The Birth Of Hallelujah Acres – The Rest Of The Story
Jan 17th
In last week’s Health Tip I shared how God used what appeared to be a tragedy in my life – a colon cancer diagnosis in 1976 – to birth a ministry known today as “Hallelujah Acres.”
The late Paul Harvey used to say: “Now for the rest of the story.” In this Health Tip I want to pick up where we left off last week with how God used a change in diet to eliminate my cancer and restore health to my body by sharing how additional events in my life ultimately led to the starting of a health ministry we today call Hallelujah Acres.
I want to begin by sharing another verse in the Bible that had great bearing in the development of the Hallelujah Acres ministry. This verse is found in Galatians 6:9:
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if WE FAINT NOT.”
On July 4, 1976 the church I was pastoring held a huge 4th of July service in a downtown theater in Glens Falls, New York. It was attended by over 500 people.
Immediately after that service, I got in my car and drove to Blue Ridge, Georgia where for several weeks I sat under the teachings of Dr. Carry Rheams.
I was already on the Genesis 1:29 diet, had already learned a lot about the body and its ability to heal itself and had already experienced significant healing. But I had a hunger to learn more about diet and lifestyle. From Dr. Rheams I learned how to help detoxify the body with lemon juice, and rebuild the body with raw, green drinks.
By 1977 I was well and still pastor of the Greater Glens Falls Bible Baptist Church in Hudson Falls, New York.
It was around this time it dawned on me that the healing I had experienced by a simple diet and lifestyle change could also help other Christians recover from their physical problems. I wanted to share that information.
First On My List: Fellow Preachers
I started taking this healing knowledge to fellow preachers. To say the least, it was not received well!
In fact, fellow preachers didn’t receive what I had to share about a changed diet any better than they had received Evangelist Lester Roloff’s efforts to change their diets and lifestyles years earlier.
I started to get discouraged. I knew I had a health message based on God’s original diet as given by God Himself in Genesis 1:29. I knew that it could eliminate most sicknesses from the Christian community but no one would listen.
In 1978 I left the church I had established in 1970 and obtained a job as lecturer and head gardener at the Shangri La Health Resort in Bonita Springs, Florida where I remained until 1980. This was a Natural Hygiene Fasting Resort and while there I had opportunity to listen to many Natural Hygiene doctors and learned so much more about how diet affects our health.
The Health Insurance Salesman
By 1980 I was still drifting, didn’t have much financially, and didn’t know what God would have me to do with my life.
During my many years as a pastor I had never had an income greater than $150.00 a week plus housing and felt it was time to provide my family with some of the things I had been unable to provide them in previous years.
So in 1981 I responded to an ad to be an insurance agent for the National Association for the Self Employed (NASE) which promised a significant income. First I had to get my license to sell insurance which I obtained and for the next six years sold health insurance to small business owners throughout the state of Florida.
As an insurance agent, I learned a lot about health insurance and was able sell more policies than any of the other 1,200 NASE agents for a number of years. I was even featured on their recruiting videos.
The reason I was able to sell so many policies was because I was honest in the presentation. Rather than selling policies with high premiums, I showed business owners how they, by taking a higher deductible, could save enough in monthly premiums to more than make up the cost of a lower deductible in the event they became sick and needed to use the policy.
Another reason I believe I did so well selling health insurance was that I was more concerned about helping the small business owner save some money than selling a policy with a higher premium that would bring me greater financial reward.
In 1986 I came home one weekend to find the furniture had been moved out of the house and my wife Janet had filed for divorce. I had been on the road selling insurance from Monday to Saturday every week for six years and no doubt this helped bring about this devastating departure after 36 years of marriage. Janet went home to be with Jesus not many years later.
The Move To Tennessee
With no furniture, no place to live, and no reason to be on the road living in motels selling insurance anymore, I stopped selling insurance and moved to a 50-acre tract of land I had previously purchased in Eidson, Tennessee. I started out living in a tent and then graduated to a 8×32 trailer while building a home.
While building that house I began writing a book on a typewriter (computers were not in vogue as yet) and this was quite a challenge. But I still had a burning passion to get God’s Health Message out to the Christian Community, which was just as sick and the world’s community.
The title of the book: “Why Christians Get Sick.”
I had never written a book before and had a lot to learn. It took me several years to write the book and then I couldn’t find a publisher. So I ended up taking everything I had financially to self-publish the book at a local print shop. The owner of that print shop had defeated diabetes and prevented the amputation of his foot by adopting The Hallelujah Diet.
I thought for sure that once my book was in print, everyone would want to buy my book and learn how they too could improve their health through a simple diet and lifestyle change based on that Genesis 1:29 diet that had restored my health back in 1976.
But to my consternation, no one wanted to buy my book.
It was now 1989 and I had struck out once again. I still had a passion to get God’s health message out to the Christian community, and now 13 years later years later, after spending several years writing a book and all I had on its publishing, still no one wanted to receive God’s health message.
All through these years, from 1976 to 1989, God was allowing various circumstances in my life to bring me to that place I had been trying to get to for the previous 14 years; the acceptance of the Health Message God had laid on my heart in 1976.
But there was one more major setback necessary before I found some light at the end of the tunnel.
Then My House Burned Down
On Christmas Eve 1989, while away for the evening celebrating the birth of Jesus, my house burned to the ground along with all remaining copies of my book “Why Christians Get Sick.”
Where do I go, what do I do now?
I had lost my wife and now had lost my home, and almost all the copies of the book I had written. I guess I had a little inkling of how Job must have felt when all those bad things happened to him.
But I was about to enter the last chapter of the book of Job where God restored him and blessed him beyond measure.
A friend who owned an antique mall on Main Street in Rogersville, Tennessee offered me a job as manager, along with a room above the antique mall in which in which I could live without rent or paying utilities.
Another friend loaned me a bed, table, and chair, and I purchased a small refrigerator. The folks in the church I was attending at the time gave me some clothes. Fortunately, there was a bathroom and sink near that room above the antique mall where I was able to continue juicing my carrots and it was there I lived and worked.
Continuing my burden to get out God’s health message, I stocked a booth in the antique store with healthy offerings and nutritional books, including my book “Why Christians Get Sick,” which I had managed to get a new printing of. I also began counseling those who showed interest in improving their health.
“For In Due Season Thou Shall Reap If Thou Faint Not”
At the invitation of the owners of the Hales Spring Inn, just a few doors from the antique mall where I lived and worked, I started holding free “How to Eliminate Sickness” seminars in the lobby of that hotel.
If five people showed up I was excited. It was in one of those early seminars in 1991, before Hallelujah Acres had its beginning in 1992; that God brought a very special person into my life, a person who was going to help me fulfill the vision I had had since 1976 to get God’s health message out to the Christian community.
Rhonda was to be that very special person but I didn’t know it yet. And here she was in my seminar because she had a booth in the store in which I worked.
She came to the seminar because I had learned that she had debilitating rheumatoid arthritis (the result of being hit by a freight train in 1981) and I had invited her to the seminar.
To make a long story short, Rhonda took heed to what I was teaching, adopted God’s Genesis 1:29 diet, and within than a year her rheumatoid arthritis was gone, she had lost 85 pounds in weight, and she was well.
Her healing led to a casual relationship in the beginning. She worked directly across the street from the antique mall and would come over during her lunch break. I would fix her an organic tomato sandwich on whole grain bread, and over lunch we would talk about diet and health. Over time, these lunch dates started love bells ringing.
Together we started Hallelujah Acres on February 12, 1992 in an 11-foot wide store front located between the Hale Springs Inn and the antique mall. We put in tables and chairs for 16 people and started serving carrot juice by the glass, other vegetarian fare, and each Saturday morning I shared my health message, “You Don’t Have to be Sick.”
Two months after Hallelujah Acres was birthed in that 11-foot-wide store front, Rhonda and I were married on April 11, 1992 — and our life has been a whirlwind ever since!
We have seen Hallelujah Acres grow from a ma-and-pa operation in a store front in a little town in Tennessee in 1992 to a worldwide ministry 20 years later.
On February 12, 2012 Hallelujah Acres will celebrate its 20th birthday, and on April 11, 2012, Rhonda and I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. To God be the Glory, great things HE HAS DONE!
Today, I can truly say with the Scriptures:
“And we know that all good things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
And I can also agree with that other Scripture I shared at the beginning of this article:
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
With all the roadblocks the devil put in my path between 1976 and 1992, it would have been so very easy to throw in the towel and lose the vision, but I thank God He never allowed me to do that.
As I write this, I find myself just two years from my 80th birthday. The vision and passion that the whole world might know ‘You Don’t Have to be Sick’ that I first had way back in 1976 is still alive and well in my heart and mind! I am thrilled that God has allowed it to become a reality in my lifetime.
If God has given you a vision of something that is good and positive and that can help your fellow man, don’t let the devil take that vision from you!
On February 4, 2012, at my First Saturday of the month, “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” seminar at Hallelujah Acres International Headquarters in Shelby, North Carolina, Hallelujah Acres will celebrate its 20th Anniversary. In addition to the seminar, many special things are planned for that day including a healthy birthday cake to be enjoyed by all who attend the seminar that day. Y’all come!
Next Week, the good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high, we will pick up where we have left off here with the opening of that store front in 1992 and share how Hallelujah Acres has grown in the past 20 years to the worldwide ministry it is today, helping millions around the world eliminate their physical problems. I trust you will join us as we continue to share the rest of the story.
The Birth of Hallelujah Acres
Jan 10th
I am a Christian! I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God! Yes, I believe that:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
(II Timothy 3:16-17)
In fact, I believe the Bible so much that in the margins of my Bible, opposite Genesis 1:1 where we read “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”, I have penned the words “AND I BELIEVE ALL THE REST!”
However, 36 years ago there was a verse in the Bible I questioned. It is found in Romans 8:28…
“And we know that all things ‘work together for good’ to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Thirty-six years ago, at the age of 42, I was told I had colon cancer. Though I believed the Bible, I had to question how Romans 8:28 could fit the situation I found myself in. How could a cancer in my body “work together for good”?
God Used Various Circumstances
God used various circumstances in my life to prepare me for “such a time as this.” You see, I was raised by a mother who was a registered nurse, a graduate of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City.
Mother raised me to believe that when I got sick I should get to the doctor just as quickly as possible because the doctor was the only one capable of making me well.
So when my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 59, in keeping with what she believed and what she had taught me, she very willing submitted her body to the treatments the doctors told her were necessary. She had great faith in doctors and medical modalities.
Mother submitted her body to surgery, chemotherapy, and cobalt treatments (called radiation treatments today). Her death was a slow and agonizing one following these treatments. Though no single one of these treatments killed her, she was in and out of the hospital until she died at the age of 65.
At the time of mother’s death I was convinced that it wasn’t the cancer that ultimately caused her death, but the cumulative damage done to her immune system by the many treatments she had received.
Because her immune system had been so compromised by the treatments she had received, her body finally had to give up and give in. I remember saying “good-bye” to my mother as we placed her in the grave. It is a very sad event that you do not soon forget!
Now It Was My Turn
Now picture this if you will… I have just watched my mother go through this horrible cancer experience and death when I am told that I have the same form of cancer she had.
I was scared. How should I respond? What should I do?
Mother had raised me to put my faith in doctors. She instilled in my mind from my earliest remembrance that “when you get sick you go to the doctor and do what he says.”
But I had just seen mother get sick, I had seen her go to the doctor, and I had seen the horrible consequences of doing what the doctors said.
Should I do what mother had programmed me to do while growing up? Or should I seek an alternative way of dealing with it?
Breaking a lifetime of programming by your mother is not an easy thing to do.
How I Broke The Programming
But because of the horrible suffering and eventual death I had seem my mother experience following her acceptance of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, I broke programming and went searching for an alternative.
That search led me to an Evangelist friend in Texas by the name of Lester Roloff.
Brother Roloff was a great preacher but he had some very strange ideas about how we should feed the body, ideas totally contrary to the programming I had received for the previous 42 years of my life. Brother Roloff taught that we should not eat animal flesh but rather only the plant foods that came from the garden.
For his dietary ideas, Brother Roloff received lots of ridicule and rejection from fellow preachers! And I must admit that I had joined in with fellow preachers in ridiculing his admonitions to eat a plant-based diet and drink lots of carrot juice.
In fact, we preachers used to affectionately call him “Ole Carrot Juice Roloff.”
But now I had a dilemma. Though I had previously ridiculed Brother Roloff’s beliefs and his efforts to get fellow preachers to eat a plant-based diet, I had been told I had a serious and potentially life-threatening physical problem.
Perhaps it was time to reevaluate what he had been teaching and listen to what he had to say.
So I contacted Brother Roloff and shared my dilemma. His response was that I not go the medical route with my cancer, but rather do something as simple as change what I had been eating for the previous 42 years of my life. He told me to eat only what God told Adam he should eat in Genesis 1:29. He also encouraged me to drink a lot of carrot juice.
How Cancer Can “Work Together For Good”
Thinking I had nothing to lose by accepting Brother Roloff’s advice — and a lot better than accepting the horrible medical modalities that I felt had caused my mother’s death — I changed my diet overnight. I stopped eating animal flesh, stopped all forms of dairy, eliminated all refined sugar, refined grains, and all forms of caffeine.
The next day I ate nothing but raw, plant sourced foods and began drinking lots of carrot juice and distilled water. That was quite a drastic change from what I had previously been eating!
But the amazing thing was that after a few days of not feeling well (detoxing – as my body was throwing off accumulated poisons), I began to feel better.
Within a very short time my rectal bleeding stopped and within a year my baseball size tumor had disappeared and I was well! WOW! Within a year I had learned that “all things (CAN) work together for good”!
Hallelujah Acres Is Born
I was a preacher. I was saved at a Billy Graham Crusade in New York City on May 29, 1957, went to school for four years to prepare for the ministry, pastored various churches for many years, preached some 5,000 biblically-based messages, and read through the scriptures Genesis to Revelation in daily devotions most years. I thought I knew the Bible quite well.
But Brother Roloff had to re-introduce me to a verse in the Bible (Genesis 1:29) that I had probably read hundreds of times; it had just never registered. In this verse God had given Adam a diet intended to nourish his human physical body.
Who would know better what was proper nourishment for the human physical body than the creator of that body?
Now, at the encouragement of Brother Roloff, I had accepted and consumed that same Genesis 1:29 diet that God gave to Adam. Within a year of adopting it, my cancer was gone and I was well.
What should I do with this experience and knowledge?
Yes, not only did “all things work together for good” as far as my own physical health was concerned, but now God was using that same cancer experience to show me once again that “all things work together for good” when He led me to start a ministry called Hallelujah Acres. Little did I know it would bring health and healing to millions around the world.
On February 12, 2012, Hallelujah Acres will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Next week, the good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high, we will share how God used “all things working together for good” to take Hallelujah Acres from just a vision to a reality – from a ma and pa ministry in 1992 – to a worldwide ministry today. Trust you will join us.
Why Flu Shots Are Bad For Your Brain
Jan 7th
Each year around this time, there is intense pressure from government, doctors, and local pharmacies encouraging people to get their annual flu shots – especially the very young and old – and this year is no exception.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, renowned neurosurgeon and editor of the Blaylock Wellness Report has some very interesting things to say about these flu shots:
“I’ve never seen anything like it. The incidence of flu across the United States is extremely low – there are virtually no outbreaks – and not a single child has died. Yet, the flu vaccine is being pushed as if it’s the greatest health advance ever discovered.”
Dr. Blaylock then goes on to say “the vaccine is worthless, and the government knows it.” He shares the three reasons the government tells the elderly they should get the flu shots: “secondary pneumonia, hospitalization, and death.” Yet a study by the Cochrane group studied hundreds of thousands of people and found it offered zero protection for those three things.
Dr. Blaylock then turns his attention to the very young:
“The government says that every baby over the age of six months should have a vaccine, and they know it contains a dose of mercury that is toxic to the brain. They also know the studies have shown that the flu vaccine has zero – zero – effectiveness in children.”
“Here’s the bottom line: The vast number of people who get the flu vaccine aren’t going to get any benefit, but they get all of the risks and complications.”
Few people realize that flu vaccines contain mercury, a potent toxin that accumulates in the brain as well as in other organs. Dr. Blayock says mercury is “incorporated into the brain for a lifetime.” And “after five or 10 years of flu shots, enough mercury accumulates in the brain that every single study agrees its neurotoxic.”
“Mercury is extremely toxic to the brain even in very small concentrations . . . . The changes seen in the brain associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are all easily produced by mercury in these doses.”
Dr. Blaylock notes that if a senior citizen receives an annual flu shot for five consecutive years, they increase their potential for Alzheimer’s by 1,000 percent.
Mercury is also a strong immune depressant. Just one flu shot suppresses the immune system’s ability to protect the individual who received the shot for several weeks. Dr. Blaylock says that a person receiving the flu shot “makes people highly susceptible to catching the flu”, rather than protecting them from the flu.
EDITOR’S NOTE – Dr. Blaylock says that flu isn’t a big risk, especially this year. But whether a mild or severe outbreak is expected, a flu shot is NOT the best way to protect one’s self. The best way is through a change in diet and lifestyle which rebuilds the immune system, a diet similar to The Hallelujah Diet.
This editor certainly found this to be true! Before my diet change 36 years ago, most every year I came down with the flu. Since adopting a primarily raw, 100% plant-based diet, and plenty of vegetable juices, I haven’t come down with the flu even once. In fact, I haven’t experienced a cold in the 36-years since making the diet change, either.
Furthermore, I have never received a flu shot, nor would I ever allow flu vaccine to be injected to my body. Why? Because I have done the research and know the potential dangers risks associated with a flu shot.
Instead, I have strengthened my immune system through a healthy diet and lifestyle. I would rather utilize the protection God build into my body than rely on a man-made poison. God’s ways are far above man’s ways as the Bible so clearly tells us:
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile (does harm to) the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.” (I Corinthians 3:16-19)
It’s Time To Take Control Of Your Health
Jan 3rd
Since equipping my body to heal itself of colon cancer in 1976 — by taking control of my own health without doctors or drugs — I have attempted to encourage others to take control of their own health as well.
I have attempted to do this through seminars (hundreds of them), printed page (wrote 5 books), electronic Health Tips (written over 700), radio, television, and personal contact.
Why?
Because, no one can truly enjoy life if they are constantly in pain, going to doctors, taking drugs, and experiencing sickness. And of course no one enjoys paying the bills resulting from the treating of all these physical problems.
Nor can we properly serve the Lord or fulfill the ministry to which God has called us without a healthy body.
Dear friend, if we are going to enjoy life and have a body fit for the Master’s use, we must have a healthy body!
Do you have any idea who determines whether our bodies are healthy or not? HINT – The answer is not your doctor, or even God!
Who Controls Our Health?
In most instances the only one who determines whether we have a healthy body or not is the person to whom God gave that body. We have control over it and we must also take responsibility for maintaining it in good health.
It’s all up to you and me!
Like a prized possession, God has entrusted each of us with a body and holds us responsible for its care — that is, proper nourishment and maintenance.
Consider carefully what the Bible has to say about who bears responsibility for our body’s nourishment, care, and maintenance:
“I beseech YOU therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present YOUR bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is YOUR reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.”
(Romans 12:1-2)
Again in Galations, the Bible says we are responsible regarding whether we have a healthy body or not:
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man (or women) soweth, that shall he (or she) also reap.”
(Galatians 6:7)
Now, while the vast majority of people around us are in an unhealthy state, constantly going to doctors, treating physical problems, taking drugs, and paying lots of money to cover the costs of the treatment of these illnesses…
There are growing numbers of people who have taken control of their health, rid themselves of all their physical and psychological problems (and associated high costs), and they don’t get sick anymore.
How does one go about taking control of their health and eliminating all their physical and psychological problems, along with their accompanying costs?
Have you any idea how to answer that question?
There is an answer and it is the answer to that question we will be dealing with for the rest of this article.
How To Take Control of Your Health
The only way a person can recover from their constantly reoccurring physical problems and eliminate those recurring health care costs is to take control of their own health.
The only way to accomplish that is by changing their diet and lifestyle. And let me add that God is not going to do it for a person what they can do for themselves!
In order to take control of our health we need to change the way we think about how we nourish this beautiful physical body temple God has provided each of us.
Why do you eat and drink what you do?
Have you ever considered that what you are eating and drinking might have something to do with the physical problems you experience?
Consider what God has to say about how we should not take care of these physical bodies we each possess:
“And be not conformed to this world: . . . .”
(Romans 12:2)
And for confirmation that this scripture is talking about our physical bodies, read Romans 12:1 where it says we should:
“present our bodies a living sacrifice . . . .”
What Others Are Experiencing
I am thrilled to report that over the past 20 years, tens of thousands have taken charge of their own health by adopting The Hallelujah Diet. As a result, these people have recovered from over 170 different physical problems, including even terminal, Stage 4, metastasized cancers, and they don’t get sick anymore.
Why do people who adopt The Hallelujah Diet experience such spectacular results?
The answer is really quite simple: When God designed these physical bodies we each possess; He designed them to be nourished with a certain type of fuel. The fuel God designed our bodies to run on can only be found in the garden.
When we fuel our bodies with the garden foods God designed our physical bodies to be nourished with, our bodies run the way God designed them to run – IN HEALTH!
But when we place into our bodies the wrong fuels, our bodies run poorly, we get sick, and our bodies begin to fail us.
We each, as individuals, are the ones who determine whether our body will be healthy or not by what we choose to place into them in the form of food or drink each and every day of our lives.
In other words, we – not God or our doctor – determines whether we live in health or sickness.
As shared earlier, God said: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man (or women) soweth, that shall he (or she) also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
This works both ways – sow health and you will reap health – sow disease and you will reap disease. Our health is simply the outworking of God’s law of sowing and reaping.
Thirty-six years ago I learned the simple but profound truth that my health or lack thereof was a result of what I sowed.
After learning this truth in 1976, I changed my diet and lifestyle at age 42, recovered from colon cancer, and rid my body of all other physical problems. All without doctors or medical modalities.
As I write this, I am only two years from my 80th birthday, having enjoyed excellent health ever since making that diet and lifestyle change in 1976 at the age of 42.
Cause Of Physical Breakdown
When we get sick, that physical breakdown is in most instances merely the body responding or reacting to the wrong fuel (what we eat and drink), and/or living the wrong lifestyle.
Almost every physical problems (other than accidents) whether obesity or being underweight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, colds, the flu, acid stomach, headache, psychological problems, pimples, etc., are merely the body reacting to the wrong fuel.
As we stop putting in the wrong fuel and begin putting in the right fuel and begin exercising, the body will almost always begin the process of healing.
You see, God placed self-healing into each of our bodies and proper diet and lifestyle activates that self-healing so that the body can do what God designed it to do – which is heal itself.
Twenty years ago, a gentleman wrote me a letter stating that within six months of adopting The Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle, he lost 60 pounds and saw 28 different physical problems disappear from his body. In fact, this same gentleman came to one of my seminars this year and said he hasn’t been sick since making that diet and lifestyle change 20 years ago.
That story is not uncommon. Here at Hallelujah Acres, personal experience and the testimonies of tens-of-thousands have revealed that within six months or less of making a diet and lifestyle change, most people can halt or reverse at least 90% of all their physical and psychological problems — and they don’t get sick anymore.
What Is The Hallelujah Diet?
Typically, a diet is something a person does for a period of time to obtain a desired result. After they obtain that desired result (or get tired of doing the diet), they return to their old ways of eating. A person on a diet like this may experience improvements, but when they return to their old habits, the problems usually return.
On the other hand, a LIFESTYLE change is something a person does for the rest of their life. This is really what The Hallelujah Diet is all about!
The Hallelujah Diet is the culmination of nearly 40 years of personal experiences, scientific research, and evaluating the personal testimonies of tens of thousands of others sharing what worked and what did not work for them.
During this time I have studied almost every alternative health modality available. I spent two years studying Natural Hygiene at the Shangra-La Resort in Florida; studied under Dr. Ann Wigmore in Boston; sat at the feet of Dr. Cary Rheams; studied the writings of Dr. Norman Walker, Paul Bragg, Dr. Max Gerson, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Neil Bernard, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Russell Blaylock, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, and a host of others.
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 — the diet God gave to Adam and all mankind:
“AND GOD SAID, Behold I have given you every herb (vegetable) bearing seed, 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).”
(Genesis 1:29)
God told Adam (and through Adam, the whole human race) how the physical body should be nourished. The formula was simple: the nutrients found in living plants – fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts.
This original diet, given by God to mankind, contained no animal flesh or dairy, no refined sugars or grains, no hydrogenated oils, no refined foods, no cooked foods, no chemical additives, and no artificial anything.
It is the foundation upon which I compared everything I was learning. If it fit and agreed with what God told us we should consume as fuel in Genesis 1:29, I pursued it further – but if it didn’t – I cast it aside as not worthy of consideration.
Next week, the good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high, we will explain more about The Hallelujah Diet and how best to introduce it into your body so that you can take control of your own health, eliminate present physical and psychological problems, and have a body fit for the Master’s use. Trust you will join us!
2012 – Time To Try Something New?
Dec 27th
On January 1, 2012 we will all begin a “NEW” Year. In the last book of the Bible, we find a passage about a coming day when Jesus will proclaim: “Behold, I make all things ‘NEW’”. (Revelation 21:8)
As we anticipate the beginning of a new year, I want to challenge you to consider some “new” things that could be helpful to both your physical and spiritual well-being.
The Bible often cautions us with regard to the choices we make. For instance the apostle John admonishes us:
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but TRY the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
(1 John 4:1)
I Was Raised On The Standard American Diet (SAD)
I was raised in a home, being provided items to eat by my mother that were not in my health’s best interest. Now I can’t blame my mother for this, because she was doing the best she knew how based on her knowledge.
Mother was a registered nurse and what she gave me to eat was based in large part on what she was taught about nutrition in Nurses Training, and of course what she was provided to eat by her mother as she was growing up.
What most of us eat today is based on what we were programmed to eat by our parents and what society around us eats.
I was raised on the Standard American Diet (SAD), a diet of meat and dairy at most every meal, with lots of sugary desserts, while almost everything I ate was cooked.
Based upon what I have learned in recent years, this diet was one that was destined to eventually create physical breakdown and problems in future years.
I Continued To Eat The Standard American Diet
Shortly after graduating from high school in 1952, Uncle Sam sent me greetings that my services were required in the U.S. Army for service in the Korean War. Having joined the Naval Reserve in high school, rather than going into the Army, I applied for active duty in the U. S. Navy, where after boot camp I served on a ship for several years.
On that ship, the U.S.S. LST 1041, once again without any input from me or knowledge of what was healthy to eat, I was provided and ate the same SAD diet I had been raised on at home. [LST’s are Landing Ship Tanks, and would beach themselves, open their bow doors, and from the tank deck tanks and troops would come forth to engage the enemy.]
After an honorable discharge from the U. S. Navy in July 1955 I married and guess what I ate? You guessed it, the same SAD diet I had been raised on and eaten during my upbringing at home and during my years in the Navy.
Consequences Of Consuming The Standard American Diet
As a result of consuming this almost 100% cooked food diet (high in animal fat and animal protein with lots of candy, sugar desserts and soft drinks), physical problems that had begun to manifest as a child continued to manifest with increasing frequency and intensity as I grew older.
Pimple outbreaks became more intense and frequent; tooth decay caused me to spend ever increasing hours in dentist chairs; eyesight deterioration developed to the extent I required glasses; hypoglycemia manifested; elevated blood pressure surfaced, and the final blow – in late 1975 was told I had colon cancer.
Not wanting to go the traditional medical route my mother had gone for her colon cancer before me, I went looking for an alternative. Why? Because mother’s experience of going the medical route and accepting their treatments was disastrous.
At mother’s death, I was convinced it wasn’t the cancer that ultimately caused her death. It was the chemotherapy, radiation and surgery that destroyed her immune system, which in turn led to her death.
I believe that most of the deaths attributed to cancer today are caused by the immune destroying treatments used in the treatment of cancer — not by the cancer itself.
On the death certificates of these cancer patients, cause of death should not be listed as “cancer”, but rather “treatments.”
Then I Tried Something “New”
After watching the rapid decline in mother’s health after she started down the medical route for her cancer, I went seeking an alternative.
In my search, I asked the advice of an evangelist in Texas by the name of Lester Roloff. He discouraged me from going the medical route and encouraged me to do something as simple as change what I ate.
He said that if I wanted to get well I needed to stop eating the SAD diet of cooked meat and dairy, and the refined sugar that had destroyed my immune system (and caused my cancer). In its place, he said I needed to start eating the raw garden foods God told Adam to eat in Genesis 1:29, and to drink lots of freshly extracted vegetable juices.
Because I was willing to try something “NEW” (at least it was new to me) my rectal bleeding stopped within days and the baseball-sized tumor in my colon shrunk then disappeared.
Within a year I was well and cancer-free!
Friends, because I was willing to try something “NEW” 36 years ago, I am still alive and well and soon to be 78 years of age. I have already outlived my mother by 12 years who ate the SAD diet and accepted medical modalities for her cancer.
Are You Willing To Try Something “New?”
In both the spiritual and physical realms, there are false prophets trying to lead us in a direction contrary to the way God would have us go, a way contrary to our best interests.
And when a person listens to these false prophets it can lead them ever further away from both spiritual and physical health.
How can we know whether a spirit is of God? We can “try the spirit”:
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this WORD [the Bible], it is because there is no light in them.”
(Isaiah 8:20)“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy WORD is truth.”
(John 17:17)Jesus said: “And ye shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you free.”
(John 8:32)
Many Voices
Friends, there are many voices beckoning us to try various things in both the spiritual and physical realms that can be very destructive to both our physical and spiritual well-being.
Many a person has walked into trouble by trying something new, something they should never have tried in the first place. For instance, that first cigarette or that first drink of alcohol…that first lie…taking something that didn’t belong to them…being unfaithful to a spouse…and we could go on.
And as we look back over our lives, most of us can see how that if we had tested the spirits and never tried that something new, that something that was not in our best interest, that took us in a direction we shouldn’t have gone, or consuming something that wasn’t good for us, how much better our life could have been.
As we go back to the book of Genesis we learn that God gave Adam and Eve a diet in Genesis 1:29. When did God give them that diet? Immediately after He had created them!
This diet God gave them consisted of 100% raw, garden sourced plant foods, the very foods science confirms our physical body was designed to be nourished with.
However, in Genesis 3:1-6 that old serpent the devil comes along and entices Eve to try something “new” (the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil) and she yielded, ate of the forbidden fruit, then gave some to Adam, and he partook. And we all know the result – sin entered the world.
“Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned…For as by one man’s [Adam’s] disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus] shall many be made righteous…That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
(Romans 5:12, 19, 21)
Our Enemy Is Still Trying To Get Us To Try Something New
Today, our enemy, that old serpent the devil, is still trying to get us to try something new — something that is detrimental to our health! — like cigarettes, beer, wine, liquor, soda pop, candy, sugar desserts, cooked animal flesh and dairy, and we could go on.
And what has been the result? Sickness abounds!
Most of the prayer requests in our churches are for sickness, while the cost of treating all this sickness is bankrupting not only our own pocketbooks, but the pocketbook of our nation.
The more we spend treating the symptoms of these physical problems the worse the health of our people.
In contrast, are you my dear friend willing to try something new that is good for you?
If you are not on The Hallelujah Diet, may I encourage you to do so. It’s a diet and lifestyle similar to the one God gave Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden some 6,000 years ago, and the diet I turned to 36 years ago that restored my health.
Your health, length of life, and years of service to Jesus depends on having a body fit for the Master’s use!
And if you have only religion and not Jesus, may you today accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour!
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.”
(See Romans 10:9-13)
With Jesus in our hearts and a body fit for the Master’s use, what an exciting position to be in as we enter the New Year 2012.
Rhonda and I wish you and yours a very blessed, healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year 2012!
Next week, the good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high, we will bring you another exciting and informative Hallelujah Health Tip.
God’s Way To Ultimate Health Seminars – 2012
Dec 19th
It’s hard to believe that in just a few days we will say “good bye” to the old year 2011 and usher in the New Year 2012. It seems the older I get, the faster the years roll by.
Have you experienced that, too?
As I have previously shared, upon my 77th birthday this past February 12, 2011, I announced that I was going to start slowing down on the number of seminars I was going to conduct each year.
In 2011 I began that slowdown by conducting only 25 “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” seminars throughout the year — that’s less than half of my usual schedule!
I don’t know how many I will conduct in 2012, but we already have five scheduled for the first two months of 2012, during the months of January and February.
The first is scheduled for Saturday, January 7th, beginning at 10:00 a.m. right here at our international headquarters in Shelby, North Carolina. There is usually a big crowd for this one because everyone wants to start the New Year off right by eating a healthy diet.
The second seminar is scheduled for January 21st in Altamonte Springs, Florida, just outside of Orlando. In February we have scheduled seminars in Shelby again on the 4th, Tampa, Florida on the 11th, and Jacksonville, Florida on the 18th.
Over the past 20 years, thousands have attended these “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” seminars from across America and around the world. The information helps those who to come to improve and even save their own lives!
If you haven’t already attended one of these seminars, make plans right now to join us in the New Year! There’s no cost and no registration required — just come as you are!
