The Prayers of Faith is Medicine
Today’s Task Reading:
Prayer is the key to getting access to God, our doctor. God delights when we seek Him in Prayer (Proverbs 15:8). God listens to the prayers of the righteous. The key is not to worry, but to make our request known to God by prayer and continual petitions with thanksgiving so God can keep our hearts and our minds (Philippians 4:6-7). Let us replace worrying with worship and thanksgiving (Colossians 4:2). Since God hears us when we pray and provides us what we ask according to His will (1 John 5:14-15).
It’s incredible how our thinking affects our health. Proverbs 17:22 mentions how a cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit brings fatigue. There is another ailment that doesn’t seem to affect us, but it affects us like poison – it is a sin. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), but we can have eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
In Day 87, we discussed how Jesus gives us Hope, and Hope is like...
God the Holy Spirit is Medicine
Today’s Task Reading:
Today we will discuss how God the Son is our medicine. God, our Father, provided "Jesus" the Son of God to be our medicine. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Jesus came to heal. Matthew 4:23-25 illustrates how Jesus healed the multitude. Matthew 8:1-3 demonstrates how Jesus healed the leper. Matthew 8:5-10 shows how Jesus interceded for the healing of a soldier's servant. Matthew 9:27-31 illustrates how Jesus healed the blind. Matthew 9:32-33 demonstrates how Jesus healed the demon-possessed. Mark 7:31-37 illustrates how Jesus healed the deaf. John 5:1-15 shows how Jesus healed the disabled. So it is easy to see how Jesus came to cure all diseases and forgive. Through Christ, we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus heals us with His redeeming blood. When Jesus died and rose from the dead, He illustrated to us how much He cares...

God the Father is Medicine
Today’s Task Reading:
This week we will focus on the various ways we can receive healing. Today we will discuss how God the Father is medicine for our sickness and diseases. One of the main reasons why God the Father is medicine for our body, soul, and spirit, because He keeps all His promises, and that gives us hope (Deuteronomy 7:9). Fortunately for us, hope makes our heart glad (Psalm 16:9). Proverbs 17:22 says a cheerful heart is good medicine.
The second reason God the Father is medicine. He has given us the 1st line of defense against disease with green leafy vegetables and herbs (Genesis 1:12). God said herbs are excellent for treating as well as preventing diseases (Revelation 22:2). Moreover, God said fruit and leaves are great for healing (Ezekiel 47:10). So if anyone is sick, seek God 1st and then send them to herb shop.
Most importantly, God is our healer (Exodus 15:26). God heals us and forgives us (Psalms 103:3). All we need to do is cry out to God for help,...
Wise Counsel is Medicine
Today’s Task Reading:
This week is the last week of the Series!
God has been so good and has taught us so many great things relating to health and wealth. Today we will focus on setting up a healthy support system of counselors, advisors, and mentors. They help us succeed (Proverbs 15:22). They give us security (Proverbs 11:14, Ecclesiastes 7:12). They provide us with victory (Proverbs 24:6). They help us strategize and fight to receive what is rightfully ours (Proverbs 20:18). Wise instructions gives us life (Proverbs 4:13). James 1:5 says if we lack wisdom, we should pray for wisdom, and God will provide it.
We should do whatever it takes to avoid lousy counsel. So we must make sure our counsel is wise because a horrible support system ruins our morals (1 Corinthians 15:33). So we must test if our support system is from God because they should acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come as God in the flesh. (1 John 4:1-2). Wise counsel isn’t prideful, but humble; humble...
Aromatherapy
Today’s Task Reading:
There is healing power in smelling essential oils. The oils can be applied in many different ways for pain relief, nausea relief, fatigue relief, and stress relief. We can inhale it straight from the bottle. We can put a few drops in your hands and rub them together and cup them over our mouth and nose. We can put a drop of it on a pendant and fasten it around our neck. We can add 10-15 drops of essential oils to 1⁄4 cup of Epson salt. We can drip 1-2 drops of essential oil in a bowl of steaming filter water. We can drop essential oils into a diffuser. We can add oil to car diffuser. We can get a massage with essential oils. We can massage a few drops of essential oils on the bottom of our feet before going to bed using the techniques discussed on Day 79. We can take it orally, but carefully under the direction of a health practitioner. We can add it to a warm bath. We can add essential oils directly to our pulse points and wear as a perfume.

Walk
Today’s Task Reading:
Walking is an exercise that everyone can do. We can walk inside or outside. We can walk with a group or by ourselves. Walking is a low impact, aerobic exercise that is easy to follow and effective in results. The average person loses 13 pounds when they walk an additional 15 minutes in their first year of walking.
Walking is a total body workout that is safe and natural. All we need to do is place one foot in front of the other. As a Walk15 instructor, I am certified to teach indoor walking. In the warm- up segment of my Praisemoves class, we do indoor walking. When teaching the class, I like for us to put on the Full Armor of God, which helps us stand against our enemies’ traps (Ephesians 6:11-13). We put on the belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14), which reminds us that Jesus is the way, truth, and life, by lifting our knees. We put on the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14), which keeps us in fellowship with Holy God, by stepping from side...
PraiseMoves
Today’s Task Reading:
This week we are learning different ways we can de-stress when life gets chaotic.
PraiseMoves is an excellent way for us to de-stress because we are exercising our bodies while we meditate and speak scriptures. Meditating and speaking the Word of God while stretching and strengthening our bodies is the primary goal of PraiseMoves. It helps us to perform deep control breathing and improves our flexibility. It decreases the stiffness in our bodies, lowers our blood pressure and stress levels. It tones and strengthens our muscles, improves our respiration and boosts our energy.
Since stress restricts blood flow, it can leads to knots in our muscles. So as we stretch in PraiseMoves, we are increasing our blood flow, which elevates our mood. It relaxes the muscles, which helps with pain because tight muscles are more likely to be painful and prone to injuries. Loosening muscles improves the quality of life. Deep breathing soothes the body and release stress.

Study, Pray & Meditate on Scriptures
Today’s Task Reading:
When we are experiencing a difficult time, the right thing to do is go to God’s word. There are five ways we can use God’s word to deal with the stresses of life: We can hear it, read it, study it, memorize it, and meditate on it.
Hearing scriptures builds up our faith (Romans 10:17). Unfortunately, we all have the challenge of overcoming selective hearing. If we don’t care for the message we are hearing, we tend to ignore it. If we like the message we are hearing, we tend to receive it. Nevertheless, if we are God’s followers, we will know His voice and follow it (John 10:27). Yet, we need to be careful and avoid speaking words of doubt and unbelief because it prevents God’s from operating in our lives (Matthew 13:58). So we need to make sure we speak the truth by following the Holy Spirit that guides us to all truth (John 16:13-14).
Reading scriptures opens our eyes to God’s truth (Psalm 119:18). The Bible Project...
Reflexology
Today’s Task Reading:
We are in week 12, and this week we are focusing on ways we can de-stress. On Day 78, we discussed how homeopathy remedies could help us de-stress. Today we will discuss how reflexology can help us de-stress.
Reflexology is an excellent way to de-stress because it improves circulation, cleanses the body of toxins, tunes-up the body, revitalizes energy and is considered preventive health care. Reflexology encourages the massaging of appropriate points in the feet that mirror organs of the body to assist the body with self-healing and illness prevention. Usually, when an area on foot is tender, it means that a particular area needs extra attention for restoration. According to ChineseFootReflexology.com, there are certain things we can do to our feet to relieve stress, worry and anxiety.
First, we can massage our big toe in an up, down, side to side motion for 30 seconds on each toe to improve headaches, insomnia, and irritability. The organ ...
