Words of Encouragement
Proverbs 21:21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
1 Kings 19:8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
For Heaven’s Sake…
They were called to be sent forth as witnesses. They were to tell the world what they had seen and heard of Jesus. They were to be co-laborers with God in saving the world from sin. Just as the twelve patriarchs represented Israel in the Old Testament, so the twelve apostles were to stand as representatives of the gospel church.
“The apostles differed widely in habits and disposition. There were the publican, Levi-Matthew, and the fiery zealot Simon, the uncompromising hater of the authority of Rome; the generous, impulsive Peter, and the mean-spirited Judas; Thomas, truehearted, yet timid and fearful, Philip, slow of heart, and inclined to doubt, and the ambitious, outspoken sons of Zebedee, with their brethren. These were brought together, with their different faults, all with inherited and cultivated tendencies to evil; but in and through Christ they were to dwell in the family of God, learning to become one in faith, in doctrine, in spirit. They would have their tests, their grievances, their differences of opinion; but while Christ was abiding in the heart, there could be no dissension. His love would lead to love for one another; the lessons of the Master would lead to the harmonizing of all differences, bringing the disciples into unity, till they would be of one mind and one judgment. Christ is the great center, and they would approach one another just in proportion as they approached the center. DA 296.2
“When Jesus had ended His instruction to the disciples, He gathered the little band close about Him, and kneeling in the midst of them, and laying His hands upon their heads, He offered a prayer dedicating them to His sacred work. Thus the Lord’s disciples were ordained to the gospel ministry. DA 296.3
“As His representatives among men, Christ does not choose angels who have never fallen, but human beings, men of like passions with those they seek to save. Christ took upon Himself humanity, that He might reach humanity. Divinity needed humanity; for it required both the divine and the human to bring salvation to the world. Divinity needed humanity, that humanity might afford a channel of communication between God and man. So with the servants and messengers of Christ. Man needs a power outside of and beyond himself, to restore him to the likeness of God, and enable him to do the work of God; but this does not make the human agency unessential. Humanity lays hold upon divine power, Christ dwells in the heart by faith; and through co-operation with the divine, the power of man becomes efficient for good. DA 296.4
“He who called the fisherman of Galilee is still calling men to His service. And He is just as willing to manifest His power through us as through the first disciples. However imperfect and sinful we may be, the Lord holds out to us the offer of partnership with Himself, of apprenticeship to Christ. He invites us to come under the divine instruction, that, uniting with Christ, we may work the works of God. DA 297.1
“‘We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.’ 2 Cor. 4:7, R. V. This is why the preaching of the gospel was committed to erring men rather than to the angels. It is manifest that the power which works through the weakness of humanity is the power of God; and thus we are encouraged to believe that the power which can help others as weak as ourselves can help us. And those who are themselves ‘compassed with infirmity’ should be able to ‘have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way.’ Heb. 5:2. Having been in peril themselves, they are acquainted with the dangers and difficulties of the way, and for this reason are called to reach out for others in like peril. There are souls perplexed with doubt, burdened with infirmities, weak in faith, and unable to grasp the Unseen; but a friend whom they can see, coming to them in Christ’s stead, can be a connecting link to fasten their trembling faith upon Christ. DA 297.2

For Health’s Sake. . .
Adrenal fatigue is a stress-related condition that occurs when your adrenal glands, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland are functioning below optimal level. Typically adrenal fatigue is the result of chronic physical or emotional stress.
The most common symptoms of adrenal fatigue are these:
- 1. Difficulty getting up in the morning
- 2. High levels of fatigue every day
- 3. Inability to handle stress
- 4. Cravings for salty foods
- 5. Higher energy levels in the evenings
- 6. Overuse of stimulants like caffeine
- 7. A weak immune system
Pastor Flemons mentioned an additional seventeen less common symptoms of adrenal fatigue listed on the website that he used as a basis for the discussion. Listen to the recording or visit AdrenalFatigueSolution.com for more complete details.
If you are suffering from adrenal fatigue, you must eliminate stressors. Sometimes, simplifying and organizing your life can help eliminate stressors that burden the adrenals. The SPACE principle can help you organize your life: S – separate; P – purge; A – assign; C – contain; and E – evaluate. Listen to the recording to hear examples for using SPACE to eliminate the stressors in your life and eliminate adrenal fatigue.
