00:04 Stay tuned... you won't want to miss 00:06 his life-saving tips... 00:07 My name is Yvonne Lewis and you're watching 00:10 Urban Report... 00:32 Hello and welcome to Urban Report... 00:35 My guest today is Dr. James Marcum 00:38 Physician, Author and Host of 3ABN's Program 00:41 "Ultimate Prescription" 00:43 Welcome to Urban Report Dr. Marcum... 00:46 Thank you... I'm so glad to be here... 00:49 I hope the weather is good there as it is here... 00:51 It is so beautiful here, it's going to be in the 80s here 00:54 we're at the... well, I won't say where we are 00:56 because we don't want people to know 00:58 we're taping this... but it is wonderful... 01:02 the weather here is beautiful, what about... where you are? 01:04 It's great... and actually the sun's out today 01:07 we want everyone to get out in the sun at least 20 minutes 01:10 three times a week... that will help their Vitamin D 01:13 which will increase the medicine in the brain called 01:16 Serotonin... which will help fight depression 01:19 Come on now... see, already, we're learning 01:21 stuff... already... you know, Dr. Jim, some people 01:24 might not know about your background 01:27 tell us where you grew up and how did you get 01:30 into this whole medical field? 01:31 Well, you know, years ago, I grew up in Florida 01:35 and subsequently I moved to Texas 01:38 and I went to School... Undergraduate... 01:40 to the University of Texas, and then after that 01:42 I went to Medical School, in San Antonio... 01:45 and then I did Internal Medicine and ultimately Cardiology 01:49 and what I found out... that modern medicine is great, 01:52 at treating symptoms... but it doesn't do a whole lot 01:55 about getting at the cause of disease... 01:58 Come on... you're talking my language now. 02:01 So, about... in 2006, we formed a ministry 02:03 to let people know the truth of Medicine 02:06 called, "Heartwise Ministries" and slowly we started 02:09 getting the word out... we realized that the ultimate 02:12 text book was the Bible, and that within the Bible, 02:16 we had tons of great prescriptions 02:19 for chronic disease, ways to help us keep 02:21 from getting sick, and treatments for people 02:25 that were actually sick... So, you mean to say, 02:28 that the Bible which so many people 02:31 especially in this modern time that we live in... 02:35 so many people think that the Bible is irrelevant 02:38 to modern-day life... and certainly... 02:42 not connected to Science, you're telling us 02:44 that the Bible has prescriptions for living, 02:47 for Health and Wellness, Absolutely, Yvonne, and you know 02:53 we don't want people not to think that there's 02:55 not a place for modern medicine, there is a place 02:58 for modern medicine... especially in emergencies... 03:00 if your heart's going too slow, I want a person to have 03:03 a pacemaker if you're having a heart attack, 03:06 I want to put in a stent... 03:07 if you're bleeding to death, I want to stop the bleeding... 03:10 but for chronic disease, a lot of the conditions we're in 03:14 the Bible has Science-proven methods to change 03:18 our Chemistry to get us back more to the original design 03:22 which doesn't turn on some of our genetics 03:24 you know, there's a spiel called epigenetics right now, 03:28 where certain genes are turned on by environmental factors 03:31 so the Bible dealt with all of this 03:33 and helped us learn about this many, many years ago... 03:36 Wow, that is so exciting... one of the things 03:40 that affect African Americans more than the general population 03:45 in fact, about 40 percent of adult African Americans 03:50 have Hypertension... 03:53 what would you say 03:55 are some of the causes of Hypertension... 03:58 High blood pressure? First, I want to make sure 04:01 everyone understands what Hypertension is 04:04 or High blood pressure... Yvonne, sometimes they call it 04:08 the hidden killer... because you don't even know 04:10 that the blood pressure is going so fast 04:13 in your body... but High blood pressure 04:15 over time can lead to heart disease 04:17 can lead to strokes, it can lead to kidney disease, 04:21 it can cause aneurysms, it can lead to dementia, 04:25 and a lot of people don't even have their 04:27 blood pressure checked, but everyone should 04:29 get out there and get their blood pressure checked 04:31 it's the devise that goes around your arm 04:34 called a Blood Pressure Cuff, a fancy name for what is 04:37 called a sphygmomanometer and if your blood pressure 04:41 is above a 140 on the top... that's when the heart 04:44 first pumps... or above 90 when it relaxes 04:48 you might have High blood pressure 04:50 so, when anyone has a diagnosis of this... 04:53 let's say 3 or 4 times when they're nice and relaxed 04:56 their blood pressure is high, now everyone goes up 04:59 occasionally... you know, you get excited when 05:01 you're doing your television program 05:03 or you get excited about something... 05:05 it might go up, but that blood pressure 05:06 should come right back down... so, if it's up all the time 05:10 you might have High blood pressure 05:11 and when a person comes in with High blood pressure 05:14 first thing I want to do is, first of all... 05:15 make sure that no organs have been damaged... 05:19 and we do that by checking the urine and EKG... 05:22 making sure they're thinking right... 05:24 making sure the heart's doing well, 05:25 but the next thing I ask, "Why... why do they have 05:29 High blood pressure? What is putting stress 05:32 on the body that could make the adrenalin and cortisol 05:35 go up... for the blood pressure to go up... 05:37 and guess what that the number one causes 05:39 of High blood pressure is now? What? 05:42 just carrying extra weight, Wow! 05:45 extra weight makes these chemicals... adrenalin cortisol 05:48 which raises blood pressure... so some people... 05:50 just by becoming active and losing a few pounds 05:53 their blood pressure will come down... 05:55 another cause of High blood pressure is 05:57 inactivity... well when you sit around 06:00 that leads to High blood pressure... 06:02 there are some conditions that people don't even realize 06:04 they have... one that's called Sleep Apnea... 06:07 where people don't breath good at night... 06:09 well when people don't breathe good at night 06:11 that makes the stress chemicals go up 06:13 which causes high blood pressure as well 06:16 So, there is a relationship between Sleep Apnea 06:19 and High Blood Pressure... Absolutely... 06:21 and other things that people don't think 06:23 Thyroid Disease can cause High blood pressure... 06:26 Kidney disease can cause High blood pressure... 06:29 chronic pain can cause High Blood Pressure 06:32 there are certain things that we eat 06:34 that cause High blood pressure, everyone's heard of salt... 06:37 but there's sodium in almost all the processed food 06:40 that we eat... things like licorice 06:42 can raise your blood pressure, Yes... 06:44 and even certain medicines can raise your blood pressure 06:47 as well... so, when a person has 06:49 High blood pressure, I go down that big list 06:51 and see if I can figure out why they have High blood pressure... 06:54 And see, that's so important because, one of the things 06:58 that people are told, many times... 07:00 is... they're given the diagnosis of 07:03 essential Hypertension... and that essentially means 07:06 we don't know what causes it... Exactly... 07:09 So, it's so important and this is why 07:11 you are one of my favorite physicians 07:13 because... you really do consider the root cause... 07:18 you're not just about treating the symptoms 07:21 through medication... you are... into... 07:24 finding out, "What is the root cause of this disorder... 07:28 and it can also be... related to emotions 07:32 Exactly... Tell us how unforgiveness, 07:34 for example, can lead to hypertension... 07:38 Well, Yvonne, if you get back to anything that stresses 07:42 the body... makes chemicals like adrenalin and cortisol 07:46 which raises the blood pressure, so any type of stress 07:49 which I define as living in ways that God didn't intend us to do, 07:54 and that could be living in pain... 07:55 living in fear, and also, having guilt... 07:58 when you have this, the part of the brain 08:01 that governs our stress part the Limbic system 08:04 the medulla starts firing like crazy... 08:07 it makes all these stress chemicals 08:10 and stress chemicals are great if you're running from danger 08:13 or if you're running away from a snake 08:15 or if there is a fire in your home, 08:17 but you make the stress chemicals 08:19 chronically day after day 08:20 year after year... it starts to damage your body... 08:24 so what happens... all these chemicals raises 08:26 your stress chemistry, so it raises your blood pressure 08:29 so you can run from the danger, but it can also cause 08:33 long-term damage... also chronic stress 08:36 chronic guilt, fear, these types of things 08:38 also damage the front part of our brain, 08:41 so we can't think as well... 08:42 and things that can also, in addition to guilt 08:46 we think of fear, we think of people who watch 08:49 prolonged violence on TV... that can also stimulate 08:53 the stress cascade... things like pornography 08:56 or anything that our body wasn't designed to have 08:59 done to it... could trigger the stress cascade 09:02 which could raise your blood pressure... 09:03 So, "as a man thinketh" has so much truth to it, 09:06 just by controlling our thoughts our fears, our anxiety... 09:10 our guilt... we could lower the chance of us 09:13 turning on these chemicals and lower our blood pressure... 09:16 You know, it's so interesting to me that there is this 09:20 mind-body connection... that God did not create 09:24 us as these beings that have isolated aspects 09:28 but actually inter-dependent aspects 09:31 so that when we are subjected to violence 09:36 and a lot of video games, I think for young people too 09:41 and we're probably finding more hypertension 09:44 in younger people as well now because of this whole 09:48 thrust of violence, it's so interesting to me that 09:52 we have this connection between the mind and the body 09:56 and the spiritual aspects of the person... 09:59 one of the things that I found also 10:04 in my research 10:05 was... because I used to have a wellness practice 10:08 in Dallas... and I had patients that would come to me with 10:12 Hypertension, and one of the things 10:14 can be a Magnesium deficiency, that can be a source of 10:19 the Hypertension as well... and many people 10:21 don't realize that if they test 10:23 the Erythrocyte Magnesium the Red Blood Cell Magnesium 10:27 that's better than the Serum Magnesium 10:30 for determining that there is a deficiency... 10:33 some people don't even know that they might have 10:35 Hypertension just because they have a Magnesium deficiency 10:38 and if they eat certain fruits and vegetables 10:40 they can get more Magnesium into their diet... 10:43 Tell us how the Bible fits in to 10:48 High blood pressure... health... You know, I think Yvonne, 10:53 the Bible fits into everything 10:55 and God wants us to feel well and be well 10:58 and if we go back... to the original design 11:02 we weren't designed to have High blood pressure... 11:04 we were designed to have normal blood pressure, 11:07 our original design was not to have stress 11:10 on our body from all the things we talked about... 11:13 whether the low Magnesium or extra weight 11:16 or not sleeping good at night, or putting a lot of sodium 11:19 in our bodies... having chronic physical pain 11:22 or having chronic mental pain, 11:24 all which can cause stress 11:26 which raises the blood pressure, 11:27 so what I encourage people to do is 11:29 get into the Bible, and study how God made us 11:32 originally... and try to work towards that 11:34 in our lives... God made us to rest, 11:37 so rest is a wonderful, Biblical treatment... 11:40 for High blood pressure... both a weekly rest, 11:43 as well as a nightly rest, how many people now 11:46 take a day off and rest? Oh, Dr. Marcum, that is such 11:52 a critical piece... because if God hadn't built 11:55 into the Ten Commandments... the Commandments on rest... 11:58 I think we'd just work ourselves to death... 12:00 That's right... we just keep going... 12:03 and keep going... and you also said something 12:05 that really, really resonated with me... and that is 12:08 chronic emotional pain 12:11 Yes... so many people... 12:13 are carrying these heavy 12:15 burdens and they don't realize that 12:17 if they just take their burdens to the Lord 12:20 and leave them there, what a physical blessing 12:22 that would be... involved in that... 12:24 Can you give us an example of one of your patients 12:27 that had chronic emotional pain that changed that through 12:32 Biblical principles? Well, I had a female 12:35 that came to me not too long ago, 12:36 that had a plethora of problems in her middle forties 12:41 and it was a disaster because originally it started 12:44 because she had foot pain... because she wore high heels 12:48 to work every single day and she started to have 12:51 bad foot pain... well, that led to a surgery 12:54 gaining of 50 pounds when she gained 50 pounds, 12:56 she got High blood pressure, 12:58 diabetes and sleep apnea she kept adding on 13:01 more and more medications, they eventually fired her 13:05 from her job... because she was on narcotics 13:07 and couldn't function well, she didn't know where to go, 13:10 she was on 7 or 8 medications when I first met her, 13:13 and the poor thing... she didn't choose this 13:16 and it all started with pain from high heel shoes... 13:18 and that was the standard in their office 13:22 to wear high heel shoes everyday so, we slowly got her back 13:26 to God's plan... we said, 13:27 "Listen, let's teach her how to rest better... 13:30 how to get some of the stress off her life... 13:32 to turn to God... to eat healthy foods... 13:34 to start an exercise program, to come off some of these 13:38 medications which were causing side effects... 13:41 and then, we also talked to her about something 13:43 that's very interesting now Yvonne, you know a lot of people 13:46 don't realize that everything that comes into our body 13:50 our food, our thoughts, our fears, the way we view God, 13:53 can affect our genetics, there's an evolving field 13:57 out there called "Epigenetics" 13:59 where we activate genes by the way we think, 14:02 the way we feel, and the way we act, 14:04 and these genes can make a lot of bad things 14:07 that damage our bodies too, it can cause mutations 14:10 which can cause... predisposes to all sorts of 14:13 bad medical conditions... so, as she realized that 14:16 modern medicine didn't fix things... 14:18 but getting back to the way God made her... in the beginning 14:21 could get her off these medications, 14:23 the whole world came alive to her... 14:25 and then when she realized that she could turn it over 14:28 to God and He would love her, and He would nurture her, 14:30 because she was made to have a relationship 14:32 with her creator and He was designed 14:34 to help her learn the truth, that sets her free... 14:37 from all of these medical conditions, 14:39 she became a new woman literally... 14:41 That's a great story... you know there's such an 14:45 emphasis on fashion... and these high heels 14:48 can do so much damage... to women 14:51 without us really realizing the kind of damage... 14:54 that it can do... it set off a whole cascade 14:56 of issues... with this young lady... 14:59 Yeah... So, once a patient finds out 15:02 that there is hope for them, that there is 15:06 another way... that includes wellness... 15:09 it would seem to me... that it would make such a 15:12 difference to know that... I don't have to be sick 15:16 all the time... I don't have to have 15:18 these conditions... if I follow Biblical principles 15:21 Yeah, that's so important to let people know... 15:25 you know modern medicine does not necessarily 15:27 teach this all the time, many times, I tell people that 15:31 as a cardiologist... a lot of times, 15:34 I just treat the symptoms I manage risks... 15:37 that's what I do in the office... 15:39 but if they don't want me to do these things... 15:42 here is the plan... 15:43 and you can get back to a very healthy life... 15:45 now, not everyone is going to be perfect... 15:47 because we do have genetic disease, 15:49 but as we get back to God's plan... 15:51 He can heal us now and if He doesn't heal us now... 15:55 He can heal us eternally... and that's what we want 15:57 everyone... all your listeners to know today 15:59 that you can be healed eternally by plugging into this 16:02 relationship that we were designed to have 16:05 with our creator... Absolutely... absolutely... 16:08 plugging in... that is such an important 16:12 concept... we plug in because 16:13 He is our power source... Exactly... 16:15 He is the source of our power, what about hypercholesterolemia 16:21 what about people who have high cholesterol 16:23 that need to have bypass operations 16:28 and all of that... what would you suggest 16:30 to them... to do naturally to A. perhaps dissolve the plaque 16:35 or to stop the plaque... what would you recommend 16:38 to them? I get that everyday, Yvonne, 16:41 because we do bypasses and I tell the people... 16:44 I say the Bypasses just help your symptoms... 16:46 they do not take away the problems 16:49 but I say, the first place I start... 16:51 is in a relationship with the Heavenly Father... 16:54 because in that relationship, they find peace 16:56 which turns down their stress chemistry... 16:59 it helps change their brains, they can learn what the truth is 17:02 and it's hard to find truth in this well-marketed world... 17:06 and I'm glad you're doing programs that help 17:08 bring truth to people, another thing that it helps them 17:11 when they start on this relationship is... 17:13 it gives them the power to make changes 17:15 that might be hard and some of these changes, 17:17 if you've had blockages in the arteries... 17:20 is... is try not to eat things that have lots of cholesterol 17:23 in them... try to eat healthy things 17:25 like lots of fruits and vegetables and nuts and grains, 17:28 and eat less of the bad stuff 17:30 hopefully... none if possible... and I tell people... 17:33 just eat enough of the bad stuff just to make you happy, 17:36 because if you're not happy inside... 17:39 that chemistry that comes from being a grumpy person 17:42 that's bad for you too... so it's about balance... 17:46 so I start people in that relationship 17:48 and then I say, "Well, let's talk about 17:50 what would be the next thing... well, let's drink enough water 17:52 everyday... since 70 percent of your body is water 17:55 then you won't eat as much of the bad stuff... 17:57 let's try to focus on not eating big at night, 18:00 because that big meal at night... 18:01 is when we store a lot of that cholesterol 18:04 in our body... try to eat 4 to 5 fresh fruits 18:07 and vegetables a day... then if that's going good, 18:10 get on a Movement Program... where you can walk 18:12 you know, maybe start... one minute, five minutes, 18:14 build up to 45 minutes a day of exercise... 18:18 and then if that goes good, continue to follow God's leading 18:22 and work on your relationship with each other 18:26 being happy... that helps your chemistry... 18:29 listen to good music, all of these things 18:31 can help lower the stress which will bring down 18:33 our cholesterol levels... that is great... 18:36 that is great... plugging in... 18:39 to the source... 18:41 and developing that relationship with Jesus Christ 18:44 to help us make lifestyle choices that are 18:47 healthier... you know, you said something, 18:49 and again... it's so true that it is difficult for some people 18:54 to make changes... in their diets, 18:56 and in their lifestyle, I've had a patient in Dallas 18:59 that... I was... she had... 19:02 breast cancer... 19:03 and I was telling her some natural things to do 19:06 and some changes in the diet, and she began to cry 19:10 because she said, "I don't want to... 19:12 I really don't like those things I don't want to change... " 19:15 and we need... if you continue to do 19:18 the same things... those are the things that 19:21 triggered the disease process in the first place... 19:25 so you have to make some changes and God will help you 19:28 to do that... And you know, Yvonne, 19:31 one thing that I found as I tried to meet people 19:33 where they're at... we try to love them 19:36 and not judge them... and I just pick one thing 19:38 and I say, "Just stick with it for one month... 19:41 and with God helping you I guarantee you 19:43 when you come back next month, you'll have something positive" 19:46 and then when they see how God has led them 19:49 on that one thing... we start on thing Number 2, 19:51 Ah... remember... 19:52 Rome wasn't built in a day... and remember 19:55 the chemistry that comes from 19:56 not feeling like you can do it, 19:58 or being discouraged or stressed that chemistry is just as bad 20:02 as almost anything else... so we got to encourage people 20:05 and love them... and try not to overwhelm them 20:07 as we move along this path, to wellness and health... 20:11 Yes, how good... to give them one thing 20:14 at a time... to do which gives them 20:16 a sense of accomplishment, because they've been able 20:19 to do that one thing... and then they can add... 20:22 another modification so that's a great idea... 20:26 Another thing is... it's about relationships too 20:29 you know... we were designed to be with each other 20:32 and encourage and love each other 20:33 and all be healers for each other 20:35 Yes... so when we embark 20:36 on these journeys, you know, not only do we want God's help 20:39 but get other people's help... get people praying for you, 20:42 helping you, encouraging you, praising you, 20:45 learn as much as you can about being healthy 20:47 Absolutely... absolutely... what about patients that have 20:53 congestive heart failure, what would you recommend 20:58 for them? Yeah, well you know all of these 21:00 principles luckily that work for High blood pressure 21:03 and high Cholesterol... also help for heart failure... 21:06 but when I deal with someone with heart failure... 21:09 that's when the heart's not doing it's job... 21:11 first again you have to ask... 21:12 "Why is the heart not doing it's job?" 21:15 Is the thyroid overactive? 21:17 Is the heart weak? Is there a bad valve? 21:19 sometimes if it's something 21:21 like a bad valve... that could be repaired... 21:23 if it's something more complicated 21:25 like a chronically ill heart... then things like exercise 21:29 eating a healthy diet, being happy, 21:32 keeping the blood pressure good, 21:34 and here's one... getting enough rest... 21:36 I had a stockbroker from New York City 21:39 that came to me recently... he had been 21:41 to see doctors all over the United States... 21:44 on all the right medicines, he already had 21:47 two Bypass surgeries... he's on all the perfect 21:50 medicines... all the dosages had been 21:52 titrated perfectly... I asked him, 21:54 I started going through God's certain plan for him... 21:58 and found out that he didn't rest at night... 22:00 he stayed up to 11:30 every night... 22:03 he worked till 9 or 10 cell phones, iPads, e-mails, 22:07 you name it... just by starting to rest 22:10 at night... his blood pressure came down 22:13 he started having less angina, his cholesterol came down, 22:18 his inflammation in his body just came down... 22:20 just by keeping a nightly rest... 22:23 well the next thing I'm going to move him to... 22:25 is a weekly rest... and can you imagine how his 22:28 chemistries then continued to improve... 22:30 I love it... so, with your patients, 22:32 you introduce that weekly rest, that Sabbath rest 22:36 to your patients? Yes, I do... 22:37 how do they usually respond, those who are not familiar with 22:41 the Sabbath rest... how do they usually respond? 22:44 One thing I like to do is... not everyone believes 22:46 in the Bible out there, Yvonne, and in all of our principles... 22:49 are on the Bible... so I talk to them first about 22:52 getting to know the Bible and see if you think it's true, 22:56 and I try to give them a lot of evidence 22:58 that the Bible is true... both historically... 23:02 we've proven it with modern medicine 23:04 archeologically, the prophecies, and then I say, 23:07 "Well, why don't you read the Bible yourself 23:10 and let God prove it to you... " 23:12 and I've not had anyone that didn't believe the 23:14 Bible after they honestly were searching 23:17 to see if it was true... 23:18 Well, that's so great... because what you're doing... 23:22 again is you're showing the relevance of the Bible 23:25 to modern times... I think so many people 23:27 think that the Bible is a book of antiquity... 23:30 and it's not relevant to anything in our lives now... 23:34 and those principles, the original diet, 23:37 in going back to God's original plan... 23:40 which is the "Ultimate Prescription" 23:42 if you will... it just makes all the difference 23:45 And when they get back to that 23:48 and realize that there's a God that loves them... 23:50 all of a sudden... truth starts coming alive 23:53 in their lives... they discover things 23:54 that they never heard before, that goes with their health 23:58 that goes with the relationship 24:00 and the healing actually starts at that place... 24:02 and when they understand these things... 24:05 understand that the Bible is true... 24:07 they start following the principles in the Bible, 24:10 they fall in love with the God of love... 24:12 they start having probably 24:14 the greatest healing force in the universe... 24:16 and that's love in their life, Yes... 24:17 God is love, 24:18 and once you have love, that's a healing force 24:21 for your body too... when you love people... 24:23 you make endorphins... remember we were designed 24:25 to love each other, and people that don't love 24:28 are selfish... and that damages the body's 24:30 chemistry... so as they learn 24:32 all these things, their body becomes chemically 24:35 more like what God made them, and they... 24:37 get very excited... they get very happy... 24:39 eventually, they want to share this good news... 24:42 with other people... and it's all very... 24:44 really... it's very exciting when they realize 24:46 that their God wants to heal them... 24:48 not only physically... but also, emotionally as well. 24:53 Absolutely... you are one of those enthusiastic Docs... 24:57 I love that about you... because you're not 25:00 you're not just caught up into the day-to-day... 25:03 you actually seem to love what you're doing... 25:06 you have a passion for what you're doing... 25:09 Oh yeah, Yvonne, but I think we were all designed 25:12 to heal each other... we were designed 25:13 to love each other... and take care of the earth 25:16 which includes... each other... and help each other 25:18 to come into a relationship with God... 25:20 this is sort of evangelism, and as you talk to... 25:23 your people out there, just a simple thing 25:26 as saying a prayer... and ask God 25:28 to start a relationship with you... 25:30 that can be a start... of a healing relationship 25:33 that you can't really put... you can't really measure that... 25:36 and all the good it can do, and all the power 25:38 it can give a person... Absolutely... absolutely... 25:41 I don't know where our time is gone... 25:43 but we're ending this program 25:46 and you've just given us so much information. 25:49 Tell us... before we go... 25:51 what you're doing now... tell us about the Program 25:54 that you have... and the book... 25:56 and all of that... Yeah, well we have a ministry 25:58 called Heartwise Ministries and they can 26:01 plug into the website HeartwiseMinistries. org 26:04 we'd be happy to answer your questions... 26:06 we also have a weekly live Program... 26:09 that's going to be seen on 3ABN starting in January 26:12 where people can call in and ask their questions live... 26:15 we have another Program called "The Ultimate Prescription" 26:19 where we continue to teach these principles 26:21 so people continue to learn more about 26:23 taking care of their bodies, coming into a relationship 26:27 with the Creator, and letting the Holy Spirit 26:29 take each individual 26:30 to that unique place they need to be... 26:33 Thank you so much Dr. Marcum for today... 26:35 would you come back and share some of that 26:37 information with us? Absolutely, I will be happy to. 26:40 That will be Great... may God bless you 26:42 as you continue to serve Him 26:43 and help others to... toward health and wellness. 26:46 We know that Jesus is the Divine Physician 26:51 and that He, as our Creator, has put certain laws into place, 26:54 if we follow those laws of health, 26:57 we can be well... illness ensues when we disregard 27:01 those laws... a lack of nutrition, rest, 27:04 and a spirit of unforgiveness can lead to disease... 27:07 true health is found in an integration 27:11 of the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects 27:14 of one's being... Jesus asked the man 27:17 by the Pool of Bethesda... 27:19 "Wilt thou be made whole, do you want to be well?" 27:23 Do you want to be well? 27:25 Well, if you do... then you'll make healthy choices 27:29 you'll plug into the Creator, you'll develop a relationship 27:32 with Him... you'll ask Him for the power 27:35 to make changes in your life, because it isn't easy... 27:38 as Dr. Marcum said... it's really not easy 27:41 to make these changes, but we can 27:43 through the power of the Holy Spirit... 27:46 and we can be made whole... 27:48 and we can be well... if we just follow 27:51 the laws of health... 27:53 Well, where did our time go? 27:56 We hope that you'll join us next time... 27:59 It just wouldn't be the same without you... |
