Church of God Health
Dedicated to the good health of the Church of God, the Body of Christ
3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
It is my prayer that the Spirit of God will use this site to His glory and honor and to help His children "be in health."
For the last few years, I’ve read the prayer requests for my brothers and sisters in Christ, among which are many requests for the chronically ill. Many have had cancer and have received chemotherapy and radiation. Others have had diabetes and other curable conditions and are using diabetic drugs and such. Time and again, I find myself searching for words for many of the requests. I always end up praying that our Father would lead them to the truth concerning good health. I always find myself with the strong desire to be able to contact all the suffering and dying individuals and tell them there’s a better way! It breaks my heart to see that my brothers and sisters are living the world’s way in matters of physical health. It just shouldn’t be!
It is a truth that, compared to the general population, people in the Church (commandment keeping Christians) are more likely to live out healthful lifestyles in accordance to God’s will. Unfortunately, however, it seems as if a great number of people in the Church are living very worldly when it comes to health matters. We are to be a light to the world. This is for all areas of life. How much good does it do if we don’t eat pork and other abominable creatures and yet ingest a daily dose of artificial, genetically modified, refined, and other harmful ingredients? What good does it do if we don’t eat catfish, but we pop pills for headaches and take in highly toxic chemicals to attack cancerous growths? Does our Father not want us to be wise? Does he want us to poison ourselves and teach others to do so or to not bother to share with our brethren that there's a better way?
Are we not to live up to the spirit of the law? When the bible says, "Thou shalt not murder," and "Love thy neighbor as thyself (which includes loving oneself)," do these commands stop short of eating and injecting poisons into ourselves and letting others to do so without warning? Is it permissible for the able children of God to be lazy and not do any physical activity to maintain our physical health? Is it permissible to eat whatever we want, besides the clean and unclean plant and meat laws? In other words, is it holy to eat neurotoxic artificial ingredients and destructive genetically engineered foods and an excessive amount of refined grains and natural sweeteners (such as honey and sugar cane)?
I love what was said at the beginning of Dr. Scott Whitaker's and Jose' Fleming's book Medisin:
In the beginning, God populated the earth with broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, green, yellow, and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then using God's great gifts, Satan created commercial dairy and doughnuts...And Satan said, You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, Yea[h]." And [W]oman said, "and another one with sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds.
And God created healthful yogurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from wheat, and sugar from the cane, and combined them. And woman went from size 2 to size 16.
So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing and garlic toast on the side. And man and woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
God then said, "I have sent you heart health[ful] vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And man gained more weight, and his cholesterol went through the roof. God then brought running shoes so that his children might lose those extra pounds.
And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing channels. And man and woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and gained pounds.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starch center into chips and deep-fried them. And man gained pounds.
God then gave lean beef so that man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created fast food and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then he said, "You want fries with that?" And man replied, "Yea[h]! And super size 'em."
And Satan said, "It is good."
And man went into cardiac arrest.
...and Satan created HMOs.
We should show to the world that God's way of living is GOOD. That includes the fact that God's way should bring good health. In general, God's people (Christians) should be healthier than the general population. Let's be a LIGHT to the world in health matters.
This is a brand-new site. I need help from willing brethren. It matters not whether you are male or female or whether you're in your 20s or your 80s. What matters is that you a Spirit-filled, commandment-keeping child of God and that you promote and support natural biblical health that focuses on good diet (including medicinal herbs), exercise, fasting, and rest. I need people to submit articles (their own or others') or other helpful info regarding natural health, including from the following areas:
*Herbal therapies
*Nutrition/Diet
*Exercise
*Natural Cancer Treatments and Cures
*Fasting and Detox
*Women's Health (breastfeeding, homebirth, menstruation, and menopause)
*Chiropractic
*And others
Credit will be given to whom credit is due. Thank you in advance for your help. I will add articles and resources as time permits. I run three sites and have two young children to rear and educate.
