Manna from Heaven on the Way

 

Firstly, 

What is Manna?

"Manna was the supernatural food God gave to the Israelites during their 40-year wandering in the desert. The word manna means "What is it?" in Hebrew. Manna is also known in the Bible as the "bread of heaven," "corn of heaven," "angel's food," and "spiritual meat."

(source: https://www.learnreligions.com/what-is-manna-700742 )

 Exodus, Chapter 16 tells us all about Manna and how the Hebrews were wandering hungry in the desert (and griping and complaining about it, I might add) and God sent down manna DIRECTLY from Heaven...EVERY day.

The people of Israel called the bread manna.[d] It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

Secondly,

let's look at the Biblical event when Jesus feeds five thousand people with only five loaves of bread and two fish.

"13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children." (Matthew 14:13-21)

What's my point?

I know everyone is flipping out because of the economy and a GLOBAL Government persecuting anyone who disagrees with them, but we can trust God to "give us our daily bread" even if He needs to rain it right down from Heaven!

I have been poor my whole life (although different levels of it) and I have seen this miraculous supplying happen more times than I can remember.

For example.

When I was in a long-term lockdown here in Canada I needed an antibacterial handwash. I looked and saw I only had about 1 cm left in my bottle and no way to get more.

I used that bottle of handwash several times a day for weeks and it never stopped having 1 cm in the bottle until the day I got groceries, which included a new bottle. Then suddenly the old bottle ran out.

This is NOT a time to fear but a time to trust God, take Jesus at His Word and be amazed!

And when Jesus supplies your needs remember ...

"As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. (Matthew 10:7-8)

Just as I give you...

Many modern day people have attempted to create something similar. Even though I'm SURE it doesn't taste ANYTHING like the real deal I thought I would conclude with a recipe for "Honey Coriander Manna Bread" found at the blog post,

Ambassadors (poem)

 

Ambassadors 

Ambassadors for Christ plead His cause

On our hearts and minds we write His laws

Committed to seek out the lost

but first to stop and count the cost

United in love we take our stand

As we live our lives in this foreign land

We abhor the Lie and embrace the Truth

Crying out to the Aged and the Youth

We rejoice when tried and restricted 

Humility enfolds us when we are afflicted 

Throwing off our sins we move toward

The Father's glory. Our greatest reward!

Look at yourself (as you love to do)

Jesus wants to know, "Who's Ambassador are you?"

~ Laura-Lee Rahn

"We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

GOLDILOCKS and the EARTH

"In astrobiology, the "Goldilocks Principle" applies to the range of distances that a planet can be from its star and maintain surface temperatures that are just right for water to be liquid. This range is known as the Goldilocks Zone. Temperatures that allow for liquid water are considered “just right” because life as we know it requires water."

"Based on the idea that liquid water on a planet’s surface makes life possible, the Goldilocks Zone of our solar system extends approximately from the orbit that Venus takes around the sun to the orbit that Mars takes around the sun. Earth’s orbit is farther from the sun than Venus but closer than Mars. In other words, Earth’s orbit is within the sun’s Goldilocks Zone. This is why Earth can maintain a vast ocean of liquid water, which makes Earth a place where life can thrive."

(source. National Geographic)

 

In other words, in order for LIFE to take place on earth the entire planet has to be "just right" in its place in our solar system and the universe. That's why the other planets in our solar system have no life on them.

"But, Laura-Lee, I'm sure this is all some sort of evolutionary coincidence."🤔

Well, I am not because "It is written" over again in the Bible and expressed the SAME way by those men who held the pens and lived centuries apart and came from diverse places,

"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,

    the world, and all who live in it;

for he founded it on the seas

    and established it on the waters." (Psalm 24:1-2) 

~ King David 

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)

 ~ Moses

 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed." (Daniel 7:13-14)

~ Daniel

Jesus approaches God the Father and has Almighty God's authority, which includes the earth.

This isn't stuff I'm just making up or that "I like to believe...".

This is the way things are because "THUS SAITH THE LORD."

and because I am committed in telling you...

VITAMIN D: Our New BFF

VITAMIN D is your FRIEND🙂❗️

We actually get tons of it from just being in sunlight. How great is that❓️😄

BUT ...if you spend a lot of time indoors or are a Vegan or are experiencing winter in more northern areas (where there are fewer hours of sunlight) you will have a Vitamin D deficiency which can cause all sorts of problems.

Now, you can go and hork down a bunch of PILL form supplements, but I've never been fond of that as a solution because that can create problems too by creating IMBALANCES in your body. One vitamin works with many other vitamins and if you create a spike in one well 💁‍♀️..more problems. So except for perhaps a One-a-Day supplement appropriate for your age and gender (the one you were born with and reflected by the DNA in every cell in your body), I recommend you get extra of any vitamin or mineral you lack by eating MORE of the foods it comes from.

Here are some of the foods RICH in our new BFF, Vitamin D:

1. Salmon and Tuna (just the stuff in the can is great and you can get it very economically.)

2. Oranges (they are like "Sunshine in a fruit" I like to say.☺️🍊)

3. Cows' milk ("MOOOO"❗️🐮Which I have always loved and have drank everyday for all my 56 years. Oops! 🙊 Accidently outed my age on the Internet again.)

 When I was in the hospital in 2019 paralyzed from the neck down and all the doctors were trying to figure out the mystery as to WHY, I was given a bone density test. 

"Laura-Lee, you have the bone density of a twenty-year old!"

"Great. I'm paralyzed from the neck down but at least I won't break a hip." 😉😁

(we must always keep our sense of humor)

4. Egg yolk. (Yes, I know you were previously told  "Egg yolk BAD" but you need to keep in mind there are political, economical and ideological agendas behind what the media/Government tells us. I have no such agendas. I just want you to be healthier.)

5. Mushrooms. I LOVE mushrooms however in my 40s I developed an allergy to them. 🤮😭 But if you like them, go for it. You can have my share too. 

You're welcome.😔

6. Oatmeal (which also has TONS of other groovy stuff in it too)

7. Kale or Spinach (Nice to learn after all these years that Pop-Eye was RIGHT!) NOW, if you don't want to just eat spinach plain and straight I don't blame you, but there are tons of tasty things it comes in. Pizza. Lasagna Casseroles. I currently have a Spinach/Cheese spread in my fridge that is very tasty. 😋

Cheese

Yogurt

Liver

You get the idea. You can go do your own search for "List Vitamin D rich foods" and add to your diet whatever YOU fancy. 🤷‍♀️

Keep in mind a few things in general when it comes to your diet. YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL❗️(and I can't emphasize this enough). I have seen a myriad of fad diets come and go in the past 50 years. Don't succumb to the latest one.

My diet is that I get the proper amount required from the Four Basic Food groups but being older and having some health issues I need to tweak it a little. I tend to have high cholesterol so I have to watch that. I also take a One-a-Day for women over 50 and something called a "Gentle Iron" because I need a wee bit more than I get from my food.

CHART FROM 1976 Canada

Remember that MODERATION, BALANCE and INDIVIDUALITY are key to your diet.

I was deeply concerned when eating meat was turned into an evil thing in a big way during the 1970s (which caused a wave of Vegetarians) followed by villifying Dairy products next ( which created the Vegan movement). Now we know why when we look to Davos and the emerging political agendas of those involved.

Also, use your common sense. Any advertisement that tells you "you can lose weight without changing your diet or exercising" or that you can "shed extra pounds WHILE YOU SLEEP" are just people exploiting your desire to lose weight in order to make a buck! 🤨🤑

I am also very concerned about this latest Intermittent Fasting diet trend. 🤨🤔❗️As a Christian and Fasting being spoken of many times in the Bible, it is something I have done off and on for 45 years and am very familiar with. But it requires wisdom, knowledge and moderation. (as does EVERYTHING). But it is the latest current fad diet and even very reputable, well meaning doctors are missing some key things. For instance, they want you to work your way down to only ONE meal a day. HOWEVER, they are not keeping in mind your requirements from the Four Basic Food groups that cannot be consumed in just ONE meal a day.

(I will be discussing how to do Intermittent Fasting in an appropriate way in a future post)

Note MY personal FOUR BASIC FOOD chart from 1976 which I received when I was just ten years-old. (Oops! 🙊 Outed my age on the Internet again.) The reason I bring it up and include it is because I have watched it changed and "enhanced" many times throughout the decades according to whatever agenda is being pushed at the time. So please BEWARE of where (or from whom) you are getting your information.

"ALWAYS consider the source, Laura-Lee." 🤨

  "Yes, Mom."😌

(Actually Mom was WAY prettier than that emoji. Just FYI)

Also, the "Paleo Diet" which appeals greatly to men. Lots of meat but few vegetables, which is also unhealthy. It is a cultural,  emotional and economical push-back against the onslaught of Veganism (which is predominantly a female driven movement and now tied directly to occult things like witchcraft (wicca), paganism, yoga, New Age, etc. 

... which are all things for future blogs. 

For now, 

  I hope I have helped. 🙂

"Diet trends go in and out of style, but intermittent fasting has been a buzzy diet among celebs for a while. Plenty of people swear by the health and weight loss benefits. Still, even the same weight-loss method can work differently from person to person," (Women's Health Magazine)
