I believe those types of things can cause illness.
I did notice something odd after I fell and broke my arm earlier this year. It was a nasty hard fall, so they had to do surgery very quickly and they replaced part of my shoulder with metal working parts.
Now it is against my good reasoning to take medications and I do my best not to take anything unless absolutely necessary, but I was told by my doctor to take pain medicine so I could move my arm for therapy. If I didn't, he thought I would not be able to stand the pain and would not work hard enough.
I did turn down taking Antibiotics but I went against my better judgement and took the pain meds and I did not improve. Matter of fact I felt sicker and weaker than before. I complained to the doctor that the meds were making me weaker and he disagreed and added different meds. I was worst than I started.
So I told the doctor that I normally do not take medications and that I really wanted to deal with any pain naturally and I promised to take my therapy very seriously.
So he took me off and I immediately started improving. My physical therapist was amazed.
I really think that for me...taking the pain meds was a sin and my body could not heal if I was in sin. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying taking meds is a sin for everyone, nor do I think God thinks it's a sin....just that it was in my heart for me to do it.
Wondered what you thought about that. Think it's possible?
