Worship: For Heaven’s Sake Too many people are at the point of giving up. Too many bad decisions have left them wondering what to do. They’ve been told that Christ is the answer to all of their problems. But how to come to Christ is a mystery to them. Pastor Flemons offers the answer they need. (Read more below.)
Wellness: For Health’s Sake Pastor Flemons, a doctor of biblical wellness, says that constipation is the mother of all diseases. It harbors toxins with immediate access to seventy percent of the immune system. Reversing constipation as quickly as possible is, therefore, critical to maintain or regain health. Cleansing the colon is one way to reverse constipation. (Read more below.)

Words of Encouragement
Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Psalm 41:1-2 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

For Heaven’s Sake…
The process of coming to Christ does not begin with any human being. Because the incomprehensible love of Christ is everlasting, the process actually begins with the love of Christ. He draws us to Him.
Jeremiah 31:3 Therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Our love of Christ is simply a response to His love for us.
1 John 4:19 We love him because he first loved us.
Pastor Flemons says that when we are aware of what Christ has done for us, something happens within us. We are drawn to Him as a result of His sacrifice for us. If we simply do not resist the drawing, we will be saved.
For Health’s Sake…
Water is the best and easiest thing you can do when you are constipated. In fact, drinking 16 ounces of warm water in the morning encourages daily bowel movement. Water is critical to regular bowel movement and to general health. “A lot of people are constipated,” says Pastor Flemons, “simply because they are dehydrated.”
Exercise is also a great way to help reverse constipation. Exercise massages the colon and promotes peristalsis. Herbs that promote peristalsis include cascara sagrada, mandrake and senna.
What is needed in the diet to reverse constipation is fiber. Fiber moves the bowels. It acts as a broom and sweeps the colon. Fibrous foods include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Psyllium is a powerful fibrous herb. It not only sweeps the colon but cleans the entire intestinal tract. That’s because it quickly gels in liquids. Once inside the body it swells to fit the contours of the intestinal tract.
Slippery elm is another wonderful colon cleansing herb. Called nature’s natural stool softener, slippery elm is mild enough for babies. Mix it in their food or in their milk. Mothers may pump breast milk and mix with it a little slippery elm. It is very soothing.
Flaxseed is another great fiber for bowel movement. Buy the seeds. Then grind only enough of them for immediate use. Ground flaxseed is best and easy to use, as it can be sprinkled on foods. Because ground flaxseed breaks down, it quickly loses it power, unless refrigerated.
Times of Refreshing has a colon cleanse tonic available at the online store, which contains Cascara Sagrada, Mandrake, Psyllium, Senna, Slippery Elm, and Stevia. It is perfectly blended for successful movement, without creating a dependency upon it. The best way to take the colon cleanse is to take it just before bedtime. It encourages early morning bowel activity. It is safe enough for nursing mothers to use. Nursing infants that are constipated can benefit when mothers take it. It is not recommended to be given directly to infants.
It is best to prepare it in a small 6-ounce jelly jar. Mix the suggested amount of Colon Cleanse with water or juice. Pineapple juice is a great choice. Shake it vigorously. Do not walk away. Quickly drink it all down before the psyllium gels. Otherwise, the psyllium will gel with the water, and you won’t be able to easily swallow it down.
Beyond eating fibrous foods, drinking water, and exercising, Pastor Flemons recommends avoiding the flesh of animals and animal byproducts, like dairy, as they contain no fiber in them. Instead, they add toxins to the system. By all means, avoid constipation. Pastor Flemons says, “It is the fastest way to keep toxins clogged up in your system.”
