1. For everyone but especially Seventh-day Adventists
living in Jamaica and Abroad.

3. Understand ImportantMatters
“By faith Moses, when he was come to
years, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to
suffer affliction with the people of God, than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;”
Hebrews 11:24, 25
When we get an understanding of who
we are and what we are up against. …
We are not be children in understanding.
(see 1 Corinthians 14:20)
You won’t stand, if you don’t understand
4. Choose Well
There are many ways of practicing the
healing art; but there is only one way that
Heaven approves. God's remedies are the
simple agencies of nature, that will not tax or
debilitate the system through their powerful
properties. (CD 301)
2 Timothy 2:15, Study to
shew thyself approved
unto God,
5. Learn How to Preserve Your
Temple for God to dwell in you.
• 1 Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the
temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?
• 1 Cor 3:17 If any man defile the temple of
God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of
God is holy, which temple ye are.
6. The Cover Up (Deception)
• I have been pained when many students have
been encouraged to go where they would
receive an education in the use of drugs. The
light I have received on the subject of drugs is
altogether different from the use made of them at
these schools or at the sanitariums. We must
become enlightened on these subjects.
• The intricate names given medicines are used to
cover up the matter, so that none will know
what is given them as remedies unless they
consult a dictionary. . . . {MM 228.5}
7. Things with Side Effects shouldnot be put in
the system
• “Nothing should be put into the human
system that will leave a baleful influence
behind.” (Medical Ministry, 228)
8. Meat-eaters feel need of drugs
• Those who persist in the use of tea, coffee, and
flesh meats will feel the need of drugs, but many
might recover without one grain of medicine if
they would obey the laws of health. {Counsels to
the Church, 105.4}
9.
10.
11. Glory to ….
Many are means to be employed for the
restoration of health. They do not place
themselves in right relation to life. When sickness
is the result of their transgression of natural law,
they do not seek to correct their errors, and then
ask the blessing of God, but they resort to the
physicians. If they recover health, they give to
drugs and doctors all the honor. They are ever
ready to idolize human power and wisdom,
seeming to know no other god than the creature,
— dust and ashes. {CTBH 112.3}
12. Counterfeit of Faith
Genuine Faith Counterfeit Faith
Presumption is Satan's counterfeit of faith.
(Desire of Ages, 126)
13. Only Safe Course
Often when Satan has failed of exciting distrust,
he succeeds in leading us to presumption. If he
can cause us to place ourselves unnecessarily in
the way of temptation, he knows that the victory is
his. God will preserve all who walk in the path
of obedience; but to depart from it is to venture
on Satan's ground. There we are sure to fall. The
Saviour has bidden us, "Watch ye and pray, lest
ye enter into temptation." Mark 14:38. Meditation
and prayer would keep us from rushing unbidden
into the way of danger, and thus we should be
saved from many a defeat. {DA 126.2}

Merchants - All nations have drunk of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her, and the merchants of

delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues."

than to put confidence in princes.
• Psalm146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor
in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
34. Vaccination – an Abomination
• THE HEALTH REFORMER - NOVEMBER 1, 1869, pgs 85
- 86 "Vaccination."As WE are opposed to curing primary
diseases by producing drug diseases, so we cannot see
the propriety of curing or preventing contagious or
infectious diseases by inoculating the system with venoms
and viruses. We have known the worst forms of scrofula,
and the most loathsome conditions of venereal disease, to
be traceable directly to vaccination.* Even if the vaccine
matter could be had pure, we should oppose the practice
of preventing any disease by means of a virus introduced
into the blood ; but it so happens that we seldom can have
any assurance that the animals, or persons from whom the
matter is obtained, are not diseased.
35. Fetal tissue – the use of
biological material from aborted
fetuses in the process, or end

make of none effect the testimony of the
Spirit of God. "Where there is no vision, the
people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will

confidence of God's remnant people in the
true testimony.-- Letter 12, 1890. {1SM 48.3}
•
A Reminder
58. • There will be a hatred kindled against the
testimonies which is satanic. The workings of
Satan will be to unsettle the faith of the
churches in them, for this reason: Satan
cannot have so clear a track to bring in his
deceptions and bind up souls in his delusions
if the warnings and reproofs and counsels of
the Spirit of God are heeded.-- Letter 40,
1890. {1SM 48.4}
A Reminder
59. If one has a clear understanding of the Word of God
and of the Spirit of Prophecy without the interference
of world and church leaders and other people of
influence, they would not find it a hard matter to
understand what is the will of God in reference to the
issue at hand. The charge is to “study for yourself”,
“your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost” 1 Cor
3:16, 17
60. • The more simply and naturally we live the
better shall we be able to resist epidemic and
disease. If our habits are good and the
system is not weakened by unnatural action,
Nature will furnish all the stimulus that we
require. . . . {Temperance, 159.3}

61. • Throughout New South Wales we have been
tested and tried with the influenza epidemic.
Nearly every family has been afflicted in the
cities and country towns. Some are now very,
very sick. Their lives are hanging in the
balance. We pray for the sick, and do what we
can financially, and then wait the result. When
patients are under the doctor’s care we can do
little by way of treatment, for should the case
prove unfavorable, we should be charged with
taking life. Lt 30, 1894
Ellen White in an Epidemic
62. • One day last week there were eleven
funerals. Those who eat meat do not
recover from the attack as readily as
those who do not eat meat. Children do not
seem to suffer so much as the adults and the
aged. I have been severely attacked, and
have not been able to attend meetings for
four weeks; but have not given up to take to
my bed one day. (Lt 30, 1894)

73. • The Seventh-day Adventist Church places strong
emphasis on health and well-being. The Adventist health
emphasis is based on biblical revelation, the inspired
writing of E.G. White (co-founder of the Church), and on
peer-reviewed scientific literature. As such, we encourage
responsible immunization/vaccination, and have no
religious or faith-based reason not to encourage our
adherents to responsibly participate in protective and
preventive immunization programs. We value the
health and safety of the population, which includes the
maintenance of “herd immunity.”

Adventist Church.

92. The time is not far distant when the test will come to
every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us.
Those who have step by step yielded to worldly
demands and conformed to worldly customs will not
find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be,
rather than subject themselves to derision, insult,
threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest is
between the commandments of God and the
commandments of men. In this time the gold will be
separated from the dross in the church.--5T 81 (1882).
{LDE 173.6}
93. Those who have had privileges and
opportunities to become intelligent in regard to
the truth and yet who continue to counterwork
the work God would have accomplished will be
purged out, for God accepts the service of no
man whose interest is divided.--Ms 64, 1898.
{LDE 175.1}
94. The great issue so near at hand [enforcement
of Sunday laws] will weed out those whom God
has not appointed and He will have a pure, true,
sanctified ministry prepared for the latter rain.--

Many will stand in our pulpits with the torch
of false prophecy in their hands, kindled from
the hellish torch of Satan. . . . {LDE 179.3}
95. Ministers and doctors may depart
from the faith, as the Word declares
they will, and as the messages that
God has given His servant declare
they will.--7MR 192 (1906). {LDE
179.5}
96. When the religion of Christ is most held in
contempt, when His law is most despised, then
should our zeal be the warmest and our courage
and firmness the most unflinching. To stand in
defense of truth and righteousness when the
majority forsake us, to fight the battles of the
Lord when champions are few--this will be our
test. At this time we must gather warmth from
the coldness of others, courage from their
cowardice, and loyalty from their treason.--5T
136 (1882). {LDE 180.4}
