Out of Control: The AIDS Epidemic in Black America

2010-03-11T08:03:00.000-08:00

"Black Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population but account for over 50 percent of all new cases of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. That infection rate is eight times the rate of whites. Among women, the numbers are even more shocking--- almost 70 percent of all newly diagnosed HIV-positive women in the United States are black women. Black women are 23 times more likely to be diagnosed with AIDS than white women, with heterosexual contact being the overwhelming method of infection in black America."

Jesus' prayer....

“I pray for them… which thou hast given me; for THEY ARE THINE. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I AM GLORIFIED IN THEM. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, KEEP through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be ONE, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I KEPT THEM in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and NON OF THEM IS LOST… that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have MY JOY FULFILLED IN THEMSELVES. I have GIVEN THEM MY WORD; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. SANCTIFY THEM through thy truth: thy WORD IS TRUTH.”

John 17:9-17

Precious Tear #40

2010-02-16T00:40:00.000-08:00

Almost a year ago I joined Twitter, a social network to share with my followers health tips, inspirational thoughts, ministry updates, and my personal thoughts.

During the month of January I tweeted, a messages less than 140 characters and was surprised to get a positive response so quickly.

One of my followers Eliashib Rafford Smith, also known as @reidklos on Twitter, responded to my post by praying for me on his blog Tailor Made. He played a big role in helping me come up with the name Abounding Health Ministries. I will be forever grateful for his "Tear #40" and encouragement over the years.

"LORD,

Via Twitter my girl, @AboundingHealth, better known as Precious Lowe, asked for prayer.

“This day has been a trying one……… all those who can join in prayer with me… please pray for me.”

First, Father, please strengthen her so that she may be able to endure the “race” and finish strong. Help her sort out what she really needs to tackle today. Remind her that some things are Yours to be concerned with. Send her a helper if that’s what she needs.

Ease her mind. We have nothing to worry about. Stop her for a moment so that she can refocus her energy and glance into Your face. Show her a glimpse of Your glory, a piece of Your character that she needs to acknowledge.

Don’t let her faith in You and Your power fail in the least. Order her steps in Your word.

Touch her body and send a burst of life through it. Quicken her thoughts and sharpen her mind. Fill her with Your spirit.

Protect her from the evil one and his cunning devices. Quench the fiery darts of his attacks on her, her friends, her family, and those associated with her. Send a legion of angels to help her to stand against the darkness that seeks to press her down.

All power and glory is Yours forever, LORD, so I believe You can do all that I’ve asked. And whatever I didn’t ask for that she needs, LORD, please grant it as You see fit, because You know exactly what’s going on.

Love You"

LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS

2010-02-05T21:17:00.000-08:00

"Love "rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth." He whose heart is imbued with love is filled with sorrow at the errors and weaknesses of others; but when truth triumphs, when the cloud that darkened the fair fame of another is removed, or when sins are confessed and wrongs corrected, he rejoices. . . .

Love not only bears with others' faults, but cheerfully submits to whatever suffering or inconvenience such forbearance makes necessary. This love "never faileth." It can never lose its value; it is the attribute of heaven. As a precious treasure it will be carried by its possessor through the portals of the city of God.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, and peace. Discord and strife are the work of Satan and the fruit of sin. If we would as a people enjoy peace and love, we must put away our sins; we must come into harmony with God, and we shall be in harmony with one another. Let each ask himself: Do I possess the grace of love? Have I learned to suffer long and to be kind? Talents, learning, and eloquence, without this heavenly attribute, will be as meaningless as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. Alas that this precious treasure is so lightly valued and so little sought by many who profess the faith! . . .

If we would not build our hopes of heaven upon a false foundation we must accept the Bible as it reads and believe that the Lord means what He says. He requires nothing of us that He will not give us grace to perform. We shall have no excuse to offer in the day of God if we fail to reach the standard set before us in His Word.

We are admonished by the apostle: "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another." Paul would have us distinguish between the pure, unselfish love which is prompted by the spirit of Christ, and the unmeaning, deceitful pretense with which the world abounds. This base counterfeit has mislead many souls. It would blot out the distinction between right and wrong, by agreeing with the transgressor instead of faithfully showing him his errors. Such a course never springs from real friendship. The spirit by which it is prompted dwells only in the carnal heart. While the Christian will be ever kind, compassionate, and forgiving, he can feel no harmony with sin. He will abhor evil and cling to that which is good, at the sacrifice of association or friendship with the ungodly. The spirit of Christ will lead us to hate sin, while we are willing to make any sacrifice to save the sinner."

STRENGTH

2010-02-03T10:53:00.000-08:00

"Strength of character consists of two things--power of will and power of self-control. Many youth mistake strong, uncontrolled passion for strength of character; but the truth is that he who is mastered by his passions is a weak man. The real greatness and nobility of the man is measured by his powers to subdue his feelings, not by the power of his feelings to subdue him. The strongest man is he who, while sensitive to abuse, will yet restrain passion and forgive his enemies." Child Guidance, p 161

"The gospel invitation is not to be narrowed down and presented only to a select few, who, we suppose, will do us honor if they accept it. The message is to be given to all. When God blesses His children, it is not alone for their own sake, but for the world's sake. As He bestows His gifts on us, it is that we may multiply them by imparting.

The Samaritan woman who talked with Jesus at Jacob's well had no sooner found the Saviour than she brought others to Him. She proved herself a more effective missionary than His own disciples. The disciples saw nothing in Samaria to indicate that it was an encouraging field. Their thoughts were fixed upon a great work to be done in the future. They did not see that right around them was a harvest to be gathered. But through the woman whom they despised a whole cityful were brought to hear Jesus. She carried the light at once to her countrymen.

This woman represents the working of a practical faith in Christ. Every true disciple is born into the kingdom of God as a missionary. No sooner does he come to know the Saviour than he desires to make others acquainted with Him. The saving and sanctifying truth cannot be shut up in his heart. He who drinks of the living water becomes a fountain of life. The receiver becomes a giver. The grace of Christ in the soul is like a spring in the desert, welling up to refresh all, and making those who are ready to perish eager to drink of the water of life. In doing this work a greater blessing is received than if we work merely to benefit ourselves. It is in working to spread the good news of salvation that we are brought near to the Saviour."
Ministry of Healing, p. 102

Faith Cometh By Hearing The Word of God

2010-01-03T10:52:00.000-08:00

"But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE HIM: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that HE IS, and that HE IS a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM." Hebrews 11:6

Here are a few faith scriptures for you to claim. Romans 10:17 says, "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." So by hearing and claiming the promises by faith, will strengthen your trust and hope in God, who will "DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US."Ephesians 3:20

Romans 1:17 "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

Romans 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe"

1 Corinthians 1:24 "for by faith ye stand."

2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight"

Ephesians 3:16-19 "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."

Phillipians 3:9 "And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith"

James 2:20-24 "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."

When the Soul Surrenders to Christ

2009-12-24T07:15:00.000-08:00

"When the soul surrenders itself to Christ, a new power takes possession of the new heart. A change is wrought which man can never accomplish for himself. It is a supernatural work, bringing a supernatural element into human nature. The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it but His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan. But unless we do yield ourselves to the control of Christ, we shall be dominated by the wicked one. We must inevitably be under the control of the one or the other of the two great powers that are contending for the supremacy of the world. It is not necessary for us deliberately to choose the service of the kingdom of darkness in order to come under its dominion. We have only to neglect to ally ourselves with the kingdom of light. If we do not co-operate with the heavenly agencies, Satan will take possession of the heart, and will make it his abiding place. The only defense against evil is the indwelling of Christ in the heart through faith in His righteousness. Unless we become vitally connected with God, we can never resist the unhallowed effects of self-love, self-indulgence, and temptation to sin. We may leave off many bad habits, for the time we may part company with Satan; but without a vital connection with God, through the surrender of ourselves to Him moment by moment, we shall be overcome. Without a personal acquaintance with Christ, and a continual communion, we are at the mercy of the enemy, and shall do his bidding in the end." Desire of Ages, p. 324

Myth: You Can Lose Weight By Doing Nothing

2009-12-22T20:20:00.000-08:00

"Many have expected that God would keep them from sickness merely because they have asked Him to do so. 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. When we do all we can on our part to have health, then may we expect that the blessed results will follow, and we can ask God in faith to bless our efforts for the preservation of health. He will then answer our prayer, if His name can be glorified thereby. But let all understand that they have a work to do. God will not work in a miraculous manner to preserve the health of persons who are taking a sure course to make themselves sick, by their careless inattention to the laws of health.

Those who will gratify their appetite, and then suffer because of their intemperance, and take drugs to relieve them, may be assured that God will not interpose to save health and life which is so recklessly periled. The cause has produced the effect. Many, as their last resort, follow the directions in the word of God, and request the prayers of the elders of the church for their restoration to health. God does not see fit to answer prayers offered in behalf of such, for He knows that if they should be restored to health, they would again sacrifice it upon the altar of unhealthy appetite."

Reasons For Discarding Flesh Foods

2009-12-15T09:08:00.000-08:00

"Those who eat flesh are but eating grains and vegetables at second hand, for the animal receives from these things the nutrition that produces growth. The life that was in the grains and vegetables passes into the eater. We receive it by eating the flesh of the animal. How much better to get it direct, by eating the food that God provided for our use!

Flesh was never the best food; but its use is now doubly objectionable, since disease in animals is so rapidly increasing. Those who use flesh foods little know what they are eating. Often if they could see the animals when living and know the quality of the meat they eat, they would turn from it with loathing. People are continually eating flesh that is filled with tuberculous and cancerous germs. Tuberculosis, cancer, and other fatal diseases are thus communicated."

Health Library: Fresh Juices

2009-12-15T08:43:00.000-08:00

One may ask, "Why not eat the whole vegetable and fruit instead of extracting the juice and discarding the fiber?"

The answer is simple: solid food requires many hours of digestive activity before its nourishment is finally available to the cells and nourishing value, they do act as an intestinal broom during the peristaltic activity of the intestines, hence the need to eat raw foods in addition to drinking juices. However, the removal of the fibers in extraction of the juices, enables juices to be very quickly digested and assimilated, somethimes in a matter of minutes, with a minimum of effort and exertion on the part of the digestive system."

7 Reasons Count Down

2009-12-10T10:58:00.000-08:00

Listed below are 7 possible reasons exposure to sunlight can benefit my health.

7) My cardiovascular system will be strengthened. This will mean: better circulation, better distribution of nutrients, and better supply of white blood cells to fight against disease.

6) My metabolism will be increased. This will allow the proper distribution of nutrients needed to build healthy bones.

5) It can aiding in the regulation of normal weight for my body type.

4) It will help in the proper function of my kidneys by eliminating waste.

3) Enhance my liver function. My live will cleanse my blood of poisonous substances, by converting it into a less harmful substance. Then it will be eliminated throught the urine or bile. My liver stores iron, and that is good for healthy blood cell function.

2) Improve my digestion. This will remove unnecessary toxins, which this will free the cells so that they can rebuild healthy bones.

1) It can alter my mood and cheer me up. My body will react to the sunlight by dumping hormones into my bloodstream, which has a positive reaction against depression and anxiety. A negitive attitude can cause my bodies pH to be more acidic. This creates a habitat for sickness and disease. Studies has shown that cancer can not live in an alkaline body.

SUNSHINE

2009-12-10T07:40:00.000-08:00

I’ve been suffering from an unknown bone problem in both of my wrist for the past 8 years. In my journey of freedom towards building stronger and healthy bones, I need to get more vitamin D and calcium. Getting enough vitamin D, will help my body absorb calcium from the food I eat. Vitamin D is produced in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. So that my body will make enough vitamin D, I need 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight to my hands and face, at least three times a week. The sun is least damaging to the skin during the hours between sunrise till nine a.m., and three to four hours after noon till sunset.

A Thousand Reasons Not To Worry

2009-12-10T04:38:00.000-08:00

"There are many whose hearts are aching under a load of care because they seek to reach the world's standard. They have chosen its service, accepted its perplexities, adopted its customs. Thus their character is marred and their life made a weariness. The continual worry is wearing out the life forces. Our Lord desires them to lay aside this yoke of bondage. He invites them to accept His yoke; He says, "My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." Worry is blind and cannot discern the future; but Jesus sees the end from the beginning. In every difficulty He has His way prepared to bring relief. "No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly." Matthew 11:30; Psalm 84:11.
Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme, will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet."

Power of Forgiveness

2009-11-23T22:13:00.000-08:00

“The Saviour looked upon the mournful countenance and saw the pleading eyes fixed upon Him. Well He knew the longing of that burdened soul. It was Christ who had brought conviction to his conscience when he was yet at home. When he repented of his sins and believed in the power of Jesus to make him whole, the mercy of the Saviour had blessed his heart. Jesus had watched the first glimmer of faith grow into a conviction that He was the sinner's only helper, and had seen it grow stronger with every effort to come into His presence. It was Christ who had drawn the sufferer to Himself. Now, in words that fell like music on the listener's ear, the Saviour said, "Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee." Matthew 9:2.

The burden of guilt rolls from the sick man's soul. He cannot doubt. Christ's words reveal His power to read the heart. Who can deny His power to forgive sins? Hope takes the place of despair, and joy of oppressive gloom. The man's physical pain is gone, and his whole being is transformed. Making no further request, he lay in peaceful silence, too happy for words.”

Ministry of Healing, p. 75, 76

Kevin LeVar "A Heart That Forgives"

2009-11-23T20:58:00.000-08:00

"Many of those who came to Christ for help had brought disease upon themselves, yet He did not refuse to heal them. And when virtue from Him entered into these souls, they were convicted of sin, and many were healed of their spiritual disease as well as of their physical maladies.

Among these was the paralytic at Capernaum. Like the leper, this paralytic had lost all hope of recovery. His disease was the result of a sinful life, and his sufferings were embittered by remorse. In vain he had appealed to the Pharisees and doctors for relief; they pronounced him incurable, they denounced him as a sinner and declared that he would die under the wrath of God.

The palsied man had sunk into despair. Then he heard of the works of Jesus. Others, as sinful and helpless as he, had been healed, and he was encouraged to believe that he, too, might be cured if he could be carried to the Saviour. But hope fell as he remembered the cause of his malady, yet he could not cast away the possibility of healing.

His great desire was relief from the burden of sin. He longed to see Jesus and receive the assurance of forgiveness and peace with heaven. Then he would be content to live or to die, according to God's will."

If you want HEALING...prepare your heart to believe and do whatever God ask of you. God uses simple methods of healing: 1) A man was healed of leprosy by dipping his whole body into a river seven times, 1 Kings 5:14. 2) A blind man was able to see clearly after Jesus applied dirt mixed with spit onto his eyes, John 9:6,7. 3) There were thousands of people healed by believing in the Son of God, and having faith that He would heal them. (Matthew 9:22, Matthew 15:28, Matthew 4:23) The pathway to healing is to believe that God has the power to heal, and obey His instructions.

If you need KNOWLEDGE...hunger and thirst after it, and God will fill you. Many people are suffering from disease and sickness, because they have not been properly educated on how unhealthy habits effect the body. "Men and women must be taught to take a careful review of every habit and every practice, and at once put away those things that cause an unhealthy condition of the body, and thus cast a dark shadow over the mind." -Counsels on Health, p. 445

If you need UNDERSTANDING...God will give the Holy Spirit without measure to teach you all things (Luke 11:13, John 14:26). God created the human body which is "fearfully and wonderfully made" Psalms 139:14, and He knows what specific things that are needed to maintain a healthy body.

If you need WISDOM... James 1:5 says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally." Wisdom is the right use or exercise of knowledge, and can be gained through experience or learned. "God gave the three" Hebrew "boys knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom" Daniel 1:17, because they stayed true in honoring God in health principles.

Whatever you need...desire...lack...God "is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" Ephesians 3:20. He will give us the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom that we may make an educated choice to live a healthy lifestyle.

So how bad do you want to be healed? PRAY FOR IT!!!

Our Youth Matter

2009-11-17T06:23:00.001-08:00

October 25-27, 2009, Abounding Health Ministries conducted a Young Ladies Workshop. It's my prayer that the seeds that have been shown, will take root and flourish. I enjoyed spending time and getting to know the young ladies in Alexandria, La. A few of the topics that were discussed: True Identity Is In Christ, Is Jesus Really Coming Back Soon, and How To Believe In The Promise Keeper.

“When young…. women are sober-minded and cultivate piety and devotion, they will let their light shine forth to others, and there will be vital power in the church. It would be well to have an hour appointed for Bible study, and let the youth, both converted and unconverted, gather together for prayer and for the relation of their experiences. The youth should have a chance to give expression to their feelings. It would be well to have a judicious leader chosen at first, one who will talk little and encourage a great deal, by dropping a word now and then to help and strengthen the youth in the beginning of their religious experiences. After they have had a little experience, let one of their number take the leadership, and then another, and in this way let workers be educated that will meet the approval of God."

CARROTS

2009-10-05T14:08:00.000-07:00

Today I got an interesting email, and thought I should share...

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS,etc

The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots - most people probably know this already.

What you may not know and should know is the following:

Once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them. (this is the same chlorine used in your pool)

Since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots. This is the chlorine which resurfaces.

At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables?

Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer. I thought this was worth passing on. Pass it on to as many people as possible in hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed. I used to buy those baby carrots for vegetable dips. I know that I will never buy them again!!!!

Vegetarian Diet

2009-10-01T10:14:00.000-07:00

I've been a vegetarian for over 14 years. At first it was a struggle, but now it's just a way of life. If you are considering becoming a vegetarian please read this articale.

WHAT MAKES FOR A HEALTHY VEGETARIAN DIET?

"The challenges or hazards of a vegetarian diet have been exaggerated in the past. Contrary to what you may have heard, most vegetarians don't need to worry about getting enough protein or about combining certain foods to ensure "complete" protein.

According to the Vegetarian Resource Group, if you are eating enough calories to maintain a healthy body weight, you are getting enough amino acids and protein.

It's also easy to get enough calcium and iron from vegetable foods. Vitamin B12 is perhaps the primary concern--and only for strict vegans. Those who eat no animal foods of any kind are advised to take a B12 supplement. Visit the Vegetarian Resource Group for more resources on vegetarian nutrition." Read More...

Cancer - The Bodies Alerm System

2009-08-03T15:29:00.000-07:00

Andreas Moritz explains how cancer cells develope in the body, then forms into a tumor. Doctors sergically remove the tumor, but more emphazis should be on educating people on the cause of disease. "The solution to most of our health problems today does not depend on physician, technological advances, or on the quality of our hospitals. Our health today is determined largely by our lifestyle choice..." Health Power. p. 12

July 26, 2009 Health Seminar

2009-08-02T10:53:00.000-07:00

It was another successful health seminar located at the Lions of Judah Conference Center in Stone Mountain Georgia. We learned the value of lemons, the proper use of Epson salt, and how the word convenience is not always a good thing. Our special guest speaker Shelem Flemons, director of Times of Refreshing saving health ministries, spoke on How To Overcome Disease.

You don't want to miss the next health seminar. FOODS, FLU, and FEAR!!! on Sunday, August 23, 2009 at the same place: 6202 Memorial Drive Stone Mountain, GA 30083. It's from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

The Smell of Fresh Bread... Priceless!

2009-07-21T10:56:00.000-07:00

My friend Eboni Felts, a international medical missionary/massage therapist, came over to my house to teach my mother and me how to make bread. It was so easy to make. Her video on how to make SIMPLE BREAD will be coming out SOON!! This will be a must have in every home.

"It is a religious duty for every Christian girl and woman to learn at once to make good, sweet, light bread from unbolted wheat flour. Mothers should take their daughters into the kitchen with them when very young, and teach them the art of cooking." Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 317

I think this quote is very true, but it's very impressive if a boy or man can make delicious bread.

God says in Isaiah 33:16, "bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure." If God only gave you the ingredients to make the bread....What would you do?

What is More Important To You?

2009-07-21T05:47:00.000-07:00

"The question of how to preserve the health is one of primary importance. ("My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...thou hast forgotten the law" Hosea 4:6) When we study this question in the fear of God, ("by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil" Proverbs 16:6) we shall learn that it is best, for both our physical and our spiritual advancement, to observe simplicity in diet. Let us patiently study this question. We need knowledge and judgment in order to move wisely in this matter. Nature's laws are not to be resisted, but obeyed." ("Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people." Deuteronomy 4:6)

GOOD HEALTH = GOOD BLOOD

2009-07-01T14:12:00.000-07:00

"In order to have good health, we must have good blood; for the blood is the current of life. It repairs waste, and nourishes the body. When supplied with the proper food elements and when cleansed and vitalized by contact with pure air, it carries life and vigor to every part of the system. The more perfect the circulation, the better will this work be accomplished." Councel on Diet and Foods, p. 92

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood" Leviticus 17:11

3 Tips That Can Help Build Healthy Blood.

Eat plenty dark leafy vegetables in your salad. A few cups of dark leafy vegetables in your salad usuaully will provide the minimum amount of vitamin K your body needs a day. Vitamin K is good for regulating blood clots and prevent bones from osteoporosis.

Take a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses. It's a good source of iron, calcium, copper, magnesium, and potassium. All these are needed to make good bones and blood cells.

Spinkle 1/2 to 1 tablespoon lecithin powder over fruit or vegetable salad. Lecithin contains properties that prevent the cells from hardening, and helps cholesterol deposit from forming in the blood vessels. Read More...

Genetically Modified Foods

2009-06-30T13:34:00.000-07:00

America is known for being the land of opportunty. It prizes itself on the fact that America has some of the best medical equipment than other countries. It was reported in 2006, Americans spent $95 billion a year on medical research. In 2007, $287 billion was spent on precription medication. One would conclude with all this money being spent on the the well being of humanity, that there would not be a drastic rise of disease in America. Unfortantly that is not so. The epidemic diseases like Type 2 diabete, obesity, high blood pressure, cardiac, and cancer will never decrease unless people make a decided change in lifestyle. I recommend watching this video with your family. This is not just effecting you, but the health of your family.

Warning: This video is long, but worth your time.

"Take heed that no man deceive you." Matthew 24:4

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19,20

5 Things You Can Do When You Have A Cold

2009-06-30T06:00:00.000-07:00

Make an Immune Booster
Nature’s Penicillin is a wonderful immune booster that only take minutes to make.

*1 grapefruit, 1 orange, 3 lemons, 6 cloves garlic, 1 inch piece fresh ginger, 1 medium onion, pinch cayenne pepper 90,000 H.U., 2-3 cups pineapple juice, and honey to taste.

*Directions: Peel and cut grapefruit, orange lemons (leaving on most of the white part of the skin), and onion. Blend all ingredients and store in a glass container/jar. Take a tablespoon as needed. Amounts: (Adult) 1 to 1 ½ cup a day; (Child) ½ - 1 cup a day. Nature’s Penicillin will keep in the refrigerator, in a closed glass jar for 4-6 days. When you are ready to use, warm slightly the portion you want to take in a saucepan before serving.

Take a Hot & Cold Shower
Alternating from 3 minutes hot/warm and 30-40 second cold, three times ending with cold water will increase the amount of white blood cells in the bloodstream. Make sure you dry the body off thoroughly, and take a nap at least 20-30 minutes in a quiet place allowing the body to rest.

Go on a 3 Day Cleanse
You can go on an all juice fast or all raw fruit fast. A short fast will allow the digestive system to rest, and give the body the needed nutrients to rebuild itself. Taking colon cleanser 3-5 times a day assisted with taking an enema 2-3 times a day will help free the colon of waste.

Exercise Outdoors
The largest eliminating organ is the skin. Physical exercise will allow toxins to be expelled through perspiration. It increases circulation, and brings more nutrients and oxygen needed to make healthy cells.

Drink Plenty Water
Water is the best drink supplied to mankind. Keep the body hydrated with spring water. The body needs water to flush the systems of impurities. Note: You can squeeze a little lemon juice to help with the taste.

Don't Give Up!

2009-06-05T20:47:00.000-07:00

"Many are in obscurity. They have lost their bearings. They know not what course to pursue. Let the perplexed ones search out others who are in perplexity, and speak to them words of hope and encouragement. When they begin to do this work, the light of heaven will reveal to them the path that they should follow. By their words of consolation to the afflicted they themselves will be consoled. By helping others, they themselves will be helped out of their difficulties. Joy takes the place of sadness and gloom. The heart, filled with the Spirit of God, glows with warmth toward every fellow being. Every such an one is no longer in darkness; for his "darkness" is "as the noon day." 4 Bible Commentary p. 1151

April Showers

2009-03-26T09:16:00.000-07:00

We’ve all heard of the old adage that April showers bring May flowers. Whether you believe it does or no, April will be a mouth of counting your blessings. The whole month of April join Abounding Health Ministries in celebrating our first complete year with a thankful attitude for all that God has done.

Let the beautiful melody, “There shall be showers of blessings,...sent from the Savior above,” ring in your thoughts. Let your gratitude be expressed in every action for the Creator’s goodness. Psalms 17:22 says, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” Praising God and having a positive attitude will bring health to you mentally, physically, and spiritually.

One way we’ll launch this celebration is we want you to share one thing you are thankful for today, and write it on this blog. So instead of thinking about how gloomy it may be outside or the difficult storms you are facing in your life, this is a time to Praise God. Check out this blog weekly. Occationally, we will be giving away some wonderful free gifts (shipping + handling not included). COMING SOON Abounding Health Ministries Newsletter which will include free health webinars. Sign up for our newsletter today.

Special thanks to everyone who kept me grounded, encouraged, and strengthened during this first year. You all are appreciated. God is… SO GOOD!!

It's Far Better to Prevent Disease

2009-03-17T20:39:00.000-07:00

"Too little attention is generally given to the preservation of health. It is far better to prevent disease than to know how to treat it when contracted. It is the duty of every person, for his own sake, and for the sake of humanity, to inform himself in regard to the laws of life and conscientiously to obey them. All need to become acquainted with that most wonderful of all organisms, the human body. They should understand the functions of the various organs and the dependence of one upon another for the healthy action of all. They should study the influence of the mind upon the body, and of the body upon the mind, and the laws by which they are governed."

Ministry of Healing, p. 128
