Ellen White offers clear, practical guidance on overcoming temptation. Here are the key points from her writings: 1. Jesus is your helper. In His strength, you can overcome temptation. Even if you have failed before, it need not always be so. Summon will-power and rely on Christ (CTBH 147.2). 2. Many feel powerless against temptation, but you can and must resist. Even repeated failure does not mean you are hopeless. God will help you if you do not despair (MH 174.6). 3. Temptations, especially those appealing to appetite, can only be overcome with God's help. God promises a way of escape with every temptation. Trust in Him and use the means He provides (CTBH 22.2). 4. When tempted, steadfastly resist evil. Pray for help, and believe that strength comes through Jesus. Look to Him for grace to overcome your faults (SL 90). 5. No one can be forced to sin; it requires your consent. Temptation is never an excuse for sin. Cry out to God for help, and He will assist you in every time of temptation (5T 177.2). 6. Prayer is essential. When temptations and trials come, go to God and pray earnestly. He will give you grace and strength to overcome (2SG 290.1). 7. Resist temptation as much as you can, and trust Jesus to do what you cannot. Be careful in your words and actions to avoid inviting temptation (3T 378.1). 8. The Bible says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4:7, 8; SJ 48.5). 9. One failure to overcome leaves the soul unguarded. Evil habits, if not resisted, become stronger. Constant prayer and reliance on God are necessary (MH 509.4). 10. Temptation is Satan’s act, but yielding is your own. No one can force you to sin. There is no excuse for sin (4T 623.2). 11. Avoid placing yourself needlessly in the way of temptation. Know your weaknesses and seek God’s help when duty calls you into difficult situations (GW92 371). 12. Even if someone falls repeatedly, do not give up on them. Continue to support and help them (MH 173.2). 13. Temptation will not be removed from life; everyone must learn to resist and stand firm (CTBH 153.4). In summary, Ellen White teaches that overcoming temptation is possible through faith in Christ, prayer, self-knowledge, and a determined will. God provides strength and a way of escape for every temptation, and no one is forced to sin. Persistent effort, reliance on divine help, and avoiding unnecessary exposure to temptation are key principles. If you need more specific guidance or examples, let me know! References: - White, E. G.

Ellen White strongly counsels against meat eating, especially in modern times, for several reasons: 1. Meat eating is causing disease. She repeatedly states that meat is often diseased and that eating it leads to various illnesses, including cancers, tumors, tuberculosis, and other affections. (HL 67.4, HL 79.1, HL 100.4, HL 100.7, HL 105.1, HL 105.2, 9T 159) 2. The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating. She warns that eating meat makes people more susceptible to disease and sudden death. (HL 62.8, HL 100.3, 2T 61, 2T 63.3) 3. Meat eating deranges the system, beclouds the intellect, and blunts the moral sensibilities. It is said to change the disposition and strengthen animalism, making it especially harmful for children. (HL 101.4, HL 102.1, 2T 63.3) 4. God’s original design is for people to subsist on fruits, grains, and vegetables. Among those waiting for Christ’s return, meat eating will eventually be done away with. (CTBH 119.1) 5. Flesh food is not the right food for God’s people where fruits, grains, and nuts are available. Meat eating is said to “animalize the nature” and give lower passions control over higher powers. (9T 159) 6. The process of preparing animals for market often results in diseased meat, which then introduces impurities into the human body. (2T 63.3) 7. Those who have always eaten meat should be treated tenderly as they learn about these principles. (HL 97.3) 8. Ellen White does not prescribe a precise diet for all, but urges that, where possible, God’s people should avoid flesh foods and move toward a plant-based diet. (CTBH 119.1, 9T 159) In summary, Ellen White advocates a gradual return to a plant-based diet, emphasizing fruits, grains, and vegetables as God’s ideal for humanity. She highlights health, moral, and spiritual reasons for moving away from meat eating, but also encourages patience and understanding for those transitioning to this lifestyle. References: - White, E.

According to available White Estate materials, there is no direct, annotated statement from Ellen White’s published books specifically identifying or explaining the "24 elders" of Revelation. The search results primarily discuss elders in the context of church leadership, the elders of Israel in Moses’ time, and general biblical counsel to elders (such as 1 Peter 5:1-4). None of these references address the symbolic 24 elders found in the book of Revelation.
