KEYS TO GOOD HEALTH that you take them out of the
world but that you protect them
1 Thessalonians 4:4-7 (NIV)
…that each of you should learn to control his
own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5
not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do
not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one
should wrong his brother or take advantage of
him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins,
as we have already told you and warned you.
7For God did not call us to be impure, but to
live a holy life.
Maintaining a good and healthy body and using
it for His glory and honor is God’s will for us.
Tonight’s message is just another reminder to
all of us. (ex.COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION)
Ex. HYPERTENSION – there are a lot of factors
that can contribute hypertension. (Naay magpa

4 KEYS TO GOOD HEALTH
1. TRUST
2. OBEY
3. PRAY
4. CLEAN THINKING
1. TRUST IN THE LORD
Proverbs 3:5-6 (refer to slide)
How does “trust in the Lord” bring health
to our body? This is how it works: When
we trust in the Lord, we believe in His
good will (nothing but the best) for us.
When we trust in in His good will,
 He will protect us from the evil
one (John 17: 15 My prayer is not
oppose those who oppose you.)
from the evil one.)
 When we trust in the Lord, we
don’t have to trust in ourselves
or our own ability. In turn, God
fills us with a true security that
we are His own and we belong to
Him. He also fills our hearts with
an assurance that He loves us
and provides whatever we need
(food, clothing, shelter). That
keeps us going strong every day
without worries.
2. OBEY GOD’S COMMANDS
Deuteronomy 28:8 (refer to slide)
 When we obey God and His
commandments, He declares
that we are His own. Our
relationship with God comes with
lots of benefits, both spiritual and
physical, that includes good
health.
(Exodus 19:5
Now if you obey me fully and
keep my covenant, then out of
all nations you will be my
treasured possession. Although
the whole earth is mine.)
 He won’t withhold any blessings
from those who obey Him.
(Isiah 1:19 If you are willing and
obedient, you will eat the best
from the land).
 He will be your protection as
well. (Exodus 23:22 If you listen
carefully to what he says and
do all that I say, I will be an
enemy to your enemies and will
Although there are many
commands that we ought to
pay attention to, I picked three
1. REJOICE
When we rejoice in the Lord
and make it part of our
character, then we will enjoy
good health.
How? Proverbs 17:22 A
cheerful heart is good
medicine, but a crushed spirit
dries up the bones.
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE
BENEFITS OF LAUGHTER

Linda University in California
1. LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE
People who lower their blood pressure, even
those who start at normal levels, will reduce
their risk of stroke and heart attack. So grab the
Sunday paper, flip to the funny pages, and enjoy
your laughter medicine.
2. REDUCES STRESS HORMONE LEVELS
By reducing the level of stress hormones, you're
simultaneously cutting the anxiety and stress
that impacts your body. Additionally,
the reduction of stress hormones may result in
higher immune system performance. Just think:
Laughing along as a co-worker tells a funny joke
can relieve some of the day's stress and help
you reap the health benefits of laughter.
3. WORKS YOUR ABS
One of the benefits of laughter is that it can
help you tone your abs. When you are laughing,
the muscles in your stomach expand and
contract, similar to when you intentionally
exercise your abs. Meanwhile, the muscles you
are not using to laugh are getting an
opportunity to relax. Add laughter to your ab
routine and make getting a toned tummy more
enjoyable.
4. IMPROVES CARDIAC HEALTH
Laughter is a great cardio workout, especially
for those who are incapable of doing other
physical activity due to injury or illness. It gets
your heart pumping and burns a similar amount
of calories per hour as walking at a slow to
moderate pace. So, laugh your heart into
health.
5. BOOSTS T-CELLS
T-cells are specialized immune system cells just
waiting in your body for activation. When you
laugh, you activate T-cells that immediately
begin to help you fight off sickness. Next time
you feel a cold coming on, add chuckling to your
illness prevention plan.
6. TRIGGERS THE RELEASE OF ENDORPHINS
Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers. By
laughing, you can release endorphins, which can
help ease chronic pain and make you feel good
all over.
7. PRODUCES A GENERAL SENSE OF WELL-
BEING
Laughter can increase your overall sense of
well-being. Doctors have found that people who
have a positive outlook on life tend to fight
diseases better than people who tend to be
more negative. So smile, laugh, and live longer!

life. Your predominant thoughts influence your
behavior and attitude and control your actions

life.

mind to control your emotions and your actions.
