Our firm foundation in which to stand on every day of life is God himself. He is our rock of strength, Psalm 62:5 – Yes, my soul, find rest in God. We shall not be moved because “he is our rock” and this rock cannot be shaken and broken. Trust in him at all times ye people, pour out your heart before him, God is a refuge for us. He is our rock of safety, a strong rock for those who trust him. Psalm 40:2 – He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
We should all go back to God and hear what God has to say about healing. Removing plaque and inflammation from the system will cure you of your disease. The body contains oxygen and oxygen is what the body need most. Be conscious of what you eat, eat more of organic fruits and vegetables, stopping eating acidic food is not always easy hence, you can accomplish it through the nourishing and cleansing of your body with food our creator has provided. Fasting is good and fasting will heal every part of your body that needs to be healed. It helps to clean your arteries, the functioning of your nervous system and cognitive state, and eat more of alkaline foods. Before, “civilisation”, humans have been using only fruits, nuts, seeds, bitter leaves, sour food and herbs to heal; women gave birth with just the assistance of family members and there was no juice, or soft drinks either only natural water from the springs, mountains and rivers. Therefore, to believe in God, we must believe in nature.
Healing accounts in the New Testament are much more numerous. The healings attributed to Jesus are very diverse, but there are five overriding themes that consistently occur. First, Jesus emphasizes compassion for others, emulating the Golden Rule of loving a brother or a sister as oneself. Second, Jesus performs healings to attest to the power of God’s Kingdom, in these cases faith in God is important (Luke 17:11-19). Third, Jesus sees illness as something unnatural to the body, and is tied to an evil power. In such cases Jesus acts as a liberator, freeing the person from evil’s grasp (Mark 9:17-25). Fourth, sometimes Jesus’ healing comes with moral repentance, suggesting that sin is at the root of some illnesses (Mark 2:5). Fifth, Jesus attempts to teach his disciples about healing hoping that his followers will continue his healing ministry (Matt 10:8).
In the three model of healing: The holistic model of the human being is the one that best illustrates the concept of spiritual healing. In this model each individual can be said to have three spheres of being: mind, body, and spirit. In cases of spiritual healing the cultivation of the third realm, the spirit, has a healing effect on the mind and the body. Using medical terminology this can be described in terms of the internal versus the external locus of control. With the external locus of control, individuals look outside of themselves for healing, to medical advice or to medication. Using the internal locus of control, individuals look within themselves for healing through self-reflective tools such as stress management, meditation or prayer. Healing can be stimulated within the spiritual realm of an individual and can then manifest itself in the mind and the physical body.
Spiritual healing is very broad topic because there are infinite ways that the spiritual component of the individual can be cultivated. These approaches span all cultures, ethnicities and religious affiliations. Specific approaches to spiritual healing present in diverse forms including faith healing, healing liturgies, anointing with oil, music, meditation, and the laying on of hands. The most important quality in health was maintaining a good relationship with God. Although, healing was expected through prayer, petition, and supplication to God. God would either heal directly, or in some cases he would heal through the prophets; for example, when Elisha cures Naaman (2 Kings 5:1-14) or Isaiah cures Hezekiah (Isaiah 38).
