MOST OF ALL I WANT PEOPLE TO REALIZE THEIR OWN SELF HEALING GOD GIVEN POTENTIAL. THE BRAIN IS OUR POWER TO TOTALLY HEAL THE BODY.
He has prepared this living habitation for the mind; it is “curiously wrought,” a temple which the Lord Himself has fitted up for the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. The mind controls the whole man. All our actions, good or bad, have their source in the mind. It is the mind that worships God and allies us to heavenly beings. Yet many spend all their lives without becoming intelligent in regard to the casket [the human body] that contains this treasure. {CG 360.1}
The hormonal system controlled by our thoughts and feelings has an effect on hormonal and vitamin reserves. The frontal lobe is like a radio and is that which communicates with the Holy Spirit. The frontal lobe is affected for good and evil on one hand or by that which is good only by the five senses and can be permanently destroyed by how we treat the temple of the body.
Those who would be workers together with God must strive for perfection of every organ of the body and quality of the mind. True education is the preparation of the physical, mental, and moral powers for the performance of every duty; it is the training of body, mind, and soul for divine service. This is the education that will endure unto eternal life. {COL 330.3} Note the body is a housing for the soul- that which God preserves to day of judgement.
Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Therefore Daniel and his friends requested a vegetarian diet.
Daniel 1:16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
Daniel and his friends had gone through perverse circumstance- taken from his home land, princes who were castrated and they didn’t just sit down and sorrow in their circumstances. They submitted all to God to His glory, all they had in body and spirit (the thoughts and feelings).
Isaiah 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree.
56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
See what the verse is saying, though physical impediment say not that I am a dry tree for I will make a name for you in my palace and so he did for Daniel and His friends that bears record for us on whom the end of the world have come.
The promise to Daniel and others though they had adverse circumstances and could not have a relationship or family God has given him a name that will last forever. Notice also the Daniel 1:8 Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. The purpose of their hearts meant God’s spirit would be manifest to them. The purpose of the heart was like blessing the food we eat when really heart felt, it was more than Daniel, Shadrach; Meshach and Abednego had decided to be vegetarians, it was by faith they submitted to God and while they worked on addition, God works for them on the plan of multiplication.
The Holy Spirit will make all who are willing to be educated able to communicate the truth with power. (You see what He wants for us is to communicate truth with power and that in body as well as Spirit) It will renew every organ of the body, that God’s servants may work acceptably and successfully. Vitality increases under the influence of the Spirit’s action. Let us, then, by this power lift ourselves into a higher, holier atmosphere, that we may do well our appointed work.–R.H., Jan. 14, 1902. {MM 12.2}
The body is given to us, a body was prepared of the Father for Christ- so Jesus treated it as not his own- not my will but they will be done. The point is that God’s word says this body is not our own and if you don’t believe it, then death will surly sort that matter out.
Of Christ it was said: Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
10:6 In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
Therefore a body is not our own but given us of God and if we obey and treasure that which God has given, then a body will be given those who are loyal to Him that will endure throughout eternity.
We start here to talk about physical healing but it is never separate from spiritual things. Real healing comes when we apply God’s laws. The body works by time and law. And as we have already mentioned as we obey God manifests himself to us as to Daniel and his associates.
Daniel 1:16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
1:18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
1:19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
Christ by His life followed certain principals, and simplification, cleanliness and order were among the ways that He combated the enemy. These principals apply to physical healing. John Wesley was also a wonderful leader in this respect and was a pioneer in electrotherapy and a simple diet.
The parable of the seed is appropriate to those who take physical health for granted. Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Many find it an inconvenience or they fail to investigate the rational for life and healing. They allow their life to hang on the recommendations of others who 99% of the time do not follow rational medicine. An example of rational medicine is this- we are made and live off minerals which changes our microbial state, yet we rely on chemicals in a nutrient deficient body and use fungal based antibiotics which lower the immune system- this is common practice of bad medicine on which many rely and die. Steps are required- one step at a time until we reach the goal of nutrient rich, hydrated and clean body. The goals though seemingly high must be right. One health professional said to me that sounds too hard
Lifestyle changes in a busy world do not come easy but the issue at stake ultimately is life itself. A habit may take 30+ days to break as we have worn a strong neural pathway in the brain for it to have been created in the first place. We need to set out our goals on a whiteboard and persevere with patience and exercise the long forgotten power of the will. When we fall off the wagon, be kind to self and get back on. WE add to this the Lord and our requests made known to Him that He helps us to achieve the desires of the heart. This is not a magical wand because God would have us exercise the power of the mind and choose-He has us exercising the mind in the real world. However when we step forward He assists us just like Israel crossing the Jordan.
Isaiah 13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
How? Both physically and Spiritually. How much will a person work and fight to obtain gold but how much more precious in God’s sight is the individual you! How precious is our physical being.
Starting point is an understanding of the soil from which man is taken- the Bible reference Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Here is understanding also to what a soul is. Just like microbes in the soil, microbes in the gut are dealing with organic matter and if the gut become putrid then the microbes work to clean up the matter but we are now in a diseased state. The cycle of life must end but we can be maintained in a state of health throughout life until the end comes. This is only possible to following God’s law and the laws He has established in the natural world.
2 Chronicles 36:21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: [for] as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. The Israelites had not obeyed God and rested the land every seven years from its labor and so the land would enjoy its Sabbath of rest.
The Lord pronounced, by the mouth of Moses, blessings upon the obedient, and curses upon the disobedient. “Ye shall make you no idols,” was the command of God. “Ye shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” Many and great blessings are enumerated, which God would bestow; and then, above all the other blessings, he promised, “I will set my tabernacle among you; and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” “But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; and if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant, I also will do this unto you: I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow your seed in vain; for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies. They that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.” {2SP 54.2}
Cycles, timing, rest these are God ordained way for man. The combination of timing and rest has an important role to play in soil and body microbes and they determine life and death.
There are more microbes found in a handful of soil than there are people on the earth. Soils contains bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, earthworms,and arthropods. Your body is made up of around ten trillion cells, but you harbour a hundred trillion bacteria. For every gene in your genome, there are 100 bacterial ones. This should tells something about sciences ability to manipulate genes- it cannot manipulate nor does it have all the genotypes to works with and medicine should be applying itself to understand how to work with natural law. Microbes morph themselves to your nutritional state.
The health message correlates to distinctive teachings- State of the Dead 1 Thess 4:16-18 and The Sabbath commandment to Rest Exodus 20:8-11. Those things promoted- (note prompted not a test of faith)
• 1. Care of our health, body is our responsibility Deut 15:26
• 2.The cause of disease is violation of health or natural laws Deut 15:26 and so the term rational therapy is used, where one considers the cause to find what has happened or the effect
• 3.Intemperance- Stimulating drinks, tobacco, highly spiced food, sexual misconduct
• 4. Vegetarianism – recognizing clean and unclean meat and warning concerning blood and the fat Lev 3:17 [It shall be] a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. Gen 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it
• 5. Physical rest- do not overwork the stomach, mind and body- ‘Enter into my rest’
Rest is a principal for the body and involves much more than lying down
• 6. Mind control/health- Positiveness, whatsoever things are pure etc Phil 4:8 We know today that the rest of the body and hormones/ health are interrelated which are controlled by the mind
• 7. Natural remedies- that which God has created; we need to have faith in His cures- For example today herbal properties and their healing agents are well documented- not just folk law. Jethro Kloss ‘Back to Eden’ was a SDA minister/ pioneer in this area, his message included cancer treatment- Kloss was born in 1863
• 8. Cleanliness in our homes and bodies-Washing hands for the Israelites in the OT times was purely a matter of faith, today we understand why. Leukemia can relate to the environment of the home.
All God ways of healing involve faith and the recipient acting upon that faith. By the way faith is not a drug Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Two trees present in Eden- Tree of the knowledge of good and evil and Tree of life. The world grows in the Knowledge of the tree of Good and Evil- walking the steps of Lucifer/ yin and yen or black and white, a mixture of Truth as it is in Jesus with Pagan ideas- is symbolic of the Tree of Knowledge of God and Evil- or Lucifer’s tree. Health is also practiced often this way- moderation in all things- knowledge of Good and evil……
The Tree of Life- advocates another way- moderation in all good things- truth.
Understand that appetite is very much part of mans’ weakness to sin that equates from sin to disease. The disciples of Christ knowing the commandments had some idea of genetics- exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
20:6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Therefore the disciples asked Jesus this: John 9:1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.
9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
1 John 2:16 the world—-lust of the flesh, ….The lust of the flesh clearly wars against our physical and spiritual being, our thoughts and feeling are affected by how the body is treated
Jesus overcame the Flesh “… Jesus would take man’s fallen nature, and engage to cope with the strong foe who triumphed over Adam. Christ entered upon the test upon the point of appetite, and for nearly six weeks resisted temptation in behalf of man. That long fast in the wilderness was to be a lesson to fallen man for all time. Christ was not overcome by the strong temptations of the enemy, and this is encouragement for every soul who is struggling against temptation. Christ has made it possible for every member of the human family to resist temptation. All who would live godly lives may overcome as Christ overcame…, by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony. That long fast of the Saviour strengthened Him to endure. He gave evidence to man that He would begin the work of overcoming just where ruin began,–on the point of appetite. {CD 186.1}
Clean and rest the body inside & out
Aim:
Simplify, rest and clean
If we look carefully at the son of God’s life He simplifies things and did all things according to law and order. The following is really just unraveling the complex western diet and lifestyle to simplify and purify the inside of the body for vitality and self healing.
Take the intestines from a putrid clogged garbage can to an efficient mineral absorbing system which will change the body’s microbial system. Microbes assist the body in absorbing, moisturizing the skin, protecting the body and so much more, when we give ourselves the right amount and quality of food and water.
This is a brief outline of a lifestyle program that a person can use to regain vitality or for a diabetic
Nutrition zinc, chromium, magnesium, these minerals assist body insulin but have many more function that this- Olives at every meal will help omega 3 & 6. Organic beetroot, tempi soy- for B12. Fruit and vegetables should be eaten at separate meals. Use nuts (this can replace meat, but peanuts are really a legume that we should rely less on and commercial peanut butter I wouldn’t recommend) and pumpkins seeds (a good source of zinc and brown rice (a good range of amino acids). Include ginger, cayenne and garlic as these have many properties such as assist circulation and immunity. Use bread without yeast or Zwieback, and bread homemade without oil 2-3 days old, limit yeast and use rye bread where possible. Use the colours of the fruits and vegetables throughout the week – God’s colour code, so the body gets a range of nutrients. Herbs are the best supplements and have been sudied and documents for their therapeutic value. Acidophilus and bifida ½ before breakfast is a good idea when starting health changes.
Salt– good salt such as Celtic sea salt is necessary for good blood for the minerals necessary for life currents- electricity.
Water ½ hour before meals and one hour after meals. Liquid with meals wash down salivary amylase including mushy food which is not well digested. Sweat baths are a good detox as are, colonic for cleaning toxins that build up in the intestines. Electrotherapy and water treatments can direct blood to specifically heal a area of the body.
Exercise– 8 sec, 12 sec rest 3 times a minute for 20 minutes 3 times a week. Exercise to sweat
Sunshine –sun bath are a good idea provided you do not have oxidised cholesterol in the system which came from most plant oils and animal fats added to food products and causes artery damage. Exercise outdoor where possible- this controls blood pressure and blood sugar levels if free oils are not present in the body.
Temperance– moderation in all good things. Limit meals to 3 food combinations where practical. Hydrate the body, no alcohol, tea or coffee or plant oils, minimal cold pressed virgin olive oil which can go off in as little as 4 days and cut all other forms of grease, butters etc- no grease or fat. Beware that oil is placed on nuts and raisins etc. Sugar and milk products such as custards and ice cream lower the immune system and destroy blood quality and cause artery damage. Meat, fish and dairy are not advised but scaled fish is a better meat. Some problems today arise from food/meat production including fish which carry pollutants, mercury and that can cause nerve and blood vessel damage, an pumping cattle with antibiotics and a whole lot more. Do not have mushy meals and lots of smoothies. Hot biscuit raised with soda or baking powder should not be used, this is a damaging salt. Tea, coffee, colas and alcohol cause dehydration and demineralization and promote cancer. All alcohol is a known carcinogenic.
Air Good posture and deep abdominal breathing is a great idea on its own and when exercising. Fresh air where possible and the free flow of air when sleeping and in general limits fungal conditions. The use of pine, eucalyptus when breathing can have a beneficial effect on damaged lungs. Use a 10 second count to control breathing from the abdomen.
Rest the stomach and limit meals, two meals a day is ideal, breakfast and lunch and at 5 hour intervals. No snacks, nothing but water only. Limit food combinations of foods to 2- 3 food combinations if possible. Do not mix fruit and vegetables as these have different digestion times. Look at where your fruit and vegetables are coming from – the more brix in the fruit and vegetables the more minerals.
9 pm bedtime in dark room with a fresh,clean environment. Melatonin regulate sleep, serotonin helps – to detoxify and controls hormones including body insulin which is a hormone.
Rational medicine recognizes the basic fact of what man was made of and what heals him.
A person can heal easier on a 2 meal a day principal, as the body rests between the meals absorption is better- 5 hours between meals with a good breakfast
Tea, coffee and alcohol dehydrate so do not use
Do not use any butters or oils
Custards, chocolate, ice cream, anything with baking soda makes poor blood
Any little poison when the system is struggling is a problem and allows poor healing
Sugar products will reduce the immune system quickly
Barley greens and spirulina are good for minerals and protein
Acidophilus/bifida 30 min before breakfast will help to replenish microbes
Nettle tea before the meal
Ginger, cayenne and ginkgo assist peripheral circulation
Lots of minerals in the food, cleansing and resting the body from the inside to out, leads to the restoration of the body’s arteries and the ability to self heal for the Bible says ‘the life of the flesh is in the blood.’ This is a picture by Dr caldwell esselstyn arteries restored after using no free oils, meat, dairy or fish with the assurance that one can make themselves heart attack proof in 3 weeks. The picture on the left was of a person who had 2 months to live with an inoperable heart condition. The heart is restored by diet alone after 2 years.
Therefore God said for our sake:
Leviticus 3:17 [It shall be] a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. Adding to this we have plant oils being a concentrate in the body though required, are required generally as God provided,not adding palm oil, canola, peanut oil etc which are damaging.
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. God’s children do not destroy for a gluttonous appetite or for pleasure.
Physical ways to improve blood flow to heart and legs
Walking and deep breathing abdominal exercise including short walk after meals
Massage to legs
Cold shower the legs before bed for 1.5 minutes and get warm within the bed
Heels raises 1.5 min times three times a day
Epsom salts bath for feet and cream
Internal Peripheral Stimulants
Cayenne
Ginger
Magnesium
Important considerations for blockage to stop using
Plant oils of all kind
Red meats
Custards, milk and sugar ice cream
Every meal for omega 3 & 6
Olives
The Spiritual physical connection have a common denominator- that is the will
The thing that people openly acknowledge they lack most is often will power
Some are steered in a certain direction with health and lifestyle habits that are totally wrong. Taking God’s principals on board and not man’s leads us aright. Why spend all that energy whether in church or a healthy lifestyle program to be living half the truth that leaves us with a lie in other words not healthy at all, because we are not following the guidelines as it is laid down.
The will is the governing power of man and this is the overwhelming problem in spiritual and physical healing. The true gospel hinges around will power and it is a choice of cooperation with God to live by the principals He has given.
He who has been overcome again and again, (and by this point we include in some dimension every son of Adam) need not always be. Though weak in moral power, controlled by the habits of a life, with promises and resolutions like ropes of sand, he can and he must resist and build on the principals of exercise of the body and mind and purity and simplicity. The knowledge of his broken promises and forfeited pledges weakens his confidence in his own sincerity.
Through the right exercise of the will an entire change may be made in the life. By yielding up the will to Christ, we ally ourselves with divine power. We receive strength from above to hold us steadfast. A pure and noble life, a life of victory over appetite and lust, is possible to everyone who will unite his weak, wavering human will to the omnipotent, unwavering will of God. {CH 440.2}
What makes the change-
Pure truth- what is truth well in this case the proof in seen in a picture of dietary change that is not commonly acknowledged; the power of the body to repair its own arteries.
The environment: there has to be the right church or surroundings, which could be a tennis night for example to encourage exercise, the right media to mentally make the change.
Want it and mark your progress- if you fall 20 times- get up and get back on the wagon again. Whiteboard your goals daily and mark off what you have achieved. Most of all you ask God to bless your efforts and He will multiply.
There are principals to follow by faith- the thoughts and feelings will change if we follow the principals. Herein are points about salvation and well being. The change in habit may take 30 days or longer or be immediate depending on the desire of the heart. The imbalances in the Protestant and Catholic gospel have to do with our part in relation to Christ in salvation, it has very real and physical dimensions, and the exercise of the will, the need to resist. to step forward is very real and many will never see the power of God in their life for the very reason of their lack of willingness or mental effort. Decision is the governing power of man which God will never take away as this is the very essence of his being- the freedom and power to choose. Protestantism and Catholicism do not follow the all important gospel truth of the will, faith and obedience as necessary to overcome in this life. Both turn from ‘Jewish’ laws of health and Sabbath the very distinguishing mark of God to His people for their well being.
All these things work together when we know and understand who Christ is, admired and inspired by His presence. “In nine cases out of ten the knowledge of a sin-pardoning Saviour would make them better both in mind and body. Jesus can limit the power of Satan.”
America is certainly a contrast, known for its convenience in fast and fat foods but also most likely some of the best health food stores in the world. Look at the rich colours and variety and size of the store with restaurants attached and health lectures- this certainly puts those who espouse Christian health principals to shame because is the very work the Lord has called them to do.
Image 1 Graveyard in Edinburgh where I saw a man walking between the tomb stones on his stumps, he had no feet. Only the true teachings of the Bible can give this man hope, and as lucky as most of us are, can give any of us hope of a real body with legs and restoration of youth & vitality. The teaching of the death in which the dead know not anything, the soul and what that truly is and the resurrection in the last day that rejects in that teaching spiritism is what ties many other Biblical teachings in its train and the importance of Old Testament health laws.
Images 2-4 We have everything to live for. In the new world animals part of the gift of life will be much closer to us and part of our life. This body though temporary, affected by the thoughts and feelings of the mind, will determine our eternal destiny and physical life hereafter, whether we truly treasured our existence or squandered that which might be more precious than gold.
Travel is very much the agenda in the new world just ahead.

By pressing upon the soul the idea that God is displeased with us, Satan tries to torture us into unbelief. But we are to “rejoice in the Lord alway” [1 Peter 1:6-9 quoted]. The Lord Jesus is our only hope. He is your hope, and I am commissioned in His name to ask you to put your entire trust in Him [Isaiah 57:15, quoted.] {12MR 37.2}
