“LOS ANGELES – It’s far from definitive proof, but new research raises concern about diet soda, finding higher risks for stroke and heart attack among people who drink it everyday versus those who drink no soda at all.

The beverage findings should be “a wakeup call to pay attention to diet sodas,” said Dr. Steven Greenberg. He is a Harvard Medical School neurologist and vice chairman of the International Stroke Conference in California, where the research was presented on Wednesday.

A simple solution, health experts say, is to drink water instead…Earlier studies have tied diet and regular soda consumption to greater risk of diabetes and a group of weight-related problems called the metabolic syndrome.” To read the whole article click here.

While the world does not follow understand the principles of the laws of health they are beginnging to more readily recognize and admit  that truly ” WATER DOES DO A BODY GOOD”

Notice how inspiration makes this plain without a doubt, “   Life in the open air is good for body and mind. It is God’s medicine for the restoration of health. Pure air, good water, sunshine, the beautiful surroundings of nature–these are His means for restoring the sick to health in natural ways. To the sick it is worth more than silver or gold to lie in the sunshine or in the shade of the trees.  {CH 166.3} 

Smoking hurts not only the smokers, but people around them, and taxes, bans and treatment all must be used together to help get smoking rates down, U.S. Surgeon-General Dr. Regina Benjamin said in a report on smoking.

“The chemicals in tobacco smoke reach your lungs quickly every time you inhale causing damage immediately,” Benjamin said in a statement.

“Inhaling even the smallest amount of tobacco smoke can also damage your DNA, which can lead to cancer.”

The report, available at http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/tobaccosmoke/index.html , also says tobacco companies have deliberately designed cigarettes and other tobacco products to be addictive and that they have released new tobacco products that are allegedly safer but that are in fact just as dangerous and addictive.

Benjamin said a third of people who ever try cigarettes become daily smokers. To read whole article click here

Will Smoke Pollution Be in Heaven?

   No! Heaven is a clean place. The Bible says Revelatin 21: 2, 27, “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband…And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Notice the following words from the pen of inspiration, “As I have seen men who claimed to enjoy the blessing of entire satisfaction, while they were slaves to tobacco, spitting and defiling everything around them, I have thought, How would heaven appear with tobacco users in it? The lips that were taking the precious name of Christ were defiled by tobacco spittle, the breath was polluted with the stench, and even the linen was defiled; the soul that loved this uncleanness and enjoyed this poisonous atmosphere must also be defiled. The sign was hung upon the outside, testifying of what was within.  {CH 83.1}

“Men professing godliness offer their bodies upon Satan’s altar, and burn the incense of tobacco to his satanic majesty. Does this statement seem severe? The offering must be presented to some deity. As God is pure and holy, and will accept nothing defiling in its character, He refuses this expensive, filthy, and unholy sacrifice; therefore we conclude that Satan is the one who claims the honor.  {CH 83.2}

There is freedom from the addicting, defiling habit of tobacco only in Jesus

 ”Jesus died to rescue man from the grasp of Satan. He came to set us free by the blood of His atoning sacrifice (John 8:32, 36). The man who has become the property of Jesus Christ, and whose body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, will not be enslaved by the pernicious habit of tobacco using. His powers belong to Christ, who has bought him with the price of blood. His property is the Lord’s. How, then, can he be guiltless in expending every day the Lord’s entrusted capital to gratify an appetite which has no foundation in nature? {CH 83.3}

Notice the fulfilling of prophecy when you listen to former President Bill Clinton; We are told in inspiration that many will see the benefit of a plant baised diet even from among those who are not Seventh-day Adventist.

“During the past night many things have been opened before me. The manufacture and sale of health foods will require careful and prayerful consideration.  {CD 267.2} 

     There are many minds in many places to whom the Lord will surely give knowledge of how to prepare foods that are healthful and palatable, if He sees that they will use this knowledge righteously. Animals are becoming more and more diseased, and it will not be long until animal food will be discarded by many besides Seventh-day Adventists(written 1902). Foods that are healthful and life sustaining are to be prepared, so that men and women will not need to eat meat.  {CD 267.3} 
     “The Lord will teach many in all parts of the world to combine fruits, grains, and vegetables into foods that will sustain life and will not bring disease. Those who have never seen the recipes for making the health foods now on the market, will work intelligently, experimenting with the food productions of the earth, and will be given light regarding the use of these productions. The Lord will show them what to do.  {CD 267.4} 

This plant based diet movement is being attributed to men and doctors but God would have it be understood as it really is, a Bible Based plan.

Oh, that God may awaken His people to be about their fathers business:

“Seventh-day Adventists are handling momentous truths. More than forty years ago the Lord gave us special light on health reform, but how are we walking in that light? How many have refused to live in harmony with the counsels of God! As a people, we should make advancement proportionate to the light received. It is our duty to understand and respect the principles of health reform. On the subject of temperance we should be in advance of all other people; and yet there are among us well-instructed members of the church, and even ministers of the gospel, who have little respect for the light that God has given upon this subject. They eat as they please, and work as they please.  {CD 24.2} 
     Let those who are teachers and leaders in our cause take their stand firmly on Bible ground in regard to health reform and give a straight testimony to those who believe we are living in the last days of this earth’s history. A line of distinction must be drawn between those who serve God, and those who serve themselves.  {CD 24.3}   (1909) 9T 158

Jesus Christ, the Creator of Man is very interested in our health and happiness!  In 3 John and verse two he says “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth.”  In His great love for man He came to earth to rescue man from disease, despair and death.  The Bible says in John 10:10 “…I have come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly”.  Christ wants to bring health life to you too!  He has always used His power to heal the sick by his word!  In His word are found the principles of health that will make His people healthy and full of life!

“…if thou diligently hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments….I will put none of these disease upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.”  Exodus 15:26

These Laws of Health (commandments) are found in the Bible God’s greatest health book :

GODLY TRUST                       Proverbs 3:5-8

OPEN AIR                               Genesis 2:7

DAILY EXERCISE                  Luke 13:33 (walking)

SUNLIGHT                             Eccl 11:7

PLENTY OF REST                   Exodus 20:8-11,  Psalms 127:2

LOTS OF WATER                   Job 36:27-8 (abundant distilled water)

ALWAYS TEMPERATE  1 Cor 10:31

NUTRITION                           Genesis 1:29, 3:18

*SEE GODSPLAN HANDOUT SHEET FOR HOW TO APPLY GODSPLAN

Following this plan (GOD’S PLAN) is the heavenly method of health and healing.  The list looks simple, yet simply ignoring one point destroys the effectiveness of the results and pushes healing away and not near to us; in our reach!  “For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” James 2:10.

Will GOD’S PLAN work for me if I am already sick?   

Yes, read Jeremiah 30:17 & 33:6!  The Eight Laws of Health known as G.O.D.S.P.L.A.N. are the seven natural laws of the Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ, plus one supernatural law (Godly Trust) which is the foundation of His Healing system!

If I want to be free from disease, how do I start using GODSPLAN?

See John 8:31-32!  Simply, as we faithfully follow these eight laws everyday and properly use them freedom will come.  There are three steps — if we understand that the body is a temple (1 Corinthians 3:16, 17)

STEP 1         CLEANSING – 2 Corinthians 7:1, Daniel 8:14

STEP 2        BUILDING – Psalms 102:16

STEP 3        PRESERVING – Deuteronomy 6:24
