The Great Health Deform… part 1

When health reform fails to be what it says on the paper…

 By Tarisai P Ziyambi

 Roman’s 2:24 “For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you…” 

Health Deform is the opposite of Health reform, our message is not limited to opposing the Prick or the Magic Bullet although we strongly do, the Health reformer is one who recognizes that “Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system”MH127.1. 

I am sorry but I fear to be neutral in a crisis especially a religious one, the mandate to take the Magic bullet is unethical and interferes with the fundamental right which grants every human being the dignity and respect to act according to the dictate of their conscience in matters of religion and personal health. I believe that everyone should be afforded the right to consent when it comes to their health unless they are incapacitated to do so. The socialist medical solution though effective in some sort it can be problematic when the giant institution has monopoly over all health care solutions, with this power the tyranny of the ruling elites can easily infect these primary entities in the garb of the common good agenda or The Great Reset. I don’t believe that the institution should be better protected than the civilians, I hate the slogan from Boris which stated that “Stay at home and save the NHS”, this institution has become more important than the health of the masses, it has sadly become the Achilles heel of the United Kingdom; one day it shall crumble to the horror of the nation because national apostasy is guaranteed to be followed by national ruin, ask Maduro of Venezuela or Zimbabwe ‘s national health system which had the great transition from glory to the dust. 

The Word of God is often referred to as sharper than the sword, we are told : “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” Hebrews 4:12. So we learn that the Word can pierce and cut asunder soul and spirit, joints and marrow; this describes to me a very dangerous weapon if placed in the hands of the unskilled. The prophet Daniel when he received Revelations regarding the future of the Church and he was to be given skill and understanding in order to narrate to us these divine revelations, we are told : “;Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding” Daniel 9:21-22. 

Our need as soldiers of God is not only obeying His orders but to do the work of service skillfully with understanding, I believe that hit and run evangelism can be dangerous, we leave the unskilled with a dangerous weapon like the Taliban with the American weapons. Maybe the analogy doesn’t relate as the Holy Spirit is the teacher but my point is that we should not be satisfied with lazy evangelism, nowhere did I read in the Bible that the scrolls were to be thrown in the streets with hope that one person may read and understand, we are to preach and teach the Word… men revealing God to men. Our existence as Christians is for the purpose of evangelism, to fear God in our lives and also to give Him glory in the sight of humanity or the work of spreading the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ and His power to deliver us from evil to the path of His righteousness. 

The problem we have as the Church is the lack of skill in handling the weapon that has been given to us by our Commander in Chief, some of us would send thunder to strike unbelievers just like proposed by the sons of thunder or use the sword to cut the ear of unbelievers like Peter. In Luke 9 verses 53-56 we are told: “And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them”. We also learn regarding Peter’s failure to understand the character of heaven ;we are told in Luke 22:49-51“When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him”(see also John 18:10). 

Recently on Facebook I was following the intense discussion on Pastor Ivor Myers’s page regarding the pestilence mandates and false prophecies. On his page last week he posted a powerful quotation that spoke against Health Deform as opposed to Health Reform. Allow me to share the quotation :” I have something to say in reference to extreme views of health reform. Health reform becomes health deform, a health destroyer, when it is carried to extremes…Do not go to extremes in regard to the health reform. Some of our people are very careless in regard to health reform. But because some are far behind, you must not, in order to be an example to them, be an extremist…God calls upon those for whom Christ died to take proper care of themselves, and set a right example to others. The Lord desires His people to be sound on every point in health reform, but we must not go to extremes…. Those who desire to be co-workers with God must consider carefully how they teach health reform in God’s great vineyard. They must move carefully in specifying just what food should and should not be eaten. The human messenger must unite with the divine Helper in presenting the message of mercy to the multitudes God would save…There are those who try to abstain from what is declared to be harmful. They fail to supply the system with proper nourishment, and as a consequence become weak and unable to work. Thus health reform is brought to disrepute. The work we have tried to build up solidly is confused with strange things that God has not required. The energies of the church are crippled. But God will interfere to prevent the results of these too-strenuous ideas. The gospel is to harmonize the sinful race. It is to bring the rich and the poor together at the feet of Jesus…. “CD chapter 11. 

We have to be intelligent in the manner we use in handling the sword, I know that at times I have been like the son of thunder in the manner I handled the Word, it’s not always what we say that brings conviction, hit and run missionary work is lifeless and waste of resources and time. I am trying to be kind in how I approach this subject and apologize if my opinion is offensive in any way. Years ago a couple I knew and admired in London were imprisoned after their child died because of rickets, they failed to consult the emergency services when their natural treatments failed. This was a very emotional experience for the church and for the couple, what really went wrong? In recent past I have also witnessed a health reformer battling with cancer and sadly died as a result, does this mean that health reform doesn’t work if the reformers themselves are subject to ailments of Egypt? They are extremes I have come across over the years, one reformer suggested that we should not drink water but carrot juice only, some have advocated a 100% raw lifestyle. The often used argument within the Adventist fellowship is that the Health reform is the right arm of the Third Angels message, what is true Health Reform as opposed to Health Deform? My argument is that enemas are good but to what extent? The key word is Temperance in all things. We are called to obey God’s plan for our health, this acronym means that firstly we need Godly Trust, Open air, Daily exercise, Sunshine, Plenty of Rest, Lots of water, Always Temperate and Nutrition. If these laws are broken, disease is the result, so you may reject the prick but always stressed out, obese and acidic, you may end up succumbing to the pestilence and its variants. To be continued…
