Walk It Off
Or, the Hezekiah Option
Preface
There’s a story in the Bible about King Hezekiah being healed by God.1
King Hezekiah was near death, suffering from a boil (probably a dangerous infection). He asked the Lord to remember his faithfulness, to heal him from this death sentence.
And the Lord said
I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. 2
But, unlike many of the other cases in the Bible where Jesus or God heals someone instantaneously, God told his prophet Isaiah to have Hezekiah
Bring a cake of figs. And let them take and lay it on the boil, that he may recover. 3
and King Hezekiah was healed, and lived out his allotted days in joy.
The lesson is, sometimes (maybe many times) we need to use natural means to heal; it may not always be immediate and dramatic as we wish. God is the Lord Who Heals You (Jehova-Rapha), 4 and he will heal you in any way that he pleases!
What this book is
Herein is the record to myself and any who find value, of my own application of figs to my physical body in a rejoined fight against cancer.
