1 Nutrition Ministry of Healing
Our bodies are built up of the foods we eat. There is a
constant breaking down of tissues of the body .Every movement of every organ
involves waste. And this waste is repaired from our food. The food should be
chosen to supply the elements we need. In order to know what are the best foods we
must study God’s original plan for man’s diet. Grains, fruits, nuts and
vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us. These foods prepare in a simple
and natural a manner as possible are the most healthful and nourishing. They impart
a strength ,power of endurance and a vigor of intellect that is not afforded by
a more complex and stimulating diet.
2 Exercise
The faith I live .EG White
One of the
first laws of the being is the law of action. God has appointed labour is a
blessing to man. When the brain is constantly taxed while the other organs of
the living machinery are inactive there is loss of strength ,physical and
mental.
Ministry of Healing
Inactivity is the fruitful cause of disease .Exercise quickens and equalizes the circulation of the blood. In idleness the blood
does not circulates freely and the change in it so necessary to life and
health does not takes place.
Walking is preferable to riding or driving for it brings more of the
muscles into exercise.Such exercise would in many cases be better for the
health than medicine.

Faith I live: E.G. White

victims of intemperate are men of all classes, they have lost their self
control.
In relationship to tea, coffee and tobacco and alcoholic
drinks the only safe course is not to touch not to taste not to handle. Abstain
from harmful indulgencies, and fleshy lust . Strictly temperate habits combined
with exercise would ensure both mental and physical vigor.
6 Air:
Ministry of Healing E.G.White
The lungs should not be deprived of pure fresh air. Full
deep inspiration of pure air should fill the lungs. Out of doors amidst the things
that God has made the sick, breathing the fresh health giving air can best be told of the new life in Jesus Christ.
Encourage them to breathe the fresh air, encourage them to breathe deeply.
7 Rest

Keeping Late Hours
The practice
of sitting up late at night is customary
but it is not pleasing to God. These un -timely hours are injure to the health
and make unfit the mind for the next day’s duties.
Ministry of Healing E.G. White
Some make
themselves sick by over working ,for these freedom from care and a sparse diet are
essential to restoration of health. Those who have broken down from mental labor
should have rest from wearing thoughts

Trust In God: Ministry Of Healing E.G White
Put
your faith and belief in God. Look not to self but to Christ. He who healed the sick and cast out demons when he walked
among men is still the mighty redeemer. God often permit those in whom we place
confidence to fail us in order that we
may learn the folly of trusting in man and making the flesh our arm. Let us
trust fully and humble ourselves before God.
