Words of Encouragement
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

For Heaven’s Sake…
That means all of the Bible, says Pastor Flemons. Still, some have boldly added doctrines that are not supported by the Bible, like infant baptism and Sunday sacredness. They have even removed messages that are essential for every Christian, like the prophetic week that points to the crucifixion of the Messiah, which is at the heart of Christianity.
This prophetic week has been used as the basis for the secret rapture theory. The danger here is that such a theory erroneously leads people to believe that there is a chance for salvation after the second coming of Christ, when according to the Bible Jesus is only coming to take the saved to heaven. That will be too late for anyone who is not already saved to be saved.
In fact, the Bible is clear that the righteous and wicked are determined before the second coming of Christ:
Revelation 22:11-12 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Pastor Flemons passionately pleads, “Let’s be true to Scripture, even though you might lose some friends.” God didn’t ask us to honor the resurrection; He asked us to honor the Sabbath. The Sabbath is His chosen sign that links Him with His people. Baptism is a public expression of a personal choice to follow Jesus Christ with the full intellectual understanding of what that means. Obviously, infants cannot do that, and there is nowhere in Scripture that supports infant baptism. Both infant baptism and Sunday sacredness are additions to Scripture.
Again the Bible is clear:
Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
For Health’s Sake…
POLYPHARMACY, they say, is “the use of 5 or more medications by the same person at the same time — putting patients at increased risk for drug interactions and side effects.”
Recently, a TOR guest arrived with a bag of at least 15 prescribed medications that she was determined to take no more. Since the 80s, she had been taking 30 medicines twice a day to treat diabetes, hypertension, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety. She was halfway her goal when she arrived at the wellness retreat and immediately began the 10-day juice feast. Against TOR counsel, she immediately stopped all of the rest of her meds “because God told her to,” she said. Before the retreat was over, she was feeling grateful for her courageous decision. She felt healthier than when medicated; and her labs confirmed her improvement. Before the 10-day juice feast was over, her blood pressure and sugar levels had normalized.
Rather than risk your health with POLYPHARMACY, Pastor Flemons, a doctor of biblical wellness and naturopathy, highly recommends GOD’s FARMACY of nuts, grains, fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs. Eating healthy, along with relying on God, getting fresh air, resting, exercising, practicing self-control, drinking the minimum daily requirement of water, getting the proper amount of sunlight, and being persistent and benevolent will yield REFRESHING results.
