At the age of 15, Peter Nielsen was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Peter now describes Crohn’s as feeling like you have stomach flu every day of your life. After a major surgery and many consultations with the doctors, there seemed to be little or no hope for a very sick teenager. No one, including the doctors, seemed to know how to help. At best, life looked very bleak! But God had other plans! Very early in the morning, almost 2 very dark years later, Peter angrily raised one fist to heaven while holding a razor in the other, and screamed a challenge at God to do something or he was going to take his own life. In the dark stillness of the moments that followed, Peter heard God say, ＂Give Me one more day, Peter, just one more day.＂ That challenge began a life-long journey to physical and spiritual health and wholeness. The journey led to winning over 50 body building awards, including Mr. Universe and Mr. America titles. Peter has also been known as the health, wholeness and fitness expert on nationally syndicated TV and radio shows airing on major networks. Over the years, viewers have watched and heard ＂Peter’s Principles＂, resulting in changed lives because of Peter’s challenge to capture the principles of better health and new hope. On March 7, 2001 the Crohn’s disease erupted to bring another challenge into Peter’s life. At 2:14 that morning his heart stopped beating for 43 seconds. During the miraculous recovery that followed God spoke clearly to his heart: ＂Peter, do you love and trust Me enough to boldly use your national platform to declare My Name on your shows?＂ Since then, he speaks about the power of Jesus Christ to bring new hope for living in health, wholeness and fitness-in the spirit, soul and body. Peter enjoys telling anyone who will listen that hope is the confident expectation that God will keep His promises. Peter defines Hope as ＂Having Optimum Positive Emotions about those things in your life that seem to be impossible.＂ It is trusting the living God for the hope you need to ＂give Him one more day＂ so He can change your life, just as Peter experienced more than 30 years ago. That hope, along with freedom and vitality, is consistently possible as we develop and maintain Soul Strength. Soul Strength is something your Creator has placed in the deepest core of your being that, honestly, not many ever tap into, but it contains the very life you were meant to live!
