STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS

the temple

Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
KJV 1 Corinthians 6:19,20

There is a divinely appointed connection between
​sin and disease....
​Sin and disease bear to each other the relationship of
​cause and effect.

—Testimonies for the Church 5:443.

Disease never comes​ without a cause.
The way is first prepared, and disease invited
​by disregarding the laws of health.

—How to Live 5:70.

The majority of diseases which the human family
have been and are still suffering under,
have been created by ignorance of their own organic law.

—The Health Reformer, October 1, 1866.

Heredity

Many are suffering in consequence of the transgressions of their parents; they cannot be censured for their parents’ sins, but it is nevertheless their duty to ascertain wherein their parents violated the laws of their being; and wherein their parents’ habits were wrong, they should change their course, and place themselves, by correct habits, in a better relation to health.
—The Health Reformer, August 1, 1866.

Secret Vice

This vice is laying waste the constitution of very many, and preparing them for diseases of almost every description.
—A Solemn Appeal, 53.

The Condition of the Mind

That which brings sickness of body and mind to nearly all, is dissatisfied feelings and discontented repinings.
—Testimonies for the Church 1:566.
Nothing is so fruitful a cause of disease as depression, gloominess, and sadness.
—Testimonies for the Church 1:702.

Drugs

Drugging should be forever abandoned; for while it does not cure any malady, it enfeebles the system, making it more susceptible to disease.
—Testimonies for the Church 5:311.

Unhygienic Surroundings

Filth is a breeder of disease.
—The Review and Herald, February 4, 1896.
A neglect of cleanliness will induce disease.... Stubborn fevers and violent diseases have prevailed in neighborhoods and towns that had formerly been considered healthy, and some have died, while others have been left with broken constitutions to be crippled with disease for life. In many instances their own yards contained the agent of destruction, which sent forth deadly poisons into the atmosphere, to be inhaled by the family and the neighborhood.
—How to Live 4:61.

Impure Air

The effects produced by living in close, ill-ventilated rooms are these: The system becomes weak and unhealthy, the circulation is depressed, the blood moves sluggishly through the system because it is not purified and vitalized by the pure, invigorating air of heaven. The mind becomes depressed and gloomy, while the whole system is enervated; and fevers and other acute diseases are liable to be generated.... The system is peculiarly sensitive to the influence of cold. A slight exposure produces serious diseases.
—Testimonies for the Church 1:702.

Imperfect Breathing

Stomach, liver, lungs, and brain are suffering for want of deep, full inspirations of air.
—Testimonies for the Church 2:67.

​Indoor Life

Close confinement indoors makes women pale and feeble, and results in premature death.
—The Health Reformer, April 1, 1871.

Damp Rooms

Rooms that are not exposed to light and air become damp.... Various diseases have been brought on by sleeping in these fashionable health-destroying apartments.
—How to Live 4:62.

​Exposure to Cold

When we overtax our strength, and become exhausted, we are liable to take cold, and at such times there is danger of disease assuming a dangerous form.
—Testimonies for the Church 3:13.

Improper Clothing

In order to follow the fashions, mothers dress their children with limbs nearly naked; and the blood is chilled back from its natural course and thrown upon the internal organs, breaking up the circulation and producing disease.
—Testimonies for the Church 2:531.
Women especially are the victims of various maladies which might be lessened, if not entirely prevented, by right habits of life. Half their sufferings may be attributed to their manner of dress, and the insane desire to conform to the fashions of the world.
—The Health Reformer, February 1, 1877.

Improper Diet

Indulging in eating too frequently, and in too large quantities, overtaxes the digestive organs, and produces a feverish state of the system. The blood becomes impure, and then diseases of various kinds occur.
—Spiritual Gifts Volume 4a, 133.
It is the wrong habit of indulgence of appetite, and the careless, reckless inattention to the proper care of the body, that tells upon the people. Habits of cleanliness, and care in regard to that which is introduced into the mouth, should be observed.
—Unpublished Testimonies, July 10, 1896.

Overeating

What influence does overeating have upon the stomach? It becomes debilitated, the digestive organs are weakened, and disease, with all its train of evils, is brought on as the result.
—Testimonies for the Church 2:364.
And the dyspeptic—what has made him dyspeptic is taking this course. Instead of observing regularity, he has let appetite control him, and has eaten between meals.
—Testimonies for the Church 2:374.

Flesh Foods

The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating.
—Testimonies for the Church 2:64.
When we feed on flesh, the juices of what we eat pass into the circulation. A feverish condition is created, because the animals are diseased, and by partaking of their flesh, we plant the seeds of disease in our own tissue and blood. Then, when exposed to the changes in a malarious atmosphere, to prevailing epidemics and contagious diseases, these are more sensibly felt, for the system is not in a condition to resist disease.
—Unpublished Testimonies, November 5, 1896.
Their bodies are composed of what they eat. But when suffering and disease come upon them, it is considered an affliction of Providence.
—Testimonies for the Church 3:563.

Flesh Diet

The mortality caused by eating meat is not discerned.... Animals are diseased, and by partaking of their flesh we plant the seeds of disease in our own tissues and blood.
—Unpublished Testimonies, November 5, 1896.
The prevalence of cancers and tumors is largely due to gross living on dead flesh.
—Unpublished Testimonies, November 5, 1896.
The meat is served reeking with fat, because it suits the perverted taste. Both the blood and the fat of animals is consumed as a luxury. But the Lord has given special directions that these should not be eaten. Why? Because their use would make a diseased current of blood in the human system. Disregard of the Lord's special directions has brought a variety of difficulties and diseases upon human beings.... If they introduce into their system that which cannot make good flesh and blood, they must endure the results of the disregard of God's word.
—Unpublished Testimonies, March, 1896.

Simple grains, fruits, and vegetables
have all the nutrient properties necessary
to make good blood.
​This a flesh diet cannot do.

—Unpublished Testimonies, November 5, 1896.

    Testimony ~ chef lani sret

    To affect change, by the grace of God, believe and claim the promises in His Word.
    ​🍞  KJV Psalms 103:1-5
    Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
    Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
    Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
    Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
    Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
     
    🍞  KJV 1 John 5:14,15
    And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
    And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
     
    🍞  KJV Psalms 37:3-5
    Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
    Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
    Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
    Picture
    🍞  KJV Mark 11:24
    Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
     
    🍞  2 Corinthians 5:17
    Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
     
    On February 11th 2018, I bowed in repentance and with a contrite heart before my God.
    Uplifting my tearful plead for forgiveness and intense petition to be a vessel meet for His purpose, I prayed with thankfulness for opening my eyes to the truth.

    I was unaware of the path God had now set my feet upon  👣  Praise the Lord!
    Not only, as the verse says, “old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”, but He has given me new desires of my heart. [Ps 37:4]
    From one who before had absolutely no interest in time invested in cooking, from one who was bound by seemingly unconquerable attachments to particular foods, from one who though knowing the truth would indulge my lower passions and give in to appetite rather than exercise strength of will and control by exercising higher powers. From this such one.. comes this blog  💞  glory to God!
     
    Through this blog I hope to share the journey that God takes me on in exploring the ‘science above all other sciences’ - cooking! [MM270.6]
    As He leads me into new heights of health exploration, I pray you can join in to partake of the blessings also.
    And it is my prayer that He leads you in the most monumental blessings that make up the testimony of your own experience  🙏
     
    🍞  KJV Mark 11:22,23
    And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
    For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
     
    📚  It is for our own benefit to keep every gift of God fresh in our memory. Thus faith is strengthened to claim and to receive more and more. There is greater encouragement for us in the least blessing we ourselves receive from God than in all the accounts we can read of the faith and experience of others. The soul that responds to the grace of God shall be like a watered garden. His health shall spring forth speedily; his light shall rise in obscurity, and the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon him. Let us then remember the loving-kindness of the Lord, and the multitude of His tender mercies. Like the people of Israel, let us set up our stones of witness, and inscribe upon them the precious story of what God has wrought for us. And as we review His dealings with us in our pilgrimage, let us, out of hearts melted with gratitude, declare, “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people.” Psalm 116:12-14. DA 348.2
