Physical health is very important, but emotional health, mental health and spiritually health are also very important. Check out what Joyce has to say about it.
first of all a healthy you is the best
gift that you can give your family and
your friends a healthy you it’s actually
the best gift that you can give yourself
and when I talk about health I’m not
just talking about physical health
although that is very important and we
will talk about it at some point but I’m
talking about being emotionally healthy
being mentally healthy being spiritually
healthy how many of you have to deal in
close relationship with somebody that is
not there just not a whole healthy
person and it’s just it really can just
be very difficult isn’t it and so I
think that when we think about the
people that we love what we might be
able to give them one of the best things
that you can give the people that you’re
in relationship with would be like a
confident you instead of somebody that’s
insecure and constantly needs all kinds
of Pat’s on the back to just make it
through every day and emotionally stable
you where they don’t have to guess what
kind of mood you’re going to be in every
day when they see you they pretty well
know that you are what you are and that
no matter what happens in life you’ve
got the fruit of self-control and you’re
going to be cool with all that even to
be honest when when you’re not when
you’re not even if you don’t get a good
night’s sleep you can be harder to live
with than if you’d actually get the rest
that you need and so we want to talk
this weekend about being completely
whole not just not just having a little
bit of what Jesus can do for us but to
be whole people I think that he was the
first one to come up with the word
holistic we hear that a lot today and
that literally means to be whole spirit
soul and body sadly a lot of people
teaching it don’t have a clue what
they’re talking about because they’re
from something weird but like I said I
think that Jesus was the
first one to talk about being a whole
individual so Luke chapter 19 verse 10
is where we’re going to start Luke
chapter 19 verse 10 and if you can
travel to your Bible really quick you
can look these up if not we’ll put them
up on the screens for you for the Son of
man came to seek and to save that which
was lost now I want you to look at that
for just a minute because it doesn’t say
what we probably think it says it
doesn’t say that he came to seek and to
save those who were lost
although he did but he came to seek and
to save that which was lost so he
doesn’t just come to save us from our
sins and give us a pass into heaven
but anything that we’ve lost anything
that should have been ours that the
devil took away from us anything that
got messed up that you missed out on
that was stolen from you even your
childhood Jesus came to give that lost
thing back to you everything but if you
don’t believe that if you don’t know
that then you’re not going to tap into
it I think one of the saddest things is
that so many people go to church and
they’re I mean I suppose you’re going to
church on a regular basis you’re semi
sincere about wanting some kind of a
relationship with God but so many people
think that all there is to it is just
hopefully maybe having your sins
forgiven and hopefully squeaking in the
back door of heaven maybe in a lot of
people you ask more you say well I hope
so and you know they don’t even have any
really even have the confidence that
they’re saved and they think that that’s
all there is to it and I know how sad
that is because I was one of those
people for a long long time I went to
church all the time I love God Dave and
I were involved in the church but I had
no idea that all the things that have
been been taken from me in my life could
ever be restored so I was actually
a rich wealthy child of God and I’m
talking about financially I’m talking
about all the things that God has given
us but I lived poverty-stricken because
I didn’t know how to tap in by faith to
the things that God had provided me I
didn’t know for example that God could
and would give me back my childhood
he said well how’d you get your
childhood back well I started when I was
about 15 becoming a child amen
I never got my childhood I didn’t I
didn’t I had to worry as a child I had
to be afraid as a child I didn’t get to
have the things that other children have
and so I learned how to let my daddy
love me when I was in my 40s and I
learned how to be a child of God and how
to come to him like a little child and
how to enjoy myself like a little child
and how to not have to worry and how to
know that my daddy was going to take
care of everything
when I was in my 50s and 60s so I just
want you to know going into this tonight
that if you have not been believing for
the full deal meal and there’s something
in your life that you think that Jesus
can’t take care of then I want you to
know tonight that you’ve been lied to
and you’ve been robbed and he wants to
make you completely whole amen let’s
give God a praise for that
