Health Reform Message

THE HEALTH MESSAGE

Many people are dying every day unnecessarily of cancer and other diseases. Why? Because they rely on drugs to deal with the disease, rather than God's natural healing method. And the problem is, the drugs actually suppress your body's reaction to the problem, rather than deal with the root cause. So it is not the cancer killing people every day. It is the drugs and lack of knowledge in true health! - Which is why the world urgently needs the health message!

Disease, whether it be cancer, heart disease or another of the big top disease killers in the world, is the leading cause of deaths all around the world. And why? Because people choose to ignore the health message that God's people have been giving for hundreds of years. The health message is a pretty simple, clear message that we are giving to the world. It is a message of reformation in our health and habits. A message that if heeded, will bring not only physical benefit - but spiritual also. But how? How can being healthy be beneficial to our spiritual life? Quite simple. We worship God and follow Jesus first and foremost in our minds. So everyone should know that if we are in poor health, then our minds are affected and we cannot give true devotion to God. Not only that, God's Word also tells us that we are not to defile our bodies, because we are the 'temple of God.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ...'Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.'

Romans 12:1 ...'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.'

1 Corinthians 10:31 ...'Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.'

So how should we treat this 'temple of God'? How should we 'present our body a living sacrifice' to God? By being as healthy as we can and by not eating the foods that God never intended for us to eat. Can we 'give glory to God' by eating cancer causing meats and disease causing processed foods and drinks? No. Health and temperance is a vital message the people need today.

DIET AND THE MIND

"Simply put, what you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain." (Harvard Health - source)

Many people do not make the link between our diet and the mind. We just tend to think that what we eat only affects our body, and yet there is much evidence that tells us not only is our stomach closely connected to the mind (link), but what we eat and do, affects our minds greatly. Take a look at the following prophecy:

Isaiah 7:14-15 ...'Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.'

Wow! Have you ever noticed this verse before? We are told that the diet of Christ when He became human like us, would help determine His growing and knowing how to refuse evil and do good. And where would He 'know' between evil and good? IN HIS MIND! So there is no doubt that diet and lifestyle is very much connected with how our mind operates. Now before you say, "great! I can drink milk and eat dairy!". The milk in Christ's day was pure and benefited the human body. The milk and dairy products we have today comes from DISEASED animals and is not fit for human consumption.

Christian experience and probably also as the result of former education and belief, he attempts to make his salvation more certain by the observance of certain rules and regulations (ceremonial laws) that are in reality not binding upon him. To him these regulations assume great importance. He regards them as absolutely binding upon him for salvation, and he is distressed and confused when he sees other Christians about him, especially those who seem to be more experienced, who do not share his assumptions.

In Corinthians the problem is identified in the practice of eating foods sacrificed to idols. According to the ancient practice, pagan priests carried on an extensive merchandise of the animal sacrifices offered to idols. Paul told the Corinthian believers, which were converts from both Judaism and Paganism that inasmuch as an idol was nothing, there was no wrong, so to speak, in eating foods dedicated to it. However, he explains, because there were some who were beginners in the faith and still fairly weak, and could not with a free conscience eat such foods, Paul urged those who were stronger in the faith not to place a stumbling block in a brother's way by indulging in those foods. And Probably for fear of offending in this matter some Christians abstained from flesh foods (Biblically clean meat) entirely, which means that their food was restricted to "herbs", that is, vegetables.

So what is meant by "all things"? All things that are sanctified (pronounced clean, as per Levitical laws) by the Word of God. Does the Word of God pronounce dogs, cats, pigs and wild beasts as clean to eat? No.

If people would only take the WHOLE of God's Word in context, they would see the clear truth of the matter. God is trying to draw men back to the original plan in the Garden of Eden. And He wants a people in the last days who are living according to that original plan. This is the message of the three angels of Revelation 14. A message of turning away from the world and Babylon's deceptions, and returning back to God. The messages point us to our Creator. And how were we made? We were made in the image of God. So should we act and live in the image of God. This is the health message. Please bring glory to God in all you do.
