I Cannot Save You - I Cannot Heal You

As a Christian, I know that I cannot save you.  Only Christ can do that.  I can, however, lead you to Christ where you can be saved. Most Christians see it this way and understand that they do not actually save people.  God Saves!

For me healing is the same way.  As good as a chiropractor as I might be, I cannot heal even the simplest of problems.  In fact, no doctor can heal or cure you. There has never been a doctor at any time in any place who has healed or cured anything.

Who heals you ask?  The answer is the same, God does.  You see, if I could heal, then I could walk into a funeral home, give a great adjustment to a corpse and the person would rise and walk again.

What is required for healing is the one thing that only God puts in you, Life itself.  So what do I, or any doctor for that matter do?  Well the best we can do is to remove obstructions from that God-given ability to heal, that everyone already possesses.

Each one of us can heal just as long as there is life in our body.  The human body is a wonderful creation of mechanisms that control every aspect of health and healing.  As a chiropractor, I remove interference to the nervous system that controls all function in the boy, thus allowing the body to heal. 

Even a surgeon, faced with a patient with a bullet wound, can only remove the bullet, the obstruction to healing.  Then it is up to the body’s own God-given ability to heal the wound caused by the surgeon.

People often underestimate the amazing ability God has built into our bodies to heal and be healthy. All too often we, as a society, turn to drugs and procedures that do not heal and in fact decrease health.  Fear, and lack of faith in our God-given healing power are often the reason that people turn outside first, instead of looking for a healing answer within.

For over 30 years I have been blessed to see what many may call miracles. People call them miracles because they did not expect the result.  I just call it another day in the office.  Maybe it is because I expect miracles.  I see life itself as a miracle.  My job is simply to remove interference from the God-given ability to heal, and watch the “miracles” unfold.
