God's Health Laws: "Your Health and God's Natural System"
Overview!
You might be wondering why the subject of health laws is included in a
discussion about God. You may be surprised to learn that your
health is an important aspect of life, as you might guess, but
that health is ALSO intimately connected to God and His dealings
with mankind.
We oftentimes get stuck thinking that we are to just deal with "spiritual" things, and that "physical things" have little or no importance in the greater scheme of things. We are wrong if we hold to that belief. No, the kingdom of God is not food and drink, BUT YOUR HEALTH IS, and therefore, so is your
ability to serve God, family and your neighbor.
Sin the the transgression of law. (1 John 3:4). So, is it really a stretch to say that when we violate God's natural laws, that we are sinning in some form? If we take the definition of sin above as valid, then yes. Remember when Christ healed the cripple?
John 5:14 "Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." NKJV
Jesus here seems clearly to attach this man's "sins" with his crippling issue by telling him to "sin no more" or a worse thing could come upon him. We can't know what this man may have been engaged in to have crippled him. All we can know is it was related to sin in some manner. Today, breaking God's health laws is far easier and it can come from a host of sources, wittingly or unwittingly. Cause and effect. It is an absolute. The penalty for sin is death forever. The penalty for violating God's health laws can also be death of the body, but can also include physical pain and suffering until that ultimate end.
Satan is a genius at destruction... and "his" health, food and farming system is simply suicide on the installment plan. The fruits are obvious all around us, but we do have a choice in this process to drastically mitigate, and reverse many of the destructive behaviors we engage in on a daily basis.
God's health laws govern how the physical world we inhabit interacts with our human body.
Being healthy because we understand and work with God's health laws means we can be better servants
for Him. This definitely doesn't mean that if you are sick or have
some problem with your health or body, that you CAN'T have a
relationship with God. Far from it. What you need to see is HOW
the health of mankind has been affected by the same forces which
have perverted God's spiritual truth, and for the same reasons.
In every aspect of mankind's societies, there are
COUNTERFEITS that have been developed as a way of dealing with
life's issues, including counterfeits for God's health laws. There isn't an area anyone could name that
DOESN'T have a wrong twist to what is accepted as normal and
right. Health is no exception. What better way to defeat an enemy
than to weaken "his" health to the point that he is
less able to accomplish his life's goals?
Mankind has achieved incredible things in the area of science
and medicine over the years. We are able to deal with serious
health problems with amazing drugs and medical procedures. The medical profession is excellent at dealing with crisis management, such as accidents and injuries where immediate intervention is required. THAT should be its purpose, NOT "primary health Care" using drugs/medications as some sort of genuine answer to the cause of the problem. Ask yourself this... "Does THIS system of "health care"
seem like something God is responsible for?
America at one time had the best health of any other country
in the world. Today, America has the WORST health of any modern
nation in the world, yet WE HAVE THE MOST ADVANCED MEDICAL AND
DRUG-RELATED support system available on the planet. HOW CAN THIS
PARADOX EXIST? It doesn't make any sense at all. We are
fighting a LOSING battle, which means WE ARE DOING SOMETHING
WRONG.
In order to understand how God fits into this picture, you
need to have the background of all the rest of the material
available to you on the subject of God. Unless you understand
where this is building from, you may miss some vital keys.
We have seen how these two super beings actually created all
matter out of their very nature, which is spirit. They
"ordered" this system we know as "mother
nature" into a pattern of regulating laws, causes and
effects. We work with these "laws" on a regular basis.
Gravity, thermodynamics, the laws of motion, etc. We take them
for granted, but we are very mindful of them or we suffer for it. These same laws run COMPLETELY through all
physical matter and life. WHAT GOVERNS THE NATURAL WORLD ALSO
GOVERNS US, AS PHYSICAL BEINGS.
Our very life processes are established along very specific
patterns and are DESIGNED to function along specific parameters.
If we know what these parameters are, we will benefit, Where we
deviate from them, WE WILL SURELY PAY A PRICE just as sure as if
we climb to the top of the Empire State Building and jump off. If
we break these "LAWS" that govern our health, we WILL
suffer for it, sooner or later.
God designed and set into motion all that
we know as nature. The natural world functions almost like a
living thing. There is harmony and balance throughout the earth.
without it, we would not live very long. Because mankind has
powers no other life on earth has, WE CONCLUDE THAT WE ARE ABOVE
THE NATURAL WORLD, and therefore need to CONQUER it or FORCE it
to OUR EXPECTATIONS outside its intended uses and outside the protective forces the "laws" generate for us.
In doing this, we completely fail to see how WE are just as
much a part of the natural world as any animal on the earth. WE
are just as subject to the same laws, causes and effects as the
rest of the world is. So WHY DO WE ACT AS though WE AREN'T
CONNECTED? Because we have been deceived into traveling down a
wrong road that leads AWAY from the designed system into one that
has become a MANIPULATED system, based on a wrong theory of
evolution. By altering the natural system, whether
environmentally OR in the human body, we set up a course of
response BY the environment or in our human body that is a NATURAL
RESULT OF OUR OWN ACTIONS, whether good or bad.
It doesn't take a genius to see how these results are
already being felt by much of the planet. We continue to abuse
and neglect the natural system, and we continue to suffer for it.
Only until we come to see that WE are part of the natural system, health
will continue to suffer, and with it, mankind’s ability to
respond and grow in the Hands of God.
Because there is so much health MISINFORMATION and DISINFORMATION
out there, it is a confusing mess of ideas, beliefs, hopes,
"procedures" and other "answers" to our problems. This isn't to say that
there haven't been some good things done by modern medicine.
Many people's lives HAVE been helped, but we need to look at
HOW and WHY this has occurred.
The majority of modern medicine and drug therapy exists as a
means to CORRECT problems brought on by neglecting to comply with
the natural system and God's physical laws. The degenerative diseases ARE NOT a
mysterious occurrence that "HAPPENS" to people. There
is a cause, and the cause IS NOT A LACK OF DRUGS OR SURGICAL
PROCEDURES, anymore than a headache is an aspirin or Tylenol
deficiency. Our problem ISN'T that we need MORE DRUGS OR MORE
TECHNOLOGY.
Our system today is set up as a false god of sorts. If we become sick, we can go to this system to find the "forgiveness" we are seeking, but oftentimes, this ignores the true God and His natural system that has the original answers we seek. Of course, there can be some situations where people's health is hurt by things outside their control, such as environmental chemicals or other sources that are not a result of self-infliction of damage, but that is NOT the general rule of things.
Our problem is that we have CHOSEN, whether willingly or unwittingly, TO IGNORE THE PATTERN AND
SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY the most powerful being in the universe FOR
OUR BENEFIT. We look to man's answers, and man's ideas of
how to be healthy. Forces in our society have been continually
fighting the most obvious solution available. Just as surely as
God's spiritual truth has been under attack, so, too, has His
designed natural system for our health and well being been
attacked and downplayed.
For example: Does it seem likely that fighting cancer using chemicals and radiation against the body is a healthy solution? What about dealing with a health problem for years or decades, watching it worsen, only then reaching a point where modern medicine can try to do something to help... last resort living. Shouldn't it be addressed at the beginning, or better yet, reduce or eliminate the threat of it developing i the first place?
You can take sulfur, charcoal and salt peter, three beneficial substances in nature, but if you combine these isolated from other ingredients, and combine them, you get gun powder. The same concept is at work with the countless chemicals added to foods. No studies exist that address the combining of any of these ingredients in the human body. It is nothing more than Russian Roulette if we have this approach in our daily, weekly, monthly and yearly lives... "Something" is going to go wrong, sooner or later.
The human body was designed to function with specific
nutrients and activity. The natural world supplies all the
nutrition our bodies need for perfect health. All the necessary
biological building blocks are made available through this
system. The activity comes through daily living and activity. As
long as the body has the proper elements, in the proper form and amounts, our
bodies will function quite well. But here is where we really miss
the boat.
Our society has moved so far from what the natural system
supplies as to create an incredible mess when it comes to
maintaining health. Instead of relying on food as God designed it
to be supplied to our bodies, we alter, refine, remove elements,
and add back partial elements, (called "improving") additives, preservatives, etc.
This alteration is disaster for our health. It is impossible for
our bodies to function properly under this kind of assault, and
we are seeing the results all around us.
Regardless of what anyone or any group may say, unless we
begin to utilize natural health care, there is little hope of
achieving real lasting health. It is simply impossible unless we
plug into the system God designed for us. We will simply be
chasing our tails looking for the "answer" to our
problems all the while not realizing that it is all around
us.
Natural health care, in some form, has been around far longer
than traditional medical care. It has persisted despite attempts
to destroy and discredit it. There has to be a valid reason. If
it didn't work, there wouldn't be enough support for it,
and yet today, natural health care is growing rapidly. That's
because it works.
Let's move on to further understanding the simplicity of these health laws so that we can begin implementing them in our lives!
