How To Have Prosperous Health by Pastor Brent Lokker

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.  (3 John 2)

The LORD will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy, too. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.
(Isaiah 58:11, NLT)

For Your Spirit

  • Value God’s Presence     Psalm 27:4; 42:2

  • Worship Him Often     Eph 5:19

  • Cultivate Deep Thankfulness    Eph 5:20

  • Find God’s heart in the Word    Ps 119:41-42

For Your Soul

  • Forgive Quickly    Eph 4:32

  • Be with Life-Giving Friends    Prov 27:9

  • Renew Your Thinking     Rom 12:2; 2 Cor 10:5

For Your Body

  • Rest when you need it  Ps 23; Mk 6:31; Matt 11:28-29

  • Eat Healthy (80/20 rule)   1 Cor 6:19-20

Remember that the only motive that truly lasts with any of these is LOVE.  Will you love yourself enough to genuinely care for yourself and be kind to yourself?  If you need help with that, the Author of Love is standing by (actually within) to help you!

With Much Love,   Pastor Brent

Take Heart and Rejoice - guest contributor Lana Vawser

Not long ago, one morning, I had a vision where I saw many of God's people with heavy hearts and they were turning around behind them and looking at this current season. They were looking at all that had happened in this season, and things they are still going through. Those constant cycles, hits, trials, pressure and longing for breakthrough.
 
I saw many of God's people looking at the "clock" and they were sighing loudly over such deep grief of feeling like "so much time was lost and taken" in this season through such vicious opposition and trial. I saw the word "regret" coming towards God's people, that through "entertaining and focusing on the disappointments, disillusionment, pain and grief of this season" that regret would take hold and bind them up in chains.
 
I could hear the heart cries of God's people, "What did I do wrong Lord? Where did I miss it? Where did I go wrong? What didn't I do to still be in this place of such deep hardship, pain and pressure? Please show me Lord, what have I missed that has prolonged my breakthrough?
 
But then, Jesus came! He showed up in all His Glory, all His majesty, emanating such love and freedom. He stood before His people with such compassion in His eyes.
 
The truth of His heart was so loud, louder than the sighs of the past that God's people were looking at. His eyes, full of such love, communicated so loudly, "I'm here! I am working all things for your good! I am righting wrong turns! I am unblocking delays! I am making your paths straight as you seek Me and delve into My Word. As you live laid down with your 'yes' to Me, I am bringing swift divine alignment. I am all for your breakthrough! I am breakthrough! Trust ME!"
 
He then knelt down before them and spoke "Lift up your eyes! Look at Me! Renew your mind! Look at Me!"
 
I could then hear 2 Corinthians 10:5 being decreed all around:
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
 
As God's people heard the truth of this Scripture, I saw many saying, "I'm tired of fighting, Lord! I don't think I have the strength to keep fighting." Jesus bent forward and He blew upon them. Instantly strength and grace was imparted to them.
 
I watched God's people begin to stand with their eyes wide open and full of revelation. They were staring right at Him, and I could see wonder and revelation being released to them. Without words, simply being in His presence, seeing His Glory, they were being transformed. They were seeing Him in His goodness, His beauty, His kindness, His love and power.
 
As the revelation knowledge of who He is began to fill them more and more and crash over them like a refreshing waterfall, they began to tear down the arguments that had raised themselves against the knowledge of who He is. Such deep healing, freedom and increase was taking place. I could hear in the spirit, "You are being marked by joy!"
 
I then saw Jesus walk over to a clock, the very clock that many of God's people had been looking at with such deep grief, anxiety and sadness over "time that was lost." I saw Him blow on the clock and suddenly the hands on the clock came alive! He touched the hands of the clock and He began to move them back. I watched as "time was going backwards." The sense surrounded me how the Lord is completely outside time! I knew so deep in my spirit, He was turning "dark nights" into day!
 
As He moved the hands, He turned and looked at His people, with a sparkle in His eye, with such joy and excitement, He spoke, "I am redeeming time! Where you feel like time was lost, where the enemy has caused you to face so much torment in a season, where you feel like you did not 'get out of a season' what I had for you, I am now redeeming time! Especially the hardship many of you have faced in the last 3 months, in the next 3 months, will be added back to you in blessing, increase, breakthrough, restoration and healing.
 
"In the next 3 months, you will begin to see in greater ways the restoration of My hand for all that you have walked through—all that was stolen. The next 3 months I am setting the stage for some of the greatest breakthrough.
 
"Over the next 3 months, you will begin to take off. You will be set up for all that I am releasing. Nothing has been lost as I am the Restorer of all things. I am releasing resurrection life and vindication, increase, healing and breakthrough to you.
 
"More opportunities will come to you in this next 3 months than all the closed doors of this season! You will see more added to you in this next 3 months and beyond than you lost over the last 3 months and this season. Rejoice! I am redeeming time!"
