We have given you a lot of information on products that we have found to have healing qualities. But, the most important thing that we can do
is to introduce you to the Great Physician Himself, " Jesus our Lord!" He is the healer. To Him all credit is due!
We would not be telling you our story if it weren't for Him. If you don't know Jesus, of whom we are speaking, we invite you to
take a few minutes to read some spiritual principles that will introduce Him to you. NO Matter what your circumstance may be, He is the answer!
God bless you!

THE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS OR PRINCIPLES:
Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, there are also spiritual laws that govern our relationship with God.
LAW ONE
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.
God's Love
God loved the people of this world so much, that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really
die. John 3: 16
God's Plan
(Jesus said)
A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest. John 10:10
Why is it that most people are not experiencing life at its fullest?
LAW TWO
Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore man cannot know and experience God's love and plan for their life.
Man is sinful
"All people have sinned and are not good enough for God's glory" Romans 3:23
Man was created by God, to have fellowship with Him.
But God gave man a free will, so that he could choose to have a relationship with Him and not be forced into one like a slave. Man chose to go his own independent way and the fellowship with God was broken. The self will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion, or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
Man is separated from God
"When someone sins, he earns what sin pays-- Death. But God gives us a free gift-- life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord
" Romans 6:23
The third law gives us the only answer to this dilemma....
LAW THREE
JESUS CHRIST is God's ONLY provision for man's sin.
It is through Him, you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
He Died in our Place
Christ died for us at a time when we were helpless and sinful.
No one is really willing to die for an honest person. Though someone might be willing to die for a truly good person.
But God showed how much He loved us, by having Christ die for us even though we were sinful. But there is more! Now that God has
accepted us because Christ sacrificed His Life's blood, we will also be kept safe from God's anger. Even when we were God's enemies, He made peace with us, because His Son died for us.
Yet something even greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, we will be saved by His Son's life. Romans 5: 6-11
He rose from the Dead!
Christ died for our sins, He was buried and three days later He was raised to life. Christ appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After
this He appeared to more than five hundred other followers. Most of them are still alive but some have died. He also appeared to James and then to all of the apostles. I Corinthians 15:3-7
He is the only way to God
Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life!. Without Me, no one can go to the Father. John 14:6
God has bridged the gap that separates us from Him by sending His Son Jesus Christ to die in our place to pay the penalty for all of
our sins. He was the perfect unblemished sacrifice . . .
but it is not enough to know these three laws . . .
LAW FOUR
We must individually accept and receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.
Then we can know and experience God's Love and Plan for our lives.
We must accept Christ !
He came to the world that was His own.
Some people did accept Him. They believed in Him. To them He gave the right to become the children of God. John 1:12
We receive Christ through Faith
You have been saved by grace, because you believe.
You did not save yourselves. It was a gift from God. You cannot brag that you are saved by the work you have done. Ephesians 2: 8-9
When we receive Christ, We experience a New Birth.
The account between Jesus and Nicodemus
There was a man named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee and a Jewish Leader. One night, he went to Jesus and said,
"Sir, we know that God has sent you to teach us. You could not work these miracles, unless God were with you.
Jesus replied, "I tell you for certain, that you must be born from above before you can see God's Kingdom!
Nicodemus asked, "How can a grown man ever be born a second time?
Jesus answered, "I tell you for certain that before you can get into God's Kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the spirit.
Humans give life to their children. Yet only God's spirit can change you into a child of God. Don't be surprised when I say that you must be born from above. Only God's spirit gives new life. John 3: 1-8
We receive Christ through personal invitation.
Jesus speaking, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in"
Revelation: 3: 20
Receiving Christ into our lives, involves turning to God, away from yourself (repentance) and inviting Christ to come into our
lives, to forgive our sins, and make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He died on the cross for our sins is Not Enough!
We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the WILL.
You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. (prayer is talking to God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer to say .
Lord Jesus, I know that I have lived my life the way I wanted to. I can't do that anymore. I need you in my life.
Please forgive me!
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I want you to come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. Please take control
of my life, and make me the kind of person, that you want me to be. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life with you.
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart?
If it does, pray this prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.
Your life will never be the same!
How do you know that Christ is in your life?
Revelation 3:20 says, "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in!"
GOD promises Eternal Life to All Who Receive Christ!
This is what God told us: "God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life. But the person who does
not have the Son of God does not have life. I write this letter to you who believe in the Son of God. I write so that you will know that you have eternal life now." I John 5: 11-13
Don't forget to thank God often, that he has given you the greatest gift of all , Jesus Christ, and that He will never leave you
!
The Lord has promised that He will not leave us or desert us. Hebrews 13: 5
What do I do next!
Make a time each day when you can talk to God and read His love story, the Bible.
He knows all about us and what we need! Daily, turn over your life to Him.
Allow Him to talk to you through his scripture. Confess your sins daily to Him and be confident that God has forgiven them.
Get a good Bible. We use many translations but a good edition would be the NIV (New International Version ).
Start in the New Testament and read John. There are so many treasures in this book that will give you hope and healing. Ask the Lord to show you, and He will!
Find a Church that teaches God's Word, directly from the Bible. And seek other Christians to pray with you and for you. Please let us know your circumstance and we will pray for you as well.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, and make his face to shine upon YOU!
