GOD’S HEALTH PLAN GOD’S HEALTH PLAN

•Isaiah 66: 15-17 Those who know the truth, BUT CONTINUES to eat swine and any other food calls an ABOMINATION ,will be consumed and Slain by the Lord when He comes because of their REBELION against the principles of HEAVEN.

•Genesis 1 : 29 God’s original diet for man was VEGETERIAN

•1 John 3 : 2,3 When we have the hope of JESUS’ coming, we will PURIFY ourselves as He is pure.

“The SANCTIFICATION set forth in the Scriptures embraces the ENTIRE BEING – SPIRIT, SOUL, BODY“The whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thes 5:23)

“Brethren, by the mercies of God ,present your bodies a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1)

To do this, all our powers must be preserved in the best possible CONDITION and every practice that WEAKENS physical or mental strength unfits man for the SERVICE of his CREATOR.

All of us who love God with all our hearts, will desire to give him THE BEST SERVICE of our lives, and we will be constantly seeking to bring every power of our being into harmony with the laws that will PROMOTE their ability to do His will.We will not, BY THE INDULGENCE OF APPETITE OR PASSION, weaken or defile the offering which we present to our heavenly Father.

“Abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the Soul” (I Peter 2 :11)

•Every sinful gratification tends to benumb the faculties and deaden the mental and spiritual perceptions, but the Word or Spirit of God can make a strong impression upon the heart if we allow it to happen.

•“Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2 Cor 7: 1)

•Fruits of spirits (temperance) (Gal 5:22,23)

• “Do you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you are received from God ?You are not your own, you were bought at a price ,therefore GLORIFY GOD in your body and in your spirit .(1 Cor 6: 19,20)

•He whose body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, will not be enslaved by a pernicious habit. His powers belong to Christ, who has bought him with the price of his blood. His body is the Lord’s. But professed Christians, yearly expend immense sum upon useless and pernicious indulgences, while souls are perishing for the Word of Life.

•“To those who comply with the conditions, he says: "Come out from among them, and be separate and touch not the unclean,” God’s promise is “ I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you and you shall be my sons and daughters said the Lord Almighty” (2 Cor 6: 17-18)

•True health (or wholeness) is also based upon trusting and obeying God and his principles. This takes a great deal of humility. God says: “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health into your body and nourishment to your bones. (Prov 3:7-8; -Deuteronomy 30:17-18)
