Move towards a new lifestyle of eating that reflects faith in God. This will bring healing and wholeness, and a refreshment of His blessing to you. Keep in mind to eliminate life-robbing food that hinders the body’s God-given recuperative abilities. Ingest foods that energize the body’s natural regenerative abilities so keep the nutrients in.

The following methods will assist you in achieving the new lifestyle:

JUICING

If you have never taken a mouthful of cantaloupe juice, you simply have not lived. Strawberry juice mixed with pear, or apple and yam is a taste of ecstasy. Blueberry juice is a taste of liquid heaven. A mixture of carrot, apple, beet, celery, tomato, and lemon tastes like a living V8, giving an energy boost to the day that is far better than a coffee.

Fruit and vegetable juices are the cleansers, energizers, builders and regenerators of the human system. A combination of either fresh raw fruit or vegetable juices will supply all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals critical to increase vitality!

According to how healthy you are, the average person is able to assimilate between 1% to 35% of the nutrients in vegetables. All nutrients of vegetables are locked within the fibers. A juice extractor is able to extract 70% to 98% of the nutrients from vegetables. When you pass a carrot through the juice machine, it effectively separates the juice that is locked in the fibers. In drinking the juice, the majority of nutrients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream without the work of digestion. An abundant supply of nutrients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream without the work of digestion. An abundant supply of nutrients in conjunction with minimum digestive effort is a perfect healing environment.

Try to make some juice each day. Juice can replace any meal. If you want to lose weight and detoxify, drink juice all day and eat one evening meal.

RAW FOOD

Depending on the severity of illness, a 30 to 90 day raw-food diet can result in phenomenal healing. We do not include raw nuts, seeds, sprouts or grains. These foods are harder to digest, high in protein and calories that will impede cannibalization. They also do not the sponge-like, soft, fibrous qualities that contribute to the cleansing of the colon.

The raw-food diet has two advantages over fasting. First, it slows detoxification, resulting in a gentler cleansing crisis. Secondly, fruit and vegetables are filled with soft fibers that are excellent in cleansing a bowel that has been impacted with hardened mucus deposits and abused by processed foods. An unhealthy colon will result in an unhealthy body. It is impossible to expect a body to heal when the colon is congested with old, dried, impacted mucus, blocking the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals through the colon wall.

Surprisingly, it takes more discipline to live on a raw-food diet than to fast. After two days of fasting, the digestive system shuts down. Hunger disappears. Ceasing from the act of eating places a clear perimeter, establishing single-mindedness and focus. During a raw food diet, the perimeters can become vague, resulting in a greater need for discipline. Those of us who find it difficult to discern between hunger and cravings may find an orange and a banana unsatisfying. I really feel my body is telling me that I need a Snickers bar. Or, wouldn’t some low-fat cottage cheese to nice with my cantaloupe. It seems so easy to eat too much or eat the wrong things during a raw-food program.

The rule to follow is, if it is not alive, do no eat it! Do not overeat, and do not be afraid of feeling a little hungry, it would not kill you. A good rule of thumb is to eat fruit and juice vegetables. One glass of carrot juice contains about 5 carrots. On a practical level, it is far easier to drink the juice of five carrots than eat them. Fruit is easy to eat, needs little or no preparation and is delicious. Small amounts of sprouts are beneficial, yet should be avoided if combating serious disease. The heavier proteins will slow the cleansing.

EXERCISE

Get the juices flowing in the body. A lazy boy chair just would not cut it. Laziness is not godliness. Exercising improves circulation, stimulates digestion, strengthens the heart muscles, improves the circulation of nutrients and oxygen, increases the elimination of wastes, improves the function of the colon, cleans and increases lung capacity, lowers triglyceride levels and uric levels, decreases platelet stickiness, increases flexibility, motor functions and insulin-receptor sensitivity. Exercise improves the functioning of all the organs and lymph glands. The liquid which cleans the cells is absorbed by the lymph glands with needs motion to dump cellular waste. Increased exercise will improve the lymph’s ability to keep the cells clean.

AIR

The air you breath is an essential part of your health. Remove from your home all household consumables that will contaminate breathing space, promoting a healing environment.

Laws, commandments, rules, rebukes, fire and brimstone, judgment.  No! none of these.

Our very first glimpse of God is an uninhibited flurry of artistic creativity.  Displaying His invisible character with visible color, shapae, sounds and yes – flavors.  He displays  Himself to us in what is made, unveiling the secret parts of the heart so that we may love Him for who He is.  How can we not fall in love with such a God?

God delights in creative expression. Genesis displays His pleasure in creating.  Man also has a creative instinct.  We can create poetry, painting, song and sculpture.  Tangible expressions of the hidden human soul.

A global form of creative expression is food.  A celebration of creativity, not hanging on some forgotten wall, but an offering of hospitality, leaving only dirty dishes and fond memories.

The painter has millions of hues available for palate and brush to unveil inner imagination.  So too, the chef has been supplied infinite raw materials in creating culinary masterpieces that will intoxicate taste buds into a song of joy.  A song joined by trillion of cells, nourished with food, filled with life.

Gray brick, sun-bleached plastic, billions of perfectly shaped sesame seed buns, huge boiling vats of oil, delicate flavors cooked to obscurity.  Mono-fat taste, Babylon manna, apathetic taste buds controlled by craving and addiction.  And trillions of cells cry in anguish and suffering under a diet of death.  Worst of all, our eating no longer reflects the creative character of God, but the evil god of this world that dulls men’s minds abd hearts.

Come rediscover God’s banquet table.  Food that will lead you to worship.  Recipes that display the Father Heart of God. A variety of textures and flavors which remind you that  God is not small and gray.  No weightloss programs are needed.  You will be blessed with health and vitality, for it pleases the Lord to bless you with all good things.

Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.
Exodus 23:25

Evey molecule demands intense concentration, and there are a lots of them, from one corner of the universe to the other. God holds them altogether by his continual creative power. He knows the number of hairs on the head of every man, woman and child. A record that needs to be continually updated. Angels must be attended to and given instructions. Black holes must be nourished and the temperature of the stars, regulated. The paths of trillions of meteorites must be individually plotted out, and you pray to Jesus to heal your sore toe as if you are the only concern He has in the entire universe!

Universes fly apart. Planets smash into each other. Suns turn to super novas, as God turns all attention, compassion and focus on your sore toe. And best of all, He does not make you feel as if you have inconvenienced Him. In fact, He delights when you come to Him with every little problem, always making you feel like the center of His universe. The sweet memories if the warm caress of His breath upon your brow, carrying you off into peaceful sleep.

God loves to heal. He is in the healing business. His Son healed everything He touched, everywhere he went. Jesus even healed when he was not aware of it! A woman reaching out and touching His garment, years of and suffering dissipated by the force of Jesus’ unconscious healing power.

Our bodies were not created to be sick and diseased; they were created to be filled with vibrant health, clarity of mind, and emotional stability. This can be evidenced in the living food He has specially designed for us to eat. Enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, bioflavinoids, and thousands of other unpronounceable names hidden under the skin of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains.

If you cut open a cantaloupe and hold it against your ear, you will hear the creative echo of God’s love and smell the sweet aroma of His enthusiastic compassion for the health and well-being of your body.

Are you sick? Then reach out to God by faith. Reach out through prayer, believing with all your heart that He loves you and will lead you beside green pastures and still waters. By faith, be willing to make changes in how you eat.

Changing your diet, for some, is the largest step of faith they will make in their entire life. When we are sick, often food can be an escape from pain. But dear friend, run into His loving embrace. Allow Him to nourish you spiritually and physically.

Sickness and disease are a symptoms of a world whose god is their stomach. A world that runs after the craving of the flesh, ignoring the cost to their health. But you are not of this world – you Shepherd will prepare a table in the presence of your enemy, whether that enemy be cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure or whatever it may be. By faith, do your best, and God will do the rest.

Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the LORD made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground – trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food… I give every green plant for food…

Genesis 1:30, 31, 2:8

Birds have nests, foxes have holes, but man was given a garden. A place to meet God. An oasis of life. The garden had endless varieties of food. Fruits that were pleasing to the eye and delicious to the palate. The hospitality of heaven. The living kitchen.

Imagine a Dietitian being transported back in time to the Garden of Eden. He sits down to counsel Adam and Eve on a diet program that will allow them to maintain optimum health. Cut down on animal products and processed food, and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables.

Yet, everything Adam and Eve ate was filled with life. No guilt, no need to read the ingredients, no food combining or referring to the Four Food Groups. They ate in freedom and simplicity. Flawless skin, warmed by God’s loving touch. Eyes that could see life dancing on fruit and flower. Ears that could hear the throb of Living Words. Nostrils, sensitive to the fragrant breath of God. They wore Eden like a garment. Eating from God’s Holy breast, they would experience oneness with the Creator.

Adam and Eve were perfect- perfect like God. Living in perfect contentment, perfect peace, perfect love and perfect communion. Vulgar clothing was unnecessary. There was nothing to hide.

In Eden, God had made two new friends. Companions He could speak to on His level, sharing His most intimate thoughts. Friends that He would die for. What conversation they must have had.

One morning, God took a walk in the garden in the cool of the morning, as He had done so many times. But something was different. He found himself alone. He called for His friends. Adam answered from behind a bush – I heard you in the Garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid (Genesis 3:10). I am naked. I am unworthy. I am sinful and dirty. I hide from God’s presence. I must find my own Eden – a new paradise.

This was the first fruit of a sinful inward focus that destroyed man’s fellowship with God.

North America has become the new paradise.

If all North Americans were to climb onto a huge scale, it is estimated that we would be 2,500,000,000 lbs. overweight! Enough caloric energy to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. There are thousand of weightloss books, videos, and programs responding to a nation that is desperately trying to control body fat.

This is not another book on weightloss. Being overweight is not a problem – it is a symptom! Overweight, chronic fatigue, lack of energy, foggy-mindedness, allergies, susceptibility to flues, colds, depression, disease, body odor, poor complexion and even hair loss are common symptoms of eating in Satan’s new Eden.

Jesus wants to feed His children with all good things because He has a Father’s heart. Satan wants to feed your cravings to control you.

Being a dietitian is nothing new to Satan. Today, Satan controls the vast percentage of what enters the world’s mouth. A food industry whose heart has become darkened by greed and a nation that has made its stomach a god, sacrificing health on the altar of self-fulfillment and escapism. We refuse to adjust or play with such destructive system of eating! Instead, we are going to present a completely different approach.
