🐍 Throw the Viper into the Fire!
After his third missionary journey, Paul went to Jerusalem, where he was arrested. While being escorted to Rome to stand trial before Caesar, he encountered a violent storm. In the face of death, by God’s help, Paul and those with him miraculously survived and landed on the island of Malta.
While gathering sticks to build a fire, a viper bit Paul, but he shook it off into the flames and remained completely unharmed.
There is mystery, eternal love, life, power, and wisdom in the name of Jesus.
“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
— Mark 16:17–18
Just as Paul was bitten by a venomous snake and simply shook it off into the fire,
we too must cast into the fire—in Jesus’ name—the things that afflict, weaken, and poison us.
Believe in Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, buried, and rose again on the third day, who conquered sin, death, and crushed the serpent’s head. He ascended to heaven and now intercedes for us at the right hand of God. He is preparing a place for us in the heavenly kingdom to which we are going.
Let us all trust in Jesus, receive healing, restoration, strength, and new hope with thanksgiving!
❤️ The 7 Keys to UltraWellness
— from Dr. Mark Hyman
-
Optimize Nutrition
We are made of what we eat. For our biology, biochemistry, and physiology to operate at their best, we need quality building blocks: proper balance and quality of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and plant nutrients. Most of us live in a state of nutritional imbalance.
-
Balance Your Hormones
Hormones like insulin, thyroid, sex hormones, and stress hormones form a molecular symphony. For true health, they must function in harmony.
-
Eliminate Inflammation
Our body must defend itself from invaders and internal damage. If this system malfunctions or overreacts, it causes disease. Inflammation of the brain is central to all chronic illnesses, as well as psychiatric and neurological conditions. If your brain isn’t functioning, it is most likely inflamed.
-
Optimize Digestion
Digesting, absorbing, and assimilating nutrients is absolutely essential. The digestive system also protects us from toxins, bacteria, and allergens. When this system fails, disease follows.
-
Detoxify Your Body
The body must eliminate metabolic waste and environmental toxins from food, air, water, and medicine. In the 21st century, the toxic burden is often more than the body can handle—leading to illness.
-
Boost Energy Metabolism
Life is energy. If our cells can’t produce energy, we die. Extracting energy from food and oxygen is the essence of life. Keeping this metabolic engine running smoothly is critical for health. Energy loss is seen in nearly all brain disorders.
-
Calm the Mind
Living with meaning, love, support, and connection is essential to well-being. The crushing stress of the modern world—social isolation, overwork, and lack of purpose—puts tremendous strain on our nervous system, leading to burnout and breakdown.
