[00:00:03]What really shocked me is the way that you can medically follow what happens to a person when they have unresolved issues, okay? Think about it.

[00:00:12]Your blood pressure goes up.

[00:00:14]>> Uh-huh.

[00:00:17]Mhm.

[00:00:18]>> [clears throat] >> It affects your heart rate. Yes. It releases all kinds of things in your bloodstream.

[00:00:24]People get really, really sick because they live under stress, prolonged stress.

[00:00:30]You're just not made for that. You're not made for that.

[00:00:34]And when you live under that for a long, long time, you might be saying, "Jesus, I believe you for my healing." But you're shooting yourself in the foot.
