Mark. The title of my message is simply two words, sound health. Simple. Twenty minutes. Minute to decide.
Sound health. There is such a thing as sound health. Let's start in Luke 15. I changed my mind. Luke 15.
Luke 15. We go to verse 25. And it goes like this. Now his elder son was in the field and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of his servant.
Oh. And asked the servant, what is this music? What was this sound? The servant said. Thy brother is come.
The prodigal brother. The one that left the house. Gathering. The one that embarrassed the father. The one who was the younger one.
The one who slept with prostitutes. The one who wasted all his money. The one who ate pigs food. The one who was living a sinful life. The prodigal brother.
He has come back. And your father has killed the fatted calf. For your brother. To celebrate your brother's return. Because.
He had received him. Safe and sound. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Wow. Wow. Third John verse number two. I will go deeper in a minute. The Bible says Bible beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health.
The word health there. Is. Sound. Can I go deeper? One day a woman comes to Jesus for her daughter's healing.
Jesus completely ignores her. And then he says that the bread of healing belongs to the children. In other words, healing or health is the inheritance of the children of God. From today, what you need to get out of this revelation for this Sunday is this. In the next few Sundays, we will learn a lot about this.
These are the angles to living a healthy life. How many of you want to live a healthy life? I'm not talking about healing. I'm talking about health. Where you can enjoy life.
Where you're not injecting insulin. You're not having issues with your kidneys. You don't need any outside aid. Every part of your body is sound. How many of you want a life like that?
I have good news for you. And I have bad news. For you. The good news is Jesus paid a price so you can be healthy. The bad news is you have to cooperate.
It's not gonna happen without you. Health is an inheritance. It's it's what belongs to us. It's your inheritance. Because you are a child of God.
If you are not a child of God you become a child of God by faith in Jesus Christ. So if you have not put your faith in the finished works of Jesus. I'm giving you an opportunity before this service is over. Do not. Give your heart to Christ.
Okay. And legally become a child of God. When you become a child of God. Health is an inheritance. How many parents here want to see their children sick?
There's nobody here. Why? Because you love your kids so much. I know parents here who have access to my phone number. I'm changing it tomorrow so.
Who have had access thus far. Might even message me saying my child is having a cold or a cough. They're so upset about it. You know, parents are upset when a child That's because you want them to live in divine health. Sometimes when your child is sick, you think the worst.
That's how you are wired. Because when they are part of the family, No matter how much money you have. You know nothing beats health. Nothing beats health. They said the world says health is wealth.
But I say health is your inheritance. Health is your inheritance. Family. How old are? It's part of the prosperity.
I wish above all things that you prosper and be in hell. That means your prosperity is not complete until you are healthy. Nothing missing. Eyes are working well. Your soul is working well.
Your mind is working well. Your bones are working well. It's your inheritance. Someone shout I receive. It's my inheritance.
That means the moment you sweat that means it's no longer your inherited. So the inheritance has to be received by what is called grace. I hope the church will get it today. Now this is the reason why hear this. Hear this.
The prodigal son lost everything. Except his health. Wow. And that's why I need you in my life because no one shouts like you. That The the guy lost everything, Pastor Wendy.
Everything. His money. His his his so called self righteousness. His holiness. For crying out loud, he was living with pigs.
I mean, he fell to the lowest part of his life. He lost everything. But he comes back home healthy. Come on now. That's right.
Yes. Yes, sir. It's a real question to me. Yeah. Either he should come Come on now.
With his leg. I mean, you are a sinner. You deserve to have a broken leg. You are a sinner. You should at least come with one eye blind.
Father, I sinned against you. Spine problem. No diabetes How did the prodigal son have his health intact? Because. He's his inheritor.
Board. Wow. Sometimes God draws grace on a dark canvas. To show you that even though your life is dark. Still health can be yours by grace.
Because you are his child. Permit me to talk about my earthly father. For all the mistakes he made. We were expecting him to meet Jesus at 48. Because he had a heart attack.
He had about four to five heart attack. Not one operation on his body. Until the day he went to be with the Lord. Not a single operation. How?
No. No. No. How? Because he's the one who was the reason for much of the lost family went through.
Then it serves him right if he should have suffered. But that's not grace. God writes grace with a white piece of chalk on a blackboard. So he shows you. Where sin abounds.
Where sin Grace much more abound. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Food alone and enter this health. No.
Mhmm. First, you have to understand that you're a child of God. You have to get your doctrine right. And that is, I believe health is my inheritance. I refuse to die.
Health is my inheritance. And I get it by grace. If you take that first step, You are in for a great long, long life. Just to show you how grace works. Look at pastor Melon.
Pastor Melon Do you know she does not exercise? I have a problem with that. Because if I'm to maintain this great physique of mine. I have to exercise. Trust me.
I have to exercise. I have to lift a little bit of weight. I'll do my skipping. Skipping. While I'm perspiring on the treadmill.
I look at my wife. She's making herself a ginger tea. I said, Lord. And then I realized. She has learned to tap into grace.
Yeah. She doesn't overeat. She doesn't overeat. She doesn't exercise. Much like my mother.
See, women, you don't need to exercise because you anyway jump to conclusions. I'm just joking. Just joking. Because if you keep jumping like that, you anyway burn calories. Jokes aside.
Her body is not my body. So you must learn to work with grace based on your body physique. Body type. Everybody's body is the temple of the holy of No. This.
No. This. No. This. No.
This. She loves crabs. Now, if I even smell a crab, I might walk this way. But she can have any amount of crap. Because she's recognized the grace she has.
If you don't understand the grace you have, you will risk your body and it'll get into trouble. You will drink something saying God is with me and you will die. You will eat something, say, no the Holy Spirit is in me and the Holy Spirit is crying. Don't eat this. Do you know Jesus had a specific diet?
You don't find him eating meat? You find him eating fish? You find Jesus eating butter and butter including cheese and honey. Where is it in the Bible? Isaiah chapter seven.
Go home and read it. So so you understand that when you become a separated vessel unto God, your diet also changes. You hide everything. Think of the juice for a moment. I'm just talking about how to discern grace on your body.
Because listen. In the new testament, You can eat anything. Do you understand that? You're not Jewish. If you are?
There's a way to check. Don't let us check. You better be glad you're not Jewish. If you are Jewish you can't eat prawns. You can't eat pork.
There's a certain rice you can't even eat on a certain day. It's called kosher. Kosher There is a way you have to eat certain meats. Yeah. You can't eat certain meat.
Do you think God put it there in the old testament because he had no no other thing to do? No. There's a reason why when the first man was formed in the garden, he was first commanded to eat herbs. After the fall. You find meat being introduced.
There are times when Jesus raised people from the dead and said feed them something. Give them something to eat. Listen. This life is not about refraining from every good thing where you don't eat anything. No.
You're supposed to enjoy. But don't enjoy the thing that doesn't benefit you. If you know you have weak kidneys there are certain foods you avoid. Don't try to take grace for granted. Health is your inheritance.
Health is your inheritance. Let me prove it to you. Your next You know what cirrhosis is? Liver. Liver issues.
How come you are healthy? It's your inheritance. But we don't play with it. Can I go a little deeper? Romans chapter five verse number 20.
Five more minutes. Glory to God. Sound health is yours. It's your inheritance. It's your inheritance.
But it comes by grace. Thank you, lord. Can we move this? Are you tired, Suboda? I can see you sleeping.
You can move it. Not only him. There are a few others here. They're all tired. They're here from six in the morning, so you can't blame them.
And he's not sleepy. He he just did this. Isn't it amazing that just when you do that, I can see? Register mark. The day you come to school, register is not marked.
The day you don't come and then register is marked. Say these words with me. Sound health. Some Is my inheritance. But that same inheritance.
Is not by hard work. First, it is by understanding grace. Must understand that. Even if you're in the gym for five days. If you don't understand grace, you will surely suffer with a heart attack.
Do you understand what I'm saying? The The one who doesn't understand this. What exercise? No matter how much you exercise, That person will die early. Exercise.
Those who don't exercise. They will live long. They eat it. And they are to hung again. Come under the bed.
But when you look at their bodies, they're in good shape. Chocolate. Those who don't eat chocolate, they they die early. This is why I said to you health is an inheritance by grace. How many of you?
Eight. Pastor Neville here. Pastor Neville here. How many of you agree that he's youthful? We'll all agree.

Stents attack One behind the neck. Two in the kidneys. One in the kidney. Five in the heart. And one in subclavian.
And one in the? Subclavian. Whatever that is. Total eight. Attack.
When he stands there Does he walk onto the stage like? What's working? You ask him. Does he exercise? He lost the wife.
Does your husband exercise? Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. This is the reason why women wrote the amplified bible.
Where there is a no, they come. Not at all. Not at all. No exercise. But look how youthful he is.
It's called health by Wrong. Health by inheritance through? Grace. Just because you ate good food, you will live till 90. Organic.
Organic. Organic. Organic. Because now you're not trusting in God's grace anymore. Then, Now you're trusting in good food.
You see? The prodigal son ate the worst food. An inheritance by grace. Moreover, the law entered we have, that the offense might abound. Where sin abounded, grace did much more.
Verse. So you mean to say, shall we continue in sin? The question he's asking. He gives the answer. God forbid.
God forbid. If you know you have diabetes get healed. And in that healing process you'd be foolish to eat sugar. Because you can't say, I've seen grace abounds. No.
You will die. And I won't come for your funeral. Because you were stupid. And you went to Jesus too early. You came for the services late.
You went to Jesus early. Hey. Balcony. Nothing goes by the balcony. Sound health is your inheritance.
But Jesus has paid for it. Obtain it by grace. Close your eyes. I want you to stop thinking about anything else. Just think of the two words, sound health.
I want you to take deep breaths. Just breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Put everything aside.
Breathe. Just let me teach you some breathing exercise. How about, FYI, yoga is demonic. This is not yoga. This is me teaching you to breathe.
Can you please close your eyes? You won't be able to benefit this exercise if you don't follow my instructions. You're not gonna steal anything. Breathe. Do you know as you're breathing now, if you're if you're sensitive, You'll be able to hear your heartbeat.
Breathe until you hear your own heartbeat. Can you hear? You can hear it? Keep your eyes closed. Uh-huh.
So if you can hear your heart beating you will be able to hear every other organ in your body talk to you. Trust me on this. Which one? I know it because I walk this life. Right now.
Your kidneys will speak to you. Breathe. Keep breathing. Keep breathing. And if you're sensitive, you'll hear the kidney say drink more water.
Don't eat this. I don't like this. Your liver is talking. Every organ in your body, God created with intelligence. That's why it works without your cooperation.
Right now. Your brain is working and you're not making it work. Your heart is beating, yet you're not the one beating the heart. Your liver is working, yet you're not the one working the liver. Your pancreas is producing insulin, yet you're not the one producing it.
Your pancreas is doing it. Eyes closed. Breathe. That means God has created your human body. With great intelligence.
It's time to respect the body. But it is the home of the holy spirit. Now quietly lift your right hand. With your eyes closed. Keep breathing, please.
Begin to make these declarations. May Prakash I believe with all my heart sound health is my inheritor. Through grace. I obtain it. I confess it.
I believe it. And I walk in it. Thanks be to God. For this revelation. In Jesus name.
Amen. Amen. Thank you lord. Praise the lord. Hallelujah.
Praise the lord. Stand to your feet. I said twenty minutes. Right? So next Sunday, we look at a different angle of health.
I can see your excitement. Thank you. We want the glorious church to be one of the healthiest churches.
