Episode Highlights
[02:23] How Be In Health Started
● Henry, Donna’s husband, used to be a pre-med student, then dropped out to become a DJ, then went on to pursue other interests.
● He also grew up in a family of pastors and missionaries. He eventually became a tool for God to heal others.
● When Henry couldn’t heal others suddenly, God taught him about the spiritual roots of disease.
● In the full episode, Donna shares an incredible anecdote of how Henry, through God, was able to heal a woman who was allergic to everything.
● Most diseases can be traced back to spiritual roots. Be in Health believes only around 20% are not.
[11:37] How God Heals
● Doctors will only treat certain conditions or even just look at the symptom.
● God, on the other hand, heals us wholly — mind, body, spirit, and soul.
● Remember, God desires our bodies and soul to get along.
● As a believer in Christ our bodies are a temple of the Holy Ghost so that we may glorify Him.
[15:13] People Have Become Sick
● There are so many people now who are sick.
● God gifted Henry to understand the correlation between sickness and a spiritual defect.
● For example, fear is a significant component of diseases. Fear affects the immune system and leads to anxiety and stress.
● God gave us power, love, and a sound mind. However, when we have fear, we put an obstacle to what God is giving us.
● Those who have autoimmune diseases also have spiritual problems. It is common that they don’t like themselves.
[17:18] Donna: “God has said, He did not give us that spirit of fear…what did he give us? Power, love and a sound mind.”
[20:12] How the Enemy Keeps Us Sick
● Our sickness isn’t just limited to us. Chances are, there’s a spiritual sickness that’s been in our long line of family history.
● Not only do these sicknesses affect your physical body, but they can also affect your personality.
● This is commonly due to the enemy’s work.
● Donna emphasizes that they are not anti-medicine. In fact, she supports doctors and the medical industry.
● However, there has been a shift in the pharmaceutical industry that believes itself to be the savior when it was only meant to be a bridge.
[23:24] The Importance of Prevention and Community
● Be In Health programs aren’t just about healing. It’s about prevention. People need to understand what feelings like fear and bitterness can do to the body.
● We all need to know the Word more so that we can discern what comes from God and what does not.
● It’s important to be immersed in a community of believers so we can develop discernment.
● It’s easy to get caught up in what’s not from God because we’re all trained by the imposter father in some way.
[25:27] Reagan, excerpt from Henry’s book: “You have to decide what you will embrace as truth. Because you need to learn the word well enough to know what is of God and what isn't. So wake up.”
[29:42] Many Do Not Have a Relationship with God
● Often, our earthly fathers give us a misrepresentation of our heavenly father.
● The trauma of not having the correct father impacts us in a way we can’t even understand. The enemy knows this.
● When you realize who your heavenly father is, He will show you that nothing is impossible.
[30:56] Donna: “When you have a revelation of our heavenly Father, nothing is impossible to you. Nothing. When I say nothing impossible, that means God can show you everything about everything. And the doors are open to you for understanding spiritual things at a level that you just never ever conceived of.”
[31:57] About Be In Health Conferences
● Donna shares that they have many repeaters to their programs and conferences.
● This is because there’s so much information that they can come back and learn in a different light.
● The reasons to join aren’t just for physical health. It can also be about relationships or spiritual needs.
● Not only that, ill feelings typically come in layers and heaps. One conference isn’t enough to work on all of it.
● Donna reminds us to take back control, repent, and give ourselves to God.
[36:02] The Spiritual Battle
● We are constantly fighting a spiritual battle. This is why we need the Word of God.
● Overcoming the enemy is not a lazy walk but a difficult one.
● The enemy has made so many narratives about the Bible that many of us don’t even really know what the Bible says anymore.
[40:09] The Truth About Disease
● The reality is that God never gives people diseases. Yet, we often blame him for them.
● God can get your attention in different ways.
● Donna shares that when Henry died, she went through so much suffering. She realized that God wanted her to learn more about his love.
● God wants us to always remember His love for us no matter what happens.
● In the full episode, Donna shares Henry’s inspiring story and dedication to God even when he had cardiac issues.
[46:49] Donna: “Just because you don't overcome all things, doesn't mean you should not speak truth.”
[48:03] How to Start Healing
● First, recognize exactly what you’re battling. Ask yourself, “what sin am I battling?”
● Then you renounce it. Push back against what God did not intend you to be.
● You should also take responsibility for what you’ve done and repent.
● This process is not easy, but you need to put in the work and give God the glory.
[52:54] Donna’s Powerful Stories
● In Alaska, Donna met a man who was hit with a pipe, suffered from a stroke, and had a crippled arm.
● He realized who he was because of the Father’s love and was healed.
● Donna also saw how cancers were healed despite being on stage four.
● Henry also reached out to people suffering from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity - Environmental Illnesses and shared the Gospel with them to help them have realizations about their disease.
● Donna shares that this is the impactful story that keeps her doing what she does. She hopes people don’t believe they are not less because of their disease.
