Welcome to my Quit Smoking post. Smoking is very harmful to your health. In every cigarette, there are over 4000 chemicals, 400 toxins, and 43 cancer causing carcinogens. Lighting a cigarette is very harmful to your health. The end result varies between lung cancer, emphysema, possible stroke or heart attack. Some people end up with breathing holes inserted in their throats because of throat cancer from the toxins.

How can you prevent someone from ever smoking? One suggestion is to ask your local coroner’s office to inspect a black lung taken from a person that has died from lung disease. A healthy lung has undamaged cilia ( tiny hairs ) and is pink in color. A smoker’s lung is black and the cilia are damaged. Tar coats the tissues of the lung and blackens the tissue.

Smoking claims around 5.5 million lives each year. The effects of smoking make life miserable for people that are addicted to smoking. Emphysema and shortness of breath are very painful. Gasping for air makes life difficult. Many people that have quit smoking comment that the addiction is extremely difficult to overcome. How can someone quit smoking? All of us were born without a cigarette in our mouth. Here is the path I took in 1998 to overcome this deadly habit.

1. Ask for Help.
2. Drink Plenty of Water
3. Go for Walks.
4. Keep a Sugar Free Mint with You.
5. Peel a Piece of Fruit or Munch a Carrot or Apple.
6. Use a Quitting Smoking Support Group
7. Use the Smoker’s Quit Line

I pray every morning that God will remove the desire for nicotine, cigarettes and anything that is harmful to my body. I drink one half my ideal body weight in ounces of pure water each day. I walk at least 30 minutes a day and up to an hour most days. The fresh air will help the process of removing the toxins from your body.

The process of peeling a banana, orange or other piece of fruit is the same hand to mouth action of smoking a cigarette. I also frequently called the American Cancer Society’s Smokers Quit Line to help me during my first few days of being a non smoker. The counselors helped me over those tough spots. Check for your state’s toll free quit line.

The number for help to quit smoking in Washington State is 800-QUIT NOW.

It only takes around 3-4 days for most of the toxins to leave your body if you follow the above steps of walking and drinking water. Your body will quickly begin to start the healing process. Your body, hair and clothes will start to smell better. You will have much more money to take care of yourself once you quit smoking. A pack of cigarettes now cost anywhere from $7-10 per pack. Multiply that by 30 days and you have up to $300 or more per month to take care of your health. You will feel much better.

You can also help get the nicotine and toxins out of your body by getting a  package of our detox tea. Go to my website here:

Welcome to my Stuffed Collard Greens recipe post which is a favorite for New Years for many people. This is a healthy and delicious recipe to start the year off at your table.

Ingredients:

1 large bunch fresh collard greens

1 cup cooked rice

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup nuts, chopped

1/2 cup basil, chopped

1/2 cup lemon juice

Instructions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you carefully wash and stem the collard greens. Lower collard greens into the boiling water. After 2 minutes, gently transfer collards to a bowl of ice-cold water, then drain and set aside.

Next, saute the rice, basil, and nuts in two tablespoons of olive oil for five minutes. Wrap each leaf around two spoonfuls of the rice mixture.

Layer a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan with the stuffed collard greens. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice and the rest of the olive oil together and drizzle over the stuffed collard greens. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F or 175 C.

Nutrition

Wonderfully nutritious Stuffed Collard Greens leaves are very low in calories (provide only 32 calories per 100 g) and contain no cholesterol. However, its green leaves contain a good amount of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber that helps control LDL cholesterol levels and offer protection against hemorrhoids, constipation as well as colon cancer diseases.

Widely considered to be a wholesome food; collards are rich sources of phytonutrients with potent anti-cancer properties, that have proven benefits against prostate, breast, cervical, colon, ovarian cancers by virtue of their cancer-cell growth inhibition and cytotoxic effects on cancer cells.

Collard greens are very good sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Folate and many vital B-complex groups of minerals such as niacin (vitamin B-3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) and riboflavin.

The Stuffed Collard Greens leaves and stems compose adequate amounts of minerals like iron, calcium, copper, manganese, selenium and zinc.

Welcome to the Divine Design Childbirth post. I found this fascinating and hope you do as well. The article is an adaptation of the Divine Design video series done by Patti Barnes and Hartland College.

Miracle of Childbirth by Patti Barnes

No candid person can study the amazing process of pro-creation without being overwhelmed by the divine design involved. From conception to delivery, the processes that take place defy the concept of evolution. Here is just one example of the handywork of God, without which there could be no viable birth.

Right at birth a miraculous change must take place in the baby’s circulatory system. Throughout the pregnancy, the placenta has been supplying the functions of the liver, the lungs, the kidneys and carrying away waste and carbon dioxide while supplying the oxygen and necessary nutrition. In other words, the placenta has been the life support system for the baby. Now that is about to come to an end, and because it will end, there must be a rearranging of the baby’s circulatory system.

Up until now the blood has been bypassing the liver and the lungs, detouring around these major organs, while the placenta was temporarily performing their functions. These detours are called shunts. Another way to look at this is to think of the path of least resistance. The resistance into the liver and lungs has been high, therefore restricting the flow through them. The blood was flowing freely through the shunts and to and from the placenta, because the resistance was quite low. At birth, the blood is able to continue straight through the liver and the lungs where the resistance has now fallen, due to the amniotic fluid being displaced and the blood vessels expanding.

Another marvel of creation is the restriction of blood flow in the umbilical cord. A strong muscle-like cord begins contracting, clamping down on it. There is an amazing substance known as Wharton’s Jelly that has been serving a very important role while the baby was in the womb. This jelly-like material has helped prevent the cord from kinking and pinching off the blood flow, so necessary for the baby’s survival. Now this jelly serves a different and opposite purpose. After being exposed to the cold air, it begins to condense and harden. The result is a restriction of the blood flow to and from the baby. This prevents excessive blood loss for both the baby and the mother.

When the cord gets clamped and severed, the blood flow is completely channeled back into the arteries. Gradually, the shunts or bypasses, begin to shrink or disappear. Now all the plumbing is reorganized so that the baby’s organs can do all that the placenta was doing. All this takes place in a matter of minutes.

As you can see, this is just not possible with evolution. Charles Darwin admitted in his book, On the Origin of Species, “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not have possibly been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find out no such case.” Darwin, living in the middle of the 19^th century ( 1800’s ), knew nothing of this miracle of childbirth. Here his theory does indeed “absolutely break down”, not just once or twice, but countless times. One little glitch in this process and there is no baby and no second chance to get it right.

Please share your comments below.

Welcome to the post Ezekiel 47 Message By Caleb Robles. Caleb preached this sermon on Sabbath, 14 December 2019 at the Vicuña, Chile Seventh-day Adventist Christian church.

Caleb is an elder of the church that is in La Serena, Chile. He belongs to the church in the South American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Christian Church. He goes to speak at different churches each week. His message began with the scripture reading from Jeremiah 17:9-10:

“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?

I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.”

Turn in your Bibles to Romans 11:5:

Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

God has always had faithful people on the earth.

Isaiah 58:12

Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

Ezra 9:8-10

Now for a little while grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. For we were slaves. Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage; but He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem. And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments.

Daniel 10:13

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.

Ezekiel 47:1-2

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.

Here in Ezekiel 47 Message By Caleb Robles showed a diagram of the temple which faced east. The water flowed under the right side of the temple south of the altar.

Joshua 24:15

If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Solomon Builds the Temple

2 Chronicles 3:1

Now Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Jeremiah 21:8

Now you shall say to this people, Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.”

All through the Bible, the New Testament validates the Old Testament. Look at this scripture in John 7:38-39:

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Now turn to Revelation 17:15:

Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.”

Now turn to Matthew 7:13-14:

The Narrow Way

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

This passage in John 10:7 and verse 9 also guide us.

Jesus the Good Shepherd

John 10

Verse 7: Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.”

Verse 9: I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Turn now to Isaiah 14:13:

For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north’

Now go to Isaiah 43:6-9:

I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth—

Everyone who is called by My name,
Whom I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
And the deaf who have ears.

Let all the nations be gathered together,
And let the people be assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”

Let us now go to the prophet Zechariah 2:6-7:

Future Joy of Zion and Many Nations

“Up, up! Flee from the land of the north,” says the Lord; “for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord. “Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”

Let us turn back to Ezekiel 47:2:

He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.

Now we go back to Matthew and read chapter 25:31-32:

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.”

Let us look deeper into Ezekiel 47 verses 3 through 10:

And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.

7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the [a]valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever [b]the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.

Now let us return to the prophet Zechariah 2:1-2:

Vision of the Measuring Line

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. So I said, “Where are you going?”

And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

Now turn to Isaiah 28:17:

Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

God is a God of order. You see that throughout the Bible.

Now let us go back to Matthew chapter 13:47-48:

The Parable of the Dragnet

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.

Now turn to Psalms 65:9:

You visit the earth and water it,
You greatly enrich it;
The river of God is full of water;
You provide their grain,
For so You have prepared it.

Many scriptures speak of water. Jesus is the living water.

Now let us turn to Isaiah 55:10-11:

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Let us go back to Matthew one last time and read Chapter 4 verses 18 and 19:

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples

And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

The last verses to read are Ezekiel 47:11-12:

But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt. Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.

Caleb’s message shows a similarity between Ezekiel 47:11-12 and Revelation 22:2. Revelation 22:2:

In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Hope you have enjoyed this Ezekiel 47 Message By Caleb Robles. It is great to read your comments.

Want to share a healthy pizza recipe that has no animal products in it. This is a way to enjoy a favorite food of many North Americans without any harm to your weight or health. This recipe is from Danny Vierra’s Vegetarian Cooking School Cookbook.

I recommend making the pizza crust first then work on the sauce while your dough is rising.

Healthy Pizza Recipe Directions:

Sauce

2 cups tomato sauce ( 15 ounce can works )

1 1/2 cups tomato paste ( 2 six ounce or 1 twelve ounce can )

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over low heat about 15 minutes to blend flavors.

Helpful Hints

Use as a pizza sauce, as a sandwich spread, or as a catsup substitute. Will keep in refrigerator for several weeks.

Crust ( by hand )

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 1/2 cups hot water

2 Tablespoons honey

3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour ( may use 1/2 unbleached flour )

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 Tablespoons olive oil

Mix the yeast and honey in the hot water ( 110 degrees ). Let stand 10 minutes. Stir in salt, oil and flour, 1 cup at a time. Mix well. Knead dough in bowl about 50 times. Let rise 1 hour. Roll out onto pizza pan. Poke holes in crust to let air escape, and prebake 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Top with sauce, soy cheese, and vegetables. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

I made this on Christmas Eve 2011 for the first time and it was delicious. I had raw broccoli, yellow peppers, white onion, pineapple slices and baby carrots for my toppings over the tomato sauce. The pizza above was made in November 2019.

Enjoy and share this delicious pizza and recipe with others. I like eating healthy and my latest blood work shows that I am eating right.

Welcome to the 84 Million Americans Have PreDiabetes post. PreDiabetes is a wake up call that you are on a path to diabetes. Around 90 percent of the 84 million Americans that have PreDiabetes do not know they have this condition of a high blood sugar level.

 

The Mayo Clinic states: “Prediabetes means that your blood sugar level is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be type 2 diabetes. Without lifestyle changes, people with prediabetes are very likely to progress to type 2 diabetes. If you have prediabetes, the long-term damage of diabetes — especially to your heart, blood vessels and kidneys — may already be starting.”

“There’s good news, however. Progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes isn’t inevitable. Eating healthy foods, incorporating physical activity in your daily routine and maintaining a healthy weight can help bring your blood sugar level back to normal.”

“Prediabetes affects adults and children. The same lifestyle changes that can help prevent progression to diabetes in adults might also help bring children’s blood sugar levels back to normal.” You can read the whole story on the Mayo Clinic website:

Welcome to the Vegan Turkey Roast post. It is easy to make vegan alternatives to favorite holiday meals.

Ingredients

14 oz. block of extra firm tofu

1 and 1/2 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes

2 and 1/2 teaspoons Bragg’s liquid aminos or ( soy sauce )

1 cup gluten flour ( may need more depending on type of tofu )

1/3 cup sunflower oil

1 and 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt

1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

teaspoon of lemon juice

2 teaspoons of sage

1/4 teaspoon of savory

Make Vegan Turkey Roast

First, blend the tofu, oil and seasonings in a blender. My Blendtec works great. The blender will make the tofu and seasonings into a batter like consistency.

Next, move the tofu mixture to a large mixing bowl and add in the gluten flour, mixing gradually. Kneed with your hands until very little dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl. Separate the dough into 2 equal sections.

Press each half of the dough into the bottom of a shallow bowl, allowing the dough to climb the side of the bowl about 1/2 inch.

Next, spoon stuffing into the crater of one of the dough halves. Press the stuffing to form a mound.

Lastly, take the other half of the dough and place on top of the bottom layer of the dough and stuffing mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes and check to see that the dough is brown and cooked all the way through. My first recipe was a little too moist and required one hour to bake. It depends on how moist your dough is.

Welcome to the How to Overcome Addictions post. The best mental health therapist in the world cannot bring the results to people seeking mental health help like the Holy Bible can. These scriptures are powerful and healing for those that seek mental health therapy. There are many people who suffer from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues.

Please see my disclaimer at the bottom of this site.

Full disclosure: I am not a licensed mental health professional. I have had family members with mental health issues and have recovered from some deep mental health issues myself through spiritual approaches.

History tells us that sin has distorted mankind’s emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Here is a short list of scriptures that show us our fallen condition. Because I want to focus on overcoming, I will not share these scriptures. You can look them up for yourself if you wish.

1. Isaiah 53:6
2. Proverbs 21:2
3. Proverbs 16:25
4. Jeremiah 10:23
5. Jeremiah 17:9

Bible Passages For Strength Each Day

God’s Word in the Holy Bible has power to change people. I have seen this happen since God woke me up out of my own addiction issue in 1994. Claim God’s Power by asking for a Baptism of the Holy Spirit Each Morning. Read these scriptures and ask for victory each morning. God wants you to claim victory over addictions! Here are two gifts from God. There is hope for all of us.

A. 2 Timothy 3:16

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

First Gift from God is the Bible is the Standard of Right and Wrong.

B. Ezekiel 36:26-27

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

Second gift is God brings the willing heart back into a connected relationship. God never forces. God brings us from unholiness to holiness.

Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

We can go from self-will to God’s Will.

Psalms 32:8

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.

Romans 8:28-29

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

We were created in God’s Image. Sin damaged and distorted mankind but Jesus Christ restores us to God’s Image.

1 Corinthians 15:51-54

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Revelation 22:11-12

He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

Proverbs 23:7

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.

We are what we think. We can find the thoughts of Jesus in the Bible. Jesus was human. Jesus was tempted just as you and I are. When we have problems, God calls us to cast our burdens on the Lord Jesus.

Psalms 138:3

In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul.

Jesus was tempted as we read in Hebrews 4:15 and Matthew 4:3-4.

God promises care in Isaiah 41:10.

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Matthew 11:29

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

1 Thessalonians 5:7

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

2 Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. If alcohol is or was a problem for you, get rid of liquor shirts, shot glasses and liquor signs. If smoking is or was an issue for you, quit hanging around smokers.

Getting rid of all the things that bound me in chains was not hard once I made up my mind that I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. God removed the desire for my addictions. My issue now is placing a 15 minute time limit on being active on social media sites. Please share in the comments below what you do to break free from your issues!

Here are six more scriptures you can look up and get more power from in your daily walk:

1. 1 Corinthians 15:33
2. Proverbs 3:5-6
3. 1 Corinthians 10:31
4. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
5. John 8:31-32
6. Isaiah 26:3

The key to Freedom is to trust in Jesus and think His Thoughts.

Philippians 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Overcome Trials

The moment a trial hits, STOP and refuse to Act. Do not think about the trial. Ask God for Strength. Where are the feelings coming from. Do not focus on your feelings.

1 Corinthians 10:31

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Psalms 23:4

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Wait on the Lord Jesus for help.

Psalms 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;

And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Feelings are produced by our thoughts. We cannot change the past. You CAN respond differently today with God’s Thoughts and His Word.

Psalms 119:11

Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

Romans 12:21

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Welcome to my Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe post. You can quickly make healthier alternatives to using eggs and milk in your recipe. Share any variations with me in comments below as there are several healthy ways to sweeten the pie. I am using a basic recipe and then share the vegan options.

Ingredients
3/4 cup granulated sugar ( I use 1/4 cup of Pure Maple Syrup & Stevia )
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs ( Ener-G Egg Replacer works great )
1 can (15 oz.) 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 can (12 fl. oz.) Evaporated Milk * See Vegan Option
1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell

Directions for Non Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Mix sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.

 

Directions for Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients for Making Alternative Condensed Milk

¾ cup raw cashews (pre-soak and strain only if not using a Blendtec)*
½ cup agave (or maple syrup, brown rice syrup, coconut nectar, etc.)
¼ cup coconut manna (also known as coconut butter)
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp water
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
⅛ tsp salt

Make sure all ingredients are at room temp or slightly warmed before starting.
Blend everything in a blender (a Blendtec or Vitamix  works best; otherwise just pause and scrape down the sides as needed).
Adjust the sweetness to your liking (especially if using an alternative sweetener to agave). Enjoy!
Store leftovers in a glass jar in the fridge and gently rewarm as needed.

Thanks to Audrey who publishes the unconventionalbaker.com website for this healthy alternative to condensed milk.

Now that you have the alternative condensed milk, add all of the other ingredients of the Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe into the Blendtec and pulse until smooth. If your mixture is not thick enough, add some corn starch until it thickens up.

POUR into pie shell.

BAKE in preheated 425° F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.

Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

The pie in the picture is a Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe. It tastes great.
