“If Man Made It, Don’t Eat It”
 
Jack Lalanes modo, He lived to 96 with a good quality of life.
 
We have so much processed food in the world now. Not food that are processed for good health but big profits. I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian for over 30 years because I wanted to eat lower on the food chain. I knew what they where doing wanted to protect myself. About I year ago I stopped. I came across the Keto Diet and that diet keep your insulation levels low. That is a good thing for me because diabetes runs in my family. I did it for over 6 months as a vegetarian. Then I realized the I would not be able to travel and eat. So, I needed to make a change. So I now eat meat again but most of the time it is grass finished. I will brake down my story over time.
 
Natural Foods
 
            Eating food as God intended. Most people know that they are eating something God made or man-made. There are over 20 names for sugar on packaging and we need to remove it to heal our bodies me included.
 
High fructose corn syrup was first introduced to our food supply in the 1970s. We are eating so many junk carbs that are loaded with sugar. Even our catchup is lased with sugar. The main growth was from 1980 to 2000. These foods are addictive and I know stopping will not be easy.
 
Clean water
 
When we do not drink water, we have a lot of health issues that start showing up. They include fatigue, headaches, dry mouth, muscle and joint pain, muscle weakness, dizziness and lightheadedness. That is not all them there are more.
 
Fasting
 
To some people fasting is a scary word. I have got into a pattern of fasting and I am loving it and feeling better and it is getting easier every time I do it. My current schedule is…
 
M-F fast 18 hours Eat in a 6 an hour window.
 
Saturday and Sunday, I fast for 13 eat in an 11-hour window.
 
I am not a medical Doctor you should always check with your doctor before you start fasting.
 
From everything I have read anything under 48 hours of water fasting is safe for most people.
 
Have you ever fasted? Talk about it here
 
My final thoughts are that we need to understand that what we put in our body directly effects our health. God love you just the way you are but sometime he wants us to change for the better. If you are wanting to make a change we are here to help and encourage.

Are your prayers knocking?

Blog post 3

Are your prayers knocking? ​

This week we are exploring the concept of knocking on God’s door. What does that mean and why should we do it?
 
Let’s first go to scriptures. Mathews 7:7-8.
 
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks find, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
 
I always thought this text was about salvation being available to every person that asks, seeks and knocks. We can debate if God makes the first move or we do. But I believe we can agree that God does not turn his back on anyone that wants a relationship with Him.
 
Now I see this as 3 levels of Prayer first being asking for help in life. The second is seeking God’s will in your life understanding that God Likes to give you good gifts and blessings. The third is to knocking and what this week is all about.
 
How to knock? I think about it this way. It starts our Faith from that comes to Worship Him and them our Intent. Our Intent can open eyes, change hearts, bring healing of our mind heart, body and soul, grant us wisdom and defeat demons. That is a short list there are many more.
 
I very mush want this site to be a place of knocking and healing.
let's get started!

Religion vs Gospel

Blog post 2

Religion vs the Gospel.

Here is a comparison of Religion vs the Gospel from my notes of a Matt Chandler sermon at the Village Church. I have used these guidelines to live the Gospel in my daily life.  

Religion

Gospel

I obey so then I am accepted.

     I obey to be accepted.

The blood of Christ.

     I am accepted so I obey

Fear based believe in God or go to hell

 

     Fear or insecurity

Heaven is not a place for people that fear hell but love Jesus Christ. 

     Grateful Joy

We obey God to get things from God

     

     We do it to get things

We obey God to be transformed into His image.

     We do it to get God

What you do when circumstances go wrong.

     Get angry with God or Yourself. 

     You did not measure up or God has    betrayed you.

When difficult circumstances fall on us.

     We struggle and fully embrace that God’s entire wrath were poured out on Jesus Christ on the cross.

     He has allowed this thing in our life for training. This is not about His anger towards us or our failure and He will walk through it with us as a loving Father. 

Prayer is about controlling your environment. 

     Give me give me and give me more

     Fix this do this make this happen

Prayer is about adoration 

     Love, esteem and respect of God

When someone criticizes you.

     Your world started to unravel and you get angry or self loathing because yourself worth is based on doing right and being a good person. 

     You’re Framework for acceptability in God’s eyes collapses.

When someone criticizes you. You still struggle with the criticism but it was criticism that brought you to the cross. You knew you had failed in an area and you needed a savior.   

Myself view is sitting on one of 2 Poles

     Doing everything right and have a swagger about you and not sympathetic to people failing. 

    Doing things wrong you feel defeated and God is frustrated and angry with you. 

Myself view

     I am bad enough that Jesus had to die for me. 

     Jesus loved me so much that he was glad to do it. 

    That gives me a balance between defeated and swagger.

Self worth

   Based on how hard you work

   How good you are

   You look with disdain that others do not work as hard as you.

 

Religious Persona

     A better person by believing and protected it at all cost. 

    Keep your mouth shut about the dark things that lurk in your home. 

    Not after God you are after some religiosity that you built.  

Self worth

     You have been saved by grace in faith and even that faith to believe was given to you by God. So that you will not be able to boast in anything. 

 

No religious persona

     We do not relish in being good men or women

    You are not perfect and Jesus loved you anyway

Launch Party

Blog post 1

Happy New Year and Welcome to the Launch Party.​

This is a new chapter in my walk with God. This site was a lot of work and I am still working on making it better. 

So what is Christian Meds? My original idea was to make meditation for Christians based on scriptures. But God had a different plan for the site. He gave me a vision of 12 topics that all have to deal with healing love joy and honoring God. So there are three sides to the site. They are a blog that I will post weekly. A YouTube channel that I will record you to record videos on each topic. And a social media site like Facebook to further the conversation. This is part of a social experiment to see if we can find common ground as Christians on some of the tough topics that the church is dealing with today. I believe that people younger than me are going to find this site a good way to interact and get their voices heard. 

God gave me the vision to build the biggest room possible so that we can discuss topics pertaining to the church. So if you want to talk politics or bash somebody please do that on a different site than this one. I want this to be a positive space to build up each other love on the other. Understand each other‘s point of you even if we disagree. I know in the history of the church that we have divided so many times. I think the first step is to try to understand each other‘s points of view and that only starts with a civil conversation. I know that we all have hurts habits and hangups and we have experiences or people and the church of hurt us. So to make the conversation as safe as possible there is a SafeWord so if anybody makes a post with the word STOP as the first word you need to back off and show the person love. 

I hope you decide to join this community and tell your friends. It’ll be interesting where God takes this I hope you enjoy the ride.

let's get started!
