00:00:16.06\00:00:17.90
LOVE.

TODAY'S PRESENTATION IS AN
EXCERPT FROM THE "MILLENNIUM
00:00:45.30\00:00:47.80
OF PROPHECY" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:47.80\00:00:50.00
>> OUR STORY COMES FROM
THE OLD TESTAMENT AND, AGAIN,
00:00:54.86\00:00:58.36
FROM THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
00:00:58.36\00:01:00.30
KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR, JUST BEFORE
HE SACKED JERUSALEM AND BURNT
00:01:00.30\00:01:03.60
THE TEMPLE, HE CARRIED
AWAY TO BABYLON SOME PEOPLE WHO
00:01:03.60\00:01:07.66
WOULD SERVE IN THE PALACE.
00:01:07.66\00:01:10.00
AMONG THE CAPTIVES THAT
WERE BROUGHT TO BABYLON WERE
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.60
FOUR YOUNG MEN THAT SHOWED
PROMISE OF BEING COUNSELORS.
00:01:12.60\00:01:16.43
AND THEY WERE GOING TO TRAIN FOR
3 YEARS TO STUDY TO BE WISE MEN
00:01:16.43\00:01:20.06
AND COUNSELORS TO STAND
BEFORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR TO LEARN
00:01:20.06\00:01:22.96
THE SCIENCES AND THE MATH AND
THE LANGUAGE OF THE BABYLONIANS.
00:01:22.96\00:01:27.40
AND THE KING PROMISED TO FEED
THEM FROM THE ROYAL CAFETERIA,
00:01:27.40\00:01:30.36
BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
00:01:30.36\00:01:32.16
THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WERE
ON THE MENU IN THE BABYLONIAN
00:01:32.16\00:01:35.16
CAFETERIA THAT THESE HEBREW
YOUNG MEN WERE FORBIDDEN TO EAT.
00:01:35.16\00:01:39.43
AND DANIEL APPROACHED THE CHIEF
OF THE EUNUCHS WHOSE NAME WAS
00:01:39.43\00:01:43.36
ASHPENAZ AND HE HAD "PURPOSED
IN HIS HEART THAT HE WOULD NOT
00:01:43.36\00:01:47.33
DEFILE HIMSELF WITH THE
PORTION OF THE KING'S MEAT."
00:01:47.33\00:01:50.86
HE SAID, "PROVE THY SERVANTS,
I BESEECH THEE, TEN DAYS; AND
00:01:50.86\00:01:55.16
LET THEM GIVE US PULSE
TO EAT, AND WATER TO DRINK."
00:01:55.16\00:01:59.50
AND HE SAYS, "GIVE US 10
DAYS, LET US EAT VEGETABLES,"
00:01:59.50\00:02:01.90
IT WAS LIKE VEGETABLE STEW,
LENTILS AND WATER TO DRINK,
00:02:01.90\00:02:04.50
"AND YOU SEE HOW WE LOOK?
00:02:04.50\00:02:06.26
SEE IF WE'RE NOT HEALTHIER THAN
THE ONES WHO EAT THE EXOTIC FOOD
00:02:06.26\00:02:08.46
FROM THE BABYLONIAN CAFETERIA."
00:02:08.46\00:02:11.33
THE BIBLE TELLS US, "AT THE END
OF 10 DAYS THEIR COUNTENANCES
00:02:11.33\00:02:15.33
APPEARED FAIRER AND FATTER
IN FLESH THAN ALL THE CHILDREN
00:02:15.33\00:02:19.30
WHICH DID EAT THE
PORTION OF THE KING'S MEAT."
00:02:19.30\00:02:22.03
NEBUCHADNEZZAR HIMSELF
EXAMINED THOSE YOUNG MEN.
00:02:22.03\00:02:24.96
NOT ONLY WERE THEY 10 TIMES
WISER AFTER THEIR 10-DAY TEST,
00:02:24.96\00:02:28.76
BUT THE BIBLE GOES ON TO
SAY THAT DANIEL LIVED UNTIL
00:02:28.76\00:02:31.63
THE REIGN OF KING CYRUS.
00:02:31.63\00:02:33.40
HE LIVED TO BE
APPROXIMATELY 100 YEARS OF AGE.
00:02:33.40\00:02:36.36
ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT THIS
GREAT PERSON IN THE BIBLE CALLED
00:02:36.36\00:02:39.60
DANIEL WHOSE RENOWNED FOR HIS
WISDOM, EVEN IN THE BIBLE, FOR
00:02:39.60\00:02:43.63
HIS DEDICATION TO GOD, FOR
HIS HOLINESS, HIS BOOK BEGINS
00:02:43.63\00:02:46.80
BY SAYING HE MADE A DECISION
IN HIS YOUTH NOT TO DEFILE
00:02:46.80\00:02:50.73
HIMSELF WITH UNCLEAN FOOD.
00:02:50.73\00:02:52.83
AND GOD BLESSED
HIM FOR THAT RESOLVE.
00:02:52.83\00:02:55.10
HE WAS WISER AND HE LIVED LONGER
AND HE HAD GOD SPEAKING TO HIM
00:02:55.10\00:02:59.13
AND THROUGH HIM AS A
RESULT OF THAT COMMITMENT.
00:02:59.13\00:03:02.43
LET'S GO RIGHT TO OUR LESSON.
00:03:02.43\00:03:03.56
IS GOD CONCERNED
WITH OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH?
00:03:03.56\00:03:07.20
THIS IS THE REAL QUESTION WE
NEED TO ADDRESS IN THIS STUDY.
00:03:07.20\00:03:10.76
ANSWER: YES, OF COURSE HE IS.
00:03:10.76\00:03:12.46
"JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE,
TEACHING IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES,
00:03:12.46\00:03:16.36
AND PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM, AND HEALING ALL MANNER
00:03:16.36\00:03:21.40
OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER
OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE."
00:03:21.40\00:03:25.16
YOU KNOW, WE SOMETIMES
MISUNDERSTAND THE STRONG
00:03:25.16\00:03:27.86
CONNECTION BETWEEN
THE MIND AND THE SOUL.
00:03:27.86\00:03:31.20
LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS LESSON
IS SO VERY CRUCIAL AND IT'S
00:03:31.20\00:03:34.46
INCLUDED IN A PROPHECY SEMINAR.
00:03:34.46\00:03:36.43
GOD COMMUNICATES WITH
YOU THROUGH YOUR BRAIN.
00:03:36.43\00:03:41.00
THIS IS THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:03:41.00\00:03:42.70
THIS IS THE MOST SACRED
OF ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY.
00:03:42.70\00:03:45.63
NOW, HAVING SAID THAT, GOD KNOWS
HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR YOU TO
00:03:45.63\00:03:50.60
HAVE A CLEAR MIND TO COMPREHEND
WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING
00:03:50.60\00:03:54.00
TO YOU.
00:03:54.00\00:03:55.20
THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT IF
HE CAN CLOUD AND BEFUDDLE OUR
00:03:55.20\00:03:58.16
SENSIBILITIES WITH DRUGS AND BAD
LIVING HABITS SO THAT OUR BRAINS
00:03:58.16\00:04:02.43
ARE SLOW AND LETHARGIC AND
CONGESTED, THEN WE DO NOT HAVE
00:04:02.43\00:04:07.00
THE MENTAL RESOLVE TO NOT
ONLY COMPREHEND SPIRITUAL TRUTH.
00:04:07.00\00:04:10.76
BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE
FORTITUDE TO RESIST TEMPTATION.
00:04:10.76\00:04:14.13
THAT'S WHY WHEN PEOPLE
ARE DRINKING ALCOHOL OR UNDER
00:04:14.13\00:04:17.10
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, THEY
HAVE MUCH LESS RESISTANCE TO
00:04:17.10\00:04:20.60
TEMPTATION AND
THEY'RE JUDGMENT IS IMPAIRED.
00:04:20.60\00:04:24.00
THE LORD WANTS YOU TO HAVE
GOOD JUDGMENT AND HEALTH CANNOT
00:04:24.00\00:04:26.96
BE SEPARATED FROM THAT.
00:04:26.96\00:04:28.86
SOME PEOPLE THINK ONCE YOU
ACCEPT JESUS AND YOU SAY YOU
00:04:28.86\00:04:30.86
LOVE THE LORD THAT YOU CAN ABUSE
YOUR BODY AND ABUSE YOUR MIND
00:04:30.86\00:04:33.90
AND IT WILL NOT HAVE
AN EFFECT ON YOUR SOUL.
00:04:33.90\00:04:36.16
THAT IS A LIE.
00:04:36.16\00:04:37.90
IT'S A DOCTRINE OF DEVILS THAT
WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT YOU DRINK
00:04:37.90\00:04:40.80
HAS NO EFFECT ON YOUR
SPIRITUAL SENSIBILITIES.
00:04:40.80\00:04:45.90
YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO.
00:04:45.90\00:04:47.00
GOD PROMISED THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL THAT IF THEY WOULD SERVE
00:04:47.00\00:04:49.46
AND OBEY HIM, HE WOULD
REMOVE ALL SICKNESS FROM THEM.
00:04:49.46\00:04:52.73
DID GOD KEEP HIS PROMISE?
00:04:52.73\00:04:54.93
YEAH, HE DID.
00:04:54.93\00:04:56.13
YOU REMEMBER, THEY WENT THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS FOR 40 YEARS.
00:04:56.13\00:04:58.43
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US SOME
OF THEM DIED FROM DISOBEDIENCE
00:04:58.43\00:05:02.56
WHEN THEY WERE
PLAGUED OR CURSED BY THE LORD.
00:05:02.56\00:05:04.73
BUT WHEN THEY OBEYED THE LAWS
GOD HAD GIVEN THEM, THEY ATE
00:05:04.73\00:05:08.50
THE MANNA FROM HEAVEN.
00:05:08.50\00:05:10.60
THEY DRANK THE WATER
FROM THAT MIRACLE ROCK.
00:05:10.60\00:05:13.66
THEY WALKED AROUND GETTING LOTS
OF OXYGEN AND SUNSHINE THERE
00:05:13.66\00:05:17.26
IN THE DESERT AND EXERCISE.
00:05:17.26\00:05:19.26
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT WHEN
MOSES LED THEM INTO THE PROMISED
00:05:19.26\00:05:22.50
LAND, "HE BROUGHT THEM FORTH,
THERE WAS NOT ONE FEEBLE PERSON
00:05:22.50\00:05:27.80
AMONG THEIR TRIBES."
00:05:27.80\00:05:29.30
I WANT TO HEAR
YOU SAY THAT AGAIN.
00:05:29.30\00:05:30.63
"THERE WAS NOT ONE FEEBLE
PERSON AMONG THEIR TRIBES."
00:05:30.63\00:05:35.13
HOW MANY OF THEM WERE THERE?
00:05:35.13\00:05:36.56
IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD OF 3 MILLION.
00:05:36.56\00:05:38.86
CAN YOU IMAGINE A NATION OF
3 MILLION PEOPLE AND YOU DO NOT
00:05:38.86\00:05:42.83
EVEN HAVE A FIRST-AID TENT?
00:05:42.83\00:05:45.26
NOBODY'S SICK.
00:05:45.26\00:05:46.70
NOBODY'S IN A NURSING HOME.
00:05:46.70\00:05:48.40
IF WE LIVE THE WAY GOD DESIGNED
THAT WE SHOULD LIVE, NOT ONLY
00:05:48.40\00:05:52.06
WOULD WE LIVE
LONGER, WE'D DIE BETTER.
00:05:52.06\00:05:54.66
I'M NOT OF THAT GROUP THAT
BELIEVES THAT IF YOU FOLLOW ALL
00:05:54.66\00:05:57.33
THESE HEALTH PRINCIPLES,
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET SICK,
00:05:57.33\00:05:59.46
NEVER GOING TO DIE.
00:05:59.46\00:06:00.50
NO, YOU'RE EVENTUALLY GOING
TO DIE BECAUSE OUR BODIES ARE
00:06:00.50\00:06:02.23
AFFECTED BY SIN.
00:06:02.23\00:06:03.23
EVEN MOSES DIED,
BUT HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
00:06:03.23\00:06:05.66
GOD SAID, "MOSES,
YOU'RE 120, TIME TO DIE.
00:06:05.66\00:06:08.46
CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN AND DIE."
00:06:08.46\00:06:10.26
AND THE BIBLE SAYS, "HIS
NATURAL FORCE WAS NOT ABATED
00:06:10.26\00:06:13.96
AND HIS EYES HAD NOT DIMMED."
00:06:13.96\00:06:16.16
YOU KNOW, I HAVE A NUMBER OF
FRIENDS WHO ARE SAINTS THAT HAVE
00:06:16.16\00:06:19.20
FOLLOWED THESE
BIBLICAL HEALTH PRACTICES.
00:06:19.20\00:06:21.26
THEY TYPICALLY LIVE INTO
THEIR 90s AND THEY EITHER DIE
00:06:21.26\00:06:24.10
IN THEIR SLEEP OR THEY
FALL OVER IN THEIR GARDEN.
00:06:24.10\00:06:26.66
AND I DON'T MEAN TO BE CRASS
BUT IF I'M GOING TO GO, THAT'S
00:06:26.66\00:06:28.43
THE WAY TO GO, RIGHT?
00:06:28.43\00:06:29.80
SO MANY PEOPLE, THEY
HAVE THESE LONG, EXTENDED,
00:06:29.80\00:06:32.26
LANGUISHING ILLNESSES.
00:06:32.26\00:06:33.70
AND I'M NOT SAYING IF YOU FOLLOW
ALL THE HEALTH PRACTICES, YOU'RE
00:06:33.70\00:06:36.10
NEVER GOING TO GET SICK BUT
YOU INCREASE YOUR ODDS OF LIVING
00:06:36.10\00:06:40.23
LONGER AND ENJOYING YOUR LIFE
LONGER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
00:06:40.23\00:06:43.90
OF TIME.
00:06:43.90\00:06:45.33
WHAT IS A GOOD BIBLE
RULE FOR HEALTHFUL LIVING?
00:06:45.33\00:06:48.50
1 CORINTHIANS 10:31, "WHETHER
THEREFORE YOU EAT, OR DRINK,
00:06:48.50\00:06:54.23
OR WHATSOEVER YOU DO, DO
ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD."
00:06:54.23\00:06:57.66
NOW, DOES IT STAND TO REASON
TO YOU THAT IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO
00:06:57.66\00:07:00.43
EAT AND DRINK TO GOD'S GLORY,
IT MUST ALSO BE POSSIBLE TO NOT
00:07:00.43\00:07:03.73
EAT AND DRINK TO GOD'S GLORY,
TO DISHONOR GOD BY THE WAY
00:07:03.73\00:07:08.36
WE EAT AND DRINK?
00:07:08.36\00:07:09.63
YOU READ IN ECCLESIASTES WHERE
THERE'S A BLESSING PRONOUNCED
00:07:09.63\00:07:12.96
ON THE LAND WHERE THEY'VE GOT
A RULER WHO "EATS IN DUE SEASON
00:07:12.96\00:07:16.70
FOR STRENGTH AND
NOT FOR DRUNKENNESS."
00:07:16.70\00:07:19.73
YOU KNOW, IN OUR SOCIETY,
MOST PEOPLE LIVE TO EAT INSTEAD
00:07:19.73\00:07:22.93
OF EATING TO LIVE.
00:07:22.93\00:07:25.43
JESUS SAID THERE WILL BE
MANY PEOPLE LOST WHEN HE COMES
00:07:25.43\00:07:27.93
BECAUSE THEY'RE PREOCCUPIED
WITH EATING AND DRINKING AND
00:07:27.93\00:07:31.23
THE CARES OF THIS LIFE, SO THAT
DAY OVERTAKES THEM AS A THIEF.
00:07:31.23\00:07:35.70
WHAT YOU DO NOT CONTROL WILL
ULTIMATELY CONTROL YOU, FRIENDS.
00:07:35.70\00:07:39.46
A CHRISTIAN SHOULD HAVE CONTROL
OVER THE DESIRES AND PASSIONS
00:07:39.46\00:07:43.63
OF THE BODY.
00:07:43.63\00:07:44.86
THAT'S NOT ONLY
TALKING ABOUT SEXUAL PASSION.
00:07:44.86\00:07:47.46
IT'S TALKING
ABOUT THE APPETITES.
00:07:47.46\00:07:49.56
LET'S GET INTO THE FOODS
AND THE BIBLE'S SPECIFICATIONS.
00:07:49.56\00:07:52.36
WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL DIET
THAT GOD DESIGNED FOR HUMANS?
00:07:52.36\00:07:57.00
ANSWER: YOU
FIND IN GENESIS 1:29,
00:07:57.00\00:08:00.56
"GOD SAID, BEHOLD, I HAVE GIVEN
YOU EVERY HERB BEARING SEED,
00:08:00.56\00:08:05.50
AND EVERY TREE, IN THE WHICH
IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING
00:08:05.50\00:08:10.73
SEED; TO YOU IT
SHALL BE FOR MEAT."
00:08:10.73\00:08:13.40
AND OF COURSE, THAT WORD "MEAT"
THERE, LIKE THE MEAT OF A NUT,
00:08:13.40\00:08:15.96
IT MEANS IT SHALL BE YOUR FOOD.
00:08:15.96\00:08:17.43
IT SHALL BE YOUR PROVISION.
00:08:17.43\00:08:18.80
THE ORIGINAL DIET FOR MAN
WAS NOT ONLY A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:08:18.80\00:08:24.00
IT WAS FRUITS, GRAINS AND NUTS.
00:08:24.00\00:08:27.16
AFTER ADAM AND EVE SINNED, WHAT
SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD DID GOD ADD
00:08:27.16\00:08:31.00
TO THEIR DIETS?
00:08:31.00\00:08:32.53
YOU REMEMBER AFTER THEY
WERE EXPELLED FROM THE GARDEN OF
00:08:32.53\00:08:34.56
EDEN, THEY COULD NO LONGER
EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE.
00:08:34.56\00:08:36.96
GOD SAID, "NOW YOU SHALL
EAT THE HERB OF THE FIELD."
00:08:36.96\00:08:40.60
THE HERB OF THE FIELD BEING
VEGETABLES WERE ADDED TO MAN'S
00:08:40.60\00:08:43.30
DIET.
00:08:43.30\00:08:44.20
GOD PERHAPS KNEW THAT WHEN
MAN COULD NO LONGER EAT FROM THE
00:08:44.20\00:08:47.06
TREE OF LIFE, HE NEEDED SOME
ADDITIONAL ENZYMES OR SOMETHING
00:08:47.06\00:08:50.00
THAT WERE MISSING FROM HIS DIET,
AND HE ALSO ADDED VEGETABLES.
00:08:50.00\00:08:53.66
AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF
KIDS OUT THERE THAT WERE SORRY
00:08:53.66\00:08:55.56
THAT GOD ADDED
VEGETABLES TO THE DIET, RIGHT?
00:08:55.56\00:08:58.73
WHAT MAMMALS DOES
GOD PERMIT HUMANS TO EAT?
00:08:58.73\00:09:02.10
IT TELLS US IN LEVITICUS 11:13,
"WHATSOEVER PARTETH THE HOOF,
00:09:02.10\00:09:07.96
AND IS CLOVENFOOTED,
AND CHEWETH THE CUD."
00:09:07.96\00:09:11.80
NOW, GOD DID SAY THAT
IT WAS PERMISSIBLE FOR MAN
00:09:11.80\00:09:15.43
TO EAT CERTAIN ANIMALS.
00:09:15.43\00:09:17.40
HIS ORIGINAL PLAN
WAS A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:09:17.40\00:09:19.76
AFTER THE FLOOD, MAN BEGAN
TO EAT MORE AND MORE ANIMALS
00:09:19.76\00:09:22.90
BECAUSE THEY'D BEEN
DESTROYED--THE VEGETATION
00:09:22.90\00:09:24.86
HAD BEEN LARGELY
DESTROYED BY THE FLOOD.
00:09:24.86\00:09:27.23
BUT GOD SAID IF YOU'RE GOING
TO EAT ANIMALS, MAKE SURE IT
00:09:27.23\00:09:30.80
HAS THESE TWO CHARACTERISTICS:
CLOVEN HOOF, SPLIT HOOF,
00:09:30.80\00:09:34.06
AND CHEW THE CUD.
00:09:34.06\00:09:35.56
IT NEEDS BOTH CHARACTERISTICS.
00:09:35.56\00:09:37.10
JUST BECAUSE GOD MAKES
A PROVISION DOESN'T MEAN
00:09:37.10\00:09:39.70
EATING MEAT IS GOOD FOR YOU.
00:09:39.70\00:09:42.80
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT
THE NEWS LATELY AND YOU CAN FIND
00:09:42.80\00:09:45.80
OUT THAT IT GETS MORE AND
MORE DANGEROUS TO EAT MEAT.
00:09:45.80\00:09:49.06
"CAN THIS MEAT KILL YOU?"
00:09:49.06\00:09:51.00
THE GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
THE E.COLI THREAT, AND IT'S NOT
00:09:51.00\00:09:54.10
ONLY PROBLEMS WITH THE BEEF.
00:09:54.10\00:09:55.83
THEY'VE GOT THE MAD COW DISEASE
IN THE U.S., AND YOU'VE HEARD
00:09:55.83\00:09:58.76
ABOUT THAT AND IN BRITAIN.
00:09:58.76\00:10:02.06
AND THEY'VE GOT, OF COURSE,
NOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:10:02.06\00:10:04.43
MAD PIG DISEASE.
00:10:04.43\00:10:05.93
THIS IS A PICTURE OF ALL THESE
PIGS THAT HAD TO BE EXTERMINATED
00:10:05.93\00:10:08.90
'CAUSE THEY HAD MAD PIG DISEASE.
00:10:08.90\00:10:13.16
INCIDENTALLY, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T
NOTICE, I'M SORT OF PUSHING
00:10:13.16\00:10:16.90
FOR VEGETARIANISM.
00:10:16.90\00:10:18.60
I'M A VEGETARIAN.
00:10:18.60\00:10:19.80
THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY
IT'S A SIN TO EAT CLEAN MEAT.
00:10:19.80\00:10:22.96
I NEED TO BE HONEST AND
TELL YOU WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:10:22.96\00:10:24.86
BUT THE BIBLE DOES
TEACH GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN WAS
00:10:24.86\00:10:27.83
A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:10:27.83\00:10:28.86
AND IN THE KINGDOM,
WE WILL BE VEGETARIANS.
00:10:28.86\00:10:30.93
AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO
JUST START GETTING USED TO THAT
00:10:30.93\00:10:33.16
NEW COUNTRY WE'RE GOING TO.
00:10:33.16\00:10:34.80
SOME PEOPLE SAY, "WELL DOUG, GOD
DESIGNED US TO EAT MEAT 'CAUSE
00:10:34.80\00:10:37.86
WE'VE GOT THESE CANINE TEETH.
00:10:37.86\00:10:39.00
THAT MEANS WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO EAT MEAT."
00:10:39.00\00:10:41.50
YOU DON'T HAVE CANINE TEETH
LIKE THAT AND HE'S A VEGETARIAN.
00:10:41.50\00:10:45.10
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE ANIMALS
THAT LIVE THE LONGEST AND THE
00:10:45.10\00:10:47.63
BIGGEST, ELEPHANTS,
GORILLAS, ARE VEGETARIANS.
00:10:47.63\00:10:51.36
AND SO, A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN FOOLED WITH A BUNCH
00:10:51.36\00:10:53.73
OF FALSE INFORMATION.
00:10:53.73\00:10:55.36
FRIENDS, THIS IS THE PRINCIPLE.
00:10:55.36\00:10:56.66
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT I'M MAKING IT CLEAR.
00:10:56.66\00:10:58.33
WHY DOES A
CHRISTIAN DO ANYTHING?
00:10:58.33\00:11:00.56
LOVE.
00:11:00.56\00:11:02.26
LOVE FOR GOD, LOVE FOR YOUR
NEIGHBOR, LOVE FOR YOURSELF.
00:11:02.26\00:11:04.73
WHY DO I WANT TO BE HEALTHY?
00:11:04.73\00:11:06.33
WELL, 'CAUSE I LOVE GOD AND
MY BODY IS A TOOL IN HIS HANDS
00:11:06.33\00:11:09.56
AND I WANT IT TO BE USEFUL.
00:11:09.56\00:11:10.93
IF I'M CONSTANTLY UNDER
THE WEATHER, DRAGGING AROUND
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.40
AND DRAINED AND SICK, I
CAN'T SERVE GOD EFFECTIVELY.
00:11:13.40\00:11:17.63
AND SO, YOU WANT TO DO
EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO OPTIMIZE
00:11:17.63\00:11:19.86
YOUR HEALTH BECAUSE YOU LOVE
GOD, YOU WANT TO SERVE HIM, YOU
00:11:19.86\00:11:22.00
WANT TO BE A SERVANT
TO YOUR FELLOW MEN AND YOU
00:11:22.00\00:11:24.40
WANT TO FEEL BETTER.
00:11:24.40\00:11:25.60
OUT OF LOVE FOR GOD, FOR
YOUR NEIGHBOR, FOR YOURSELF, YOU
00:11:25.60\00:11:28.13
SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY.
00:11:28.13\00:11:30.20
AMEN.
00:11:30.20\00:11:30.96
BE CAREFUL WHAT
YOU EAT AND DRINK.
00:11:30.96\00:11:32.53
WHAT TYPES OF FISH AND
SEAFOOD DOES THE BIBLE TELL US
00:11:32.53\00:11:35.43
ARE CLEAN?
00:11:35.43\00:11:36.90
YOU'VE GOT IT RIGHT
THERE IN YOUR LESSON.
00:11:36.90\00:11:38.46
"THESE ARE THE ONES YOU
SHALL EAT OF ALL THAT ARE IN THE
00:11:38.46\00:11:41.03
WATERS: WHATSOEVER HATH FINS
AND SCALES, THEM YOU SHALL EAT."
00:11:41.03\00:11:48.13
YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND
THAT THE NAVY, A FEW YEARS AGO,
00:11:48.13\00:11:51.33
DID A STUDY.
00:11:51.33\00:11:52.53
AND THEY HIRED SOME
SCIENTISTS TO DO SOME RESEARCH.
00:11:52.53\00:11:55.20
THEY HAD SAILORS THAT WERE
EITHER STRANDED IN LIFEBOATS
00:11:55.20\00:11:57.80
OR MAROONED ON ISLANDS.
00:11:57.80\00:11:59.10
THEY NEEDED SOME RULE OF THUMB
SO THEY COULD KNOW WHAT SEAFOOD
00:11:59.10\00:12:03.00
WOULD BE SAFE TO EAT WITHOUT
ALL THE BOOKS TO LOOK AT.
00:12:03.00\00:12:06.06
AND AFTER ALL THIS MONEY
WAS SPENT BY THE GOVERNMENT AND
00:12:06.06\00:12:08.83
ALL THIS RESEARCH, YOU
KNOW WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH?
00:12:08.83\00:12:11.13
THEY CAME BACK
WITH THEIR FINDINGS.
00:12:11.13\00:12:12.96
THEY SAID, "WE'VE DISCOVERED
THAT IF IT HAS FINS AND SCALES,
00:12:12.96\00:12:15.16
IT'S PROBABLY SAFE TO EAT."
00:12:15.16\00:12:18.36
ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
00:12:18.36\00:12:19.43
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE
LORD SAID 3,000 YEARS AGO.
00:12:19.43\00:12:22.20
GOD IS SMART, ISN'T HE?
00:12:22.20\00:12:23.93
WHAT BIRDS ARE UNCLEAN?
00:12:23.93\00:12:27.33
NOW, THE RULE FOR THE BIRDS
IS NOT AS CLEAR AS IT IS FOR
00:12:27.33\00:12:30.53
THE FISH AND THE MAMMALS.
00:12:30.53\00:12:32.13
FOR THE BIRDS, WE DO UNDERSTAND
THAT THE BIRDS OF CARRION
00:12:32.13\00:12:36.60
AND THE SCAVENGERS
AND THE CARNIVOROUS BIRDS
00:12:36.60\00:12:39.20
WERE ALL UNCLEAN.
00:12:39.20\00:12:40.36
IT SAYS, "FOR EVERY RAVEN AFTER
HIS KIND; AND THE OWL," AFTER
00:12:40.36\00:12:44.76
HIS KIND, "AND THE
NIGHT HAWK, AND THE CUCKOW,
00:12:44.76\00:12:49.23
AND THE HAWK AFTER HIS KIND."
00:12:49.23\00:12:50.90
THEY WERE UNCLEAN.
00:12:50.90\00:12:52.46
THEY CLEAN BIRDS WERE THE
FORAGING BIRDS, THE PHEASANT,
00:12:52.46\00:12:56.33
THE QUAIL.
00:12:56.33\00:12:57.43
TECHNICALLY,
CHICKEN IS A CLEAN BIRD.
00:12:57.43\00:12:59.60
SWANS WERE UNCLEAN.
00:12:59.60\00:13:01.96
TURKEYS WERE CLEAN.
00:13:01.96\00:13:03.13
THEY'RE FORAGING BIRDS.
00:13:03.13\00:13:03.83
QUAIL, DOVES WERE CLEAN.
00:13:03.83\00:13:05.36
BUT DUCK WAS IN THE SAME
CATEGORY AS SWAN AND AS GEESE.
00:13:05.36\00:13:11.16
THEY ARE TECHNICALLY UNCLEAN.
00:13:11.16\00:13:12.63
EVEN THOUGH YOU'LL FIND THERE
ARE SOME JEWS AND RABBIS THAT
00:13:12.63\00:13:15.03
SAY, "NO NO, THEY'RE CLEAN."
00:13:15.03\00:13:16.10
LOOK IT UP IN THE SCIENTIFIC
JOURNAL, YOU'LL FIND THAT
00:13:16.10\00:13:18.10
SWANS AND DUCKS ARE
IN THE SAME CATEGORY.
00:13:18.10\00:13:20.36
ARE THE LAWS ABOUT CLEAN
AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART OF
00:13:20.36\00:13:24.16
THE MOSAIC CEREMONIAL
LAW, WHICH ENDED AT THE CROSS?
00:13:24.16\00:13:27.50
SOME SAY, "DOUG, YOU'RE
PUTTING THESE JEWISH LAWS ON US.
00:13:27.50\00:13:30.40
THESE ARE LAWS FOR THE JEWS.
00:13:30.40\00:13:31.80
THESE ARE MOSES' OLD LAW."
00:13:31.80\00:13:33.70
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THAT.
00:13:33.70\00:13:34.90
LET'S SEE IF THAT'S
A LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT.
00:13:34.90\00:13:37.30
WHEN GOD HAD NOAH BRING THE
ANIMALS ON THE ARK, EVERYBODY
00:13:37.30\00:13:40.36
THINKS THEY CAME TWO BY TWO.
00:13:40.36\00:13:42.70
AND WE'VE GOT LITTLE SONGS WE
SING ABOUT THEY CAME TWO BY TWO.
00:13:42.70\00:13:45.33
THAT'S NOT ACCURATE.
00:13:45.33\00:13:47.20
YOU READ YOUR BIBLE YOU'LL FIND
GOD SAID IN GENESIS 7:1-2, "COME
00:13:47.20\00:13:51.20
THOU AND ALL OF THY HOUSE INTO
THE ARK, OF EVERY CLEAN BEAST
00:13:51.20\00:13:56.20
THOU SHALT TAKE UNTO THEE
BY SEVENS, AND OF THE UNCLEAN
00:13:56.20\00:14:00.76
BEASTS THOU SHALT TAKE,"
THE ONES THAT ARE NOT CLEAN,
00:14:00.76\00:14:05.30
"BY TWO."
00:14:05.30\00:14:06.70
DOES GOD SAY THAT THE EATING
OF UNCLEAN FOOD IS A SERIOUS
00:14:06.70\00:14:10.33
OFFENSE?
00:14:10.33\00:14:11.60
YES, AND HE SPECIFIES
SOME SPECIFIC FOODS HERE.
00:14:11.60\00:14:15.80
"FOR, BEHOLD, THE LORD WILL COME
WITH FIRE, AND WITH HIS CHARIOTS
00:14:15.80\00:14:19.30
LIKE A WHIRLWIND, TO
RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY.
00:14:19.30\00:14:22.80
THEY THAT SANCTIFY THEMSELVES,"
NOT BEING SANCTIFIED BY THE
00:14:22.80\00:14:26.23
LORD, "AND PURIFY THEMSELVES."
00:14:26.23\00:14:29.50
THEY'RE SAYING, "WE'RE
PURE, WE'RE SANCTIFIED."
00:14:29.50\00:14:31.36
"WHILE EATING SWINE'S
FLESH," WHAT'S A SWINE?
00:14:31.36\00:14:34.36
PIG.
00:14:34.36\00:14:35.40
"SWINE'S FLESH AND THE
ABOMINATION, AND THE MOUSE,"
00:14:35.40\00:14:38.73
HE'S PUTTING RATS AND MICE
AND PIGS IN THE SAME CATEGORY,
00:14:38.73\00:14:41.36
"SHALL BE CONSUMED
TOGETHER, SAYS THE LORD."
00:14:41.36\00:14:45.03
WELL, THAT'S A PRETTY STRAIGHT
PASSAGE THAT SAYS THOSE THAT ARE
00:14:45.03\00:14:47.10
DEFILING THEIR BODY TEMPLES
BY EATING THESE FORBIDDEN FOODS,
00:14:47.10\00:14:50.00
THEY WILL BE CONSUMED TOGETHER.
00:14:50.00\00:14:51.60
THEY LIKE TO
QUOTE THIS SCRIPTURE.
00:14:51.60\00:14:54.40
1 TIMOTHY 4:4, "FOR EVERY
CREATURE OF GOD IS GOOD, NOTHING
00:14:54.40\00:14:58.50
IS TO BE REFUSED, IF IT'S
RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING."
00:14:58.50\00:15:01.86
JUST PRAY OVER IT, EVERY
CREATURE'S BEEN BLESSED NOW
00:15:01.86\00:15:04.83
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:15:04.83\00:15:05.83
THAT'S NOT WHAT PAUL'S SAYING.
00:15:05.83\00:15:07.76
PEOPLE HAVE ABUSED
THAT PASSAGE TERRIBLY.
00:15:07.76\00:15:10.66
THEN, THEY GO TO THE STORY ABOUT
PETER IN CHAPTER 10 OF ACTS,
00:15:10.66\00:15:13.53
THE SHEET THAT
COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
00:15:13.53\00:15:15.50
AND HE'S GOT ALL THESE
DIFFERENT ANIMALS IN IT.
00:15:15.50\00:15:17.60
AND GOD SAYS,
"ARISE, KILL AND EAT."
00:15:17.60\00:15:20.10
AND THERE'S UNCLEAN ANIMALS.
00:15:20.10\00:15:21.06
AND YOU KNOW WHAT PETER SAYS?
00:15:21.06\00:15:22.53
"NOT SO, LORD, I HAVE
NEVER EATEN ANYTHING COMMON
00:15:22.53\00:15:25.96
OR UNCLEAN."
00:15:25.96\00:15:27.23
NOW, WAIT A SECOND.
00:15:27.23\00:15:28.26
THIS TAKES PLACE ABOUT 4
YEARS AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION.
00:15:28.26\00:15:31.30
PETER NEVER HEARD JESUS
SAY IT WAS OKAY TO EAT THINGS
00:15:31.30\00:15:33.83
THAT WERE UNCLEAN.
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.03
PETER SAYS, "I STILL HAVE NOT
EVER EATEN ANYTHING UNCLEAN."
00:15:35.03\00:15:37.90
AND HE DID NOT DO IT EVEN THOUGH
THE SHEET CAME DOWN THREE TIMES.
00:15:37.90\00:15:41.50
GOD SAID, "ARISE AND EAT."
00:15:41.50\00:15:43.06
PETER DID NOT TAKE
ANYTHING OUT OF THE SHEET.
00:15:43.06\00:15:45.40
HE'S WONDERING, "WHAT
DOES THIS VISION MEAN?
00:15:45.40\00:15:47.40
GOD DOESN'T WANT ME TO EAT
UNCLEAN FOOD 'CAUSE I KNOW HOW
00:15:47.40\00:15:49.33
CLEARLY HE SPEAKS ABOUT
THAT OTHER PLACES IN HIS WORD.
00:15:49.33\00:15:52.80
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
00:15:52.80\00:15:53.76
IT'S A SYMBOL."
00:15:53.76\00:15:54.73
PETER EXPLAINS
THE VISION HIMSELF.
00:15:54.73\00:15:57.03
HE TELLS US IN ACTS 10:28, GOD
HAS SHOWN ME THAT I SHOULD NOT
00:15:57.03\00:16:02.70
CALL ANY PIG COMMON OR UNCLEAN.
00:16:02.70\00:16:05.26
IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
00:16:05.26\00:16:07.10
NO, IT SAYS, "NOT CALL ANY MAN."
00:16:07.10\00:16:08.80
THEY WERE TELLING
THEM TO GO TO THE GENTILES.
00:16:08.80\00:16:12.20
DON'T CALL THE GENTILES UNCLEAN.
00:16:12.20\00:16:13.96
PEOPLE ABUSE THIS PASSAGE AND
TRY AND USE IT TO JUSTIFY THAT
00:16:13.96\00:16:17.16
YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING
THAT CRAWLS ACROSS YOUR PLATE.
00:16:17.16\00:16:19.86
THAT'S AN INSULT TO GOD.
00:16:19.86\00:16:21.90
THAT'S NOT WHAT
THAT VISION MEANS.
00:16:21.90\00:16:24.03
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
00:16:24.03\00:16:25.66
PEOPLE THINK IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:16:25.66\00:16:27.20
IT TELLS US IN GENESIS 2:17,
"THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT."
00:16:27.20\00:16:34.86
WE ARE IN TROUBLE TODAY BECAUSE
PEOPLE DID NOT TAKE GOD AT
00:16:34.86\00:16:37.93
HIS WORD, AND WE BEGAN TO EAT
AND DRINK THINGS THAT THE LORD
00:16:37.93\00:16:41.56
CLEARLY SAID WERE FORBIDDEN.
00:16:41.56\00:16:44.36
HOW CAN I MAKE DIET AND
HEALTH CHANGES THAT WILL PLEASE
00:16:44.36\00:16:49.03
THE LORD?
00:16:49.03\00:16:50.30
WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
00:16:50.30\00:16:51.80
"THEY SHALL TAKE AWAY THE
DETESTABLE THINGS THEREOF.
00:16:51.80\00:16:56.13
AND I WILL GIVE THEM ONE HEART,
AND I WILL PUT A NEW SPIRIT
00:16:56.13\00:16:59.80
WITHIN YOU; THAT THEY MAY
WALK IN MY STATUES, AND KEEP MY
00:16:59.80\00:17:03.23
ORDINANCES, AND DO THEM."
00:17:03.23\00:17:05.63
IF YOU FOLLOW THE LORD, HE
PROMISES TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:17:05.63\00:17:08.93
WHAT IS A GOOD, BASIC
HEALTH RULE FOR CHRISTIANS?
00:17:08.93\00:17:13.23
1 CORINTHIANS 9:25, "EVERY MAN
THAT STRIVETH FOR THE MASTERY
00:17:13.23\00:17:17.36
IS TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS."
00:17:17.36\00:17:19.86
IT'S POSSIBLE FOR US TO BE
INTEMPERATE IN EVEN THOSE THINGS
00:17:19.86\00:17:22.96
THAT ARE GOOD.
00:17:22.96\00:17:24.10
PEOPLE EAT TOO MUCH OF A GOOD
THING OR EAT THINGS THAT ARE
00:17:24.10\00:17:26.13
SO SPICY AND SO HOT THAT IT
SCORCHES THEIR THROAT AS THEY
00:17:26.13\00:17:29.26
SWALLOW IT.
00:17:29.26\00:17:30.26
AND SOME THINGS THAT ARE NOT
STRICTLY FORBIDDEN YOU'VE GOT
00:17:30.26\00:17:33.63
TO BE CAREFUL OF.
00:17:33.63\00:17:35.03
YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE
ARE ADDICTED TO SUGAR.
00:17:35.03\00:17:37.50
SHOULD CHRISTIANS
USE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES?
00:17:37.50\00:17:40.83
NO.
00:17:40.83\00:17:42.50
SIMPLE ANSWER, BUT
LET'S GO TO THE SCRIPTURE.
00:17:42.50\00:17:45.03
PROVERBS 20:1, "WINE IS A
MOCKER, STRONG DRINK IS RAGING:
00:17:45.03\00:17:49.86
AND WHOEVER IS
DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE."
00:17:49.86\00:17:54.50
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, I GET VERY
AGITATED OVER THIS ISSUE BECAUSE
00:17:54.50\00:17:59.60
WE'RE SO DRUG
CONSCIOUS IN OUR SOCIETY.
00:17:59.60\00:18:02.80
WE THINK ABOUT THE DRUG ABUSE
AND THE KIDS WHO ARE GETTING
00:18:02.80\00:18:04.60
MESSED UP ON
CRACK COCAINE AND LSD.
00:18:04.60\00:18:06.96
YOU'VE HEARD MY TESTIMONY.
00:18:06.96\00:18:08.23
AND I'VE USED
VIRTUALLY EVERY DRUG.
00:18:08.23\00:18:10.23
AND THERE'S SOME NEW DRUGS--THEY
DIDN'T HAVE CRACK WHEN I WAS
00:18:10.23\00:18:11.86
A KID, BUT I'VE USED
UPS AND DOWNS AND COCAINE.
00:18:11.86\00:18:14.00
AND I USED ALMOST
EVERYTHING BUT HEROIN.
00:18:14.00\00:18:16.33
I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW.
00:18:16.33\00:18:17.26
I'VE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.
00:18:17.26\00:18:19.80
OF ALL THE DRUGS THAT I USED,
ALCOHOL CAUSED ME MORE PROBLEMS
00:18:19.80\00:18:24.83
THAN ANY OF THEM.
00:18:24.83\00:18:26.36
MORE OF MY FRIENDS ARE
DEAD NOW FROM ALCOHOL THAN
00:18:26.36\00:18:29.33
ALL OF THE OTHER DRUGS.
00:18:29.33\00:18:31.33
I'M NOT CONDONING THE OTHERS,
BUT THE REASON I SAY THIS IS
00:18:31.33\00:18:33.56
IT'S A LEGAL DRUG AND IT IS
THE MOST ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE
00:18:33.56\00:18:37.63
IN NORTH AMERICA.
00:18:37.63\00:18:38.80
THE BIBLE SAYS NOAH
DRANK AND RAN AROUND NAKED.
00:18:38.80\00:18:42.00
LOT DRANK AND
SLEPT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS.
00:18:42.00\00:18:44.26
IT IMPAIRS YOUR JUDGMENT.
00:18:44.26\00:18:46.20
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK
AT THE STATISTICS AND KNOW THAT
00:18:46.20\00:18:48.53
OVER HALF THE PEOPLE WHO
DIE EVERY DAY ON THE HIGHWAY ARE
00:18:48.53\00:18:51.40
EITHER DRINKING OR STRUCK
BY SOMEONE WHO WAS DRINKING.
00:18:51.40\00:18:54.26
OVER HALF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN
THE HOSPITAL ARE THERE BECAUSE
00:18:54.26\00:18:56.66
OF INJURIES OR ILLNESS
CONNECTED WITH ALCOHOL.
00:18:56.66\00:18:59.33
OVER HALF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
IN PRISON ARE THERE AS A RESULT
00:18:59.33\00:19:01.86
OF CRIMES COMMITTED WHILE
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL.
00:19:01.86\00:19:04.76
MORE THAN HALF OF ALL OF
THE ABUSE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
00:19:04.76\00:19:07.46
ALCOHOL IS INVOLVED.
00:19:07.46\00:19:09.50
MORE THAN HALF THE PEOPLE IN
MENTAL INSTITUTIONS ARE THERE
00:19:09.50\00:19:11.83
BECAUSE OF INJURIES OR ILLNESS
OR BIRTH DEFECTS CONNECTED
00:19:11.83\00:19:14.76
WITH ALCOHOL.
00:19:14.76\00:19:16.06
AND SO, FRIENDS, HOW MUCH
SHOULD A CHRISTIAN SUPPORT THAT?
00:19:16.06\00:19:19.26
ZERO.
00:19:19.26\00:19:21.16
PEOPLE GO DIGGING FOR SCRIPTURES
AND THEY TRY AND TWIST THE BIBLE
00:19:21.16\00:19:23.76
TO SAY THAT JESUS TURNED THE
WATER INTO WINE AND THAT MEANS
00:19:23.76\00:19:26.10
IT'S OKAY TO DRINK.
00:19:26.10\00:19:27.70
FRIENDS, IF THE BIBLE WAS SILENT
ON THE SUBJECT, THE EVIDENCE
00:19:27.70\00:19:31.23
OUGHT TO BE CLEAR ENOUGH
TO A CHRISTIAN THAT YOU CANNOT
00:19:31.23\00:19:34.30
ENDORSE OR SUPPORT
THE DRINKING OF ALCOHOL.
00:19:34.30\00:19:37.13
YOU HEARD ME SAY ONE OUT OF
SEVEN PEOPLE THAT DRINKS BECOMES
00:19:37.13\00:19:39.16
AN ALCOHOLIC.
00:19:39.16\00:19:40.60
WOULD YOU KEEP A DOG THAT
BIT ONE OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE?
00:19:40.60\00:19:44.20
I DON'T THINK SO FRIENDS.
00:19:44.20\00:19:45.93
NOW, NOT ONLY SHOULD WE
BE CAREFUL WHEN IT COMES TO
00:19:45.93\00:19:48.66
DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES,
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS
00:19:48.66\00:19:51.56
PEOPLE DRINK THAT ARE NOT
VERY GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.
00:19:51.56\00:19:54.33
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE IN AMERICA
ARE BECOMING ADDICTED TO A WHOLE
00:19:54.33\00:19:57.13
SPECTRUM OF PRODUCTS
THAT ARE FILLED WITH CAFFEINE.
00:19:57.13\00:20:00.36
AND KEEP IN MIND, IT'S
VERY SIMPLE, AND SODA POP.
00:20:00.36\00:20:03.83
ANYTHING YOU BECOME
ADDICTED TO IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
00:20:03.83\00:20:08.23
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PERSON
AND YOU GO, "WHAT'S THE MATTER?"
00:20:08.23\00:20:12.30
"I HAVEN'T HAD ANY
BRUSSELS SPROUTS ALL DAY."
00:20:12.30\00:20:16.16
DO PEOPLE GO THROUGH WITHDRAWAL
BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD
00:20:16.16\00:20:18.86
A BANANA IN 24 HOURS?
00:20:18.86\00:20:21.40
NO, THE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR
YOU, YOU DON'T GET ADDICTED TO.
00:20:21.40\00:20:25.00
THEN OF COURSE, WE'VE
GOT THE PROBLEM WITH SMOKING
00:20:25.00\00:20:28.20
THAT'S EPIDEMIC.
00:20:28.20\00:20:29.80
THE BIBLE SAYS YOU
SHOULD NOT DEFILE YOUR TEMPLE.
00:20:29.80\00:20:33.10
I REMEMBER I USED TO SMOKE.
00:20:33.10\00:20:35.10
PROBABLY ONE OF THE
HARDEST THINGS FOR ME TO CHANGE
00:20:35.10\00:20:36.70
WAS GIVING UP CIGARETTES.
00:20:36.70\00:20:38.80
AND I REMEMBER FINDING
THAT SCRIPTURE WHERE JESUS SAID,
00:20:38.80\00:20:41.93
"IT'S NOT WHAT GOES IN A
MAN'S MOUTH THAT DEFILES HIM
00:20:41.93\00:20:43.93
BUT IT'S WHAT COMES OUT."
00:20:43.93\00:20:45.60
AND I REMEMBER A PASTOR SAID,
"DOUG, YOU NEED TO QUIT SMOKING
00:20:45.60\00:20:47.73
BEFORE I BAPTIZE YOU."
00:20:47.73\00:20:48.73
I SAID,
"BROTHER, I'M A CHRISTIAN.
00:20:48.73\00:20:50.30
THE LORD KNOWS I LOVE HIM.
00:20:50.30\00:20:51.20
AND THE BIBLE SAYS RIGHT HERE,
'NOT WHAT GOES IN MY MOUTH THAT
00:20:51.20\00:20:53.20
DEFILES BUT IT'S WHAT
COMES OUT OF MY MOUTH.'"
00:20:53.20\00:20:56.56
AND THEN HE NOTIFIED
ME MY BREATH WAS AWFUL
00:20:56.56\00:20:58.80
SINCE I WAS SMOKING.
00:20:58.80\00:21:01.16
SO, WHAT GOES IN YOUR MOUTH
DOES AFFECT WHAT COMES OUT OF
00:21:01.16\00:21:03.43
YOUR MOUTH.
00:21:03.43\00:21:04.16
AND INCIDENTALLY, THAT SCRIPTURE
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SMOKING
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.20
OR EATING FOOD
OR DRINKING ALCOHOL.
00:21:06.20\00:21:08.26
THAT SCRIPTURE WAS IN
THE CONTEXT OF THE DISCIPLES
00:21:08.26\00:21:10.40
EATING WITHOUT CEREMONIALLY
WASHING THEIR HANDS.
00:21:10.40\00:21:13.56
OF COURSE, WHAT GOES IN
YOUR MOUTH AFFECTS WHAT COMES
00:21:13.56\00:21:15.60
OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.
00:21:15.60\00:21:16.33
WATCH WHAT COMES OUT OF A
PERSON'S MOUTH AFTER THEY HAVE
00:21:16.33\00:21:18.40
A FIFTH OF WHISKEY.
00:21:18.40\00:21:20.73
YEAH, ALL KINDS OF
SLURRY, RIDICULOUS THINGS.
00:21:20.73\00:21:24.40
TOBACCO IS THE SECOND
MOST COSTLY DRUG ADDICTION
00:21:24.40\00:21:26.76
IN NORTH AMERICA.
00:21:26.76\00:21:28.26
THE FIRST IS ALCOHOL.
00:21:28.26\00:21:30.26
AND I KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE
A FASHION STATEMENT, AND THAT'S
00:21:30.26\00:21:33.36
ONE REASON SOME PEOPLE SMOKE.
00:21:33.36\00:21:34.73
THEY WANT TO LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
EN VOGUE AND BE BEAUTIFUL
00:21:34.73\00:21:37.53
AND LOOK INTELLIGENT.
00:21:37.53\00:21:39.03
AND SO, IT'S REAL
HARD TO GIVE IT UP.
00:21:39.03\00:21:42.06
YOU WILL RAISE YOUR PERCEIVED
IQ IF YOU QUIT USING TOBACCO.
00:21:42.06\00:21:46.60
WHENEVER YOU'RE IN DOUBT
ABOUT WHAT TO DO, YOU KNOW WHAT
00:21:46.60\00:21:48.46
A SIMPLE TEST IS?
00:21:48.46\00:21:49.93
SAY WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
00:21:49.93\00:21:51.63
HOW MANY OF YOU CAN PICTURE
JESUS WALKING AROUND PREACHING
00:21:51.63\00:21:53.96
WITH A BIG OL' WAD OF
CHEWING TOBACCO IN HIS MOUTH?
00:21:53.96\00:21:56.73
BROWN JUICE
DROOLING DOWN THE SIDE.
00:21:56.73\00:21:59.53
IN BETWEEN HIS PARABLES,
SPITTING ON THE GROUND.
00:21:59.53\00:22:03.06
YOU PICTURE JESUS DOING THAT?
00:22:03.06\00:22:04.23
OR JESUS BLOWING
SMOKE RINGS IN YOUR FACE?
00:22:04.23\00:22:08.56
NO, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS.
00:22:08.56\00:22:11.10
AND ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF A CHRISTIAN IS JESUS BREAKS
00:22:11.10\00:22:13.43
THE SHACKLES
THAT BIND US, RIGHT?
00:22:13.43\00:22:16.16
SMOKING IS AN ADDICTION.
00:22:16.16\00:22:17.50
IT'S A SHACKLE.
00:22:17.50\00:22:18.76
AND I THINK IT'S PATHETIC
THAT SOME OF THESE SMOKING
00:22:18.76\00:22:22.10
CORPORATIONS SAYS,
"NO, IT'S NOT ADDICTING.
00:22:22.10\00:22:24.10
WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE
THAT IT'S ADDICTING."
00:22:24.10\00:22:25.60
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU
I WAS ADDICTED, FRIENDS,
00:22:25.60\00:22:27.90
AND IT WAS A STRUGGLE.
00:22:27.90\00:22:29.16
NOW, I'M A GRANDFATHER.
00:22:29.16\00:22:32.16
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE
ME DO A BACK HANDSPRING?
00:22:32.16\00:22:35.86
I HAVE NOT DONE ONE FOR 2 YEARS.
00:22:35.86\00:22:38.00
WOULD YOU PRAY FOR ME?
00:22:38.00\00:22:41.00
I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION.
00:22:41.00\00:22:43.53
THE REASON I'M DOING
THIS, I DID IT YEARS AGO--THAT'S
00:22:43.53\00:22:48.13
ALL I'M TAKING OFF.
00:22:48.13\00:22:52.53
NOW, I'VE BEEN A VEGETARIAN
FOR 15 YEARS NOW, 20 YEARS,
00:22:52.53\00:22:57.53
20 YEARS NOW, I'VE BEEN A
VEGETARIAN AND MY CHILDREN WERE
00:22:57.53\00:23:03.73
RAISED VEGETARIANS THOUGH
THEY DID GET INTO THE DOG FOOD
00:23:03.73\00:23:06.20
ONCE OR TWICE.
00:23:06.20\00:23:09.83
WILL YOU ATTEMPT, ANYONE
HERE ATTEMPT TO BE A VEGETARIAN
00:23:09.83\00:23:11.73
IF I SUCCEED IN
DOING A BACK HANDSPRING?
00:23:11.73\00:23:14.10
WHAT IS THE AMBULANCE RESPONSE
TIME HERE IN NEW YORK CITY?
00:23:14.10\00:23:18.63
I'D LIKE TO KNOW.
00:23:18.63\00:23:20.16
OH, WE'VE GOT-- WE
MAY NEED THEM, OKAY.
00:23:20.16\00:23:25.26
[APPLAUDING]
00:23:38.30\00:23:44.63
>> I DIDN'T HEAR
ANYONE SAY ENCORE, DID I?
00:23:52.96\00:24:03.03
NOW, THE REASON I DO
THAT--YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THAT.
00:24:03.03\00:24:06.16
YOU'LL FORGET THE WHOLE SERMON,
BUT YOU'LL SAY, "REMEMBER THAT
00:24:06.16\00:24:08.13
PREACHER THAT HE DID A
BACK FLIP ON THE STAGE?"
00:24:08.13\00:24:12.13
PEOPLE SAY
VEGETARIANS CAN'T BE HEALTHY.
00:24:12.13\00:24:14.80
THAT IS A MYTH.
00:24:14.80\00:24:16.13
THEY, I BELIEVE, ARE HEALTHIER.
00:24:16.13\00:24:17.80
THEY ARE STRONGER.
00:24:17.80\00:24:20.16
YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR
BODIES, AND GOD WILL MAKE A BIG
00:24:20.16\00:24:22.56
DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:24:22.56\00:24:23.70
NOW, SOME OF YOU ARE
WONDERING, "HOW CAN I DO THIS?
00:24:23.70\00:24:25.73
HOW CAN I FOLLOW THE LORD?
00:24:25.73\00:24:26.80
HOW CAN I MAKE ALL THESE CHANGES
THAT YOU EXPLAINED TONIGHT,
00:24:26.80\00:24:29.40
DOUG?"
00:24:29.40\00:24:30.36
DAY BY DAY, LITTLE BY
LITTLE, ONE STEP AT A TIME,
00:24:30.36\00:24:34.10
WE FOLLOW JESUS.
00:24:34.10\00:24:35.46
IT'S PROGRESSIVE.
00:24:35.46\00:24:36.73
SOME OF YOU ARE GOING TO GO
HOME AND TRY AND DO ALL THIS
00:24:36.73\00:24:38.36
AT ONE TIME.
00:24:38.36\00:24:39.23
YOU ASK GOD FOR GRACE TO KNOW
WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS, AMEN?
00:24:39.23\00:24:42.63
AND YOU LIVE WITH
HIM ONE MOMENT AT A TIME.
00:24:42.63\00:24:45.90
>> STAY TUNED,
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER
00:24:45.90\00:24:48.00
THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES.
00:24:48.00\00:24:50.53
>> CHRISTIANS DO NOT DIE.
00:24:52.40\00:24:57.96
ASK ANYBODY TO SHOW ME A
SCRIPTURE IN THE BIBLE THAT
00:24:57.96\00:25:00.86
SAYS WE HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:25:00.86\00:25:04.56
SO, THE DEVIL SAID,
"YOU'LL NOT REALLY DIE."
00:25:04.56\00:25:06.63
ISN'T IT SAD NOW THAT PASTORS
ARE TELLING CONGREGATIONS
00:25:06.63\00:25:11.50
WHAT THE DEVIL FIRST TOLD EVE.
00:25:11.50\00:25:15.93
