Students in the hereafter
We will be students of the Most High throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity.
The Sabbath is a time of learning more about God. We will keep the Sabbath every week throughout eternity.
Is. 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
The Redeemed are able to behold the Father and Son unveiled by a temple.
“I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” Revelation 21:22. The people of God are privileged to hold open communion with the Father and the Son. “Now we see through a glass, darkly.” 1 Corinthians 13:12. We behold the image of God reflected, as in a mirror, in the works of nature and in His dealings with men; but then we shall see Him face to face, without a dimming veil between. We shall stand in His presence and behold the glory of His countenance. {GC 676, 677.4} Great Controversy pp. 676,677
Is. 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Rev. 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
2Tim. 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
We will constantly be learning from God throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity!
Benefits of grapes and grape juice
Maria Flemons shared an overview of fruits as well as the benefits of grapes and grape juice.
From Section 5 (p. 557) of the book Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss, she shared that fruits should compose a large part of the diet. Since the dawn of creation, fruit has deteriorated. Nevertheless, fruit exposed to the sun during its growing phase is still an untold blessing. Fruit trees need pruning and dressing so that the sun can make contact with the fruit for some time every day. Fruit has little value and is difficult to digest, until it is fully ripened. Then it is easily digested.
It is just the opposite for grains, which can be eaten raw before they are ripened. In fact, if they are fully ripened, they must be fully cooked for proper digestion.
She added that combining equal parts of freshly juiced, vine-ripened grapes and a nut milk is “an excellent remedy for anemia.” In fact, it “quickly furnishes the system with new blood of the purest kind.”
For those with cancer, the advice is to combine 2/3 cup of grape juice, 1/3 cup of water, and 1 heaping teaspoon of soybean flour. It is very nourishing and highly recommended!

Goals for prayer
Imitating the life of Christ “As God is pure in His sphere, so man is to be pure in his. And he will be pure if Christ is formed within, the hope of glory; for he will imitate Christ’s life and reflect His character. “{GW 366.1} Gospel Workers p. 366
The Holy Spirit in our Hearts and Homes “In order to be purified and to remain pure, Seventh-day Adventists must have the Holy Spirit in their hearts and in their homes.” {9T 164} Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 9, p. 164
“If ever there was a time when we needed the working of the Spirit of God upon our hearts and lives, it is now. Let us lay hold of this divine power for strength to live a life of holiness and self-surrender.” {9T 165.3} Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 9, p. 165
Under His Control “As we work in connection with the Great Teacher, the mental faculties are developed. The conscience is under divine guidance. Christ takes the entire being under His control. {6T 476.3}
“No one can be truly united with Christ, practicing His lessons, submitting to His yoke of restraint, without realizing that which he can never express in words. New, rich thoughts come to him. Light is given to the intellect, determination to the will, sensitiveness to the conscience, purity to the imagination.” {6T 476, 477} Testimonies for the Church, pp. 476, 477.
Pure in Heart Here “Into the city of God there will enter nothing that defiles. All who are to be dwellers there will here have become pure in heart. In one who is learning of Jesus, there will be manifest a growing distaste for careless manners, unseemly language, and coarse thought. When Christ abides in the heart, there will be purity and refinement of thought and manner.” {MB 24.3} Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, pp. 24,25
Please Pray
Caller 6485 gave a testimony of how after using the cleansing prayer, God revealed the source of a particular sin. This is called the root of the sin. God showed her that the root came from another country on her father’s side. She also gave thanks for a Bible study she and her family had with Pastor Flemons and Sister Maria. She asked for prayer to work out her schedule so that she has time with God.
Caller 6970 praised God for her pain as she gave her testimony about ministering to someone who could not use the limbs, which to her are painful to use. She also asked prayer for one less fortunate.
Caller 5684 praised God she is getting better. She asked prayer for a small dog that is missing.
