What's the Secret?

The secret to health is in the internal cleansing of the body. This is another one of our principles. Cleansing the body's system. There are healthy effects to cleansing the body. Like most people, we have spent most of our lives eating dead foods and not providing the body its needs like quality food, water, exercise, and rest just to name a few. So it should be no surprise to us that our body is in deep need of these things and a good cleaning out!

You may experience symptoms of discomfort during your fast or any change in your eating or lifestyle change - even with exercise your body goes through some discomfort before it is at a healthy place. Some of the symptoms you may or may not experience could be headaches or lightheadedness, nausea, chills, cramping, cold symptoms or disturbed sleep. These symptoms will only be telling you that your fasting is even more necessary than you thought! It doesn't mean it's time to stop fasting. That thought does not come from God but His #1 enemy who wants to keep you unhealthy and sick to die young so there's no time for you to fulfill your purpose on this earth!

Keep this in mind: The healthier you are the easier it is to fast. So the first fast you are on will be your hardest but as you put fasting into your weekly, monthly, or yearly routine you will have a much easier time with it.

If or when you do experience any of these symptoms I suggest this be a time when you have your vegetable broth, cauliflower soup and/or partake in the Lord's Supper. Not all will experience all of these symptoms - maybe you'll experience none! Hallelujah! However, if at any time they become too much for you, you can stop the fast and try it again at another time. Don't beat yourself up or feel guilty either, you may just need to move in this area of fasting a little slower than you did. These symptoms will become less and less a problem for you and eventually diminish completely as you become cleansed on the inside.

Here's to your health!
