Words of Encouragement
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

For Heaven’s Sake…
“Had Israel heeded the messages of the prophets, they would have been spared the humiliation that followed. It was because they had persisted in turning aside from His law that God was compelled to let them go into captivity. ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,’ was His message to them through Hosea. ‘Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee: … seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God.’ Hosea 4:6.PK 297.1
“In every age, transgression of God’s law has been followed by the same result. In the days of Noah, when every principle of rightdoing was violated, and iniquity became so deep and widespread that God could no longer bear with it, the decree went forth, ‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth.’ Genesis 6:7. In Abraham’s day the people of Sodom openly defied God and His law; and there followed the same wickedness, the same corruption, the same unbridled indulgence, that had marked the antediluvian world. The inhabitants of Sodom passed the limits of divine forbearance, and there was kindled against them the fire of God’s vengeance.PK 297.2
“The time preceding the captivity of the ten tribes of Israel was one of similar disobedience and of similar wickedness. God’s law was counted as a thing of nought, and this opened the floodgates of iniquity upon Israel. ‘The Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,’ Hosea declared, ‘because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.’ Hosea 4:1, 2.PK 297.3″
“God will not condemn any at the judgment because they honestly believed a lie, or conscientiously cherished error; but it will be because they neglected the opportunities of making themselves acquainted with truth. The infidel will be condemned, not because he was an infidel, but because he did not take advantage of the means God has placed within his reach to enable him to become a Christian.TM 437.1″

For Health’s Sake…
“There really is only one disease and one cause,” says Pastor Flemons. It just manifests itself in different ways, depending on the location of the disease in the body. When the laws of health are violated, the body becomes acidic and disease is the result.
Your body becomes acidic if you smoke. Your body becomes acidic if you drink. Your body becomes acidic if you eat the flesh of dead animals or eggs or dairy or too many refined foods. Your body becomes acidic if you drink with your meals, recline on undigested food, experience too much stress, or don’t exercise enough. The list could go on and on.
In the case of osteopenia, the acidic bloodstream has caused the body to extract calcium from the bones to alkalinize the blood. As the body loses more calcium, bone density decreases. Osteopenia is the loss of bone density up to a certain measure. Beyond that measure, when too much calcium is leeched from the bone particularly in the spine, osteoporosis develops. When the bone becomes too porus, the bone is easily broken.
With a proper diet and healthy lifestyle, the body will be in balance and the calcium the bones need will be locked in the bones and not leeched out to supply a need in the bloodstream.
