God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is this most obvious aspect of our Lord’s teaching which has been forgotten or ignored by modern evangelism. Anxious to bring sinners to life, peace and joy in the Lord, evangelists have failed even to mention that Christ insists upon denial of self at the outset. Having failed to pass on our Lord’s requirement, and forgetting it themselves, evangelists have never questioned whether their “converts” with self-centered lives are true followers of Christ. Assuming that it is possible for a man to be self-indulgent and yet heaven-bound, Bible teachers look for some way to bring ego-centric men to a higher spiritual plane. Then self-denial is taught as the requirement for a second work of grace. But Luke 9:23-24 shows that unless a man lives a life of self-denial, he has not received a first work of grace.

David Brainerd prayed with fasting for the Lord's leadership regarding his entry into ministry. He said of his experience during that day, “I felt the power of intercession for precious, immortal souls; for the advancement of the kingdom of my dear Lord and Saviour in the world; and withal, a most sweet resignation and even consolation and joy in the thoughts of suffering hardships, distresses, and even death itself, in the promotion of it…. My soul was drawn out very much for the world, for multitudes of souls. I think I had more enlargement for sinners than for the children of God, though I felt as if I could spend my life in cries for both. I enjoyed great sweetness in communion with my dear Saviour. I think I never in my life felt such an entire weanedness from this world and so much resigned to God in everything.

High in vitamin C and selenium.
Following are some recipes (which I have not tried) from the book "Juicing
For Good Health" by Maureen B. Keane. It lists by chapter what juices are
good for certain ailments, for example, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and
also has recipes for juices for children, teens and adults.
Remove caps from strawberries and juice fruit. Pour into tall glass and
fill with sparkling water. Garnish with a whole strawberry.
