James 5:15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Prayer can heal anything! That is well-known. Dead people can arise, even Lepers (Matthew 10:8) can become
clean once more.
Jesus does this to those who have Faith in Him (Matthew 17:20). But
why be content with healing? The secular science of medicine has long been interested in disease prevention! There is a subdiscipline of this vile practice call "
preventive medicine". Jesus obviously condemns these alternative, atheist healing methods (2 Chronicles 16:10-12), but the
general idea of halting the spread of hazardous phenomena before overt disease appears is worth considering! Let us examine what the alternative healers have to offer:
Quote:
Preventive Medicine is practiced by all physicians to keep their patients healthy. It is also a unique medical specialty recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). Preventive Medicine focuses on the health of individuals, communities, and defined populations. Its goal is to protect, promote, and maintain health and well-being and to prevent disease, disability, and death.

Once we apply these ideas to the Biblical worldview, we can see how
effective this method could be!
"Preventive Prayer should be practiced by all Creation Scientists to keep their congregation Spiritually healthy. It is also a unique pastoral specialty recognized by Jesus (Son of God our LORD). Preventive Prayer focuses on the Spiritual health of individuals, communities, and defined populations. Its goal is to protect, promote, and maintain health and well-being and to prevent sin, sodomy, and death without repentance."
Very practical, useful and commendable goals! Now let us examine if these practices would be feasible based on the methodology of Creation Science:
- Does the Bible support it?
- Do we have any empirical evidence of the effectiveness of this new and revolutionary practice?
The answers are as follows:
- Yes, it does!
- Yes, we have!
Of course, the inquiring mind would like to have some more details available. I'm happy to provide you with them!
The Biblical Proof!
2 Chronicles 6:19
Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:” - Here we can see that this method requires a humble mind filled with the Grace of God and readiness to submit to Jesus!
Job 22:27
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
- You must be ready to promise God that you'll do His bidding and you must be prepared to fulfill your promise. If you do this...
Psalms 6:9
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
- Jesus will hear you and examine your pleas.
Psalms 35:13
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
- The prayers will be returned. There's going to be an answer, an effect of the process.
Hebrews 5:7
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Bible? Checked! Empirical evidence?
There's plenty of empirical evidence. I've been utilizing this method for a while now. I've asked to be spared of asbestos-related cancers:
I am clean. I've asked NOT to catch the disease called "
gay bowel syndrome"!
I have not caught it. I've been
spared AIDS. I've been praying that the secular doctors would not kidnap me and subject me to be practices of
colonoscopy through the
rectum to insert the
large intestinal demons through this orifice that is designed by God to the procedures of exit only and
I've not been exposed to this practice.
Preventive prayer. It works!
Both the Biblical proof and the experimental evidence indicate that
this practice is most effective. Instead of praying for existing conditions to be healed we can concentrate on constant 24/7 prayer to be speared of these pathological phenomena in the first place. This is much more
practical and quite
useful.
It is my pleasure to share this breakthrough in Prayer Healing with you, Brothers and Sisters, and thank
Jesus for giving me the inspiration to this unique epiphany!
Yours in Christ,
