This is our capstone episode in our series on how to think better — although it might not be the last. We have talked about the necessity of realizing that there is such a thing as Truth. Today, we will talk about the necessity of aligning with, pursuing the Truth, even loving the TRUTH.

I have made some argument that I hope and expect that non-believers will understand. Of course, I use some words of Jesus. I don’t assume that everyone who listens is already a Christian believer. I do think they will understand, if they are just patient with my explanations aimed at those who don’t already know Biblical language.

This is really vitally important, but overlooked in the discussion of how to think better, and how to tell what is truth. And that discussion is often overlooked for students with learning disabilities. Look, what is true and false, what is good and bad is not some esoteric subject that only graduate philosophy students can grasp. It is just that they know how important it is, and have language as well as motivation. This is an important subject to all people — if they want to have successful, happy, good lives. So, let’s not overlook it. Let’s directly teach it, especially to students who maybe don’t get it as quickly simply because they are immersed in the tedious aspect of academics!

And surely, if children are not “getting it” then it is time to directly teach it.

Following up on the idea of healing being available. Here is a definite, obvious scripture from no less that Apostle Peter, repeated what we learned from Isaiah 53 and from Jesus quoting it. Now, after Jesus’ resurrection, Peter affirms that we have healing in Jesus’s finished work.

Finishing up our 3 part series on miraculous healing, we hear the history of “Blind Bartimeus” — or Blind Bart or today maybe Bart who used to be non-sighted. Well, Bart was once non-sighted, but now he sees. He heard that Jesus the Miracle Worker was coming to town. He positioned himself. Then he started calling out — loudly.

Look at the dynamics, because they are typical. He positioned himself and he started calling out, toward where he had heard Jesus was coming. People around him told him to stop. Typical!!!  But Jesus did hear him and called him. Then, the people around him changed their tune and were telling him to go.

He threw off his beggar’s cloak, the label that permitted him to get his beggar’s pittance. Jesus healed him. He walked away, seeing. This throwing off was a faith statement. Jesus said more than once to someone, “You faith has made you whole/well/saved.” (It is all the same word in Greek: sozo.)

Go thou and do likewise. Meaning: position yourself, call out, ignore contradictions, have faith, and walk away victorious. That is the way it works.

It might be easier to learn how to read, how to do algebra, and how to understand philosophy than to believe for sight if you have never seen. So, go for what you need. And by all means, throw off the label!

Today, I just read healing scriptures from the New Testament. Last episode, I read healing Scriptures from the Old Testament. Indeed, I start with the NT quoting Isaiah 53! (Don’t forget to get the product where I delve into the Hebrew of Isaiah 53! and I go on to Isa 54 — where our foundational scripture is found! )

Today, more healing scriptures, especially selected for people believing for overcoming learning problems. Scriptures about healing, yes, but also Scriptures themselves have a healing property because God’s Word does not go forth void.

There are so very many concocted stories in the church why not healing; so, how about just listening to the Scriptures itself? So many lies have been exposed in recent years: in government, in media, in schools. Lies are also in the church. Let’s forget about all that for the moment, and focus on The Word of God. It was the Word of God that created all things, that came among us, and it will be the Word of God, believed, that will heal us.

Enjoy.

And of course, email me your/your children’s  testimonies.
