Words of Encouragement
Jeremiah 15:11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Amos 5:24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
For Heaven’s Sake…
“Jesus chose unlearned fishermen because they had not been schooled in the traditions and erroneous customs of their time. They were men of native ability, and they were humble and teachable,–men whom He could educate for His work. In the common walks of life there is many a man patiently treading the round of daily toil, unconscious that he possesses powers which, if called into action, would raise him to an equality with the world’s most honored men. The touch of a skillful hand is needed to arouse those dormant faculties. It was such men that Jesus called to be His colaborers; and He gave them the advantage of association with Himself. Never had the world’s great men such a teacher. When the disciples came forth from the Saviour’s training, they were no longer ignorant and uncultured. They had become like Him in mind and character, and men took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus. DA 250.1
“It is not the highest work of education to communicate knowledge merely, but to impart that vitalizing energy which is received through the contact of mind with mind, and soul with soul. It is only life that can beget life. What privilege, then, was theirs who for three years were in daily contact with that divine life from which has flowed every life-giving impulse that has blessed the world! Above all his companions, John the beloved disciple yielded himself to the power of that wondrous life. He says, ‘The life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.’ ‘Of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.’ 1 John 1:2; John 1:16. DA 250.2
“In the apostles of our Lord there was nothing to bring glory to themselves. It was evident that the success of their labors was due only to God. The lives of these men, the characters they developed, and the mighty work that God wrought through them, are a testimony to what He will do for all who are teachable and obedient. DA 250.3
“He who loves Christ the most will do the greatest amount of good. There is no limit to the usefulness of one who, by putting self aside, makes room for the working of the Holy Spirit upon his heart, and lives a life wholly consecrated to God. If men will endure the necessary discipline, without complaining or fainting by the way, God will teach them hour by hour, and day by day. He longs to reveal His grace. If His people will remove the obstructions, He will pour forth the waters of salvation in abundant streams through the human channels. If men in humble life were encouraged to do all the good they could do, if restraining hands were not laid upon them to repress their zeal, there would be a hundred workers for Christ where now there is one. DA 250.4
“God takes men as they are, and educates them for His service, if they will yield themselves to Him. The Spirit of God, received into the soul, will quicken all its faculties. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the mind that is devoted unreservedly to God develops harmoniously, and is strengthened to comprehend and fulfill the requirements of God. The weak, vacillating character becomes changed to one of strength and steadfastness. Continual devotion establishes so close a relation between Jesus and His disciple that the Christian becomes like Him in mind and character. Through a connection with Christ he will have clearer and broader views. His discernment will be more penetrative, his judgment better balanced. He who longs to be of service to Christ is so quickened by the life-giving power of the Sun of Righteousness that he is enabled to bear much fruit to the glory of God. DA 251.1
“Men of the highest education in the arts and sciences have learned precious lessons from Christians in humble life who were designated by the world as unlearned. But these obscure disciples had obtained an education in the highest of all schools. They had sat at the feet of Him who spoke as ‘never man spake.'” DA 251.2
(This study is based on Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:16-20; Luke 5:1-11; and chapter 25, “The Call by the Sea,” in The Desire of Ages (DA), by Ellen G. White.)
For Health’s Sake. . .
In fact, the article states, “Many studies have shown stress levels on the rise since Trump’s election, both among his opponents and supporters.” Pastor Flemons says that he believes the health of Americans would improve if all medications, except those for trauma or emergencies, were stopped. He qualified his statement with a discussion about those who are suffering from an advanced stage of diseases. People in general, however, would be more inclined to take better care of themselves to prevent disease. That would involve a lifestyle change, which is daily promoted by Pastor Flemons and the Times of Refreshing Wellness Ministry. It, by the way, also helps bring healing. We call it the REFRESHING Way lifestyle.
The REFRESHING Way lifestyle involves R – relying on God; E – eating healthy; F – (getting) fresh air; R – rest; E – exercise; S – self-control; H – H2O, water; I – (being) in the sun; N – never giving up; and G – giving to others.
On a final note, Pastor Flemons highly recommends watching three videos: “What the Health,” “Forks Over Knives,” and “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.”
