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

Cause and Effect*

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

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

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.

Nutrition

​The free use of sugar in any form tends to clog the system, and is not unfrequently a cause of disease.

The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating.

The eating of flesh meats has made a poor quality of blood and flesh. Your systems are in a state of inflammation, prepared to take on disease. You are liable to acute attacks of disease, and to sudden death, because you do not possess the strength of constitution to rally and resist disease.

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.

Rich and complicated mixtures of food are health destroying. Highly seasoned meats and rich pastry are wearing out the digestive organs.

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

Exercise

The human body may be compared to nicely adjusted machinery, which needs care to keep it in running order. One part should not be subjected to constant wear and pressure, while another part is rusting from inaction. While the mind is taxed, the muscles also should have their proportion of exercise. Every person should learn how many hours may be spent in study, and how much time should be given to physical exercise.

Morning exercise, in walking in the free, invigorating air of heaven, or cultivating flowers, small fruits, and vegetables, is necessary to a healthful circulation of the blood. It is the surest safeguard against colds, coughs, congestions of the brain and lungs, inflammation of the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs, and a hundred other diseases.

Water

If anything is needed to quench thirst, pure water, drunk some little time before or after a meal, is all that nature requires.... Water is the best liquid possible to cleanse the tissues.
 
Taken with meals, water diminishes the flow of the salivary glands; and the colder the water the greater the injury to the stomach. Ice water, drunk with meals, will arrest digestion until the system has imparted sufficient warmth to the stomach to enable it to take up its work again.

If you feel that you must eat at night, take a drink of cold water, and in the morning you will feel much better for not having eaten.

Sunlight

​This is one of nature’s most healing agents.
 
If you would have your homes sweet and inviting, make them bright with air and sunshine, remove your heavy curtains, open the windows, throw back the blinds, and enjoy the rich sunlight, even if it be at the expense of the colours of your carpets.
 
Every room in our dwellings should be daily thrown open to the healthful rays of the sun, and the purifying air should be invited in. This will be a preventive of disease.

Exercise, and a free and abundant use of the air and sunlight, ... would give life and strength to the emaciated.

Temperance

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.

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.

Scanty, impoverished, ill-cooked food is constantly depraving the blood, by weakening the bloodmaking organs.

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.

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.

Stomach, liver, lungs, and brain are suffering for want of deep, full inspirations of air.

Rest

Nature will restore their vigor and strength in their sleeping hours, if her laws are not violated.
 
Those who make great exertions to accomplish just so much work in a given time, and continue to labor when their judgment tells them they should rest, are never gainers. They are living on borrowed capital. They are expending the vital force which they will need at a future time. And when the energy they have so recklessly used, is demanded, they fail for want of it. If all the hours of the day are well improved, the work extended into the evening is so much extra, and the overtaxed system will suffer from the burden imposed upon it. Those who do this often lose much more than they gain, for their energies are exhausted, and they labor on nervous excitement. They may not realize any immediate injury, but they are surely undermining their constitution.

Trust in God

​God designed that the living machinery should be in daily activity; for in this activity or motion is its preserving power.

Healthy, active exercise is what you need. This will invigorate the mind.
 
The proper use of their physical strength, as well as of the mental powers, will equalize the circulation of the blood, and keep every organ of the living machinery in running order.
Picture
The burden of sin,
with its unrest and unsatisfied desires,
lies at the very foundation of a large share of the maladies the sinner suffers.
 
Let all examine their own hearts,
to see if they are not cherishing that which is a positive injury to them,
and in the place of opening the door of the heart to let Jesus,
the Sun of Righteousness, in, are complaining of the dearth of the Spirit of God.
Let these search for their idols, and cast them out.
Let them cut away from every unhealthful indulgence in eating and drinking.
Let them bring their daily practise into harmony with nature’s laws.
By doing, as well as believing,
an atmosphere will be created about the soul that will be
​a savor of life unto life.

    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
