Sid: I have to tell you having studied healing for close to 30 years in the Bible, and it seems like every time I turn on a Christian television program I’m hearing about alternative medicine, I’m hearing about vitamins, I’m told the hottest shows that people have today are on vitamins and alternative medicines, I’m saying on Christian TV. Something is lopsided something is wrong. And I have on the telephone Dr. John Miller he’s a physician a Chiropractor from Tampa, Florida. On yesterday’s broadcast we were talking about the wisdom of God if you will in the Old Covenant telling us not to have certain types of food. And he was explaining exactly why because we certainly didn’t have medical science to reveal those truths, but the Bible understood that pork and shellfish and that made sense. And then I threw out to Dr. John Miller… but today with all of the pollutants in trying to get the chickens fat and all of the fertilizers I mean everything is unhealthy today John. So what’s the answer not to eat?
John: Well the answer is to take communion every day. We talked about the laws in the Old Testament and where God told you not to eat certain things, but when we go to the New Testament Jesus voided out all of the nutritional laws given in the Old Testament he said “Take not a thought of what you shall eat, eat whatever they put in front of you.” And his disciples were getting ready to eat without washing their hands and the Pharisees jumped on Him about that and Jesus made this statement. “It’s not what goes in a man that defiles him but that which comes out.” Now you have to tie this into the teaching of the prayer of faith in Mark 11:23 and 24 where Jesus said “Whatever comes out of your mouth and you believe in your heart you’ll have what you say.” Why did the Old Testament have nutritional laws and what’s stated in the New Testament void out those laws? Something happened between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Jesus went to Calvary, and God reached forward in time and space and took our sin and put in Jesus and made Him to be sin. Second Corinthians 5:21, “He who knew no sin was made to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” But at the same time at Calvary God took our sicknesses and diseases and placed in Jesus. Matthew 8:17 says “Himself took our infirmities and took our sicknesses.” At Calvary He was beaten 39 lashes. As He was being beaten God was making Him sick with our sicknesses. Isaiah 53, yeah 53 is the great Messianic chapter that tells what Jesus did in the atonement.
Sid: And do you know a friend of mine John wrote his PH D his doctorate Adonai Rapha which is God who heals, but He proved it was beyond God who heals he’s the God who restores everything. That’s what the word Rapha means, but in Isaiah 53 the ancient Rabbis’ before Jesus came they said that it was definitely talking about the Messiah, written 800 years before Jesus came and they called him the Leprous Messiah. Why because they saw these diseases on Him. Why? Because even before it was prejudice traditional Jewish people read the 53rd chapter of Isaiah they said that it has to do with the Messiah and we’re going to call him the Leprous Messiah because of all of these diseases. Go ahead John.
John: Yeah many of the Renaissance painters painted Jesus with leprosy and all kinds of diseases on Him. Verse 10 says in the King James “Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him He had put Him to grief.” Well you would know that that’s not what the Hebrew says at all. It says “He hath made Him to be sick.” At Calvary Jesus took our sins in Him and was made to be sin with our sin. At the same time He was made to be sick with our sicknesses. So this side of Calvary we had no nutritional laws in the Bible, I take that back there’s one nutritional law Paul told Timothy no longer drink water drink wine for your often infirmities.
Sid: Was that fermented, was that real wine or was that grape juice as we’re told?
John: Oh yeah when we go overseas Paul had Timothy out in missionary trips and if he drank the water then he could get dysentery we tell people today don’t drink the water. Drink the wine because it was fermented the germs were killed then.
Sid: Why is it taught grape juice by the church?
John: Because they don’t understand we’ll get into the teaching of the two elements of communion how one was fermented and one was not. But the thing that I want the people to see is that Jesus was made to be sick at Calvary with their sicknesses. So in the New Testament that’s why Jesus could say “Take not a thought what you’ll eat if we put our faith in what Jesus did. “By His strips we were healed.”
Sid: I hear what you’re saying John but is there a balance because our food is literally depleted of its vitamins and minerals. Shouldn’t we be taking a good multiple every day I mean I hate to be so practical but you’re a doctor you’re a specialist in nutrition as well as healing in the Bible. Where is the balance?
John: Okay here’s the bottom line, you live in a physical body and it needs… it has physical requirements. The food is depleted 30 years ago when I was in college they took carrots from certain markets and put them in labs and less than half of them had any vitamin A and carotene in them at that time.
Sid: Hm.
John: So you need to take a multiple vitamin mineral combination as food. See when you take something a specific vitamin for a specific disease then your faith is destroyed in the atonement because your mind cannot believe two things at once. The riskatillian logic says that the mind can only believe one set of facts. For instance, your mind can only believe 2+2=4. It can’t believe 2+2=4 and 2+2=5. If you’re looking at a piece of paper that’s totally green your mind can only believe that’s green it can’t believe that it’s green and red at the same time. Aristotle was the first one to postulate that theory that the mind can only believe one set of facts. If my mind believes that Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses and by His stripes I was healed it can’t believe that I have to eat a certain thing or I’m going to get arthritis.
Sid: Is that kind of like what James is talking about “That a double minded person is unstable in all of their ways?”
John: Absolutely. See we talked on a previous program that God is the creator of 2 sciences the science of the sphere where He spoke everything into existence its sphere law. But then the science of material, the elements that we have on earth and you take your multiple vitamin mineral as food and don’t look to anything for healing of the specific disease. Now the better you eat the less disease that’s going to come against you the less faith you’re going to have to put in the atonement to walk in divine health. The worst you eat the more diseases that come against you the more faith you’re going to have in the atonement to have to walk in divine health. And that’s the bottom line that you were looking for.
Sid: You know what I’m thinking as your sharing this I minister a lot in foreign countries in the Ukraine and Russia. I give the same message I give here in the States the anointing is the same anointing and I’m not exaggerating 2 – 300 people are instantly healed when I speak in Ukraine, and the same message is given in the United States where someone for a headache can pop an aspirin and rely on doctors and because we don’t have to rely on the word of God we don’t get the same results they get.
John: Absolutely. See there’s an old truth that says “Faith in God starts where faith in man stops.” As long as you have faith in that vitamin bottle then you’re not going to have faith in God. So we are conditioned. Right now there’s something that’s really robbing the church and that’s genetic profiling. You need to get tested genetically to see if you have this gene in you that’s going to cause Alzheimer’s or diabetes or whatever.
Sid: Boy can you picture how Satan is planting that into you?
John: Absolutely.
Sid: I mean that is as so diabolic it’s amazing.
John: See when I got born again I got a new Father that had no gene flaws!
Sid: Ha, I love it.
John: Yeah and when my mind gets renewed “Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you might prove that which is good acceptable and perfect will of God.” We’re told we have to eat a certain way to be healthy and live a certain way to live a long time. And the scripture says “Honor your mother and father and your days shall be long upon the face of the earth and things will be well with you for this is the first command with promise.” Now where are you going to put your faith in what God says or what science says?
Sid: And you know Mishpochah this is a scientist that’s speaking, this is a physician, this is an expert in alternative nutrition and vitamins and you hear what he’s saying. So why are you in the field?
John: I think God had to have me in the field so that I would be listened to.
Sid: Whoop our time is up we’ll start right here on tomorrow’s broadcast.
