==============================
I wanted to thank you for sharing this testimony of the Truth of the Word of God.
 
Just a few weeks ago, I had conversation with several believers on this very scripture.
 
We were talking about the blessing of His promises to us. Every single one of us had
 
stood on this same Word that you gave testimony about ....at one time or another.
 
People became very aware of this promise from God particularly when about 15 years or
 
so ago, when someone put poison in Tylenol capsules and put them back on the shelves.
 
That brought about warnings to check whatever we bought to eat or drink that it had not
 
been tampered with. But, of course , many others had lived by this and the other scriptures
 
years before that. People became more aware of praying for cleansing of food before they
 
ate. Since then we have noticed a rise in medical errors that have killed many and harmed
 
a lot of others. We, in these latter days, need to pray always , being wise to do, receiving
 
the Word with gladness.
 
We know that we drink poison into our bodies daily, via the skin (which absorbs many
 
things), thru the lungs as we inhale the polluted air we breathe, we drink into our bodies
 
also foods that have a myriad of chemicals as preservatives, colorings, fillers,etc.
 
We are just learning now about the preservatives in the immunizations for babies and
 
children, as well as the flu and pneumonia injections have had very unhealthy preservatives.
 
We know that autism may have had the immunizations as a causative factor.
 
We have now such horrendous diseases as the "flesh eating bacteria". These bacterium
 
destroy all living flesh they enter. They may enter thru the skin or thru the intestinal tract
 
and we have no warning when we are being "bitten" or when we are "drinking" these
 
into our bodies. If we tarry here, there will be a lot more of these diseases and we need
 
to be serious about God's Word. Also, this Word of God needs to be gotten to as many
 
as we can, so that those who do become believers during the tribulation time, will remember
 
this Word of God and have faith in it.
 
More recently we have seen people poisoned by "anthrax" and now we are told Bird Flu
 
is on the way. Not even to mention what nuclear war does to the body and biochemical
 
weapons of all sorts that are automatically "drunk" into the body.
 
All glory to God that His Word is true. It is yea! and amen! We can stand on it. We can
 
truly trust in and rely upon Him in this situation too.
 
Thanks for sharing with us.....to the glory of God.
