Regarding the Doctor's Strike
“I quit when medicine was placed under State control . . . Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating, devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I would not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. . . . Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of their victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn.” (Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged 1957)
Here is West Texas, the strike has already begun, even though the "State control" law will not go into effect until 2014. I have, personally, talked to a doctor that will no longer accept Medicare or Medicaid patients. Another has recently quit practice all together. My (ex) health insurance would not cover the medical clinic I use, because they would not agree to the small, maximum charges demanded. Both, and others. have told me there are many doctors considering the same possibilities.
Where do we go? What will we do?

The real healer has not gone on strike. Jesus healed us by his stripes. (Isaiah 53:5) When he healed us we were healed. That means we are healed. As the Acts Ministry International Prayer Pastor, we have seen miraculous healing via prayer.
The good news is that GOD IS STILL IN THE BUSINESS OF HEALING HIS CHILDREN.And HE is still watching our for his children in America. Maranatha, Lord Jesus.
God loves you and we love you, too

What an interesting time. Since January there
have been multiple, greater than 6.0, earthquakes all
over the world. Since January there have been multiple
volcanic eruptions in North America and the Pacific rim.
Today we are on day 45 of a 300,000 - 1,000,000 gallon
per day of oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico; killing fish,
oysters and reaching the water-lands of Louisiana. The
oil on the surface of the ocean and on the coastline is
red. It looks like blood. I wonder if John thought so,
too.
This last weekend, prior to hurricane season, we
had the first hurricane of the year that killed close to
100 people in Central America. In America, there have
been a great many killer tornadoes and floods
destroying cities and lives. In the last several days,
Israel and Turkey are squaring off. What is going on?
Is this simply a bad year?
Or, is it more than that? In the 24th and 25th
chapters of Matthew and the 21st chapter of Luke, Jesus
talks about the end of the age. Let me be clear. I do
not say that these are signs of the end. I am
considering them to be "birth pangs." Each year things
become more unstable. Each year countries and politics
become more unstable. Jesus liken this to birth pangs
coming harder and more often until the child is born.
We are not to set dates. I cannot set a date. I
believe any date set (12-21-12) will be wrong. However,
we can, and are urged to, know the times.
What do we do? How do we deal with these
times? If you are not a follower of Christ, you have no
hope. If you are not a Christian, today is the best day
you are going to have. If you have not given your life
to Christ, this is only a small taste of the horror you will
experience. If you want to become a Christian click on
"Doors to Christ" in the Main Menu on the right side of
this page. If you have questions, click on "More Info" in
the main menu, or the "Skype - call me" at the lower left
side of this page.
To Christians, I say this. "Fear not!" We now
need to focus on bringing as many as possible into the
Kingdom of God. There will be a time when we will no
longer be able to bring friends, family and neighbors
into the Kingdom. Whether an oncoming car, the
machine in the hospital room quits beeping or the
rapture, one second you will be in this world and can
talk ABOUT Jesus, and the next you will be talking TO
Jesus. All Christians will be raptured. Some by dying
and some by living until Christ returns. In John 9:4
(Amp) Jesus said, "We must work the works of Him who
sent me and be busy with His business while it is
daylight; for the night is coming when no (person) can
work." As Christians, we need to get to work.
Jesus also told us, "When these things BEGIN to
occur, look up and lift up your heads, because your
redemption (deliverance) is drawing near." (Luke 21:28)
Amp There is always good news. Get your Bible and
read the 21st chapter of Luke and the 24th chapter of
Matthew. Remember, nothing can separate Christians
from the love of God. He loves you and we love you,
too.
