Week #1 - Speak LIFE!

Week #1 in the 90 Day Challenge to Restoring and Maintaining Physical and Emotional HEALTH - Speak LIFE! This is HUGE!

The Bible has a LOT to say on the power of words - you can do a word study on this by searching for "What does the Bible say about the power of words?" Dr. David Stewart in "The Healing Oils of the Bible" says, "Sickness may come as a wake-up call for us to stop, introspect, figure out what we may have done to get ourselves into this situation, and then repent- that is, make whatever changes are necessary in our lifestyles to remedy the problem and prevent it from happening again. This is a hard thing for many people to accept - the idea that they may be, to one extent or another, personally responsible for many of the illnesses they suffer. They would rather believe that they suffer heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis, cancer, etc., because they are random victims of fate. The Bible suggests otherwise, "The curse causeless does not come." (Proverbs 26:2)

So, what do you do? #1 thing you do is to speak words of LIFE instead of words of disease and death! This is so powerful! Do you know that you can make yourself sick just by confessing that you are sick - that you do not feel well, that you have a disease. Do not accept any disease that you may have been labeled with - people accept these labels and then begin saying, "Well, you know, MY arthritis is acting up again" or MY diabetes or heart murmur or cancer, or fibromyalgia, or on and on and on it goes. Do you know that you do NOT have to accept ANY disease label or any other label that people place on you? You don't! If the doctor tells you that you have cancer, you can either accept that label or you can say, "I have been healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ and NO sickness or disease has any authority over me!" And that's what you confess over and over. It's the TRUTH! You may have symptoms, which the devil, not God, has given you, but they are not real! They may FEEL real and LOOK real, but just think of them as special effects. Hey, did you watch "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" with Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing after they had died, but looking just like they did 40 years ago? Computer Generated Imagery! If man can do this, just think what Satan can do! It's always a choice - OUR choice, of whether we want to be sick or healthy, of whether we want life or death. God gives US the freedom to choose - do we believe that He says or what Satan is telling us? God says, "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." Deut. 30:19

So, we pray and thank God that He has already healed us of any sickness or disease that we could ever experience, and we confess that the symptoms must leave, as we repent - remember, our bad choices probably led to this condition we are in. So the #1 thing to start on the journey to health and wellness is to confess and believe that we are HEALED! We speak words of LIFE over ourselves instead of words of sickness and disease. Our brains believe what we tell it and act accordingly - if you have a problem with toxic thoughts and emotions, please check out Dr. Caroline Leaf - her books, her blogs, her 21 Day Detox to detox your brain - http://drleaf.com/about/.
