About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"ALZHEIMER'S, DON'T LET IT ROB YOU" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS ON THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. SO, DID YOU KNOW THAT NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AWARENESS AND CAREGIVER'S MONTH? PRESIDENT REAGAN DESIGNATED THIS MONTH BACK IN 1983. AT THAT TIME, FEWER THAN 2 MILLION AMERICANS HAD ALZHEIMER'S BUT AS OF THIS MONTH IT HAS SOARED TO OVER 5.4 MILLION. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DECIDED TO USE THIS MESSAGE TO BRING SOME AWARENESS TO THE DISEASE.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN DO TO HELP WARD OFF THIS DISEASE. A FEW OF THESE ARE EXERCISE, EATING A DIET RICH IN FRUITS AND VEGGIES, KEEP YOUR MIND ACTIVE BY LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY, GET PLENTY OF SLEEP AND CUT THE STRESS OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
THE TWO OF THE ABOVE THAT I LIKE THE MOST ARE LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY AND KEEPING STRESS OUT OF YOUR LIFE. LET'S LOOK AT THE FIRST ONE, LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. WHAT BETTER THINGS YOU CAN LEARN ARE BIBLE VERSES. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE LONG ONES BUT MEMORIZE THEM AND SAY THEM EVERY DAY. THOSE THINGS I PUT ON MY TIMELINE EVERY MORNING, "SOMETHING TO CLAIM FOR YOURSELF EVERY DAY", HOW ABOUT MEMORIZING THEM. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO CLAIM AND EXERCISING YOUR MIND AT THE SAME TIME. ALL OF THOSE ARE SCRIPTURAL BASED AND WORDS ARE POWERFUL.
THE OTHER ONE IS KEEPING STRESS OUT OF YOUR LIFE. WELL THIS SHOULD BE A BREEZE FOR US ALL. WE HAVE SCRIPTURES TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. NEED A FEW? LET'S LOOK AT WHAT JESUS TELLS US IN JOHN 14:27 WHERE HE SAYS "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." NOW LET'S LOOK WHAT HE TELLS US IN MATTHEW 11:28-30 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
ANOTHER GOOD IDEA IS TO KEEP YOUR MEMORIES ALIVE. GET TOGETHER WITH RELATIVES AND FRIENDS AND BRING BACK OLD MEMORIES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE OLD TO START THIS. KEEP YOUR MIND ACTIVE TO HELP TO WARD OFF THE DISEASE.
LET ME LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. DON'T LET ALZHEIMER'S ROB YOU OF THOSE LAST WONDERFUL YEARS OF YOUR LIFE. THIS IS JUST A TOOL THAT SATAN WILL USE SO DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT. ALWAYS REMEMBER, JESUS IS YOUR MAIN DEFENSE. IF YOU FEEL THREATENED, CAST THE ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE OUT OF YOUR LIFE IN THE NAME OF JESUS. YOU HAVE THE POWER SO USE IT.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
WELL SAID WAYNE. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. I KNOW IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE BUT IF WE STAY IN GOD'S WORD AND CONTINUALLY SEEK HIM, IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER.
THANK YOU WAYNE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND REMARKS AND GOD BLESS YOU.
DAVID
ALZHEIMER'S - Such a terrible disease. There are others as well. Well your correct David Christ healed the leapers, and raised the dead and restored many people as it is written in the gospels.
"CAST THE ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE OUT OF YOUR LIFE IN THE NAME OF JESUS"
May be easier said than done for the sick but your faith can do things that seem impossible. Where two are gathered there I am too .. Christ
Pray for each other. And worship Christ and praise him even in pain, even in sorrow. Even in torment. For greater is he that is in you than in the world. Remember Christ told the Roman solider he had not seen more faith in all of Israel. Believe and it shall be done. Amen
