    Thoughts, the battle in our minds

    What are you thinking right now? What have you been thinking about today? Are you worried, thinking about the challenges you face or thinking about pleasant things, rolling hills and wild flowers perhaps? Our thoughts are important; it shapes who we are and who we become. If you dwell on negative thoughts, you will become negative and so perceived by others. Did you know that your thoughts play a role in your health too?

    Fasting… why and how to

    If you were to think long and hard about it; you would realize that fasting is actually a mystery. Why would abstaining from food be significant in our spiritual walk and why should we do it and how? Many questions go through my mind; I am certain through yours too. We fast at least one day, every year, because we are commanded to fast on the day of Atonement. That fast is about repentance. So why fast at other times?

    Scriptural introduction to prayer

    Prayer is something most believers take for granted. There should be no need to do a study to convince believers that praying is something they should do on a regular basis. However, when we get into a bit more detail, we still find a lot of varying positions and teachings on specific dimensions of prayer.

    The Plan of Man in Health and Healing

    What do you do when you get ill? What do you do when your child becomes ill? Do you automaticaly pick up the phone and call the doctor or do you  consult  the internet or your guide on herbal or natural remedies?  What about healthy eating?  Homeopatic remedies?  Ayurvedic medicine? Healing frequencies? Linen garments? There are so many  different possibilities out there. What do we choose ? What can or should we as believers in Yahovah do when we or our family members get ill? We are His set-apart people. Can or should  we as His set-apart people be putting our faith in any of the above or should we turn to Yahovah in prayer? I believe that we need to first and foremost seek Yahovah in prayer in order to know what we should do and then act in obedience. Doing anything other than that is idolatry! That is quite a harsh statement. Let us explore this further.
