A Paradigm Shift In Healthcare And In The Church

The Lord has given me a vision that I believe will help usher in a spiritual revival, bring health to our people and much needed financial resources to our churches. 

Up to 80% of the diseases we see every day in clinics and hospitals are preventable with the proper nutrition and diet. For instance, coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, and even cancers are closely related to these lifestyle choices.

Because of this, a paradigm shift in health care is happening as we speak. This paradigm shift occurs as we move from treatment based healthcare to preventive healthcare,  from pay for service to pay for performance medical services. Healthcare companies are now getting paid to keep patients healthy, and not just to treat them. This trend started and continues with the retired population under Medicare.

The Leon Medical Centers and many other similar companies have targeted the Medicare population with great success. These companies get paid a set amount per patient, or what is known as capitation, and they in turn need to make sure that the patients are happy with their services, and that they remain as healthy as possible. The healthier the patients are, the more money these companies make, a great win-win combination.  Medicare and these Medicare service companies actually pay for gym memberships for the elderly and would be willing to do more in the nutrition and exercise arena for the elderly since this would not only help the patients but it would also go directly to their bottom lines. A similar situation is now happening with the younger population.

As this shift is happening, new and great opportunities are presenting. The need for better nutrition and exercise keeps increasing since by tackling these issues we would be dealing with the root cause of approximately 80% of diseases, and decreasing health cost considerably, but this need is not being met by the market, as statistics and my personal experience show.

Patients want to get healthier but they just don’t have the know-how, time, or resources to do this.  Here is where churches have a great opportunity to step in.

To take advantage of these changes, a paradigm shift in the Church must occur, from viewing physical buildings as temples to viewing our physical bodies as the temples of God. This was one of the main teachings of Christ, one that has been sadly ignored in many parts of the Church today. But those churches that have renewed their minds with the gospel, now understand that the temples are not physical buildings but our bodies, and that we should have a zeal to protect and take care of our bodily temples, for they are the temples of the living God. The health of these temples should be one of the greatest concerns in the Church for health is not only spiritual, but mental and physical as well.

With this project, we will not only be taking care of the physical temples but we will be educating the people on how to take care and maintain our bodily temples healthy and vibrant. 

Unleashing The Church Of Christ Through Self-sustainable Places Of Worship

I just had the pleasure to see a vision I had in 2003 fulfilled before my very own eyes when I had the opportunity to become part of the “Temple Fitness” evangelization team with the Sosa brothers, Arthur and Alex. At our very 1st call, 10 souls gave their life to Christ, with billions more awaiting to become alive by the Gospel of Christ.  As I have been thanking God for making this vision come to pass, God gave me another vision, which I termed The Vision Of Self-Sustainable Places Of Worship. To see the importance of Dreams and Visions to advance God’s kingdom, check out this link: https://saynotopas.com/dreams-and-visions/

One of the ways many churches fall into the financial traps of this world system is by the need to build huge churches to house their growing congregations and the financial bondage that this brings with it. I believe that the Holy Spirit is speaking to His people to be free from this bondage by the renewal of our minds.  We are finally realizing that we are the temples, as the Temple Fitness team teaches, and that what we used to call “churches” are actually places of worship. The early church knew this very well because they would meet any where they could, from homes to catacombs due to the intense persecution they suffered for proclaiming The Way.  What made the church a church was not the physical building, but the people whom individually were temples of the living God, and collectively were building blocks of the church, the body of Christ.

The truth that in the New Testament the temples were no longer physical buildings but that our bodies were the temples was first introduced by Jesus himself when he said, “destroy this temple, and in three days, I will rebuild it.”  This truth was reiterated over and over by Paul and the other disciples, and it revolutionized the early church, allowing it to be “unleashed” from the physical constraints of this material world.

As our bother Jefferson Bethke, so well put it in his Holy Spirit inspired poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY “I mean if religion is so great, why has it started so many wars. Why does it build huge churches, but fails to feed the poor.” Somehow we have fallen into the trap that building the kingdom means building huge churches, but we have ignored or placed aside the most important command of all: “love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34). We have forgotten the true meaning of building the Kingdom of God.  Once again as our brother Jefferson Bethke reminds us: “Many churches today focus on how to acquire many, many members, which necessitates large buildings and might be viewed as a symbol of their success. However, taking care of and serving the poor within their communities may not be a pressing issue on their agendas, but it is important to Jesus. As said in Mark 10:21: Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Fortunately, there are some parts of the body of Christ who carry on this mission, “Two-thirds of all the hospitals in third world countries are Catholic hospitals. The second largest provider of social services in the state of Massachusetts is the Catholic Church.”

Not matter what, however, it is a practical matter of fact, that as a church grows, the building where we meet needs to grow with us as well. So what can we do?  The solution may be simpler than we think: Self-Sustainable Places Of Worship!

Imagine for a moment, a building or “place of worship” with huge LCD/LED screens playing Hillsong, Matthew West, Newsboys, Switchfoot and many other praise music songs while people are working out, taking care of their physical temples, while renewing their minds, feeding their souls, and praising God at the same time.  The youth, adults, and older adults inviting their peers to work out, but introducing them to Christ at the same time.  A Christian library on one side, a nutritional club on the other; an area for children to play and learn. Instead of buying a gym membership, these members use their funds to build the church, and evangelize the world, for with our unity and love for each other Jesus says that we will truly evangelize the world (John 17:20-23).  Come Wednesday night, Friday youth night, and Sundays, the easily movable exercise equipment gets replaced by movable, comfortable chairs, getting ready to worship God as the Body of Christ.  This creates an environment where God is truly worshiped in Spirit and in truths, were each person understands that we were made in the image of God, a triune nature composed of body, mind and soul, which in Christ has been completely restored and harmonized with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. See https://saynotopas.com/thoughts-about-gods-and-mans-perfect-harmony/.

Imagine, once again the church in America and the world, leading the way, being the element of change that has revolutionized the world, not only being at the forefront of spiritual health, but also of body and mind.  As the Dean of our Jackson Memorial Memorial/UM Family Medicine program, Dr. Schwartz, taught us and medical evidence shows, about 80% of all hospital admissions are preventable, and as the CDC reminds us, the top chronic diseases, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis—are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, and are all related to poor nutrition and lack of exercise.

Now imagine being free to fulfill God’s calling for our churches, being able to evangelize not only with words, but deed; being able to use the tithes and offerings to go out and give food and drink to the poor, welcome the strangers and homeless, cloth the naked, cure the sick, and visit those in prison for in doing these, we do them to Jesus himself, for he abides in us who believe and have received him.  I believe that this is how the church of Christ will be unleashed to evangelize the world, and thus herald the second coming of Jesus Christ to this world.

I believe that we are about to experience the greatest move of the Holy Spirit the world has ever seen.  This will be accomplished by apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers leading the way “to equip God’s people for the work of serving and building up the body of Christ until we all reach the unity of faith and knowledge of God’s Son.” To accomplish this move, the Holy Spirit is teaching us the truth, so we can worship God in Spirit and truth.  The Spirit is One and abides in those who have believed and have received Christ as their savior. The Spirit is the One that makes us One with God the Father and the Son, and the One that unites us, and makes us One, the One that allows us to see the importance of each human being, the One that prompts us to feed the poor, receive the homeless, help the unemployed, the sick, the suffering, the naked. The Holy Spirit is the glory that John 17:20-23 speaks about, and the only One that can unite the Body of Christ. Before Christ, He rested on people and places; after Christ, He abides in us, the temples of the living God.

The Truth is that it is not our love for God or for others which makes us righteous (this is the Law), but His love for us, i.e. His Grace, or unmerited favor. It is based on this TRUTH that we are then free to love one another. “Those who belong to Christ Jesus are no longer under God’s sentence. I am now controlled by the law of the Holy Spirit. That law gives me life because of what Christ Jesus has done. It has set me free from the law of sin that brings death” (Romans 8:1-2). “This is love [Jesus]: it is not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son as the sacrifice that deals with our sins” (1 John 4:10).

Once we understand God’s love for us, we no longer put physical limitations to where we gather to worship God. For this reason, I believe that from the get go, any church that wants to reach its full potential in Christ, should look into the concept of Self-Sustainable Places Of Worship.  I feel that it is my duty to pass this idea to the church, so it can test it, if it truly comes from God; and, I am confident that it comes from God.

Finally, I would like to end with a quote from one of my heroes, Albert Einstein, who said: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”  We can not expect to just continue to build physical buildings that sit there most of the time just idly occupying space, like most “churches” do, and expect a different result, which is to have the financial freedom to expand the Kingdom of God to all corners of Miami, and the rest of world.  The spiritual battle is intensifying and it will be fought city by city; each one of us must declare its city for Christ, and must DO our part to shine Christ’s light to our cities, and our world.

P.S. If you have not done so, please sign a petition I prepared to protect the Religious freedom of Floridians here: www.SayNoToPAS.com, or www.NewJudge.com. It is through this trial, that God has strengthened my character, and what has given me the boldness to write to you today.  As Jesus put it: “How blessed you are when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of vicious lies about you because you follow me! Rejoice, be glad, because your reward in heaven is great — they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way” (Matthew 5: 11-12).

How to finance the project? God already provided all we need. 

-Initially, my practice and others I plan to approach will provide for some of the initial equipment, for instance, exercise bands, light weight equipment, etc, afterwards, we will have partners to help do this

As this idea grows, we will be able to participate in very reliable yet inexpensive medical research. Some of the topic for research:
-The example of Chanca piedra: http://www.m.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-441/chanca+piedra/source-3
-The example of milk and increased risk of breast and prostate cancer.
-The connection between low vitamin D and hypertension, immune system, bone and articulation health, and many other conditions: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/vitamin-d-vital-role-in-your-health

And many other research opportunities with tools such are the ones we are developing: www.md-book.comhttp://lpr.md-book.com/

A prophesy coming to pass as we speak: “See, I will create new heavens and a new earth…Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed…For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people” (Isaiah 65: 17, 20, 22).

The church should not only be a place to go on Sundays and Wednesdays for worship and spiritual nourishing, but a place to go on a regular basis to help meet everyone’s physical, mental, and spiritual needs, our bodies, our minds, and our souls, a place where we become one heart and one soul as described in Acts 2 and 4.

The key to evangelization of the world is unity, and unity is being one heart and one soul in Christ. This can only be attained through Grace.

Acts 4:32-34.
And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them. And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales.

Acts 2: 42-47.
They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

Now, these believers didn’t have to sell their possessions but that is what was in their hearts to give, for each was giving as he had purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).  The principle is that once we receive God’s grace, or unconditional love, we can’t help but to love our neighbors, so if there are any needs among them, we feel compelled to do all in our power to meet these needs, for this is the only way that we can truly love God, for how can we say we love God whom we can’t see, if we don’t love our neighbor whom we see? (1 John 4:20), not only this but by this everyone will know that we are Jesus’ disciples, if you we love one another (John 13:35).

Ephesians 3: 8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.

Ephesians 6: 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.

The greater the evil and injustice we suffer for the love of others, the higher God is raising us up for his Glory in Christ Jesus, for what Satan meant for evil, God will use for good, if we persevere trusting in His love.

“…if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name”  (1 Peter 4:16).

Acts 2: 17  ‘In  the  last  days  it  will  be, God  declares,  that  I  will pour out  my Spirit  upon  all  flesh,  and  your  sons and  your daughters  shall  prophesy, and your  young  men  shall  see visions, and your  old  men  shall  dream  dreams. …29  “Fellow  Israelites,  I may  say  to  you confidently  of  our ancestor  David  that  he  both  died  and was buried,  and  his  tomb  is with  us to this  day.  30  Since  he  was  a prophet, he  knew  that  God had  sworn  with  an oath  to  him  that he  would  put  one  of his descendants  on  his  throne.  31 Foreseeing this,  David  spoke  of  the resurrection  of  the  Messiah,  saying, ‘He was  not  abandoned  to Hades,  nor did  his  flesh  experience corruption.’ 32 This  Jesus  God  raised  up,  and  of  that all  of  us are  witnesses. 33 Being therefore  exalted  at  the  right  hand  of God,  and  having received  from  the Father  the  promise  of  the Holy  Spirit, he  has poured  out  this  that  you  both see  and  hear. 34  For  David  did not ascend  into  the  heavens,  but  he himself says, ‘The  Lord  said to  my Lord, “Sit  at  my  right  hand, 35  until I make  your  enemies your  footstool.”’ 36 Therefore  let  the entire house  of Israel know with  certainty that  God  has made  him  both Lord  and  Messiah, this Jesus  whom you crucified.”

The  Lord  (God)  says  to  my  Lord  (the  Messiah),  Sit  at  My  right hand,  until  I  make  Your  adversaries  Your  footstool.  The  Lord will  send  forth  from  Zion  the  scepter  of  Your  strength;  rule,  then, in  the  midst  of  Your  foes.  Your  people  stand  ready  on  your  day  of battle.  “In  holy  grandeur,  from  the  dawn’s  womb,  fight!  Your youthful strength is like the dew itself” (Psalm 110:1-3).

“[And  He]  has  now  entered  into  heaven  and  is  at  the  right  hand  of God,  with  [all]  angels  and  authorities  and  powers  made subservient to Him” (1 Peter 3:22).

“In  this  [union  and  communion  with  Him]  love  is  brought  to completion  and  attains  perfection  with  us,  that  we  may  have confidence  for  the  day  of  judgment  [with  assurance  and boldness to  face  Him],  because  as  He  (Jesus)  is,  so  are  we  in this  world ” (1 John 4:17).

“For  whom  He  foreknew,  He  also  predestined  to  be  conformed to  the  image  of  His  Son ,  that  He  might  be  the  firstborn  among many brethren” (Romans 8:29).

“For  our  sake  he  made  him  to  be  sin  who  knew  no  sin,  so  that  in him  we  might  become  the  righteousness  of  God ”  (2  Corinthians 5:21).

Now, it is time for the manifestation of the children of God to occur for “The  whole creation  waits  breathless  with  anticipation  for  the revelation  of God’s sons and daughters” (Romans 8:19).

We must fight with confidence the evil of this world, until we put all of God’s enemies under Jesus’ footstool. Some of the areas of much evil that the Church needs to be involved are:

-to defend children and families from the tyranny of satanic agents, such as DCF:

-to protect the disintegration of the family fostered by a corrupt family court system:
