5. The Revelation of HEALTHand HEALING

As human beings we are awesome beings. You are created as Gods crown jewel of all creation. To enjoy health you need to realize that there are three dimensions to your existence. Spirit, Soul and Body. Very often a problem on one dimension is reflected and experienced in another.
On a Spiritual level it is important to be whole and healthy. This will release you from guilt, worry and fear. All which might lead to deadly toxins in you physical body and a tormenting state of mental health. Spiritual sickness is ultimately disobeying God. We call it the disease of sin and it can be devastating. It will block you from the divine flow of Gods power in your life. It is important to be made whole and healthy spiritually. It will also enable you to exude the healthy divine qualities of love, forgiveness, mercy and grace. The scriptures declares that the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, MERCY, FAITHFULNESS AND SELFCONTROL. These are all essential ingredients to maintaining and balancing perfect health on all levels of your existence. It is very often a case of our Spiritual ‘un-wellness’ that surfaces in our Souls(psychologically) OR our Bodies(physically).
To maintain optimal Spiritual wellness you must make time to be alone with God. Cultivate your relationship with Him. Do this through prayer and meditation and enjoying a healthy daily intake of the word of God. The most important commandment of SPIRITUAL HEALTH is to love God with your entire being and to love all people as you love yourself. Love is Gods miracle prescription for maintaining optimum Spiritual health.

The state of health of your Soul is experienced through the condition of your Thoughts, Emotions and Reasoning and Will. We also call this our mental state of well-being. There is a clear process that takes place in our minds. You think first, those thoughts lead to feelings , then you reason about what you have thought and the way you feel and the through your will you make a decision to follow a particular decision which leads to action. Therefore if you think healthy thoughts it will lead to healthy feelings which in-turn make you reason positively and through your will take healthy action. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. How you think about yourself is critically important to your mental and total well being. You must know and accept that you are a child of God Almighty. You are created in His image and likeness. You are perfect to Him. Align your self-image with His image of you. You are complete and whole to Him. You are a person of tremendous potential and ability. Your were born for the ultimate purpose of glorifying Him THROUGH BEING YOURSELF. Nothing is impossible for you. The scripture says, ’Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is pure, whatever is right, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praise worthy- think about such things. Apply this truth by thinking them of yourself first.

The Physical part of our existence is the most obvious and therefore the part people most concerned with. Your body is an amazing marvel. It was created to heal and regenerate itself if it is properly maintained. The reason some people do not take the necessary care of their bodies is because of erroneous beliefs about their bodies. Firstly you must understand that your body is your temple and that of the Spirit of God. It must be kept in optimum health to give you maximum enjoyment in life. Your body mainly needs only four essential items to maintain its best condition. Firstly you need a healthy Mental (THOUGHT)state of mind to maintain your physical state of well being. Secondly you need balanced Nutrition. Thirdly you need ample Exercise . Finally you need sufficient Rest. If you maintain a good balance of these elements you will enjoy good overall physical health.
There are four main abnormalities that threatens our physical health. They are disease, obesity , malnutrition and accidents. Disease are mainly caused by environmental , genetical or medical conditions.
Obesity is basically caused by over eating and malnutrition which lead to being over-weight. Leading nutritionist have now concluded that if they can get people that have a weight problem to think less about food and more about other healthy issues they can substantially reduce and manage a better body weight. Now that is literally food for thought! When you can imagine and focus your thoughts on the perfect weight you want to be instead of a diet, your body will conform to your thinking. If you struggle with weight loss it is not a matter of weighing less ,it is more a matter of eating right. If you over- eat and take in a lot of unhealthy nutrients you will be over-weight. Eat up to six small portions of healthy food daily and enjoy drinking a lot of water and fruit juices.
Malnutrition is caused by to little or not enough of the right nutrients our bodies may require.
Accidents are caused by unexpected physical act upon our bodies such as collisions, substance inducements or even operational malpractice.
All things are possible for those who believe. You might find yourself with a physical disease or sickness of some sorts but there is hope for you. There are many people who through putting their faith in God overcame whatever physical challenge they might have had. Some have not been healed in the physical way you might expect but despite of their physical challenges still overcame it and became extraordinary people and achievers in all walks of life. There are also countless miraculous testimonies of people healed of all kinds of sickness, disease and physical challenges. You too can be healed through your faith in God and following the process of believing. Your faith has made you whole.
