Seek Ye First God or the Physician?

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

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?” →

Praying in Vain

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

To Whom Should We Go for Authoritative Answers: Part One, Section C

The previous post introduced the issue of praying for wisdom in regards to our health.

Praying in Vain

If we ask God to heal us, or give us wisdom, or give wisdom to our doctor, but we have never sought God through His Word, but have idols in our hearts, our prayers could be in vain.

Consider this example from Ezekiel. Continue reading “Praying in Vain” →

The False Gods of America

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

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” →

Is There No God In America?

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Authoritative Answers About Health: Part One, Section A

Theme Verse: I Corinthians 3:19a: For the wisdom of men is foolishness before God.

The practice of putting trust in others besides God is not new; it has been occurring since the beginning of time. There are many examples in the Scriptures, and when it happens, God is not pleased. But how does this relate to health?

Let us explore the story of Ahaziah, a man with an illness, and see how God responds to him when he does not go to the Word of God to seek answers to his health condition. Continue reading “Is There No God In America?” →

Do All Things To The Glory of God

And finally, the 7th reason we should seek God’s Word concerning our health: to bring Him glory.

The Bible clearly teaches that in everything we do, we are to bring glory to God. I Corinthians 10:31 says this, “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

We also know from I Corinthians 6:19 that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?”

And what is to be our response? Continue reading “Reason #7: To Bring Glory To God” →

Reason #5: To Preserve Life

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Can Auschwitz Happen in America?

Warning! This may take you out of your comfort zone.

We need to have biblical answers to our health so that we can protect our life, if need be.

This is not only about protecting our lives from ill health. We must protect ourselves from those who may have the power to decide if we live or die. Continue reading “Reason #5: To Preserve Life” →

Reason #4: We Can Develop a Greater Trust in God’s Word

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Does God Know More Than Your Doctor?

God has given us everything necessary for life and godliness through the knowledge of His Son, Jesus Christ (II Peter 1:3). Jesus Christ was the living testimony of God. The Bible is our testimony of Jesus. If we need to find out anything pertaining to life and godliness, we need to go to His Word!

Do you want to grow in your trust of God’s Word? Begin applying His Word to your health.

As we grow in our trust of God’s Word regarding health and we begin to apply His principles, we will see the positive results, and our faith in an amazing God who is an awesome designer will grow.

Have you ever been afraid to do something that God asks of you? Continue reading “Reason #4: We Can Develop a Greater Trust in God’s Word” →

Reason #3: Poor Health Can Hinder or Eliminate Ministry

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Poor Health Can Hinder or Eliminate Ministry

While Christ Jesus was on earth, He gave us the ultimate example of a servant. Matthew 20:28 tells us that the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve. He demonstrated His service to mankind in many ways, including the ultimate service of giving His own life. Is this what God requires of us?

Reason #2: God’s Word Talks About Health

Posted on by Mischelle Sandowich

Why you should study health from a biblical perspective?

When God Talks, Everyone Should Listen

As children of God, we need to know what God says about health simply because the Bible talks about it. II Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” If all Scripture is profitable, and if the Bible discusses health and nutrition, it too must be profitable to study and apply.

Today, with the rising incidents of disease and illness in the church, the need has never been greater to seek and share the timely topic of health from a Christian and biblical worldview.

Paul boasted in Act 20:27 that he did not shrink back from declaring the whole counsel of God, and we have no lesser responsibility. All Scripture is profitable. How can we teach the whole counsel of God if we neglect to seek God’s counsel on health?

The Bible talks about health, therefore we have the responsibility to seek, know, apply, and share this information with others. And inasmuch as we have the power to remain healthy and be good stewards of the temples that God has given us, we should strive for excellence.

The next post will discuss how our health can affect our ministry and service to God, our creator.
