R I S E N
REMEDIAL & INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF EVANGELISM & NATUROPATHY
Greetings!
I have been in self-supporting ministry for nearly 20 years. Many of you attended the Health and Healing Crusade 2010 and witnessed first hand God's Spirit moving on a thousand souls. Many of you also know that Modern Manna Media is completed. George Hope and I are currently working of our new DVD "BellaVita--Cleansing Body and Spirit" and will debut it at this Years Health & Healing crusade June 17 - 19. We also plan to start our new Instructional DVD Series on health shortly thereafter. We are also excited to announce our latest God-given assignment--a new medical missionary school called R I S E N.
Let me tell you how this happened. I was invited by the Health Ministry leader of the Sonora SDA Church, Charmaine Daniels, to come to Columbia, CA to meet with some of the ARISE team from David Asscherick's ministry to discuss the possibility of training new evangelist students in the medical missionary work. At a most wonderful dinner at Charmaine's house, we discussed this most important subject for more than an hour. I knew the Holy Spirit was working because two of the ARISE team had just read my new book The Final Inquisition prior to meeting me for the first time. God blessed the discussion as we devoured the delicious meal and a fabulous "non" cheese cake. Charmaine and I discussed the need to start a school for BIble workers and train them to also become medical missionary workers.
The Spirit of Prophecy tells us the following: "No line is to be drawn between the genuine medical missionary work and the gospel ministry. These two must blend. They are not to stand apart as separate lines of work. They are to be joined in an inseparable union, even as the hand is joined to the body. The medical missionary work is to be to the work of the church as the right arm to the body. 8T 77. Earlier that afternoon, I gave Charmaine a Bible study on the prophecy of Isaiah 60 on the "Forces of the Gentiles" and what I believe is soon to happen. God had shown me this 8 years ago before one of Modern Manna's Health and Healing Crusades featuring non SDA speakers like Charlotte Gerson. Here is what it says: "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is R I S E N upon thee. For, behold, the darkness [misery and sickness; i.e. pestilences. EGW says the world will be lazor house of disease] shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. "And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces [or wealth] of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory." Isaiah 60:1-7. Many were excited when I announced a medical missionary school during one of my presentations at the Healing Crusade last year, but Charmaine was overjoyed as she learned that many would soon come to support the finishing work of the Lord and the true medical missionary work, even among the Gentiles and others not of our faith.
Last year, Jay Kordich, the Juiceman, who was a keynote speaker at our Health Crusade donated $500.00 to Modern Manna because he was so moved by the messages and work manifested through Modern Manna and evidenced at last year's health event. Charlotte Gerson, a "daughter" who is being nursed by my side (see Isa. 60:4) is learning the message God has given to His people as she blesses us with her many years of wisdom in healing the incurables. In fact she told me she grew up keeping the Sabbath. She too gave $300.00 to Modern Manna besides charging nothing-- not even the cost of her flight--to participate at last year's Health & Healing Crusade because she believes in the ministry of Modern Manna. I have spent days with her in her lovely Chula Vista home and shared many stories about Jesus and my mission for Him, as we eat dinner together prepared with her own gracious hands. God is moving, Amen! Others, not our faith, are sending donations to Modern Manna to further the medical missionary and gospel ministry. Charmaine had listened intently to all the powerful messages at last year's Crusade at Lodi Grape Festival. She heard every sermon I preached and got a better read of what I am trying to accomplish with those of every denomination and especially the Gentile's. "Danny, Charmiane said, "God has given me the name of your new Medical Missionary School. It is R I S E N." I listen closely when someone says, "God has told me." She continued: "It is an acronym for REMEDIAL AND INTEGRATIVE SCHOOL OF EVANGELISM AND NATUROPATHY." R I S E N is perfect; it says everything that I am passionate about and believe as truth. Charmaine also divulged more of what God had shown her. "In Strongs Concordance I looked up the word risen as used in Isaiah 60:1. The Hebrew word is zarach which means according to Strongs to irradiate; to shoot forth beams of light; to rise like the sun." Powerful! Here is the verse: "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is R I S E N upon thee." Isaiah 60:1. God's elect, in Isaiah 60:1, are hastening from place to place and their faces are shining like the countenance of Daniel the Prophet who ate a diet exclusively of pulse and water filled with biophotons. Scientists are finding measurable light rays in raw food that recharge us. Light energy! The last-day health evangelists and medical missionaries are filled with Holy Spirit power and beams of truth and light are shining forth through them like the rising sun. Does their diet of live plant based foods have anything to do with it? Jesus alluded to Himself as "the Light of the world" and we have been commanded to let our "light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify your Father which is heaven." Matthew 5:16. "Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand. "The message will be carried not so much by argument as by the deep conviction of the Spirit of God. The arguments have been presented. The seed has been sown, and now it will spring up and bear fruit. The publications distributed by missionary workers have exerted their influence, yet many whose minds were impressed have been prevented from fully comprehending the truth or from yielding obedience. Now the rays of light penetrate everywhere, the truth is seen in its clearness, and the honest children of God sever the bands which have held them. Family connections, church relations, are powerless to stay them now. Truth is more precious than all besides. Notwithstanding the agencies combined against the truth, a large number take their stand upon the Lord's side." GC 612 But before the latter rain pours out on God's faithful, there is much that has to be done in reaching and teaching the people. I received an email from Cherie Colbom, better know as the Juice Lady and author of the bestseller Juicing For Life. We had never met before, but her husband found me on the internet. When I called her we instantly bonded and soon discovered we shared a similar vision--that health Crusades need to be established in major cities of the United States and an army of health disciples proclaiming the truth as it is in Jesus need to be taught the medical missionary work and evangelism. Cherie is one of our keynote speakers at this year's Health and Healing Crusade. Let me further explain the acronym R I S E N. It is Remedial--disease is remedial action, an effort of nature to purify the system and re-balance; Integrative--to make into a whole by bringing all parts together; unify, i.e. the health message must be presented with the gospel. 1 Thes. 5:23), School--a school of the prophets so to speak); Evangelism--sharing the message with power worldwide; and Naturopathy--a system of therapy based on preventative care, and on the use of God's natural doctors. It embraces the NEWSTART program, an acronym for nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, temperance (self control), air, rest, and trust in Divine Power. Also natural modalities like herbal medicine, massage, and hydrotherapy as primary therapies for disease. "As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our nation, those who would stand for freedom of conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For their own sake, they should, while they have the opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its causes, prevention, and cure. All those who do this will find a field of labor anywhere. There will be suffering ones, plenty of them, who will need help, not only among those of our own faith, but largely among those who know not the truth. The shortness of time demands an energy that has not been aroused among those who claim to believe the present truth." Counsels on Health, p. 506 R I S E N will be a boot camp for teaching and instructing an army of "GREEN BERETS" (vegan vegetarians) for the Lord or what the Bible refers to as the 144,000. "We have come to a time when every member of the church should take hold of medical missionary work. The world is a lazar house filled with victims of both physical and spiritual disease. Everywhere people are perishing for lack of a knowledge of the truths that have been committed to us. The members of the church are in need of an awakening, that they may realize their responsibility to impart these truths." Testimonies, Vol. 7, p. 62. There is so much more to share but I will save it for next time, but isn't God amazing!
God has blessed Modern Manna is abundance: Health Crusades, health food stores, cooking schools, radio and TV, the gifts of evangelism, teaching, healing miracles, BellaVita and Modern Manna. It is time to teach an army of workers to evangelize the world and heal the sick. A little secret: I have been praying for the gift of apostle for over 20 years, after all the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 12:31 to "covet the best gifts" and apostle is number 1. Daniel Jr., George, Crystal, Charmaine and I want to teach others what God has so graciouly taught us.
I will close with one of my favorite promises from the Spirit of Prophecy: "Set to work the young men and the young women in our churches. Combine the medical missionary work with the proclamation of the third angel's message. Make regular, organized effort to lift the churches out of the dead level into which they have fallen and have remained for years. Send into the churches workers who will set the principles of health reform in their connection with the third angel's message before every family and individual. Encourage all to take a part in work for their fellowmen, and see if the breath of life will not quickly return to these churches." Testimonies to Ministers, p. 415.
Please pray for Modern Manna and R I S E N. It will be a 21-day intensive program starting July 17, 2011. Charmaine will be certified as a raw chef at Living Light by then and will be teaching you lots about raw food preparation along with Crystal DuBoyce. There will be cooking classes besides the raw classes. You will also go through a full cleansing BellaVita program.
Charmiane will also teach on health outreach and door to door health evangelism. Some of the classes will include: herbal medicine, natural remedies, evangelism, hydrotherapy, master gardening, video production, how to start your own wellness center & more! This will be a hands-on program. Expect to work!
