When we pray, as Jesus taught us, we are to come to God, ?Our Father,? as a little child. Through Jesus? redemption on the cross, He bought us back from the paradise of intimacy with Him lost by Adam, restored our communication with God, and made us co-inheritors of the Kingdom of God! Therefore, we can access the Father in the Name of Jesus and ask ?our? Daddy anything we want, and He will give it to us! (John 15) Our Daddy is full of promises for all of us to live an abundant, healthy life. He cares for you as He cares for me.
One thought that comes to mind: if He loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you, then how much should we love one another? He IS Love! He wants you to walk and talk with Him as you would with your best friend. He is a jealous God. He loves it when you come to Him with all your problems and issues. After all, He is the only one who can!
Three Promises to take to heart are:
?...attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. ..They are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.? Proverbs 4: 18-22),
?faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.? (Romans 10:17), and
? prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.? (3 John 2).
Read, Listen, and Do
Health does not just come by wishing or hoping for it. The Bible is truth. Isn't it wonderful to know we have someone we can rely on! The First Commandment tells us to ?love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might! I still vividly recall the day I first learned that in Grade 6. I remember thinking how impossible it would be to love someone you do not know and cannot see! But He ?read? those thoughts I had so long ago and quietly, gradually brought me to the point where I not only found Him and learned about Him, but came to know and love Him intimately. And, that was by first inviting Jesus Christ to be Lord over my life. He teaches that when you know Him, you also know the Father (Mat. 14:7,9).
It is important to read the Bible, meditate on it, and honor God by doing what it tells you to do. This is not an overnight quick-fix. Learning the Word, listening to anointed teachings, and asking the Holy Spirit to guide and instruct you in all things is the way to come to know and love God. When the words are allowed to sink deeply into your heart daily then, according to Proverbs 4:23: ?the issues of life? will literally flow out of you. In other words, the Word will become such an integral part of you that when you are confronted with disaster of any kind, the Holy Spirit will bring to your memory Healing Scriptures to speak into that situation. Verses pertaining to peace, healing, or whatever that situation requires will burst out of you and healing will follow ? according to your faith.
The wonderful thing about faith is that it grows! One day you may have a sore throat and see it healed miraculously before your eyes! Guess what. The next time you have a bigger problem, or someone asks you to pray for their sore throat, you will find your faith is there to meet the challenge!
Key To Good Health
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is essential in maintaining optimum health. It nourishes our hair, skin, muscles, joints and nails; it can reduce pain and inflammation; it also has been shown to increase blood circulation, strengthen capillary walls and thus heal varicose veins; and it can be helpful in treating many other conditions such as arthritis, asthma, emphysema, tendinitis, diabetes, acne, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, constipation, digestive disorders, parasite infestations, allergies, toxic build-up and ulcers.
One well-known advocate of MSM, Stanley W. Jacob, M.D., co author of "The Miracle of MSM," records having cared for over 18,000 patients with MSM. Some of the conditions that he claims to have successfully treated with MSM include myasthenia gravis, lupus, fibromyalgia and snoring. Another prominent spokesperson for MSM, Robert M. Herschler, Ph.D., has found MSM to be an effective "ameliorating agent" against many of the physiological responses to stress.
In experiments that have been performed with mice, MSM effectively reduced arthritis related joint deterioration, deformities and swelling. Other animal studies have shown that MSM has a potential for treating breast cancer, colon cancer and anemia. Studies done on humans showed MSM comparing favorably against a placebo when tested for effectiveness against such ailments as osteoarthritis of the knee and also hay fever.
MSM is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound. It is present in fresh fish, meat, plants and fruit. That being the case, is there any need for MSM supplementation? Herschler states that the MSM that is in those substances is lost with even a modest amount of processing such as drying or heating. Since most people who live in North America rely heavily on processed foods, there may be little or no MSM in their diet. And as it is a crucial component in one's health, the need for supplementation becomes clear.
Why is MSM so conducive for good health? It is a sulfur compound and sulfur is an essential mineral for the body. Sulfur is a component of bones, teeth and collagen (the protein in connective tissue.) The sulfur mineral is needed in the manufacture of many proteins, including those that form hair, muscle and skin. Thus all of those body parts are strengthened through the use of MSM.
How much MSM does one need to take and how often? Some of the research that has been conducted on MSM indicates that one needs to take a steady supply of it for it to help maintain one's health. Phyllis and James Balch, in their book "Prescription For Nutritional Healing," recommend that one should start with a dosage of 1,000 milligrams of MSM a day. That should eventually be raised to 2,000 milligrams a day. There has been no evidence of any toxicity build up or harmful side effects from the regular use of MSM at those dosages. However, it is generally advised that pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid MSM.
MSM is available for use in capsules and tablets. It is also available for application to the skin as a lotion, cream or gel.
