IntroductionThe Lord has inspired me to compose this devotional to remind His people that it is His desire that we live life in good health: physically, mentally, and spiritually. He wants us healthy, wealthy, and wise. Over the years man-made tradition and wrong teaching has been ingrained into our minds. We have been told that the Lord puts sickness and disease on people to "teach us a lesson", but the truth of the matter is that when Jesus laid down His life for us at Calvary, He took all of our sicknesses and diseases so we could be free of them. In most cases a sick and ailing person cannot completely fulfill the plan and purpose God has for their lives. Many people become ill, bogged down in their body as well as their minds, and give up the fight for life. I'm here to tell you - never, ever, never give up...God wants you well At the beginning of 2013 I began to notice that my appetite had decreased. I love to eat but I did not pay it much attention. Everything began to taste unpleasant and no matter how much I tried to eat I could never complete a full meal. I began to lose a tremendous amount of weight. My family began to notice and began prompting me to go to the doctor. I refused. The weight continued to come off and now I had begun to have other issues. I would begin a sentence and stop in mid sentence because I could not remember what I was going to say. I became increasingly weak and fatigued, all the time praying to God and believing Him for healing. This went on for most of 2013. I have always been a very healthy female, weighing between 140-155 pounds. By the time this battle ended I had dwindled down to 90 pounds. On the morning of August 26, 2013, after being awakened by my alarm clock, being so tired and fatigued I got back in bed and went back to sleep. I did not understand until the Lord told me later that I was headed for eternal slumber that day. That is another testimony in itself. I praise and thank God it was not my time He still has work for me to do God turned things around that day and put me back on the path to total and complete health and wellness Hallelujah, thank You Jesus Today my health is restored, my weight is back (160 pounds - a little more than I would like but I'll take it), and my mind is completely sound If you believe and trust in God, He will do the same for you. He is no respecter of persons and He has promised every one of His children long life (Psalm 91:16).
