Learn more about them in my blog.  

1

God wants us to be healthy.

3 John 2

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

2

God wants to restore our health and heal our wounds.

Jeremiah 30:17

For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.” ’

3

The health of our spirit, body, and soul (mind, will, emotions) cannot be separated.

Proverbs 14:30

A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.

4

Our bodies do not belong to us; they are God's temple for His Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

​

Ephesians 2:19-22

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.​

5

God's design shows us how to care for His Holy Spirit's temple.

Exodus 25:8-9

And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

6

Our health is a battleground in the war for souls.

Job 2:4-5

So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!”

7

The battle for health is a spiritual battle for your will that must be fought with the whole armor of God on all fronts: body, soul, and spirit.

​Ephesians 6:13

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

What does the Bible say about our health?

These are the 7 basic principles of Kingdom Health.

  1. God wants us to be healthy. (3 John 2)

    • 3 John 2 - Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.​

  2. God wants us to seek Him for health restoration, and He wants us to LET Him heal us.

    • Jeremiah 30:17 - For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.” ’

  3. As temples of God's Holy Spirit, individually and corporately, we have a responsibility to care for ourselves accordingly. 

    • 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

  4. Our health is health of spirit, body, and soul (mind, will, emotions); they cannot be separated. 

    • Psalm 38:3 - There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones because of my sin.

    • Proverbs 14:30 - A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.

  5. God's design of our bodies and the earth shows us how to be healthy. 

    • Exodus 25:8-9 8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

  6. The battle for health is the battle for the will, but it is fought and won in the mind. 

    • 2 Corinthians 3:16 - Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

    • Romans 12:2 - And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

  7. Satan will attack our health to make us less effective in the war for souls and prevent us from living the abundant life promised by our Lord Jesus Christ.

    • John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
