Heal Your Body

One of the arguments against belief in God is that believers often have as many or more illnesses as non-believers.

The idea is that if there is a power that can help us, then we who pray "should" be healthier and happier.

While it's best to refrain from unfairly judging the quality of another's relationship with God or the value of faith to anyone else, these people make a good point.

Why is it that so many people who pray and are sincerely reverent have terrible burdens of illness and pain?

Traditional thinking tells us it is "God's way" to make us humble.

Nonsense.

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace - 1 Corinthians 14:33

God is loving. God doesn't want to create confusion for us by making us suffer. He sent His son to try and get through to us what we had to do to manifest the amazing Kingdom of God within each of us.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? - 1 Corinthians 3:16

The problem we have is our misunderstanding of how our subconscious thoughts affect our bodily processes.

There are reasons for every illness. Yet most of us remain completely baffled by the illnesses and diseases we have, wondering why we have them.

We then clutch at straws, blaming one thing after another: our DNA, pollutants, poor medical care, what we eat. But the Bible clearly says:

Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. Matthew 15:11

(Also see Mark 7:15)

It is what we think and the ideas that go round and round inside us that determine whether we flourish or become ill.

Those ideas program the subconscious that then - according to "our wish" - brings us into contact with contaminants, triggers problems and creates the scenario that brings about illness.

Palm 106:15: He gave them what they asked...a wasting disease among them.

Fortunately for us, there is a woman who figured this out and put some reasons as to why we have certain illnesses and diseases down in a book.

Her name is Louise Hay and her book, the very first she wrote over twenty years ago, is Heal Your Body.

I found Heal Your Body about fifteen years ago and began to experiment with healing myself using Hay's information to change the way I thought.

I also used the information in Heal Your Body to create prayers. (Some of them are in Prayerforce: 365 Days To A New Life.)

The result is that I have come to depend upon Heal Your Body as an accurate guide to how I am creating problems that result in pain or illness.

Why? It works.

I have received relief and healing through the years by adopting Hay's reasons and affirmations into prayers, and this has been a Godsend.

If you are ill but are not familiar with Heal Your Body, I urge you to pick up a copy. See if Hay's reasons for whatever is bothering you do not ring true.

If they do, then pray using her affirmations. You may be amazed at the results.

I always am.
