WISDOM IN 9-11

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

Words of King Solomon, the Preacher

EXAMINE YOURSELVES

Paul asks us to examine our selves (2 Corinthians 13:5). We must work out your own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

Here are 7 questions* that will help with that personal assessment:

(1) Am I a Christian?

(2) Is the Word of God my study?

(3) Is Christ dwelling in my heart by faith?

(4) Is the law of God the rule of my life?

(5) Do the searching truths I profess to believe, penetrate into the secret places of my life?

(6) Do I carry out its principles in my business or home life?

(7) Is the influence I exert, having a saving power on those with whom I associate?

*I don't recall where these were obtained from

THE WILL OF GOD

"...if any man be a worshiper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth." (John 9:31)

Romans 8:27 - That He (Jesus) that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit (Holy Ghost), because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

1 Corinthians 12:11 (see v. 7-10*) - That all these (the 9 spiritual gifts described*) worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing (distributing) to every man severally (individually) as He will.

Galatians 1:3-5 - That Jesus Christ game himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our father: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 5:17:21 - That wherefore ye be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves on to another in the fear of God.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-6 - For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor; not in lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any thing: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In every thing give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Peter 2:13-16 - That ye submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as servants of God.

1 Peter 3:17 - For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

1 Peter 4:2,19 - That ye no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God...Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing , as unto a faithful Creator.

COUNTRY LIVING (Part 2)

Country Living continues...

Good things about being in the country

Tasting treasures out of your own garden that you planted and that the earth yielded
Seeing deer for the “umpteenth” time and still being excited
Feeling the cool morning air while the dew is still on the ground
Smelling fresh cut grass (one of my favorite smells)
Hearing the happy laughter of our children playing with the garden hose

Bad things about being in the country

Tasting a recipe experiment that did not quite come out like the cookbook
Seeing the evidence that something’s eating your collards
Feeling the loving, sincere hugs from your family
Smelling banana skins left out to be put in the compost bin
Hearing muffled rifle shots in the far distance as another deer loses its life

SELF IN ACTION

SELF (That selfish spirit that threatens to take over in any situation or conflict)

When SELF shows up, you have...

-Problems in the workplace - bosses and employees are only concerned with their individual responsibilities and fail to see their job as part of the larger organization

-Problems in parenting - one parent says x, while the other parent says y, and the children are left confused as to which parent to obey

-Problems in marriage - each spouse feels strongly about his/her position and is relentless in proving that they are right

-Problems in ministry - each saint has a different method of evangelizing and they don't let the Holy Spirit lead

-Problems with neighbors - each neighbor fails to have concern for each other and only look out for their family or property

-Problems in relationship with God - God has a way He knows is right, but you have a way you think is better

THE CONDITIONS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

God's love is unconditional. He loves us with an everlasting love and everything He does is with the express purpose of showing us His love.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten love, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and [then] all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).

Ye shall search for me and find me when ye seek me with all your heart (Jeremiah 33:13).

If my people that are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).

If you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

If thou seekest her [wisdom] as silver and searchest her [wisdom] as for hid treasures, then shall thou understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God (Proverbs 2:4,5).

LIFE CHANGING QUOTES

"The christian life is not an improvement or modification of the old, but a transformation of the character" by Ellen G. White.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Paul the Apostle,
2 Corinthians 5:7

A NEW CREATION

SEVEN SMALL LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

1. Live on a schedule (sleep times, eating times, work times, recreation times, etc.)

2. Increase your intake of plant based foods (grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, fresh herbs) and decrease your intake of animal products (meat, milk, eggs and cheese)

3. Eat a hearty breakfast and lunch, skip snacks between meals and eat a light supper at least 3 hours before retiring for bed

4. Spend time outdoors getting sunshine, fresh air and exercise

5. Boost your immune system by increasing your intake of pure water between meals (add fresh lemon juice for a great cleanser) and decreasing refined and artificial sugars and foods containing them

6. Get your rest by going to bed early, rising early in the morning and leaving the Sabbath for mental, physical and spiritual rejuvenation

7. The most important to complete the list--Gain strength by beginning your day with prayer to the Living God and personal study of His will through His Word

REST A WHILE

Come ye yourselves apart into a deserted place and rest a while (Mark 6:31).

Jesus recognized that even His disciples needed quiet time to themselves. Even He made it a regular habit to go to some mountainside or secluded place to commune with His Father.

A couple weeks ago, we went to the mountains and stayed with a wonderful family. The area was so quiet and peaceful that the Lord was able to share some wonderful truths with me. I sooo wanted to share them with you, but instead of asking permission to use their computer and working on the blog right then, I presumed to do it when I came back to the city.

Of course, all the precious truths have since left my mind and may possibly be lost forever. Sorry!! I now recognize what the Lord was saying to each of us when he said, "Come ye yourselves apart into a deserted place and rest a while" and why.

Our spiritual growth is severely hampered in a place where there is constant noise, distractions, sin and debauchery. The hustle, bustle, business, wasting of time and foolishness is so overwhelming, and oftentimes alluring, that there is no time or desire to study the word of God. We're always tired, stressed, pressured, pulled and beaten down, that the things of God hold no power or beauty in our lives.

Oh, brethren, let us go to those retired places so that we can know what God's will is for our lives. When we feel that things are going out of control, jump off the hamster wheel and let God catch you. It may mean major lifestyle changes, major opposition from the world, but God will be there to help you.

It's getting harder to hear the still small voice of God in all the construction noise, the car horns, the train rattlings, the public cell phone conversations, the news alarms and terror alerts.

If He's saying, "this is the way, walk ye in it" (Isaiah 30:21), how will we know where to go if we can't hear Him?

DIARY OF A SKINNY FOOD ADDICT

The weight loss was easy. Eating a diet that is 98% based on the diet before sin makes it happen naturally, without any effort. The victory over appetite is not so easy. That requires a constant, daily force of the will.

There are eight natural laws of health that God gave to us. They all work in harmony with each other to promote better health and make our lives a little more enriched. These laws are nutrition, exercise, water, sunlight, temperance, air, rest and trust in the only Living, only Wise, Immortal God.

These principles will be expounded upon later. Some people go cold-turkey with changes and others have to incorporate changes gradually. The good news is that everyone of us can make changes in our lives. We need not be stuck in one place and resign ourselves to defeat.

We can do all things through Christ who gives us strenth (Philipians 4:13).

HOW WE TRAINED OUR CHILDREN IN BAD BEHAVIOR

BELOW ARE A LIST OF HABITS WE TRAINED OUR CHILDREN IN THAT ARE NOT CONDUCIVE TO A HAPPY HOME. LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES AND MAKE YOUR HOME DIFFERENT. BY GOD'S GRACE, WE CAN STRIVE FOR HEAVEN'S ORDER IN OUR HOMES.

Stuffing their mouths when eating -- When they were now learning to eat solid food and we were feeding them, we'd full up the spoon, so that the process could go faster because we had other things to do. Sitting patiently and savoring time with our children was not a priority when there were dishes to wash, sports to watch, food to cook, floors to clean and other children to tend to.

Swallowing their food and not chewing enough times -- When we were feeding them, we didn't wait for them to chew their food thoroughly before we had another heaped spoonful ready to put into their mouths. [Now that this is brought to my attention, I [Leuanna] realize that that is the way I eat and it takes effort on a daily basis to correct this wrong habit in myself while trying to re-train our children.

Not respecting when their father, my husband, speaks -- When my husband says something that I disagree with, I'm quick to correct it or voice a better suggestion in front of the children. Over time, they have learned not to take daddy's words seriously or to ask me for my input concerning what he says. I can't be upset with them, I trained them that way. This requires the constant prayer, "Set a watch, O Lord, over my mouth. Keep the door of my lips (Psalm 141:3).

Habits of irregularity -- When they were babies, we didn't have a regular schedule for sleep times, wake up times, family worship, mealtimes, recreation, work or anything else. Everything happened according to our moods, so they grew up with the habits of irregularity. Now that we're trying to maintain heaven's order, it's a struggle, not just for us, but for them, but thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Not following rules or obeying rules when it was convenient to "self" -- If I [Leuanna] didn't feel like walking the long way, I'd jaywalk; if I wasn't patient, I would not wait for the pedestrian walk signal; if I was late or in a hurry, I'd drive way over the speed limit and the list goes on...

Shouting at each other or conversing too loud -- Because we didn't enforce rules, weren't consistent or didn't make our word law, they grew trained in habits of disobedience or indifference, so that when we needed them to do something, we'd have to shout to be heard. Since there was no order in the home, chaos ensued and everyone naturally spoke in loud tones, not being aware of the volume of their voices, so that became the norm. I [Leuanna] also kept the radio up loud (that's the way I like my music), so we always had to speak loudly to be heard. Now that we want to maintain a peaceful atmosphere in the home, it's requires daily diligence to undo the bad habits.

Hitting when angry -- And of course, this one. When they did something that crossed "self", my first reaction was to lash out, so when they are upset, they lashed out. Sometimes at me (even my sweet, mild-mannered 2 year old had a bout of this disease) or they'd lash out at each other. That's what they say, so that's what they did.

Being restlesss or disruptive in the public places (doctor's office, church, concerts, seminars, etc.) -- We allowed the children from early childhood to do whatever they wanted during family worship, during reading time and during meals. We weren't consistent in encouraging them to sit still for short and eventually longer periods of time. When they ran off or interrupted us whenw we were speaking, we weren't consistent in correcting those habits. The obvious result is lack of self-control, the inability to sit still when necessary and the habit of being disruptive by talking when others are speaking.

I praise the Lord that He has been showing us the truth of our sinful "selves". He doesn't do it to bring us down, but to bring us up to His standard. As we humble ourselves before Him, He exalts us to a higher standard of living that we can be a blessing and a source of encouragement to others. We're encouraged to behold healthy families.

Too many families are dysfunctional and the human heart naturally becomes what it beholds [that sounds like a good topic for another blog about the TV shows we watch and how that changes our minds to accept adultery, fornication, wrath, lies, covetousness, foolish jesting and the like, as normal].

Let's find healthy families and healthy relationships to be our example and make the bad examples a source of fervent prayer.

May God bless your marriages, your children and may your homes (if one inhabitant or more), be a little taste of heaven.

ORPAH'S WARNING GOES UNHEEDED

A few years ago, Oprah exposed the dangers of beef and the mad-cow disease it was tainted with. As powerful as Oprah was at that time and still is, there were people more powerful than she, who forced her to stop her claims. Thanks be to God that the God of Heaven is more powerful than those people. It is with that assurance that boldness is given to share this information.

In addition to the population, the size of our citizens have increased exponentially. I'm sure that you have noticed that relatives, friends, neighbors, and maybe even you, have ballooned in the past couple of years. Your diet hasn't changed much, but your body seems to have taken on a mind of its own.

The information out there is overwhelming and the source list is so extensive that I won't even bother to share them. Besides, I'm sure that you already know what I am about to share. Everyone knows it. Knowledge is not the problem! The daily choices we make, that's the root of the issue!

In modern society, there was a time when only those who could afford meat, ate meat. Now, even African, Asian and other plant food rich cultures have adopted a meat based diet, and as a result are dying from the diseases that were only seen in other parts of the world.

The consumption of beef, pork, chicken and fish has become the staple in people's diets because of overwhelming and well-placed advertising that shapes social thinking. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables have been given low priority and the digestive system and our mental aquity has paid the price.

This could be a really lengthy discourse on the dangers of eating meat, heart disease, high cholesterol notwithstanding. Religious and secular authorities will echo the same sentiment, but most of society seems to have stopped up their ears and turned a blind eye to the problem.

It's a little bigger than meat my friends. It's about preparing for heaven. If that's not your goal, then this just won't make much sense to you (a prayer was offered on your behalf). If heaven is your goal, then you must realize that diet or appetite is a very overlooked component in our spiritual walk.

Eve fell on the point of appetite, not to mention that she broke a few commandments in the process (#1, #8 & #10). Jesus was first tempted by the Devil in the wilderness on the point of appetite. Esau gave up his birthright for a bowl of lentils. The children of Israel craved the depraved diet of Egypt that they begged for meat and when they received it, gorged until it came out of their noses. Lastly, Paul warned against those "whose God is their belly."

This matter of appetite is nothing to be taken lightly. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile (destroys) the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." (1 Corinthians 3:16,17)

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31)

WHAT IS TRUE EDUCATION?

Birth—Kindergarten Program

The work of the parents in the
homeschool begins at birth. Long before
formal schooling is started, you
are already educating your child.
“It is in the home that the
education of the child is to begin.
Here is his first school. Here, with
his parents as instructors, he is to
learn the lessons that are to guide
him throughout life—lessons of
respect, obedience, reverence, selfcontrol.

The educational influences
of the home are a decided power for
good or for evil. They are in many
respects silent and gradual, but if
exerted on the right side, they become
a far-reaching power for truth
and righteousness. If the child is not
instructed aright here, Satan will
educate him through agencies of his
choosing. How important, then, is
the school in the home!
“Upon all parents there rests
the obligation of giving physical,
mental, and spiritual instruction.

It should be the object of every parent
to secure to his child a well-balanced,
symmetrical character. This
is a work of no small magnitude
and importance—a work requiring
earnest thought and prayer no less
than patient, persevering effort.
A right foundation must be laid, a
framework, strong and firm, erected;
and then day by day the work of
building, polishing, perfecting, must
go forward.”*

The most important subjects
taught in these first years are Bible,
Character, Nature, and Practical
Work. It is best to leave the Reading,
Writing, and Arithmetic for a
later time when the child has developed
more mentally, physically, and
spiritually. When the child is more
mature, he will learn more quickly
and easily what would have been
difficult and frustrating at a younger
age. This method helps to encourage
a love of learning and the child
will catch up with or excel beyond
his or her peers.

We recommend the following:

Kindergarten/Pre-school – 0-7 years
First Grade – 8 years
Grades 2-8 – 9-14 or
15 years
Grades 9-12 – 15 or 16-19 years
Apprenticeship – 20-25 years

PARENTAL PEER PRESSURE

Do you experience peer pressure? Not peer pressure in the lives of your children, but in your own life? Have you ever been out with another parent and their child does something you don't allow your children to do, but you allow your children to follow along? Why is that? Peer Pressure! Or maybe you're the parent that allows your child freedoms that another parent doesn't and you see the other child look at his/her parent for direction and that parent gives in. What is that? Peer Pressure!


It may be matters of eating between meals, watching certain programs on TV, saying certain things, running in public buildings, not following sleep schedules, etc. The matters being discussed here may not seem "major", but they are important. They are important, because they are the rules you've establish in your home. They are important enough to send the message to our children to stand firm even in the little things.We know that teenagers are susceptible to negative peer pressure, but have we ever stopped to consider that we taught them to be that way. From very young, our children look to us to teach them what is right or wrong. When we don't follow our own rules, have you noticed how quick they are to point it out. They are constantly looking to us as an example.


In the same way, when they see us dishonoring the rules when we're at a friend's house, or out in public, they get the message that rules can be broken to suit our mood, circumstances, surroundings or company.


Let's be strong in the Lord for our children (Ephesians 6:10). Let's show them that we're parents who have integrity; Parents who believe what we teach. If our friends are truly our friends, they will still love us and may even respect us for our courage. In the very least, our children will respect us and we will be doing what is right (Romans 8:31). Then, when the major issues of smoking, witchcraft and oral sex present themselves in their pre-teen and teen years, our children would have the courage to stand firm--having learned from us.

CIRCULATED EMAIL CONCERNING CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS

The validity of the source of this email is still in question. The facts as they relate to various matters of health are not. As with all information, search out truth for yourself, you'll be sure to find it.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3.. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's Aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14.. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
