Worship: For Heaven’s Sake Pastor Flemons spoke in detail about World War II tactics and how they relate to us spiritually. During World War II, as in any war, communication lines were coded to prevent the enemy from advancing in any way. Hitler and the Emperor of Japan lost WWII, because the United States cracked both the German and Japanese intelligence codes, while the US code remained intact. (Read more below.)

Words of Encouragement
Amos 9:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
Psalm 67:1-2 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; And cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations.

For Heaven’s Sake…
The secrecy of the US code was strengthened by the use of Native Americans. Their native language was not widely known. In fact, it was almost unheard of. They used their near-secret native language to develop a superior war-code language, which made US communications impregnable.
Without question, at the heart of nearly every war is religion: religious beliefs. The age-old war between Christ and Satan is over worship. Throughout world history, it has led Satan to incite nations against God’s people. Satan directs his hatred particularly against those who are Sabbath keepers. “Satan hates the Sabbath,” says Pastor Flemons. True Sabbath keeping is the sign that identifies God’s true people. (Read Ezekiel 20:12, 20.) And at the heart of Sabbath keeping is worship.
Hitler, therefore, was crazed about cleansing the world of the Sabbath-keeping Jews. And the Vatican was intimately involved in the war against the US and US allies in opposition to religious and civil freedoms. Religious and civil freedom, the two principles upon which the United States was established, are always at odds with Roman Catholicism. Wherever Roman Catholicism is firmly in power, religious freedom is not tolerated.
Thankfully, says Pastor Flemons, the code of the enemy has been broken for God’s people. God has seen to it that half the battle has already been won. All of Satan’s tactics are designed to pull you away from keeping God’s law.
He is an accuser of the brethren. “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night” (Revelation 12:10).
He is a liar. He misrepresents everything. “Ye are of your father the devil, … He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44.)
He hates God’s law. “They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them” (Proverbs 28:4).
He doesn’t want God’s people to understand God’s law. He doesn’t want you to think it’s right, because he doesn’t want you to know the power of the gospel. “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? … Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes will be opened, and ye shall be as god, knowing good and evil.” (Read Genesis 3:1-5.)
God forgives you of everything you’ve done in the past. All you have to do is repent. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
Then God empowers you to live a righteous life for the future. He helps you live a holy life in harmony with God’s law, with Christ by your side in the presence of the holy angels. “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1:24).
Pastor Flemons says, “That’s the gospel!”
Therefore, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). “But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer” (1 Peter 4:7).
For Health’s Sake…
Exercise allows toxins to be sweated out through the skin. The skin cannot be overworked from sweating.
Exercise increases circulation and so strengthens the heart.
Exercise empowers all organs of elimination to work more efficiently.
Exercise helps strengthen bones and thereby helps bones to retain healthy levels of calcium.
Exercise helps the body to have a better balance of hormones. Excess estrogen is prevented, which helps the body prevent cancer.
Exercise is best when done daily. A 30-minute walk is recommended.
Exercise is best when it is increased in increments.
Exercise is great when it is gotten through physical work outdoors. This is apart from competitive sports, which is another topic altogether.
