(Deuteronomy 30:19) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.....KJV
(Deuteronomy 30:19) I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today. I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curses. Choose life so that you and your children will live. And love God, your God, listening obediently to him, firmly embracing him. Oh yes, he is life itself, a long life settled on the soil that God, your God, promised to give your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob....(Message Bible)
I chose this scripture to share because the words of this scripture rang out loud as a bell in my spirit seven (7) days ago. I knew that God has been speaking to me about my health, particularly about what it takes to have a healthy body, and how my body functions. What nutrients do I need to live a long and prosperous life? What role does food have in my life when it comes to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, lethargy and depression? I knew in my spirit that the Lord was speaking to me but what was also weighing on me just as heavily was the how? How would I be able to address this demon that has wreaked havoc on me and toyed around with me for decades? Where would I get the strength to say yes to life completely because saying no wasn't working for me. I knew that food was as much of a culprit to the demise of my health as drugs or alcohol or any other negative disease causing entity would be that could destroy the body but I still didn't have the strength to say no to unhealthy foods, fats, sugars and junk so I could turn the other cheek. As much as I was saying no, and as often as I said no (which was daily insanity) it didn't matter, it wasn't until I accepted that saying no would never work, it's just the opposite that would attract the healthy, strong, disease free body that I have been wanting for decades.
I finally got it! Saying NO was causing resistance, pain and struggles, but when I said YES to life completely and let go of the negative emotions I was holding on to it allowed positive energy to began to flow in and through me.
The lights came on and the resounding sound of that bell was loud and clear. The bell even came with a comforter, someone that would explain the science of unhealthy eating and what food does to the cells and how fats and sugars do have cancer causing properties that when eaten with certain animal proteins our cells will go crazy in our bodies and cause cancer, heart disease, diabetes and even depression. I just said wow, food can cause depression? I knew at that moment that my treatment for cancer would take more than chemo, and radiation. My next treatment would be with nutrients. I know that for me, Lolita, the foods I eat must be alive and full of nutrients that feed my cells with antioxidants and phyto-nutrients. I know that God gave me another chance to get this thing right. It took having cancer three (3) times for me to finally get it.
I have always read the books, and drank the healthy Kool-Aid in theory, it's now that I'm ready as a student that I can drink the Kool-Aid and enjoy the taste of a healthy lifestyle by walking the walk and for that I am eternally thankful that the teacher appeared!!
