GOD’S AMAZING DESIGN!
I have heard it said that your food can be your best medicine or a poison that leads to a slow death. Choices matter. God is our CREATOR. That is not just a religious concept. He created us…spirit, soul and BODY. And He gave us an owner’s manual/instructions…the Bible. If we bought a man-made device, wouldn’t we read the manual/instructions that came with it of how to put it together, use and care, etc.? That should certainly be true concerning God’s instruction manual for LIFE….a healthy, prosperous, productive life, with purpose and meaning! One that is worth passing on to the next generation. In a physical world which He ALSO delegated to us to steward well. And we have failed miserably. BUT THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE WITH GOD!!! Repentance and renewal are also not just a religious or spiritual concept. It’s for our physical life, as well!!! For example, here are some of the things I have discovered on just the subject of health and nutrition. EVERYONE from Adam to Noah lived HUNDREDS of years…365 years, 777 years, and several well over 900 years (Genesis 5) with just the instructions in Genesis 1:29 “And God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant growing throughout the earth, vegetables, and every fruit-bearing tree with its seed within itself. They will be your food.’ This was taught from father to son and mother to daughter through all those generations. Noah was 600 years old when he built the ark…a MASSIVE structure (and it still exists, by the way). Talk about a strong, healthy, vigorous and robust “older” man! With only his 3 sons to help him. They didn’t have a lumber store to get their supplies from. They did it all from the forest….and followed God’s instructions. And they took all the food for themselves and the animals into the ark, which lasted them for just over a year. Then God gave Noah permission for the first time to eat meat, telling him to make sure that the blood was completely drained out before eating it. Noah lived another 350 years, 950 total. But his son only lived 600 years. The lifespan of the following generations continued to reduce to around 200 years (Genesis 11). I am convinced that this is because of the addition of meat to their diet. And that was before the chemicals and hormones and GMO feed with chemical pesticides and fertilizers that are in meats today! Another example in scripture is in Daniel 1, with Daniel and his 3 friends who persuaded their overseer to test them by allowing them to eat only vegetables and drink water for 10 days while the others ate choice meats and wine from the king’s table. At the end of the 10 days there was a noticeable difference in their appearance. So, they were allowed to continue with only vegetables and water during the 3 year training period before entering the king’s service. By the time the king was ready to choose from those in training to enter his service, he found Daniel and friends to be 10 TIMES BETTER in all areas of wisdom and understanding THAN EVEN the king’s magicians in ALL the land. What goes on in my body affects my mind, psyche, etc. too!!! Our whole being! It’s all connected in God’s AMAZING design!❤️
TURNING HEARTS
“He will go before the Lord as a forerunner, with the same power and anointing as Elijah the prophet. He will be instrumental in turning the hearts of the fathers in tenderness back to their children and the hearts of the disobedient back to the wisdom of their righteous fathers. And he will prepare a united people who are ready for the Lord’s appearing.””

Who is ruling over me?…telling me what to do?
““How could you worship two gods at the same time? You will have to hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t worship the true God while enslaved to the god of money!””

RENEW AND RESTORE
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”

WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED
Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished. Luke 1:45
UTTERLY TRUSTWORTHY
“And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you].”

ALL…..TURNED TO THE LORD!
“As Peter was ministering from place to place, he visited God’s devoted ones in the village of Lydda. He met a man there named Aeneas who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Anointed One instantly and divinely heals you. Now, get up and make your bed.” All at once he stood to his feet. And when all the people of Lydda and Sharon saw him, they became believers in the Lord. Now, there was a follower of Jesus who lived in Joppa. Her Aramaic name, Tabitha, means “gazelle.” She lived her life doing kind things for others and serving the poor. But then she became very ill and died. After the disciples prepared her body for burial, they laid her in an upstairs room. When the believers heard that Peter was nearby in Lydda, they sent two men with an urgent message for him to come without delay. So Peter went with them back to Joppa, and upon arriving they led him to the upper room. There were many widows standing next to Peter, weeping. One after another showed him the tunics and other garments that Tabitha had made to bless others. Peter made them all leave the room. Then he knelt down and prayed. Turning to the dead body, he said, “Tabitha, rise up!” At once she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers and all the widows to come and see that she was alive! The news spread all over the city of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. Peter remained in Joppa for several more days as a guest at the house of Simon the tanner.”
