So much Health Information...How to Discern?
We are spiritual beings and when left to our own leisure we're capable of all kinds of machinations ... but there is a way to keep our thoughts healthy, disciplined, and given to 'right' decision making that greatly affects our over-all health and well being... what is that way? Wisdom ...wisdom from our Creator... And these passages from Proverbs tells the importance of wisdom:
“Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.”
Proverbs 3:13-22 KJV
Now you might ask...wisdom... but how does one get it... I'm too old to go back to college... well... no matter how many years or degrees one has from the best universities in this world they still might not have wisdom... there is a difference between 'knowledge' and wisdom. One might have all that knowledge but not the wisdom to properly apply it...on the other hand a person that has never attended a college but has the wisdom from above given to him freely by our Creator could be light years a head of the person that only obtains knowledge. There is much knowledge, but it takes wisdom to discern truth, knowledge without truth is vanity and useless.
There is no lack of knowledge in this world today but wisdom is scarce because our knowledge has determined we no longer need the guidance of our Creator, Almighty God... whom made us in His image.
There are so many knowledgable people and scientist that search continuously for cures that never come but they keep searching in their self-serving vanity. Or in worst case scenarios they conjure up scientific papers to serve their corporate masters.
There are many others that truly have a heart wanting to help but they approach it from a secular evolutionary perspective so from their very foundation they are wrong and blindly walking a deceptive path.
Praise Almighty God... there are many that love our Creator and seek His wisdom and they truly bring health benefits to those that seek the same. They seek the wisdom of the One that created these bodies and enlist His guidance and power.
So... how do you receive wisdom... believe in the One that gives to all freely and ask...
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
James 1:5 KJV
To manage your own health it is important to have wisdom to discern... my personal physician... 'Christ Jesus'... leads me to where I need to be or what I need to take in for my body to heal itself and be well.
Sometimes it is just setting my mind on Him and allowing Him to heal me ...other times He leads me to someone else... such as a chiropractor ... or my eye doctor...
But most generally I'm always led to my apothecary I call my kitchen and fix some medicinal nourishing food that gives my body the energy it needs to heal itself... sometimes something so simple as organic lemon wate to feed my liver and alkalize my pH woks ... or something more involved such as organic chicken soup or bone broth ...which by the way is extremely nourishing to a very sick body that cannot take in food. Just make sure to add a tsp of organic apple cider vinegar to the water to dissolve the minerals from the bones as it simmers for 24 hours or longer.
"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine thy food"
~ Hippocrates
In closing, health is not only about our physical body but more importantly is about our spiritual health.
The physical cannot heal the spiritual but the spiritual can heal the physical.
If we do not have the 'life giving blood' of Christ by receiving His Holy Spirit we are dead already and the body will follow... but if we have accepted the 'life giving blood' and received the Holy Spirit of Christ ...though our body dies ...we live!
