The Feast Day Cooking Rules: On ALL of the Feasts you can cook
regardless if you attend the holy gathering or not because food must be eaten
on those days except for the Day of Atonement, where we must fast. You can
heat up your food that you bring home from the feasts as well. If the feast day
falls on the weekly Sabbath, then you are not permitted to cook for your
family on that day. The only cooking that can be done is the food you are
presenting to the Lord at the holy gathering. Please share this information so
the confusion can die down and we can all be on one accord.

'Genetically Modified
Salmon'

'Black History Flyer'
You may have heard in the news recently, the FDA has
approved the sale of genetically modified salmon in stores.
These GM fish are not required to be labeled as such…
(Genetically modified, engineered or having transgenic
origins). The government has left the labeling requirements to
the manufacturer, if they choose to do so. So, would you be
able to identify genetically modified salmon if you saw it in
your local grocery store? The truth is, unless it is labeled as
such, you can’t!
Post it on your social media/network accounts (Face book,
LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) and Email.
What Are Some of the Reasons Behind Genetic
Modifications?
College students your help is needed to reach club/
organization advisors. Please email us naming your college if
you would like to help promote the IOG Black History series
there.
Thank you
The reasons behind the genetic modification of salmon stems
anywhere from an alternate source of sustainable food, less
impact to our natural resources of salmon, contributes to
helping the environment, but downplays the profit
corporations can make to produce and sell an engineered
product without labeling it as such. Should there be some
adverse effects from the consumption of this product in
consumers, animals and the ecosystem, who will be liable
seeing that the FDA has agreed that GM salmon is safe for
consumption as the product requires no labeling.

Told by the Prophets each Saturday at 12:00 P.M. Watch Live

What Did Scientists Do to Genetically Modify the Atlantic
salmon Subjects?
When the Atlantic salmon subjects were modified, a part or
parts were changed in their DNA without changing other
parts. The results produced a fish that looks similar to the
Atlantic salmon, but with different characteristics. Scientists
have changed the way it grows and have given these fish
genetically, the DNA from two different species. This is
known as being engineered from transgenic origins.
What’s Involved… The Outcome!
Scientists used parts from the Ocean Pout fish and the
Chinook salmon. The goal was to develop a bigger fish that
grows in much less time despite the fact that growth spurts in
natural wild salmon occur mostly in the spring and summer
times. It takes 16-36 months for salmon to grow to market
size.

the Israel of God Newsletter
The Ocean pout fish has an eel-like appearance which has
antifreeze proteins in its blood. These antifreeze proteins
enables it to withstand frigid temperatures and reproduce in
that type of environment. As for the Chinook salmon, it is
known as the king of salmons because of its large size.
The desired outcome was to (modify), increase the growth rate
of the salmon year-round without affecting its other
characteristics.
How Did Scientists Genetically Modify the Salmon?
Scientists took the (AFP) antifreeze (promoter gene) from the
ocean pout fish and a (GH) growth hormone gene from the
Chinook salmon. These genes were implanted into the Atlantic
salmon subjects at the embryonic /cellular level. At this stage,
their DNA was changed. This genetic modification, like a
switch, caused the growth hormone gene to stay on
continuously, accelerating the growth of the Atlantic salmon
subjects. The results are, the promoter (ocean pout antifreeze
gene + the growth hormone from the Chinook (King) salmon)
= an Atlantic salmon which can grow to market size in half the
time! $$$$$$$ Get the picture!
What Else Did Scientists Genetically Modify in These
Fish?
To satisfy concerns from the FDA about the possibility of
genetically modified fish mating with natural wild salmon,
they added an additional X chromosome which essentially
makes the GM salmon sterile. All the GM salmon were
engineered to be females to further decrease the possibility of
males breeding with females. Although more than 94% of all
the fish were completely sterile, the remaining percentage
were still able to reproduce. This small percentage was
considered to be non-threatening to the possibilities of the GM
salmon mating with natural wild salmon. These results
satisfied the FDA.
Studies, Concerns and Approvals
Although the company that currently produces these GM fish
AquaBounty, is a land-based operation, there are concerns that
if these fish were to enter the wild, they may not only mate
but, prey upon alternate sources. Because of their large size,
the thought is that they would not be seen as prey, granting
them longer existence in the wild. Remember, a little over 5%
of the test subjects were not completely sterile! Also, the
genetically altered salmon have smaller sized muscle fibers.
There also concerns that these fish could pose a health risk to
those who consume this type of fish.
In 2010, the FDA advisory panel concluded from the data they
reviewed was that the GM Atlantic salmon was still
considered to be Atlantic salmon. In November of 2015, the
FDA gave AquaBounty Technologies the approval to sell their
AquAdvantage salmon to US consumers. Because the FDA
concluded that there were no differences in the GM salmon,
such as in its nutritional profile, they need not be labeled as
genetically engineered. In the recent federal spending bill,
Congress has instructed the FDA on page 106, not to sell the
GM salmon until they put labeling guidelines in place. They
must also admit disclosure if a fish has been genetically
modified.
To date, labeling requirements are not required for the
AquAdvantage’s genetically modified salmon. To be safe,
should you want to purchase salmon in the future, your best
bet is to purchase wild caught salmon or go fishing. You
choose!

'Desire LOVE?'
By Sis. Dacia
We all desire love and love is a beautiful
thing. I share this message because at one
point I found myself seeking #LOVE but not in the right
order. I sought romantic love to fill voids, I sought romantic
love because society makes you feel less than when you're
single...like something is wrong with you. Whether you're
married or single there is always room to grow in Love. I
share this in LOVE hoping that someone is encouraged. Here
are a few steps to getting better results in Love.
LOVE GOD
1. Give it ALL to #God. This is ground zero. If we think we
can do anything without God we deceive ourselves. Pray. Fast.
Read. Repeat. Sometimes we want to jump to romantic love
and we haven't even begun to love God in totality. Not like,
"yeah, me and God are cool, I'm at church every week, or I'm
a good person." We must chase after God in the same way
some of us chase after a mate. Ask yourself, How can I love
God more? Does he really have my full attention? Is he
pleased with my relationship with Him? Don't forget who is
ALWAYS our first love.
P.s. You can't rush this step. Being happy and content with
God and God alone is a great place to be. If you are single,
rest in that place. God has you there for a reason. You're
building a foundation so you can stand on a strong and solid
rock. (And that rock was #Christ) In focusing on God,
learning about God, reading His Instruction manual, truly
understanding His plan for your life -- you give him complete

control of your life. He then can mold your mind, heal, and
guide you. God is LOVE.
LOVE YOURSELF
2. By learning how to love God you begin to truly LOVE
YOURSELF. This is your time to work on YOU. You
understand that you are wonderfully made, that you are God's
chosen, that you are beautiful and precious. When you truly
love yourself you can choose #peace, #happiness, #joy,
laughter, kindness, develop the strength to avoid negative
thoughts and negative people. You begin to make healthier
choices, treat your body right, discover new hobbies, and
embrace being #single. You begin to HEAL from past hurts
and disappointments. (Healing is so important. Take time to
heal and connect with the only one who can heal you.) You
don't substitute sex for love. I REPEAT, You don't substitute
sex for love. You begin to have the strength to remove anyone
from your inner circle that doesn't value you in the ways you
value yourself. You relinquish excess baggage and make
room for new love. You are content and genuinely #happy.
P.s. You can't rush this phase either. I can't stress how
important it is to really love yourself.
LOVE OTHERS
3. NOW. And only now are you ready and available to GIVE
and receive love. You attract LOVE because you are LOVE.
We attract what we are. So, You'll be happier when you've
taken time to connect with God and learn to love yourself
more. As a result you will build better friendships and
#relationships (romantic or non-romantic). (Acquiring love
isn't always about romantic relationships. Remember we can't
profess we love God if we can't love our brother we see
everyday.) All in all it is important to be patient. You aren't
holding your breath waiting on the next person to come along.
You aren't #hurt or disappointed that it hasn't happened yet.
You aren't focused on it. It just comes... And at that perfect
time, God's time, you will receive LOVE.
Life and love is about growth. It's NEVER too late to grow in
love. The secret is you will always work on loving God,
Loving yourself, and Loving others.
Hope you have a LOVEly day.
Until next time....stay prayed up!

Meat Glue (Transglutaminase)
In commercial food processing, transglutaminase is used to
bond proteins together. Examples of foods made using
transglutaminase include imitation crabmeat, and fish balls. It
is produced by Streptoverticillium mobaraense fermentation in
commercial quantities or extracted from animal blood (blood
plasma of pigs and cows, specifically the coagulant that makes
blood clot), and is used in a variety of processes, including the
production of processed meat and fish products.
Transglutaminase can be used as a binding agent to improve
the texture of protein-rich foods such as surimi (ground meat)
or ham. Reference: Wikipedia
OK and not just a K. There are several kosher organizations
that accept chemically modified pork gelatin.
Here's a list of their kosher products:

Jiffy Mix
The Vegetarian Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix is produced on the
same equipment with the product containing lard. It is
Unclean.
It is our insistence that if you buy chicken nuggets, fish
nuggets, filet mignon, or any meat product that you may think
was made with this ingredient, please contact the company to
verify whether meat glue was used or not. We know that it is
against God's Dietary Law to consume blood, so be careful.

Mercola: The Dangers of Meat Glue
Wines, Beers & Liquors
During the fining process (the process of making proteins in a
wine clump together so it can easily be removed) some wine
companies use gelatin (pork, beef, etc.), shellfish and/or
isinglass (from catfish), egg whites or egg shells. For this
reason, please make sure the liquor you purchase is clean. The
following website has a search engine for vegan wines, beer
and other liquors: http://www.barnivore.com/ Use it or contact
the company that makes the product you want to purchase and
inquire about the ingredients and the fining process that is
used.

Psalms 120:1-7
In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard
me. (2) Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,
and from a deceitful tongue. (3) What shall be
given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee,
thou false tongue? (4) Sharp arrows of the
mighty, with coals of juniper. (5) Woe is me, that
I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of
Kedar! (6) My soul hath long dwelt with him that
hateth peace. (7) I am for peace: but when I
speak, they are for war.
Praise the name of JESUS!

When you’re broken and a wreck; and your heart has
shattered, unable to mend itself. Let God be that glue
that re-unites you. Let God rescue you from you.
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but
the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He
keepeth all his bones: not one of them is
broken." - Psalms 34: 19,20
'Broken'
Shattered am I; unable to gather the pieces of my
existence. With eyes wide open that cannot see; I’ve lost
my identity. I need someone to rescue me.
Overwhelmed by life; its pressures weigh heavy on my
heart. It’s beating, yet I can’t seem to breathe. So I
sparingly take a breath or two for some relief. As I
approach my bedroom dresser there’s a reflection in the
mirror, who’s that stranger? There’s a face I don’t
recognize starring back at me.
An open wound am I, emotionally bleeding on the
inside. Exposed to those with eyes to see, I retreat
within trying to hide from me. I open my mouth but
there is no sound coming out. Am I going insane? Am I
losing my mind? My soul began screaming violently, so
loud my ears started tingling. My hands began to move.
Am I losing physical control? As though they had a mind
of their own, my hands reach out for help; suddenly they
came together in prayer.
We enter this universe pure, whole and innocent. Over
exposed to a world of greed and lust, leave ones true self
broken into pieces. We live for the sake of mending but
by ourselves that’s unrealistic. We reach out to others,
looking for a remedy? Most often friends and family
don’t know how to help me. Who do you turn to?
An empty life unfulfilled, going nowhere fast, a crooked
path; guilt and pain, feels like hell. I had a break
through, only after I broke down. That’s when I found
my joy; when I turned back to the Lord. That’s what it
took to emerge from this broken state of mind. It
humbled me, giving me the courage to reach out for
help; no shame in that. I started with prayer, forgiving
myself.
Evaporating – my soul feels like it's floating away; can’t
catch up to it. I got kicked out of my life. A life I no
longer regret. Those pressures - weight on my shoulders
- knees bent, ankles shackled no longer exist. Mind and
soul – set free to live a life of joy with the Lord. Not
having to live up to others expectations, faithful to God
not man who God created.
In the beginning, God breathe life into man. Let God
breathe life back into your weary mind. Start your life all
over again. He’ll never leave you, let him heal you. What
can man do for you that God can’t do better, his help will
last forever.
“ In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my
God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came
before him, even into his ears." - Psalms 18:6
