An Invitation to the Technologists to Join the Winning Side

The techno-prophecies of the past several decades predicting that technology would produce higher "life" forms through Artificial Intelligence have completely failed. And yet these prophecies continue today, with entities like the World Economic Forum predicting that the "Fourth Industrial" revolution is upon us, and the age of "Transhumanism." But the reality is that the technology is failing, not advancing. As we approach the end of the second month of 2023, 118,726 employees from Big Tech have already been laid off, following 161,061 layoffs in 2022, mostly in the second half of the year. The entire world economy is on the brink of collapse, and the banking industry is already bracing itself for bank runs, and the implementation of "bail ins" because there will be no "bail outs" this time, as happened in 2008. Techno-prophecies of a Technocratic New World Order run by robots and AI are pure insanity at this point, as the immediate future is going to be consumed with supply chain disruptions where it is going to be difficult to service the existing technology, as well as potential energy shortages and massive inflation. People are going to be more concerned about things like being able to fix their electric vehicles, or affording the electricity to power them, rather than worrying about robots and AI replacing them. And if a full blown kinetic war breaks out, the most pressing concern may be simply how to stay alive, and where to find one's next meal. There is almost nobody still alive in the U.S. today who went through WW II and the Great Depression, and even then, the war was "over there" in Europe, and the Pacific, and not in the heartland of the U.S. Massive cyber attacks, power grid failures, and supply chain disruptions could very well be in our not-too-distant future, or even worse. Look at what the people in Ohio near East Palestine are currently suffering through, and we still do not know the full scope of that disaster. Which side is more believable? The technocrats' side that keeps making techno-prophecies about how the technology is going to evolve and take over the world replacing human beings, or the side that has been written about in the Scriptures for over 2000 years, that the earth is going to be destroyed and that a new one is going to be created, ruled by Jesus Christ?

“Dataism” is the New Religion of AI and Transhumanism: Those Who Own and Control the Data Control Life

Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is one of the leading technocrats today who promotes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and makes techno-prophecies about the future, claiming that AI is advancing so rapidly, that we are the last generation of homo sapiens, because transhumans will soon replace us. Harari makes it clear that "dataism" is the new religion that fuels AI, and he claims: "We are probably one of the last generations of homo sapiens. Within a century or two earth will be dominated by entities that are more different from us than we are different from neanderthals or from chimpanzees. Because in the coming generations, we will learn how to engineer bodies and brains and minds. Now how exactly will the future masters of the planet look like? This will be decided by the people who own the data. Those who control the data control the future, not just of humanity, but the future of life itself, because data is the most important asset in the world." Yuval Noah Harari believes that one day we will be able to "hack humans", because he believes that the human mind is no different than a computer, and our thoughts are simply "biochemical algorithms." This is a religion, not science. It is based on a Darwinian biological view of life, which sees reality as simply the observations of the physical world, ignoring the human soul and spirit. In this new religion called "dataism," you must surrender your data to the network, whether you want to or not, because refusing to share all the personal data of your life is "a sin."

The Kingdom of God is not a Matter of Talk but of Power

In the New Testament section of the Bible, there are two letters written by the ambassador (apostle) Paul to a city in Greece, Corinth. As I wrote last week in regards to the first of these letters, the letter was written to believers in that city who were divided by factions, following their "heroes" who helped teach them about the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Paul found himself in the center of this controversy, and explained that the believers there were immature, because they did not understand the difference between "natural knowledge" and "Spiritual wisdom." Another point that Paul made, and which is the topic of this article, is that: "The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power." (1 Corinthians 4:20) The context in which Paul wrote this in chapter 4 in his first letter to the Corinthians, was addressing some people among the believers who were taunting Paul and were arrogant. Paul basically said that talk is cheap, and that he would find out what kind of "power" they had when he came to visit them. He wrote: "Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?" (1 Corinthians 4:18-21) A man identified as "Apollos" and who was a preacher and teacher in the New Testament faith, had visited the believers in Corinth, and apparently he was very gifted in oratory skills as an accomplished public speaker. But Paul made it very clear that when he had arrived in their city and began the work of teaching people about the Kingdom of God, that he did not rely on master oratory and debate skills, but on the power of God, usually demonstrated in healing people and the casting out of demons. He wrote: "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." (1 Corinthians 2:4-5) So what is this "power" that Paul was referring to?

Americans Abandoning Corporate Christianity and the Synagogues of Satan Called “Churches”

Fox News recently reported that a recent study examining the effects of COVID-19 lockdowns on church attendance in the U.S. has revealed that the pandemic "resulted in an overall depression of religious participation" as approximately a third of Americans have stopped attending religious services. They invited Franklin Graham, the president of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Association, on to their show to explain why this is happening. Graham stated that it was not enough to just identify with Christ, but one had to follow him and live for him. "I believe there is actually just a very small percent of Americans that actually live for Jesus Christ.  Are you living your life for Jesus Christ?" He then gave the late Queen Elizabeth as an example of someone who "lived for Christ." Really? These people at Fox News completely missed why Americans are abandoning the Christian Church.  So I put together my own investigative report to explain the real reason why many people are abandoning the Christian Church.

Spiritual Wisdom vs. Natural Knowledge – Why There is so Much Deception Today

"But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:14) Seek out Spiritual wisdom! No one knows you better than God, because he created you! King David wrote in Psalm 139: "O LORD, you have searched me and known me!" Have you ever stopped to consider what it means that “God searches” me? Why does he search me, and what does that mean?? Psalm 139 declares the wonderful truth that each one of us is specially created by God: "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." Think and meditate on that! Your “inward parts” were knitted together by God! So when he “searches us” as our Creator, he can see and find EVERYTHING there is about us, right down to the cellular level, or down to our DNA code, or even the specific atoms that are all strung together to make you who you are! So when a health problem comes your way, what is the first thing you do? Do you run first thing to the one who knows you the most intimately and actually searches you? Or do you automatically run to medical professionals who, while maybe having more knowledge than yourself regarding medical matters, cannot even compare to the knowledge God has of you, because he can search you all the way down to the smallest component of your physical being? And since God has this incredible knowledge of your physical, emotional, and spiritual makeup as your Creator, do you think he is interested in communicating to you what your problems are and what the solutions are?

Year 2023: Will America Fulfill Its Destiny? Jesus Christ is the Only “Transhuman” the World Has Ever Seen or Will Ever See

As the year 2022 comes to a close, there can be little doubt that the United States is a nation in decline, in many ways. More and more people are waking up to the fact that the U.S. Government is not looking out for the best interests of its citizens, and in fact is part of the Global plan to implement a New World Order. And a big part of that plan, is to reduce the world's population, something we saw accelerate in 2022 with unprecedented "unexplained sudden deaths" among young, healthy adults, as well as unprecedented fetal deaths. It is a shame that it took a worldwide scam known as "COVID-19" and then the roll out of the COVID-19 "vaccines" to start waking people up to this fact, even though most are still asleep and trusting their government and corporate media, when there have been others that have been warning about this plan to implement a New World Order for many decades now, but written off by pop culture and the corporate media as "conspiracy theorists," a term first used by the CIA to refer to people who did not accept the Government narrative on the assassination of President Kennedy in the 1960s. The fact is, the evidence that the U.S. is part of a New World Order that follows Satan rather than God, has been right in front of our eyes since the founding of this nation, as many of our "founding fathers" were members of Freemasonry, and their images and symbols are everywhere in our culture, including "The Great Seal" of the United States, which is printed into our currency on the $1 bill. One of the Latin phrases at the bottom of that seal is "Novus ordo seclorum," which means "A New Order of the Ages." The Latin phrase at the top of that symbol is "Annuit cœptis," which means "He/She favors our undertakings." The common interpretation of that phrase has been that "God" is the one who is referenced here, by the eye inside the triangle. However, the all-seeing eye is historically used as a symbol referring to Satan, or evil, and not to God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. So since the beginning of the United States in 1776, which is also the same year that Adam Weishaupt founded the "Order of the Illuminati," a secret society which later merged with Freemasonry, it has been predicted that the United States would become part of a New World Order. Will the ultimate fulfillment of this prediction that the U.S. would become part of a New World Order worshiping Satan come to fruition in 2023?

The Birth of Jesus and The Satanic Jewish Conspiracy to Enslave Humanity

The western Christmas holiday is first and foremost a marketing bonanza to promote commercialism and retail sales, like most holidays. It is one of the religious holidays, designed to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Western commercialism presents it as a "family friendly" positive holiday, with family traditions practiced for gathering together and exchanging gifts. Hollywood has produced many "feel good" films over the years to be played at Christmas time, to promote the "Christmas spirit." It is also the time of year when Christmas music is played to contribute to this "Christmas spirit." Many Christians will celebrate by reading the biblical stories of Jesus' birth as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. If you are gathering together with family and loved ones during this season, and enjoying this holiday, consider yourself blessed. There is nothing I am writing here that is intended to steal your joy during this season. By all means, enjoy it, while you can. But the Christmas holiday season also brings much sadness, for there are many who are separated from family and loved ones, including the multitude of parents in the U.S. who have lost their children to the corrupt child welfare system that routinely kidnaps children from loving families, often through medical kidnapping. Others are separated from family because they stand for the Truth, and Jesus Christ, and have counted the cost of being a disciple of Jesus, which more often than not means losing the support of your biological family. So if you find yourself this Christmas alone and separated from family, take heart, and be encouraged, because even Jesus was eventually rejected by his family, and even considered "insane," because he spoke out against the tyrannical Jewish system of his day. Also, while the birth of Jesus brought great hope and joy for humanity as the long awaited Jewish Messiah, his birth also brought much pain, suffering, and even death for many. This is a story that is part of "Christmas" that most family gatherings will probably exclude from their Christmas traditions, and it is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew.

Who Do You Trust for Your Food? REAL Food is Created by God – Biotech Food is Polluted and Poisonous

As the techno-prophecies today are being proven to be mostly pure fantasy not based on anything real, and as we face the imminent collapse of our financial system drawing closer each day to the Great Reset, it is important that we learn from the mistakes these false beliefs that have propped up modern society have made, so that those who survive the difficult times we are now heading into, can begin to rebuild society on things that are true and lasting. And one of the most pressing needs is to decentralize food production, breaking our society's slavery to Big Food and their technology where just a handful of technocrats among the Billionaires and Bankers control most of the world's food today, food that is contaminated and poisonous. What I am going to cover in this article today are solutions to the problem of having so few people control most of the world's food, by first properly defining just what food is and where REAL food comes from, so we can break the monopolies of Big Food and their slavery over the world's population, and return to time-proven methods of food production that bring about health and food security. Most of this is information I have previously published over the past 20 years, but it is more important than ever to define real food, as we have entire generations now who have no clue as to where their food comes from, and how mass-produced biotech food affects our health.

Synagogue of Satan: Why It’s Time to Leave the Corporate Christian Church

I am going to state right up front here that this article is not for everyone. My target audience are those of you who no longer feel comfortable or welcome in your Christian Church due to all the things that have happened during the past 2 plus years since the Plandemic was unleashed, or to those of you who see the insanity around you and are searching for answers to understand everything, but know all too well that you will not find those answers in organized religion, including the Christian religion. This article is addressing the true disciples of Jesus Christ, or those who want to be his disciples. So if you want to know if you are a disciple of Jesus or not, please first read the article I published a couple of weeks ago: "How to Determine if you are a Disciple of Jesus Christ or Not." To those of you who are true disciples of Jesus Christ, and understand that it has cost you everything that this world values to follow Jesus on the narrow path, including family relationships, then this article is for you: It is time to leave the Christian Church, if you have not done so already. And while your Christian friends and family members will probably try to lay a guilt trip on you for doing so, you are in good company, because the disciples of Jesus Christ in the First Century, as recorded in the New Testament section of the Bible, did exactly the same thing.

How to Determine if you are a Disciple of Jesus Christ or Not

Do you know if you are a disciple of Jesus Christ or not? It is a question that is actually very easy to answer, as it is definitively answered in the Bible, by the recorded words of Jesus Christ himself. But first we need to define "disciple," because in modern Christianity today, most understand the term "disciple" to be synonymous with "Christian." If we use the text of the New Testament to define these words, however, it is very clear that "Christian" and "disciple" are not synonymous at all.

An Idolatrous Nation Celebrates “Freedom” Even Though They are Slaves to the Pharmaceutical Cult

Francis Scott Key penned the words to the song “The Star-Spangled Banner” in the 1800s that would go on to become the “National Anthem” of the United States, and it ends with the words: "The land of the free, and the home of the brave." I am not sure these words have ever been a true description of life in the United States, but today, here in 2022, those words should read: "The land of the slaves, and the home of the cowards." I never thought I would live to see the day where most Americans would willingly choose slavery over freedom, and then when their choices did not work out the way they thought, rather than own up to their mistake in making the wrong choice, blame the government instead, all the while raising their voices to claim “I’m a victim!” believing that somehow they are entitled to certain things from their slave masters. But that characterizes the United States of America today.

Are You on the Right Path in Life? There May Not be Much Time Left to Decide

We are living in unprecedented times, at least unprecedented during the lifetimes of every human being currently alive on planet earth today. World events are unfolding so fast right now, that very soon everyone will probably be faced with very few options to choose their path into the future. In the madness and insanity that dominates the world today, it is very easy to get lost in the daily pressures that surround us, and lose site of the most important things in life. We all make choices every day that have consequences which will shape our future. Many of the external circumstances that affect our decisions each day are out of our control. But our choices are not out of our control. The only thing in this world that you can control, is yourself. Too often we have heard from those carrying out the evil plans of the tyrants the words: "I have no choice. I'm just doing my job." But we always have a choice. And ultimately, it boils down to a choice between freedom, or slavery. Paradoxically, choosing freedom over slavery can lead to our physical death. But it is still your choice to either live as a slave, or die free. Therefore, the biggest question you need to address today is, are you ready to die? Are you prepared for where your path leads after your physical death? Because if you do not fear physical death, then nobody has control over you!

The Day Truth Became Illegal – from the Heart of a Prophet, a Prayer by Brian Shilhavy

I am trying something I have never done before. I am publishing one of my prayer dialogs I had with Jesus Christ recently. It took me a few days to complete, because I wanted certain parts to be real and authentic, and not fake. That opportunity presented itself to me recently when I published the story about baby Cyrus, which broke my heart. When I started MedicalKidnap.com in 2014, documenting pure horror stories of families who were losing their children to the Satanic system every day, it was almost more than I could bear. I did not leave my home for six months. I was afflicted with a terrible skin rash during that time, as I tried to cope with the reality of the evil around us, hidden to so many. I clearly remember the first day I left my home, and stopped at a Big Box store to use their ATM to withdraw some cash for shopping. I just stood there for several minutes watching all the people, especially the families who were shopping that day with their children, and thinking: "They have no idea how much danger they are in." Prayer and tears are what has kept me sane all these years. When we pray and pour out our heart before God, it is very important to then stop, and listen to what he has to say.  The words will come into your mind, and you should write them down, in a prayer journal. That's what I did here, and this is first time I have ever shared anything like this with the public. My desire and hope is that it will motivate you to do the same thing. Pour out your heart, and all your anger and frustrations to the one who can actually do something about it. And then just be still, and listen. You might be shocked at what you hear. He might want to change you, instead of the circumstances you are asking him to change. On this day, I was shocked. Thoughts came into my mind in reply, that I never even thought about before.

Healthy Traditions: 20 Years of Demonstrating God’s Faithfulness in Offering an Alternative to Commodity Food and Products

20 years ago this month, in March of 2002, Tropical Traditions was born in the United States as an ecommerce company selling Virgin Coconut Oil and other products imported from the Philippines. We were the first ones to bring a "Virgin Coconut Oil" edible oil into the U.S. market at the time, and people thought we were insane, because coconut oil had been demonized in the United States for decades, simply because it is the one edible oil that has the largest percentage of saturated fat, which until this day, the U.S. Government health agencies want you to believe is a dangerous fat that leads to heart disease. Instead, USDA dietary recommendations for edible oils promote polyunsaturated oils, derived mainly from corn and soybeans. I had been living in the Philippines for 4 years by that time, and living in a rural area on a mountain, I was observing first hand just how wrong this dietary oil advice was. The older generation in our community, all consumed freshly made coconut oil from their own coconuts, and they were far healthier than the younger generations who mainly consumed store-bought commodity foods and shunned coconut oil because of the teaching in the United Sates on saturated fats. I did my own research, and I found out that the scientific literature on the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil was contradictory to USDA dietary advice that demonized coconut oil. So we learned how to make it by hand from the older generation living in our community, and began using it as our own main dietary oil in our diet. The positive change in our own health was very noticeable, and as I dug deeper into the literature about dietary oils, I soon learned that U.S. dietary advice was highly political, and designed to protect the main subsidized cash crops in the United States, like corn and soybeans. The dietary oils extracted from corn and soybeans, commonly known as "vegetable oil" today, is the #1 dietary oil consumed in the United States, and yet the technology to extract oil from these crops has only been around since World War II, and these polyunsaturated oils were not part of the human food chain prior to that. I decided then that I would only consume dietary fats and oils that had been in the human food chain for thousands of years nourishing populations, and would stay clear of the modern edible oils that technology had produced and that were not traditionally part of the food chain. So Tropical Traditions was born in March of 2002, and today we have expanded our product line to more than just tropical foods imported from the Philippines. But our philosophy has not changed. We are all about "traditional" means of producing food, and today the company has been renamed to "Healthy Traditions." Little did I know back in 2002 that I was embarking on a journey that would lead me straight into the lion's den, where my enemies would try to destroy me. So as I document in this article these past 20 years, this is not only a testimony of one American company, it is also a testimony of God's faithfulness, and an example of what he can accomplish through his children when they take him at his word, and understand that our calling in this life is a life of persecution as we stand for the Truth. Persecution and suffering are the norm, and not the exception, for those who stand on the Truth.

Who You Allow to Define “Sickness” Determines if You Live in Slavery, or Freedom

In the mornings I listen to a "Christian Radio" station that plays uplifting and encouraging music to start my day. I listen for the music, but invariably these "Christian" radio stations feel the need to also feature speakers, usually "pastors," who share short little stories or messages played between songs that are supposed to represent Biblical teaching. Yesterday, the following story was shared on this particular station (I could not find this story in written format anywhere, so I am recalling this from memory and it may not be 100% accurate.). "A young mother was recently diagnosed with advanced cancer. Her doctors gave her two choices. One, she could go to a place like Acapulco and live out her remaining few days in comfortable surroundings. Or alternatively, she could undergo chemotherapy which would extend her life by about 5 years, but she would live in constant agony and suffering during those 5 years from the effects of chemotherapy. The young mother made the tough decision to go through with chemotherapy so she could extend her life by 5 years, because she said that she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her children, so that if they needed her, she would be there for them." The reason that this story was broadcast on a Christian radio show, is obviously because in Christianity today, choosing to make sacrifices for the sake of your family is considered very noble, and because Christians have a very high regard of the medical system, and doctors, whom Christians are taught are to be obeyed. Her choice was obviously being broadcast to communicate that she chose the most moral, and noble option available to her, the "Christian" thing to do. Well I am here today to tell you that she made the wrong choice, and that her choice was neither moral, nor noble. First of all, given only those two options, the better choice would probably have been to pack up the whole family, put life on hold for a while, and head to a beautiful place like Acapulco in Mexico with warm, sunny days by the ocean. Being in such a relaxing and restful atmosphere with her loved ones might have literally cured her cancer without pharmaceutical products. But most of all, her choice was the wrong one because she chose to obey her doctors, and accept their diagnosis of her alleged "sickness" and their prescribed treatments, which only provided two options, as if there were no others available. Who is missing in this story? God. Did God diagnose this young mother as "sick" according to how the Bible defines "sickness"? Were her options really only the two options her doctors gave to her? How you view the definition of "sickness" and who you view as the authority in diagnosing someone as "sick," determines if you are living a life of slavery to medical "authorities," or you are living a life of freedom, where "sickness" has no power over you, because you do not fear it.

Does Your Family Believe You are “Out of Your Mind”? You’re in Good Company Because Jesus Faced the Same Thing with His Family

Does your family think you are "out of your mind" because you disagree with them on things like COVID-19 measures such as the wearing of masks, and taking COVID-19 vaccines? If you are being accused of being "out of your mind," please take comfort from the fact that people said the same thing about Jesus Christ when he walked this earth, including his own family who wanted to seize him, and stop him from his "insanity." From Mark Chapter 3: Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to seize him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you." "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."

What is Life?

Life. It is one of the most common words in the English language. It is something to "live," something to "spend," something that begins and ends, something that is evaluated as "good" or "bad," as "healthy" or "unhealthy." But how do we actually define it? Is it defined by our culture, or does it have an intrinsic meaning that transcends how the culture uses the word? How you understand or define "life" affects pretty much everything you do, and I doubt that very many people have actually spent time evaluating their understanding of "life," but passively just accept how the culture defines it. "Life" is closely associated with "truth," which means that the meaning of "life" is not dependent on people's opinions or understanding of what it is. It just is. It transcends even language, therefore it requires that we examine the language we use to describe and define life, and the closer we can come to its actual intrinsic meaning, the closer we come to understanding "truth."

Has Everyone Left You Because You are not Ashamed to Speak the Truth? Stay the Course!

You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me... At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Paul, from 2 Timothy)

Fact Check: “Christianity” and the Christian Religion is NOT Found in the Bible – The Person Jesus Christ Is

Over 11 years ago I published an article on the English word "Christian," explaining how I had stopped using that term to refer to myself, since it is a term with very many different meanings and understood in probably thousands of different ways. I wrote how the term "Christian" is only found 3 times in all of the New Testament writings, and it is never used by the believers and followers of Jesus Christ to refer to themselves in the New Testament. But as things unfold in the current Post-COVID culture, it is time to update that teaching and expand upon it, showing that the larger term of "Christianity" or the "Christian religion" is found nowhere in the Bible, and is actually a religious cult that is part of the Satanic world system, and that can be used to enslave the masses. So while 11 years ago I wrote: "Should believers of Jesus Christ today use the name “Christian” to describe themselves, even though the earliest disciples did not? There is probably no right or wrong answer to that question." I am not sure that is still true today, in the Post-COVID world, because the word "Christian" and "Christianity" is clearly associated today with being Pro-Pharma and Pro-Vaccine, and therefore Pro-Satan and his world system. COVID has revealed (NOT caused) the very deep corruption in the American Christian Church and its idolatry in serving the ruler of this world, as opposed to serving the current ruling King who sits on the throne in the Kingdom of God.

How Much Longer will the World Continue to Look to Medical Doctors to Save Them?

"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." (Psalms 23:1-4) These famous words penned by King David are known to many believers around the world, but how many of us actually believe them? My guess is very few, if any, actually believe these simple truths written in Psalm 23, and also expounded upon in so many other places in the Bible, that God is very capable of taking care of our needs, and that the entire needs of the human race were met by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and his resurrection from the dead. I would guess that most people who claim to believe in the words of Psalm 23 only believe in them when they are not "sick." If they are "sick," then the medical doctors are their "shepherd," and instead of the "rod and staff" of the Good Shepherd Jesus Christ, they look to the stethoscope and the rod of  Asclepius, or the Caduceus, the rod with the serpents intertwined around them, as the symbol and authority for their health.
