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 ...
Turn on the Light
Imagine for a moment that you transport a person from the year 1010 to today. You walk over to a light switch and turn on the lights. What would be their reaction? Shock, amazement, fear? They'd probably think you performed a miracle. I heard a sermon in which the pastor preached about how Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes to feed 5,000 men. He said we view it as a miracle when in fact Jesus was simply operating a spiritual law God has already put in place for our provision. Spiritual laws work just as surely as natural laws. Just as we have ...
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 ...
Words of Comfort During Economic Crisis
The mood was different in church last Sunday. Normally, the pastor's wife gets up to greet new visitors with a loud "Good morning, good morning, good morning!" And the people usually respond with a loud "good morning" in return. But last Sunday, the response was much less enthusiastic than usual, and she commented that she felt in the spirit that people were drained and dry. And later, the pastor said that he also knew that people were worried and fearful about the economic crisis. He said he knew some people were even having trouble sleeping. I saw on the news yesterday that visits ...
