🌿 Sunlight and Gods Healing Plan
We are grateful for the encouraging update from Pastor Ted Wilson regarding Sister Nancys recovery. As she spends time in the sunshine each day, she is experiencing the blessing of one of Gods simple natural remedies.
The counsels found in Ministry of Healing remind us that God has given eight natural remedies for health and restoration: pure air, sunlight, temperance, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, and trust in divine power. These principles continue to bring strength and recovery when practiced with faith.
At NEWSTART we daily witness how the simple methods God has provided support the body in healing and bring harmony to physical, mental, social, and spiritual life.
Our prayer is the promise of 3 John 2 Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers

Recently, Dr. Roger Seheult posted the following message on my X account: "Blessings Pastor! May I suggest for your dear wife that as far as it is possible to get her outside into the sunshine for at least 30 minutes as there is ample evidence that it helps heal and also reduces the need for pain medication in post-op period!" He then linked to a study giving evidence for this (see link at the end of this post).
I want to thank Dr Robert Seheult for his excellent advice for my wife, Nancy, to spend at least 30 minutes a day in the sunshine as she recuperates from a fall which broke her upper femur which resulted in major orthopedic surgery. She is recovering very well and we praise God……and she has been spending time out in the sunshine to aid in her recovery.
Sunlight is one of God’s natural remedies and we praise Him. In the Spirit of Prophecy writings of Ellen G White, which I believe are direct instructions from God in heaven, we note in the book “Ministry of Healing,” page 127, that God’s eight natural remedies are: pure air, sunlight, temperance, rest, exercise, proper diet, use of water, and trust in divine power. What a blessing to have these precious instructions and follow them, by God’s grace and power.
In the following months, we will be emphasizing various health presentations since this is intrinsic to our overall understanding of being a whole person created by God with physical, mental, social, and spiritual components. We are told in the Spirit of Prophecy that health is an integral part of the third angel’s message of Revelation 14:9-12. We will have presentations on comprehensive health ministry (medical missionary work), better health, healthy lifestyles, health reform, and other topics. The plan is to obtain various, uplifting presentations from various places like the General Conference Health Ministries Department, Loma Linda University Health, Weimar University, and other sources. We will periodically share these helpful presentations to God’s glory.
One of the most fascinating presentations I have heard is by Dr Roger Seheult on sunlight. We will share that presentation with you in an upcoming post and we thank Dr Seheult for his excellent research and commitment to godly, practical, and helpful presentations.
Nancy and I have been very positively impressed and blessed by Dr Seheult’s presentation and this picture of health recovery of Nancy shows our practical application to this wonderful presentation by Dr Seheult of Loma Linda University Health.
Here is the link that Dr Seheult posted on my X account. It is an abstract to a study showing that exposure to sunlight can significantly reduce pain in patients after surgery: https://journals.lww.com/bsam/abstract/2005/01000/the_effect_of_sunlight_on_postoperative_analgesic.22.aspx
May you experience health in all areas of life. As III John 2 says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers.” By God’s grace, may you be in health physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.
