       The other day my daughter was sick, and I had the choice of either going to the doc and getting her some antibiotics or going to the health food store and getting a natural antiviral/antibacterial agent that would take care of it.  Since we do not currently have health insurance and are on a budget, we decided to try the health food store first.  What we ended up getting is something called colloidal silver.

Well what is interesting is that my dd was immediately feeling better after taking the colloidal silver for a few days.  Which is almost miraculous considering she could barely move off of the couch for two days and then on Saturday she played three games of soccer at her tournament without any problem.  I was thinking . . wow, God is really working through this natural product.

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE WELL

YOU CAN BE HEALED - HOW TO BELIEVE GOD FOR YOUR HEALING

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE WELL

Third John 2 says, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." John was expressing the very heart of God for your life. "I wish, I pray, I desire more than you can eve r imagine, that you prosper, that you be blessed in your family, blessed in your mind, blessed in your life. I want everything you touch to prosper, and I want you to be in health. I want you to be strong. I made man for wholeness, not for sickness nor for the mental ward. I made man to stand upright and rule and reign in the earth." Hallelujah! You were made to rule and reign! Sickness, disease, sin, and poverty are not to have the rule over you. Why has the devil struck with sickness and disease?

Because man was made for the glory and honor of God. We were made to reflect the very likeness and presence of the Lord. When you are blessing God and doing what He has called you to do, you are fulfilling your divine purpose in life and God's glory radiates from you. When the devil strikes you, he strikes at God's glory. Perhaps your calling is to be a mother to your children. Satan has removed more than one mother from this divine calling prematurely, but you and I as believers have the power to stop satan's works. However, we must first come into agreement that it is God's will to heal.

Healing – An Expression of God's Love

Jesus came to free us from the devil's domination, which includes sickness, disease, and infirmity. He came to lift us into abundant life and health. Jesus' compassion motive is revealed again in John 10:10 (AMP): "I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Jesus' compassion is further enforced in 3 John 2 (AMP): "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers." According to God's Word, "It is appointed unto men once to die" (Heb. 9:27 KJV).

Whenever a believer dies, he simply changes clothes. He gets a glorified body and goes immediately into the presence of Jesus. However, it is not the will of God that we s pend our entire life with the effects of death latching on to us. It is God's will that you spend your days with the expression of life and health in your body . You are to be healthy. You are to live until you die. God's will for you is to live every day to its fullest.

Sympathy feels badly for someone and identifies with their situation, while compassion moves to do something about the problem. Jesus healed because of compassion, and there's a big difference between sympathy and compassion. Sympathy feels badly for someone and identifies with their situation, while compassion moves to do something about the problem. Sympathy is like an automobile in "park," while compassion is in "gear." When you're in gear, you move toward someone.

The traditional view of healing is that Jesus healed sick people to prove He was the Son of God, that miracles were proof of His divinity. If miracles were done just to prove that Jesus was the Son of God, the n there is no more need for miracles, because Jesus has proved that He was the divine Son of God. This theological viewpoint is the basis for many Christians rejecting healing for today.

If Jesus' reason was simply to prove who He was, that reason no longer exists, because now we have the written record of what He did. However, if Jesus healed because He was moved with compassion, then His compassion has not changed in 2,000 years. Lamentations 3:22-23 says, "His compassions fail not. They are new every morning." Hurting people can still touch the heart of God. His compassion still flows, and when hurting people release their faith, they will receive from Him.

Manna Bread (Carrot and Raisin)

Nature’s Path Foods, Inc.

9100 Van Horne Way
Richmond, BC
V6X 1W3, Canada

www.naturespath.com

Ingredients:  sprouted organic white wheat kernels, filtered water, organic carrots, and organic raisins.

This “carrot cake-like” moist bread, which contains no added sweeteners, oil, flour, salt, yeast, additives or preservatives was a pleasant surprise to my morning taste buds - quite yummy!  I keep the manna bread in the freezer (presliced) and use the toaster to heat and crisp.  Another added benefit is the high fiber, and 5 grams of protein.  However, if you are looking at carbohydrate and calorie content, you may be a tad surprised to find that this product is high on the glycemic meter at 27 g. of carbs, and 10 g. of sugar.  Expect 130 calories for 2 oz. (3/4 of a slice).  If you have diabetes, hypoglycemia or other sugar-related concerns, you may want to sparingly eat this delectable delight, or sample to see if you have a reaction. Even though the sugars are considered “good carbs,” because they are from the natural juices found in carrots and raisins, your body may react negatively. Serve with some low-fat butter, or tofu cream cheese spread and you’ll feel like you have gone to heaven.  Just a little is all it takes to fill you up, and feel satisfied.  Another added bonus is that Manna Bread comes in seven different flavors: carrot and raisin; cinnamon-date; fruit and nut; millet rice; multigrain; sun seed, and whole rye. I can’t wait to try them all!

Information about grain sprouting (from back of bread bag):  “Sprouting converts starchy grains into easily digested maltose and other natural sugars similar to those found in fresh fruits.  After germinating the grain, we crush and form it into loaves, which are baked at low temperature.”

Product Review by Kelly

There are a few books I want to recommmend to anyone that wants a healthier lifestyle and information on nutrition the way God intended.  Please click on titles to find out more about these books. I have not been compensated in any way to promote these resources, and have chosen to do so on my own accord.

 Maker's Diet Book, by Jordan Rubin PH.D
"Jordan Rubin's faith-based journey from near death to vital health, which led him to uncover the timeless principles of the world's healthiest people.  By following the Maker's Diet your health dreams can become a reality." I started reading this book a few years ago and put it down out of fear of not being able to follow it,and the cost of buying the supplements, but now have taken it back up with hope that it will indeed help me in my path towards healing, and I have to believe that God will provide for the supplements I need, and if not then His grace will be sufficient.This is an extraordinary book that will inspire you towards truth in health.

A fellow blogger that is currently using the Maker's Diet is Janne at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/MamasLosinIt/

Prescription For Nutritional Healing, By Phyllis Balch, CNC

"This is a practical A-Z reference to drug-free remedies using vitamins, supplements, minerals and herbs.One problem most of us have is that we do not get enough nutrients from our diets, because most of the foods we consume are cooked and/or over processed.  This destroys vital nutrients the body needs to function properly.  The organic, raw foods are severely missing from todays diet.The nutrients suggested in this book promote healing and wellness, by allowing the body to heal and reinvigorate itself [as God intended]."  I have used this book for years, and can't seem to get enough of it.  Whenever we are sick we open this book and look up the supplements and herbs we need to get better without antibiotics or unnecessary medications. Of course there is a time and place for antibiotics, and we try to remain alert to that. I highly recommend this book as a resource for your family.

Extra Note About This Book:  As far as I know this book it is not written by a christian ,so it may contain some new age recommendations such as Ayervadic and acupuncture remedies. Please use caution in taking this author's advice about any new age remedies.  Ask the Lord for discernment while using this as a resource.The reason I have recommended it is because the amount of great information on herbs, mineral and nutrients that are listed here far supercede anything I have seen in any other resource.

PCOS Diet Book, By Colette Harris

"As many as 1 in 10 women have Polycystic Ovarian syndrome.  Its symptoms often include weight gain, fatigue, excess body hair or loss of hair, adult acne, irregular periods and mood swings/depression. Most experts now recognize that what you eat has a major role to play in your health.  This book shows you how to use the right foods to help beat your symptoms, protect yourself from diabetes and heart disease, balance your  hormones, boost fertility and lose weight."This book has literally changed my life in the way that I think about food. I was diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago, and really didn't know what to do.  My Endocrinologist never gave me any books to read or insight into how I could prevent this terrible disease.  I thank the Lord I came across this book on the internet. Ms. Harris educates us in an easy to understand way, and helps us  focus on the most important foods our bodies need. She encourages focus on complex carbohydrates, lean meats, whole grains, veggies & fiber.  I am encouraged and expectant of great results because of this book. I have also been full and satisfied at the end of the day after eating the right foods, and no sugar-fatigue episodes during the day because of low blood sugar.

Check out Kris Price's (ClassicalEducation4me) site called "Through Thick or Thin,"about weight loss during PCOS.  See what she is doing to change
her lifestyle and get healthy.

I will be adding more books and links as I come across them.  I always want to make sure I have read the books before I recommend them.  Please feel free to add your book recommendations in the comment section below.  I am always open to a good book about health/nutrition.
