How We Are Justified by Faith

How We Are Justified by Faith

By Craig Condon

In Romans chapters 2 and three, Paul argued that through the Gospel, it is faith that brings humans into harmony with God. In the passage we heard from Romans, Paul considers Abraham as an example. Abraham was blessed because he believed, had faith, that he would be father of a nation and a source of blessing for everyone. Abraham received the promises of God through faith, and not through the law.

The basis of Abraham's relationship with God was faith, and faith is the primary basis of our relationship with God. Abraham's faith was confidence in a person-God. The object of faith matters more than anything else. Abraham's faith was exemplary, because his faith was in God. Abraham's faith was related to his knowledge of God, the object of his faith. He had faith in the God who could breathe life into deadness, especially since God breathed life into Abraham and Sarah so they could have a child.

Abraham's faith was conversant with the problems he faced. His faith was consistent in its progress. When he was faced with delay and discouragement with God's plan, his faith didn't waver. It was strengthened. He was also convinced that God's promises would be fulfilled. Abraham knew that God never promises anything He can't deliver. Do we believe that? If we do, then it only makes sense to put our complete trust in Him, regardless of how dark our circumstances might appear. All believers become heirs with Abraham of the promise. Abraham's faith is a good example of the faith we as Christians should have. It led to Abraham's justification. He had faith in a God what could provide the divine answer to the human problem.

When God's people look to the law for justification instead of to God, failure to keep the law makes them guilty and they face death instead of life. God's promise of the law is uncertain. His promise of faith is certain. The promise given to Abraham has not expired nor become the private possession of any one race. It permeates the entire world.

Abraham's faith conquered impossibility, improbability, inadequacy, inconsistency, insecurity and infidelity. Abraham believed in the God of creation, who "calls those things which do not exist as though they did." This is the essence of faith. The same God of Genesis 1-2 who brought forth life and the earth and sky out of nothing also brought forth Isaac, the son of promise, from the deadness of Sarah's womb. Later, at the altar, standing over that same son with a knife in obedience to the Lord, Abraham again believed that God could give life to the dead. Hope that is centered in God is contrary to the world's hope.

Abraham did not waver in his faith at the time of testing, God's ability to perform His promises was the foundation of Abraham's faith's stability. Faith looks past the gift to the Giver and past the promise to the One who promises. Abraham's faith was linked to God's power and faithfulness. Abraham didn't have great cause to expect God to fulfill His promise because of the circumstances Abraham was in. In spite of this, he believed God's Word and looked forward to the time when his offspring would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.

God can declare people who believe in Him to be righteous even though they aren't. He can do this by giving His righteousness to them, just like He declared Jesus' "Sin" and punished Him even though Jesus was not a sinner. If Abraham was justified by faith, then all of us are justified on the same basis. The proof is God's acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice. God would be able to be just and yet justify the ungodly.

God considered Abraham a righteous man because Abraham looked beyond the limitations of his age. God considered Abraham to be someone who could accomplish His goals. Abraham accepted God by faith. Similarly, if we accept God by faith, God's grace will be available to us. When we act in faith, we give God the glory for the outcome, like Abraham did. Abraham didn't parade greatness or look for praise from others.

When his hope died, Abraham went on hoping in faith. Similarly, when we are at a dead end in our lives, we need faith, and we need to read and study the Bible. It gives us encouragement because even if something is out of our control, it isn't out of God's control. As we spend time reading and studying the Bible, God will show us how to live by faith. We do this by preparing well, speaking in a Christ like manner, sharing God's love and understanding that God wants to change our lives.

Faith is something that is strengthened over time. Abraham and Sarah waited for years for God to fulfill His promise. Abraham considered and thought about God's strength and ability. He thought about God's faithfulness and gave praise and glory to God. Abraham's faith allowed God to do mighty things in and through him.

God gives us great promises-the same promises made to Abraham-and invites us to come by faith and receive the grace of those promises and the fullness of life with God. God invites us to join Him in a bond of peace that nothing that can overthrow and that is richer, fuller and more durable than anything the world can offer.

Paul understands Jesus' death as representative of all humanity. Jesus entered the death into which all humanity condemned by its sinfulness and then rose from the dead. His resurrection is representative of what can be true for all who accept what God has declared in the story of Jesus. There can be no discrimination based on race and religious tradition. All human beings need to enter a relationship of faith with God, and all human beings can enter that relationship. Paul argues that we shouldn't think of Abraham in terms of being the patriarch of Israel, but rather as the model and mentor of all who believe.

So how do we lay hold of these promises so that we may enjoy the full and abundant life He plans for us?

1. We need to make sure we understand the promises of God and that we see them for as precious and great as they are.
2. We must give glory to God for His promises-praising and thanking Him daily, taking the promises back to Him and exalting Him for such grace and mercy, rehearsing our plans and visions before Him with gratitude and praise.
3. We must remember that we are called to be people of faith who are not misled by denominational traditions. The law has always been a mean of pointing the way to God. It is an instrument that helps us know and do the divine will. As such the law is meant to free us, but when the law is mistaken for an end, the consequence can be a state of spiritual confusion in which all hope is obscured. The law can't set us right with God and therefore give us access to God's promised blessings. Any relationship with God that is grounded in and lives out of the law is not a right relationship.

When we praise God, we're putting our faith in action. Just as putting our physical bodies into action so they will grow strong, putting our faith in action through prayer, worship and thanksgiving will make it grown strong too.

Faith is the determination to keep on walking with God no matter what happens, and that faith results in commitment. Faith demands dependence and we resist depending on God because of our stubborn independence. It's hard for us to trust God more fully because of our willful pride and our sinful nature.

The world judges us by how much we can gather for ourselves, but there are no wages in heaven. In faith, God sets us free of needing to earn our way. We are freely showered with God's mercy. When we see our lives from God's viewpoint, we no longer have to worry about comparing ourselves to others. No one has to be worthy. God's grace overturns all our economies. Abraham and Sarah trusted God, though His promise seemed to good to be true, and they received a son whom they nicknamed "Laughter." We trust that the same God whose promise is good and true and receive abundant, eternal life in Jesus.

More Than a Difference of Opinions

More Than a Difference of Opinions

By Michael A Verdicchio

Right or Left? Liberal or Conservative? Democrat or Republican?

There has always been a difference of opinions in this country. There always will be. However, the divisiveness and intolerance for opposing views has escalated, and in some cases to the extreme.

Concerning the hot social issues in this "information age" we live in, there is an abundance of information, as well as misinformation, promoted on many fronts. From social media, to online news services, to 24 hour cable news outlets, platforms providing information continue to grow.

I was talking with someone a few weeks ago who told me he gets all his news from Facebook. He's not alone. According to a Pew study last year, 67% of U.S. adults get at least some news on social media. Facebook, they reported, still leads other social media in that category.

Differences of opinion are one thing, but isn't it sad to see so many in our country caught up in all this extreme divisiveness? The Right demeans the Left; Liberals condemn Conservatives; Democrats hate Republicans. Many who loudly and proudly say they advocate tolerance are themselves very intolerant. Many who preach love are not very loving.

The Christian Response

For the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, what should our response be to all this political and social unrest? Maybe we ought to consider how Jesus handled the political and social scene in his country when he walked the earth. It was certainly not an ideal environment, to say the least.

Some 60 years before Jesus was born, the Romans expanded their empire and occupied Israel. Can you imagine seeing armed soldiers from another country stationed in your city! While the Jewish leaders had some authority over certain matters, Rome had the ultimate power and authority, and they wielded it vigorously.

In addition to government officials appointed by Rome, such as governors and others, Judaism at the time of Jesus was a complex mixture of divergent social, political and religious ideologies.

There was the Zealot movement, comprised of those who were trying to actively fight for their freedom from Rome. Some have referred to them as revolutionary freedom fighters.
Wealthy lay-nobles, priests and aristocrats, the Sadducees, tried to keep their power through compromise with Rome. The Sanhedrin came from this group.
Temple Priests not only officiated over the religious life of the Jews, but were also rulers and judges. In Jesus' time, King Herod, bowing to Rome, decided who would be the High Priest.
Most of the Scribes (the 'theologians' of the day) were Pharisees. They promoted a strict, meticulous observance of rites and ceremonies of the written law. They were extremely legalistic.
King Herod was a client king appointed by Rome. He and his sons were vicious murderers.
The Herodians were a political party that wanted to restore a Herod to the throne in Judea as well as other areas ruled by Herod the Great. They were political foes of the Pharisees who wished to restore the kingdom of David.
The Samaritans were despised by the Jews as foreigners who worshipped the Lord in the wrong way. It was taught that Jews should have no dealings with them.
And there were the Essenes, who thought the solution was isolation, to withdraw from society completely.

The Light of the World!

Jesus didn't promote withdrawing. He certainly wasn't legalistic. He didn't compromise with the Romans, and he never advocated a violent overthrow of Rome. Instead, he taught the people about God. He brought light to his dark world. So can we.

Jesus saw the bigger picture - his Father's picture. He taught people about the goodness of God. He encouraged love and forgiveness. He healed people. So can we.

He told his followers they were the light of the world. He said, "Let your light so shine among men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The only "cause" Jesus was involved with was doing the will of his Father. When confronted by people of various groups of Judaism or Rome, he responded with the Truth. In some cases, he was silent. There is very little recorded about his interaction with Rome, but what is written speaks volumes.

Our Country Needs Light!

Of course we're not blind to the cultural deterioration, hate and darkness we see and hear all around us. But whether it's here in the United States, or in any country, those who know God's Word ought to be promoting God's Light! The last thing Jesus said before he ascended was that we are to be witnesses to the ends of the earth.

You and I can bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of peace to people in our part of the earth. Instead of getting caught up in all the divisive ruckus, we can, to the best of our ability, let our light shine. We can bring people the Good News about our good God, and about His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

At the end of the recent Super Bowl, it was refreshing to see both the winning coach, and then two players, acknowledge Jesus Christ and God for their success. They didn't use that platform to make a political statement, or a protest. Instead, they promoted the True God and His Son.

And one other thing that is often overlooked, but so critically important: Scripture admonishes us to pray for those in authority, period. The reason? So that we can lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness. Our leaders need our prayers!

There will always be difference of opinions in the political and social arenas. But as a follower of Jesus Christ, pray for your country! And, let your light shine by speaking His Truth!

I Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

A Time To Speak

A Time To Speak

By Bob Faulkner

My early days in the Lord were spent in a nearby church of Christ. Great folks, I honor them still for teaching me the Word, and to live by only the things recorded therein.

So when I thought I had found something in that Word that did not seem to be in accord with the training I had received, I felt compelled to leave all behind and follow that truth.

I did not have to leave them, actually. As far as the ministry was concerned -and I had trained for it for four years - I was given the left foot of fellowship.

The "truth" I had found was in the whole realm of the gifts of the Spirit, the "baptism" of the Holy Spirit, the availability today of the same power that was present at Pentecost. Spiritual gifts in particular.

That was what I believed. I had been troubled by it for years, seeing high school friends and neighbors who seemed to have something I did not have, regarding spiritual things. They spoke of Jesus confidently and with joy. My own expression had centered on the more cerebral side of the Bible. I wanted to get the facts right and proclaim those facts. A teacher was being born in me, and I wanted to teach people perfect truth.

All of that was shattered when I saw those other passages in the Word. Of course, they had been there all along, but we were taught that they were for the first century. And I believed it.

But not now. I found the critical turning-point verse in 1 Corinthians 13:8. For me, everything hinged on the proper interpretation of that verse about gifts passing away. Paul spoke of something "perfect" coming along that would replace that which was partial. I became confident that the "perfect" thing that Paul spoke of was the state of affairs that will prevail when Jesus comes again. Therefore, since Jesus had not returned, the gifts would have to continue to survive until He did.

A bit shaky a foundation, just that one verse. But it had to do. It seemed to answer so much.

When booted from the church of Christ ministry I sought refuge in a standard Pentecostal church, the Assemblies of God denomination. This was a group whose umbrella was broad enough to take in charismatics like me and old-style Pentecostals too.

I became a part of that church and others like it over the years.

After living a while in the city where I had studied, and had even started a church, circumstances brought me back to my home town. By this time, I had "matured" in these new teachings to the point where I had to concede that, if the Spirit's presence in a person was the basis for fellowship with them, then anyone who claimed to be "filled with the Spirit" must be my brother or sister. What a leap of understanding!

I met such a "Spirit-filled" sister in a Christian home created by Teen Challenge for persons who had no other place to go. I was in that category at the time, and was glad to find a place to live. This was Columbus, Ohio.

She was Roman Catholic. Anathema to me at one time, suddenly it was all OK. Within months, we were married. Only three years had passed before my monumental change had overtaken me. But it would get worse.

Not long into our marriage, we visited a Christian drive-in movie. The film of the night was Billy Graham's Shadow of the Boomerang. Over the months I had been seeking God for an experience. I wanted to have assurance of my salvation, but I also wanted to speak in tongues and therefore know that I was truly filled with the Spirit. Like millions before and after me, my heart was sincere. I believed this gift was out there, and necessary.

So, on this night, you will understand why I believed my prayers had come before God and gotten a positive response. Billy preached a message at the end of the movie. He preached about sin and our need to be forgiven. For the first time of hearing a Graham message - and I had heard many, even memorized some - I really heard it. It went deep inside of me. I was a sinner. A great sinner. Tears flowed. Something was happening. A real spirit of repentance, not something I had cooked up.

There followed a huge joy, overwhelming, unspeakable. I became obnoxious, I am sure, to my wife and anyone who might have heard me. I was fairly glowing with the joy of the Lord.

Then I did something that had repercussions for many, many years to come. Since I had been trained that believers can be baptized "the same hour of the night", as the Philippine jailer, and since I believed that now at last my other "baptism" would come, I took over the scene that was unfolding. I would call our new preacher friend, I would have him baptize me, and I would be filled that very night!

My plan was carried out without a hitch. Except... When I came up out of the waters of the Scioto River, thinking how this must be the moment, there was some serious hesitation within me. I had some syllables rattling around my brain, but there was no "outpouring", no Heavenly visitation. I actually stopped the proceedings and asked the preacher if I should just say out loud what was in my head! Of course, he agreed.

And from that moment until, well, I am ashamed to put in print how many years passed, I lived with doubt about my experience. The first part gave me no trouble. I knew sin was being dealt with on that night. But the tongues part. Not so sure. I knew that I wanted a Pentecostal experience in the worst way, and that I was not above helping things along. Any of my readers done something like this?

But God was not seconding my motion on that evening. And thankfully so, I can now say. I have always wanted to walk in truth. I have wanted never to be deceived, or as a teacher, to deceive others. No, it was good I lived in doubt. For the fact is, I taught myself to "speak in tongues."

And my experience is that of so many! I've seen special teachers come to a congregation, to invite those who do not have their "prayer language" to come forward. The teachers then proceed to instruct them in the tongues method. Move your tongue. Say whatever comes naturally. God won't do this for you. You open your mouth, He will fill it. And so on...

Some methods are worse than others, but the bottom line is: no one in the New Testament had to learn how to speak in tongues! No one!

I'm guessing here, but my estimate is that ninety percent of the "tongues" audible in our generation are a learned behavior. And once you've learned it, you are forced to pass on your knowledge to others who are curious. Hence the indescribable growth of the phenomenon.

I will speak more of tongues later.

Though I lived in doubt over the next years, I did not want to take a chance that I would "quench the Spirit". So, in my private prayer time I would allow just any syllable that wanted to come out, to do so. Sometimes it felt good. Especially if I was out of English things to say. Just change gears, and your prayer time is filled up.

My wife left after seven years with me. Let me bear the blame for that as a non-nourishing immature husband. But the desire for tongues and fellowship with all the Body of Christ had led me to an unequal yoking. True Protestants and true Catholics will have a strained marriage at best.

Anyway, I had asked God to fill me with His Spirit. And to give me a gift. Over the years it became obvious that I was to teach and write. My very first book exposed Rome. I remember the deep burnings of my heart as I examined the history of this religio-political system headquartered on the Tiber. The Spirit was teaching me things, in spite of the things I was going after.

I delved deep into prophecy in those days. Bible prophecy. Not the "prophecy" of our generation, most of which is not true, but comes out of human spirits. I discovered things about the future, from the Word, that gave me great satisfaction and joy. The Spirit was still working in me.

But my conclusions expressed in those books always put me on the outside of the Pentecostal/charismatic people with whom I was fellowshipping. It was lonely being "one of them" but being true to the Scriptures too. Seriously.

When I got into the "doctrines of grace," I certainly slammed the door to any meaningful fellowship with modern "Spirit-filled" folks. I truly believed in the election of God. Most Pentecostals do not. None in my circle were with me on this.

Narrow is the way.

Then life came full circle. A simple John Macarthur teaching made it so obvious to me. Tongues will cease, said Paul. But when? Early, says history. Before the apostolic age was even finished, they had all but quit, not to mention other miraculous giftings. Do the study yourself. Until 1900, all "tongue" speaking was by heretics and pagans.

One thousand eight hundred years with no tongues in the church! And now God resurrects a gift that was originally placed in the church as a negative sign to Jews? Probably not.

I decided that I would have to leave Pentecostal churches altogether, though this could cause unimaginable pain to friends and family, nearly all of whom are Pentecostal/ charismatic/NAR. I would maintain a love and respect for the many good and holy people I knew. But I could no longer promote tongues.

How ironic. When I entered the tongues movement, I left all behind. Now I was being called on to do it again, for the opposite reason.

And it wasn't just tongues. Carried to a greater degree there are further issues that developed over the years. Like the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation). Before I knew all the New Age trappings that many NAR folks are a part of, which I will discuss in more detail later, I listened with great interest to men like Bill Johnson and Randy Clark. I went to a Randy Clark meeting and had him pray over me. I went To Rick Joyner's operation in what used to be Jim Bakker's headquarters. I traveled to Toronto to sit under the Arnott's and his fellow pastors. Bill Johnson actually became my favorite online preacher. I loved listening to Furtick and Jakes and Todd White, all connected in one way or another to NAR.

If you don't know the names, that's alright. Few do. But these names are becoming legendary among a growing number of charismatics. I was really into this thing.

Much of my acceptance of these men and their teachings happened during a serious mental/nervous breakdown. In 2009 I had heart problems, a super stressful job, and I took a trip to Korea to write the stories of North Korean defectors.

Somewhere along the line, I lost it. I ran out of adrenalin. I was a very sick man.

I was desperate for answers, and for a healing. My wife took me all over Seoul looking for charismatic-like places that might be able to solve my problem. I cannot tell you how awful all of that was. Some were after my money, others displayed manifestations that are so beyond description I will not try. But none produced healing. None.

When I came home after seven grueling weeks, the problem persisted and was not healed for months, when l God graciously got me on the right medication.

Yes, God refused to grant a simple - for Him - healing through any of the Korean meetings or my favorite TV preachers. I was even prayed for during this time by Heidi Baker, for by now the concept of "women preachers" had become a possibility. Nothing "worked" until my medicine kicked in. I give God praise for healing me in this medical way, but no credit goes to the so-called apostles of our day

Thing is, even in the midst of it all, their teachings made sense. And they hit me at a time when I needed help. I grasped for them as a dying man will do. I was so wanting to be whole like them, and I thought I was in the pathway to that wholeness by hanging on to them.

But as I grew strong again, I began to examine the men who were making these inroads into the established church, upsetting ecclesial governments, dividing churches into the haves and have-nots.

Years later came quadruple bypass surgery, and another breakdown due, they tell me, to the medicines used to put me out during the operation. There followed more hopeless days and nights, calling on God, getting prayed for here and there. Again, nothing until medication kicked in again.

I am well again. The message is now clear. God is a great healer and will answer our prayers when given in faith. But He will do it His own way, in His own time. I am to trust no man - or woman - for anything.

Look for Bob Faulkner's creations on http://sermonaudio.com including a through-the-Bible course, works about the Christ, the antichrist, the rapture, the church, prophecy and the persecution in North Korea. Look also for series on Muhammad and Islam, written for Christian believers. All of these works are now in book form available at Amazon. Go to http://www.amazon.com/author/bfaulkner to look at all these books.

As for me, I'm a man found of God over 55 years ago, called to the ministry, now retired from school teaching, and serving the Lord as a nursing home minister, and podcaster.

5 Ways To Protect The Sanctity Of Future American Elections

5 Ways To Protect The Sanctity Of Future American Elections

By Richard Brody

We may, or probably, will not, ever, fully know, all the details, about the level of, reasons, or motivations, behind, the interference in the 2016 Presidential elections, by foreign interests! Nearly every intelligence agency, and a considerable amount of evidence, which seems to be constantly expanding, indicates their was clearly, interference, either by the Russian government, or certain parties. President Trump has been an apparent holdout to this conclusion, by focusing on his election, rather than the far greater, more relevant issue, of how to learn, as much as possible, to ensure, our future elections, are fair, and pure! Unfortunately, this has become another of those partisan issues, where politics has seemed to take precedence over substantive service to effective public policy, which best serves the United States of America, and the important aspects of our freedoms and rights. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine, consider, and discuss, 5 ways we might, possibly, best protect the sanctity and integrity of future elections.

1. Examine digital imprints: How did cyber - crimes affect our recent elections, and what can we learn, to better protect us, from this continuing to occur, in the past? Our nation should utilize the skills, knowledge and expertise of our finest minds, in the fields of computers, etc, to oversee the process, and look at potential ramifications, and how to best protect ourselves. While what happened in the past, is important to investigate, and, it seems, at least from an optics - perspective, the President and his supporters, are focusing too much effort and attention, to minimizing this investigation (we should ask why, and what they might be hiding), it is far more important to use this investigation, to learn the best future approach. Just as we protect ourselves from potential terrorism, in other forms, it's important, to, also, do so, when it comes to cyber - crimes!

2. Better confirm identities: We live in a world of ever - increasing, identity theft, in nearly all aspects of our lives! Social media sites must do a better job, of ensuring the quality of the factual basis of posts, as well as being certain, these postings, are not an attempt, by outside parties, to influence the results of our elections. This must include, but not be limited, to a better way, of confirming identities, etc.

3. Mandatory fact - checking: Making certain, information is accurate, is often, far more challenging, than it appears! Mandatory fact - checking should be implemented, regarding statements articulated by specific candidates, and their campaigns, as well as ads and social media postings!

4. Examine unusual trends: Processes and procedures, often, create certain trends, which, might, either indicate who the responsible parties, might be, and/ or their objective!

5. Improve/ encrypt/ protect data: With all the ways, data can be hacked, and/ or influenced, perhaps, there might be better ways, to improve, how we encrypt, and protect all data, etc. Certain companies, such as BlackBerry, have demonstrated expertise, in doing so, and, we should learn from them, and take advantage of their efforts, knowledge and wisdom!

These are only 5 basic ways, to protect the sanctity and integrity of future American elections. We must do so, if we hope to preserve our way of life!

How to Get Rid of Fatigue and Increase Vitality

How to Get Rid of Fatigue and Increase Vitality

By Anand Kumar

You can actually unlock the keys to vitality, wellness and happiness if you are able to naturally control fatigue which is more of an emotional state than a physical one. Exhaustion is a feeling and if you are not very careful with the way you handle it, it may be very difficult to overcome. However, since you are capable of reading this piece right now, the solution is far-fetched if only you can read on.

It is very important for you to take note of what you feed your mind. Just like the popular computer phrase, garbage in garbage out, your mind works exactly in that format. If you feed your mind with positive things, you will get positive results and if you feed it with negative things you will get negative results. Whenever any negative thought enters your mind, the first thing you need to do is to acknowledge it and then take steps to stop it or the emotions it creates. Then, you need to replace the bad thoughts with good ones that are actually in line with your true needs.

Secondly, you must know how to keep your emotions in control because if you don't work on them, they can make you feel tired and exhausted. Emotions come from deeper areas of consciousness that you may not be aware of and the truth of the matter is that they cannot be banished. They can lift you to amazing heights sometimes and can keep you in pain, unhappiness as well as misery some other times. Since it is not possible to banish them, it is very important for you to manage them properly.

Furthermore, you should be more connected to your inner self in order to get revitalized frequently. Your inner self is directly connected to your true source of energy and has access to information related to your overall development. When you are connected, you will have the opportunity of aligning with the energy required for a happy and fulfilled life. Daily meditation is one of the ways of maintaining a healthy connection with your inner self and if this is properly done, it will go a long way to boost your energy and fight fatigue.

Besides, your body should be properly used in order to avoid exhaustion. You should set reasonable goals for yourself and avoid playing to the gallery. You should not try to please others at your own expense and eating what is not good for your body just to please someone is very detrimental to your overall well-being. You should eat organic foods as much as possible and taking food supplements will ensure that your body gets all the nutrients required for a healthy living.

For quality food supplements, you should get Maharishi Ayurveda products at MaharishiAyurvedaIndia.com.

Natural Minerals - The Spark Plugs of Life

Natural Minerals - The Spark Plugs of Life

By Ronald Woodham

Natural Minerals are the "Spark Plugs of Life" states a 2 x winner of the Nobel Prize!!

Our body is a bit like a 'car engine' - the car of course requires oil in the engine to ensure it runs smoothly and petrol to drive it. Just like our body which requires "natural minerals" to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible over the years, and it is the food we eat which provides them for us.

Question - What would happen to your car's engine IF you did not keep it topped up with oil?

Need I say more?

FACT- Our body's immune system requires a minimum of 60 'natural minerals' per day to enable it to carry out its function which is to protect us from all sorts of ailments and illnesses.

FACT - Imagine what is happening to your body IF you do not feed it sufficient 'natural minerals for IT to do its job effectively.

FACT - These 'natural minerals' are transferred from the soil into the food that is grown there, but unfortunately they are 'no longer' available in the quantities we require due to over farming, chemicals and pesticides.

FACT - Over the past 50 years and more this natural 100% supply has diminished to an alarming extent - by as much as 75% in most Countries across the World. In fact there is one State in the USA where there has been a 100% depletion of them!

FACT - The above came from a World Wide survey carried out by the World Health Organisation some 50 and more years ago - and WE are only just being told about it.

Well there is 'one' way YOU can make sure both yourself and your family feeds your bodies with the necessary amount of 'natural minerals' on a daily basis - and that is with a daily "Natural Sizzling Minerals" drink - or some "Natural Mineral Powder" sprinkled over the veg or other food you and your family eat on a daily basis.

By the way, there is ONLY Company in the World providing this benefit - and they are NOT available in the shops either.

Finally - a little note - whilst I would personally agree that 'organic' fruit & veg are better for you than all the other stuff we tend to buy just remember that even 'organic' food is mostly grown in 'depleted' soil. Just a thought.

To avoid any confusion please let me make it quite clear that Natural Minerals are NOT a cure for anything - they are not a medicine but they ARE a necessity in our daily lives as you will have read above.

This is your opportunity to check out Natural Minerals. Read My Story and see the benefits I have received along with links to a number of independent testimonials covering a range of ailments and illnesses that have been helped with these Natural Minerals.
Being a 'natural' product, mined from well below the Earth's surface they are deemed to be quite safe but if you are in any doubt please check them out with your medical professional before taking them.
