2 ITCH Patient has an uneasy sensation, which inclines him to scratch. Spiritually, it causes the afflicted to seek teachers who will tickle their ears. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 ITCH Patient has an uneasy sensation, which inclines him to scratch. Spiritually, it causes the afflicted to seek teachers who will tickle their ears. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

8 SUNDAY SICKNESS The cure is twofold: "Repent therefore and be converted." (Acts 3:19) And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. (Heb. 10:24-25)

10 INFARCTION Occlusion of an artery as a result of blockage resulting in a stroke or a heart attack. This area undergoes necrosis (death of tissue).
11
11 INFARCTION Spiritually, an infarction is a job, money, relatives, or anything else that blocks our service to God and results in our spiritual death. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (Matt. 13:22)
12
12 INFARCTION Spiritually, an infarction is a job, money, relatives, or anything else that blocks our service to God and results in our spiritual death. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. (Luke 8:14)
13
13 INFARCTION Spiritually, an infarction is a job, money, relatives, or anything else that blocks our service to God and results in our spiritual death. Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
14
14 INFARCTION Spiritually, an infarction is a job, money, relatives, or anything else that blocks our service to God and results in our spiritual death. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (1 Tim. 6:6-10)
15
15 INFARCTION Spiritually, an infarction is a job, money, relatives, or anything else that blocks our service to God and results in our spiritual death. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.
16
16 INFARCTION Spiritually, an infarction is a job, money, relatives, or anything else that blocks our service to God and results in our spiritual death. "And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." (Matt. 10:34-39)

19 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
20
20 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations") in the presence of Him whom he believed-- God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."
21
21 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

23 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification. (Rom. 4:16- 25)
24
24 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
25
25 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. (2 Cor. 5:5-10)
26
26 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith.
27
27 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give
28
28 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
29
29 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?
30
30 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. You see then
31
31 ANEURYSM A weakness in the wall of a blood vessel. Can become progressively weaker and rupture. Spiritually, an aneurysm is a weakening in one's faith. that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. (James 2:14-26)
32
32 ANEURYSM One who limits his exposure to God’s word will become weaker in faith and pull away from God. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"
33
33 ANEURYSM One who limits his exposure to God’s word will become weaker in faith and pull away from God. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Rom. 10:14-17)

35 CANCER Malignant tumors which are invasive and which tend to spread without treatment. Spiritually, all sin is invasive - cancerous - and tends to spread and will destroy us. Sin must be treated. Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. (James 5:19-20)
36
36 CANCER Impenitent sinners need to be quarantined. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? (1 Cor. 5:4-6)
