Living Up to 120 Years; Healthy and Strong!
By Alfred P. Licata Sr.
Is that possible? Yes! What’s the gimmick? None!
My child, listen to me and do as I say,
and you will have a long, good life. Proverbs 4:10
We have been sold on the fact (facts are not always based on truth) that we are doing well if we live between 70-80 years; and that is with sickness or disease included. What if I told you we have been short changed between 40-50 years of good life. Go into the home of the average elderly person today and you will find all kinds of medications that for many are draining all their money; for many even their food. How can that be in a day and age that brags of great breakthroughs in medicine? Billions of dollars are being spent on medications, ointments, supplements both natural and man made but people are getting sicker and sicker. There are new and more serious sicknesses and diseases being found daily. What is going on?
Did you know the number 3 reason for death in the U.S.A. is prescription drugs prescribed by our medical doctors that we are lead to believe are healers? So why are people getting sicker, in so much pain and suffering when our bodies were made to last 120 years without sickness and disease?
Who am I to tell this to you? I am not a doctor; I have no degrees but I have been experienced in being sick for 6 years and know how it feels to run from one doctor to another; both allopathic and naturopathic and some real quacks out of desperation. I lost my income, self esteem, and even trust of many close friends and associates who thought I just gave up. I too at one time thought that people who were sick were either not strong mentally or emotionally. It is true to a degree but I want to tell you something that could help you and me to live over 100 years of age with good health and strength.
Now here comes the Challenge!
My dad was a man who loved to joke and make people laugh. He used to ask, “Do you know what the problem with common sense is?” ANSWER; “It ain’t common!” He would say and laugh! (He was one of those people who worked all his life and could not wait to retire; then died in his 70’s but the last 15 years suffered with diabetes) The longer you live the more that statement seems true. That’s what makes it funny but sad at the same time. So here is the Challenging part.
When I was a younger man in my mid 20’s (now 61) I was up to my neck in financial trouble and I had an unexpected visit from a younger man who was not very successful in our society’s terms. I was in the material sense successful but stressed to the max. In a conversation he started to tell me about God and reading the bible. I was ok with that if that is what helped him even though I thought it was a crutch for the weak. Then he said something to me which completely changed my life. He said, “What you want to know is the truth!” Everything in my body pounded like an alarm going off saying Yes! Yes! That is exactly what I want to know. I had just come back from Las Vegas having lost around $200,000 trying to become the world’s greatest entertainer. (I will explain some other time). I was now in a place many find themselves in; trapped. I was married with one and a half children (wife pregnant), in a business I hated because I hated myself, burdened with a hefty mortgage, Car payments, etc. that at one time where easy to meet; but now with the recent loss I was falling deep behind in debt. In addition, the embarrassment of failure, in my eyes, I was stressed beyond any words will ever explain. So, the truth! Yes! What is this thing between birth and death we call life about, anyway, I thought? The truth? What is it? So I started to listen but then this young man started talking about Jesus Christ. I almost fell over backward in my executive chair and rushed him out of my office as fast as I could without being rude (in my mind; but maybe I had been rude?).
The God thing was ok but the Jesus thing I could not deal with at all! I don’t know to this day if that young man was an angel sent by God to plant a seed that has grown into a full garden of love, peace and joy that I never thought possible.
I am going to try to explain why that most of our doctors who do represent some of the greatest minds of our times, who are highly intelligent and greatly educated people who truly want to help us get better, can’t? They can’t heal us; only somewhat manage our sicknesses and diseases. In my opinion it is not that they don’t want to; they don’t know how to! They have not been taught how to heal; many will tell you at best they may be able to manage illnesses.
How could the best minds of this society during the Information Age, not know the real answers; The Truth? Well it’s simple, they don’t know because someone stole it from them! Stole what? The Truth! Did you know the average medical doctor lives about 20 years shorter than the average American does? So what does that tell you? Those who are dying younger than the average person are those who we are intrusting with our health?
I am not saying they are evil; well not most of them! I am simply saying they are not educated in the truth. They are educated by other men how to manage sickness and disease both mentally and physically. The very schools which are teaching them have been influenced by Drug companies who developed drugs and remedies that in many cases have worse side affects than the original problem. But more and more are getting sick? The Drug companies are getting wealthier, the Medical field is flourishing, and there is a shortage of Doctors and Nurses and all those who support them. Are the people running the schools evil? Well not most of them. Most of them don’t know the real Truth either! How could the greatest schools and universities of our time not know the truth? It has been slowly stripped away by an enemy that is so cunning and intelligent; that has been stealing the truth from our educational system for years. The truth has been replaced with knowledge that has replaced the truth. How? I am glad you asked!
Knowledge vs Wisdom
7 Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Proverbs 1:7
I have searched for the truth for over 34 years now; I know that is not a record, but for me, that has been a long time! I have found only one thing consistent; ok here it goes! The bible! Yes, for over 34 years I have lived and tested it to see if it is the truth, about life. The word bible means book of books. The bible is a book of books written by men; inspired by God. II Timothy 3:16 Oh boy, I can hear some of you even thinking now! Not another bible thumper, right winged, bigot, etc. another lie and twisted view of all those who believe in the bible as a book written to instruct us about the truth of life. I will have to admit there are many who do believe in the bible as God’s written words and they are as goofy as a $3 dollar Bill. And some as phony too! But because some people including myself at times are off it does not mean the bible is.
Still interested in living to 120 being strong and healthy?
If the bible is the truth (I know that it is, now) and has been inspired by God through people; it has the answers we are looking for to live a long and healthy life. You can read for yourself how some in the Old Testament were living for 100s of years in good health and strong.
The Bible is never wrong but the people who are trying to learn and understand it can and are at times. In fact the principles that God is trying to teach us work against those who do not believe and those who do believe but do not follow His instructions. Then we have to go to the words of the person the bible claims to be the word of God Himself in human form. In the words of Jesus Christ the Holy Anointed One of God, Quoted by John a disciple;
31Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 32And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Free from what? Lies for one; Lies about what? Sickness, disease and the length of life here on earth plus much more but for now let’s stay well and have a long healthy and strong life.
The beginning of wisdom
Oh boy we are getting closer now!
As we study the bible through the Spirit of God rather than our finite minds we find all the books fit together like a masterful puzzle. Do I understand it all? No! However I have lived and experienced enough to know that it works and the more I learn, understand and apply the better my life gets. Do I have to understand everything about electricity to put a light on or just turn on the switch? You can not read the bible with your intellect and get it; it needs to be read allowing your spirit to ingest it. (I will explain this later too).
In the book of Proverbs mostly written by Solomon the wisest and wealthiest man that ever lived, states that; “The beginning of Wisdom is the fear of God”. Not like horror type fear; but great respect, honor or reverence.
Psalm 111:10 Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever!
Who should you believe; the wisest and wealthiest man who ever lived or a group of people who are dying young?
I need to make one thing very clear; if I break a bone or have an accident I will run to the closest doctor as quick as anyone. If I am not feeling well and I want a diagnosis of what is going on in my body I will go to a doctor. However, before I listen to how I should manage my life I want to know the truth! Living like hell and expect the best: I don’t think so! Then go and get some drug to fix me up; again, I don’t think so! I want to know what made me sick then eliminate it, not medicate it, not dull it but get rid of it.
What does the bible tell us about sickness and disease??
If I have made you curious I would like to send you a free report on how you could possibly learn how to live a long and healthy life; it will open the doors to the truth and then lead you into the promises of God which said
3Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.” Gen. 6:3
Did you read that? It says that GOD said that our normal lifespan will be up to 120 years! The Free Report is titled FREE TO BE THE TRUE YOU! It will give you important info toward how we can live a long successful life with strength and health.
30A vast crowd brought to him people who were lame, blind, crippled, those who couldn’t speak, and many others. They laid them before Jesus, and he healed them all. 31The crowd was amazed! Those who hadn’t been able to speak were talking, the crippled were made well, the lame were walking, and the blind could see again! And they praised the God of Israel. Matt. 15:30-31
Did you read that? Even if you are sick now, you too could be healed and then live a long healthy life up to 120 years in good health and strength.

The Truth About Success!
The Truth About Success!
(The Lies We Have Been Told)
By Alfred P. Licata Sr.
How do you define success?
In the book written by Og Mandino “The Greatest Salesman in the World” He writes “Which two among a thousand Wise men can define success in the same manner? But failure can be defined only one way; by a persons inability to accomplish their goals in life whatever they may be”.
Read any book written by the gurus of success today and they will always teach we must start with a goal! That is true but what if that goal does not get you where you really want to go? What if at the end you find yourself empty or trapped by the very thing that you sought after? What if you spent many hours, years or worse a whole life time chasing after something to find it was a waste of life?
In the book written by Stephen Covey, “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People”, he writes that people could be climbing the Ladder of Success to find out that they are up against the wrong wall! What if you spent your entire life going after the wrong things and find out you were wrong?
Book after book in the Success Arena tell you; you must be willing to pay the price and so many have! What was the price? Broken marriages, families, relationships, mental breakdowns or physical break downs through sicknesses or diseases! In addition, they have addictions to alcohol, drugs, power, success, material things, etc. What a great reward! What a pay off! Trapped by the very thing we gave up so much for- Success!
Have you lost your identity in what you own, wear or do?
Do you know who you truly were supposed to be?
We are brought up in a society that teaches in school that those who get A’s are better than those who get B’s and C’s etc. In College the goal is 4.0 and so on! A Masters Degree is better than an Associates Degree, a Doctorate is better than a Masters, etc. The title of the job determines your success; the stuff you own shows your success! Says Who? How much money you have, the home you live in, the clothes you wear! We are told to dress for success! Who decided which clothes are successful clothes? Is it the people on Madison Ave who design or make clothing to sell you? What if we have the most expensive clothing, homes, cars, investments, cash flow, travel in what seems the upper class groups but inside we are in fear of being found out to be something different than our outward appearance?
Do I sound anti success? I am not! But what is success? Who really determines Success? Which wall should we be climbing? What’s at the top? What is the reward for paying the price? What if I end up like the greyhound dog that catches the electric rabbit? What if I find out that what I have been running after isn’t real; or did not give me the satisfaction that I was seeking?
Checking Our Motives Reveals What We Really Want and Why!
What is it you want? What is your underlying motivation for success?
Power
Security
Identity
Independence
Pride
Social Status
Freedom
Winning
Helping Others
Serving Others
Greed
Competing
Fear
Many times the very things that we deep down are trying to fulfill can not begin to satisfy us by success; because there might be a psychological or a spiritual need that achievement can’t fulfill.
People selling you their Programs on Success!
First of all, who are these people who you are following? People who have found success in accomplishing worthless goals? What did they accomplish over all? Are they healthy in body in the later years? How many marriages or relationship have they had, are their children successful (secure)? Are they at peace or are they stressed trying to climb the next mountain or worse are they totally stressed trying to maintain what they now have. Are they in fear of losing the very thing they were told was worth the price?
Come on let’s smarten up and see the truth! Most of the people who are selling success are selling it so they can become more successful financially at your expense.
Oops was I supposed to say that?
What if even those who truly are trying to help people are themselves deceived? What if I told you that you and many of them have been lied to? By whom you may ask? I am glad you asked! The Father of lies! Who??
Before I get too deep; let me remind you of a story told by Walt Disney called Pinocchio; Well not the whole story! If you ever saw the movie little Pinocchio was trying to please his father by going to school but on the way he ran into a Weasel and a Cat (I think, it’s been a while) that conned him into going with them and they sold him to a Circus because of his uniqueness as a live boy made of wood. Jiminy Cricket (his conscience/H.S.) helped him out of the jam. Pinocchio comes home and tells his dad that he is going to be a good boy and will go to school for sure this time but on the way again gets deceived and goes to pleasure Island instead! Everything a boy would want to do or have during those times was available to fulfill their pleasures! But what happened? The boys were turning into Jackasses! They no longer were able to be who they really were but instead were sold as Jackasses (slaves) to be used by their new owners.
Are you getting the message? We are being made into human jackasses by a masterful enemy so corrupt and deceitful that slowly but surely will steal your true identity. The real you! The true person that you want to be but might not know how or believe in anymore!
Peace = a piece of True Success!
What are we really looking for? Purpose! Learning who we truly are! Who am I really? Am I meant to be a businessperson, actor, entertainer, lawyer, doctor, janitor, teacher, pilot, baker, shoemaker, etc? What good is being something that eventually will make you sick in the later years or even now? If we put constant stress (fear) on our minds it will break into a sickness or a disease. (I will explain in more detail later if you do not already know this). That is part of becoming a jackass! Giving up years of your life for something that does not truly satisfy; is that really smart?
Security = a piece of True Success!
Many are chasing material gain to find security, only to find that getting there has a bigger price than they thought! Giving up their peace can make them sick but the security in things that can be taken away over night by a bad economy, a war; sickness, etc. are not true security. But what if you could find out who you are; and what you should be doing and finally became successful being the True You? Having confidence in who you are and being successful at being you brings a sense of security that no material things can replace.
Are you saying I can’t have lots of nice stuff?
No, not at all! What if I told you that when you have found out who you are and being successful being You could bring to you financial success, material things and peace too?
If your are a little interested in the answers to many of the questions above I would like to give you a 26 full page report that you will have to read slowly to see the lies and how we have been sold. It is titled; “Free to Be the True You!”
Why? What’s My Motive?
For the first time in my 60+ years of life I have personally found true peace. I have been financially successful, owned businesses, even taught others the same lies that I was sold on by others, traveled, owned boats, expensive cars and all the fixin’s but was totally not at peace. I thought that achieving goals would help me find that elusive peace. Oh yes, there were temporary highs related to achievements but there were losses by having to pay the price that cost me physically, relationally with my own family, friends, and associates.
This place of peace that I am at now enjoying is something my wife of over 40 years has had since she was 7 years old! I envied her for many years; it was the major things that drew me to her in marriage and the many young men who sought after her during our school years and after. The thing that made her stand out was peace, knowing who she was and was loving life; she still does! Everyone who met or knew her loved her because she loved them first. It took me over 40 years to find the same peace and rest; I can teach you in less than 40 minutes. If you are sincerely interested!
I believe that like me there are many who would like to know the truth! What this thing between life and death we call life is truly all about! What’s in it for me? The more I help others find the same thing; I get more of it! To watch others find freedom is a high that money can not buy!
