“The Body Remembers:”

‘Returning to the Creator’s Design for Healing’

by Cheryl Vashti Gordon

Introduction

In a world that often looks for healing in everything external, this reflection calls us back to the divine wisdom written within our own design. The body was created with the knowledge to heal — but it depends on the resources that God, in His infinite love, already provided.

Author's Note

This article is not intended to replace medical advice or discourage anyone from seeking professional care. I believe doctors and natural healing both serve a divine purpose. My intention is simply to remind us that God designed our bodies with incredible intelligence — and that when we return to His natural provisions of light, rest, peace, and nourishing foods, we support the healing process He created within us.

Somewhere along the way, we began to treat healing as something that must be found, purchased, or performed — as if the body itself lost its divine knowing. But creation tells a different story. God did not design the body to forget its purpose. He designed it to live in partnership with the Spirit that formed it. Every heartbeat, every cell, every breath is part of an eternal conversation between Creator and creation — one that still whispers, “I know how to heal, if you will let Me.” “It’s not that the body forgets how to heal — it’s that we’ve stopped giving it the resources it needs to obey its Creator.”

There’s something extraordinary about how the human body was designed. Every cell, every breath, every heartbeat carries within it the signature of its Creator — a built-in intelligence that knows how to repair, restore, and renew. Healing is not foreign to us; it is our body’s natural response to divine order.

But over time, we’ve disconnected from the very source that sustains that order. We’ve traded the living for the processed, the pure for the polluted, and the divine for the convenient. We’ve fed our bodies substances that were never designed to communicate life — and then wondered why we are weary, inflamed, and out of balance.

The Language of Creation

Those “resources” our bodies long for — sunlight, clean water, fruits, herbs, rest, peace, and gratitude — are not random blessings. They are the vocabulary of creation. Each one carries instructions that tell the body what to do, how to respond, and when to heal.

When we nourish the body with what was created for it, we are not merely feeding ourselves — we are participating in a divine dialogue. The body recognizes God’s language through the earth’s provision. It responds in obedience to what it was designed to understand. Healing is its natural response to divine alignment.

In that alignment, body and spirit speak the same language — the language of life.

The sun awakens the body’s rhythms and strengthens immunity. Water hydrates cells and flushes away impurities. Fruits and plants deliver enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants that speak healing to the blood. Rest restores order to the nervous system. Peace regulates the heart. Gratitude strengthens the immune system and realigns the mind with the Creator’s design.

But when we substitute synthetic, processed, or artificial substances, the body grows confused. It cannot obey what it was never designed to recognize. Just as a plant cannot thrive without sunlight, the body cannot flourish without the Creator’s appointed resources. The design for healing still exists — but it waits for the right instructions, the ones found only in what God made./p>

Every natural resource was spoken into existence with purpose — not only to sustain life, but to restore it. Each one teaches the body how to obey the law of life written into its design. When we honor that order, we don’t just nourish the body; we awaken the harmony of divine obedience.

When the Body Forgets Nothing

Even when neglected, the body doesn’t truly forget. It waits. It remembers the original instruction coded into its DNA. It continues to fight for balance, sending signals — through fatigue, inflammation, and pain — that something is out of alignment. These aren’t punishments; they’re reminders. The body is crying out for the resources it was created to receive.

When we return to the Creator’s provision, the body responds immediately. Cells awaken. Blood flow increases. Energy returns. Healing begins — not as a miracle outside of us, but as the natural obedience of creation responding to its Source.

Spirit and Body in Agreement

Healing doesn’t begin in the flesh; it begins in agreement. When the spirit, the mind, and the body all align with divine truth, the flow of life moves unhindered. The same Spirit that hovered over the waters in Genesis hovers over the waters within us — the blood, the lymph, the living flow that sustains us.

God designed the body not to compete with the spirit, but to cooperate with it. When we feed our bodies from the earth, renew our minds with truth, and rest our souls in Him, we restore the covenant between creation and Creator.

The Restoration

Our bodies were never meant to live in chaos. They were meant to echo the peace of heaven. The moment we begin to honor that design — through what we eat, think, breathe, and believe — we begin to heal. The process is not magic; it’s memory.

Reflection

Healing is not a mystery to be solved — it’s a relationship to be remembered. God did not abandon us to sickness; He wove wholeness into the very fibers of our being. When we return to the simplicity of His provision and the rhythm of His order, healing becomes what it was always meant to be: a reflection of His life flowing through ours.

Healing is not something we chase; it’s something we return to. The body is not broken — it’s waiting. It’s waiting for us to give it what God already provided, so it can once again obey the command written into every cell: Be made whole.

This Is How I See It!

The body is not our enemy. It is our evidence — living proof that creation still remembers its Creator, still longs to obey His voice, and still knows how to be made whole.
