Happy Fathers Day!

June 20, 1999, Sunday

Would you like to have an immune system that no disease,

virus, or sickness could penetrate? Is there a syle of

life or way of life that can produce an immune system

system like that in a person? Is there a style or way

of life that can produce prosperity and good health?

The Apostle John was exiled at Patmos for his faith, but

God had a purpose for his solitude. The Lord showed

John great things about the future for the faithful Believer-

"In the middle of its street, and on either side of the

river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits,

each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of

the tree were for the healing of the nations" (Rev 22:2).

The vision of John describes that in the presence of our

Heavenly Father, the redeemed ones will have preventive

health care against all sickness and immunity from evil.

The leaves are for continuing good health. The Father of

health is the Lord of healing!

The Psalmist described the perpetual state of the Believer

that dwells with his Heavenly Father daily and faithfully-

"And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of

water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf

does not wither; And in all things he does, he prospers

(Psa 1:3). Certainly the promise pertains to the blessing

of the Believer and His prosperity; Good health is promised

but if is not received in this life, is granted in heaven! The

Heavenly Father so waters his children with His grace,

that all circumstances that fall to them, work toward the

salvation and the eternal reward for their soul!

The Psalmist learned the approval of the Lord came from the

obedience to the Holy Spirit's instructions and teachings--

"When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, You will be

happy and it will be well with you" (Psa 128:2). He came to

know best his Heavenly Father gave blessings to make happy

his family and loved ones. It was a blessing to him to enjoy

the fruit of his own labor and profit. That happiness and

blessing brought good health and healing to his soul!

Let us remember Who is the God that is our Healer. God's

Name is Jehová Rophe. He is the God that is our Healer.

He binds up our wounds and heals all of our infirmities. To

the brokenhearted, He comforts the soul. To the person who

is down, the Sun of Rightousness Rises with healing in His

wings. Lift your hands to Him and Praise Him today for

the fact that He is the God that heals us of the spiritual

infirmities that trouble us!
