How to Legally Escape the Health Insurance Trap

The healthcare industry in many cases has become nothing more than a legal drug dispensary.

I would rather put my health in my own hands by applying the Biblical Principles of Wellness so I can be all that God has designed me to be. After all, He does claim to be the Lord, my Healer. I believe Him.

Principle #5: Completeness Under God’s Design

In order to fully understand the principles of this website, one cannot look at the individual pieces and make a judgment.

Just as with a puzzle, before the picture can be determined, each piece must be in its proper place. Even if one piece is missing, the puzzle is not complete. So the reader should not draw any final conclusions about biblical health until all the pieces are presented in their proper order – and as a whole unit.

The Scriptures contain a plethora of information concerning health, but the information is found not in one chapter and verse, but throughout the Scripture there are many different pieces of information, biblical health principles, that when unified into one whole unit will help us understand how we can regain our health.

We are going to put together a cogent picture, principle by principle and root cause by root cause, until we have constructed the systemic wellness approach.

This simple principle of Completeness Under God’s Design, concludes this series on Five Designer Principles of Living.

As a recap: The Five Designer Principles of Living are:

  1. Living Under God’s Design
  2. Simplicity Under God’s Design
  3. Faith Under God’s Design
  4. Systemic Wellness Under God’s Design
  5. Completeness Under God’s Design

5 Designer Principles for Living: Introduction

Let’s Recap!

So far on Reformed Health we have explored three basic topics:

We will now explore five authoritative principles for living that will put anyone on the path to a healthier life – regardless of current illnesses and/or conditions or lack thereof. These principles will educate people how to avoid violations of the natural and physical laws that God has established for mankind.

Thinking Properly

Before we discuss these health principles, we need to be willing to take a potentially new approach to how health is achieved – this may require that we make a major shift in our thinking process. This was addressed in some detail in the Authoritative Answers section, but for the sake of expediency, we will briefly address it here.

We often grow up from early childhood thinking that there is only a particular way of diagnosing ill health. We learn this by the example of our parents, our school teachers, our peers, the medical establishment, and in general the culture we live in.

This approach, in most cases, is not the way God has ordained, and it is the primary reason why illness and disease persist and increase. In particular, diseases that once only affected the elderly are now being found increasingly in the younger generations, including young adults, teenagers, and children, illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis, and high blood pressure.

Why?

We espouse that a large part of the problem is that God and His Word are simply ignored (for the most part) in areas involving healthy living. But for those few who do look into His Word, they often do not find the answers they are looking for and become discouraged. As a result, they turn to sources outside of Scripture in order to find a cure that will make them whole again.

Approaching God’s Holy Word

The problem can be identified in how a person approaches the Scripture.  We cannot approach Scripture with the same mindset that the world has in finding cures to our health problems. Our mindset must change – there must be a paradigm shift in our thinking. Thus, we need to take a new approach. We need to align ourselves with how the Word diagnoses ill health and view our own lives through the lens of Scripture and the design that God has for living.

We will be presenting five biblical guidelines to help us think radically different than we are accustomed. These principles may not harmonize with the beliefs, worldviews, or practices of the world around us in regards to the achievement of a healthy life. But they will perfectly align with the Word of God. This should not be a surprise to the Christian; God’s ways are always different than man’s ways.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Why Am I Sick? Reason #6: Because of Demonic Possession or Influence

Can Christians Be Possessed?

In America today we are not as aware of the existing spiritual realm as other nations or cultures. This lack of awareness does not negate the influence of spiritual beings.

Every Bible believing Christian must accept the existence of angels and demons, for the Bible talks about them as very real. However, we believe very strongly that true Christians can not be possessed by demonic spirits, for they are indeed possessed by the Holy Spirit.

We also acknowledge that Continue reading “Why Am I Sick? Reason #6: Because of Demonic Possession or Influence”

How the Lord Used Truth and Action to Deliver Me From Depression

The Roots of My Depression: A Personal Testimony by Mischelle Sandowich

In this testimony of my personal recovery from depression, I will make no claims to have all the answers for depression. There are many factors that can lead a person down the road of hopelessness and despair. Sleeplessness, pain, drugs, prescription medications, life’s circumstances, monthly cycles, poor diet, alcohol, wrong thinking, and many other factors can contribute to depression.

If you have ever found yourself lying on the couch as though a heavy rock had trapped you there, with a sink load of dishes, a house cluttered with several days of paper, clothes, books, and other stuff, and the certainty that you could do nothing about any of it, then you have experienced depression.

Introduction: Why Am I Sick? 7 Biblical Reasons

Why Am I Sick?

Why me? Why am I sick? Why?

We have all heard this question asked, or even asked it at some point in our life.

The Bible says in Psalms 84:11, “For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”

If God withholds “no good thing” from those who walk uprightly, then it is understandable to ask, “Why do I have this sickness or chronic condition?”

To gain an understanding as to why we get sick, why we contract a disease, or why our bodies do not function properly, we need to Continue reading “Introduction: Why Am I Sick? 7 Biblical Reasons”

Seek Ye First God or the Physician?

Authoritative Answers: Part Two

In the first part of this discussion, we looked at how King Ahaziah sought the god of Ekron concerning his illness rather than the God of the Bible.

Ahaziah was a pagan, idolatrous king, so one might expect him to seek counsel outside of God’s Word. It could be reasoned that as Christians we are not like Ahaziah, and therefore his situation does not really apply to us.

In addition, the story of Ahaziah may not be enough evidence to prove that seeking Continue reading “Seek Ye First God or the Physician?”

The False Gods of America

Authoritative Answers For Health: Part One, Section B

In the previous post, we learned that Ahaziah did not seek the true God to find the answers to his health condition, and accordingly, he died because of it.

We left off with this question:

Are we in America any different? Which gods do we seek for answers? Continue reading “The False Gods of America”

Reason #6: To Demonstrate God’s Love to Others

Are You Loving Others as Well as You Could?

We can demonstrate love to others by seeking good health.

If you are anything like me, you feel useless when you spend a day out of commission. There is so much work that needs to be done, and you cannot do much when you can barely get out of bed. When I find myself in this condition, I sometimes feel bad about putting the extra burden on my family.

Have you ever felt this way? Continue reading “Reason #6: To Demonstrate God’s Love to Others”
