NEWSTART and the End Time Role

Well, good morning everyone, and a special greeting to our New Start guests who are here from around the world and across the street, and the rest of you as well that have come today to worship.

Let's just ask God to bless us as we look at our theme together.

Father in heaven, bless us as we look at Your Word and send your spirit, we pray, especially at our New Start guests and their family and those who are here for that wonderful program.

Big thanks to the New Start team as well, who led out in the other parts of the service, and for the ministry they have here and then abroad.

The purpose of the Church, the Holy Spirit and the bride say, come and let him who hears say, come, and let whom so thirst come, and whoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.

And that was kind of covered by our wonderful, special music as well.

Why would we live another day without Jesus?

And of course, the body of Christ is the Church.

Why would we live in a way that's disconnected from a source of life?

And New Start is really a source of life.

As I was thinking about what I would say with the New Start guest here, I thought maybe developing the theme dealing with pre-existing conditions would be something we could talk about.

How many of you have heard this in the news at all?

And they actually have numbers, you know, heart disease, You're going to have a lot more possibility of dying from COVID-19 if you have heart disease.

And New Start deals with the treatment of heart disease.

Diabetes, skyrocketing death from the complications of COVID-19 if you have underlying diabetes.

So if you've addressed that this week, it's good news.

Chronic respiratory disease, high blood pressure, cancer, all of these things that you've been working on and actually hopefully stopping, reversing, of course, better yet, preventing, have been the focus of New Start for years.

And I wanted to study with you where that came from, because if you know where that came from, you might be able to make decisions about your future that could help you actually survive not only these pre-existing conditions, but eternally.

Adventists and New Start, Seventh-day Adventist Church, started out basically in a coffin.

They only lived about 35 years old when the Adventist church started.

They had really no longevity to speak of, just like anybody else, and they needed a new start.

They needed a discovery that could help them avoid the very conditions that we see facing many who die from COVID-19 today.

So those early pioneers, they began to study their Bibles and they began to study with the institutions of the day to see what they could do.

They realized that the Bible says, thou shalt not kill.

They realized that Moses lived to be 120 years.

They realized that people in Genesis were supposed to live 900 years, and ultimately, people were supposed to live forever.

And this was not happening, at least with them, only living to be about 30 years old.

And I doubt 30 or 40 years old, and I doubt the guests in the New Start program are even that young.

And everyone was dying in the culture at about that rate.

They visited the health institutions of the day.

And they realized they needed their own institution because they needed to have something that introduced people not just to life, but eternal life.

Not just to science, but to the scriptures.

And they started the Western Reform Institute.

It did quite well at first but then it didn't.

They were losing patients and they were losing money and then they hired a young doctor who had a large mustache and you know the old saying beware of young doctors and old barbers And everybody was kind of leery because of this young doctor who came.

I think he started when he was about 27 years old.

And then he and his wife, Seventh-day Baptists, who if my cousins are telling me right, actually knew my great-grandmother May.

Anyway, she adopted like I think 50-some children.

They had a busy household and a busy medical practice.

And they did some of the things that you do here at the New Star Program.

Here they are exercising, with their exercise uniforms on, doing their breathing exercises.

And they went to the cafeteria and had some of the food that you had, like toasted wheat flakes and really corn flakes came out of this.

And the first corn flake, the first wheat flake.

And these things might be things that you actually had in your New Start journey.

I don't know if you had Bulgarian yogurt.

I don't know what that is, but it's baked, coconut, mock hamburgers, fake steak, sham ham, phony bologna, all that stuff, beet coffee, caramel coffee, they were really big on coffee, parched grain coffee, wheat, oats, and barley coffee, and all by Ella Eaton Kellogg.

Eaton, she knew how to eat, and she had a cookbook named that.

They also had massage and light therapy, right there some early light therapy and massage.

Look at that lady, a real setup there with massage.

And massage was big and so also was light therapy.

Hydrotherapy, they had multiple tubs right there in 1 room.

And It looks kind of just like the hydrotherapy you went through in the New Start program.

A little white board behind him where he made some powerful points.

He has special music, all those different things you have.

When you go to Battle Creek, Michigan, they used to have a museum called Serial City.

But in that museum, you'd go in there, and they had a picture of a lady.

And they said, look, all of these things that you learned, actually, all the things that actuated Will Keith and John Harvey Kellogg came to them by revelation.

They came as a result of the ministry of Ellen White.

Ellen White had 4 visions in 1848, 54, 63, and 65 that spelled out a picture and plan that could give people a new start by looking at various things and magnifying the principle in scripture, thou shalt not kill, and I would that thou have life and have it more abundantly.

And So they begin to have a blessing of not only the revelation of scripture, but also a prophetic voice.

And they took it seriously and began to put it into practice.

Now, you might think, well, that's kind of weird.

But a few years ago, I was interviewing T.

Colin Campbell of the China Study, a very famous book that looked at all the things you learn in New Start, many of the things you learn, and looked at a huge study called the China Study where basically they studied the rural Chinese, not the urban Chinese, and they found that these rural Chinese, they ate fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables, and they lived longer and stronger than other people.

Well, I 1 day had him come to my church and I had him come to lecture at our church for the community, like we often did during those years in Wichita.

And before he came, I decided to send him an email.

I wanted to use it, figure out how it worked.

So I sent him an email, which I thought was rather short.

But it actually, he said, I printed out your email and it's 16 pages long.

But it was basically quotations from Ellen White and what she said about what to do concerning health.

And I said, you, as being a top epidemiologist, in fact, he had had more grants given to him than any other epidemiologist in the history of the U.S.

He had more research money that he had thrown at his feet to do research, like the China study.

And I thought this would be a great person who would be objective and looking at whether or not the writings and ministry of Ellen White were actually something that was valuable.

I'm not aware of anyone who is more on point than Ellen White.

Given her background, she's truly an amazing woman.

She only went to third grade, but then was self-taught.
