Body Soul and Spirit

Posted on April 10, 2018 by Marie

To have a healthy body, soul and spirit you have to have a healthy relationship with God and put your trust in Him, he has your best interest at heart.

You cannot separate the 3 they have to be in balance.

Body= Physical, that which goes in and coming out. The effort you put in.

Soul = Mind: What you think, Emotions: what you feel, Will: your choice. Your soul has a huge impact on your health and wholeness

Spirit = The part that longs for and belongs to God. Ecc 3:11 says God has planted eternity in men’s heart and mind, a sense of purpose which nothing but God alone can satisfy.

On health: The word of God says:

Ps 107:9 For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.

Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health to you and I will heal your wounds, says the Lord.

Ps103:3 God who heals all your diseases.. who satisfies your mouth with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s..

1Pet2:24 By Jesus’ stripes /wounds you have been healed.

Jesus says you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. He wants to bring truth into your life, so you can be set free from health issues, and emotional and spiritual issues.

What does your body need to be healthy?

There are a few principals to health that you might have heard of before but every time you hear it, it helps strengthen your hope and perseverance to help you on your journey.

  1. Clean air- pollution causes disease, breathe deeply.
  2. Sun- too little sun is linked to eg. depression and other diseases.
  3. Stress management – stress places so much strain on your body and adrenal glands as well as on your other hormones.
  4. Rest – your body repair itself when it rests.
  5. Exercise- we all know the benefits: It is good to exercise 3 times a week for 30min -it helps the body get rid of toxins, it makes you stronger and fit to have more capacity, it helps release feel good endorphins so it helps with depression. 1Tim 4:7-8“Train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and life to come.
  6. Healthy food- Eat a balanced diet with fruit and veg and healthy fats and proteins and whole grains, cut down on sugar
  7. Good water- Dehydration steels good health you need 6-8 glasses of water a day.

8. Trust in God

31 Days to clean

Posted on November 26, 2011 by Marie

I did it! I cleaned the fridge only 2 weeks after reading day two’s Martha challenge. Yes I know at this rate it won’t be called 31 days any more, more like 31 months. But I just decided that this time I’m not going to go on, unless I have faced the day’s challenge- even if it takes me double the time. Well the fridge is so happy to be rid of all those sell-by 200? bottles and I can reach what I’m looking for! Click here to visit Sarah Mae.

Basic Health Principles

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Marie

Building bridges in health and wellness

Did you know that research has found that to have a cuppa with a friend boosts your immune system with 3 days. Now that is research I like to believe.

I want to take you on a journey , for health is rarely a quick fix or something you do now and you’ll be ok after that. So I want to give you hope of not giving up even if you have big health challenges today.

Most of the worlds bridges are build to overcome a major stumbling block; that is to cross over an impassable way, or to make a way much quicker and easier.

The same way we can build a bridge to overcome a health challenge. If I can compare a health journey to a bridge building project it could look something like this; broadly spoken and simplified (engineers!)

1. Planning phase.

2.Ordering supplies.

3.Start the construction or building.

4.Time frame

Plan your health journey -whether you are unwell have disease or just wants greater health, you need to get to the point were you make the choice – choose healing or accept that something is wrong and then take responsibility for your life and health. What do you want your life and health to look like? See an end result..

You need to prepare eg, go to a doctor or health practitioner to find out what may be the problem , or to get medication or health supplements or counselling or plan were the weak areas are and what you need to do to start the healing journey. You may need to get right with God, who is the author and finisher of our life and our healer. You can’t just treat the symptoms, you need to treat the root cause of disease. Or else you will just keep on coming back to the same thing. You might need to make a phone call.

The next step is start doing something, and take steps towards healing/health. You need a stable structure. So start with the important stuff first. God should be first in your life. You also need support or accountability and not loose hope. Maybe you need a walking partner or join a group of like minded people. Ask a trusted friend to help you.

Lastly you have to commit for a long term outcome to either build new or rebuild that which was destroyed. Sometimes you get a big boost in your efforts but you still are the person who eats and lives and does things to your body – God heals in a moment, but we need to be good stewards of what He has given us. For the rest of our lives, that’s why it is a journey. Understand that it can take months for certain conditions to heal in your body. With the correct approach to it. But more important it takes sometimes just as long to develop new healthy lifestyles to keep healthy.

You need to persevere and not loose hope. Keep building.

The Reason I Homeschool

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Marie

I read a charming book once called “Mister God this is Anna” by Fynn

The little girl explained in her innocent way about God’s love “…People can only love outside and can only kiss outside, but Mister God can love you right inside, and Mister God can kiss you right inside…”
This is the essence of life; that God loves us, He loves you. “For I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have drawn you with loving -kindness” -Jer 31:3
No matter what you do or have done, He still loves you right from the inside.
I get asked a lot why do you homeschool? I prefer to call it home educate, but more on this later.
It has all got to do with my purpose on earth.
What is our purpose? It is to bring Glory to God, and have relationship with Him; intimacy with God your maker. Gods says:” you whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”-Is43:7
It all starts with God-”For all things were created by Him and for Him “- Col 1:16
He wants relationship with you, and He used Jesus to bring you close to Him. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”-John3:16 Jesus opened the way for us to come into Gods presence.
I want to bring my kids into a relationship with Jesus and intimacy with God. All the rest is temporal and can be acquired through books etc, but character and fruit of the spirit need to be modeled daily. I want to teach them daily to be in the Lord and grow up in faith.
I believe that God’s intention was for parents to teach their children, and especially in the way of the Lord.

A PLAN AND A PURPOSE

Posted on April 11, 2011 by Marie

I am a mom who help God educate our children at home. You could call us home-schoolers but I prefer to be called a parent, who live in relationship with her children learning about life, as our journey unfold.

God has a plan and a purpose for each of us. He has placed so much potential in us and He wants us to step into it so we can bring glory to His name. His word says in Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God is interested in your heart, your love and having a relationship with you.

Jesus has come to set you free, You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Jesus came to set you free, so you can spend eternity with Him and to make you whole to bring balance to your life, so you can be more effective in what you do for Him, while you are on earth. You are a spirit being living on earth for a short time, in a physical body with a soul – which is our mind, emotions and will. When you are whole in body, soul and spirit  you will have more balance in your life and be able to fulfil your purpose on earth.

I hope my posts bring you hope and inspire you to step into the relationship and heritage which is yours in Christ, bought at the cross and freely given to you if you believe in Him.
