“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

  “Walking, in all cases where it is possible, is the best remedy for diseased bodies, because in this exercise all the organs of the body are brought into use. Many who depend upon the movement cure could accomplish more for themselves by muscular exercise than the movements can do for them. In some cases, want of exercise causes the bowels and muscles to become enfeebled and shrunken, and these organs that have become enfeebled for want of use will be strengthened by exercise. There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. By it the circulation of the blood is greatly improved.– Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 78 (1871).

   “When the weather will permit, those who are engaged in sedentary occupations, should, if possible, walk out in the open air every day, summer and winter. The clothing should be suitable, and the feet well protected. Walking is often more beneficial to health than all the medicine that can be prescribed. For those who can endure it, walking is preferable to riding; for it brings all the muscles into exercise. The lungs also are forced into healthy action, since it is impossible to walk in the bracing air of a winter morning without inflating them.  {CTBH 100.5}

This recent news article presents some of the most recent scientific findings on the superior benefits of walking. In this article you will find such reports like the following:

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) – “Everyone knows that walking limbers the aging body, but did you know it keeps the mind supple as well? Research shows that walking can actually boost the connectivity within brain circuits, which tends to diminish as the grey hairs multiply.” To read the whole article click here.

Jesus, our Example

     Our Lord Jesus Christ came to this world as the unwearied servant of man’s necessity. He “took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses,” that He might minister to every need of humanity. Matthew 8:17. The burden of disease and wretchedness and sin He came to remove. It was His mission to bring to men complete restoration; He came to give them health and peace and perfection of character.  {MH 17.1} 

     Varied were the circumstances and needs of those who besought His aid, and none who came to Him went away unhelped. From Him flowed a stream of healing power, and in body and mind and soul men were made whole.  {MH 17.2} 

     The Saviour’s work was not restricted to any time or place. His compassion knew no limit. On so large a scale did He conduct His work of healing and teaching that there was no building in Palestine large enough to receive the multitudes that thronged to Him. On the green hill slopes of Galilee, in the thoroughfares of travel, by the seashore, in the synagogues, and in every other place where the sick could be brought to Him, was to be found His hospital. In every city, every town, every village, through which He passed, He laid His hands upon the afflicted ones and healed them. Wherever there were hearts ready to receive His message, He comforted them with the assurance of their heavenly Father’s love. All day He ministered to those who came to Him; in the evening He gave attention to such as through the day must toil to earn a pittance for the support of their families.  {MH 17.3}

  
     Jesus carried the awful weight of responsibility for the salvation of men. He knew that unless there was a decided change in the principles and purposes of the human race, all would be lost. This was the burden of His soul, and none could appreciate the weight that rested upon Him. Through childhood, youth, and manhood He walked alone. Yet it was heaven to be in His presence. Day by day He met trials and temptations; day by day He was brought into contact with evil and witnessed its power upon those whom He was seeking to bless and to save. Yet He did not fail or become discouraged.  {MH 18.1} 

     In all things He brought His wishes into strict abeyance to His mission. He glorified His life by making everything in it subordinate to the will of His Father. When in His youth His mother, finding Him in the school of the rabbis, said, “Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us?” He answered,–and His answer is the keynote of His lifework,–”How is it that ye sought Me? wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?” Luke 2:48, 49.  {MH 19.1} 

     His life was one of constant self-sacrifice. He had no home in this world except as the kindness of friends provided for Him as a wayfarer. He came to live in our behalf the life of the poorest and to walk and work among the needy and the suffering. Unrecognized and unhonored, He walked in and out among the people for whom He had done so much.  {MH 19.2} 

     He was always patient and cheerful, and the afflicted hailed Him as a messenger of life and peace. He saw the needs of men and women, children and youth, and to all He gave the invitation, “Come unto Me.”  {MH 19.3} 

     During His ministry, Jesus devoted more time to healing the sick than to preaching. His miracles testified to the truth of His words, that He came not to destroy, but to save. Wherever He went, the tidings of His mercy preceded Him. Where He had passed, the objects of His compassion were rejoicing in health and making trial of their new-found powers. Crowds were collecting around them to hear from their lips the works that the Lord had wrought. His voice was the first sound that many had ever heard, His name the first word they had ever spoken, His face the first they had ever looked upon. Why should they not love Jesus and sound His praise? As He passed through the towns and cities He was like a vital current, diffusing life and joy.

     “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
      Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
      Galilee of the nations,
      The people that sat in darkness
      Saw a great light,
      And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death,
      To them did light spring up.”
                 Matthew 4:15, 16, A.R.V., margin.  {MH 19.4} 

 
     The Saviour made each work of healing an occasion for implanting divine principles in the mind and soul. This was the purpose of His work. He imparted earthly blessings, that He might incline the hearts of men to receive the gospel of His grace.  {MH 20.1} 

     Christ might have occupied the highest place among the teachers of the Jewish nation, but He preferred rather to take the gospel to the poor. He went from place to place, that those in the highways and byways might hear the words of truth. By the sea, on the mountainside, in the streets of the city, in the synagogue, His voice was heard explaining the Scriptures. Often He taught in the outer court of the temple, that the Gentiles might hear His words.  {MH 20.2}

  
     So unlike the explanations of Scripture given by the scribes and Pharisees was Christ’s teaching, that the attention of the people was arrested. The rabbis dwelt upon tradition, upon human theory and speculation. Often that which men had taught and written about the Scripture was put in place of the Scripture itself. The subject of Christ’s teaching was the word of God. He met questioners with a plain, “It is written,” “What saith the Scripture?” “How readest thou?” At every opportunity when an interest was awakened by either friend or foe, He presented the word. With clearness and power He proclaimed the gospel message. His words shed a flood of light on the teachings of patriarchs and prophets, and the Scriptures came to men as a new revelation. Never before had His hearers perceived in the word of God such depth of meaning.  {MH 21.1} 

     Never was there such an evangelist as Christ. He was the Majesty of heaven, but He humbled Himself to take our nature, that He might meet men where they were. To all people, rich and poor, free and bond, Christ, the Messenger of the covenant, brought the tidings of salvation. His fame as the Great Healer spread throughout Palestine. The sick came to the places through which He would pass, that they might call on Him for help. Hither, too, came many anxious to hear His words and to receive a touch of His hand. Thus He went from city to city, from town to town, preaching the gospel and healing the sick–the King of glory in the lowly garb of humanity.  {MH 22.1} 

     He attended the great yearly festivals of the nation, and to the multitude absorbed in outward ceremony He spoke of heavenly things, bringing eternity within their view. To all He brought treasures from the storehouse of wisdom. He spoke to them in language so simple that they could not fail of understanding. By methods peculiarly His own, He helped all who were in sorrow and affliction. With tender, courteous grace He ministered to the sin-sick soul, bringing healing and strength.  {MH 22.2} 

     The prince of teachers, He sought access to the people by the pathway of their most familiar associations. He presented the truth in such a way that ever after it was to His hearers intertwined with their most hallowed recollections and sympathies. He taught in a way that made them feel the completeness of His identification with their interests and happiness. His instruction was so direct, His illustrations were so appropriate, His words so sympathetic and cheerful, that His hearers were charmed. The simplicity and earnestness with which He addressed the needy, hallowed every word.  {MH 23.1} 

     What a busy life He led! Day by day He might have been seen entering the humble abodes of want and sorrow, speaking hope to the downcast and peace to the distressed. Gracious, tenderhearted, pitiful, He went about lifting up the bowed-down and comforting the sorrowful. Wherever He went, He carried blessing.  {MH 24.1} 

     While He ministered to the poor, Jesus studied also to find ways of reaching the rich. He sought the acquaintance of the wealthy and cultured Pharisee, the Jewish nobleman, and the Roman ruler. He accepted their invitations, attended their feasts, made Himself familiar with their interests and occupations, that He might gain access to their hearts, and reveal to them the imperishable riches.  {MH 24.2} 

     Christ came to this world to show that by receiving power from on high, man can live an unsullied life. With unwearying patience and sympathetic helpfulness He met men in their necessities. By the gentle touch of grace He banished from the soul unrest and doubt, changing enmity to love, and unbelief to confidence.  {MH 25.1} 

     He could say to whom He pleased, “Follow Me,” and the one addressed arose and followed Him. The spell of the world’s enchantment was broken. At the sound of His voice the spirit of greed and ambition fled from the heart, and men arose, emancipated, to follow the Saviour.  {MH 25.2}

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
