God's Health Laws:
Your Health and God's Natural System!

You might be wondering why the subject of God's health laws is included in a discussion about God. You may be surprised to learn that your health is an important aspect of life, as you might guess, but that health is ALSO intimately connected to God and His dealings with mankind.

God's health laws govern how the physical world we inhabit interacts with our human body. Being healthy because we understand and work with God's health laws means we can be better servants for Him. This definitely doesn't mean that if you are sick or have some problem with your health or body, that you CAN'T have a relationship with God. Far from it. What you need to see is HOW the health of mankind has been affected by the same forces which have perverted God's truth, and for the same reasons.

In every aspect of mankind's societies, there are COUNTERFEITS that have been developed as a way of dealing with life's issues, including counterfeits for God's health laws. There isn't an area anyone could name that DOESN'T have a wrong twist to what is accepted as normal and right. Health is no exception. What better way to defeat an enemy than to weaken "his" health to the point that he is less able to accomplish his life's goals?

Mankind has achieved incredible things in the area of science and medicine over the years. We are able to deal with serious health problems with amazing drugs and surgical procedures. But ask yourself, "Does THIS system of "health care" seem like something God is responsible for? Does it seem logical that He would establish a system that COULDN'T function on its own and that we had to do battle with in order to "conquer" the natural forces that SEEM to be allied against us?

America at one time had the best health of any other country in the world. Today, America has the WORST health of any modern nation in the world, yet WE HAVE THE MOST ADVANCED MEDICAL AND DRUG-RELATED support system available on the planet. HOW CAN THIS PARADOX EXIST? It doesn't make any sense at all. We are fighting a LOSING battle, which means WE ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

In order to understand how God fits into this picture, you need to have the background of all the rest of the material available to you on the subject of God. Unless you understand where this is building from, you may miss some vital keys.

We have seen how these two superbeings actually created all matter out of their very nature, which is spirit. They "ordered" this system we know as "mother nature" into a pattern of regulating laws, causes and effects. We work with these "laws" on a regular basis. Gravity, thermodynamics, the laws of motion, etc. We take them for granted. However, these same laws run COMPLETELY through all physical matter and life. WHAT GOVERNS THE NATURAL WORLD ALSO GOVERNS US, AS PHYSICAL BEINGS.

Our very life processes are established along very specific patterns and are DESIGNED to function along specific parameters. If we know what these parameters are, we will benefit, Where we deviate from them, WE WILL SURELY PAY A PRICE just as sure as if we climb to the top of the Empire State Building and jump off. If we break these "LAWS" that govern our health, we WILL suffer for it, sooner or later.

The being we call God, designed and set into motion all that we know as nature. The natural world functions almost like a living thing. There is harmony and balance throughout the earth. without it, we would not live very long. Because mankind has powers no other life on earth has, WE CONCLUDE THAT WE ARE ABOVE THE NATURAL WORLD, and therefore need to CONQUOR it or FORCE it to OUR EXPECTATIONS.

In doing this, we completely fail to see how WE are just as much a part of the natural world as any animal on the earth. WE are just as subject to the same laws, causes and effects as the rest of the world is. So WHY DO WE ACT AS though WE AREN'T CONNECTED? Because we have been deceived into traveling down a wrong road that leads AWAY from the designed system into one that has become a MANIPULATED system, based on a wrong theory of evolution. By altering the natural system, whether environmentally OR in the human body, we set up a course of response BY the environment or human body that is a NATURAL RESULT OF OUR OWN ACTIONS.

It doesn't take a genius to see how these results are already being felt by much of the planet. We continue to abuse and neglect the natural system, and we continue to suffer for it. Only until we come to see that WE are the natural system, health will continue to suffer, and with it, mankind’s ability to respond and grow in the Hands of God.

Because there is so much MISINFORMATION and DISINFORMATION out there, it is a confusing mess of ideas, hopes, "procedures" and the like. This isn't to say that there haven't been some good things done by modern medicine. Many people's lives HAVE been helped, but we need to look at HOW and WHY this occurred.

The majority of modern medicine and drug therapy exists as a means to CORRECT problems brought on by neglecting to comply with the natural system. The degenerative diseases ARE NOT a mysterious occurrence that "HAPPENS" to people. There is a cause, and the cause IS NOT A LACK OF DRUGS OR SURGICAL PROCEDURES, anymore than a headache is an aspirin or Tylenol deficiency. Our problem ISN'T that we need MORE DRUGS OR MORE TECHNOLOGY.

Our problem is that we have CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE PATTERN AND SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY the most powerful being in the universe FOR OUR BENEFIT. We look to man's answers, and man's ideas of how to be healthy. Forces in our society have been continually fighting the most obvious solution available. Just as surely as God's spiritual truth has been under attack, so, too, has His designed natural system for our health and well being been attacked and downplayed.

The human body was designed to function with specific nutrients and activity. The natural world supplies all the nutrition our bodies need for perfect health. All the necessary biological building blocks are made available through this system. The activity comes through daily living and exercise. As long as the body has the proper elements, in the proper form, our bodies will function quite well. But here is where we really miss the boat.

Our society has moved so far from what the natural system supplies as to create an incredible mess when it comes to maintaining health. Instead of relying on food as God designed it to be supplied to our bodies, we alter, refine, remove elements, and add back partial elements, additives, preservatives, etc. This alteration is disaster for our health. It is impossible for our bodies to function properly under this kind of assault, and we are seeing the results all around us.

Regardless of what anyone or any group may say, unless we begin to utilize natural health care, there is little hope of achieving real lasting health. It is simply impossible unless we plug into the system God designed for us. We will simply be chasing our tails looking for the "answer" to our problems all the while not realizing that it is all around us.

Natural health care, in some form, has been around far longer than traditional medical care. It has persisted despite attempts to destroy and discredit it. There has to be a valid reason. If it didn't work, there wouldn't be enough support for it, and yet today, natural health care is growing rapidly. That's because it works.
