Sickness, because of sin, is a judgment of Lord, but it can be removed if we make things right with Lord. All prayer in world will not heal affliction caused by sin. Only prayer and repentance can remove it. If prayer and repentance do not remove affliction, then problem can be due to a third reason Bible gives, violation of God’s health laws!

3. The Violation of God’s Health Laws We read in 1 Corinthians 3:16-18, “Know ye not that ye are temple of God, and that Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile temple of God, him shall God destroy; for temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.” 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20. “What? Know ye not that your body is temple of Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” If Christian does not care for his body, God will destroy him! If we can’t be trusted to take care of what we have now, how can we be trusted in heaven throughout eternity?

Dear fellow Christians, Let us take a good look at ourselves to see if we are violating God’s laws of health. Let us fall on our knees and ask for understanding on what Bible says about care of our bodies. We can start taking care of ourselves today. So let’s get healthy!

When you can't beat it, hide from it. Adam found shame in himself, and covered it. So should we. Not so much in our bodies (that's pretty obvious) but in our minds. We can't spend our time fighting temptation. We're likely to loose, especially with that serpent still spreading his venom. No, we have to cover it with something else. If you find yourself loosing patience, it won't do any good to try to talk yourself out of it. You're better off putting a prayer in place of your anger. And then move on. Put your hands and your mind to use. It's like old challenge "Don't think pink." You can't do it. You're thinking pink right now aren't you. In order to stop thinking pink, you need to think 'blue'.
