You Can Defeat Sickness – The health of the people of the world is under the kingship of medical science and medical practice. That is, we live under the cover and protection of the health systems put in place in every country in the world. The greater the ability and efficiency of our medical personnel, pharmaceutical researchers, and hospitals to combat disease threats, the safer we are as a population.
Diseases are like an invading army. They attack with the intent to destroy the health of our physical bodies and kill us. And our health systems are set up in a battle array against this enemy. We have first lines, second lines, and third lines of defense (primary, secondary, and tertiary care). However, it seems our defense lines are outnumbered, with healthcare stats reporting the existence of over 10,000 diseases known to mankind, to which we have only about 500 medical treatments available. While many of these 10,000 diseases are said to be rarely observed in humans, it is alarming how few are the number of treatments we have compared to known diseases!
A similar defense vs enemy mismatch of this nature (between the number of available treatments vs diseases) is outlined for us in the Bible in 1 Samuel 17. It is the popular story of David vs Goliath. The Israeli army led by King Saul had set up in battle array against a Philistine army that included a giant (Goliath) in its ranks. Victory for Israel was dependent on supplying a soldier strong enough to defeat the giant. But Goliath was such a rare specimen of a Philistine soldier that no Israeli soldier was able to fight him.
This series teach you that you can defeat any and every disease afflicting you, irrespective of its nature. It shows you how to deploy God’s power against sicknesses that have invaded your body or those of your loved ones. Like David, you can defeat sicknesses that even King Saul (medical science and medical practice) is unable to deal with.
