Words of Encouragement
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Psalm 36:7-8 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

For Heaven’s Sake…
David had been called and anointed to the throne long before he was ever crowned king of Judah. He was patient in waiting to ascend the throne. He continued as a shepherd. He spent time as the king’s personal musician. He was a walk-on in his first battle against the Philistines, when he slew the giant Goliath. His victory, however, resulted in “friendly” fire. The jealous and unpredictable rage of Saul, the king, made him a fugitive. Still David patiently waited. He waited for God to open the door. David sought God’s direction in most everything. Finally, it was time for David to ascend the throne.
“The death of Saul removed the dangers that had made David an exile. The way was now open for him to return to his own land. When the days of mourning for Saul and Jonathan were ended, ‘David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And He said, Unto Hebron.’ PP 697.1”
“We have a calling on our lives: everyone of us. The problem is most people never get to their calling,” says Pastor Flemons. “Yes, we are all called to spread the gospel.” But listen to this. God says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5) That tells us, says Pastor Flemons that God already marked out our career paths before we were born. If we would trust God to direct us every step of our lives, life would be much more satisfying and fulfilling and much more healthy and prosperous.
Proverbs 3:5-6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths.
Another problem is this: We live in an instant society. We want too much too fast. We want everything right now. So we move ahead of God. We trust too much in academic degrees for future stability and prosperity and fail to consult God in everything. Because of the push to get degrees and to follow so-called solid paths to success, we are sometimes in our 50s and beyond before we know what it is God had long ago called us to do.
While we are waiting on God for our next move, we must learn to be content where we are. Allow God to promote you, or you will end up in trouble like Abner. He was impatient for honor and after various manipulations, he was murdered by another one jealous for honor.
If you accept a call from God to help save a soul, be assured that you will be opposed. Anything you do for God will be opposed. Don’t worry. Just trust and obey. “When you are anointed, you need to let God fight those battles,” says Pastor Flemons.
Too often too many find themselves dreading Mondays. It’s because of living out of God’s will. Once we know God’s will for us, we must ask how we should accomplish it. Then we must obey: step by step. That is success. And when you have received God’s promotion, remember those who helped you along the way. Even in that, ask what would God have you do. These are lifelong lessons from God’s word and the Spirit of prophecy.

For Health’s Sake…
Fibroid tumors, which are a collection of toxins, says Pastor Flemons, can be as small as a pea and as large as a watermelon, as stated in the article. They cause excessive menstrual bleeding, pressure and pain in the pelvic region, and frequent urination among other symptoms. The article states, “Fibroids usually worsen with a high intake of pesticides and hormones which is sometimes fed to poultry to make them grow.” Pastor Flemons commented that unless you personally grow your own chicken, pesticides and hormones are almost always used to promote rapid growth. “It’s the excessive protein that causes fibroids,” Pastor Flemons mentioned.
Although most doctors recommend chicken and fish, some gynecologists and Pastor Flemons recommend a plant-based diet and natural fruit sugars. It is important to mention that soy that is non-genetically modified (Non-GMO) is safe to eat, unless you have a sensitivity to soy.
Pastor Flemons suggests detoxifying the body. Detoxifying the liver helps balance the hormones. That lessens the fibroids. Hysterectomy is not recommended for fibroids, as the symptoms of fibroid tumors can dissipate within days during a highly nutritious juice feast. Visit our website for Brandy’s testimony.
