10 steps to good health
A lot of times when bad things happen, we are not spiritually prepared to deal with them. Well, you might not know exactly what to do, but I can help point you in the right direction. This outline is by no means exhaustive, nor is it a special formula. We live in this world, but are not of this world. We need to delicately consider all things involved in relation to one's health. There is a healthy balance of faith and wisdom and plain old common sense. But first and foremost is our faith...
1. Salvation.
If you are not saved or would like to recommit Your life to Jesus Christ, please go to our Salvation page and come back once you are renewed. This does not mean that God doesn't heal the unsaved. I recently heard a well-known man of God say "God heals the unsaved because of His mercy. God heals the believer because of His Covenant." It is God's will that all be saved. It is also God's will that all would be well. While you are at it, why not search your heart and see if there is any unforgiveness towards another. How do you think God will forgive you if you won't forgive someone else? (3 John 1:2, John 3:15-16, 2
2. Read the Word.
This is one sure way to build your faith! Better yet, read it out loud! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. As a Christian, you can't do anything in God without your faith. Faith brings you beyond believing to knowing. Build your spiritual muscles. Don't just believe, be fully convinced! Why do YOU believe? Can YOU be moved when the pressure is on? All it takes is faith as small as a mustard seed -- but, you have to plant a seed , water it, give it sunlight, prune the plant... the seed is just the beginning. Cultivate your faith, take care of it. Let the roots go down deep. Watch it grow. YOU CAN move mountains. (Romans
5. Sow seed toward your healing.
Exercise your faith for someone else's healing. Pray for others who are sick. Support a healing ministry. Get creative! Recently, I had to go have an MRI done. I dreaded going to the hospital. I decided to use it as an opportunity to sow seed. I made healing scripture bookmarks. My mother and I passed them out at the hospital. We even left them in the bathroom! I was sowing seed toward their healing and mine as well. I sowed seed, it is God who will make it grow. But without my sowing, how could I be looking for a harvest? Ask God to show you where your seed is. (Gen. 8:22, 2 Cor. 9:9-1 )
6. Confess your healing.
Speak the Word of God! Even when you don't feel well, give one answer to everyone, "I'm doing better every day." If you want, You can add "just keep me in your prayers." They'll get the point. Always remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue. You don't have to deny the symptoms, just deny their right to be there. Don't complain about it. You don't want to curse yourself with your own words. Read healing scriptures out loud and confess them as yours! Take authority over the enemy! He must obey the Word! Speak to your body. Tell it to line up! (Pro. 18:2, Matt. 12:36-37, James 1:26)
7. Praise and Worship.
Get in His Presence. How could you not get healed. Just one touch. In His presence is fullness of joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength. A merry heart is good like a medicine... Even when you don't physically feel good, you will notice that you feel better in His presence. The praise and worship isn't only for God, it is also for you. It strengthens your soul and spirit as well! Worship can bring deliverance. Music is powerful! (Heb. 10:22, Ps.
8. Renew Your mind.
This is another reason you need the scriptures! They will help you keep your focus. The enemy can and does exaggerate things. You will have a hard time receiving your healing if you concentrate on the negative. Feelings will lie, don't let them dictate to you. It will cause you to be double minded. Have you ever felt like you were walking in circles? Another thing you need to consider is: Are you thankful for what you do have? If not, change your perspective and find something to be grateful for. It's all in how you choose to look at things. Offer up thanksgiving!(Rom. 12:2, James 1:8, James 4:8, Psalm 100:4, 1 Thes. 5:18 )
