Hearty Lentil Soup
Dec 31st
Since the month of January in most areas of the United States is the coldest month of the year, let’s feature for the rest of this month, some nice hearty and warming soups. And yes, these soups will be cooked, but let’s also remember that The Hallelujah Diet includes 15% cooked foods.
For this first week of January, I will share the recipe for a Hearty Lentil Soup, but I trust that our readers will send me their favorite soup recipes to share in the remaining weeks of the month. Leave a comment with your favorite soup recipe, or submit it to us through our Suggestion Box, and don’t be surprised if you find your soup recipe in one of the following weeks’ Health Tips. The recipes can be can be raw or cooked, but they must be vegan (contain no animal products), and contain no refined sugar, refined grains, or table salt. Don’t forget to check out more recipes at www.hacres.com/recipes.
Let’s Start The New Year 2010 With A Resolution To Be Healthy
Dec 29th
At the beginning of each New Year, many people make what are called “New Year’s Resolutions.” Why? Because, there are some things in their life they aren’t happy with and they want to change them for the better. Well, have you ever considered making a “New Year’s Resolution” with regards to your health? Resolve to start The Hallelujah Diet, a resolution for life.
Permit me to ask you a question as we enter this New Year 2010: “Are you happy with your state of health?” Let’s think about that for a moment. Do you exude energy, or are you just dragging through life? Is your mind clear and sharp, or has some fog settled in? Are you experiencing some high blood pressure or high cholesterol? Do you experience headaches, suffer with arthritic pain, or have diabetes? Or, or, or, whatever it might be?
Every physical problem we experience has a “cause”
That’s what the Bible tells us in Proverbs 26:2 – “So the curse CAUSLESS shall not come”. And are you aware that by simply eliminating the CAUSE of the physical problem, almost every physical problem you are experiencing can become a thing of the past?
Are you aware that almost every physical problem you are experiencing was CAUSED by something you placed into your mouth in the form of food or drink and/or your failure to exercise your body sufficiently? If you are not happy with your state of health, let me encourage you to consider making a “New Year’s Resolution” to improve your health.
Did you know God wants you to be healthy?
That’s right! God wants’ you to be as healthy in your physical body as you are in your spiritual soul? Yes He does! Listen to what the Bible says about your health in III John 1:2:“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou prosper and be in HEALTH; even as thy soul prospereth.”
That my friend is God’s and my will for you! But in order to “be in health” each person must do their part! God does not shine down health upon some and not others. If a person wants to experience the health God desires for them, that individual must personally become an active participant in creating that health.
This truth is made abundantly clear in Galatians 6:7, where we read: “Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man (or woman) soweth, that shall he (or she) also reap.”
How to live a healthy life
Living a healthy life is not a mystery. Rather, health is simply knowing a few basic truths, and then acting upon those truths. Here’s the first prerequisite for a healthy body: Eat a healthy diet! Tens of thousands have written to tell me that after adopting the Hallelujah Diet, they recovered from over 170 different physical problems and they didn’t get sick any more.
Why does The Hallelujah Diet give such spectacular results? The answer to that question is a simple one. When God designed these physical bodies we each possess, He designed them to run on a certain grade of fuel (food). When we put the proper fuel into our bodies, our bodies run the way God designed them to run, but when we put the wrong fuel in, they do not run properly.
It is that basic and simple! The Bible puts it this way: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
The automobile engine is a good example
Most people realize that for an automobile to run the way it was designed to run, it must have the correct octane of fuel, without contaminants, in its fuel tank. Put a low grade fuel in the fuel tank, and it will ping and knock. And we know that if we persist in putting a low octane fuel, or contaminated fuel in the fuel tank, it can result in damage or even destroy the engine.
Well the same is true of our physical bodies. When we experience physical breakdown, it is almost always the body responding to the wrong fuel! That’s right, almost every physical problem we experience, whether it be overweight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, pimples, asthma, arthritis, cancer, colds, flu, osteoporosis, heart attacks, acid stomach, strokes, headaches, etc., is the result of wrong fuel.
When we stop putting the wrong fuel (bad food and drink) into our bodies and start putting in the right fuel (good food and drink), the fuel God designed these bodies to run on, the body will almost always automatically and quite quickly correct the physical problem or problems being experienced, and start functioning the way God designed.
What is proper fuel for the human physical body?
God told us what fuel He designed these physical bodies to run on in Genesis 1:29: “And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed (vegetable), which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat (food).”
Some years ago a man wrote to tell me that after being on The Hallelujah Diet for only six months, he had lost sixty pounds in weight and twenty-eight different physical problems had disappeared from his body. Recently, a Nigerian pastor wrote to tell me he had recovered from over 30 different physical problems after adopting the Hallelujah Diet.
Our experience here at Hallelujah Acres has shown that within six months or less, after a person adopts The Hallelujah Diet, a diet patterned after God’s Genesis 1:29 diet, more than ninety percent of all physical and even emotional problems are gone.
EDITOR’S NOTE: If you are making a New Year’s Resolution to improve your health, and if you will write me a short note telling me of that Resolution, Rhonda and I will include you in our nightly bedside prayers. Please leave your request for prayer as a comment or you can send it by using the “Send George A Note” section at the bottom of the right-column.
The Hallelujah Diet, A Resolution For Life
Dec 28th
What is The Hallelujah Diet?
Well, really, The Hallelujah Diet is not a diet at all, but a LIFESTYLE. Typically, a diet is something a person does for a period of time to obtain a desired effect, and when that desired effect has been achieved, the person reverts back to the old ways.
Following this approach, a person may experience improvement on a particular diet, but when they go back to the old ways of eating, the old problems usually return and sometimes with a vengeance. On the other hand, a lifestyle change is something we do for the rest of our lives, and that is really what The Hallelujah Diet is all about.
The Hallelujah Diet is the culmination of over thirty-years of personal research, personal experiences, and listening to the testimonies of tens of thousands of others who have shared with me what worked and what didn’t work for them.
Through the years, I have had but one guiding light that kept me on the straight and narrow, and against which I weighed every modality – and what was that guiding light? It was the very diet God gave Adam in Genesis 1:29.
This diet consisted solely of all the raw fruits and raw vegetables, seeds and nuts, found in that Garden in which God placed that first created being – Adam! This original diet contained no animal products, no refined foods, or chemical additives. So Genesis 1:29 became the foundation upon which I judged everything I was learning. If it fit the teachings of Genesis 1:29, I took heed to what was being said; if it didn’t, I cast it aside.
In the beginning, I practiced and taught all raw food, but later learned that this was too difficult for most people, and caused accumulated toxins to exit the body too rapidly. I also found that most people are so addicted to cooked food that totally giving it up was more than they could emotionally handle, and caused many people to throw in the towel.
Why cooked food was added to The Hallelujah Diet
To overcome this, some cooked food was added to The Hallelujah Diet, at the end of the evening meal, and this became a little reward for being good (eating raw) the rest of the day. And we found that even with this small amount of cooked food (15%), people were able to get the same or even better results than with the 100% raw food diet.
This little bit of cooked food at the end of the evening meal made the diet more do-able for the masses. And besides, there are some benefits to cooked foods. Some nutrients, such as lycopene in tomatoes, a powerful antioxidant, are more bioavailable when cooked.
There are other things built into The Hallelujah Diet that are extremely important. Every component has its reason for being there, and leaving out any one thing will usually reduce the effectiveness of the program.
For instance, it is almost impossible to get enough nutrients to the cellular level of the body by simply eating raw fruits and vegetables, along with seeds and nuts, because we lose over 65% of the nutrients in the digestive process. So on The Hallelujah Diet, we concentrate nutrients in the form of raw vegetable juices and BarleyMax.
By removing the fiber before putting the food into the body (as we do when we juice), we minimize the digestion needed. Thus, these concentrated nutrients can go more rapidly to cellular level without nutrient loss or energy drain. When we juice, over 90% of the nutrients reach cellular level, compared to less than 35% reaching cellular level when we send the whole food through the digestive tract.
We also found that the diet was very low in vitamin B-12 and healthy fats, and so we added a sublingual vitamin B-12 supplement and Omega 3 fatty acid. And recently we realized most people were deficient in Vitamin D3, and so that was added.
How to begin The Hallelujah Diet
There are two ways to begin: ‘cold turkey’ or make slow changes over a period of time. ‘Cold turkey’ has proven to be the easiest and most effective way for the majority of people who have gone on our program. When a person goes on The Hallelujah Diet ‘cold turkey’, there is anywhere from a few days to a few weeks of potential detoxification — maybe experiencing a mild headache, some nausea, fatigue, pimple outbreak, diarrhea, etc., as stored toxins exit the body.
However, the majority of people who use the “cold turkey” approach (over 60%) do not even realize they are going through this detoxification process. Thus, and usually quite quickly, the person is on the other side, already experiencing increased energy and physical improvement. These rapid improvements become motivation to stay with the program.
Making slow changes is usually more traumatic, because each time we put into our body an addictive food (sugar, animal product, table salt, white flour product, caffeine, etc.), the body craves more of that addictive substance. This can cause a yo-yo effect, and people often become discouraged because they are trying to improve but not experiencing desired results.
So as we start the New Year 2010, I trust many of you will join Rhonda and me on The Hallelujah Diet.
Hallelujah Acres Active in Nigeria, Africa
Dec 26th
Hallelujah Acres is a Christian Ministry dedicated to teaching the world how to eliminate sickness. We started Hallelujah Acres in 1992, and in 1994 we began teaching others how they could help us reach the world with our Health Message. We graduated 25 from our first Health Ministry training in August of 1994, and since then over 9,000 additional people have completed our Health Ministers training, and are today located in every state in the United States as well as in 44 foreign lands.
From time to time these Health Ministers will write to share with me what is happening in their respective ministries. The following letter was received this past week from Health Minister and Pastor Gloria Davies who is ministering in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, Africa.
Nigeria is on the west coast of central Africa and borders the Atlantic Ocean. Plateau State is the 12th largest state in Nigeria, located in the center of the country. Its capital is Jos. Plateau State is celebrated as “The Home of Peace and Tourism”, an image that has been fractured in recent years by Muslim-Christian clashes. Plateau State gets its name from Jos Plateau, and has a population of 3.5 million people.
“Dear Rev. Malkmus: Christmas greetings to you and the staff at Hallelujah Acres. My name is Gloria Emmanuel Davies, Health Minister from Nigeria. I am doing great after having adopted the Hallelujah Diet ten years ago following my being diagnosed with breast cancer. After recovering from both breast cancer and arthritis after adopting the Hallelujah Diet, I came to America and took your Health Minister training and then came back to my country to help my people with their health issues.
I want you to know that I am still experiencing excellent health ten years after adopting the Hallelujah Diet and remaining faithful to the diet these many years. And yes, I still feel great as I daily drink my vegetable juices and BarleyMax and take the other Hallelujah Acres supplements.
With the grace of God and the great energy I derive from eating God’s way to help me, I run my intercessory ministry, my private school and wellness center Shekinah Wellness Center, which was started after the Lord burdened my heart to help others realize that they ‘don’t have to be sick’.
This year, our Wellness Center was officially opened by our Deputy Government, and the President of the Church of Christ in Nigeria. It was a very memorable occasion with fellow Health Minister Pat Ojemini in attendance, and the event was featured on our local television.
I have held ten church seminars in Nigeria. One pastor in Bauchi organized a seminar to help reach other pastors with God’s Health Message. Approximately 150 sick persons have visited our Wellness Center and we have lots of testimonies of persons being healed from arthritis, IBS, weight issues, cancer, etc., all to the Glory of God.
At the Wellness Center we sell fresh made vegetable juices, salads, and provide a gym, massage, colon irrigation, and a prayer hut. The ‘HALLELUJAH FEVER’ is spreading fast all over our country and it’s exciting what God is doing. What joy it is to see the faces of those who came to us sick, leaving with smiles on their faces knowing that there is now hope for their many infirmities.
We have been interviewed twice on our local television station and that has enabled me to spread the good news about God’s Way to Ultimate Health. I just finished our 2nd annual ‘Restoring God’s Temple’ health conference this past Saturday and it was well attended. This conference resulted in my having opportunity to appear on our national television program called ‘AM Express’ which was viewed across the country of Nigeria.
I was asked to talk about Healthy Living, and The Hallelujah Diet was the topic.
By the grace of God we will in January 2010 start publishing a bi monthly journal, proudly presenting the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle. I covet your prayers as I have come under attack many times by those who oppose God’s Health Message.
Thank you Rev. Malkmus and Rhonda for starting Hallelujah Acres and for all the information you have shared so freely. Living in health is a choice and I have chosen to enjoy this life that God has given me in health. Thanks a million! Keep the Health Flag flying in the midst of opposition! The Hallelujah Diet is still the truth that sets us free from disease and sickness. (John 8:32). God bless you”

Colonial Bread
Dec 24th
Available in the Store!
This being the last issue of the Hallelujah Health Tip for 2009, we will end the year with a bread recipe. Colonial Bread is found on page 185 of Rhonda’s beautiful 269-page, spiral bound, Hallelujah Holiday Recipes – From God’s Garden book which we have been featuring recipes from for the past month or so.
This recipe, though it contains some white flour to keep the bread from becoming too heavy, was a tremendous hit in our first restaurant in Rogersville, Tennessee back in 1992 and 1993. The bread was made in small individual loaves and served with salads and soups. The original individual loaf pan we used to make this bread is now in a memorabilia display in our new Hallelujah Acres Café in Shelby, North Carolina.
If you have opportunity to visit Hallelujah Acres during the New Year 2010, I trust you will plan on enjoying lunch in our new and upgraded vegan Hallelujah Café, with its enlarged menu, and tasty offerings. Included in the new Entrees is an Herb Crusted Papaya “Salmon” which looks like the real thing. Another offering is a Marinated Portobello Berger. My favorite is a Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Pizza with white sauce and onions made with macadamia cheese served with a house salad.
