Keeping Healthly
The Bible tells of prevention of sickness and proper
behavior for good health. I have heard a lot of preachers
saying God does not cause sickness, but the bible doesn't
say that, as you will see from some of the verses below
Bible
verses
|
Explanation
|
My son, give attention to my
words; and incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let the depart from your sight; keep them
in the midst of your heart.
For they are life to those who find them, and
health to all their whole body.
Prov. 4: 20-22 |
King Solomon who wrote most the
Proverbs says to pay attention to his book of
behavior and wisdom. Know the rules, following
them preserves good health for the whole body. |
And he said. "If you will
give earnest heed to the voice of the Lord your
God, and do what is right in His sight, and give
ear to his commandments, and keep all His
statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you,
which I have put on the Egyptians; for I the Lord
am your healer."
Exodus 15:26 |
The message through the prophet
Moses, speaks the same thing very clearly, Obey
the commands and rules of God and He will not
give you illness. God also claims to have caused
disease to those who didn't follow His ways (in
this case, Egyptians) |
A man ought to examine himself
before he eats the bread and drinks the cup.
For anyone who eats and drinks without
recognizing the body of the Lord, eats and drinks
judgement on himself.
That is why many among you are weak and sick, and
a number of you have fallen asleep.
1Cor. 11:28-30 |
For those of you who want New
Testament verses, this one practically reveals a
curse on anyone who takes communion in an
unworthy manner. It is not a ceremony to take
lightly, be sure you are right with God first. |
Do not be wise in your own eyes,
fear the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body and
nourishment to your bones.
Prov 3:7,8 |
Here again is the perscription
for good health, fear and respect for God, and
staying away from evil. |
But for you who fear My name, the
son of righteousness will rise, with healing in
its wings; and you will go forth and skip about
like calves from the stall.
Mal 4:2 |
Here another prophet, Malachi,
says fearing God is the perscription for getting
healed. Even sounds like the fountain of youth at
your disposal. |
A joyful heart is good
medicine,but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Prov. 17:22 |
Some doctors are now finding that
joy, even laughter is helping their patients
recover. However it is also being found that
depressed and ornary people are getting sick more
often. It was all in the Bible for thousands of
years. |
Then it shall come about, because
you listen to these judgements,and keep and do
them...(12a)
.. the Lord will remove from you all sickness;
and He will not put on you any of the harmful
diseases of Egypt which you have known, but He
will lay them on all who hate you.
Deut. 7: 12a &15 |
Here again, obedience to Gods'
judgements and commands is like an inoculation
against disease. Also be sure not to hate the
Jews, because you are either with them by birth
and obedience, or through joining the family of
Jesus. Through them is the blessing, (to all who
bless them.) |
Worship the Lord your God and His
blessing will be on your food and water. I will
take away sickness from among you.
Exodus 23:25 |
Plain and simple. Moses the
prophet wrote the formula thousands of years ago.
|
Bless the Lord, Oh my soul and
forget none of His benefits;
Who pardons all your iniquities and heals all you
diseases.
Psalms 103: 2,3 |
Thank God and bless Him. Here
again sin and disease is in the same sentence. It
is written/prophecied. |
|
Summary
1) The main idea is obedience to God, His
laws and statutes. God promised good health to those who
keep their life in line with His rules.
2) Be careful to take communion in a worthy and reverent
manner. It is a ritual, treat it that way.
3) Worship and thank God. Aknowledge God as creator and
worthy of praise.
4) Joy and gladness should be in your heart. Preffeably
the joy of the Holy Spirit.
5) If you've lived a good life but are still sick, this
could be a need of forgiveness. Even if you are a fairly
good person you still have sin. If you go through life
without forgiveness, then even the little sins fester in
you body for years, which could cause disease. Therefore
it is important to obtain forgiveness regularly
throughout your days. Don't let the sin stay with you.

Foods to Avoid
There are several dietary rules that God
gave to the Isrealites when he was instructing the
nation. New Testament tradition makes all things clean
because God told Peter to "kill and eat" the
unclean animals and creaping things he saw in a vision.
This was also an introduction to Peter that he should
include Gentiles (non-Jewish and considered unclean) with
the message of the Gospel and the Holy Spirit. Modern
research has revealed that the following items which were
abominations to the Jews are not healthy for people.
These foods are:
1) Meat from a pig was an abomintion,
including pork chops, ham, bacon, and certain sausage.
Pigs are a waste eater, they eat anything and are given
scaps to eat. They also carry micro organisms that can
make you sick if the meat is not cooked well. Although it
is eatable, it is not good for you according to many
modern reaseachers.
2) Fat from an animal was strickly forbidden, not to be
eaten, only burned as a sacrifice. A little fat makes the
meat juicy and flavorful, a lot makes you a glutton. It
has been found to be high in Bad cholesteral which clogs
the arteries and causes heart attacks. It is also a cause
of obesity. Cook a steak with the fat on for flavor, cut
it off before eating it.
3) Blood was also an abomination, it was to be drained
out. Eating raw meats that are high in blood was not
permitted. The Bible says, the life is in the blood. Now
we also find out that death is in the blood because if
carries disease. Viruses, AIDS, hepatitus, herpes, you
name it, it resides in the blood. They test the blood
they give you if you need a transfusion, but only for
know diseases and not for all of them. Don't eat or drink
the blood !
4) Shell fish are also an abomination.
Shrimp, lobster, crabs, scallops, snails, clams, oyters,
etc. We consider them delicacies. Researchers have found
them not healthy for you though. So I would limit your
intake of such foods to special occations. But not
religious occations, cause God is not impressed.
