At the cross, Christ gave us two options. One is salvation and the other is healing. One road, salvation is much traveled while the other road is less traveled, which is healing. God wants everyone to be saved, but does God want everyone healed?

The road less traveled is a complicated one and is not taught or preached very often.

I remember when Jesus went to the pool of Silone. Many cripples were gathered, but He healed only one. I Remember that Paul lived a long time with some ailment he called a thorn in his side to keep him humble (2Cor 12:7).

Before we dive into the deep end…let me read what Google AI offered to this question…What are the arguments about healing in the Bible?

Arguments about healing in the Bible focus on whether physical healing is guaranteed in the atonement, the role of faith, and why some are not healed.

Key Arguments and Perspectives

• Healing in the Atonement: Some argue that, based on Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24 ("by his wounds you have been healed"), physical healing was purchased by Jesus on the cross, making it a current right for believers.
• Sovereign Will of God: Others argue that healing is not guaranteed in every instance in this life, suggesting that God sometimes uses illness for spiritual growth, testing, or to demonstrate his power through weakness, as in 2 Corinthians 12:8-10.
• Role of Faith: Many believe that healing requires or is triggered by strong faith, while others argue that Jesus often healed based on compassion, even when faith was lacking or in response to the unbelief of others.
• Significance of Miracles: Some argue that, while God still heals, miraculous healings were especially intended to confirm the authority of Jesus and his apostles in the early church.
• Provisional vs. Ultimate Healing: While some believe in complete physical health now, others focus on the promise that "all diseases will be healed" ultimately in the new earth (Revelation 21:4), making full healing a future hope rather than a current guarantee.

What kind of healing is important? Remember, these bodies will perish, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. But our spirits will endure and be resurrected in a glorified body we can't imagine. Pain, frustration, broken bodies - these are worldly things that are passing away.

I agree with your assessment of what the cross offers….Salvation and Healing. The question that remains in my humble opinion, is what does healing mean? Salvation means life after for those that have accepted the gift. But what does Healing mean? One would think it is for the “LIFE NOW” vs the “LIFE AFTER” which is what Salvation is for.

We know that we all die of one thing or another, car accident, etc., but most die of some physical ailment of some sort which is tied to aging or some genetic gene or not taking care of yourself or something they got from their work environment.

We also know that in heaven…there is no sickness, pain, ailments of any kind as we will all have new heavenly bodies that will prevail thru eternity. This knowledge gives us peace knowing that eventually…we will all be healed! But again, THAT HEALING is a LIFE AFTER DEATH event and not a “LIFE NOW” event.

Hence my redefinition of what IS healing and WHAT actually gets healed?

Most would define healing as a physical manifestation…but I believe the true definition of healing is directed to the HEART because our Heart needs to be healed from the burden of sin…and the heart must be healed to actually acknowledge, accept and surrender to the gift of salvation.

Today Mark will share a few prophetic scriptures that may be prophetically accurate and applicable today. The first is Jeremiah 49:35+ and the latter scripture is Ezekiel 39:1+.

But first, Mark will remind us of a news story that occurred on May 19, 2024, where one of Iran's Helicopter got lost in the fog and crashed into the mountains.

Prophecy of Elam: Jeremiah 49:35

“That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to break the bow of Elam, The finest of their might.

I will bring upon Elam the four winds From the four ends of heaven, And will scatter them to all these winds; And there will be no nation to which the outcasts of Elam will not go. So I will shatter Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives; and I will bring calamity upon them, even my fierce anger,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will send out the sword after them until I have consumed them.

Then I will set My throne in Elam and destroy out of it king and princes,’ declares the Lord. ‘but it will come about in the last days that I will restore the fortunes of Elam,’ ” declares the Lord.”

Thanks for joining us today as we discuss the FOURTH attempt to derail the government by assassination of leadership or intimidation of leadership.

Trump is the first President in history to have three, no four attempts on his life.

When asked "why you again"…Trump replied “Impactful people” are always the targets.

Talk about courage. Most people that have already been shot once, or after three other attempts, would have resigned their role and check out completely by now…vowing never to leave their house again…but not Trump.

He was willing to proceed with the dinner! I would argue there’s never been a more courageous, unwavering servant of this nation in our nations history.

My closest and dearest friend has suggested in the past that we use AI somehow in our podcast. Well today’s the day, brother. Here’s the question I asked of Google AI.

What are the top 3 reasons for TDS and the cultural decline in America ?

AI’s answer:

Commonly cited reasons for cultural decline and political phenomena like "TDS" (Trump Derangement Syndrome) in the United States often center on deep-seated societal shifts and intense polarization. Many observers point to the breakdown of shared identity and the rise of emotional, rather than ideological, conflict as primary drivers.

1. Intense Affective Polarization

Unlike traditional political disagreement over policy, "affective polarization" is driven by emotion and a visceral dislike of the opposing "out-group". This often results in "Manichean thinking," where the other side is viewed as an existential threat rather than a legitimate political opponent. For critics of the term TDS, this emotional intensity is a reaction to perceived threats to democratic norms; for proponents of the term, it represents an irrational obsession that prevents constructive discourse.

2. Fragmentation of the Media Ecosystem

The shift from a centralized media era to one dominated by algorithm-driven feeds has created "filter bubbles" and "echo chambers".

• Algorithmic Amplification: Platforms often prioritize "outrage" and polarizing content because it generates higher engagement, leading to a skewed perception of reality.
• Decline of Shared Facts: With the proliferation of partisan blogs and podcasts, Americans often lack a common set of facts, making it difficult to find middle ground on cultural or political issues.

I find it interesting that AI opted to leave out the misguided main stream fake news platforms and social media sycophants in that definition.

So maybe the battle shouldn’t be “hate orange man Trump” but hold social media greed, desire for sensational fake friends and likes to account. Stop listening to the lying fake news…and consider the truth.

It’s NOT Trump they hate. It’s their lack of power, influence and control they hate. Trump is simply the scapegoat.

It’s not the man….its his influence, his common sense policies and his courage to stand resolute against the lefts sick rhetoric.

At the core it’s jealousy, envy, greed and their fear of being exposed and left out that drives them to hate what MAGA stands for.

Today's left politicians and the left media propagandizers are the Pharisees of Jesus days. They fear loosing their significance, their influence and their control over others…so they stir the people to hate.

If we’re being honest the sickness, derangement and the vitriol of hate is from Satan. It should SDS.

Satan's Derangement Strategy!
