Min.Rhonda J Smith joins Claudette Milner to discuss her signature program Fasting for Life

DETROIT - July 14, 2015 - PRLog -- Host  of A Matter of Interpretation, Claudette Milner, began her series of Violence Against Women on July 12, 2015.  She had this to say about her guest. The series will conclude in late August. My guests are women who share their personal testimonies of sexual violence.  They are survivors who have turned their pain into triumph and share their knowledge and skills with other women. I am priviledged to have them as guest on my show.

Min Rhonda J Smith began Soul Delights three years ago after compiling holistic remedies for  over 20 years. Her theme comes from 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁹ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

The purpose of the program is to assist individuals with renewing their spirit as well as changing their diet so they can edify God's temple. It is the perfect program for individuals that watch the clock while completing a spiritual fast.

She also gave some helpful hints which included: cleaning non-organic
fruit with food grade hydrogen peroxide that you get from the health food
store. Directions should be included; Use of colloidal silver is an effective
natural antibiotic that doesn't get rid of good bacteria that your body
needs; and the use of neem oil as a natural pesticide and adding vitamin B and vitamin D to your daily plan to heal your immune system.

Rhonda J. Smith is a wife, mother, minister, teacher, writer, speaker and friend who is dedicated to marriage, motherhood and ministry. Her great desire is to see people prosper in their bodies and spirits.
