Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Have you considered God's goodness in giving you the body you have? In Psalm 139: 13-14, King David praises God for how he made him. He speaks of God forming his inward parts and knitting him together in his mother's womb. This image tells us that we are not an assortment of junk parts that God threw together. He lovingly, carefully, and patiently formed every part of our bodies. Our bodies are gifts to us, homes to occupy while we are here on the Earth. Many times, I have seen people try to motivate themselves to change their health habits by insulting their ...
Fruit for Food, Leaves for Medicine
If I had to give one piece of advice about eating, weight loss, and health, it would be this: "Fruit for food, leaves for medicine." Where does this prescription come from? It comes from Ezekiel 47:12: "Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.” Ezekiel 47 is a beautiful picture of the heavenly temple. In Ezekiel's vision, ...
Prayer that Releases Power
Do you wonder if your prayers mean anything? After all, you have prayed about a situation or a destructive health habit, but nothing seemed to change. Perhaps the reason is that your prayers lack power. But the good news is that you can turn the power on at any time. The secret is to follow a little known key that Jesus taught. In Mark 10:15, he says: "Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” What does it mean to be like a little child? Little children need to be ...
Resolutions? Try a New Years Resurrection
Do you know that most New Years resolutions made on January 1 are forgotten by January 17? Many people make New Years Resolutions when they should commit to a New Years Resurrection. You see, resolutions are just talk...there is no sacrifice involved. Talk is cheap, but action is expensive. It is going to cost you. Committing to a resurrection means that you know that to resurrect as a new person, then something has to die. Your old habits that got you overweight are going to have to die. And the enemy will make you feel like you are going to die when ...
Sugar Addiction: Breaking Free for Good
Do you have intense cravings for sugar that you difficulty controlling often? I'm going to cover seven spiritual and natural secrets for overcoming this addiction in this article. But first, let me give you some background. When you eat sugar, you raise two neurotransmitters in your brain: serotonin and beta-endorphin. Both of these neurotransmitters influence your mood and give you a sense of calm, well-being, comfort, and just generally make you feel good. This is why many people crave sugar when they are emotionally upset. However, your blood sugar levels spike too high when you eat sugar and your body has to ...

Eating to Burn Belly FatI read a shocking statistic the other day about belly fat.

This is personal for me because my grandmother died of a stroke when she was only 47 years old. And in my “before”... [Read more of this article]

The Water Cure
What is the difference between a plum and a prune? Water! A plum is firm, juicy and smooth. But take that same plum, remove its juice and it becomes a shriveled, dry, wrinkled up prune. A similar thing happens to you if you don’t drink enough water. Think about the difference between the young and the elderly. Many elderly people are dehydrated,... [Read more of this article]
