Some people don't do much for their health and sooner or later they pay the price.

It is also true with our spiritual health. If we are wise we keep watch over our spiritual condition and try to stay healthy. If we don't we pay the price sooner or later.

Some folks only do things for their health when they are sick. The same is true with their spiritual life. They only do something about their spiritual life when they are in trouble.

We don't seem to learn that if I take care of my body I am not sick as much or as badly. When I see to my spiritual life on a regular basis I don't run into spiritual problems so often.

Is everything well with your body?

Is everything well with your soul?

Is everything well with your spirit?

Do you know that your physical condition can have an effect on your soul and spirit? An emotional problem can effect body or spirit. A spiritual problem can effect both your soul and body.

When you consider this you understand why a doctor can't always help you. A minister can't always help you. A counselor can't always help you. There is one who can always be of help, the Holy Spirit.

One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is discernment. This gift is needed in the body of Christ for our good health in all things. With discernment we can tell where the root of the problem lies.

Many Christian people never find a place of stability they are always up or down, depending on their circumstance at the time. For many of these people they have not laid a solid foundation. It speaks about this in Hebrews 6.

What do you need for a shot? A special teaching, deliverance, the right doctor, the right medication or maybe the right counsel. Maybe you need prayer or a good confession. Maybe what you need is exercise or a good vacation. You might even need to find new friends; some of your old ones may not be good for you

I was blessed from things people said about the last newsletter, A Driven Nation (Sept. 1999). Some people found what was driving them and made a change!

I hope I hear some good reports from this one. Some of you will find what you need for a shot and take it. My prayer for you is that you will have good discernment for yourself as well as your family concerning your body, soul and spirit.
