What does this mean? “‘Present Truth’ is A Time To Heal.”

Let us take a brief moment to answer this vital question, as it is one of infinite worth.
‘Knowing the time’ in our everyday lives is of very high importance, as most would agree. No matter what your lifestyle, your occupational status, your recreational activities, etc. we all need to know the time for one thing or the other. Often times, when we do not have the time or there is nothing around us showing the time, we tend to feel ‘lost’ or may become disorientated not knowing whether we’re coming or going. Without the time there wouldn’t be much we could be able to do, as life is built upon time, and time is built upon our life.

Time is a precious gift from GOD given to us, in fact, it could be seen as the most valuable out of every gift He gives to each and everyone of us, and is to be used wisely, as once time is lost, it is lost, it is cannot be found again, unlike most of other things in life, such as even money, which ‘comes and goes’. Money on the other hand, is also a gift from GOD, to be used for His glory and honor, however, this is not always so, as many waste it on choosing to live a selfish life for themselves, and not for GOD and others. These are but a few of the ‘Talents’, or, gifts, lent of GOD on to us which He then requires to be returned to Him, we read of the parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30.

What is ‘Present Truth’?
Present Truth is Truth which especially applies to the time of history in which we presently live. There are many Truths in the Bible, however, it is ‘Present Truth’, which we mostly need now. As we read and study the Bible, we can learn and understand that we are living in the end days, or, the ‘time of the end’, as spoken of Daniel 11:40, in particular. As from what we find therein, we see is in reality happening in the world all around us, this should make us believe even more so that the Word of GOD is Truth.

Biblical Examples of ‘Time’:

Ecc 3:1  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Rom 13:11  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Rom 13:12  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Isa 21:11  The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
Isa 21:12  The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

Ecclesiastes 3 – A Time For Everything

As is the name of this organization, ‘A Time To Heal’, taken from the above portion of Scripture, Ecclesiastes 3 (verse 3), there is “a time for everything.”

We are currently living within a time in which the LORD is healing or restoring, rebuilding and gathering His chosen people unto Himself here at the end of the world.

The Work, above all else, that GOD desires to do in and through His people, is the Work of restoring His image in man, whom has become distant and separate, because of our sinful choices, from GOD over the many generations of history.

As we are now at the end of the world, this proves that Jesus Christ is soon to return to this earth again, and He is only going to take with Himself to Heaven those whom reflect His pure, holy and perfect character, that is what He is waiting for and why He has not yet come. Though, soon and very soon, He will come and will not delay His coming any longer. Which is why it is Today, “Now (Today) is the day of Salvation” (2 Corinth 6:2), that we must be restored and healed that we may be ready to meet Him. And so, truly it can be said, Today is ‘A Time To Heal.’

 

 

 

 

A “healthy body equals a healthy mind”, most people know of this well-known quote, and it has accompanied to it a true signification, which will be addressed as we proceed further on in this article.

Although, the title of this reading seems to infer ‘one over the other’ – body over mind, the fact is, they both, mind and body, concordantly affect one another, as they are very closely connected. If one is affected, the other reacts to it, the body affects the mind, and the mind affects the body also. This subject matter, of the relationship between the mind and the body, is one of high importance, and I would also strongly suggest, should be studied and understood by us all.

THE MIND

Found within the Bible we read that the word ‘mind’ is synonymous with words such as ‘heart’ and ‘soul’. For example the following in the Gospel’s of Matthew, Mark and Luke:

MIND, HEART & SOUL

Mat 22:37  ^{( G1161 )} Jesus ^G2424  said ^G2036  unto him, ^G846  Thou shalt love ^G25  the Lord ^G2962  thy ^G4675  God ^G2316  with ^G1722  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  heart, ^G2588  and ^G2532  with ^G1722  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  soul, ^G5590  and ^G2532  with ^G1722  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  mind. ^G1271 

Mar 12:30  And ^G2532  thou shalt love ^G25  the Lord ^G2962  thy ^G4675  God ^G2316  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  heart, ^G2588  and ^G2532  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  soul, ^G5590  and ^G2532  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  mind, ^G1271  and ^G2532  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  strength: ^G2479  this ^G3778  is the first ^G4413  commandment. ^G1785

Luk 10:27  And ^G1161  he ^G3588  answering ^G611  said, ^G2036  Thou shalt love ^G25  the Lord ^G2962  thy ^G4675  God ^G2316  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  heart, ^G2588  and ^G2532  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  soul, ^G5590  and ^G2532  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  strength, ^G2479  and ^G2532  with ^G1537  all ^G3650  thy ^G4675  mind; ^G1271  and ^G2532  thy ^G4675  neighbour ^G4139  as ^G5613  thyself. ^G4572

G5590   (Strong’s)

ψυχή

psuchē

psoo-khay’

From G5594; breath, that is, (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew [H5315], [H7307] and [H2416]: – heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.

Based on the examples shown, words spoken by Christ Himself, we can see that when Jesus speaks to His disciples, teaching them how to keep the Commandments of GOD, they are instructed to love the LORD GOD with all the heart, mind, soul and strength. He repeats this instruction over and again, as their must be much importance to these words.

We can find the same words of Christ both in the Old Testament, Deuteronomy (please see below) as well as, the New Testament, in the Gospel’s of Matthew, Mark and Luke, as earlier mentioned.

Deu 4:29  But if from thence ^H4480 H8033  thou shalt seek ^{H1245  ( H853 )} the LORD ^H3068  thy God, ^H430  thou shalt find ^H4672  him, if ^H3588  thou seek ^H1875  him with all ^H3605  thy heart ^H3824  and with all ^H3605  thy soul. ^H5315

Deu 26:16  This ^H2088  day ^H3117  the LORD ^H3068  thy God ^H430  hath commanded ^H6680  thee to do ^{H6213  ( H853 )} these ^H428  statutes ^H2706  and judgments: ^H4941  thou shalt therefore keep ^H8104  and do ^H6213  them with all ^H3605  thine heart, ^H3824  and with all ^H3605  thy soul. ^H5315 

Deu 30:2  And shalt return ^H7725  unto ^H5704  the LORD ^H3068  thy God, ^H430  and shalt obey ^H8085  his voice ^H6963  according to all ^H3605  that ^H834  I ^H595  command ^H6680  thee this day, ^H3117  thou ^H859  and thy children, ^H1121  with all ^H3605  thine heart, ^H3824  and with all ^H3605  thy soul; ^H5315 

Deu 30:6  And the LORD ^H3068  thy God ^H430  will circumcise ^{H4135  ( H853 )} thine heart, ^H3824  and the heart ^H3824  of thy seed, ^H2233  to love ^{H157  ( H853 )} the LORD ^H3068  thy God ^H430  with all ^H3605  thine heart, ^H3824  and with all ^H3605  thy soul, ^H5315  that ^H4616  thou mayest live. ^H2416

Deu 30:10  If ^H3588  thou shalt hearken ^H8085  unto the voice ^H6963  of the LORD ^H3068  thy God, ^H430  to keep ^H8104  his commandments ^H4687  and his statutes ^H2708  which are written ^H3789  in this ^H2088  book ^H5612  of the law, ^H8451  and if ^H3588  thou turn ^H7725  unto ^H413  the LORD ^H3068  thy God ^H430  with all ^H3605  thine heart, ^H3824  and with all ^H3605  thy soul. ^H5315

THE BODY

Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD, kept His Father’s Commandments, He kept them all, always. Therefore, He does not teach others to do that which He knew they could not do, He knew from the beginning what will take place in the end. Christ only commands in love, not forcefully, He has lived a life of perfect example, showing to others that the Law of GOD can be obeyed. It is by faith in Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit we also can do the same.

If the body, which is the temple, or dwelling place, of the Holy Spirit (see 1 Corin 3:16, 17, 19; 2 Corin 6:16) is kept fit and healthy, then the Spirit of GOD can dwell within and give power to keep the whole being, mind, body and soul, in good health. This is but the result of living a life which is healthy, and will in turn be a blessing to all who follow GOD’S way.

May GOD Bless you.
