When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [17] 12/01/2025 (Evening thought)

Exodus 16:3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for you have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

[Healthful Living pp 96>97] The Lord intends to bring his people back to live upon simple fruits, vegetables, and grains. He led the children of Israel into the wilderness where they could not get a flesh diet; and he gave them the bread of heaven. “Man did eat angels’ food.” But they craved the flesh-pots of Egypt, and mourned and cried for flesh, notwithstanding the promise of the Lord that if they would submit to his will, he would carry them into the land of Canaan.

And He would establish them there, a pure, holy, happy people, and that there should not be a feeble one in all their tribes; for he would take away all sickness from among them.... The Lord would have given them flesh had it been essential for their health, but he who had created and redeemed them led them through that long journey in the wilderness to educate, discipline, and train them in correct habits. The Lord understood what influence flesh eating has upon the human system.

He would have a people that would, in their physical appearance, bear the divine credentials, notwithstanding their long journey. Let no meat be found at our restaurants or dining tents, but let its place be supplied with fruits, grains, and vegetables. We must practise what we preach. When sitting at a table where meat is provided, we should not make a raid on those who use it, but should let it alone ourselves; and when asked the reason for doing this, we should kindly explain why we do not use it.

Psalms 78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 19 Yea, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

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

When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [16] 11/30/2025 (Morning thought)

Mark 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

Therefore, after she had done all that she could to find a cure, she turned to the Mighty Healer for help and sure enough, she got an answer in the positive. In other words, the Bible teaches us to exhaust all God-ordained options, while living in harmony with the light that has been shed on our pathway, and if everything fails, we can look to God for help…. [Medical Ministry pp 13>14] Many have expected that God would keep them from sickness merely because they have asked Him to do so.

[Medical Ministry pp 13>14] But God did not regard their prayers, because their faith was not made perfect by works. God will not work a miracle to keep those from sickness who have no care for themselves, but are continually violating the laws of health and make no efforts to prevent disease. The way in which Christ worked was to preach the word, and to relieve suffering by miraculous works of healing. But I am instructed that we cannot now work in this way; for Satan will exercise his power by working miracles.

God’s servants today could not work by means of miracles because spurious works of healing claiming to be divine, will be wrought. For this reason, the Lord has marked out a way in which His people are to carry forward a work of physical healing combined with the teaching of the word. This is the provision the Lord has made whereby gospel medical missionary work is to be done for many souls. These institutions are to be established out of the cities, and in them educational work is to be intelligently carried forward.

Matthew 28:19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

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