  Medical Treatment, Right Living, and Prayer

健康勉言-第107章

  我看到当病人正在违犯健康律法之时，上帝没有更充分地应允祂仆人为他们所做的祷告，因为祂若如此行，并不能使祂得荣耀。我还看到上帝有意使健康改良运动及保健院作开路的工作，使信心的祈祷能得到充分的应允，信心与善行应当携手并进，救助我们之中的病苦者，使他们在今生能荣耀上帝，并在基督复临时可蒙拯救。保健院的管理人员若单从属世的立场工作，而不在保健之外加以奉养以色列中父母的福分和德行，以致让这些病人在发觉之时感到失望忧伤，这是断乎不可的。{CH247.1}[1]

健康勉言-第107章

  I saw that the reason why God did not hear the prayers of His servants for the sick among us more fully was that He could not be glorified in so doing while they were violating the laws of health. And I also saw that He designed the health reform and Health Institute to prepare the way for the prayer of faith to be fully answered. Faith and good works should go hand in hand in relieving the afflicted among us, and in fitting them to glorify God here and to be saved at the coming of Christ. God forbid that these afflicted ones should ever be disappointed and grieved in finding the managers of the Institute working only from a worldly standpoint, instead of adding to the hygienic practice the blessings and virtues of nursing fathers and mothers in Israel.{CH 247.1}[1]

健康勉言-第107章

  不要以为保健院是他们来藉信心的祷告得痊愈的地方。这个地方乃是藉着治疗及正确的生活习惯，解除人的病苦，并教导人如何避免疾病。现今在普天之下若有一个地方，让虔诚而有信心的男女献上安慰同情的祈祷，那就是保健院了。医疗人员在推进这项重要的工作时，应当坚心信靠上帝赐福于祂所惠然预备的方法。祂慈怜地招请我们这班人，要特别注意纯净的空气，清洁，健康的饮食，合宜的劳动及休息，与水之用法。他们不应在这项重要而严肃的工作之外有什么自私的利益。——《教会证言》卷一第561页(1865年).{CH247.2}[2]

健康勉言-第107章

  Let no one obtain the idea that the Institute is the place for them to come to be raised up by the prayer of faith. This is the place to find relief from disease by treatment and right habits of living, and to learn how to avoid sickness. But if there is one place under the heavens more than another where soothing, sympathizing prayer should be offered by men and women of devotion and faith, it is at such an institute. Those who treat the sick should move forward in their important work with strong reliance upon God for His blessing to attend the means which He has graciously provided, and to which He has in mercy called our attention as a people, such as pure air, cleanliness, healthful diet, proper periods of labor and repose, and the use of water. They should have no selfish interest outside of this important and solemn work.—Testimonies for the Church 1:561 (1865).{CH 247.2}[2]
