Does God Care About Your Health?

In this episode, Michelle poses the question: Does God really care about your health?  God has many important priorities, such as salvation, evangelism, discipleship, and fulfilling His kingdom purposes. That being said, Michelle points out that Jesus, who represented the Father while on earth, placed a significant emphasis on healing and restoring people's health. Out of the 37 miracles Jesus performed, 26 of them were related to healing, whether physical or spiritual. Highlighting Jesus' role in the stories of individuals like the blind man and the bleeding woman, Michelle emphasizes that if Jesus prioritized health, it is because God values health too. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• God cares about our health and healing. Jesus placed a significant emphasis on people's health and performed numerous healing miracles.

• Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should treat them with reverence and care.

• God is into preventative healthcare and wants us to learn how to prevent sickness by taking care of ourselves.

• It is important for us to prioritize our health and make time to learn and grow in better habits.

• We should not abuse the fact that God can heal us by neglecting our health and expecting Him to constantly heal us. Instead, we should strive to live a healthier lifestyle and listen to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
