The Hunger of the Hawaiian People for

Righteousness

Demonstration of His Superiority

“And Kapiolani came unto all the people, and said, “How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Pele, then follow her.”

1 Kings 18:21

Rev. Sheldon Dibble wrote:

“The spirit of our general meeting of 1836 seemed to be blessed of the Lord. The state of mind that led us to pray much was indeed a preparation for revival among ourselves.

“All…were thoroughly convinced that the present measure of prayer …(was) inadequate.

Ben Franklin Saw Change

"wonderful...change soon made in the manners of our inhabitants. From being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it seem'd as if all the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk thro' the town in an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of every street.”

Beware of those who teach to abstain from certain foods:

During Time of “Free-Eating”

The Spirit says clearly that some people will

abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and … the teachings of demons … Such people teach that it is wrong to marry and to eat certain foods.

But God created those foods to be eaten, … Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected… because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.

Enjoy! Enjoy!
