Cancer

BRINGING THE BIG “C” WORD, CANCER, DOWN TO SIZE

The main emphasis of most fund raisers and promotional material directed towards cancer is “Let’s Find A Cure.”  Hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised towards a cure.  But still “no cure.”  Although the theme seems right to most, this presentation does not address the subject of which cancer.  There are many studies and opinions, but even with all the high-tech modalities (treatments) that attempt to “cure” cancer via chemotherapy and radiation, the average survival rate is five years although there are exceptions.

Cancer is not an accident! There is always a cause and effect with any sickness and disease.  It is a result of converging spiritual, psychological, and environmental mixes that contribute to an atmosphere conducive for cancer cells to thrive.  Cancer thrives in an acidic environment, but then fear, anxiety and stress contribute to acidity.  Is it possible that the alkaline environment could be achieved by taking our peace? 

Then there is the white corpuscle killer called Cortisol that is released like a leaky faucet in direct relationship to fear and stress.  Victimization and broken relationships also create an atmosphere of fear, dread, sadness, hopelessness, and despair (depression).  Despair is sometimes expressed at the cellular level as Malignancy (the quality or state of being).

It has been the observation of Henry Wright that there is a very high statistical connection between females who get breast cancer in the left breast and unresolved conflict between her and another female family member.  This observation also has shown breast cancer in the right breast can be because of unresolved conflict between her and a non-blood female relative; conflict with her mother-in-law is highly implicated.

There seems to be perhaps an overemphasis on nutrition as a cure or prevention.  Antioxidants and other food products are important as building blocks of cell maintenance but may times cell-mutation have nothing to do with what we eat.  Then there is the inherited iniquity/sin (genetic connection) tied to sickness and disease as it goes down the generation line.  We must see a critical dimension to give us insights beyond the protocol being offered by science and doctors.

Is it possible to prevent cancer?  Which type of cancer can we cure or prevent?  Let us look at the different kinds of cancer and talk about how cancer gets a foothold.

Cancer is not an accident!  We can also talk about genetic and environmental issues which contribute to abut 20 percent of cancers.  Henry Wright has been an enemy of cancer for more than 30 years and he has seen many people healed.  Even stage four terminal cancers that had metastasized.  Today these people are well today leading normal lives.

Cancer In Men and Women

The number one type of cancer that kills men is lung cancer.  The second leading cancer that kill men is prostate cancer, followed by colon and rectal cancer, pancreatic, liver, leukemia, esophageal, bladder, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and kidney cancer.

The number one type of cancer that kills women is also lung cancer, followed by breast, colon & rectum, pancreatic, ovary, leukemia, no-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, uterine, liver, and cancer that affect the brain & nervous system.  These statistics are from the American Cancer Society.

There are many people who talk about the cause of cancer, and most of their discussion have to do with obesity, lack of exercise, and smoking.  Surely, much of that has its bearing on health.  But we must bring forth a new concept involving caner, and it includs more than just physical wellness.  Be in Health Inc is dedicated to wholeness of spirit, soul, and body.  In their understanding of the Spiritual Roots of Disease, they have discovered the possible spiritual root issues behind more than 1,000 diseases affecting the mind, emotions, and body.

In the issue of cancer all three parts of our being need attention.  We need to talk about our spirituality, our personality, and of course our physiology. Is it possible that the body is a responder to our thoughts?

The Mind-Bosy Connection

The study of the mind-body connection is a well-known science.  The field of psychoneuroimmunology studies the effects of the mind over the central nervous system and the immune system.  One of the scriptures that come to mind is in the book of Isaiah.  It says that God’s people went into captivity because they had no knowledge, Isaiah 5:13 Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 

The prophet Hosea picks up the theme and says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  The second part of Hosea says that the knowledge God’s people had, they did not even use, Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

We are supposed to love God, His Word, and love our neighbors as ourselves, but does that mean we do it?

Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Jesus taught us the foundation of the law and prophets.  It is that we love God, love ourselves, and love our neighbor (everyone else).  This has to do with the understanding of the spirituality, pathology (science) and etiology (causes) of cancer and how we prevent it, cure it, and heal it.  It is very important to note that all sicknesses and diseases have a root cause and it can be found in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. It is called disobedience, which is sin. Unfortunately, we as believers go to doctors who only treat the symptoms.  Not the causes that lead to the symptoms.  Why are we going to doctors if they only treat the symptoms and we remain ill?

There are different types of tumors and they involve both cancerous and benign or non-cancerous tumors.  Both involved cell mitosis or rapid cell multiplication.  Cancer is invasive and it enlarges and destroys good tissue that is needed for your survival.  Cancer kills because it is invasive and it enlarges, destroys, and crowds out healthy cells.  It steals the life support needed by the body.

Cancer Coming Out of Conflict

Benign, or non-non-cancerous localized fibroid tumors are really coming from a person’s conflict with themselves from self-rejection.  When you find tumors that are cancerous, many times that comes out of conflict with others. Also, cancers that are invasive can metastasize and appear in other parts of the body.  These two have one thing in common and that is bitterness, which compromises the immune system as it pertains to white T cells.  In the Bible it is called dry bones.  Meaning, the bone marrow where white T cells are produced to fight immune diseases, Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit (bitterness, anger, unforgiveness) dries the bones (bone marrow).

If you are struggling with cancer, you have a compromised immune system. The macrophages and killer cells of your immune system do not recognize the antigen marker on the cancer cell identifying it as the enemy.  Not only is the immune system compromised, but the interleukin 1 and interleukin 2 are compromised which inhibits your macrophages (White T Cells) and killer cells from recognizing the antigen marker on the cancer cell. 

The Need to Identify the Enemy

God has created your immune system to identify any antigen markers.  Everything that comes into your body has a marker.  Your immune system is designed to recognize the enemy– viruses, bacteria, cancer, or whatever sickness and disease you are suffering with.  A person with a healthy immune system will not usually be prone to infections.  People that are prone to infections and viral attacks usually have a compromised immune system.  Cancer is not from God.  God is not trying to kill you. God is not trying to teach you a lesson by giving you cancer.

Satan is the one trying to kill you, John 10:7-10   Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.  All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.   Satan is our enemy and he has programmed us with sin to get cancer in 80 percent of all cases. God’s perfect will is not to heal you; His perfect will is that you do not get sick. 

Your immune system has been created with anti-oncogenes (tumor suppressors genes) which protect your cells and cause your immune system to recognize any invaders and destroy them.  Many things can tamper with or destroy them.  Many things can tamper with or destroy this part of your immune system, including radiation.  Contained within each one of your cells is a pair of anti-oncogenes.  If that pair is broken and you have only one anti-oncogene in your cell, then you are termed as vulnerable or susceptible to cancer.  If both anti-oncogenes are destroyed or mutated, your cell is totally compromised and totally vulnerable for mitosis (cell duplication) and tumor development.

For many years, science believed that viruses caused cancer.  Scientist changed their minds a few years ago and now they say viruses do not cause cancer, but they like to show up where body tissue is in trouble.  God did not create viruses.  They can be considered a genetic foreign life force.

Viruses have intelligence and can be activated by thought and emotions.  Emotional life conflicts can also trigger genetic defects in the chromosomes of a person that can be responsible for certain types of cancer developing.  What has been found in Be In Health ministry is that emotional and spiritual injury including conflict and bitterness, as well as a broken heart and loss of a love object can cause feelings of hopelessness and despair (depression) and trigger the destruction of the protective enzymes in cells.

Toxicity Healed by Forgiveness

There are internal influences that can produce toxicity within the body, but there are also external influences that that can produce toxicity such as smoking.  Smoking brings carcinogens that can destroy the anti-oncogenes, causing your cells to become compromised and there is nothing to protect your cells from developing cancer. In addition, each cigarette is a trauma/stressor to the body.  50 years of smoking two packs a day is 730,000 cigarettes.   When you smoke, we are not taking care of the body, the temple of the Holy Spirit.  Caring for ourselves spiritually and physically is taking care of the temple. 

Some toxins are manufactured from within the human body.  The Bible talks about the “poisoned by bitterness” in Acts 8:23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity (sin).

Time Magazine had an article that mentioned the connection between forgiveness and health; and unforgiveness, bitterness and the development of disease.  A bitter person will develop toxicity, and there will be a stiffening of the membrane of the cells that causes toxins to be retained.  This core of bitterness releases a very lethal chemical in the body.  When combined with the stiffening of the membrane, this build-up toxicity can be as lethal as any external chemical, including PCBs.  Science tells us this chemical in the body is cortisol which will be covered next

It would do well for you to be kind to yourself and others because it many be good for your health.  In other words, do not beat up on yourself and others, especially with what comes out of your mouth in the form of anger and bitterness, James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  Nobody is innocent of declared curses.

Immunity Damaged by Fear

Another factor surrounding cancer is damage to white blood cells which produce a compromised immune system.  Cortisol damage to interleukin 2 will not allow your white corpuscles to recognize the antigen marker on the invading tumor.  Cortisol is a very necessary chemical in soothing called the “fight or flight” response, but it is very damaging and can be lethal if it is released by the body like a dripping faucet.  This is called cortisol drip

If cortisol drip is occurring in the body, it produces cell death in the white corpuscles, the macrophages, and killer cells of your immune system. This creates a compromised immune system.  When that happens and interleukin 2 is destroyed by cortisol, then your immune system does not recognize cancer as an invader and cancer cells multiply.

Stress and anxiety, which is called fear in the bible, can release cortisol like a leaky faucet, and science tells us cortisol can destroy the immune system.  This type of fear comes about when a person does not feel loved, and they are unable to give and receive love themselves without fear.  This fear comes out of broken relationships, especially in the family.  If someone has not been kind to you or they abused you, this could cause you to have fear which leads to anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness.   Maybe you have experienced verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse family, spouses, or friends.  Or maybe you have fallen into drivenness, performance, and perfectionism to receive love.  That is a disease maker!  It may be that the only acceptance you ever had was if you did everything right.  This is a disease maker!

Many cancers are coming out of bitterness and rejection by others.  If you have taken the wrongs of another person into your mind, your soul, your personality, and your spirituality, it is a disease maker.  Why should you die because of the sins of another towards you?  That is not a good exchange.  Let them go so that you may live.  Henry Wright has seen stage four terminal cancer disappear when somebody just forgave another person of their trespasses.  What if you forgave another person, and God honored this and by His Spirit removed the cancer form your body?  Forgiveness of people must be done over and over until the things they did to you do not sting anymore. Every time the memory surfaces you forgive them out loud.

The Cure: Reconciliation and Change

The begging of all disease prevention and healing of cancer is to be reconciled to God your Father through Jesus Christ, reconcile to yourself.  This means whatever bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness you have against others, yourself, or an organization (church, political parties, employers, government, etc.) must be addressed.  Again, we do this by forgiving others, yourself organizations, each day as Satan brings it to your attention. Eventually, these issues will minimize. 

According to Scriptures you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are not a mistake, you are engraved upon the palms of His hands, your name is written down in heaven, and He calls you sons and daughters.  He has accepted you so you can love yourself.  In the area of reconciliation with others, God loves goofy, imperfect people.  The Lord did not come down from heaven to save sinless people.  God in His love sent His only begotten son because God loved us.  You must learn how to forgive others.  This does not mean you condone their sin, but rather, you understand that they do not know what they do.  The most imports intercessory prayer ever came from Jesus in Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”  Based on this scripture, we must understand that sin is a factor in people’s behavior and they do not know what they are doing, so we must forgive them.  It is not negotiable.

It is very discouraging to try to help someone and you end up losing them in the battle instead.  It comes down understanding that it really depends on them.  It is not on us or God.  We must be prepared to be changed.  If we can never say “I want to change,” then we will never change and we will continue to go to doctors and remain sick and diseased.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to allow us to be convicted and be able to change our spirituality and our personality.  Then our bodies physically, mentally, and emotionally will be responders to healing of cancer and any other sickness and disease.
