Philippians 4:19 (KJV)

Bible Commentary

Today, we will discuss the Bible verse of Philippians 4:19 in the context of food and health.

The sicknesses of our bodies and our minds are not anyone’s fault. We must stop the blame game, pointing the finger to our heritage, ourselves or anyone else. We as individuals, families and nations have been under attack from the forces of evil since the fall of Adam and Eve. Yes, that was our own fault, but God sent a Savior–His Son Jesus Christ.

Because Jesus has broken down that middle wall between us and God through His flesh, we are now heirs as sons and daughters of the King. However, we must believe to receive that rich heritage that God the Father provided for us. As born-again Christians, are we believing only enough for the salvation of going to heaven after we die, or are we believing for the riches of heaven right now, here on earth?

In order to get to the riches of heaven now while we live on earth, Jesus must get to the truth of what we believe in our hearts. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). As we follow Him, He reveals truth to free us from the bondage of lies that make us sick.

Borders

The dominion and powers of Hell are broken down by the revelation of truth. When the lies are exposed, the powers of darkness are destroyed and removed. Remember, Jesus made the way through His flesh when he hung on the cross. Once those powers of darkness are removed and we repent from believing the lie, Jesus comes in and heals those places that were taken captive by the enemy. There is nothing like the comfort and healing grace of the Lord. Hallelujah!

Once the borders of the enemy around us as individuals, families and nations are broken down and removed, the Lord can come in and rescue His bride from every sickness, pain and evil. He has been waiting a very long time for us to claim what is rightfully ours in Christ.

Now then, in order for us to make room for Him to rescue us, with His help we must identify the places where blame, accusation and judgement between us as brothers and sisters stand in the way.

• Do we blame our parents for unknowingly feeding us food contaminated with pesticides and chemicals that caused cancer later in life?
• Do we hold ourselves responsible for our own eating habits that caused a chronic condition?
• Are we desperately trying to filter out foods that may be harmful to our family’s physical and mental health by anxiously controlling their diet?

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

We can praise the Lord that we are discovering the truth about harmful ingredients in our food, but we need to recognize the whole truth. It is not our fault we have been consuming things detrimental to our health. The enemy is attacking us on a big scale through corruption and greed in government and the pharmaceutical, medical, tech and insurance industries.

The devil hides behind all the corruption in our land and uses it to accuse and divide us, when he is the one responsible. We must stop blaming ourselves, our family members and one another and put the blame back on the enemy of darkness, where it belongs.

We must surrender our anxious toil of doing it ourselves and start trusting Jesus with our physical and mental diets. He is our healer, our savior and friend. He can and will sanctify us. He alone is our supplier of wealth in our health. He can redeem everything we did (or didn’t do) from our past. Let’s lay it all down and invite Him in to do just that in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
