Taking Back A Godly Heritage

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." Genesis 1:29

When Jesus told me that He wanted me to use a natural treatment against cancer, I began to look into what that meant.  What is a "natural" treatment?

While there is a lot of information available about using plants & herbs to heal, most of it is being promoted from a wiccan, pagan, or new age perspective.  In fact, it is very hard to find information about natural healing that is not tainted by such views.  I asked the Lord, "God, surely you don't want me to get involved with all of this?"

Yet, who is the Creator of all things?  Did not God Himself tell us that He has placed plants & herbs down here for our food and our health?

"And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine." Ezekiel 47:12

God's people have become largely ignorant to wisdom in this area, while at the same time, it has been taken up by those who do not know Him.  And now, using the very things that God has given for our health seems strange to us.

If we are going to live for the Lord, then why not in the area of our health as well?  If our bodies are the temples of the Lord, then shouldn't we consult Him on how it is best to maintain it?

If you choose to follow a natural route for treating disease or simply maintaining your health, you do not have to walk away from the things of God.  Rather, you are walking deeper into the things of God, by seeking to know and be obedient to His instructions.  We consult the owner's manual when we are looking to fix any manufacturer's product.  Should we not consult the manual our Maker has left for us?

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm 1:1-3
