The KEY Ingredient for Health Success

The fire was crackling as the stars twinkled overhead. One by one each retreat participant approached the flames and threw in a red stained paper containing their doubts, fears, unforgiveness, distrust…

Why did they do this?

What had they learned?

“God is working, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to keep us alive, to build up and restore us. When any part of the body sustains injury, a healing process is at once begun; nature’s agencies are set at work to restore soundness. But the power working through these agencies is the power of God.” (Ministry of Healing, p. 112).

When we understand that all life-giving power comes from Christ, then, when one recovers from disease we also understand, whatever modalities were used, it is God Who has been the Restorer.

To all who will cooperate with God and His plan of saving health He gives this promise, “My son, forget not My law; but let your heart keep My commandments; for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the tablet of your heart: So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to your body and marrow to your bones,” Proverbs 3:1-8. All who dedicate themselves to God and co-operate with Him, following His health plan can achieve their best health.

Our Chief Physician, Who is steadfast, faithful and true, promises, “If you will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statues, I will put none of the Egyptian diseases upon you, for I am the Lord that heals you,” Exodus 15:26. What diseases did the Egyptians die from? In exhuming the Egyptian mummies, it has been discovered the Egyptians died from lifestyle-related diseases; such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, etc.

When we follow God’s plan, we do not have to suffer the ravaging complications of lifestyle-related diseases. Through His grace and power, we will choose foods and activities that will help the body and not tear it down by overloading it with toxins and waste products.

God’s priority is for us to experience complete health. He says, “Above all else, I desire that you may prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers,” 3 John 2. When the Saviour walked this earth He “ministered to both the soul and the body. The Gospel which He taught was a message of spiritual life and of physical restoration. Deliverance from sin and the healing of disease were linked together.” (Ministry of Healing, p. 112). God is more interested in your whole being, even this earthly mortal body, than you can ever imagine.

In Genesis 1:26, God says, “Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.” While man has fallen from God’s original intention for man, God is desirous of restoring you and me to His original ideal; that is to look like Him (that is to have His image or countenance) and act like Him, (that is to have His love and character).

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities (rebellion, sin); Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,” Psalm 103:2-4.

When Christ healed those who were encumbered with disease, He warned many of the afflicted ones, ‘Sin no more, less a worse thing come upon you.’ John 5:14. Thus He taught that they had brought disease upon themselves by transgressing the laws of God, and that health could be preserved only through obedience by cooperating with His grace, strength and power.

If our first parents, Adam and Eve, had remained loyal and true to God we would never have known disease. Disease is the result of sin. But God has made provision for us, in our fallen state, to enjoy the best possible health. The Ten Essentials for Health™ or Laws of Health are just as essential as the Ten Commandment Law. It is only through obedience to both the moral and physical laws that health can be recovered and maintained.

Every practice that destroys physical, mental, or spiritual energies is sin. Health is secured through obedience to the laws that God has established for the good of all mankind. God says, “I set before you the way of life, and the way of death,” and He pleads, “choose life.” (Jeremiah 21:8; Deuteronomy 30:19). We have a choice when it comes to the quantity and quality of our life. King Solomon, in all his wisdom, said, “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life. To keep you for the evil one, from the flattery of the evil tongue… He is in the way of life that keeps instruction: but he that refuses reproof errs. In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. The way of life is above to the wise that he may depart from hell beneath.” (Proverbs 6:23-24; 10:17; 12:28; 15:24). “The way of God’s commandments is the way of life. God has established the laws of nature, but His laws are not arbitrary exactions. Every ‘Thou shalt not,’ whether in physical or in moral law, implies a promise. If we obey it, blessing will attend our steps. God never forces us to do right, but He seeks to save us from the evil and lead us to the good.” Ministry of Healing, p. 114.

Specific instructions for the preservation of health and life, were specified by God for both the physical and spiritual aspects of our lives. On the condition of obedience, He promised the Israelites, and the promise is for us as well, “The Lord will take away from you all sickness.” Therefore, He instructs us, “Set your hearts unto all the words that I have testified among you... [and] teach your children to observe to do all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life..[to] prolong your days… Attend to My words; incline your ear to My sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” Deuteronomy 7:15; 32:46-47; Proverbs 4:20-22.

God is the Chief Physician. He knows what is best for us, for He is our Creator. He has not kept His ways secret but has given us instructions to help us stay connected to Him, Who is our life (Colossians 3:4) and our health (Psalm 42:11; 43:5). We can have the abundant life (John 10:10) and prosperous heath (3 John 2) that God desires for us as we co-operate with Him.
