“Sickness, suffering, and deathare work of an antagonisticpower. Satan is the destroyer;God is the restorer.”Ministry of Healing, page 113

Is there no balm in Gilead?

What Would Jesus Do If He Was Here?“And Jesus went aboutall Galilee, teaching intheir synagogues, andpreaching the gospel ofthe kingdom, andhealing all manner ofsickness and diseaseamong the people.”Matthew 4:23We Should Do ASimilar Work!

Some Compelling Reasons To Do HealthMinistry We have a mandate from the Scriptures and theSpirit of Prophecy to do this Churches can have a large impact on reducinghealth disparities, as our health care system hasfailed to do this A healthy lifestyle has been shown to improve thelength and quality of life Churches are often located in or near inner cityand impoverished communities

The Biblical Mandate “And a certain man was there, which had aninfirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus sawhim lie, and knew that he had been now a longtime in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou bemade whole?” John 5: 5&6 “But when he saw the multitudes, he was movedwith compassion on them, because they fainted,and were scattered abroad as sheep having noshepherd.” Matthew 9:36

Caring For The Temple“What? Know ye not thatyour body is the templeof the Holy Ghost whichis in you, which ye haveof God, and ye are notyour own? For ye arebought with a price:therefore glorify God inyour body, and in yourspirit, which are God’s”I Corinthians 6:19&20

The Spirit of Prophecy Mandate “I saw that it was a sacred duty to attend toour health and arouse others to their duty.”The Great Visions of Ellen G. White. Page 93 “I was again shown that the health reform isone branch of the great work which is to fita people for the coming of the Lord. It is asclosely connected with the third angel’smessage as the hand is with the body.”Counsels on Diet and Foods, Page 69

The Spirit of Prophecy Mandate“When properly conducted, the healthwork is an entering wedge, makingway for other truths to reach theheart.”Counsels on Diet and Foods, Page 73

“The health reform, I was shown, is apart of the third angel’s message and isjust as closely connected with it as arethe arm and hand with the humanbody”“I wish to tell you that soon there willbe no work done in ministerial lines butmedical missionary work.”(Counsels on Health, page 533)(First Vol. of Testimonies to theChurch, pg. 486)“Greater reforms should be seenamong the people who claim to belooking for the soon appearing ofChrist. Health reform is to doamong our people a work which ithas not yet done.”“And this gospel of thekingdom shall be preached inall the world for a witness untoall nations; and then shall theend come.”Matthew 24:14“God has permitted the light of healthreform to shine upon us in these lastdays, that by walking in the light wemay escape many of the dangers towhich we shall be exposed.”(Counsels on Diet and Foods, pg. 22)(Review and Herald May 27, 1902)“I have been instructed that we are not todelay to do the work that needs to be done inhealth reform lines. Through this work we areto reach souls in the highways and thebyways.”(Counsels on Diet and Foods, pg. 76)“I can see in the Lord’s providence that themedical missionary work is to be a greatentering wedge, whereby the diseased soul maybe reached.”(Counsels on Diet and Foods, pg. 76)Prophecy and the HealthMessage

A Simple But Powerful MessageTrue Remedies“Pure air. sunlight,abstemiousness, rest,exercise, proper diet,the use of water, trustin divine power—theseare the true remedies”The Ministry of Healing, RESTTRUST IN GOD

It Started With A VisionIn June, 1863 Ellen G.White received her firstmajor health reformvision. She receivedother visions on healthand wrote an extensivebody of informationthat serves as theframework for ourhealth ministry today.“I saw that it was asacred duty to attendto our health, andarouse others totheir duty” Ms 1, p 6

Lifestyle and our healthEllen White taught that much-perhapsmost-of disease and illness originatedwith the “violation of the laws ofhealth” (Today we call this lifestyle)The Great Visions of Ellen G. White,pg. 93
