         1. One of the greatest of healing factors is faith, to know that God loves you & cares for you & is going to take care of you no matter what happens. FAITH eliminates one of the greatest causes of disease & ill health, & that's FEAR & TENSION.
         2. BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE PEACE OF MIND & YOU CAN JUST REST IN THE LORD, knowing He's going to take care of everything, which eliminates one of the major causes of psychosomatic diseases.
         3. FEAR, TENSION, HATRED: ALL BREED THE VARIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL & NERVOUS DISEASES as well as the natural physiological diseases like heart trouble & arthritis & stomach ulcers, all of which can be caused by worry & fear. Nearly all people who have severe cases of arthritis, if not caused by some infection, the arthritis is usually psychosomatic, most frequently caused by bitterness & hatred & a negative attitude toward life. These cause the literal building up of poisons in the body that in turn cause the congestion & pain in the joints.
         4. SO THE ELIMINATION OF FEAR BY FAITH GIVES PEACE OF MIND & REST TO YOUR STOMACH & VITAL ORGANS, including rest to your heart & the actual elimination of poisons from the blood which cause illness. In other words, your state of mind can actually poison your body. This science knows & has proven. This is why some of the purely psychological religions like Christian Science, Unity, New Thought & some of the Oriental religions can sometimes have a good effect.
         5. BECAUSE PEACEFUL MEDITATION & MENTAL CONCENTRATION ON POSITIVE ATTITUDES & GOOD THOUGHTS, ETC., DO DEFINITELY HAVE A GOOD EFFECT ON BOTH MIND & BODY through the right spiritual attitude. This is why the Scriptures say, "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, & if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS."--Phil.4:8. Paul says to forget the things that are behind, so you don't worry about the past, & to press on to the things that are before!--Ph.3:13,14. And the Scripture says don't worry about tomorrow.--Mat.6:34.
         6. THE TWO GREATEST SOURCES OF FEAR & WORRY ARE THE PAST & THE FUTURE--REMORSE OVER THE PAST, OR FEAR OVER THE FUTURE--& God's Word forbids worry about either! Then for the PRESENT He says, "Thou shalt keep him in PERFECT PEACE whose mind IS stayed on THEE"--right NOW--"because he TRUSTETH in Thee."
         7. THE ONE WHO TRUSTS REALLY RESTS IN THE LORD. "FOR PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR," "for fear hath torment." "But GOD hath NOT given us a spirit of FEAR, but of POWER & LOVE & of a SOUND MIND!"--2Tim.1:7.--Which shows the definite relationship of MENTAL DISEASE to FEAR!--And of course there ARE those fears which are actually inspired by the ENEMY.
         8. SO YOUR PHYSICAL STATE OF HEALTH IS DEFINITELY DEPENDENT LARGELY ON YOUR MENTAL STATE OF HEALTH, & your mental health is very largely dependent on your spiritual condition, because both love & faith cast out all fear.--Faith & trust in God gives you a feeling of rest of body, peace of mind, contentment of heart & spiritual well-being, which all tend to greatly improve your whole state of well-being.
         9. BUT MAN WAS PUT HERE TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN GOOD & EVIL, TO DO RIGHT OR WRONG, TO SERVE GOD OR HIMSELF & THE DEVIL & to learn the benefits of serving God, reaping the joy & happiness & pleasures of keeping God's loving rules for his own good & worshipping & thanking God for it all in return, as grateful children of their Heavenly Father, to believe in Him & have faith in Him & trust Him & His Word & obey it for their own good & His glory.
         10. OR MAN CAN BELIEVE THE LIES OF THE DEVIL & REBEL AGAINST GOD & disobey Him & refuse to believe His Word & go their own way & suffer the consequences of violating His health rules & His mental & spiritual laws, rebellion against which & disobedience to which bring ill health, misery, pain, suffering, Man's inhumanity to Man, cruelty, atrocities, wars, economic ills, unhappiness, mental anguish, insanity, & finally death & Hell hereafter, as punishment for violating God's laws & His rules which were made for our health & happiness!
         11. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND SCIENTIFIC REALITIES but still have to accept them just because the scientists say so & because they work & they can feel the effects of these forces as demonstrated in our daily lives.
         12. WE USE THE POWER OF ELECTRICITY IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES, EVEN THOUGH NO ONE REALLY UNDERSTANDS IT--not even the scientists! They only know its laws, its actions, its effects & have learned how to channel & conduct it to serve many useful purposes upon which we are dependent.
         13. EVEN SO, WE MUST ACCEPT THE VERY EXISTENCE OF GOD, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW WHERE HE CAME FROM or Who made Him, if anyone, or how He got here or where He came from. We simply know He DOES exist & He is here, ever-present, all-knowing & all-powerful--omnipresent, omniscient & omnipotent.
         14. WE MUST RECOGNISE HIS SUPERIORITY & HIS AUTHORITY & THANK HIM FOR HIS POWER & His Creation that He has created & the rules which He has made by which it is governed.
         15. WE MUST ACCEPT & OBEY & USE THESE RULES & HIS POWER FOR OUR OWN BENEFIT & usefulness & life, love, health & happiness in everyday living just as you use electricity, even though you don't understand it fully or know where it came from or how it got here, & you may not even understand how it works. All you know is, IT WORKS!--You flip the switch & make the connection & IT WORKS. You make contact with the power of electricity & it does the work FOR you.
         16. JUST SO, YOU MUST LEARN TO MAKE PERSONAL CONTACT WITH THE POWER OF GOD & learn to let Him do the work of bringing you joy, health & happiness in everyday living & of being useful in your life & giving you faith & rest & comfort & peace instead of fear & restlessness & worry.
         17. YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO CONTACT HIS POWER THROUGH PRAYER, a spiritual seeking of contact with His Spirit through obedience to the laws of His Word, to listen to His voice. Just as you flip the switch of your radio & tune in to a certain frequency, so you must communicate with Him & let Him speak to you through His Word, both through the Bible & by the direct communication of prayer.
         18. LEARN HIS WILL & KNOW WHAT & HOW TO OBEY IN ORDER TO LET HIS LIGHT & POWER INTO THE ROOM OF YOUR LIFE to give you light & power & joy in living by doing many things for you which you cannot do for yourself, just as electricity does through the simple flip of a switch or the turning of a dial.
         19. We must avail ourselves of God just as we do the electricity which gives us light & power & fuel & fire & heat & communication & transportation & all these marvels of modern Man which we use in our daily living, even though most of us haven't the least idea of where it comes from or how it got here or who made it, & most of us still don't even understand how it works or the laws which govern it, & certainly none of us has ever SEEN it, only its EFFECTS.
         20. ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING DAILY IN THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT: GOD'S POWER IS CREATING & BLESSING YOUR DAILY LIFE & helping make easier the task of daily living, enlightening the rooms of your heart & mind, cooking the nourishment of your spiritual body, the food for your soul, & warming the hearthstones of your heart.
         21. OR THE DEVIL IS SHORT-CIRCUITING YOU, ELECTROCUTING YOU, SHOCKING YOU, BURNING YOU, TERRIFYING YOU, FRIGHTENING YOU, filling you full of his fearful cross circuits & contrary connections & opposing negative flows to upset you & irritate you, causing showers of flaming sparks & crackling static to ruin your communication & connection with God, confuse your mind, upset your heart & burn & destroy your body, the house in which you live!
         22. SO YOU MUST BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT POWER SOURCE & ARE CONNECTED TO IT PROPERLY, receiving the right amounts, the proper voltage at the proper amperage on the correct circuits, insulated by God's Truth against the dangerous groundings of the Devil's lies, in order that you might safely use such spiritual power for good.
         23. ALL WE HAVE TO KNOW IS TO HAVE FAITH IN THE POWER SO THAT WE'RE WILLING TO MAKE THE CONNECTION THAT LETS IT INTO OUR DAILY LIVES by RECEIVING it, by taking that definite STEP of FAITH in reaching out our HAND of FAITH & turning the SWITCH of DECISION which makes the contact & starts the flow of that power into our lives to light, guide, warm, feed, provide, protect, work for us & give us pleasure!
         24. ALL YOU HAVE TO KNOW IS IT'S HERE & THAT IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S HERE BECAUSE IT WORKS, & you can prove that it works by the simple little DECISION of SWITCHING ON to it & TRYING it to SEE that it works! You don't have to take my word for it or anybody else's. Try it! You'll LIKE it! Just flip the switch of decision by your own human will & let the light in & see how quickly the darkness flees!
         25. SEE HOW FAST IT CAN WARM YOUR HEART & NOURISH YOUR SOUL & MAKE LIFE EASIER, more pleasant, more entertaining, & even lift you to Heavenly heights of joy, bliss & the ecstasy of utter sheer unadulterated total happiness by the ecstatic elevators of the energies & orgasms of His electrifying Spirit on such trips as you have never known before!
         26. GOD'S POWER IS THE MIGHTIEST OF ALL, BEYOND ANYTHING YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE! TRY IT! YOU'LL LOVE IT!--Just be sure to read the instructions before you plug in your various appliances & flip their switches, so you don't get any shorted or overloaded circuits or cause any burnt-out wiring or dangerous wild fires! Read His Word & the writings of His Prophets as to the correct appliances for the power & its proper uses.
         27. BEGIN TO ENJOY YOURSELF & A LIFE FILLED WITH THE POWER OF GOD at every turning of the dials & connections of the switches of prayer & contact with the Source!
         28. HE'S LIKE A LOVER: YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HIS ENTIRE PAST HISTORY & his mental, psychological, physical, medical, historical, political & religious records. You don't even have to know his exact height, weight, measurements, metabolism or chemical constituency.
         29. WHAT ELSE MATTERS? HE BRINGS YOU LOVE, HE MAKES YOUR LIFE & GIVES YOU HAPPINESS & all you ever wanted & more! You don't know why, but just to look at Him turns you on! You can't explain why His touch electrifies you! You don't understand all the scientific workings of His lovemaking & why it makes you so happy. You just enjoy IT--& HIM--& you're HAPPY!--What else matters? How much more could you want than this?
         30. FORGET TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT! QUIT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT! STOP TRYING TO DIAGNOSE IT & TAKE IT ALL APART & ANALYSE IT! You're just making hard work out of all the fun! Just turn it on & enjoy it! FLIP OUT & have a BALL with Him! He's your ELECTRICITY! He's what TURNS YOU ON! He's what gives you such a CHARGE!--You don't care WHO He is or WHAT He is or WHERE He came from as long as He keeps LOVING you like this & makes you SO HAPPY & takes such good care of you!
         31. AS LONG AS IT WORKS THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS! As long as He makes you FEEL SO GOOD & STAY SO HAPPY, THAT'S what counts. Don't try to figure Him OUT.--Just let Him IN! TRY Him!--You'll LOVE Him! He WORKS!--And that's ALL you need to KNOW!
