Psalms
107:20-21 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions. (21) Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and
for his wonderful works to the children of men! (KJV)
Jesus
Christ is God’s gift to mankind, though many others try and claim that
title; He only is the great physician, and able to restore us to a healthy
relationship with our Father, healing the brokenhearted.
Matthew
23:25-26 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean
the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of
extortion and excess. (26) Thou
blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter,
that the outside of them may be clean also. (KJV)
When
people talk of good health, the first thing that comes to mind is diet and
exercise. If you watch the TV ads,
you will see many things man has invented to produce results, quick and
easy. However, good health begins in the heart, cleansing the inward man
first, which will manifest in the outward.
Matthew
6:31-33 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (32) (For after all
these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that
ye have need of all these things. (33) But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
(KJV)
Man’s
first priority, and the way we have been taught all our life, is to take
care of the outward first, which will then satisfy the inward. However in
God’s realm, which differs from mans, we should be diligent to first seek
the things of God which will keep one in good standing and healthy, spirit,
soul, and body.
Proverbs
4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. (21)
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
(22) For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their
flesh. (KJV)
The
kingdom of God is within you, and learning how to feed and nurture the new
creation within is what will make you whole.
Isaiah
55:2-3 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your
labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat
ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. (3) Incline
your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make
an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. (KJV)
How
much soul food are you getting in your diet? Are you living a healthy diet
spiritually, or trying to get by on junk food, mans doctrines, full of
additives and unhealthy supplements, quick fixes that promise much and
deliver little.
3
John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be
in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (KJV)
If you notice the order in the verses
above, you will see the same pattern; seeking first the things of God, will
bring about the desired results that God has promised for those that
believe. Now go take what is rightfully yours as a child of God, and don’t
accept anything less. God bless and keep the faith.
