Revival in Your Health
Aug 02, 2021
God is wanting to bring revival in your health.
And revival is always focused on Jesus.
On being wholly and completely set apart and consecrated for whatever He has for your life.
The bible says…
“Exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things.” (1 Timothy 4:7-8)
Exercise profits us a little, but our primary focus should be letting God do the work on the inside and letting the outside reflect that inner work.
Here is the straight-up truth:
We can want to do great things for God (Build a great business, lead our family, preach the gospel, disciple and mentor people unto spiritual maturity, fund the kingdom, etc)
…but if we do not steward the ONLY body He has given us, we will fall short of the calling.
Because we physically won’t be able to do the things we have to do.
I don’t care how passionate you are about what God is calling you to... If you wake up every day exhausted, with joint pain, and conditions that limit you… Not a whole lot can be done.
The sad truth nowadays is that the church is one of the most unhealthy groups of people…
We aren’t being the example that stands out, we are blending right in.
Our health should be a testimony that astounds people.
And I am not just talking about being shredded and looking good… I am talking about functional health that aids us in doing what God has called us to.
Me, and many of my clients, have been able to use our transformation in health as an opportunity to minister to others and preach the gospel.
I believe that poor/mediocre health is one of the biggest tactics of the enemy to keep believers back from their full calling.
And I am speaking from experience…
This was once me.
….300 lbs, addicted to food, low self-esteem, constantly feeling burned and guilty.
And it isn’t even primarily our fault… Health can be SOOO confusing.
The health industry is one of, if not THE most secular and selfish industries in our culture.
It has failed us lol.
…Quick side note…
Some health conditions are out of our control…
Things like cancer sometimes can affect people who are doing the best they can…
People like my mom (Chanda Adams Tate) and Sarah Clinger who battled cancer and overcame!
God has even used these horrible diagnoses and turned them into testimonies of His goodness.
Because of their faith, God healed them at a rate that was never thought possible and they are both in full remission.
They were a sign and a wonder even in the midst of that tough season.
Their doctors were astounded, other women were ministered to and encouraged, and the gospel was preached.
God can turn what the enemy has meant for evil into something good.
My point is for us to do everything in OUR power to steward what the body that God has given us, and to trust Him with the rest.
No matter where you’re at, there is hope.
Health may feel like a burden.
It may be an idol.
You may have been passive and not really cared up until now.
It may feel confusing…
Discouraging…
And even impossible.
But with God, ALL things are possible.
It’s time for the church to step up and be the sign and wonder we were meant to be in every area of life.
And as a leader, it starts with YOU.
God wants to bring revival to your health.
God bless you!
