candisufferer, we live in a fallen world and of course it effects everything....and I mean everything around us. Just as there were laws handed down to God's people to help them have a fruitful existence and to know their God better, we also find that He had created laws that govern the whole universe.
Because we are not close to nature much anymore and have lost that connection to being able to see close up and personal the way God's natural laws work, we have lost the knowledge of how to live closer to God's plan of things.
As you know, every day our bodies are slowly breaking down, heading us to the point of separation of spirit and flesh. We no longer live as many did in early bible times to live hundreds of years. Something changed....sin in every form started breaking the laws governing the universe and then of course....our lives. So please, understand whenever I talk about sin and our sickness....it is meant in a universal way and not always due to outright sin on our part.
When our bodies lack oxygen it will slowly get weaker and weaker and then produce even less oxygen. Most people think of oxygen only in terms of breathing, but our bodies were designed to make good use of oxygen in other ways as well.
When oxygen levels fall, our body then allows parasites and fungus to thrive. They live off of the decay of our bodies. If we were looking close to nature, we would see how the fruit falls from the tree when ripe with age, and hits the ground. It's supply is cut off and the process of decomposition begins and the bacteria and such begin it's job of clean up and turning the fruit back into the dirt it came from. It is the same as with our own bodies. If we find that we are breaking down much sooner than expected, we can very well guess that it has to do with what we eat, what we do, (exercise) and/or how well we keep our minds in a healthy environment. (spiritual)
If our food supply had not been damaged almost beyond repair....lacking nutrients and filled with all sort of man-made terror, we probably would not have to even give much thought to what we must do to overcome this problem. We make tough choices everyday to either do nothing and go to be with our Maker much sooner or ask God to give us wisdom to seek the truth of why we are not finding success for our bodies in this world and fulfilling the mission God has for our everyday lives.
So please keep that in mind as you ask God for wisdom on how to better take care of the temple of His Holy Spirit. I will be praying for you as well, in hopes you find the healing path God has in mind for you. :)
