02:05.02
biblically we can
use to apply to our life,
00:02:05.05\00:02:07.72
to actually treat and
prevent the expression
00:02:07.76\00:02:10.79
of this genetic problems.
00:02:10.83\00:02:12.16
That's right.
00:02:12.19\00:02:13.53
You know sometimes
just having the hope of,
00:02:13.56\00:02:14.90
you know, being
reunited with our loved ones
00:02:14.93\00:02:16.60
and with Jesus someday,
that can reduce the stress.
00:02:16.63\00:02:18.53
Yes.
00:02:18.57\00:02:19.90
And that's
actually, it manifests
00:02:19.93\00:02:21.27
in physical
benefits sometimes as well.
00:02:21.30\00:02:22.64
You know, and I had a colleague
00:02:22.67\00:02:25.01
tell me about a
friend that had...
00:02:25.04\00:02:28.24
He was a doctor friend of mine.
00:02:28.28\00:02:29.78
He had patient that had a
little lesion in his liver,
00:02:29.81\00:02:33.55
and it was right near a
vein called the portal vein.
00:02:33.58\00:02:36.52
And we weren't sure
what that lesion was,
00:02:36.55\00:02:38.45
whether it was a
cancerous or benign,
00:02:38.49\00:02:41.66
but it was in a
hard spot to biopsy.
00:02:41.69\00:02:43.73
Right.
00:02:43.76\00:02:45.09
So the decision was made
00:02:45.13\00:02:46.46
just to keep an eye on it, okay.
00:02:46.49\00:02:48.33
But this guy got so scared
that it affect his genetics,
00:02:48.36\00:02:52.90
he made adrenaline and cortisol,
00:02:52.93\00:02:54.54
all the stress chemistry,
00:02:54.57\00:02:56.14
and he died about one
year into his diagnosis.
00:02:56.17\00:02:59.97
So they did the autopsy
00:03:00.01\00:03:01.41
and found out
that this was benign.
00:03:01.44\00:03:04.35
He had no real problem.
00:03:04.38\00:03:05.71
He basically died from fear.
00:03:05.75\00:03:07.88
And even in the heart world
00:03:07.92\00:03:10.29
we have these conditions called
the broken hearts syndrome
00:03:10.32\00:03:13.36
where we have a
lot of stress and fear.
00:03:13.39\00:03:15.89
Stress and fear
also damages our body.
00:03:15.92\00:03:18.43
These are major stress
00:03:18.46\00:03:19.79
that affect some
people more than another.
00:03:19.83\00:03:22.20
So when God says, be
anxious about nothing,
00:03:22.23\00:03:24.60
there's real Bible
truths behind that.
00:03:24.63\00:03:27.50
Yeah.
00:03:27.54\00:03:28.87
Let's get back to
cardiovascular disease.
00:03:28.90\00:03:30.24
So let's talk about
some of the symptoms.
00:03:30.27\00:03:31.61
We already discussed,
00:03:31.64\00:03:32.97
there's a lot of
different conditions
00:03:33.01\00:03:34.34
that can be involved
with cardiovascular disease.
00:03:34.38\00:03:36.14
But what are
some of the symptoms
00:03:36.18\00:03:37.51
that people might experience?
00:03:37.55\00:03:38.88
I know, tightness in the chest,
or pain in the chest, but...
00:03:38.91\00:03:40.75
Well, first I
think it's important
00:03:40.78\00:03:42.75
that we define the
word symptoms, okay?
00:03:42.78\00:03:45.35
Okay, yeah.
00:03:45.39\00:03:46.72
Symptoms is
anything an individual has
00:03:46.76\00:03:49.16
that does not feel right.
00:03:49.19\00:03:50.83
Okay?
00:03:50.86\00:03:52.19
And it could be many
different expressions.
00:03:52.23\00:03:54.06
Now in the heart,
okay, for instance,
00:03:54.10\00:03:56.77
a chest pressure or
something that won't go away.
00:03:56.80\00:03:59.70
Well, that could
be a heart attack,
00:03:59.73\00:04:01.30
also be it
reflux, lot of things,
00:04:01.34\00:04:02.94
but heart attack
can kill you quick.
00:04:02.97\00:04:05.27
So any discomfort I tell,
00:04:05.31\00:04:06.78
any discomfort
or abnormal feeling
00:04:06.81\00:04:09.21
above the waist
that won't go away,
00:04:09.24\00:04:11.78
needs to be evaluated.
00:04:11.81\00:04:13.42
Sometimes it could be pressure,
sometimes it could be pain,
00:04:13.45\00:04:16.62
sometimes you could
feel like indigestion.
00:04:16.65\00:04:18.69
Sometimes it could be
extreme shortness of breath.
00:04:18.72\00:04:21.66
Sometimes it could be
dizziness passing out.
00:04:21.69\00:04:24.39
Sometimes it could
be a fast heartbeat.
00:04:24.43\00:04:26.36
But all of these
are abnormal feelings
00:04:26.39\00:04:28.76
that need to be
investigated right now.
00:04:28.80\00:04:31.50
So the symptoms vary
00:04:31.53\00:04:32.87
and in diabetics the
symptoms are much different,
00:04:32.90\00:04:35.24
in women they
are much different,
00:04:35.27\00:04:36.81
the older you get
the most different.
00:04:36.84\00:04:38.87
But in all my years of practice,
00:04:38.91\00:04:40.61
I tell people that any symptom
00:04:40.64\00:04:42.54
above the waist
that's unexplainable
00:04:42.58\00:04:45.01
and that won't go away,
00:04:45.05\00:04:46.38
you need to get
evaluated right now.
00:04:46.41\00:04:49.12
So that's one
class, one class of people.
00:04:49.15\00:04:51.59
Okay.
00:04:51.62\00:04:52.95
Do you have a
question? Well, I was gonna ask.
00:04:52.99\00:04:54.32
So I know some times
people are reluctant, right?
00:04:54.36\00:04:56.22
'Cause we don't
wanna waste money,
00:04:56.26\00:04:57.59
we don't want to
go to the hospital,
00:04:57.63\00:04:59.23
whack up this wheel,
and then have it be nothing.
00:04:59.26\00:05:00.70
Yes.
00:05:00.73\00:05:02.06
But what do
people need to do though,
00:05:02.10\00:05:03.43
like should they be reluctant
00:05:03.47\00:05:04.80
or should they
get it checked out?
00:05:04.83\00:05:06.17
No, no. This is important?
00:05:06.20\00:05:07.54
If you have a
symptom that's unexplained,
00:05:07.57\00:05:08.90
that's your body is
saying something is not right.
00:05:08.94\00:05:11.87
I'm having one of
these malfunctions
00:05:11.91\00:05:13.88
that we talked about.
00:05:13.91\00:05:15.31
You know, if I've had
a little bit of disease,
00:05:15.34\00:05:17.45
now, it's a lot of disease,
00:05:17.48\00:05:18.81
I need to know what's going on.
00:05:18.85\00:05:20.42
And as time goes on,
00:05:20.45\00:05:22.25
you know when you're younger
00:05:22.28\00:05:23.62
you don't have
all these feelings.
00:05:23.65\00:05:24.99
But as people age,
00:05:25.02\00:05:26.35
every part of the body ages,
00:05:26.39\00:05:27.92
there's gonna be more symptoms.
00:05:27.96\00:05:29.29
Yeah.
00:05:29.32\00:05:30.66
And you have to
explain what they are
00:05:30.69\00:05:32.03
'cause you wanna make
sure it's not something
00:05:32.06\00:05:33.40
that's going to kill you, right?
00:05:33.43\00:05:34.76
Right, right.
00:05:34.80\00:05:36.13
Now, it's very
important, so that's one class,
00:05:36.16\00:05:38.23
symptoms that starts
right now that won't go away.
00:05:38.27\00:05:40.80
Okay. Okay?
00:05:40.84\00:05:42.17
Now there's
another class of symptoms
00:05:42.20\00:05:43.77
related to the heart,
00:05:43.81\00:05:45.97
things that happen
intermittently, okay?
00:05:46.01\00:05:48.58
Let's say, you used to be able
to ride your bike every day.
00:05:48.61\00:05:51.75
Okay, you like
to ride your bike.
00:05:51.78\00:05:53.11
Yep, love it. Okay?
00:05:53.15\00:05:54.48
Let's say every time,
you'd go up a hill now,
00:05:54.52\00:05:56.85
you have a funny feeling
in the heart, in this area.
00:05:56.89\00:06:00.82
And then when you
slow down it goes away.
00:06:00.86\00:06:04.26
Well, that could
be a heart symptom
00:06:04.29\00:06:05.89
'cause when the
heart's under stress
00:06:05.93\00:06:07.36
it starts
malfunctioning, it experienced
00:06:07.40\00:06:10.00
and then when it slows
down it's relaxed, it goes away,
00:06:10.03\00:06:13.40
so that could be a symptom.
00:06:13.44\00:06:14.77
Let's say when you overdo it,
00:06:14.80\00:06:16.40
you get
extremely short of breath,
00:06:16.44\00:06:17.84
much more than
you ever had before.
00:06:17.87\00:06:20.14
That could be a symptom.
00:06:20.18\00:06:21.78
So a symptom that comes on,
00:06:21.81\00:06:23.38
when you used to be able to
do a certain amount of activity
00:06:23.41\00:06:26.05
that you can't do any
more, that could be a sign
00:06:26.08\00:06:29.15
that the heart or blood vessels
00:06:29.18\00:06:30.62
aren't getting
enough oxygen to your cells,
00:06:30.65\00:06:33.15
and that part of the
body is not performing well.
00:06:33.19\00:06:36.19
Right, yeah.
00:06:36.22\00:06:37.56
Does that make
sense to you? Yeah.
00:06:37.59\00:06:38.93
Okay, and the most
common ones I see is,
00:06:38.96\00:06:41.10
is a person who used to
be able to walk up a hill,
00:06:41.13\00:06:43.26
now he can't do it,
he's short of breath,
00:06:43.30\00:06:44.73
he has tightness,
he has a funny feeling,
00:06:44.77\00:06:46.80
that is classic heart.
00:06:46.84\00:06:48.44
And some people say,
"Oh, I'm just gonna ignore it,
00:06:48.47\00:06:50.84
I've just had a bad day."
00:06:50.87\00:06:52.21
But usually overtime, it
gets progressively worse.
00:06:52.24\00:06:55.58
And if it gets
progressively worse,
00:06:55.61\00:06:57.75
it's nice to nip it in the bud
00:06:57.78\00:06:59.81
to find out before
that problem progresses
00:06:59.85\00:07:02.15
into a problem
that won't go away
00:07:02.18\00:07:04.25
which is getting
into a medical emergency.
00:07:04.29\00:07:07.86
Now when we talk
about abnormal feelings,
00:07:07.89\00:07:10.49
it's so different
for different people.
00:07:10.53\00:07:13.60
And when I've looked at things,
there's no black or white,
00:07:13.63\00:07:15.96
there's lot of grey in life.
00:07:16.00\00:07:18.00
So a symptom for you
might be a little bit different
00:07:18.03\00:07:20.54
than a symptom for someone else.
00:07:20.57\00:07:22.77
And that's why it's
real important for people
00:07:22.80\00:07:25.21
to listen to each other,
00:07:25.24\00:07:26.74
talk about these
abnormal feelings that we have.
00:07:26.78\00:07:29.58
I've had some
people that all they have
00:07:29.61\00:07:30.95
is a numbness in their
jaw when they do things.
00:07:30.98\00:07:34.15
Some heart attacks are presented
00:07:34.18\00:07:35.58
as pain in the shoulder blades,
00:07:35.62\00:07:37.99
but regardless
they had been symptoms
00:07:38.02\00:07:40.79
that are unexplainable.
00:07:40.82\00:07:42.16
Okay, for instance,
00:07:42.19\00:07:43.53
if every time
you walk you had pain
00:07:43.56\00:07:44.89
in your shoulder
blade and I said,
00:07:44.93\00:07:46.73
"Nick, have you
hurt your shoulder blade,
00:07:46.76\00:07:48.40
have you traumatized it?"
00:07:48.43\00:07:49.90
"No", then I'll say,
"You have a heart problem."
00:07:49.93\00:07:52.70
And then we'd
start investigating
00:07:52.73\00:07:54.50
to see the magnitude of it,
00:07:54.54\00:07:56.27
but at the same time I'd say,
00:07:56.30\00:07:57.64
"You know, this
is an acute symptom,
00:07:57.67\00:07:59.57
something caused it to happen,
00:07:59.61\00:08:01.54
let's investigate that as well.
00:08:01.58\00:08:03.85
So there's many
different aspects,
00:08:03.88\00:08:05.41
but any time a person
is experiencing something
00:08:05.45\00:08:08.18
that doesn't feel
right, that won't go away,
00:08:08.22\00:08:10.69
that's a trip to the
doctor emergency room.
00:08:10.72\00:08:12.72
Right now anytime
they have constant feelings
00:08:12.75\00:08:16.19
when they do
thing that goes away
00:08:16.22\00:08:17.63
when you rest,
00:08:17.66\00:08:18.99
you need to make an appointment.
00:08:19.03\00:08:20.36
Now lots of people have
funny heartbeats and skips
00:08:20.40\00:08:22.93
and things that they
don't know what it is.
00:08:22.96\00:08:24.90
Sometimes it can be explained,
00:08:24.93\00:08:26.43
you know
sometimes you eat something
00:08:26.47\00:08:27.80
and it doesn't feel right.
00:08:27.84\00:08:29.17
Well, you know it's
related to something you ate.
00:08:29.20\00:08:31.11
You know, but sometimes
00:08:31.14\00:08:32.54
you have a funny
indigestion like feeling
00:08:32.57\00:08:34.54
when you're walking and
you haven't eaten anything.
00:08:34.58\00:08:36.24
Right.
00:08:36.28\00:08:37.61
Well, that could be
related to your heart.
00:08:37.65\00:08:39.51
So I tell people
since cardiovascular disease
00:08:39.55\00:08:41.78
is number one cause of death,
00:08:41.82\00:08:43.65
and heart attacks cause death,
00:08:43.69\00:08:45.39
they need to get
these symptoms investigated
00:08:45.42\00:08:47.76
right, right away.
00:08:47.79\00:08:49.12
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:49.16\00:08:50.49
So if you are at home
00:08:50.53\00:08:51.86
and you're experiencing symptoms
00:08:51.89\00:08:53.23
or maybe recently
you've experienced them,
00:08:53.26\00:08:54.60
get it checked out.
00:08:54.63\00:08:55.96
Don't just wait
and think you're tough
00:08:56.00\00:08:57.33
and then you're gonna,
00:08:57.37\00:08:58.70
you're gonna save lot
of money, necessarily.
00:08:58.73\00:09:00.60
Get it checked
out, that's really
00:09:00.64\00:09:01.97
an important thing to do.
00:09:02.00\00:09:03.34
Now, Dr. Marcum,
00:09:03.37\00:09:04.71
you got an interesting
perspective on health.
00:09:04.74\00:09:06.07
And you mentioned earlier
00:09:06.11\00:09:07.44
that you're gonna share
biblical prescription with us.
00:09:07.48\00:09:08.81
Let's talk about
that a little bit.
00:09:08.84\00:09:10.18
Yeah.
00:09:10.21\00:09:11.55
Well, there's many
different texts in the Bible
00:09:11.58\00:09:13.15
that can lead
us to better health
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.48
and to turn off the genes
00:09:15.52\00:09:17.32
and also to give
us hope and courage.
00:09:17.35\00:09:19.62
And the one I want
to share with us today
00:09:19.65\00:09:23.12
is from 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
00:09:23.16\00:09:26.63
1 Thessalonians 5:18,
00:09:26.66\00:09:28.76
and we'll get that text up
00:09:28.80\00:09:30.30
for all of our
viewers to look at.
00:09:30.33\00:09:32.73
And let me read it to
you from my scripture here,
00:09:32.77\00:09:35.70
"In everything give thanks:
00:09:35.74\00:09:38.27
for this is the will of
God in Christ Jesus for you."
00:09:38.31\00:09:42.54
Everything!
00:09:42.58\00:09:44.61
Thanking for your
symptoms, thanking for the good,
00:09:44.65\00:09:47.98
thanking for the bad,
in everything give thanks.
00:09:48.02\00:09:51.85
And we've done the studies
00:09:51.89\00:09:53.66
and it shown when
people give thanks,
00:09:53.69\00:09:55.52
guess what happens?
00:09:55.56\00:09:56.93
They turn off
the stress chemistry,
00:09:56.96\00:09:59.23
blood pressure
lowers, less heart attacks,
00:09:59.26\00:10:02.10
they rest better
and in our busy world
00:10:02.13\00:10:04.67
sometimes we don't
have time to thank God
00:10:04.70\00:10:07.20
for our illnesses,
for our difficulties,
00:10:07.24\00:10:09.94
for everything give thanks
00:10:09.97\00:10:11.37
because that's a
biblical prescription,
00:10:11.41\00:10:13.38
'cause that
changes the physiology,
00:10:13.41\00:10:15.31
especially of aging.
00:10:15.34\00:10:17.08
It slowly slows down
some of all the bad things
00:10:17.11\00:10:19.25
that's happening in our body.
00:10:19.28\00:10:21.08
So that's the
biblical prescription
00:10:21.12\00:10:22.75
I want to lead today.
00:10:22.78\00:10:24.12
Not in just the good things,
00:10:24.15\00:10:25.79
in everything give thanks,
00:10:25.82\00:10:27.92
that is a true
biblical prescription.
00:10:27.96\00:10:29.99
Yeah, and for you at home,
00:10:30.03\00:10:31.73

The other is the
biblical prescriptions app
00:10:57.92\00:10:59.42
we were just talking about,
00:10:59.45\00:11:00.79
I mean it's a
free mobile device,
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.16
it'll give you a daily scripture
00:11:02.19\00:11:04.23
that you can focus on,
00:11:04.26\00:11:05.59
which is gonna give you
better health when you worship.
00:11:05.63\00:11:07.40
Yeah, and also gives
you biblical prescriptions
00:11:07.43\00:11:09.70
that you can apply
00:11:09.73\00:11:11.07
to help improve
your aging process.
00:11:11.10\00:11:12.87
So maybe we don't have this
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.40
and also connects you
with God on a regular basis
00:11:14.44\00:11:17.41
who is the
ultimate source of healing.
00:11:17.44\00:11:19.41
And if you
might have a question,
00:11:19.44\00:11:20.78

00:11:23.55\00:11:24.88
we want to serve
your spiritual needs.
00:11:24.91\00:11:26.25
Yeah.
00:11:26.28\00:11:27.62
Well, Dr. Marcum,
thank you very much
00:11:27.65\00:11:28.98
for sharing with us
about cardiovascular disease,
00:11:29.02\00:11:30.35
and we'll look forward
tomorrow on another program.
00:11:30.39\00:11:31.72
Okay.
00:11:31.75\00:11:33.09
It's all the time we've today
on the Ultimate Prescription.
00:11:33.12\00:11:34.46
Thank you for
joining us, God bless.
00:11:34.49\00:11:35.82
Dr. Marcum is
gonna end with prayer
00:11:35.86\00:11:37.19
in just a moment.
00:11:37.23\00:11:38.56
We've talked about
many different aspects
00:11:47.54\00:11:50.07
of cardiovascular disease today.
00:11:50.11\00:11:52.97
And
unfortunately I had bad genes
00:11:53.01\00:11:55.28
and I need a savior.
00:11:55.31\00:11:57.15
You have bad genes
and you need a savior.
00:11:57.18\00:11:59.11
But I'm so glad
that we have that savior
00:11:59.15\00:12:01.38
that helps us know the
place for modern medicine.
00:12:01.42\00:12:04.29
When do we need to get help,
when do we need to call 911?
00:12:04.32\00:12:08.19
Also gives us power to
understand lifestyle changes.
00:12:08.22\00:12:11.06
Whether that
might be eating better,
00:12:11.09\00:12:12.89
moving more, sleeping better,
00:12:12.93\00:12:15.20
drinking more water and
the list goes on and on.
00:12:15.23\00:12:19.10
But many of you
need special help today,
00:12:19.13\00:12:21.14
and I wanna spend a moment today
00:12:21.17\00:12:23.10
to pray for you,
00:12:23.14\00:12:24.47
asking for God to
come into your lives
00:12:24.51\00:12:26.57
to be that source
of ultimate healing.
00:12:26.61\00:12:28.94
And I also want to
remind you of daily worship.
00:12:28.98\00:12:32.28
How important that is
to come to God in prayer.
00:12:32.31\00:12:35.98
Remember this
text in Thessalonians,
00:12:36.02\00:12:37.92
"In all things give thanks."
00:12:37.95\00:12:40.56
You know, God
can use our illness
00:12:40.59\00:12:42.79
to bring us closer to Him.
00:12:42.82\00:12:44.63
Sometime He chooses
to heal us right away
00:12:44.66\00:12:46.73
with modern medicines,
00:12:46.76\00:12:48.10
sometimes He uses
lifestyle changes,
00:12:48.13\00:12:50.03
but He has promised
to heal us in heaven.
00:12:50.07\00:12:53.30
So let's bow our heads together.
00:12:53.34\00:12:57.24
Father in heaven,
we wanna thank You
00:12:57.27\00:12:59.67
for being here with
us this very moment.
00:12:59.71\00:13:02.28
No matter where we are at,
00:13:02.31\00:13:03.65
no matter where we are watching,
00:13:03.68\00:13:05.01
thank You for being
our Lord and Savior,
00:13:05.05\00:13:07.92
and for healing us in Your time.
00:13:07.95\00:13:10.72
Help us to trust You in
every aspect of our lives,
00:13:10.75\00:13:16.16
in our health, in our
wellness, in our worship Father,
00:13:16.19\00:13:19.43
and help us to
understand Your will
00:13:19.46\00:13:21.23
in our life today.
00:13:21.26\00:13:22.76
Go with us,
Father, and thank You
00:13:22.80\00:13:24.53
and help us to remember
to give thanks in all things.
00:13:24.57\00:13:28.70
Amen.
