Nope. I refuse to agree with such statements. In fact, I haven’t said anything like that in 40 years. It’s not because I haven’t had opportunity, either. There’ve been times in years past when it seemed like my whole body was screaming at me about getting old and wearing out.
There were days when my back was talking to me about it...and my knees were talking about it...and my head was talking about it. But when they did, I didn’t just sit around listening to them. I talked back! I quoted those scriptures in Psalm 103: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's” (verses 2-5).
“Listen here, body!” I’d say. “I am not an old man! My youth is being renewed like the eagle’s. That’s one of my benefits as a son of God. What’s more, Genesis 6:3 says the days of man on the earth shall be 120 years, so I’m still in my prime!”
I’ve been saying those kinds of things every day for decades now. Why? Because I know that when I do, every cell of my body hears it. My bones hear it. My joints hear it. My eyes and even my hair hear it.
They respond, too, because I didn’t come up with those words myself. They came from my heavenly Father. They’re His words and His power is in them. He said them to me through the Bible and quickened them to me by His Spirit; and when I speak them, He backs them with His power and brings them to pass.
So there you have it. That, in a nutshell, is the most effective anti-aging secret anyone has ever discovered—and here’s the best part: It will do more than just keep you young. It will work on your finances. It will work on your circumstances. It will remove the effects of the curse that are listed in Deuteronomy 28 and cause THE BLESSING to manifest in every area of your life.
The Tree That Talked
“Well, I just don’t see how talking to things like bones and knees and money and circumstances can make any difference,” someone might say. “After all, it’s not like they can actually hear.”
According to Jesus they can.
