Where did the Abunda Life
Concept come from?

and to destroy:
I am come (Jesus) that they might have life, and
that they might have it more abundantly.”

“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

What is Salvation?
Salvation is a gift of God.
“Neither is there salvation in any other for there is
none other name under heaven given among
men whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

Why concern ourselves about
health and high level
wellness during this life now?
Nothing on earth can be fully enjoyed without
health and the Lord.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

Why Salvation?
Without our salvation all the fitness, nutrition and
health will be only temporary.

What is the abundant life – the
abundance that
Christ came to give us?
We believe it’s total abundance of
body, mind and spirit.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

This best describes the foundation of
Abunda Life’s Body, Mind and Spirit
Medicine
Our God is creator of heaven and earth and all things
visible and invisible.
He has given us spiritual, mental and physical laws
and principles to live by.
We hold duel citizenships, one in the earthly realm
and the other in the heavenly.
Through Christ we can have a truly abundant life,
physically, mentally and spiritually.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

Medical Doctor Cannot Be a True
Naturopath =
Naturopath Can Never Be a True Allopath
“A Man Cannot Truly Serve Two
Masters; He Will Love One and Hate
the Other” (Matthew 6:24)
In order to become true
Naturopath/Allopath:
Must change BELIEF SYSTEM

Here are the facts:
The price of your salvation has
already been paid.
What? Know Ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye
have of God and ye are not your own?
For ye are brought with a price, therefore glorify
God in your body and in your spirit, which are
God.” (1 Corinthians 6:19)
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, of
the just and the unjust, that He might bring
us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but
quicken by the spirit.” (1 Peter 3:16)
The price has been paid. Simply ask and
accept Jesus Christ, the Messiah of
prophecy, our risen King, to be Lord and
Master of your life and begin to follow His
Commandments more and more each day.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

He probably has already called you.
Listen to the Words of our King
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock: If any man
hear my voice, and opens the door, I will come into
him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.”
(Revelations 3:20)
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the
power to become the Son’s of God, even to them
that believed on His Name. (John 1:12)
It should be crystal clear to every believer – salvation
is a gift.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

But what about health, nutritional
soundness, fitness and high level
wellness?
Vibrant health is strictly our responsibility. Our God
gave us freedom of choice in this life.
There are principles, theories, concepts and laws of
physical health.
Abuse them and you pay the price.
Unfortunately, most Americans have abused not only
God’s Spiritual Laws but also the laws of health.

What is the result?
In 1950 the U.S. was
1 st in total health, 1 st in longevity, 1 st in infant survivability
and we were the strongest people on the face of the earth.
Today we are
99th in total health, 37th in longevity, 27th in infant mortality.
We haven’t won a gold medal or silver medal in weight lifting
since 1960.
We are 1st in: Diabetes , Arthritis, Stroke, Heart Disease
Cancer, Alzheimer’s
And we are the fattest people in the history of the world.
To add insult to injury: We have gone from the world’s number
one creditor nation to the world’s number one debtor nation.
We have the world’s number one prison population

Righteousness, exalteth a nation.

What is the cause of our
nation’s present dilemma?
Sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:34)
God’s Laws of blessings and cursings of
Deuteronomy 28 has never been abrogated.
They are in effect this very minute.
The sad story is the Church is sicker physically,
mentally and spiritually then the world.

Why is this so?
“But his delight is in the Law/Word of the Lord
and in His Law doth he meditate day and
night. And he shall be like a tree planted by
the river of water, that bringeth forth his fruit
in his season, his leaf also shall not wither
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
(Psalm 1)

What is our problem? Why such a sad
state of
personal and national health?
We have never been taught the spiritual connection to
physical health.
True our Lord could have simply touched us into
perfect health – but that was not His plan for us. See
(John 5:8) (Matthew Chapter 9)
In this physical life, to achieve anything God expects
us to pray, then get off our duff and make it happen.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

What is our problem?
Why such a sad state of
personal and national health?
“If a man know not how to rule his own house, how
shall he take care of the Church of God?”
(1 Timothy 3:5)
“He who is faithful in little will be faithful in much.
He who is unfaithful in little will be unfaithful in much.”
(Luke 16:10)
If you have not been faithful in unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to you true riches? (Luke 16:11)
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

One of the greatest incentives in achieving the
abundant
health that our Lord desires for you:
“I beseech thee therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that
you present your bodies as a living sacrifice. (Romans 12:1)
Under no condition would you offer a sacrifice to God that
wasn’t the best of the best that you could give.
Therefore it behooves us to learn more of this unique
organism that was designed to be free of all physical
impediments.
To accomplish the abundant life that Jesus Christ had in mind
for you – you must begin to understand what this world’s
medical profession does not.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10

Ten facts our modern day medical
profession
refuses to acknowledge:
Every named physical ailment has a spiritual component.
(Psalms 14:1)
Not the doctor or the pharmaceutical but God is our true and
ultimate healer. (Exodus 15:26)
The mind controls the body. The body is but slave to the mind.
(Proverbs 22:7)
Your mind can make you sick. Your mind can make you well.
(Proverbs 17:22)
Sickness is a mini form of death. It is related directly or indirectly
to sin and must be addressed. (Romans 6:23) (James 5:15)
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly” John 10:10
25of 26

Ten facts our modern day medical
profession refuses to acknowledge:
In the world, we have three deadly enemies to our health:
The junk food industry The orthodox drug medical/pharmaceutical
industry Stress/anxiety instigated by sin.
Every disease and named medical condition is an indication of
long term nutritional deficiencies either ignored or worse, drugged
into suppression.
We are what we eat – eat junk and the cells of our body become
junk.
Drugs do not heal. All drugs, without exception, have deleterious
side effects.
God designed the human body to heal itself.
