Words of Encouragement
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Proverbs 14:12 There is way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

For Heaven’s Sake…
“Among the mountains of Gilead, east of the Jordan, there dwelt in the days of Ahab a man of faith and prayer whose fearless ministry was destined to check the rapid spread of apostasy in Israel. Far removed from any city of renown, and occupying no high station in life, Elijah the Tishbite nevertheless entered upon his mission confident in God’s purpose to prepare the way before him and to give him abundant success. The word of faith and power was upon his lips, and his whole life was devoted to the work of reform. His was the voice of one crying in the wilderness to rebuke sin and press back the tide of evil. And while he came to the people as a reprover of sin, his message offered the balm of Gilead to the sin-sick souls of all who desired to be healed.
“To Elijah was entrusted the mission of delivering to Ahab Heaven’s message of judgment. He did not seek to be the Lord’s messenger; the word of the Lord came to him. And jealous for the honor of God’s cause, he did not hesitate to obey the divine summons, though to obey seemed to invite swift destruction at the hand of the wicked king. The prophet set out at once and traveled night and day until he reached Samaria. At the palace he solicited no admission, nor waited to be formally announced. Clad in the coarse garments usually worn by the prophets of that time, he passed the guards, apparently unnoticed, and stood for a moment before the astonished king.
“Elijah made no apology for his abrupt appearance. A Greater than the ruler of Israel had commissioned him to speak; and, lifting his hand toward heaven, he solemnly affirmed by the living God that the judgments of the Most High were about to fall upon Israel. ‘As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand,’ he declared, ‘there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.’
“It was only by the exercise of strong faith in the unfailing power of God’s word that Elijah delivered his message. Had he not possessed implicit confidence in the One whom he served, he would never have appeared before Ahab. … Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, the message of impending judgment fell upon the ears of the wicked king; but before Ahab could recover from his astonishment, or frame a reply, Elijah disappeared as abruptly as he had come, without waiting to witness the effect of his message. And the Lord went before him, making plain the way. ‘Turn thee eastward,’ the prophet was bidden, ‘and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee.’PK 121.2″
Had Israel listened and obeyed to the earlier appeals of messengers sent from God, Elijah’s message of judgment would never have been needed or ordered. Immediately, Elijah’s message went into effect. God’s judgments were meant only to bring Israel to repentance. Still, instead of repentance, their pride was wounded and their anger aroused. They wanted Elijah dead. They just couldn’t find him; so they killed all the prophets they could put their hands on, except the one hundred prophets Obadiah, the brave governor of Ahab’s house, hid and fed in a cave.
They still had a long way to go before an attitude of repentance and rain would return. Meanwhile, many died, including their children. But they had been assured of this promise: “If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people; if My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:13, 14). Until then, the dew and the rain continued to be withheld.
That was a literal rain, but the same thing goes for us spiritually. To that, Pastor Flemons said essentially this: God cannot fill us with the Holy Spirit, when we refuse to give up known sins in our lives.

For Health’s Sake…
Enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and pretty much any reproductive organ condition can be helped from vegetable juicing. No one remedy is a panacea. We believe in a total lifestyle package of detoxifying the system, embracing the REFRESHING lifestyle regimen, and using natural remedies as appropriate.
At TOR a 10-day juice feast is the way to detoxify and nourish the system. Pastor Flemons highly recommends green drinks, with a base of organic celery or cucumbers. Keep in mind that there are more toxins in foods that are not organic or non-GMO. If you have some serious known fungus situation, use only green drinks.
“The only hope of better things is in the education of the people in right principles. Let physicians teach the people that restorative power is not in drugs, but in nature. Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system. MH 127.1″
