My personal view in regard to this topic is one I have a passion for. As a wife and mother of two children and a Daughter of Zion, I feel that since I am in COVENANT relationship with Father God as a Joint Heir in Christ, I have a RESPONSIBILITY to present my body as a Living Sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is my reasonable service to him. Every thing I have belongs to him for his use if and when He so desires to have need of it, this includes my body. How in the world will I be any good as a witness for him full of disease (which is DIS-ORDER or a OUT OF ORDER body), especially the degenerative diseases out there today that are TOTALLY preventable with proper PROACTIVE nutritional and healthy lifestyle? Will he get any GLORY out of that? I don’t think so. For God to be glorified in our bodies there must be a standard that sets us apart (sanctified) from the WORLD. We are to be like the children of Israel when Egyptians were in the gross darkness they had LIGHT. We are in this world but we are not to be OF this world.
I trust Him to sustain me and I accept the responsibility of doing the right thing as best I can, with the knowledge I gain through FOCUSING on this area in my life. What you focus on expands. My focus or vision to give God the Glory is to take care of this body to the point I will be like Sarah or Esther as I continue to age. I want to be like Caleb who stated at the age of 85 that he was as strong as he was at the age of 40 when he went to spy out the land and came back with a good report and wholly followed the Lord. With this vision and hope I make sure there are funds somewhere to have the ability to do what it takes to be healthy, strong and full of vitality. You hear so much these days of people saying how tired they are, the blood pressure is up and now on meds, blood sugar issues, cholesterol is high, digestive issues that has them on the purple pill for the rest of their lives. All of these issues can be dealt with through nutrition!!!
We can NOT afford to be ignorant of this issue. The word declares; it is not God’s will for us to be ignorant. I thank God that it was a couple of minor health problems that the doctors could not help cure with natural or nutritional advice that has placed me on the path of seeking God and His leading and guiding me down a path of nutrition that has kept me away from those individuals in the white coats that are PRACTING medicine. I would rather have someone that knows what they are doing vs. practicing on me. I tell you the truth I had one doctor tell me at the end of a visit “here TRY this”. I think that statement was the straw that broke the camel’s back and caused me to seek the LORD in EARNEST concerning my situation. Thank God prayer works. I am NOT negating this fact at all. We are not to live a life of carelessness and ignorance that is going to cause us to end up in a doctors office for something rather small and can be handled with nutrition while it’s in it’s manageable stage and end up with 14 or more prescriptions to be on after a series of appointments with the one practicing on you for the rest of your life.
o He gave the food for us to consume, which is the WORD of God that is Life to those that find the wisdom in it and Health to all their FLESH. God has given us natural earthly food as well, however the food that is in the earth today is not the same as it was some years ago in regard to QUALITY nutritionally. There are some reasons for the decrease in quality food. 1. The soil our food is produced in is virtually DEPLETED of the necessary nutrients SEED needs to produce food with the intended nutritive value God originally intended. 2. We are being introduced to more and more GENETICALLY MODIFIED food to which one can not tell the difference as a lay person and not to mention the types of Pesticides and Fertilizers that goes into the food production. For example most of the soy bean crops today are genetically modified with a WEED FERTIZIER IN THE SEED. The company that is responsible for this modification is Monsanto in California. Monsanto's Work with Soybeans
In 1996, Monsanto launched Roundup Ready soybeans. For more information on this company go to www.monsantoag.com. I can really understand the need for prayer over food more than ever for this day and age. The Tomatoe has been genetically modified with the gene of a fish. Have ya noticed how the tomatoes come on the vine these days? Wonder why that is?
3. Processed food is not a very wise source of food for health and vitality what so ever. It is usually high in salt and or sugar and all kinds of other ingredients that just go on and on and you don’t know what you are really consuming unless you are into chemistry or some field of science that would provide you with that knowledge.
Regarding the issue of smoking one should not engage in such activities, even though I have done so, my Father God has delivered me from that I don’t condemn any one that has not kicked the habit. The risk one takes with continuing is enormous. Did you know formaldehyde is in cigarettes in addition to other dangerous toxins that jeopardizes the health of those around you with the second hand smoke? You also are putting yourself at risk for upper respiratory illness and or cancer. We have to Love God and ourselves before we can truthfully say we love someone else. Charity starts at home, with you loving you first. This is demonstrated in the CARE of your body and what you put into it and what you do for it to experience the LIFE and vitality that Jesus came to give us in abundance. The word says I foolish person tears down their house with their own hand. The wise person builds their house with due diligence (Bev’s paraphrase if you will). So we have to be aware of even the very air quality we breathe today as this is another area to consider when talking about caring for the temple. Our homes are the most polluted environments we spend a great deal of our time in. This is because of the construction of the home with the energy efficient homes that trap more containments in the home with the use of the Toxic chemicals we use from day to day, no wonder LUNG CANCER is the leading cause of cancer death in women. *** and Colon cancer comes in second and third place. Asthma is up in women and women are more likely to die from this disorder.
Developing a healthy lifestyle, Temple Maintenance has been made VERY EASY with a support network of over 70k people from a family that is very secret, the family of Shaklee members. We have very health contentious people that have been on the path of healthy living for 50 years or more as the oldest Shaklee member is 102 years old and able to walk alone down stage at the last family reunion that is at ones disposal to learn how to stay healthy.
The founder, Dr. Forrest Shaklee (Forrest means keeper of the forest) was a preacher that God allowed to develop what we now call the Multi-vitamin for such a time as this.
This is an amazing company with amazing products that are PURE (Kosher certified even on our non toxic cleaners), Proven (published research in medical journals, peer review periodicals and clinical studies), their nutritional products contain NO SYNTHETIC ingredients. You will NOT SEE KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN on their labels except for iron. Their products are potent. They pack a good punch to deliver the results they say the products do. The Shaklee Corporation is the Leader in the Wellness industry with a rich heritage of Leadership, Integrity and Corporate Social Responsibility by being the FIRST in the world to be certified “Climate Neutral” by the Climate Neutral Network. They have demonstrated the ability to produce goods and conduct business without harming the environment by offsetting greenhouse emissions and not leaving a carbon footprint in the environment.
I am GLAD one of the family members turned me on to THIS SECRET, so I can turn you on by having you go through our web site to see for yourself a hidden company that is committed to creating healthier and happier lives. Check it out at www.shaklee.net/bjulien_thearkofwellness to see for yourself. I chose Shaklee and their products because they are #1, the best, and top of the line product producer. What does #2 bring to mind when you think on it? That is another reason for choosing Shaklee. Why settle for second best when I am a Daughter of Zion trying to look like Sarah!!! God Bless you on today.
