Sid: My guest by way of telephone is Dr. John Miller he’s a Physician a Chiropractor from Tampa, Florida; an expert in alternative medicine, vitamins and herbs and the whole works. And he has found out that early church understood the atonement completely. Not the atonement of only the forgiveness of sin but the atonement of forgiving all of our sins and healing all of our diseases. He has spent the last 20 years of his life studying communion. As a result I’m going to have him teach on it this week as he has done all of last week and on Friday we’re going to take communion together and it’s going to change your life. Dr. Miller if you would start wherever you’d like to.
John: I would like to pick up with 1st Timothy chapter 4 which we talked about last time where Paul said “That some will give heed to seducing spirits in the last days having men abstain from certain meats which were to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” And we talked about you have to know the truth of God that Jesus took your infirmities and bore your sicknesses before you can eat just any creature because there were clean and unclean things. But the Lord goes on to say here that “All creatures of God are good and nothing to be refused if it’s received with thanksgiving for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” We talked about God being the creator of both sciences, the science of the spirit world and the science of the physical world. And we’re trying to believe God to get the point where we walk above the physical laws that we can walk above the ones that we talked about “Honoring your mother and father and you’re days shall be long upon the face of the earth and things will be well with you.” This is applying a spiritual law to your life which will override other things in the physical world that will come against your health. Now I want to go to 1st Timothy 6 the last 2 verses. Now this is the way Paul now he just gave Timothy that “All creatures of God are good and nothing to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving because it’s sanctified by the word.” Now that’s God’s spiritual sign; medical science will tell you just the opposite but listen to the last 2 verses “Oh Timothy keep that which is committed to thy trust.” In other words, “That which I taught you hang on to. Avoid profane and vain babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called which some professing have erred concerning the faith.” So Paul says that you will err in the faith. Remember faith is believing what God said; if you pay attention to the oppositions of science. The scriptures said “For we walk by faith and not by sight.” In other words we’re to walk by the spiritual laws not the physical laws. “For we look not at things that are seen but at things that are non-seen, but of things that are seen are temporal to things that are not seen are eternal.” Paul said this “I care to know nothing among you except and Him crucified.” I take that as my personal commission. When I go from church to church or audience to audience I care nothing among them accept Christ in Him crucified. Paul said that we’re a 3 part being a spirit, soul and body 1st Corinthians 3:23 “I pray that your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless until the coming of the Lord.” Now Jesus Christ did a complete work at Calvary; He did something at Calvary that will make you whole spiritually, make you healed in the soul and make you healed in the body. Isaiah 53:5 is the verse that sums up the entire atonement “He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities (transgressions and iniquities are sin bears your spiritual atonement) “the chastisement of our peace was upon Him.” (There’s your mental atonement; the mental atonement is for the soul; the theologians put mind, will and emotion as characterizing the soul) “And with His stripes we were healed.” So there’s the physical part of the atonement; you’re a 3 part being in Christ there’s a 3 part atonement. That’s why He could say “Be thou made whole.” You can be made whole spiritually, mentally and physically by what Jesus did at Calvary. And the Church has lost that message, thank God they still have the spiritual part. Most churches conventional churches teach that Jesus paid for your sins and by accepting Jesus as your Savior your sins are forgiven. But we supply Christian psychologists and psychiatrists, and we fret with the people at the altar, we supply hospitals and clinics and nutritional programs for the physical. And Jesus provided totally at Calvary for every area of our life. That’s why Paul could say “I care to know nothing among you accept Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” If you’re sick in the spirit, you’re sick in the mind, sick in the body Jesus Christ had the answer at Calvary. And you take advantage of it by the same method in all 3 areas. You take your sin to the foot of the cross and exchange it for Jesus’ righteousness. You have imputed righteousness you don’t stand before God in your own righteousness, but you stand before God in Jesus’ righteousness. He took your sins you take his righteousness. “The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.” Peter said “Casting all of your care over on the one that cares for you.” That’s why we can do it because at Calvary Jesus went through mental anguish. I have a machine in the office you put 2 little clips on the fingers and it measures the amount of electricity going in and going out. And the capillary beds as they change size when they alter the resistance to that electricity; this is the basis of a lie detector test. You cam hock that up on a person and pull their hair and the machine will buzz and the needle will go up. You can turn the machine very sensitive and you can ask them questions. If a man’s wife was named Alice and I said “What is your wife’s name and he said “Alice” and if the machine buzzed he told the truth but if he’s in a fight with Alice he’s going to have an emotional response to it. So even the capillary beds in the fingers change according to your emotional response. Well Jesus was the first one we record in history that sweated great drops of blood in the garden. That’s where He paid for the mental part of the atonement. In Isaiah 50 verse 6 it says “I gave My back to the smiters and my cheeks to them who pluck the hair out and I hid not my face from shame and spitting.” Jesus carried our shame everything that would come against us in the mental atonement Jesus carried at Calvary. He carried it much more than we could ever carry it. We’ve never sweated great drops of blood he did. Hebrews says that “He endured the cross for the glory that was put before Him despising the shame.” He didn’t want to take our shame but when He took our sin in Him He had to take the shame that goes along with it. And the reason He said “I hide not my face from shame and spitting” is because your face is the part of your anatomy that denotes your mental condition. If you see a businessman picked up on the 6:00 news arrested for a drug deal what does he do he hides his face from the camera.
Sid: Shame.
John: On the other hand if we have someone that walks in the room and he’s got his nose in the air we say “Boy he’s proud.” So your face reflects the mental. “The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.” In Isaiah 53 is the chapter in the Bible that gives most about the atonement it says “He was despised and rejected.” Well psychologists and psychiatrists tell us that we all suffer rejection so that’s nothing that other men don’t do, but look at the rejection of Jesus. Jesus created the world with His words; He created us for His pleasure and then we turned against Him. He left His heavenly home came to earth to restore us and was rejected by the people that He came to restore. It says “He was (In verse 7) He was oppressed.” Now the psychologist’s tell us we all suffer from some oppression and depression but the oppression that Jesus took was far greater than we could ever imagine. So He did something mentally so we could cast all of our cares over on Him. And you take advantage of it the same way that you do sin. The psychologists and psychiatrists want to probe you about everything that happened in your childhood that maybe affecting you. And this is contrary to scriptures Paul says “It’s a shame to speak of evil things done in secret.”
Sid: Hm.
John: You don’t talk about it; I’ve had psychology training in college; I am an ordained minister. It’s not my job to sit down with a person and bring out all of their episodes in their life that’s causing a mental condition. Just like we couldn’t have you name all of your sins. You say “Father forgive me for all of my sins” and they’re all forgiven. When you understand what Jesus did for you at Calvary you can take every care every worry.
Sid: Every fear.
John: Every fear to the cross and exchange it for the peace that passeth all understanding.
Sid: And your point of contact that God Himself ordained is communion. And on Friday’s broadcast Dr. John Miller and I are going to take communion and you take it with us and I believe that you’re going to find out that you will be healed not just in your emotions but any physical need that you have any spiritual need that you have.
