Lesson 1: The Battle for the Body
In this introductory lesson we attempt to explain: “How/where herbology fits into a Biblical worldview wherein God is the Ultimate Healer.”
Lesson 2: Types of Healing
“Healing” means to cure or make whole. Healing can include relief from spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, and demonic conditions. It is not immunity from sickness. Our bodies are in the “process of decay” and open to Satanic attacks as long as we are in this world.
