Both John and Peter walked this walk. It wasn't just talk. Oswald
Chambers expressed the attitude of a true disciple as one having
"Personal, Passionate Devotion to Jesus!" Read his "My Utmost
for His Highest," and you will find that this is the first
condition that opens us up to having our needs met, and a healthy
body. Jesus' 12 disciples had all this happen in their 3 years with
Him, and on up to their martyrdom. Serious? Of course! Many 21</span></span></span><sup><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">st</span></span></span></sup><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
Century believers feel that they just have to claim God's promises -
apart from His conditions of discipleship. How foolish and

to be alive in God at all times. Does it make us sinlessly perfect?
No - that will not happen till the Second Coming of Jesus and the

</span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="">daily</span></u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,
our minds are renewed. Only through daily reading, meditating on,

and bring us where Jesus can live His resurrected life through us by
the Holy Spirit according to Galatians 2:20. Let us not make the
mistake of underestimating the importance of a renewed mind to
receive the full benefits of 3 John 2! God wants to bring us as many
sons and daughters into </span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="">Glory</span></u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!
Conversion is merely the door that enables us to enter this rewarding

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">Our
mind at conversion is carnal! It still thinks like an unconverted

share so well here. For those of us who choose to heed the counsels
of God in this regard, we will do well; and the desire of John in 3
John 2 will more easily become a reality. Why should God answer
prayer on behalf of our health, when we undercut His wisdom by
failing to walk in the diet rules of discipleship? Obesity in our 3
Western nations, both with young and old, is noticed with deep

believers can choose to become possessing disciples, by walking in
the wisdom of God. When I was a boy of 10 on a farm in Langley,
outside of Vancouver BC, I came to know a Frenchman by the name of
Philemon. He was retired and ate only 2 meals a day. He didn't need

Israel constantly comes up with new insights in this are as well as
in Science. Recently they developed "Neuro PS" - a capsule that
renews the nerve and brain cells. These are elongated cells, and
connect with one another through dendrites. As we age, these
terminals become dry and brittle, and fail to pass messages along. We
call these times "Senior Moments." Neuro PS moistens these cells
and restores connections again up to 30-35%. "Bridges for Peace"
in Israel a few years back, wrote one of their weekly divisions on
this break-through. I have followed up on it, and believe it has
indeed had a restorative effect to my memory. It is not full
restoration, but it is most helpful. Up to 85% of users claim

above. God at that time seemed to say: "Walk softly with me, and I
will guide you in this area." And He did - effectively!</span></span></span></p>

E. Stanley Jones - famous for "Christian Ashrams", had quite a
strict habit of retiring each evening at 10 PM and rising at 6 AM. He
would tell his evening guests, "Don't feel it necessary to leave
just because I am retiring - but would the last one to leave kindly
see that all lights are turned off, and the door is locked!</span></span></span></p>

enjoyed good health up to his mid 80's, and continued to write,
travel and s;peak beyond that time. His 8 hours of sleep a night no
doubt had a good effect. I seek to follow his example.</span></span></span></p>

Some 10 years ago or so a friend of mine introduced me to Kombucha.

is not dependent upon any one practice, but upon a "package."
This one of nine regimens on my part has been a distinctive help.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><u><b><span style="font-style: normal;">CONCLUSION</span></b></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">:
After I mailed out my use of the Rebounder and "Scientific
Walking" several asked if I would mail out my other 7 practices for
my personal health regimen. Undoubted there are others that by
experience have developed better and more helpful methods than mine -
but for better or worse, the above is what I have come up with.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">I
spend an hour or so each morning in prayer over the Bible. I use an
Interlinear Hebrew and Greek Bible, which I personally find enjoyable
and challenging. I kneel at the Rebounder following its use, and
find the kneeling helps my knees as well as my spirit and mind. God
used George Muller to challenge me this way. For the last 10 years of
his life, Mr. Muller knelt and read the Bible aloud 5 times a year. I
have </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">not</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
reached this standard, but I do read the Bible completely through on
my knees each year, and Psalms and Proverbs twice. Most of it I read
aloud, some even in the Hebrew and Greek. I let the Word lead me in
prayer. I also have a daily prayer list of well over 100 people,
that I pray over, spending special time for those the Holy Spirit
indicates.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">I
believe God wants us to be "Living Epistles," plumb lines to show
forth worship in the balance of Spirit and Truth. This balance is
often missing in professing believers. We need </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">both</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">;
lest we fall into one ditch or the other. It is extremely difficult
to maintain daily, vital devotions for our Quiet Time with the Lord.
Alan Redpath confessed that it was the most difficult challenge in
his life. Satan will do anything to keep the believer from
maintaining this vital, active and balanced habit. Oswald Chambers
agreed with Alan Redpath, and I do too. Good physical health for the
body, and a renewed mind are indispensable also.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">Let
us be examples in the above, and we will find that God will preserve
us from becomeing casualties to sin like so many in our day.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">PS.
I can take very little credit for the above. In 1947 I broke my back
in a motor-cycle accident, and was in a caste for 6 months. Within 10
years I started to develop painful arthritis in my back and neck. God
led me how to develop the above exercises and diet as His response. I
seriously doubt if I would have the unusual health I enjoy today, had
God not put me in the position of "do" or "die". So I find
myself thanking Him for permitting me to have the accident of 61
years ago. It forces me to exercise my will to walk wisely: body,
soul and spirit. My daughter said to me one day - "Dad, if you
don't do those stretching exercises every day, you'll end up like a
board!" It got my attention. I have no choice. God in His wisdom
and mercy has put me in a position where I </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">must</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
seek Him for His wise guidance in all of the above matters. JW.</span></span></span></p>
