When seeking
healing,
it is
important to note the influence of food on our health.
Since we consume about 60,000 to 90,000 kilograms of food in our
lifetime, what we put in our mouth is quite important. If we nourish
our body with things that are harmful, at some point – perhaps decades
later – these harmful toxins may cause diseases.
People in
Western countries typically suffer diseases caused by the standard of
living. These diseases are caused by improper diet or eating too much
food; they are caused by harmful eating habits.
On the
other hand, changing one’s diet can promote healing and relieve many
problems. Ailments may even disappear completely with another kind of
diet:
God healed my
hay fever in 1970, after I had suffered from it for over thirty-five
years. He healed me supernaturally, but I still suffered from
sinusitis. Sometime in the year 1977 it became so bad that I had to
eat three tablets a day. In addition to this, I was given injections
approximately every third or fourth week in an attempt to stop the
infection. When this had gone on for about a year, and we had prayed
for healing day after day, I finally said, "God, would you please show
me how to get rid of this!”
Soon after
this, we were asked to lunch with the family of a doctor who was
living in Florida. During the meal, the wife of the doctor said, "I am
sorry that I can’t serve you coffee or tea. We have all suffered from
sinusitis and that is why we stopped drinking coffee and tea, and
started to drink juice instead. The whole family got rid of the
sinusitis in less than a month.”
I said,
"Thank You, Jesus!”
I too
stopped drinking coffee and tea, and started to drink as much orange
and apple juice as my innards could endure. The sinusitis healed in a
few weeks! (28)
