Healthy 4 Him
by: Sandie Parnell
The purpose of this ministry is to inform, educate and empower the body of Christ to obtain, restore and maintain optimal health. This can be achieved through application of the Word of God as holy medicine, combined with natural provisions, and information about how to care for our physical temples.
Healthy 4 Him is based on four components, with the aim to achieve health in each of our three parts—spirit, soul and body. The fourth component is action, because as the Word tells us, “faith without works is dead”. We must take action in order to get and be healthy, and then we’ll be ready for action, to do whatever we are called to do.
We are three-part beings. We are spirits who live in physical bodies, with a soul, which is our intellect, personality, and emotions. Our bodies are an awesome and intricate creation of God, and with proper care and respect, we can live much longer than the current average life expectancy of 78 or so years! We could be enjoying our older years, able to move, work and play without pain, able to enjoy children and grandchildren without fatigue and disability. We should be able to work or enjoy hobbies as long as we want, with minds sharp and memory intact.
It is possible to live not just a long life, but one that is worth living, rich and rewarding, without the pain and disease the world seems to think is inevitable.
God has provided everything we need to obtain and preserve health and healing. He blessed us with an abundance of nutritious and delicious foods, packed with vital nutrients designed to make and keep us healthy. He gave us His Word, which when applied with faith, is truly medicine and health to the body. Lastly, Jesus, by way of the cross, provided the right for us to be healthy and whole (Isaiah 53:4-5).
We should do our best to be healthy, not just for own personal benefit, but to be able to serve God in our call. The physical body is what carries us from place to place, using the feet to go, the hands to touch and feed, the voice to comfort and teach.
When we are healthy it is easier to care for others, it's easier to go where God sends us, and it certainly sets an example for others who need support and encouragement. Paul encouraged believers to discipline their bodies both physically and spiritually, so that they would be able to obtain an incorruptible crown.
In Healthy 4 Him sessions, we’ll learn many interesting things about how our bodies work. Up-to-date information on nutrition, exercise, and beauty regimens will be provided. The effects of stress on the body and the soul will be addressed, and we’ll explore the spirit/mind/body connection. We’ll look at what the Word has to say about our health, longevity and aging, about our food, our bodies, and exercise. We’ll confess what the Word says over our bodies and pray for each other’s health issues. We’ll have lecture time, and we’ll enjoy teaching videos and group discussions. We might even sample some new nutritious foods that you might not have tried before!
Healthy 4 Him will make you enthusiastic about getting and staying healthy in every part of your being. Consider this quote: “Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” (Source unknown)

I Corinthians 9:27... “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.”Our health is a precious gift, not to be taken for granted. It is our responsibility to keep our temple, our physical body, in the best shape possible to honor God. It is possible for us to live with abounding health, flourishing and thriving.
