Don't be a modern Phariseeof health improvement
Author: Yao Lianghong
There'sbeen a lot of controversy about the health message in the church. Some say Yaosister doesnot value health improvements. Some people say that the Times have changed and that thehealth improvement information of the time of Ellen Wyre is no longer applicable to our lateage, so there is no need to talk about health improvement now!
Toaddress this, I've talked about some of my thoughts in What COVID-19 Tells Us– The Importance of Health Improvement. Limited to the length, I just gavesome general direction. If the significance and value of this issue is to befully understood at the end of our time, it must be discussed in more depth andin more dimensions so that we know what true health improvement is like today!
Healthimprovement, as we all know, was a bright light in the mid-19th century. OnJune 6, 1863, Ellen Wyresaw a vision. Visions remind the adventists of the importance of health and theclose relationship between physical health and spiritual experience. The lightgiven involves many aspects of life, including diet, the value of fresh air,the use of water, wholesome clothing, exercise, temperance, rest, and so on.
Whatstands out most in this revelation is the bright light on the harmful effectsof doctors prescribing toxic drugs. In the years that followed, this vision ofbasic health improvement was followed by many more visions, showing in greaterdetail the principles of improvement and the application of those principles,guiding the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, calling for the establishmentof medical institutions (sanatorias), and the way in which Sabbath adventistsadministered those institutions.
Whydid God give Ellen Wyrethis light? We should know that the new light that God gives his people in eachera must be related to the social context of the time, and it is a reform tocorrect the great mistakes of that era.The previous reformation did not dealwith health, for example, in the Christian era, in the Mesoid Martin Luther era, it was all aboutthe depravity of reforming the truth, mainly from the moral law of God. And inthe age of Ellen Wyre,when the world began to enter the last age, God unexpectedly gave light tohealth improvement in addition to the Sabbath light of the Ten Commandments.What did it mean?
Atthis time, God gave Ellen Wyrethe message of health improvement, which was related to the rise and popularityof western medicine at that time. Western medicine is technically calledchemical medicine. Western medicine is synthesized by chemical, biological andother artificial means, rather than purely from plants, minerals and animals.
Inthe mid-19th century (the elite group began to study Western medicine before),western medicine developed rapidly, and the application of anatomy, anesthesia,antisepsis, asepsis and vaccinia inoculation, which swept the West, also beganto spread to China and the rest of the world, which laid a solid foundation forthe later spread of western medicine in the world.
Westernmedicine came into being in the name of science, which was the product of theelite groups of theJesuits and Freemasons who abused the world's people and grabbed economicbenefits. Although Western medicine has certain advantages in some aspects(such as quick effect), the harm caused by its disadvantages is far fromcomparable with its advantages (treating the symptoms rather than the rootcauses). Today, western medicine interest groups have monopolized the wholeworld's medical institutions. Over the years, traditional medicine has beenseverely suppressed under the control of western medicine interest groups,resulting in soaring global medical costs, which have now reached astronomicalfigures. By inventing western medicine and western medicine therapythatwon’t cause people to die but can't cure them,international medical group forces patients to continue treatment until theyrun out of money. In particular, cancer chemotherapy, radiation fraud, is ahuge conspiracy, so that people lose their wealth and money, patients' familiesalso owe them gratitude. Satan has brought forth the immorality of thuggery tothe point of inconceivable …
Godwould have foreseen that western medicine will be sweeping the world, the earthpeople's life and health and property bring great hidden danger and loss, sogive Ellen Wyrehealth improved light at the time, is in response to various medical latershady, to arouse people’s correct health protection and medicalawarenessand don'tbe trapped by the gods of the world, the satanists).Of course, it is more important totell God’s peoplehow should deal with the various plagues (incurablediseases,cancer, terminally ill,etc.) in the end. Through the study of Ellen Wyre, we find that the health therapy ofEllen Wyre,especially the diet modification therapy, is basically consistent with theChinese traditional medicine therapy.
Ellen Wyre’shealth is improved by the change of diet, exercise, trust in eight aspects,such as to restore the human immunity in order to improve the ways to deal withdisease.Thedoctor of traditional Chinese medicine is to use the function of various plantto eliminate pathogenic strength, coordination function of zang-fu organs andmeridians, correct lifting of Yin and Yang, to restore the body acid-basebalance, to achieve the purpose of healing. The principle is basically thesame. Their difference is: healthimprovement is to raise, Chinese medicine is to treat.Health improvement has no sideeffects and requires persistence; Traditional Chinese medicine is the rightmedicine, but there are certain side effects (a poisonin threeparts), but the toxicity from the plantwill gradually disappear with the body's cure, stop the drug.
Andthe toxin of western medicine is like the time bomb that bury in the body,accumulate over a long period of time, will gradually weaken a person’simmunity until disappear completely. Finally, drug resistance develops,and there is noeffective treatment. It may even develop into cancer. Even if it's not cancer,it turns people into the waste products of various diseases!
At that time, EllenWyrewas firmly opposed to western medicine. It can be seen from The Summary ofInformation thatdoctorswere keen on using the dangerous drugs they made up, but I was firmly opposedto the use of these things, because they had no therapeutic effect at all.Italleviates the symptoms, but causes more serious consequences. Many physicianswill not prescribe it to themselves or their children. If they had knownanything of the human body, of the subtlety and wonder of its mechanisms, theywould have known that we are too fearfully and wonderfully made to administerthese powerful drugs to the body. {2 sm279. 2} [2]
The dangerous medicine said by Ellen Wyre was western medicine. She said thatthose western medicine doctors would not prescribe such medicine to themselvesor their children, so they knew the harm of western medicine. Just as mostdoctors today do not approve chemotherapy or radiation for themselves or theirfamilies. They all know it! However, due to the novelty of this new thing andthe great publicity of interest groups, people were willing to try it andtended to use it for treatment.God gave light to Ellen Wyre, which is to prevent the abuse of Western medicine to protect their ownpeople, and forbid people to rely on and trust the secular hospital. God knowsthat the spread of western medicine will bring untold sufferings to the peopleof the world, and in the end it will get worse and incurable diseases willemerge one after another. The resulting plagues would be an important weapon inthe final killing, fulfilling biblical prophecies. Therefore, God's light of healthimprovement in the age of Ellen Wyre is the best plan for the health and self-preservation of all thosewaiting for the return of Jesus in the future.
Today, more than a hundred years have passed since the time of Ellen Wyre. With the development of science and technology, western medicinetechnology is constantly improving, the virus is also changing new generation,constantly upgrading. So, is the health improvement of the time of Ellen Wyre still suitable for us today? Does the American-born Ellen’s method of improvement applyto Chinese people or to people around the world?
I believe in the eight elements of health improvement for Ellen Wyre — air, sunshine, diet, water, exercise, rest, temperance and trust.Apartfrom "diet", the other seven points are agreed on (regardless ofnational boundaries), which is not a problem. The main objection is on"diet improvement". So I'm going to talk a little bit about my viewson "diet modification" today.
One thing tounderstand is this: does Satan know what the improvement in the health of Ellen Wyre means? Know! He knows that health reform is meant to deal with the viruses he is going to spread around the planet (the plague).So he will damagethe environment by industrialization (distribute toxins in the air), as well asanimals and plants .By Gene transformation, they make harmful genetically modified (gm) food spread all over the world, and control seeds, fertilizers and pesticides to achieve the purpose of killing people. These are weapons of slow killing. Whenever God proposes ameasure of salvation (a measure of reform), the devil counteracts a strategyagainst God's people. So the Reformation will go on until Christ comes again.Since the last people of God advocated vegetarianism, the devil geneticallyengineered crops (sources of vegetarianism) from the original organicingredients of plants to genetically modify them to be full of toxins andlacking nutrients. Therefore, even if you are healthy and improved, eat avegetarian diet and exercise, you are not necessarily healthy! That is why manypeople today are in better health but not in better health. Even the stricterthe improvement, the worse the health of the people are there!
In a world wherevegetarianism is advocated, many people know that eating meat (all hormonal) isunhealthy, and eating vegetarian food is also unhealthy. Therefore, interestgroups have created a variety of health clinics and dazzling health careproducts, which make the affluent people flock to them in a rush. These healthcare institutions have blossomed and will be one of the great healthattractions of the last days, the eve of the Second Coming. As we age, much ofour time, energy, and money are being spent on something that is destroying oursouls. That's exactly what the devil wants!
As God's people waiting for the second coming, we should think inreverse and fight against the devil. As [Lk16:15]For what is valued by men is detestable in the sight ofGod.Since the devil made the wholepopulation addicted to health reform, eventhe Adventist church and the Eleventh Hour church becausethere is no modern truth as support, can only on health improvement and has become a stereotype of modern pharisees.Then we will distinguish with them.We will have new understanding on health improvement andpositioning. We shouldn't be like them to follow the dietary laws of Ellen Wyre!
Since we don't haveaccess to holistic, healthy, organic food, and since quality food in modern timesdoesn't have the same physical quality as it did in thedays of Ellen Wyre, let's not be dogmatists and exacting Pharisees in ourdiets. By faith we are saved. We believe not only the Prophets about thejudgment of the living, but also about the improvement of health, but we arenot Pharisees — that is, we do not go to extremes!
Because the devil is very cunning, he corrupts God’speople ‘s most ingenious means is to exploit every loophole .That it’s hard toguard against is the most insidious trick he captured the remnant people.So we are not rigid, not a dogma, not imitation.But we have to be flexible,resourceful. Wehave to followthis rulein our moral law and in natural law.
For example, one ofthe Ten Commandments of God is "do not commit adultery". In order toshow their piety, The Catholic Church forbids priests and nuns to get married.Therefore, there are frequent "sexual abuse scandals" and"pedophile scandals". This is what happens when they overcorrect. Now that the Catholic Jesuits have infiltratedthe Adventist Church, knowing that the Adventist church has the light of healthimprovement, they are taking advantage of the situation to turn thesanctimonious modern Pharisees in the Adventist Church into unkind, cold, healthy pseudo-christians who are against Christ(modern truth — The Prophets)!
Ellen Wyre said: [Beware of extreme]We want topropose moderation and health improvement from a biblical standpoint, and weneed to be very careful not to go to extremes to promote health improvement.We must be careful notto graft health improvement on a faulty branch according to our own excessivethinking, to weave our own strong character into health improvement, to make itthe voice of God, and to judge those who do not see the way we do. It takestime to eliminate wrong habits through education. {3 sm 284.5} [7]
Ellen Wyre here said that those who went to extremes would abruptlyadvocate health improvement. It shows that they promote health improvement forthe sake of health improvement, with no right purpose and no wise method. Itgrafts health-improvement information on the wrong branch by virtue of its ownstrong character, and prevents the light of modern truth from being shone.
This means thatmany people do not repent and do not know what is important and what is not.They do not understand that health improvement is a gradual process and cannotbe imposed. Their purpose is not to promote modern truth, but to promote healthimprovement, putting the cart before the horse, and thus becoming modernPharisees who stumble.
In the case oftough grafting for health improvement information, consider an incident that Ipersonally experienced that shows who certain people really are and theconsequences of doing so.
I accepted thetruth of the Prophets in October 2015. In order to strengthen people's understandingof the Prophets, brother Fan held a sermon (seven days) in Yueyang on December28, 2015. There were more than 150 people in the whole country. Because manyare just the persons accepting the book of the prophets, everyone excited,night rest ( at eight o 'clock) we several people concentrated in a room happily discussing (there were about seven or eight peoplepresent).When everyone is enthusiastic, suddenly a disharmonious, withangry voice broke out suddenly: "do you know the health improvement? Haveyou seenA Copy of Service of true interpretation? Have you seen"Health Promotion"? What is the use of knowing more of the Prophets?Can you be saved?" For a moment, everyone was stunned, looking at eachother and speechless.We were at a loss at the way she scowled. Did we dosomething wrong? To break the ice, I said, "Sister, it seems that you havea good knowledge of health improvement. You can give us some good healthadvice. But we're here because of the Prophets, which we've never heard of, andhealth improvement which we know a little bit about. If you have a good ideaabout health improvement, you can ask Brother Fan to arrange some classes foryou. You can train us!" After a great deal of acrimony, she presented aspiritual substance which one of the least discernment could perceive ashostile to the Prophets.
Later, Chai (laterShebna, then the head of brother Fan) told us thatthe sister was in charge of the health improvement of their church. She had already given three health lessons before we came here(because we only attended the next four days of study and did not hear herlecture), but people reacted badly, saying that she spoke in a hollow andboring way. Three lessons about her and her husband, and everywhere she gavehealth lessons about her and her husband, everyone was tired of hearing them!
So that's it! I hada strange feeling about this person — something strange about her motives,about her attitude. At least it shouldn't be a Christian attitude, maybesomething has offended her (because the devil doesn't want the light of TheProphets to shine)!
Think of the role acompetent person should play in the church! We are all new believers from allparts of the country. We are infants in the truth of the Prophets, and you, asmasters and elders of the truth, should encourage and help the newcomers. Butthe alleged head of the department, who has shown a baby-killing attitude, istaking a hard line and grafting health-improvement information on to the wrongbranches. Had I not been a person of firm faith, with her attitude, I wouldhave doubted the Prophets and hated the message of health improvement. New lifewill die!
During those days,many unpleasant events took place in the sermons, which were initiated by thepseudo-missionaries of health improvement. There was one other thing thathappened that I remember very well.The cooks were soquarrelsome about whether to put ginger and Onions and garlic in thestir-fry that the even meeting couldn't go on .When one person was sick, they blamed the ginger and garlic in the dish. What anitpick!(It’s not like everyone is sick)! And they deliberately made the problem big. I will not say the specific process. Of course, there is norule out that the Jesuits deliberately make a fuss and disrupt the meeting. Butsome people are known to go to extremes when it comes to eating!
After the Meetingin Yueyang, I felt the water inside the small group was very deep. I just askedGod to make it clear! It is true that shortly after (February and March 2016)the Lunar Sabbath and the original point event took place! In hindsight, Ithink it might have been the health-reform pseudo-monks who had caused such astir at that meeting. These "health improvements" with ulteriormotives have become Satan's invincible weapon against the Adventist Church and the ApostasyEleventh Hour Churches!
I have found aphenomenon that those who profess to pursue the modern truth have no interestin the new light of the truth, the Prophets. They are content with the statusquo, calm, and resist and interfere with the truth, but in the improvement ofdiet they show extraordinary enthusiasm and interest, almost to the point ofbeing possessed. One theory after another is dizzying, and criticizing thosethey think are bad reformers is like fighting "bad guys" in theCultural Revolution. I also found that those who were mean on healthimprovement did not accept the truth of the Prophets, and even if they didaccept the truth, most of them were eliminated in the middle. It is these whohave become the greatest enemies of the truth of the Prophets. It is thesemodern Pharisees who slander us and report us.
I give theseexamples not to say no to health improvement, but to warn you that the presentAdventist and apostasyEleventh Hour churches have corrupted health improvement. Theyelevate the stale message of health improvement above the truth of theProphets, and keep these ignorant people busy with the dogma of how to behealthy. This is Satan's way of moving the tiger from the mountain — away fromthe high mountain of truth (the truth of the prophets) — so that sin cannot beblotted out and people lose sight of the truth. Even with an empty skin (aseemingly healthy body), he cannot be saved.[Lk17:17]Did not I cleanseten men?Where are the nine?That is to say,Jesus (the truth of the Prophets) came, and many followed, but nine of themcame to healing superficially, and only one of them really needed Jesus andfollowed him to the end. And the Last Revival church with the supreme Truth was that one, and all theother churches became the other nine.
Satan is verycunning.When he knew that the messiah, Jesus was born, will make the Jewish chief priests are focus on written code law misused theJewish people, give them additional terms, many people of themby these rules, overwhelmed, timid, too busy to pay attention to the messiahcomes omens, that Jesus came they don't know him, refused to him, crucify him,eventually lead to the ruin of the jewish Jerusalem (70 AD).
At the end of thesecond coming, Satan did the same thing again, so that the chosen church, theAdventist Church, would show the same spirit as the Jewish chief priests at thefirst coming of Christ. The rules of the Adventist church are embodied in therigid improvement of diet. They tried to use the health improvement law of Ellen Wyre to deal with Satan's strategy of constantly changing course, but it wasjust like drinking poison to quench thirst. And they ignore the more importantmessage — the truth of the Prophets, the judgment of the living, and thecleansing of SINS — so that they will repeat the tragedy of the Jews!
Now let me give youan example of whether eating modified extremism is good or bad for us! It wasthe summer of 2014, and The Light of Life was holding a sermon in Shanghai,attended by people from all over the country. I went, too. I had a slightcough, but I didn't take it seriously. Because according to my usual habit, ifI have a cold, I will get well by drinking more water and exercising more. Inany case, it usually takes 7-10 days to heal. This is my own experience. Butthere was an X sister who knew me and was very enthusiastic, and she wanted touse her great improvement skills to heal me. It was a gracious invitation, butI obeyed. She told me not to eat, but to take turns squeezing white radish andred radish juice for me, three times a day. After I drank it, my cough gotworse and worse. I couldn't even speak — I was out of breath. I was so badthat I couldn't go to the lecture because I couldn't cough a lot during themeeting, so I spent the last three days (seven days) in a hotel bed.In heropinion, I can't cure because my body has too many toxins, and I have tocontinue to detoxify, and I have to continue to drink vegetable juice, fruitjuice. I willflush the poison out and stop coughing. Onthe way home on the last day, I even coughed up my blood. I was so scared thatI was really "out of my mind". I thought I was over this time andmight die. Silently I asked the Lord for help.Because I hadtuberculosis when I was 16 or 17 years younger, and it took me years to cure it(I took a year off from school in high school) until I was vomiting blood. Iknow the horror of tuberculosis. I suspect I've had a relapse!
But at the worst,there was always a belief that supported me: "It will heal," not tothe worst. This is the fruit of faith! As Jesus always said, "Your faithhas saved you" (Matt. 9:22;Mk10:52)!So it is this time. The first thing I do when I get home isrest. Because there are many people in the hotel, several people live in oneroom.The space is small.The air conditioningall day long, and the air is not circulating.Everyone is always chatting,and the rest is not good.People will be tired.All these factorsmake the immune system decline. Additional that I always drink cool turnip juice made the bodymore empty. Because I am not the kind of very strong, overnourished, body toomuch toxin person, if blindly drink cold juice, do not eat, will empty thebody, naturally aggravate the condition.
So, When I gothome, I quickly adjusted my diet, paid attention to rest, made up for sleep. When I woke up the next day,not only did I stop coughing, but I recovered most of my energy immediately. Although I had a slight cough once in awhile, it completely disappeared after a day or two. So that no one in myfamily knew I had such a bad cold!
Not long after, thesister who helped me reform called me to tell me that her son (then just 20)had fainted once, and that she was still saying that her diet had not beenfully improved and that nutrition had not kept up. I wonder how nutrition cankeep up. Her family is very rich. She has all kinds of vegetarian materials.She is very familiar with Ellen’s cooking methods.How canmainutrition occur? Is it overcorrecting?
The sister tried toimprove her diet, but she refused to accept the Prophets. I had been on goodterms with her, and had taken the pleasure of driving to her house to tell herthe truth of the Prophets; but,as if she were at enmity with the the prophets, shehad no hesitation in refusing.Then she even blocked me from WeChat, treating melike a plague. It is said that she is now specializing in diet improvement and should become the expert of diet improvement! I'm not tryingto discredit the research on dietary reform, but I'm warning people that abandoning the Prophets for dietary reform would be likeleaving your body with your sawed hands and waving them in the air in a finalstruggle.
The other day, abrother read my article on health improvement and got a little annoyed. He saidyou should stop talking about health improvement. Now those people in theAdventist church have gone too far in improving their diet. They don't havemuch to say, they just talk about this old thing every day. There is a sisterto drink wheat grass juice to drink almost die, the body is getting worse andworse. They are slaves to dietary reform, and there is no way out!
Yes, Jesus came toset men free and to set free those who were enslaved. Today Jesus is hereagain, to set free sinners for all the world and to set free those who arebound. I hope that we do not become slaves of all modern institutions, and donot become slaves of dietary reform. Have your own ideas!
Therefore, in theimprovement of diet we should also keep pace with The Times, according to localconditions, vary from person to person, not according to the American dietarystandards more than 160, 70 years ago to set, otherwise it will becounterproductive. For example, is the treatment the same for an obese patientwith high blood pressure and a skinny stomach cancer patient? It is effectiveto drink wheat grass juice for obese patients to help them lose weight andscrape oil. And a weak stomach cancer patient you give him a long time to drinkcold things will certainly worsen. The diet of an old man is different fromthat of a young and strong man, and the diet of a physically active man isdifferent from that of a sedentary man… These differences also show up indifferent regions, climates and so on. But the general direction of Ellen’s advice is the same. Atleast we should abstain from the fiery foods (tobacco, alcohol, spicy, Fried,greasy meat) that stimulate the blood to boil. And the way of food cooking also affects your health. Use cooking and wateras much as possible.
From my personalexperience, my simple advice on diet is: light should not be salty, freshshould not be old, vegetarian should not be meat, should not be full. It'spersistence and discipline that counts. It must be very helpful!
Of course, ourhealth needs a combination of eight factors to maintain. It is only when ourhealth improvements are made in the trust of God that what we do will have aneffect. Concrete implementation still depends on each person oneself toexperience, go pondering, go grasping. Just as Ellen Wyre said: This workneeds everyone to experience and make it.Others can't helpyou, just like I coughed last time. You are your own best doctor.
We can only be aproponent of health improvement, not a harsh taskmaster. We can only give you ageneral direction, the rest of the way is to rely on their own to grasp, toexperience, to constrain. Today, of course, the best food is organic, and whenwe can't get it, let's make it tasty and healthy by cooking it in thehealthiest way possible! As Ellen Wyre said:
Those who know the laws of health and are guided by them do not go toextremes of indulgence or excessive restraint. They choose their food not onlyfor their appetite, but also for their health. They try to keep every functionin the best condition in order to serve God and man best. Their appetite isgoverned by conscience and reason. Their reward is physical and mental health.They did not impose their views on others, but their example was a usefultestimony to the right principles. Such people have a wide range of goodinfluences.{MH319.1}
This tells us thatabstinence is very important. God recompense physical and mental health tothose who abstain from eating and disciplining themselves. This influence isnot achieved by imposing dietary improvements on others, but by the example ofour physical and mental health that bears witness to and persuasively improveshealth.
Healthimprovement, Ellen said, if wisely, must be a tool to open doors,where the truth can succeed spectacularly.However, theunwise introduction of health improvements as the main substance of the messagecan lead to the prejudice of the unbelievers,stand in the way of the truth, and givethe impression that we are extremists. The Lord wants us to be clever and wise about what his will is. Wemust not give people the opportunity to think that we are extremists. This putsus and the truth God has given us to preach to all at agreat disadvantage.By interweaving our unsanctified selves in it, we turn intostumbling blocks what we are always about to bring up as a blessing. {3 SM 285.3} [10]
Health improvementis only our means (tool) to spread the truth, not the main idea. Healthimprovement is just for the main substance .If we reverse thepriorities, we fall into the Judeist and Pharisaic spirit and present ourselves asextremists, which stands in the way of truth (The Prophets).
We need to knowwhat our purpose is. The promotion of the Prophets is the end and healthimprovement is the means (tool). If health improvement cannot do this, what isthe need for it? Because people who don't believe are doing better than we are,vegetarians and environmentalists are everywhere. But can they be saved?Message away from the Judgment of the living – The Truth of the Prophets, evenif you have survived the seven plagues, you will be destroyed in the glory ofJesus' second coming. As a result, all the health improvements made by theAdventist and the apostasy Eleventh Hour churches are of nosignificance or value, and are no different from those made by vegetarians!
Paul once said,[Ro14:3-6] "The manwho eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man whodoes not eat everything must not condemn the man who does,for God has acceptedhim…… He that eats meat, eatsto the Lord, because he gives thanks to God. And he that eats not, eats not for the Lord, and gives thanks to God.
Some people who accept the truth will ask me for my opinion with thispassage, and my reply is: We are saved by faith. Health improvement is alsoGod's light to us. It is God's message to the people in the future to deal with the plague. Weshould also believe, and faith is an expression of obedience to God. God alwaysprotects those who obey, like Noah and Lot. Everything in Paul's time wasavailable to eat was based on the circumstances and conditions of the time. Theenvironment we live in today is already a toxic environment that has beendestroyed, and the cleanliness of our food cannot be guaranteed. That's why Godgave us this light. The question now is not whether to improve health, but howto improve it. We just have to be different on this issue and not go toextremes.If you think there is no harm in eating anything, may your faith saveyou! And we don't judge everyone who has a different view of healthimprovement.
Today, through the Prophets, God raises our character to a higher andhigher level, to make us part of his character, so that we must not dealunwisely with any function of mind or body. Health improvement allows thereward of self-discipline to be physically manifested and witnessed for the Lord. If we abuse anyof the delicate organs of our bodies, we are punished for violating the laws ofnature. Let us therefore be temperate and restrained in all things, that we maybe perfect, as God the Father is perfect (Matt. 5:48). When Jesus comes again, our bodyand spirit will be in the best state to stand before him without fear. What joyand comfort!
May every son and daughter who accepts the truth fight the final battlefor their own health. Amen!
