What is "Good Health"?

In 3 John 2 it says:
"Beloved, I pray, that in all respects you may
prosper and be in good health, just as your
soul prospers".

Many Christians are searching for answers
for the cause of their disease. Or looking
how to prevent major disease in their life.
They turn to yoga for exercise, energy work
for healing, ayurvedic medicine for supplements,
vegetarianism for a new way of eating - and
the list goes on.

In my 30 years of working in Alternative
Medicine I have never seen any of these healing
methods work totally. And I can add hundreds of therapies
to that list that have failed miserably as
well.

Then why are Christians turning to them?

Because there IS a measure of success with
these methods. Otherwise people would not
be using them. But the fullness of health
that God wants us to have doesn't come from
these modalities. The Lord wants us to be
free of ALL diseases, but not at the price
of putting a way of eating/healing before HIM.

The focus must be on feeling good each and
everyday we walk in His kingdom. Did I say
feeling excellent?? Noooo, there's definitely
days that we might suffer from minor colds,
headaches, fatigue, etc. But on the whole,
our health can be at a level far and above
what we're experiencing

To achieve this level of health there are
3 components that most of us are familiar
with - physical, emotional, spiritual or
body, mind, spirit. But I like to go deeper.

Most of us like to go the simple route of
finding out what supplement or medication
to take to get rid of an ailment.

The challenge with that is that nine times
out of ten, the disease comes back!
I like it when the disease leaves and NEVER
comes back. YEAH!

So the true meaning of "good health" is
to be free of diseases, have the peace of
God that passes all understanding, and feel
joyful!

Until next time,
