Food, Pharma, and the Temple of Your Body

Most believers know:

“Your body is a temple of the RUACH.”

But look around:

  • Chronic disease is normal.
  • Energy is low.
  • Sleep is broken.
  • Minds are foggy.

At the same time:

  • Highly processed food is everywhere.
  • Sugar is in almost everything.
  • Quick-fix pills are pushed as the main answer.

We’ve been discipled to treat the temple like a trash can and then beg YAHUAH to override our choices.


How Babylon Feeds the Temple

Babylon’s food system loves:

  • Cheap, addictive ingredients
  • Long shelf life, low real nutrition
  • Flavor engineered in labs

It trains your body to crave:

  • Sugar spikes
  • Constant snacking
  • Emotional eating

Then when your body breaks down, Babylon’s pharma system steps in:

“Here’s a pill to manage the symptoms.
See you next refill.”

No root cause addressed. Just maintenance.


This Is Not About Condemnation

This is not:

  • “If you eat this, you’re in sin.”
  • “Real believers never take medicine.”

YAHUAH can use doctors. He can use interventions. He has mercy on our ignorance.

But as light increases, responsibility does too.


Stewardship, Not Obsession

We’re called to:

  • Honor YAHUAH in our bodies
  • Do what we can with what we know
  • Not worship health, but not neglect it either

The goal isn’t fitness idolatry. It’s faithful stewardship.


Practical Shifts for the Temple

  1. Reduce the Obvious Poisons
  • Excess sugar
  • Constant fast food
  • Endless soda and energy drinks
  1. Move Toward Real Food
  • Vegetables, fruits
  • Clean proteins
  • Simple ingredients you can pronounce
  1. Hydrate and Rest
Sleep and water sound basic, but many spiritual battles feel worse because the body is exhausted.
  1. Ask YAHUAH for Strategy
Some of you will be led to:
  • Fast certain foods
  • Learn basic cooking
  • Walk daily
  • Get help breaking addictions

Pharma: Tool or Master?

Medication can be:

  • A mercy in crisis
  • A bridge while healing happens

But it becomes a master when:

  • You never ask “Why is my body screaming?”
  • You never address lifestyle or diet
  • You treat pills as covenant instead of support

We ask:

“RUACH HAQODESH, what’s really going on in this temple?”

The Spiritual Side of Bodily Stewardship

When your body is constantly inflamed and overloaded:

  • It’s harder to focus in prayer.
  • It’s easier to snap in anger.
  • It’s easier to numb out instead of press in.

You don’t have to be perfect to be useful to YAHUAH. But you’re more available when the temple isn’t always in crisis.


Final Call: Partner With Healing

Pray for miracles. Also partner with wisdom.

  • Put better things in your body.
  • Move it.
  • Rest it.
  • Listen when it speaks.

Your body is not your god. It’s your assignment space.

Treat the temple like it belongs to YAHUAH— because it does.
