Words of Encouragement
Isaiah 56:1-2 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
For Heaven’s Sake…
“But Jesus had ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.’ The one law of His life was the Father’s will. In the visit to the temple in His boyhood, He had said to Mary, ‘Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?’ Luke 2:49. At Cana, when Mary desired Him to reveal His miraculous power, His answer was, ‘Mine hour is not yet come.’ John 2:4. With the same words He replied to His brothers when they urged Him to go to the feast. But in God’s great plan the hour had been appointed for the offering of Himself for the sins of men, and that hour was soon to strike. He would not fail nor falter. His steps are turned toward Jerusalem, where His foes have long plotted to take His life; now He will lay it down. He set His face steadfastly to go to persecution, denial, rejection, condemnation, and death. DA 486.2
“With a great show of prudence the rabbis had warned the people against receiving the new doctrines taught by this new teacher; for His theories and practices were contrary to the teachings of the fathers. The people gave credence to what the priests and Pharisees taught, in place of seeking to understand the word of God for themselves. They honored the priests and rulers instead of honoring God, and rejected the truth that they might keep their own traditions. Many had been impressed and almost persuaded; but they did not act upon their convictions, and were not reckoned on the side of Christ. Satan presented his temptations, until the light appeared as darkness. Thus many rejected the truth that would have proved the saving of the soul. DA 489.4
“The scenes of the past and the future were presented to the mind of Jesus. He beheld Lucifer as he was first cast out from the heavenly places. He looked forward to the scenes of His own agony, when before all the worlds the character of the deceiver should be unveiled. He heard the cry, ‘It is finished’ (John 19:30), announcing that the redemption of the lost race was forever made certain, that heaven was made eternally secure against the accusations, the deceptions, the pretensions, that Satan would instigate. DA 490.2
“Beyond the cross of Calvary, with its agony and shame, Jesus looked forward to the great final day, when the prince of the power of the air will meet his destruction in the earth so long marred by his rebellion. Jesus beheld the work of evil forever ended, and the peace of God filling heaven and earth. DA 490.3
“Henceforward Christ’s followers were to look upon Satan as a conquered foe. Upon the cross, Jesus was to gain the victory for them; that victory He desired them to accept as their own. ‘Behold,’ He said, ‘I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.’ DA 490.4
“The omnipotent power of the Holy Spirit is the defense of every contrite soul. Not one that in penitence and faith has claimed His protection will Christ permit to pass under the enemy’s power. The Saviour is by the side of His tempted and tried ones. With Him there can be no such thing as failure, loss, impossibility, or defeat; we can do all things through Him who strengthens us. When temptations and trials come, do not wait to adjust all the difficulties, but look to Jesus, your helper. DA 490.5
“There are Christians who think and speak altogether too much about the power of Satan. They think of their adversary, they pray about him, they talk about him, and he looms up greater and greater in their imagination. It is true that Satan is a powerful being; but, thank God, we have a mighty Saviour, who cast out the evil one from heaven. Satan is pleased when we magnify his power. Why not talk of Jesus? Why not magnify His power and His love? DA 493.1
“The rainbow of promise encircling the throne on high is an everlasting testimony that ‘God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’ John 3:16. It testifies to the universe that God will never forsake His people in their struggle with evil. It is an assurance to us of strength and protection as long as the throne itself shall endure. DA 493.2”

For Health’s Sake. . .
- 1. Drink it more than anything else.
- 2. Drink it for easier elimination: perspiration, urination, defecation, detoxification, respiration.
- 3. Take your weight and divide it by 2. Drink this amount in ounces every day.
- 4. Use your urine as a guide. If it is not clear, drink more water, even if you are drinking your quota. Those who talk a lot, loose more than the average amount of water through respiration. Those who perspire more than the average, also must drink more than the quota.
- 5. Do not drink with your meals. Separate your meals from drinking liquids by at least 1 hour before and 1 or 2 hours after meals. If you feel dehydrated, sipping a bit of water before a meal is better than drinking no water and eating while dehydrated.
- 6. Drink pure, soft water. It may be distilled.
- 7. Don’t drink chemical-laden water (water with chloride, etc.).
- 8. Begin your day with one (8-12 oz) glass of warm lemon water.
- 9. Drink your quota throughout the day, rather than at once, even when you must drink it all within an hour as a remedy to stave off cold.
- 10. If you’re on a 100-oz juice feast per day, you may adjust your water quota down a bit.
- 11. Don’t drink it too hot or too cold.
