Words of Encouragement
Isaiah 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day.
Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
For Heaven’s Sake…
His glory was veiled. His majesty was not to be the attraction. Only His character and the testimony of the word of God were to draw the world to Him for the sake of salvation.
Angels held Him in awe and wondered at this glorious plan of redemption. They were anxious to see how God’s people would receive His Son as a human. They were amazed to see the indifference of the chosen people, called to witness to the world of sacred truths. Their indifference led to their unpreparedness to receive the Savior of the world.
Still, the time was at hand. And just as was prophesied, Jesus was born in a manger. A throng of heavenly angels waited to announce his birth to the world. But the Savior of the world was found in the signal swaddling clothes by only a select few. Having been untrue to their trust, the leaders in Israel were passed by. They could not share in “the joy of heralding the birth of Jesus.”
“God declares, ‘I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.’ ‘Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.’ Isa. 44:3; Ps. 112:4. To those who are seeking for light, and who accept it with gladness, the bright rays from the throne of God will shine. DA 47.2
“In the fields where the boy David had led his flock, shepherds were still keeping watch by night. Through the silent hours they talked together of the promised Saviour, and prayed for the coming of the King to David’s throne. ‘And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.’ DA 47.3
“At these words, visions of glory fill the minds of the listening shepherds. The Deliverer has come to Israel! Power, exaltation, triumph, are associated with His coming. But the angel must prepare them to recognize their Saviour in poverty and humiliation. “This shall be a sign unto you,” he says; ‘Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ DA 47.4
“The heavenly messenger had quieted their fears. He had told them how to find Jesus. With tender regard for their human weakness, he had given them time to become accustomed to the divine radiance. Then the joy and glory could no longer be hidden. The whole plain was lighted up with the bright shining of the hosts of God. Earth was hushed, and heaven stooped to listen to the song,– DA 47.5
And on earth peace, good will toward men.’ DA 48.1
“As the angels disappeared, the light faded away, and the shadows of night once more fell on the hills of Bethlehem. But the brightest picture ever beheld by human eyes remained in the memory of the shepherds. ‘And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.'” DA 48.3

For Health’s Sake…
“Most cancers can be cured if you don’t wait too late,” says Pastor Flemons. “We spend millions of dollars on these studies,” he says, “and all we have to do is just eat the Bible way.”
Science still has not caught up with the Bible. Scientists are just learning about the value of a proper diet and the power that is packed in nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables to fight cancer. They still, however, don’t get it. It’s not about eating less red meat. It’s about not eating red meat. It’s about not eating any kind of meat at all.
Times of Refreshing Wellness Ministry is taking the world back to the Bible. We call it biblical wellness. It’s a revolutionary concept. And it works! The world seems surprised, even amazed, at what it is learning about the healing properties in foods, according to the study mentioned in the presentation. The concept is not new. “We’re just disobedient,” says Pastor Flemons.
“Listen to me,” he says. “If we would eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Get rid of beef. Get rid of chicken. Get rid of fish. Get rid of cow’s milk and goat’s milk and other things like that. Get rid of eggs. And get rid of cheese. And get rid of all these processed foods and cans and boxes that have to have all this processing. … The point is, we don’t even have to get cancer.”
