When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [15] 11/30/2025 (Evening thought)

1st Corinthians 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats the air. 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 562] True temperance teaches us to dispense entirely with everything hurtful and to use judiciously that which is healthful. There are few who realize as they should how much their habits of diet have to do with their health, their character, their usefulness in this world, and their eternal destiny. The appetite should ever be in subjection to the moral and intellectual powers. The body should be servant to the mind, and not the mind to the body.

Therefore, the next time you walk down the aisle at Publix, and you hear Ben and Jerrys beckoning to you from the freezer, here’s a simple prayer that will keep them at bay: “In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke you satan”. This leads us to our third and final point pertaining to God’s health care plan: [3] In most cases, miracles from God are to be your last resort, when the arm of flesh has failed and you have done all that you can possibly do.

Mark 5: 25 And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse…. In our day, this woman would have run out of other options, she would have spent all her money on her premiums, and, the health care system would have failed her, because her primary care doctor, as well as the specialists would have told her that there was nothing else they could do.

Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [14] 11/29/2025 (Morning thought)

2nd Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper.

Not only does much information come from the prophets of God, but the health industry is full of instructions as to how we can avoid or stave off health problems. Take for instance the Scriptural instruction given on the eating of sweets, to help in preventing diabetes and sweet diseases that have become so rampant in our day, and which now have persons looking to GLPs as a savior in many instances. As the bible says, we are going to study line upon line and precept upon precept.

Proverbs 24: 13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste…. Proverbs 25:16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest you be filled therewith, and vomit it…. Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

When taken together as a whole, the three passages declare that honey is good, but it should be taken in quantities that are warranted, and then the warning is given about overindulgence in sweets. The word “vomit” refers to the adverse effects it will have on the one who overindulges in sweets. And then the prophets amplify that which Solomon wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit so that we can have a broader understanding of the issues of prevention and cure. No need to demonize honey as if it can troll us without our choice in the matter.

1st Corinthians 9: 25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
