My child, I am forming in you a new heart. One that hungers and thirsts after Me. One that realizes nothing else satisfies but Me alone. You have a void that only I can fill. Don’t try to fill it with useless things. Come to Me Your Maker and Your Creator. I will soothe your soul and fill your deepest longings.
My child, take heart. You have My treasure in your earthly body, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of Me and not from yourself. You are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying around in your body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in your body. I will shine through those who are wholly devoted to Me.
2 Corinthians 4: 7-10
“Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited,” Hebrews 13:9 says.
For many of us the quest for ‘Healthy Living’ is an ongoing process. Our bodies are so unique in the way we process and digest foods. We’re individual in our tastes and how our bodies respond with a particular way of eating.
One thing that keeps coming back to me over and over and over again are these three principles taken from the book, “What The Bible Says About Healthy Living” by Rex Russell, M.D.
1. Eat the Foods God Created for You.
2. Don’t Alter God’s Design.
3. Don’t Let Any Food or Drink Become your God.
Keeping these three principles in mind, you can move forward and create ANY eating plan that will serve your body well. I love that God keeps it so simple. There is NEVER any confusion when you go to Him and allow Him to flow in and through you with wisdom, understanding and knowledge. His ways are so much higher, but He shares His ways by giving us the Mind of Christ.
Press into Him. Seek Him first. He will add everything else you need if you do.
Matthew 6:33
My child, My grace is sufficient for you. I am your healer. I am your God. Cling to Me in times of trouble and pursue Me when you are weary. I will bring strength to your bones and peace to your heart. Be strong and courageous and consider it all joy. For I am producing endurance in you.
2 Corinthians 12:9 James 1:2&3
My child, I am coming swiftly to redeem My bride. I will deal with those who have been unjust. I will repay those who have persecuted My church. I will punish those who have inflicted pain and suffering. I am God and vengeance is Mine. I have called you to pray, love and forgive. I have chosen you to be My mouthpiece, My hands and My feet. I have given you the mandate to proclaim My Name, to make My Name known to a lost and hurting world. Do not lose hope and do not grow weary. My plan and purpose is being established on this earth. Hope in Me. Preach the Good News. I will return and redeem My pure and spotless bride.
Romans 12:19
My child, wait on Me. Wait in My Presence and listen for My Voice. For in My Presence is wisdom and joy, comfort and strength, encouragement and healing. Everything you need can be found by waiting in My Presence. Don’t rush our time together. Linger here. Be filled by all I desire to give you. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Matthew 5:6
My child, I want all of you. All of your heart, all of your mind and all of your soul. Give Me your all and I will give you My all. My Holy Spirit will live in and through you as you open yourself to Me. You will see more of Me and more of My miracles. You must decrease, then I will increase.
John 3:30
My child, learn to hang onto Me with everything you’ve got. Trust Me and believe Me even when everything seems to be reeling out of control. I am your Peace. I am your Refuge. Depend on Me for everything.
My child, I am a consuming fire. I am coming to shake the heavens and the earth. Whatever is not grounded in Me will be removed. I did not come to bring peace to the earth, but a sword. Take your cross and follow Me. Lose your life for My sake and find out what you were always meant to be.
Hebrews 12:29 Matthew 10: 34-39
My child, I want to spark that flame in your heart. I want to set you ablaze with My love and My Presence. My desire and passion is for you My Bride. Hold fast to Me. Rest in My Presence. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain when you come and abandon yourself to Me.
