Spiritual Health

Here’s the truth. You are not alone who experiences fears or the only one struggling and fighting to survive.

On a daily basis we each have our own battles and how we choose to respond or react will determine the outcome.

Lately, I’ve been battling with my body; allowing fear to take over. But the devil doesn’t have to win. I’m thankful that I have a God; a powerful, loving, caring God who knows my fears, who see’s me for who I am & loves me enough to fight along side me.

When it comes to our health and future there’s nothing more important than your relationship with God. The more you develop and grow in that relationship the more it will help with your next battle. Are you prepared?

Like the runner who trains consistently for a race and takes heed to the advice of a mentor so should we as believers be a part of a church that supports and guides us in our personal walk with God.

Matthew 18:20 says this “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Like a diet restricting one from certain ingredients and habits that are unhealthy, so ought we be mindful of what we intake. God gave us a spirit of discernment and there will come a time where you'll have to answer: Is what I’m about to do, who I’m about to see or where I’m about to go pleasing to God? If not, don’t be afraid to make a change and remove that toxic, unhealthy, poisonous thorn out of your life. If something or someone is causing you to stumble then maybe it’s time to let it go. When we let go of those toxins we draw closer to God.

Proverbs 22:24-25 says this “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.”

Like a student studying intently for an exam, so should we use the tools that God gave us to have victory over our battles. God left us with His Word, a book full of hope and truth. Study the Bible intently, don’t just read but allow the words to be beacon of hope and your defense against those who persecute you.

Ephesians 6:17 says this “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Like medicine aiding in our physical struggles so should our prayer life strengthen and aid in our relationship with God. Pray without ceasing; cast all of your cares on Him and He will listen. God hears your prayers; don’t be afraid to talk to Him.

Philippians 4:6 says this “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

Trust in God to keep you healthy: physically, mentally, emotionally and most of all spiritually.
