Our
body, soul and spirit are interconnected. The health of one influences the
health of the others. Negative habits, emotions and thoughts reflect in our
facial expression, eyes and body language, as well as cripple our spirit and
create diseases in our body and soul.
Psycho-neuro-immunologists
show us that molecules exhaled from our body during times of stress,
unforgiveness and negative emotions prove that these adverse emotions damage
our vital organs, and are even lethal.
Destructive
thoughts and emotions shock our body and cause lesions in our nervous system,
which interrupts our body's vitality. Repressing and denying our adverse
feelings and thoughts simply bottle them up.
This
causes the negative energy to attack and damage our body and soul. They also escape
and add their fury to current emotions when we express our self during present
situations.
Carbonation,
chemicals and sugar are in many of our medication, drinks and food. These
deplete most of the nutrients that our body needs to stay healthy. We are also
allergic to some foods, and do not realize it.
Going
on a medical diet: first a full detox diet and then an elimination diet - will
give us a clue as to how our body reacts to various foods ( https://store.amymyersmd.com/
). There are so many things that we eat and drink that are detrimental to our
body; and therefore, to our soul and spirit as well.
We
also deplete our energy by codependence and neglecting our self. We put
everyone else first and ignore our own needs, hoping someone else will come
along to care for us. We act like a martyr, and find our value in serving
others rather than in walking in God's will.
When
we weaken our expectations of joy in our life with negative attitudes and
habits, we open the door for Satan to destroy us. God's Word tells us to do
everything for God's glory, even in what we eat and drink, and to find joy in
every experience (James 1:2-3; 1 Corinthians 10:31).
Prayer:
Father
God, please remind us that You plant a seed for a miracle in every adverse
situation that comes our way. In this world, we will have tribulation, but
Christ abides in us, and He has already overcome this world (John 16:33). Help
us to realize that we are not of this world, because our true home is really in
heaven (John 17:16; Philippians 3:20).
We
are no longer outsiders and refugees, aimlessly wandering on this earth; but we
are joint heirs with Jesus and all of Your Saints, as well as members of Your
Household (Romans 8:17; Ephesians 2:19). We do not want negative habits,
hang-ups, thoughts and emotions to diminish our health, rob us of our
relationships, and diminish our ability to serve You in this world. We look to
You to teach us to walk in Your ways.
Thought for the Day:
Authentic
Believers conduct our self in this world in a routine that is worthy of the
gospel of Christ, setting our mind on spiritual, rather than carnal aspects; we
can do this since we are already raised with Christ, have the mind of Christ, and
no longer need to strive for things of this world, since we are seated with
Jesus in Heavenly places at the right hand of God. '
- Philippians 1:27;
Colossians 3:1-2
