D.L. Moody quotes

Dwight Lyman Moody (February 5, 1837 – December 22, 1899), also known as D.L. Moody, was an American evangelist and publisher who founded the Moody Church, Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts (now Northfield Mount Hermon School), the Moody Bible Institute and Moody Publishers.






His Quotes on Law and Grace:

The Law was given by Moses.
Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

The Law says—This do, and thou shalt live.
Grace says—Live, and then thou shalt do.

The Law says—Pay me that thou owest.
Grace says—I frankly forgive thee all.

The Law says—The wages of sin is death.
GRACE says—The gift of God is eternal life.

The Law says—The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Grace says—Whosoever believeth in Jesus, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in Him shall never die.

The Law pronounces—Condemnation and death.
Grace proclaims—Justification and life.

The Law says—Make you a new heart and a new spirit.
Grace says—A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.

The Law says—Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Grace says—Blessed is the man whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sin is covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute iniquity.

The Law says—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
Grace says—Herein is love: not that we love God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

The Law speaks of what man must do for God.
Grace tells of what Christ has done for man.

The Law addresses man as part of the old creation.
Grace makes a man a member of the new creation.

The Law bears on a nature prone to disobedience.
Grace creates a nature inclined to obedience.

The Law demands obedience by the terror of the Lord.
Grace beseeches men by the mercies of God.

The Law demands holiness.
Grace gives holiness.

The Law says—Condemn him.
Grace says—Embrace him.

The Law speaks of priestly sacrifices offered year by year continually, which could never make the comers thereunto perfect.
Grace says—But this Man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever - by one offering hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.

The Law declares—That as many as have sinned in the Law, shall be judged by the Law.
Grace brings eternal peace to the troubled soul of every child of God, and proclaims God’s salvation in defiance of the accusations of the adversary. “He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment (condemnation), but is passed from death unto life.”

Do you look to Jesus as your Healer; or your doctor?

Consider this, that the next time you go to see a doctor. Are you going because you look to Jesus as your Healer or are you going to the doctor because it is normal for you to do so. I did not mean that you cannot go to the doctor, but who do you look to as your Healer.

King Asa had a disease which can be easily healed by God. There is no Incurable Diseases with God. But he chose to look to physicians instead.

2Ch 16:12  And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
 
What happened to King Asa? He died in his disease.

Not all physicians/doctors are helping to heal your body. In fact, some doctors actually cause more sufferings and no easing of pain.

This woman in Mark 5:25 – suffered under the hand of doctors. And I thought that doctors are supposed to either help to heal the sick or at least alleviate the pain. But no, these doctors actually caused the woman to suffer more.

Mar 5:25  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
Mar 5:26  And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
 
So maybe, you are thinking, that these things only happen in the Bible days for King Asa and the woman with the hemorrhage.

Well, it may shock you to know that in 2000, doctors were contributing  to the deaths of patients to the tune of 225,000 per year in America. This is reported in the American Medical Association (association for American doctors).


ALL THESE ARE DEATHS PER YEAR:

• 12,000 -- unnecessary surgery
• 7,000 -- medication errors in hospitals
• 20,000 -- other errors in hospitals
• 80,000 -- infections in hospitals
• 106,000 -- non-error, negative effects of drugs 

(Read the Report Here: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/07/30/doctors-death-part-one.aspx )

A newer report in 2008 reveals that Medical Mistakes made by doctors are killing 100,000 Americans a year.

(Note: and we know that America is exporting Western Medicine throughout the whole world).

(Read it Here: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/01/02/medical-mistakes-part-three.aspx )

The next time you are not well, and your mind instantly switch to go to the doctor, Please switch your mind to instantly go to Jesus, our Great Healer.

Modern Medicine only began about 100+ years ago. Jesus began Healing his creation (you and me) every since creation began.

************************************************************

I dedicate this post to a friend of mind who lost his son because the doctors from the well-known private hospital killed him.

The boy was a happy, energetic teenager, who had headaches one in a while. The father took him to see several specialists, who prescribed several cocktail of medicine during different periods of time.

Those medication not only increased his headaches  but gave  him epileptic convulsions, migraines, and left him almost like a vegetable. He died eventually.

The father calls those doctors “salesmen for pharmaceutical companies” after he had spent so much of time and money, and eventually they killed his son.

Note: My family almost suffered similar fate, if without the intervention of my Heavenly Father.

野地的花 Flowers In The Wilderness

Chinese Song: Flowers in the Wilderness (or Flowers in the Fields)

This is a beautiful song about the Love and Grace of God.

This is one of those old beautiful chinese songs that touched my heart everytime it is sung.

My 1st attempt in making Yoghurt

Today is my first attempt in making Home-made Yoghurt. Eureka !! It works…

WHAT IS YOGHURT?

 

Yoghurt is a form of lactic acid or fermented milk. It can be prepared from cow's milk, goat's milk or Soya milk, with Yogourmet starter which contains friendly bacteria (L. Bulgaricus, S.Thermophilus, L. Acidophilus). Yoghurt has been used since Biblical times as a food and to eradicate intestinal putrefaction and autointoxication. The Newlife Yoghurt Maker features precise automatic temperature control throughout the fermentation process, ensuring quality yoghurt every time.

 

 

BENEFITS OF YOGHURT

 

• Rich in predigested protein and easily assimilated calcium and other minerals.
• Beneficial in relieving constipation. Clears up symptoms of colitis and bowel diseases, fights urinary tract infection, bladder infection, anemia, hormonal imbalance and skin problems.
• Aids the body in the manufacturing of the B Vitamins.
• Resolves bad breath, gas and indigestion.
  If yoghurt should cause temporary intestinal gas, it is an indication that the body's need for it is great. The beneficial bacteria of yoghurt is waging war with the health - destroying bacteria already residing there. Discomforts disappear when the beneficial bacteria multiply sufficiently.
• Restores the intestinal floral (friendly bacteria) destroyed by antibiotic therapy and meat eating.
• Effective in controlling antibiotic induced gastrointestinal symptoms, e.g. diarrhea.
• It has bactericidal value.
  An eight oz jar of yoghurt has an antibiotic value equivalent to fourteen penicillin units. The most potent yoghurt for antibiotic factors is that which is 7 days old.
• Helpful in cases of Candida and vaginal yeast infection.
  · Helps cure anal itching.
• Yoghurt reduces cholesterol and thus risk for heart disease.
• Prevents Estrogen levels in women.
• Prevents osteoporosis and dental disease.
• Prevents "Tourista" - diarrhea experienced by the travellers as a result of foreign bacteria in the food and water.
• It strengthens the immune system.

Teaching health from a Heavenly perspective

Food for Thought

• Consuming one teaspoon of refined sugar will suppress your immune system by fifty percent for one hour. Americans consume more sugar per capita than any other country

• There is little to no nutrition in cooked food

• Chocolate contains rat poison and other toxic chemicals

• Caffeine is a drug

• The average can of soda pop contains eleven teaspoons of sugar

• Seventy to eighty percent of Americans are constipated because they eat a fiberless diet that consists of refined foods, i.e. white flour, white flour products, refined sugar, salt and deadfood

• Ninety four percent of your body's nutritional need is oxygen

• Most diseases are nutritionally-based, i.e. they are the result of poor nutrition

• Most medical doctors are not trained in the knowledge of nutrition

• More Americans die annually at the hands of medical professionals (doctors) than in automobile accidents

• Aspartame (an artificial sweetener commonly found in diet sodas and other processed foods) contains wood alcohol

• MSG (mono sodium glutamate) is a neuro-toxic drug that is added to nearly all processed foods

• One of the leading causes of osteoporosis is the consumption of dairy products

• Growth hormones in meat and dairy products are one of the primary causes of breast cancer and incidence of early puberty in children

• The word 'sorceries' in Revelation 12:18 is the word 'pharmakea' in the original Greek from which our English word 'pharmacy' is derived

• Margarine is only one molecule away from that of plastic

Dangers of a high protein diet

 

 

 

Friends, I have been a vegan for twenty five years. I learned about the dangers of meat eating while research-ing the best diet to feed my firstborn daughter, Giana. I had tried so many diets over the years, since I owned two health food stores in California, and competed in bodybuilding. There were many high protein diets and shakes that I consumed in my hopes of packing on more muscle and size.

       The Atkins High Protein Diet was already popular when I bought my first health food store, Artesian Health Foods II, in Tracy, CA. I remember his book, The Diet Revolution, that was advocating a diet mostly from high-protein foods like beef, chicken, luncheon meats, cheese, and dairy products, and low amounts of carbohydrates. 
       The Cambridge and Beverly Hills Diet were two more popular high-protein diets that came in easy-to-make shakes. Some were marketed as meal replacements. The high-protein craze started gaining momentum even earlier when Charles Atlas advertisements graced magazines. The cartoon-like sketch depicted a puny guy named Charles relaxing on the beach with his girlfriend, when a big bully harasses the two of them and kicked sand in his face. Charles Atlas is then shown beefing-up with weights, and after putting on pounds of solid muscle, he returns later and defends his girlfriend from the bully by punching him in the face. Young men were sold that protein makes you big, strong, and very tough.

       Then everyone remembers Steve Reeves, who played the role of the first Hercules, clad with amazing pecs and biceps. Then came Arnold Schwarz-enegger, 7-time Mr. Olympia, and considered the greatest bodybuider of all time. I remember the time I drove to L.A. just to meet him and watch him workout. I couldn't take my eyes off his his 22-inch arms. I remember saying, "His arm is bigger than my head."

       Protein, protein, protein was the chant from the Weider Brothers who published the ever-popular Muscle Magazine. Athletes, and want-a-be bodybuilders, were drinking protein shakes like the stuff was water. Even the average Joe knew protein builds big muscles, right? But at what cost?

       Then came the kidney stones and other kidney diseases due to an excess of animal protein and acid forming food. And don't be fooled when your doctor says your kidney test reveals that your creatine levels are high. I have learned that the kidneys may be trying to filter out the excess creatine. The doctor will recommend that you eat more protein, thus compounding the problem.

       More cancers in all the major organs of the body, especially the reproductive organs, soon followed. All reproductive and other female organs were effected - the prostate, testicles, breast, ovaries, and uterus - because  animal protein, like saturated fat and estrogen, fuel cancer!

       T.Colin Campbell, Ph.D. from Cornell University, proved this in the largest epidemiological study ever done on diet and disease. He learned that the Chinese, living in rural China, consume only 10% of their calories from animal protein, in comparison, Americas eat as much as 70% of their calories from animal protein. Charlotte Gerson taught me that animal protein causes tumors to grow, especially casein from dairy products.

       Dr. T. Colin Campbell published his findings in his bestseller, The China Study, a book I consider to be the most important book on the subject of diet and disease.

        From all the information I had studied on the subject of diet and disease, I knew, and had warned the people listening to my weekly radio program for 12 years called Healthline, that the day would come when Americans would learn that animal protein, not animal fat, is the number one carcinogen in the United States.

       Who would have thought that the meat and dairy you consume is causing and feeding cancer in the human body? And forget about hormone-free animal meat. Hormone-free meats are still too high in animal protein.

       I want to thank Dr. T. Colin Campbell for speaking at two of Modern Manna Health and healing Crusades, and warning the thousands that attended that an animal-based diet can cause cancer and many other diseases like osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and kidney disease. On the other hand, the diet God gave us in the beginning, a whole plant-based diet, protects us from the ravages of cancer and other chronic diseases.

Are pharmaceutical drugs the answer to your health problems?

 

 

I received a call from a retired Dentist named Joe this morning who asked if I would write about the dangers of drugs. He specifically pointed to Revelation 18:23, 24: And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

 

In the Greek, the word for sorceries is pharmakeia, which means, according to Strong's Concordance, "medication (pharmacy), magic, sorcery, witchcraft."

 

I have been in natural medicine and alternative health for over 25 years. I am not going to argue whether a person should take a drug for an emergency crisis or anaesthesia before surgery, but I will argue the wholesale marketing of drugs, the deaths and damage caused by many prescription drugs, and the huge profits raked in by the pharmaceutical drug cartels.

 

I have sat across many chemotherapy patients and listened to their shocking, horror stories regarding failed cancer treatments. The sad look in their faces after the chemotherapy and radiation had failed again! Here are some of the statements I often hear from the victims: "The doctor's sounded so hopeful, and I believed him;" "He said he had clear margins after my lumpectomy, why is the cancer back;" "If I had known what my arm would feel like I would have never had the lymph nodes removed;" or "If you don't take the chemotherapy you will die." 

 

Last week, I spoke to a doctor who was looking for alternative treatment centers for his nephew who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He admitted that modern-medicine offers little, if any, hope for his nephew's case. When the patient's wife asked the oncologist about alternative therapies as a possible treatment protocol, the doctor turned red in his face and blurted out, "They don't work." It reminded me of my discussion with the doctor at 3ABN after I was cancelled for quoting Dr. Max Gerson and other natural healers, and my promoting colon cleansing. "There is no scientific proof to support these people," he said. "There is no science to colon cleansing."

 

But there is proof that many drugs have caused many deaths in America. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the third leading cause of death in this country are drugs and doctors. Iatrogenic induced death means the doctors and drugs were the cause. Charlotte Gerson once said, "More people are dying from the side-effects of the medications than from the disease itself."

 

Here are the dismal figures: 12,000 unnecessary surgeries; 7,000 medication errors in hospitals; 20,000 other errors in hospitals; 80,000 infections in hospitals; and 106,000 non-error, negative effects of drugs! 

How many reports need to be published that verify FDA-approved drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex cause heart attacks and strokes? How many reports that statin drugs cause liver damage and cancer? How many reports on the contraindications of drugs, while the drug salesmen bring more gourmet lunches to the doctor's office in order to sell them their potions? The government wants to make flu shots in New Jersey mandatory before children are admitted to school. My Italian doctor once said, "In Italy, we do not believe in injecting germs into people."

 

"Drugs never cure disease; they only change its form and location. . . . When drugs are introduced into the system, for a time they seem to have a beneficial effect. A change may take place, but the disease is not cured. It will manifest itself in some other form. . . . The disease which the drug was given to cure may disappear, but only to reappear in a new form, such as skin diseases, ulcers, painful, diseased joints, and sometimes in a more dangerous and deadly form. . . . Nature keeps struggling, and the patient suffers with different ailments, until there is a sudden breaking down in her efforts, and death follows. Healthful Living, p. 243.

 

My goal is to educate people in healthful living and lifestyle practices. We should obey God's natural laws of health and to use nature's remedies when needed. Too many people run to the doctor and take prescription drugs before giving the body a chance to correct itself. The body was designed to heal itself. At least, make drugs a last, not first, resort. I have to agree with the Lord, that most drugs are nothing more than modern-day sorceries or witch's brew and the wholesale market of dangerous prescriptions constitutes part of the deceptions of the last days. Let Revelation speak!

Health Tips for Preventing Disease and Strengthening Your Immune System

 

The following article by Danny Vierra has blessed me a lot:

I hope you be blessed as well:

 

 

Friends, there are a number of healthful principles you can follow to build your immune system and prevent disease. I have found when these principles are put into practice, many of the modern-day diseases that plague people begin to even reverse. I have witnessed chronic diseases like hypertension, Type II diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disease start healing as the body turns more alkaline and balances. Through cleansing and detoxifying flushes, eating natural, organic foods that are in the form closest to the Creator's design, and drinking pure water free of chemical additives like fluorine and chlorine, the body can begin to heal itself!

 

Please read the following list carefully and enjoy the blessings that come when we become doers of the word. Remember, practice the health laws yourself, and then preach them to others.

 

• Eat a whole plant-based diet with lots of organic fruits and vegetables.

 

• Avoid dairy products. Dairy is liquid meat, and any disease in the animal is most likely also in its secretions. Milk is the number-one cause of childhood anemia and allergy. I remember the late Dr. Vigil Hulse once told me that as a Milk and Dairy inspector for 13 years in California, he found 80% of the herds had cows with leukemia and 50% of the herds had cows with Bovine AIDS. This was in the county in which I live. Milk Does A Body Good?

 

• Avoid refined sugar, white flour, and ordinary salt or sea salt. Instead choose Celtic Salt since it contains 80 minerals, not just Sodium Chloride. Celtic Salt is grey because of the magnesium which can lower blood pressure. White table salt has the magnesium removed and it is sold for things like gunpowder. Real Salt is another choice.

 

• Exercise at least five days a week. I enjoy racquetball and weightlifting. This gives me the combination of aerobic exercise like racquetball for my heart and circulation and anaerobic exercise like weightlifting for building bone density, strength, and toning the muscles. Both forms of exercise are good and necessary for eliminating toxins through the lymph system.

 

• Increase your consumption of pure water and drink 6 to 8 glasses a day.

 

• Start drinking some fresh organic juice everyday if possible. Carrot, apple, celery, chard and parsley is a great immune-building formula that is high in potassium and phytochemicals.

 

• Cleanse your elimination organs on a seasonal basis. Cleanse the colon, liver, kidney, lung, blood, lymph and skin using organic herbal formulas, saunas, skin brushing, etc.

 

• Have a positive attitude and get moving if you feel depressed. Doing something for someone else that has a need will help heal your own discouragement.

 

• Breathe deeply several times a day of fresh air. Take a walk in the open air.

 

• Get 30 minutes of sunshine every day if possible.

 

• Trust in God, spend time in prayer, and study your Bible every day.

 

• Love your enemies and forgive those that have wronged you. Forgiveness is the key to freedom. Don't delay since Christ is coming soon!

Self detoxification using garlic

 

 

This came from a business friend:

 

Before you go to bed at night, prepare this magic potion:

Finely chop or use the food blender to chop up two cloves of fresh garlic and let it expose to the air for a few minutes while you wash up your blender or chopping board.
The chopping releases the enzyme allinase in the garlic. Gather the chopped garlic on a spoon and swallow it with water.
The garlic will travel your entire digestive tract while you sleep and scavenge and neutralize all the toxins, carcinogens, harmful bacteria, fungi, viruses, foreign chemical before they can harm your healthy cells.

Swallowing the chopped garlic will not give you garlic breath, as long as you don't chew it. You brush your teeth and rinse your mouth before you go to bed anyway.

In the morning, drink a big glass of water. Your first bowel movement will have a strong garlic odor and you will know that the harmful stuff have been eliminated from your body. Try it, especially if you have had a bad
eating day.

Go Bananas

 

 

This was circulated by Andy:

 

BANANAS - very interesting

A professor at CCNY  for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas.  He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of  bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your  banana in the refrigerator!

This is  interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a  banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three  natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with  fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial  boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas  provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No  wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's  leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a  banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or  prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions,  making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:

According to a recent  survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from  depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This  is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that  the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax,  improve your mood and generally make you feel  happier.

PMS:

Forget the pills - eat a banana. The  vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which  can affect your mood..

Anemia:

High in iron, bananas can stimulate the  production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of  anemia.

Blood Pressure:

This unique tropical fruit is extremely  high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat  blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration  has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims  for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure  and stroke.

Brain Power:

200 students at a  Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through  their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break,  and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has  shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by  making pupils more alert.

Constipation:

High in fiber, including  bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action,  helping to overcome the problem without resorting to  laxatives.

Hangovers:

One of the quickest ways of curing a  hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.  The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey,  builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes  and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn:

Bananas have a natural  antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn,  try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:

Snacking on bananas between  meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning  sickness.

Mosquito bites:

Before reaching for the insect bite  cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a  banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at  reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:

Bananas are high in B  vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work?

Studies at the   Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work  leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips.  Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most  obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report  concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need  to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high  carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels  steady.

Ulcers:

The banana is used as the dietary food  against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and  smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without  distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes  over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of  the stomach.

Temperature control:

Many other cultures see  bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical  and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand ,  for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby  is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective  Disorder (SAD):

Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain  the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking & Tobacco  Use: 

Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The  B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium  found in them, help the body recover from the effects of  nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:

Potassium is a vital mineral, which  helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and  regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our  metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.  These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium  banana snack.

Strokes:

According to research in The New England  Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet  can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as  40%!

Warts:

Those keen on natural alternatives swear  that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana  skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out.  Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical  tape!

So, a banana really is a natural  remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has  four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times  the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice  the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium  and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to  change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day  keeps the doctor away!'

10 Foods You Don't Have to Buy Organic

 

The following was circulated by KP Loh:

 

 

These Fruits and Vegetables Don't Hold on to So Many Pesticides, So You Can Save Your Organic Dollars for the Ones That Do.

Asparagus

Asparagus face fewer threats from pests such as insects or disease, so fewer pesticides need to be used.

Choose: Look for firm spears with bright green or purplish compact tips. Plan on a 1/2 pound per person, and for more uniform cooking, select spears of a similar thickness. Store in the refrigerator vegetable crisper and give them a good rinse before using (even if you're going to boil them).

Avocados

Avocados have thick skins that protect the fruit from pesticide build-up.

Choose: Look for avocados that are still somewhat unripe and firm to the squeeze; they'll ripen nicely on your kitchen counter in a couple of days. Store at room temperature. Although you'll be using only the meat of the avocado, it's always a good idea to rinse them before you slice them open.

Bananas

Pesticide residue remains on the banana peel, which isn't eaten.

Choose: There are basically 3 stages to a ripening banana. You'll want to choose them according to how you're going to use them. Chosen green, where the peel is pale yellow and the tips are green, their taste will be somewhat tart. These work best for frying or baking in a pie. Chosen at their next stage of ripeness, where the peel is mostly all yellow, the pulp will still be firm but their starch content will have started to turn to sugar. These also work well in pies and tarts. In the last stage of ripeness, the skins will show signs of brown spots with the peel a deeper yellow color. This is when they're sweetest and work well mashed and added to baked goods like banana bread recipes. Store at room temperature. If they're unripe, you can place them in a brown paper bag to ripen. Give the bananas a quick rinse and dry before you peel them.

Broccoli

Conventional broccoli doesn't retain so many pesticides because the crop faces fewer pest threats, which means less spraying.

Choose: Look for tightly bunched flower buds on the broccoli stalks that are immature. In other words, try not to buy them if their little yellow flowers have opened. Color-wise, the broccoli should be deep green and the stalks should be firm and not rubbery. Before use, wash in a cool water bath and change the water a couple of times in the process. Store in the refrigerator crisper.

Cabbage

Cabbage doesn't hold on to so many pesticides because a ton of spraying isn't required to grow it.

Choose: Look for cabbage heads whose leaves are tight and be sure the head is heavy for its type, and firm. For most cabbage varieties, you'll want to make sure the outer leaves are shiny and crisp. Savoy is the exception to this rule, as it forms a looser head and the leaves grow crinkly naturally. You'll want to avoid any with leaves that show signs of yellowing. Bok choy should have deep green leaves with their stems a crisp-looking white. Discard the outer leaves of a cabbage before using. You can wash and spin most cabbage leaves just like you do salad greens. Store in the refrigerator crisper.

Kiwi Fruit

Kiwi peel provides a barrier from pesticides. Give them a rinse before cutting.

Choose: Here's where your nose plays an important part when choosing fresh fruit. Sniff out kiwis that smell good. They should be plump and yield to a squeeze like that of a ripe pear. Steer clear from those with moist areas on their surface or any skin bruising. If unripe kiwi are all that are available, simply take them home and place them in a paper bag at room temperature with other fruits that need more time, such as bananas or pears. Store in the refrigerator crisper.

Mango

Sweet mango flesh is protected by its thick skin from pesticides. Still, you'll want to rinse under water before cutting open.

Choose: Depending on the variety of melon, look for those that are bright in color such as red, yellow, or orange. It should have a distinctive "fruity" smell. If there's no ripe-fruit aroma, steer clear. Mangoes should be slightly firm but yield to your touch somewhat -- the softer the mango, usually the sweeter it is. If the mango is too soft, there's a good chance that it will be rotten inside. Store in the refrigerator crisper.

Onions

Onions don't see as many pest threats, which means less pesticide spraying.

Choose: Look for onions that are firm, have a distinctive "oniony" smell that's not overpowering, and show no visible signs of damage or soft spots. Store in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator.

Papaya

Pesticide residue stays on papaya skin, but be sure to give them a wash before slicing open.

Choose: Papaya colors usually range between yellow and green. Look for those that are slightly soft and show no signs of bruising or appear shriveled. If they're not fully ripened, you can toss them in the brown bag along with your unripened kiwi fruit, peaches, and pears. Once they're ripened, store in the refrigerator crisper.

Pineapples

You won't be eating the tough pineapple skin, which protects the fruit from pesticide residue. As with all your produce, you should rinse the pineapple before cutting.

Choose: Although tempting, this is one fruit that you won't want to choose if it has a strong, sweet smell. This usually means that the pineapple is overripe and has even begun to ferment. Like all other fruits, avoid any that have soft spots, and in the case of pineapples, damage to the rind. Store in the refrigerator crisper.

Ten Reasons Not To Use Microwave Oven

 

 

The following was  passed to me: worth taking note.

It can be scary considering the extent that microwave has penetrated into our lives.

 

Read and be knowledgeable, then act on the knowledge.

God said in Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”

  

 

I have known for years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about. It's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it. So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast.

Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these 'Safe' appliances.

What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed them when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it's safe. But proof is in the pictures of living plants dying.

FORENSIC RESEARCH DOCUMENT
Prepared By: William P. Kopp
A. R. E. C. Research Operations
TO61-7R10/10-77F05
RELEASE PRIORITY: CLASS I ROO1a

 

From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens.

Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following:

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by 'shorting out' electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America .

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet? After you throw out your microwave, you can use a toaster oven as a replacement. It works well for most and is nearly as quick.

The use of artificial microwave transmissions for subliminal psychological control, a.k.a. 'brainwashing', has also been proven. We're attempting to obtain copies of the 1970's Russian research documents and results written by Drs. Luria and Perov specifying their clinical experiments in this area.

Phoebe Palmer on faith

 

 

Phoebe Palmer lived during the period of 1807 – 1874. She was a great woman of faith and many of her ideas of faith were passed down to other ministers who benefited from her teachings.

 

This is what she said:

 

There are laws which govern God’s “moral universe” just as there are laws governing the physical universe. This structure of moral or spiritual cause and effect is revealed primarily in the Bible… If one understands these laws and acts in accordance with them, it is certain that the designated means will achieve the desired ends… Faith’s “effects must of necessity follow, because the principles by which the kingdom of grace is governed are unchangeable.”

Phoebe Palmer (1807 –1874)

 

You can learn more about her by adding her as your “friend” at facebook.com. I believe one of her fans is maintaining the group.

The experience of EW Kenyon concerning righteousness

 

EW Kenyon discovered that he is righteous and no longer had to perform even as a Christian to earn the favor and blessing of God. He had a similar experience to that of Martin Luther who uncovered “justification by faith alone”. Here is what he said in his diary:

 

Strange, I had never noticed it before. God Himself was to become my Righteousness the moment that I accepted Christ and confessed Him as my Lord. Then I remembered Romans 10:10, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Then 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” I couldn’t believe it at first. I struggled for days and days on this scripture. I knew that if I became the righteousness of God in Christ that I would never again depend on experiences. I had arrived. The thing that my heart had craved was here, but it would never become real to me until I confessed it before the world.

That Sunday morning, when I dared to say, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ,” was when I experienced what it meant. A strange quietness filled my whole being. A joy that I had never before experienced, filled my heart.

EW Kenyon Doctrinal Statement in 1899

 

In 1899, a man of God by the name of EW Kenyon made a bold doctrinal stand for his Christian beliefs. You need to understand that the majority of the Christian crowd at that time did not have the revelation of the Word like we have today. There was a lack of understanding about the work of the Holy Spirit and the grace of God, yet one man, Kenyon, made a stand.

 

Here is what he believe:

1. We insist that the Bible is the Word of God
2. Absolute obedience to the Word of God
3. That men live what they profess
4. We insist that men are saved body, soul, and spirit from sin but are not saved while in sin
5. That God will and does fulfill every promise in His Word, when we meet His requirements
6. That the God of Israel is the God of today, and does the same mighty works today that He did then
7. That Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that the same signs that followed the apostles, today follow those who believe.

 

Would you dare to believe in God’s Word even if it goes against the “grain”?
