Brother James
Beloved of All
I greatly appreciate your prayers and support. I just want to point out one thing: I am well aware that my body is a temple. I quit smoking. I eat right. I exercise. I researched the narcotics. Tramadol is the least addictive, and I would be very careful about usage. The real problem here is the fact that the DOCTORS involved here didn't think of my body as a temple. They gave me way too many drugs, some of which I did not belong on. They also didn't warn me these drugs could seriously hurt me. I want OFF of all these drugs and have no intention of taking a drug that could hurt my heart or give me Parkinson's disease to control a mild movement disorder that I do not believe is even the cause of the jaw issues. I think going to that neurologist is opening myself up for even bigger problems precisely because these doctors are so drug happy. The tramadol used judiciously is the lesser of all these evils, and the best treatment for me is that orthotic. I just know it.
Yes our bodies are temples yet there is really nothing that we can do for our Salvation especially since Jesus did, does and will do everything and I mean everything for us. People sometimes ask me what I will say as to why I should be allowed in Heaven and my answer would be nothing for Jesus is my only answer as to why I should be allowed in Heaven. Belief in Jesus is my only reason for my belonging in Heaven.
Jesus heals us based on what He Did for us Us, not for what we have done even though we continue to just keep our eyes, hearts and imaginations on Jesus. Even if I share with everyone that I am dependent upon Jesus alone and by His stripes I am healed it’s not on my own for the Holy Spirit lives in me to testify so it’s still on only Jesus. Did I quit smoking cigarettes or do anything in order to get saved or get healed? No, I simply Believe Jesus. I believe, Lord help my unbelief and wash me in Your Word as I meditate upon it, read it, look up words I don’t understand and study it while You prepare me for what You have for me and so much more for Your Glory and my good in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!
