A TIME FOR HEALING. Remember that all healing is from God, whether it's through rest, sunshine, a healthy diet, the gift of healing hands, God-given skill of physicians or surgeons, or the miracles of prayer.  God uses, at least four "instruments" to heal us: His Word, the power that comes from praising Him, the encouragement of His people, and the gift of a godly self-image. Jesus said, Is it against the law to do good on the Sabbath day, or to do evil? To heal a man, or to try to kill a man, as you are doing? If any one of you owns a sheep, and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath-day, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? Is not a man worth more than a sheep? I say unto you that it is right to do good to men on the Sabbath day." And then, turning to the man, he said, " Stretch out your hand!" The man obeyed the word of Jesus, and held out his hand. At once it became strong and well, like his other hand. Many of the people were glad as they saw this; but the Pharisees, who hated Jesus, went out very angry; and they met together to find some plan for putting Jesus to death. All life on earth derives its sustenance from the sun. Solar rays that are emitted from the sun helps our bodies and plants to grow. So we can use the Sun to help cure us and to keep diseases and infections away. The Sun and Moon actually do have a powerful effect on a great many things here on earth. The shifting gravity created by the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides. Some have made the claim that the fertility cycle of women is also governed by the Moon. Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but the average female cycle takes about 29 days, the same amount of time it takes for the Moon to rotate once on it's axis and to complete one orbit around the Earth. The best time for healing is when the transiting Moon is in good relationship with your Sun sign. Research indicates that the New moon that God created is one of the best times for healing. And on the Sabbath day along with fasting. Fasting is one of the secrets of long life. Your body, and your digestive organs in particular, are required to work and work without any vacation. You know that you require rest from your work or your school from time to time. In the same way, your digestive system needs a rest from time to time. Periodic fasting provides the rest for your digestive system. It allows your digestive system to recuperate from the rough treatment that you may have given it by overeating or eating the wrong foods or eating at the wrong time. In addition fasting also provides an opportunity to eliminate many toxins from your body. After fasting, you should take some lemon water with a bit of salt. This drink helps to flush the digestive system, eliminating waste material that might otherwise remain in the body if you didn't fast. Fasting also helps you to keep a balanced mind inspite of the attraction of the moon on the fluids of your body. That is why our fasting system is timed in relation to the moon. The eleventh day after the new and full moons is the time when this attraction is very strong. If you fast during this period, then the emptiness of the stomach pulls down liquids that would otherwise rise up in your body under the attraction of the moon.
