You take tests in school for the teacher to find out what you know. The correct answers are not revealed until the test is over. Some students find this traumatic. I give you tests as well, but they are not to find out what you know, because I already know that. All my tests are ‘open book’, and if you inquire of me I will give you the answers even while the test is in progress. I give you tests that you may learn and grow and be changed into my likeness. Are you still worried that you will fail the tests I give? I want you to understand the magnitude of my keeping power for my own, for I am able to keep you from falling, and no one can take you out of my hand.
Do you want to hear from me and think that you would benefit from inner stillness? Yet do you have a concern that calming yourself will open you to the influence of the enemy? With these conflicting issues inside you what is the outcome? Calmness loses this conflict by default. Yet this matter can be successfully resolved by Biblical principles. I promised that if you would seek me you would find me. If you come to me I will not turn away and leave you to your enemy. You can come to me in confidence knowing that you are secure in my presence. I am eager to speak to you and will do so if you seek me and give me the opportunity.
The premise of high intensity exercise (also known as "surge training" or "interval training"): When you tax your muscles to the maximum, they tear themselves down and rebuild as larger muscles. High intensity exercises are considered a Fountain of Youth. In addition to building stronger muscles, this process removes all stored glucose in your muscles (since you work your muscle groups to “failure” or complete exhaustion), and this has been shown to increase glucose uptake by 23 percent after only four months (Body by Science, Doug McGuff, M.D., pg. 102). High intensity exercise also reverses aging, lowers cholesterol, speeds up your metabolism, optimizes cardiovascular health, improves flexibility, builds bone density and sheds fat. All in 12 just minutes a day!
Living long enough to fulfill your destiny, and living in vibrant health are two important issues to each of us. I have been passionate to discover the principles of health and apply them to my life. The three books I have written concerning health and some key health products I take are available here. (Note: click through the full three pages of information.) Here are my three favorite health websites that I trust and whose information I regularly use. I encourage you to spend time on them and receive their free blogs. (DISCLAIMER: This is NOT an endorsement of the philosophy, theology or belief system of any of these websites. This recommendation ONLY applies to their research and knowledge of physical health and healing.)
I was meek and lowly in heart and taught my disciples to follow my example. Do these terms describe you? Do you think that if you take on these characteristics you will become a target for abuse and be trampled on by others? This happened to me, to the point of crucifixion. I told my followers that the world would not love them because they were not of this world even as I was not. Do you live in a time and place where you get approval for following me? This is an anomaly and you should not be surprised when this condition changes. My word promises you persecution, victory through it, and tells you to rejoice for great is your reward in heaven.
Blessed Holy Lord Jesus, Jim Bakker, on his current television program, paints a dismal picture of what is to come. In this, he is promoting a solar generator system and buckets of dried foods for extended storage. Your comments, please, on all of this.
Ben, Jim is moving in the direction that I want him to. I want My people to be prepared
and what he is doing is part of that preparation. Do I want you to be involved in buying
his products? No. I will take care of you in other ways. But do not be hesitant to share
Have you heard of someone who became fervent and devout in their faith and taking my word and commandments seriously described as going off the deep end? This is not meant as a compliment. What about those who are marginal in their faith, attending but not involved, content to remain on the perimeter of the work I am doing, and never fully engaging and living their beliefs? Do you hear of them described as going off the shallow end? Yet which is more prevalent? And which is the greater danger? It is more dangerous to dive in shallow water than deep water. Beware that you don’t go off the shallow end.
My wife’s knee replacement went great today. Thanks for your prayers.
Do you expect to get acceptance, recognition and honor for your righteous obedience to me? I give you those things, but don’t expect to get them from those around you. I used the prophets of old as examples of those who were faithful to me. Yet they suffered rejection and isolation from others, and even death. Yet I told my audience to rejoice when they were treated the same way for their reward in heaven would be great. I do not ask you to pretend that this is an enjoyable experience on earth. Are you able to rejoice now knowing that you may have to wait until the world to come to receive your reward?
