Happy Amen Day!

As I started this journey in 2003, I prayed for God to show me, in His word, how I should eat and feed my family. He gave me the idea to mark in my Bible,  every verse that pertained to health, both physical and spiritual.

That has been eye opening. I did that for over 20 years and my big Bible has a mark on almost every page.

Now I am starting a new Bible, a smaller one to carry with me. I am marking it again. I am seeing the verses again for what seems the first time.

When I started YouTube, we discovered  many people were looking for a diet and I wanted them, you, to look to the Bible instead. So, my team and I coined the words' Bible diet. Well, that attracted many people to our sites.

BUT, I don't just want to attract you to these teachings. I want you to personalize the Word in your heart.

That is why I share the markings in my Bible story, so the Word can speak to you as well.

Now - the second step is I want to walk with you through the Bible and discover what it means to follow the Bible diet.

So, let's start with 1 Peter. What is the Bible diet according to 1 Peter?

We know that health is not just physical, it is spiritual

Also, health is not just spiritual it is physical.

1 Peter combines the two in these principles:

1. We are to walk in the living hope. A walk that is in faith and the assurance that God created your body to be used as a vessel.
 

2. Rejoice with Joy inexpressible - why sit and crave those sugary foods, why give into temptations when you are not hungry, What binge has ever left you feeling joy inexpressible?
 

3. Be holy in all your behavior. We cover this extensively in the Inner Circle. 
                                 Our behavior reflects our beliefs. 
We are called to be holy. Even in how we care for our body. We know being drunk is wrong; we know witchcraft is wrong; we know drugs are harmful. So, why do we allow overeating as the approved sin?  To be holy is to be disciplined in all areas of life.
 

4. Not disappointed!  He who believes in Him will not be disappointed. Now that continues the rejoicing. Stepping into the day with a hearty AMEN, starts the blood flowing with increased oxygen, the heart pumping stronger; the skin getting a fresh glow. Believing in HIM will never disappoint.
 

5. Give the Blessing! Forgiveness destroys health, both physically and spiritually. Peter teaches us to not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but  to give a blessing instead!  Straight from the Word, we are to pray for blessings for those who hurt us!  Yes, that includes family, neighbors, and those who seem like an enemy.
 

6. Alive in the Spirit. Many people don't understand the power of food nor the power of the Spirit. Food can be very addictive for reasons we don't have time to cover in this email. BUT God has given us the power to overcome the addictive power of food. We are made alive in the spirit. We are to live for the will of God. We have (are to) put away the desires of the flesh. God created us to live fully ALIVE!!!

If you are struggling with eating foods God called good, then let God change your taste preferences!

Yes, again we covered this in the Inner Circle. We can pray for an exchange. 

Lord, I ask that you exchange my tiredness for energy to fulfil this task before me.

Lord, I ask that you exchange this false guilt with Truth and freedom.
Lord, I ask that you exchange this fear with peace.

Lord, I ask you to exchange this desire for food for more of YOU.

Food is just food. God is so much more!!! This seems obvious, but yet, when we reach for food when God is wanting to show us something better, we miss out.

Let me challenge you this week to mark your Bible with a special mark each time you read a verse that shares the physical and spiritual health God is revealing. 

Second, take the challenge to read 1 Peter as the first book to mark. I know you will see as I did, how much God loves you and has created your body to experience that inexpressible joy!

I am excited to write this and wait patiently (ok, not so patiently) for your responses.

HINT - We are opening Inner Circle very soon and the Waitlist people always get a  limited time special pricing!

Testimony of the Week

This is so good, thank you so much!😁👍 I am just beginning to understand more about the feasts and I so want to teach my children about all these.  Thank you for your exuberant joy that helped me so much to catch a passion from the Lord for this as well.❤✝️  It made me tear up to realize that we have been raising our children in this self- focused culture, and we need to help get their hearts back on Jesus as the main focus.
