Change Direction with Your Words
November 2024
Turn Your Health Around! Does it sound impossible? Are you facing a negative diagnosis from your doctor? Or even a devastating diagnosis? Maybe your body is the one that is giving you a bad report!?
James, the half-brother of Jesus had great insight into the source of many of our problems.
He says:
“Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.” (James 3:3-6 NKJV)
Now I took up time and space in this letter with this passage of scripture because I want you to see it. Actually, maybe you should read it out loud to yourself. Or…you could do what I do and sit and write the whole passage on a piece of paper or in your journal if you have one.
How Can You Turn Your Health Around??? It begins with your tongue, with the words of your mouth. Like the rudder on that ship, you change the direction of the boat (your body) by turning the rudder (your tongue) in the direction of health. Stop speaking sickness and disease. Start speaking health, joy, and peace by declaring what God said about your health.
HOW CAN YOU LOSE WEIGHT? Stop saying you can’t lose weight or control your appetite. Start saying, “I desire only those things which bring life and health to my body.” It will change your desires, and your rudder will turn your body to the port destination of healthy weight.
TURN YOUR SHIP TODAY!
In Christ,
