Worship: For Heaven’s Sake “The connection of the visible with the invisible world, the ministration of angels of God, and the agency of evil spirits, are plainly revealed in the Scriptures, and inseparably interwoven with human history.” {GC 511.1} (Read more below.)
Wellness: For Health’s Sake Castor oil is easy to use internally and externally. However, you must be careful about protecting clothing and linen from oil stains. Pastor Flemons, a doctor of biblical wellness, says there are “interesting ways” of doing that. (Read more below.)

Words of Encouragement
Colossians 3:12-13 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Job 16:26-27 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
For Heaven’s Sake…
“A guardian angel is appointed to every follower of Christ. These heavenly watchers shield the righteous from the power of the wicked one. This Satan himself recognized when he said: ‘Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not Thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?’ Job 1:9, 10. The agency by which God protects His people is presented in the words of the psalmist: ‘The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.’ Psalm 34:7. Said the Saviour, speaking of those that believe in Him: ‘Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father.’ Matthew 18:10. The angels appointed to minister to the children of God have at all times access to His presence. {GC 512.2}
“Thus God’s people, exposed to the deceptive power and unsleeping malice of the prince of darkness, and in conflict with all the forces of evil, are assured of the unceasing guardianship of heavenly angels. Nor is such assurance given without need. If God has granted to His children promise of grace and protection, it is because there are mighty agencies of evil to be met—agencies numerous, determined, and untiring, of whose malignity and power none can safely be ignorant or unheeding. {GC 513.1}
“Evil spirits, in the beginning created sinless, were equal in nature, power, and glory with the holy beings that are now God’s messengers. But fallen through sin, they are leagued together for the dishonor of God and the destruction of men. United with Satan in his rebellion, and with him cast out from heaven, they have, through all succeeding ages, co-operated with him in his warfare against the divine authority. We are told in Scripture of their confederacy and government, of their various orders, of their intelligence and subtlety, and of their malicious designs against the peace and happiness of men. {GC 513.2}
“The fact that men have been possessed with demons, is clearly stated in the New Testament. The persons thus afflicted were not merely suffering with disease from natural causes. Christ had perfect understanding of that with which He was dealing, and He recognized the direct presence and agency of evil spirits. {GC 514.1}
“Those possessed with devils are usually represented as being in a condition of great suffering; yet there were exceptions to this rule. For the sake of obtaining supernatural power, some welcomed the satanic influence. These of course had no conflict with the demons. Of this class were those who possessed the spirit of divination,—Simon Magus, Elymas the sorcerer, and the damsel who followed Paul and Silas at Philippi. {GC 516.1}
“Fearful is the condition of those who resist the divine claims and yield to Satan’s temptations, until God gives them up to the control of evil spirits. But those who follow Christ are ever safe under His watchcare. Angels that excel in strength are sent from heaven to protect them. The wicked one cannot break through the guard which God has stationed about His people. {GC 517.2}”

For Health’s Sake…
To use castor oil externally, pour the oil into the middle of a linen cloth, which has been laid over a stainless steel pan. Spread the oil over the cloth. Place the oiled cloth-covered pan in a warm oven just long enough to slightly warm the oil. Be careful to not overheat the oil. It must be tolerable to the skin.
The bottle of castor oil can be warmed in a pot of hot water. Once the oil is warm, it may be poured onto a disposable bed pad (cut or adjusted to the size of the affected area). Cover the affected area. It may be used this way overnight for tumors (cancerous or benign), skin disorders and infections, swollen skin, keratoses, and abrasions.
Castor oil may simply be applied directly onto the skin in cases of acne, itchy skin, ringworm and fungal infections or to help hair grow.
Castor oil may be used internally as a laxative or for parasites. Because castor oil is bitter to the taste, it may be taken once daily in a liquid, like orange juice, according to directions below:
1 teaspoon for adults
1/2 teaspoon for children 12 and older
1/4 teaspoon or less for children younger than 12 and at least 2 years old
