The body of Christ must come to the revelation that it is possible in Christ to be healthy in a sick society. And that requires more than faith declarations. It requires a complete overhaul of how you think, what you say, what you eat, and how you treat the body God gave you. Because here is the truth: you cannot be eating all kinds of unhealthy food every day and expect your body to hold up. I am not firing at you. I am fighting for you.
You must think healthy.
Get this concept deep in your mind: sickness does not belong to me. We have owned sickness too much. We have organized sickness in our minds too much. We talk about sickness too much. We watch programs about sickness too much. The Holy Spirit is telling me right now — get this in your mind and do not let it leave. Sickness does not belong to you. You are a child of God. You are not a partner with disease. You are not a co-owner of your diagnosis. You have the right, under the covenant of Jesus Christ, to say to every sickness: this is not mine, and I am not keeping you.
You must talk healthy.
Stop rehearsing what you have. When somebody asks how you are doing, you do not have to give them the full medical report. You can say: all is well. And do not care what is going on in your body at that moment — because you know that what is in heaven is stronger than what is in your body. We must not give Satan more credit than we give to Jesus Christ. Hell is not stronger than heaven. The blood of Jesus is not weaker than the sickness. The resurrection is more powerful than the disease. And when you walk around decreeing that truth over your body daily, your body begins to respond to a higher authority.
You must also eat healthy.
You have to check your eating habits. You cannot be drinking soda every day and think your body is going to hold up. And walk — at least a mile, twenty-five minutes to half an hour. There are people in their seventies and eighties walking every day and thriving. I do not want to live long and wrong. I want to live long and right. Your body is designed by God to fight sickness and disease — but you have to give it a fighting chance. That is Ephesians 4:11 through 16 in physical form. You are supposed to be growing, developing, pioneering — not just surviving.
