“If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” – John 13:17
God gives you the ability to discriminate; to choose wisely; to choose what your body needs to maintain radiant health. God in you is infinite wisdom and guides you as you allow Him to. He gives you the wisdom to think rightly about what you eat and to intelligently regulate your appetite, choosing only the food that is right for your body. You are wise to listen for His guidance and to follow it.
Infinite Intelligence in you knows what your body needs. It is in every cell of your body. Listen to your body and it will tell you what it needs in the way of nourishment and exercise.
It is important to remember that your body is the temple of the living God. His loving, wise spirit is the very life of your body and moves through your consciousness at all times. The more you become aware of this, the healthier you are, mentally, emotionally and physically.
Of real importance is to feed your body with wise and loving thoughts and words. Tell your body often how wonderful it is and thank it for its good service.
Never disparage your body in any way, no matter how it may look or seem to be.
If any part of your body is apparently not functioning as it should, bless that part knowing that God indwells it, and give thanks for that particular part doing its job now. As you bless it, it will do its work even better and will respond to your uplifting thoughts directed to it.
Charles Fillmore continually blessed a withered and shortened leg and it eventually responded with new life and even lengthened. You can bless any part of your body and it will respond to your blessing. Keep on until it happens. – Lovingly, Rev. John (Adapted from: *Positively Alive!) *Visit our website to order this book.
Concerning Age
Our bodies are composed of an enormous number of little separate cells, and these cells are constantly being renewed. It is estimated that the entire body is renewed about once every twelve months. No body is more than twelve months old. Some people renew everything more slowly than others so it is safe to say that twelve months is the average renewal cycle.
The only thing that interferes with this is thought. What goes into the body is included, too, but what one eats and drinks is the activity of thought. The truth is, you are not your body. You are divine spirit or Pneuma. Therefore, you are birthless, deathless, and ageless. As divine spirit you are the same age you have always been: ageless. If someone asks you how “old” you are, it is never correct to speak in terms of how many years you’ve been on Mother Earth. Your years here are merely a record of your presence on the planet. They have nothing to do with age, unless you claim it.
Claim your birthright of perfect life and health. Accept that your body is constantly being renewed, and aid the process by thinking positively, practicing the presence of God and living life lovingly. Bless your body with positive, life-giving thoughts and feelings and feed it healthy, alive food.
Your Subconscious Mind is Always Life-ward
Your subconscious mind is the builder of your body and is on the job 24/7. You interfere with its life-giving patterns by negative thinking.
Charge your subconscious with the task of evolving an answer to any problem, prior to sleep and it will answer you.
You can remake yourself by giving a new blue-print to your subconscious mind.
The tendency of your subconscious is always life-ward. Your job is with your conscious mind. Feed your subconscious mind with premises which are true.
You build a new body every eleven to twelve months. Change your body by changing your thoughts and keeping them changed.
It is abnormal to be ill. It is normal to be healthy. Within you is the innate principle of harmony.
Thoughts of fear, jealousy, worry, hate, resentment and anxiety tear down and destroy the body.
Affirm and feel as true, that which is life-giving, positive, harmonious, peaceful, loving, and healthy and your body will not only respond in a healthy way, it will thank you for being so kind to it.

FYI
Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight! “Sugar-free” products often contain Aspartame, which is very toxic to the body and you are wise to avoid it.
Organic SUCANAT (Sugar Cane Natural) is dried sugar cane juice and a really good sweetener. It is made naturally with very little processing, has a good flavor, and can be found in most health and natural food stores. It is far healthier than white sugar.
