Could
honey be the answer?
Should it be any
surprise at all that carnal man
chooses the opposite
of that which is endorsed by God? If God says “Yes,” man says “No.”
That’s how it began in the garden of Eden. Satan challenged the words
of God and unfortunately the mother and father of all mankind chose the
wrong words. Since then it’s been like mother, like daughter, and like
father, like son. Is it a surprise? There is a real and powerful way to
escape this deadly inherited trait. Click on to “Further With Jesus” on
this website to find it, along with many other categories of topics.

GOD SAID to Moses, concerning his plan to deliver Israel from Egypt’s
bondage, in Exodus, chapter 3, verse 8,
And
I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to
bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a
land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and
the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites.
God highlights milk
and honey as the land
of ultimate promise. God refers to honey and/or the honeycomb 60 times
and classifies it with the very best fruits of the land. It is noted in
the Bible that the great minister, John the Baptist, who prepared the
way before the Lord Jesus Christ, ate a diet of locusts and wild honey.
It
is written in Proverbs, chapter 24,
verses 13-14,
My
son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is
sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul:
when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy
expectation shall not be cut off.
Here God compares the
goodness of the honey and the honeycomb, which are sweet-tasting, to
the knowledge of wisdom when you find it, knowing that the finder shall
be rewarded.
MAN
SAID that God’s word is just a bunch of hand-me-down bunk and to
eat a lot of white sugar...a whole lot of it. The average American
consumes 150 pounds of the white stuff every year and when he tries to
wean himself of it, instead of using honey he produces his own
concoction such as saccharin or nutrasweet. The warning on the side of
a “Sweet ‘N Low” package, which contains calcium saccharin reads, “Use
of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains
saccharin which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory
animals.” That’s what man has to say.
Now
THE RECORD. God created all the substances of the world and knew
full well all about the other sweetening agents, but he promotes raw
honey. The reasons outlined in this feature will make that fact
abundantly clear. And this will be another proof that God is and that
he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him (Romans 11:6).

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot
water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon
powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.
In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was
found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of
one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before
breakfast, they found that within a week out of the 200 people so
treated practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain and
within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move
around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
HAIR
LOSS:
Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot
olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder
before bath and keep it for approx. 15 min. and then wash the hair. It
was found to be effective even if kept on for 5 minutes.
BLADDER
INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one
teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It
destroys the germs in the bladder.
TOOTHACHE:
Make a paste of
one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply
on the aching tooth. This may be applied 3 times a day till the tooth
stops aching.
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon
Powder
mixed
in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to
reduce
the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours. As
mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day, any Chronic
cholesterol is cured. As per information received in the said journal,
pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one
tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for 3
days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the

He
said: "In all honeys, there is - to different levels - hydrogen
peroxide produced from an enzyme that bees add to the nectar.
"In manuka honey, and its close relative which grows in Australia
called jellybush, there's something else besides the hydrogen peroxide.
"And there's nothing like that ever been found anywhere else in the
world."
That "something else" has proved very hard to pin down. Even now, after
more than twenty years of research, Peter Molan admits he still has no
idea exactly what it is.
But he has given it a name: unique manuka factor, or UMF.
And he has found a way to measure its antibacterial efficacy, by
comparing UMF manuka honey with a standard antiseptic (carbolic, or
phenol) in its ability to fight bacteria. The results are astonishing.
He said: "We know it has a very broad spectrum of action.
"It works on bacteria, fungi, protozoa. We haven't found anything it
doesn't work on among infectious organisms."
Resistant strains
In fact, he says UMF manuka honey can even tackle antibiotic
resistant strains of bacteria - a growing problem for hospitals around
the world.
"Staphylococcus aureas is the most common wound-infecting species of
bacteria, and that's the most sensitive to honey that we've found.
"And that includes the antibiotic resistant strains - the MRSA - which
is just as sensitive to honey as any other staphylococcus aureas."

My
sister, an RN, had an MRSA that would not respond to antibiotics. I
sent her a jar of Active Organic Manuka Honey from The Wild Bee and in
three days, the MRSA had burst. One week later, the wounds were
completely healed.
My husband had a sebaceous cyst about the size of a softball on the
middle of his back. It was very painful and going to require surgery.
We applied a poultice of Manuka Honey to the cyst and in three days, it
burst and began to drain. Two weeks later, the cyst was completely
drained and my husband is now pain-free.
My Mother's dear friend's daughter had severe acne. My Mother gave her
a sample of Manuka Honey and the acne cleared. Her friend was ecstatic!!
My five year old daughter asks for Manuka Honey any time she gets a
tickle in her throat and she has not succumbed to a cold since we began
using Manuka.
