Share it. But most of all, thank you for listening to the Truth Podcast Network. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. This is Mike James with Bodies in Christ, a Kingdom Health transformation.
I'm glad to be here in the studio at The Light. And today we're going to continue our walk down the keys aisle, which we were talking about the five biblical keys to Kingdom Health. So we're going to continue down that vein this week and just have a conversation about some of the things as it relates to how to experience your best health ever. And this third key is actually God's plan for your health. And when we look at it and think of it from a biblical perspective, what is God's plan for our health? What is God's plan for your health? And I want you to really think about that for a minute as it relates to, you know, God and His Word, His plan for us. Because one of the things I love about this journey, this walk with Christ, is that we've been given a manual. We've been given the blueprint on how to go through this life and how to excel in the area of living.
And I believe that. And that's what the Bible is. It's a manual. It's a blueprint for living quote unquote the good life or the abundant life. But the key to it is as much as the Bible is spiritual, it's also practical. So one of the keys is looking in the Word for the practical application for every area of our lives. Because God, you know, in the Word it says that, you know, He'll perfect those things that concern us.
So whatever things we are concerned about, whether it's money, whether it's health, whether it's family, whether it's marriage, you know, you name it, you go down the list of things that relates to life, period. The Word says He'll perfect those things that concern us. So now if any of those are concerns, the Word says He will perfect those things. So we know God is not a man that He can't even lie. He can't lie, right?
So that has to be true. So how does that apply to our health, perfecting our health? He said those things that concern us. Now, does our health concern us? Well, when you look at different studies and surveys, the two most prominent things that most human beings are concerned about, one is money, the other is health.
Those are one and two. So now with that being the case, that means we have concern about them. Now, also the flip side of that, since we have concern about those things and we know that we have concern about those things and we know that God's Word says that He will perfect those things that concern us, then we know those things can be perfected, right?
We know those things can be perfected. That's the beautiful thing about this Word is that there's an answer for everything, right in His Word. You know, we used to have a saying and there was a song that Jesus is the answer, which is true, because we know in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
So, you know, so we can also say that the Word is the answer, right? So now with the Word being the answer, and now we're talking about God's plan for your health, what is God's plan for your health? Now, I would surmise that if I'm sitting around and I'm thinking about what would God's plan be for my health, I want you all to think about that just for a minute.
No matter where you are, no matter what you're doing, I want you to think about that, right? Really give that some thought, like, okay, God has a plan for my health. Okay, God has a plan for my health. What would God's plan be for my health?
Think about that. What would His plan be for your health? I want you to come up with not only a thought, but an image, and then take it a step further and write down what you feel like God's plan would be for your health, giving you some homework or some day work or some office work or wherever you are, giving you some work. What would God's plan, what is God's plan for my health?
What does that look like? Really think about that. Now, I'm going to give you some scripture because, again, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, and as long as we have a word for something, we can believe it and we can do it.
All we need is a word for it, right? We see all through biblical history, we see through the times of Jesus when he was walking through the earth, and no matter what he was doing, he could speak a word and that would bring about change. The man sitting at the pool making excuses, you know, he's been sick for years, he was at the poolside, I think at Bethesda, and you know, Jesus came up to him and said, do you want to be healed? And the man said, what? He said, I don't have anybody to push me, to put me into the pool. He started coming up with reasons why he wasn't healed, right? But it wasn't even about that.
Jesus just asked him a simple question. It was, do you want to be healed? It was, do you want to be healed? Now, my question to you along that same line would be, do you want to be healthy?
Right? That's the question. If Jesus was walking by right now and ask you that question, do you want to be healthy?
What would your response be? Is it yes? No?
Maybe? Well, sir, I don't have anyone to know. He didn't ask all that. But then Jesus being compassionate as he is, he did something. He gave the man a word. He told him to take up your bed and walk.
Simple. He gave him a word. So listen, as long as there's a word for something in the Bible, and then trust me, there's a word for everything, then you can stand on that word. You can take that word to the bank and whatever that word is sent to do, it will perform it.
Because why? Because his word can not come back void. See, that's the blessing about, you know, this word and just everything that's already been given to us. You know, a lot of times I have to even think about it, you know, myself in different areas. There's a word for everything.
Like, why am I puzzled or in a situation to, you know, where I'm frustrated or confused or anything like that in different areas, right? When God is, he's given us a word for everything. So now what is God's plan for your health? What what is God's plan for your health? What is a word that you can can tap into, lean into, and really kind of focus on, meditate on, and know that God is speaking to you as it relates to your health, right?
So it's one that everybody knows is quoted all the time. And, you know, I'm going to quote it here and go over it as well, because, again, that's the beginning of the process is you getting a word and taking that word and letting that word become your flesh so that you can act on that word. So now let's look at the scripture reference for God's plan for your health, because you can hold on to this. This can be your word that starts your journey to kingdom health. So now the word is, it's found in 3rd John 2, a familiar scripture, is, beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Simple word, right? Simple word. Attach that to knowing that God's plan for your health is that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Simple.
Straighten to the point, right? So now you can take that word and know that it is in the will of God for you to prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. So what does that look like? What exactly does that mean? I believe it means you have the opportunity to experience kingdom health.
I believe it means that you have the opportunity to be in the best health that you've ever been in in your life. I said, but brother Mike, I'm 65 years old. I'm 70 years old. I'm however years old. I mean, those days are over for me being in the best health.
No, it's not. Because whenever you take that word, whatever word it is that God has given you for any area of your life and you apply that word, it's not going to come back void. So you can experience whatever that word was sent to do. So if that word is sent for you to experience the best health you've ever had in your life, then that's what that word will do.
So now, how do you grab a hold to that word a hold to that word and walk out what it means in your life, right? There's a journey you can take these five keys and this is what I want you to do too. I want you to be able to to look at this, write down your answers. I have a little booklet that's online. You can download it. It's free and it's the number five keys dot live.
The number five k-e-y-s dot l-i-v-e. Go ahead, download that today. Write down your answers. Start your journey because what will happen is you'll get a word for God's plan for your health and then you can start your journey your journey because that's what it's really about. So now, once you have a vision of God's health that God has for your health, the question is will you believe that vision?
Will you have faith for what God's plan is for your health? Because that's going to determine what you do with the word because we know the word works. There's no question that the word works. That's the that's the most powerful tool we have as believers is God's word. See, Jesus used the word as well when he was tempted by Satan.
He didn't, you know, he wasn't crying, screaming, doing a bunch of other stuff. No, what he did was he quoted the word because that's where the power is. That's what we have as believers that the world doesn't have, right, is the word. But the thing is we have to apply that word to every area in our lives and sometimes it's a challenge. Sometimes it's something that if we're not used to applying the word in a certain area that we have to really be almost trained for.
Okay, well how do I apply the word in this area like I applied it in the other area? In the other area and it takes sometimes it takes to change. It takes some transformation happening and so, you know, that whole transformation comes by, you know, the renewing of the mind process, right? We can't be conformed to this world but we have to be transformed by the renewing of our minds and then that brings about the necessary change to apply the word in a different area because now I have faith for it.
Once I hear the word for it, I can get faith for it. So God's plan for your life is simple and God's plan for your health is simple and it's beloved I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. So now you have that word that's God's plan which is for you to experience the best health you've ever had in your life. I believe that and you're on your journey right now because you're hearing this word today.

Alright, we're back and so we're going to continue down this vein of just God's plan for your health, you know, what that means, how to walk that word out, how to experience Kingdom health, as I call it, because, you know, there's different areas and this is what's interesting because when we think about it, there are specialists out there in the Kingdom, which is a good thing, you know, that will show you how to handle your finances according to the word, you know, and I think of Dave Ramsey when it comes to that area, you know, he teaches and has a program that all the churches use, a lot of churches use right now, as it relates to getting your finances in line and he does that from a biblical standpoint, you know, everything is biblical based, it's about the word and so, you know, and a lot of people have been taught, you know, how to manage their finances based on the word of God, which is a good thing, but to my point earlier, there's a word for everything, anything we can think of or that pertains to life, there's a word, there's wisdom in the Bible, God's word is already there with an answer, with the blueprint of how to excel in that area, so and then we think about marriage, right, you know, that's an area, you know, people struggle and divorce rate and everything else, you think about that, but the word is clear on the blueprint for marriage, I mean, it's not hard, it's real simple really and generally speaking, it's up to, you know, up to us men, right, because the word on marriage is, it's real simple, husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it, right, if you just take that part right there, which there's more to it, but if you just take, if you just take that part right there, you can solve 99.9% of all marriage problems with just that one scripture, that one part of that scripture taken out of there, right, because it's not hard, it's real simple, but that's the word works when you apply it, so as we talk about God's plan for our health, it's no different, but one, you have to believe that God has a plan for your health, and then also you have to believe that God's plan for your health is for you to be in your best health, because I can't imagine God having a plan for my health and it not be the best. When has that ever happened? When has God ever had anything for any of his children that wasn't in their life? Any of his children that wasn't the best, right? Even the prodigal son, the son that was at the house, he didn't understand it, how the prodigal son could go away, waste his money, you know, partying, you know, end up in the pig pen with the pigs, and then wants to come home, and he throw this big party for him, he throw the best party he's ever had, because that's just the nature. When you start understanding the nature of God, then that's what he wants the best. He wants the best for all of us, right?
And one of the things when the show opens and when the show close, you notice the song that we use is the best is yet to come, right? Because God wants, he wants the best for us, so when we think about God's plan for our health, you know it has to be the best, and that's what I call it, kingdom health. So now, this is what I'm challenging you to do today is to get a vision. I talked about in the key number one was having a vision, but now I want that vision to be based on what you believe God's plan is for your health right now. What do you believe God's plan for your health is right now? Now, as you think about that, as you meditate on that, I want you to write it down, and then I want you to, as you write it down, how do we execute?
See, that's the other key, how do we execute? So now, execution is going to come in the way of you may need some guidance and some steps along the way to help you execute and walk in your best health ever, because I truly believe that everyone out there everyone out there listening is absolutely possible for you, not only possible, but plausible. It's just a matter of applying God's word and then you being in agreement with God as it relates to where he wants to take you health-wise, right?
And it doesn't matter, you can name it, you know, whether it's weight loss, if it's a certain number that you know, hey listen, I'll be better off health-wise if I'm at this weight, it's fine. God's not intimidated by weight or whatever condition you may be in right now. That doesn't intimidate God because he know his word will not return back void.
I know his word would not return back void. So if you get a word for your health and you're willing to apply it, then you're going to experience what I call kingdom health. And truly the best is yet to come. Now there's there's one I do want to talk about health in another sense too because we have one of our partners, a sponsor with us and that's Crawford Chiropractic Clinic over in Greensboro and they are in the health profession. And one of the things they believe over there is that you know chiropractic care also is in line with the healing arts and touching, you know, and a part of it is laying on of hands, which of course, you know, Jesus did a lot and it was talked a lot about in the Bible, but also if you have any kind of pain and any blockage with your nerves, anything like that, then you definitely want to see Crawford Chiropractic Clinic.
And of course, you can visit them online at CrawfordChiro.com, Crawford Chiropractic Clinic. And as they say, we have your back. So that's their slogan there. But again, to get on to the rest of what we're going to talk about today, because this is key number three. As I mentioned, we're going to go through five keys over the next few weeks.
I think the next time we convene, we're going to have a studio and the guests. But this week is God's plan for your health. And we mapped out what we believe is God's plan. And that's in scriptural, that he wants you to prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. But as I mentioned before, a part of walking these keys out and experiencing what God has for you, go to five, the number five, keys.live and just download the manual there. So you can write in it, so you can meditate on the scriptures, so you can develop a blueprint and a plan to move forward and experience God's plan for your health in your life.
So again, that's five, the number five keys, K-E-Y-S.live, L-I-V-E, and download the booklet. And it'll also give you access to a free course that we do as well that takes you further into it and help you walk through this health journey, which we call Kingdom Health. So again, there's one other thing I wanted to mention, too, as we relate to God's plan for your health. And one of the keys, I think, that's going to be coming up in key number four, and we'll get into just the whole eating plan, how that works, and what God's purpose and plan is for that. And we'll look at that next week. But yeah, I appreciate everybody that's listening out there.
And I'm going to appreciate everybody that's listening out there. And again, it's not complicated, y'all. The Bible really is our blueprint for living the more abundant life. It's our blueprint for experiencing God's best. And all we have to do is get a word for it, apply that word, and then decide that, hey, you know what? I'm going to walk this out, right? So it doesn't matter, as I mentioned, if it's weight loss, if it's more energy, if it's healing in your body to where, you know, you're medication free, it doesn't matter. God's not intimidated.
He's got a word for it. So again, God's plan for your health today is His best. God bless. We'll see you next week. And remember the best is yet to come. Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Tune in every Thursday at 3 30 PM and Saturday at 9 30 AM for a Kingdom Health Transformation with Mike J. on the light. This is the Truth Network.
