The Lord has been speaking to me very strongly for quite a while now about being physically healthy. I believe this message is not only for me, but for everyone who will hear. If you listen with spiritual ears, you will hear the wisdom in the practical and spiritual application of getting healthy – as much as we can affect it by our own disciplines and actions. Then, and only then, should we need the grace of God for His supernatural intervention for healing – the kind of healing He paid for with His life and provided in His atonement on the Cross.
One of the prophets who visited us recently, Bob Hartley, gave us a warning about five waves of supernatural challenge for 2011. We will be talking about these waves in the days to come. They are especially meaningful and poignant to me because God gave me a dream about huge waves that are coming against His people. When God speaks, He usually confirms what we’ve heard out of the mouths of two or three others.
One of the waves to watch out for Bob called the “Nanny State”. It is characterized by false dependencies we may have upon the government or system to “take care of” us. One of the ways this happens is through entitlements such as healthcare and prescription drugs. In the days that are coming and are soon to arrive, we will not survive if our dependence is on anything but the Lord Jesus and the Kingdom of God.
We do need to be healthy for what’s ahead – physically as well as spiritually. Some of us won’t make it through the Times of Trouble that are very soon upon us if we aren’t at our physical best. What will you do when you can’t get prescription drugs for diabetes or for your other health issues? What will you do if the anti-christ system says you have to have the mark of the beast in order to be eligible for prescription medications and other government entitlements?
Isn’t it better to correct health issues now – if you can – by adjusting your eating and exercising habits? Isn’t it better to have your physical body in the best possible condition now instead of waiting for God to fix things? I will show you my faith, by my works!
Some people think I can be a little over-the-top in my passion and quest for healthy living. Perhaps they are right. But when the Lord speaks to me about something, I have learned to pay attention and trust that there’s a reason to be concerned and so impressed to deliver this message to my viewers who have an ear to hear.
A word the Lord spoke to me recently is “stop soothing the saints and start stirring them!” I am usually hesitant to be so strong with people, yet I know what I heard from Him. There is a time for everything, and to everything a purpose under heaven. So the purpose I have in stirring people to take action in becoming healthy is to prepare them for the soon-coming snares and traps that we may fall into if we depend on natural sources for our well-being.
Yes, the Lord is graceful, and even when we don’t do those things we know we should, perhaps He will intervene and supernaturally provide the healing we need. Yet, the Bible says that “he who knows to do right, and doesn’t do it – to him it is sin”.
We sometimes forget the admonishments of God in His Word, while we love to capitalize on His grace and mercy. But, it’s time now for the full counsel of the Word. It’s time now for the truth. It’s time now to get ready and be ready for the Times of Trouble.
Romans 6: 1,2: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that ‘grace’ may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
Romans 6: 14,15: “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!”
Hebrews 10: 29: “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of ‘grace?”
God loves you – He really does! And I love you too!

I do believe we must learn as much as possible on eating healthy! The knowledge is out there & as Bible says knowledge will be increased. If we dont who will do it for us? Not the medical industry..they were never taught nutrition & never had to learn it! Which is almost unreal! Try to stay away from High Fruitcose, GMO Foods & drinks & MSG as much as possible. The less you eat of this- the better. Your body was divinely created & able to withstand some abuse & able to get rid of some toxins on its own. One thing I rarely hear or read though ~ we need to pray over our foods & ask God to bless it! A tip on how to rembember so much info- if you find an article-dont go putting it away somewhere..post it somewhere- where you can see it daily! I have reserved a small part of my wall to post things & also have a bulletin board. Make a HEALTHY RECIPE BOOK for yourself. The more live foods you eat ( and the less *FAKE* FOODS) the more you provide your body with crucial enzymes & create healthy cells. So important to cut back on sugar-whether you are healthy or not…cuz its not good for anyone!! So take time to learn & take time to pray..& hopefully YOU will BE eating more God given food instead of man made or man corrupted foods!! May God bless you & keep you in good health- make God rich in your hearts & minds and food industries- less rich
Right on! It took me three tries to read that little short pryaer and read it correctly. It truly IS an example of the wordiness and terribly poor sentence structure in the new mass! The new Creed is written in first person ( I believe in one God can we turn to our neighbor in church and ask during the Creed I believe in on God do you??? ) and the Creed is one GIANT run-on sentence. It has the three parts of the Trinity addressed but without beginning each with I believe in God I believe in Jesus Christ I believe in the Holy Spirit no, instead each begins with and in What a joke! We need as Catholic Christians to encourage MORE people to join our church and to make our young adults WANT to attend church. It’s a constant struggle, but once they hear this often complex, wordy and sometimes just silly ( Lord I am not worthy that You should come under MY roof what?!?! whose church is it anyway?), they will want to attend church alright just NOT ours! There is a reason why praise music is being welcomed into our churches now it’s fun, it’s spiritual and it’s appealing. Keeping bringing in praise music and enjoyable things to our churches that way when this hideous new mass hits next year, we can still have fun and be spiritually fed during our liturgy. Amen.
I think some of you missed my pontis completely. Come under MY roof whose church are we talking about? What was spiritually wrong with saying Lord, I am not worthy to receive You ? That was right to the point. We are sinners and thus we are not worthy of any of the love and blessings our Lord grants us. It is through His Son Jesus Christ that we stand before our Father forgiven of our sins. This is basic Christianity 101. We are not in any way worthy of God’s love. Saying instead that we are not worthy that God should come under our roof while we are in church is not only weird, but also sounds like we are elevating ourselves to a status equal to or just under God. As a child, I was always taught and rightly so, that the church is God’s house. By saying under my roof or anything like that, it sounds as if we are stealing away God’s presence in our church building. It also neglects to remind us that we are sinners. We are going from saying I am not worthy to receive You (due to sin and impurity) to a level of talking about a building. As for the Creed in first-person if I am sitting in my room quietly in prayer and want to focus on MY personal faith or am sharing that faith with another person, I can easily say I believe. If we are gathered as a COMMUNITY of believers, then it sounds like my brothers and sisters in Christ are being ignored I believe OR we [all] believe ? I cannot make this argument easier than this.
