Do you sometimes feel like you’re hanging from a thread, that at any moment disaster could strike, that there are a million hazards out there and sooner or later one of them will get you? Are you afraid that genetic factors or exposure to carcinogens or the wrong diet is going to lead—inevitably—to cancer? Does every ache and pain cause fear? Do you figure that an accident of some sort, a breakdown, a heartbreak is just down the road?

It is not. Much bad does not have to be. We all die. There is redemptive suffering. But at most points in our lives all forms of the above can be prevented by closeness with the Lord.

He pervades all. There is no darkness in Him. Scripture tells us that. He is there for the intricate working of every cell in our bodies. And He can reverse damage and renew us both spiritually and physically. With Him there are blessings. Without Him, there’s entropy; things fall apart. We tend to think of Him as Someone Who created everything and then has let that Creation spin off on its own.

That’s not the way it is. The Lord is what vivifies us. He is throughout our beings. And He can affect anything in our systems—if we let Him (if we don’t think life is mechanical, like a clock). God is our power and it’s up to us to start thinking of Him that way. Begin seeing Him everywhere all the time, in the ordinary, in the extraordinary, and you now are under the control of a Being Who can reverse damage.

How’s that for hope! And it’s true: God is everywhere and does everything just as electricity powers all the motors in your home, without your seeing it.

Have you noticed how subtle most of His miracles are? He will slightly inflect light. He will cause a candle to drip in just such a way that it could be seen as an angel (could—always leaving room for faith, and doubt). He will cause bark on a tree to grow in a fashion that resembles the Face of His Son.

These are His little miracles, and they extend to our own physicality. His slight touch causes our cells and tissues and organs to go in the right direction.

We all age and we all grow ill and the body will eventually break down, but we do not have to speed up the process. We are not destined for cancer. We are not destined for Alzheimer’s. With faith, we are destined for the fullness of life. When the time comes when we need a doctor, we pray for God to come through the physician.

When God is on the scene—when He’s in control, instead of just the doctors—we are no longer at the mercy of guesswork. The Bible says the weapons of spiritual warfare are not carnal but mighty in God. Let Him into every part of you. Let Him take over. Let Him permeate every cell.

Life is not a roulette wheel for those who invoke Him with faith, and that means realizing that there is not a single illness or handicap that He can’t correct. There is nothing He can’t do. He created and can suspend the physical laws.
