Yesterday, Rev. Malkmus (AKA Dad), announced that the All I want for Christmas… Health Tip would be his last. Most people wouldn’t appreciate what is involved with writing a blog but let me just say that it takes a lot of work. And I can say, that Dad being the perfectionist, that he is has put his heart and soul into each and every one.
945 health tips, or 945 articles. Can you imagine? That is over 18 years of writing one tip every week! For each tip a topic or theme needs to be identified. Then the research, drafting, writing, reviewing, editing and re-writing ensues. Be assured, a lot of effort goes into creating one not to mention 18 years’ worth. Ann and I often comments about how much effort goes into our Health Days each week. Its hard to believe how quickly the weeks fly by and before you know it we’re on the next deadline.
Now, some people use what they call ghost writers, people who are paid to write the article. But, not Rev. Malkmus! He has written nearly every one one of them completely by himself. Even when he had the hectic travel/speaking schedule. Before he would leave on a trip, he would try to get a couple written in advance so his tips went out on time as scheduled. Of course, Rhonda has always been his sounding board, reviewer and cheerleader.
The testimonies that have poured in have kept him motivated to keep writing. There have been several times over the years when he started to lose the motivation to keep writing but then a special healing report would come in his email and he would be re-inspired to keep going. I was actually starting to wonder if he would ever really say “enough is enough” and stop writing. Over the years we’ve encouraged Dad to stop or at least cut back as he felt led. Well, I guess that time has finally come.
I’ve always been amazed at how new and fresh the Genesis 1:29 message has always been to Rev. Malkmus. Dad can write nearly the same things he has written many times before and get excited to be able to read it to anyone who would listen just as if it was the first time he ever uttered those words. He has never gotten tired of sharing this life giving message the Lord gave him nearly 30 years ago.
His love of God and the Bible has also been inspiring to many. Not only to me and our family but also to so many he has impacted over the years. Here are just a few of the verses that he has quoted over and over again throughout the his many writings (and lectures).
Genesis 1:29 –
Romans 12:1 –And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Roman’s 12:2 –I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
3 John 1:2 –And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Psalms 139:14 –Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Deuteronomy 30:19 –I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
And let’s not forget Galatians 6:7 –I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
So what now? Rev. Malkmus’ health tip has been used to maintain the Biblical grounding of the Hallelujah Diet message. How God created our miraculous self-healing bodes then provided us with specific instructions how to nourish these beautiful bodies in Genesis 1:29 is the foundation of who we are. And, it will always be this way. The Hallelujah Diet is God’s gift to man-kind has been delivered effectively by Rev. Malkmus for many years. But, just because Dad is no longer writing the health tip doesn’t mean his voice and this foundational/core message will cease. Rather, the Hallelujah Health tip will continue to deliver the same type of convicting, biblically inspired messages that have been presented for over 18 years. This is core to the belief structure of the Hallelujah Diet team. A breakout of the current schedule of health messages provided by the Hallelujah Diet includes:Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
