THIS PROGRAM FEATURES 01:31 HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION BROADCASTS. 01:35 WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THIS EDITION 01:38 OF AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS. 01:45 >>ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING ON WITH OUR 01:47 'TIME TICKING AWAY' PRESENTATION. 01:49 TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT GOD'S HEALTH PLAN. 01:52 HEALTH PLAN'S IN THE NEWS A LOT IN OUR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW AND - 01:55 I'LL TELL YOU THAT THE HEALTH PLAN IN NORTH AMERICA COULD BE 02:03 ALLEVIATED IN ONE YEAR IF PEOPLE COULD HEAR WHAT I'M SHARING 02:09 WITH YOU. I'M NOT EXAGGERATING. 02:11 YOU'LL SEE WHY I'M SAYING THIS IN JUST A MOMENT. 02:14 THERE IS A PROPHECY CONNECTION, ACTUALLY, WITH HEALTH. 02:18 DANIEL IS A BOOK OF PROPHECY. FIRST CHAPTER IN THE BOOK OF 02:21 DANIEL DEALS WITH SOMETHING REGARDING HEALTH AND DIET AND 02:26 FEELING BETTER AND THINKING BETTER. 02:29 NUMBER 1 - ARE THE HEALTH PRINCIPLES REALLY PART OF BIBLE 02:33 RELIGION - OF TRUE BIBLE RELIGION? 02:35 LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS IN 3 JOHN - THE THIRD LETTER OF JOHN - 02:38 CHAPTER 2 - "BELOVED" - I'M SORRY, VERSE 2 - 02:41 THERE'S ONLY ONE CHAPTER. "BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL 02:44 THINGS THAT YOU MAY PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH EVEN AS 02:49 YOUR SOUL PROSPERS." GOD WANTS US TO PROSPER IN OUR 02:52 BODIES AND IN OUR SOULS. JESUS SAID THIS - HE WENT ABOUT 02:57 TEACHING - HE WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE TEACHING IN THEIR 03:00 SYNAGOGUES PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM. 03:03 NOW, JESUS DID A LOT OF TEACHING AND PREACHING BUT WHAT ELSE DID 03:05 HE DO IN CONNECTION WITH THAT TEACHING AND PREACHING? 03:08 'AND HEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF 03:12 DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE.' SO, CHRIST DID ALMOST AS MUCH 03:17 HEALING AS HE DID PREACHING. DOES THE LORD CARE ABOUT OUR 03:21 PHYSICAL HEALTH? ISN'T IT KIND OF HARD TO BE 03:24 SPIRITUAL WHEN YOU FEEL SICK? IT'S A LOT EASIER TO BE A 03:28 WITNESS FOR THE LORD WHEN YOU FEEL GOOD. 03:32 I MEAN, IF ALL CHRISTIANS WERE CONSTANTLY SICK AND TIRED, 03:35 WHO WANTS TO BE A SICK AND TIRED CHRISTIAN? 03:38 CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO BE ATTRACTIVE NOT JUST BECAUSE OF 03:41 OUR THEOLOGY, BUT I THINK THAT GOD'S GIVEN US SOME INFORMATION 03:46 WHERE OUR VESSELS CAN BE HEALTHIER. 03:48 NOW, I BELIEVE IN MIRACULOUS HEALING. 03:50 I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CAN JUST TOUCH A PERSON AND HEAL THEM. 03:52 BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT GOD SOMETIMES DOES THINGS 03:55 IN DEGREES. I BELIEVE GOD USES DOCTORS AND 03:58 MODERN MEDICINE. JESUS SOMETIMES HEALED PEOPLE BY 04:02 - HE WOULD PUT MUD ON THEIR EYES - AND ONE TIME HE HEALED A MAN 04:05 WHO WAS BLIND KIND OF IN DEGREES. 04:07 FIRST, HE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT BUT THINGS WERE FUZZY - 04:10 MEN WERE LIKE TREES - THEN HE WENT AFTER HIM ONE MORE 04:14 TIME AND HE COULD SEE CLEARLY. SO SOMETIMES GOD USES TIME. 04:18 WHEN HEZEKIAH WAS SICK, ISAIAH WAS SENT WITH A POULTICE OF FIGS 04:23 - GOD SAID, 'LAY THIS POULTICE ON THE BOIL' AND SO GOD GAVE HIM 04:27 A MEDICINAL TREATMENT AND HE WAS MIRACULOUSLY HEALED. 04:30 SO, YOU KNOW, GOD USES THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT ALSO THE 04:33 BEST MOST MIRACULOUS HEALING IS YOUR OWN BODY. 04:38 IF WE COOPERATE WITH THE BASIC LAWS OF HEALTH IN GOD'S WORD, WE 04:43 WOULD REALLY HELP OURSELVES HEAL AND LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER. 04:47 BUT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE SIMPLE PRINCIPLES ARE 04:51 AND SO WE'RE GOING TO SHARE SOME OF THAT. 04:52 NUMBER 2 - WHY DID GOD GIVE US HEALTH RULES IN THE BIBLE? 04:58 WHY DOES HE GIVE HEALTH RULES TO HIS PEOPLE? 05:01 DEUTERONOMY 6, VERSE 24, "AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED US 05:04 TO DO ALL THESE STATUTES FOR OUR GOOD ALWAYS." 05:09 IT'S FOR OUR BENEFIT THAT HE MIGHT PRESERVE US ALIVE. 05:12 DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY HEALTH RULES FOR YOUR KIDS IF YOU'VE 05:14 GOT CHILDREN? YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED 05:16 TO STICK THINGS IN THE ELECTRIC SOCKET - THAT'S A HEALTH RULE - 05:19 YOU CAN GET HURT DOING THAT. SO GOD LOVES HIS CHILDREN TOO 05:24 AND HE'S GOT SOME HEALTH BASICS FOR US. 05:27 IT SAYS, "AND YOU SHALL SERVE THE LORD YOUR GOD" - THIS IS 05:30 EXODUS 23:25 - "AND HE'LL BLESS YOUR BREAD AND YOUR WATER AND 05:34 I'LL TAKE SICKNESS AWAY FROM THE MIDST OF THEE." 05:38 THE LORD PROMISED TO BLESS THEM IF THEY WOULD SERVE HIM AND HE 05:40 WOULD TAKE AWAY SICKNESS IF THEY WOULD FOLLOW HIS WORD. 05:44 WELL, AFTER HE LED THEM OUT OF EGYPT AND THEY HAD BEEN DOING 05:47 KIND OF WHAT THE EGYPTIANS DID AND EATING WHAT THE EGYPTIANS 05:49 ATE, GOD THEN PUT THEM IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT FOR 40 05:54 YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS WHERE GOD PROVIDED THEIR BREAD, HE 05:58 PROVIDED THEIR FOOD, HE PROVIDED THEIR WATER AND AFTER THOSE 40 06:01 YEARS OF GOING THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, EATING GOD'S FOOD 06:04 AND DRINKING GOD'S WATER, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN HE BROUGHT 06:08 THEM FORTH - THEY CAME OUT WITH SILVER AND GOLD - NOTICE THIS - 06:11 AFTER THAT 40 YEARS OF WANDERING, IT SAYS IN PSALMS 06:14 105:37, "THERE WAS NOT ONE FEEBLE PERSON AMONG THEIR 06:18 TRIBES." WELL THAT'D REALLY BE SOMETHING 06:20 IF YOU HAD A GROUP OF 1.5 TO 2 MILLION PEOPLE - 06:25 THEY HAD 900,000 SOLDIERS - IMAGINE WOMEN AND CHILDREN - 06:29 AT LEAST 1.5 TO 2 MILLION PEOPLE - NOT ONE SICK PERSON? 06:34 NO INFIRMARY? NURSES AND DOCTORS 06:36 ALL OUT OF WORK? WOULDN'T THAT BE WONDERFUL? 06:39 WOULD THAT SOLVE THE HEALTH PROBLEMS? 06:41 NOT ONE SICK PERSON - 2.5 MILLION. 06:43 NUMBER 3 - DO GOD'S HEALTH RULES HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH 06:47 EATING AND DRINKING? LET'S READ SOME SCRIPTURE. 06:50 1 CORINTHIANS 10:31, "WHETHER, THEREFORE, YOU EAT OR DRINK, OR 06:55 WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD." 06:58 DOES THAT STAND TO REASON THAT IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO EAT AND 07:04 DRINK TO THE GLORY OF GOD, IS IT POSSIBLE TO NOT EAT AND DRINK 07:07 TO THE GLORY OF GOD? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? 07:11 AND SO SOME PEOPLE, WHAT THEY'RE EATING AND WHAT THEY'RE DRINKING 07:13 IS NOT TO THE GLORY OF GOD. THEY'RE HURTING THEMSELVES 07:16 WITH THEIR DIET. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ISAIAH 55, 07:19 "EAT THAT WHICH IS GOOD." WHY WOULD GOD SAY THAT? 07:22 BECAUSE THEY'RE EATING THAT WHICH IS WHAT? 07:24 THEY'RE EATING THAT WHICH IS BAD. 07:26 AND SO HE'S HAVING TO SAY, 'EAT THAT WHICH IS GOOD.' 07:29 THAT NOT ONLY APPLIES TO PHYSICAL FOOD, IT APPLIES TO 07:32 SPIRITUAL FOOD. SOME PEOPLE EAT THE WRONG KIND 07:34 OF SPIRITUAL FOOD AND THEY GET THE WRONG KIND OF INFORMATION. 07:39 NUMBER 4 - WHAT DID GOD GIVE PEOPLE TO EAT? 07:43 IN THE BEGINNING WHAT WAS HIS ORIGINAL PLAN FOR MAN WHEN HE 07:47 CREATED THEM AND HE PROVIDED A PERFECT DIET? 07:50 YOU READ IN GENESIS CHAPTER 1, VERSE 29, "AND GOD SAID, 07:53 'BEHOLD, I'VE GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB-BEARING SEED AND EVERY TREE 07:58 IN WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING SEED TO YOU; IT SHALL 08:02 BE FOR MEAT" - THE WORD 'MEAT' THERE IS LIKE THE MEAT OF A NUT 08:05 - IT MEANS 'FOOD' - THAT'S THE KING JAMES VERSION. 08:07 A LOT OF MODERN VERSIONS THERE SAYS 'IT WILL BE FOR YOU FOOD.' 08:10 SO THE ORIGINAL DIET FOR MAN WAS FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS - 08:16 A VEGETARIAN DIET WAS THE ORIGINAL DIET. 08:19 EVEN AFTER MAN SINNED AND GOD SAID HE COULD NO LONGER EAT FROM 08:23 THE TREE OF LIFE - ADAM AND EVE WERE EVICTED FROM THE GARDEN OF 08:25 EDEN - HE THEN ADDED SOMETHING ELSE TO THEIR DIET. 08:29 IT SAYS, 'NOW YOU SHALL EAT THE HERB OF THE FIELD." 08:32 MAYBE THERE WAS SOME ENZYME OR SOMETHING MISSING FROM THAT TREE 08:34 OF LIFE AND THEY NEEDED THIS ADDITIONAL PART OF THE DIET - 08:37 THAT'S VEGETABLES. NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND THE 08:40 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FRUIT AND A VEGETABLE? MOST OF MY LIFE 08:44 I DIDN'T KNOW - I THOUGHT THAT, LIKE, ZUCCHINI WERE VEGETABLES. 08:48 WELL, ZUCCHINI IS ACTUALLY THE PRODUCT OF A FLOWER - 08:50 THE PRODUCT OF A FLOWER - TOMATOES - 08:52 THEY'RE NOT VEGETABLES, TOMATOES ARE FRUITS. 08:54 EGGPLANT - VERY RARELY DOES YOUR KID COME IN FOR A SNACK AND SAY, 08:59 'CAN I HAVE A PIECE OF FRUIT?' AND YOU TOSS THEM AN EGGPLANT. 09:02 BUT EGGPLANT TECHNICALLY ARE FRUITS. 09:05 VEGETABLES ARE ANY PART OF THE PLANT OTHER THAN THE FRUIT OF 09:09 THE FLOWER - MEANING LEAVES, STALK, THE ROOTS, BULBS, THEY'RE 09:15 THE VEGETABLES - AGAIN, THAT'S DISTINCT FROM THE NUT - A NUT IS 09:20 THE SEED OF A PLANT. SO THE ORIGINAL DIET FOR MAN WAS 09:24 FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS, VEGETABLES - AND ON THIS DIET 09:28 MAN DID PRETTY GOOD. HE LIVED A LONG TIME. 09:31 THE PRINCIPLES ARE VERY SIMPLE - THEY'RE BIBLICAL. 09:34 FRESH AIR - THEY GOT A LOT OF THAT IN HUNZA - UP THERE IN THE 09:38 FOOTHILLS OF THE HIMALAYAS - CLEAN WATER, EXERCISE - THEY'RE 09:45 OUT THERE WORKING IN THE FIELDS, TRUST IN DIVINE POWER - HAVING 09:50 FAITH, SUNSHINE - NOW, YOU GET TOO MUCH SUNSHINE THEY TELL YOU 09:56 SUNBLOCK AND, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THE LIMITATIONS, BUT YOU GET 09:59 VITAMIN D FROM THE SUN - IT'S NOT ALL BAD. 10:00 PEOPLE NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE FOR THEIR BODIES TO 10:03 PROCESS THINGS AND THESE ARE JUST A HANDFUL OF THEM - 10:07 NUTRITION - EATING THE RIGHT KIND OF FOOD - AND THE WATER'S 10:11 ON THE INSIDE AND ON THE OUTSIDE, CLEANLINESS, REST, 10:16 HAVING - YOU KNOW STRESS IS KILLING PEOPLE. 10:18 ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER, IF WE DO THEM RIGHT, 10:20 WILL PROMOTE LONG LIFE. YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT SOME 10:24 OF THE DANGERS WITH MEAT AND PACKING AND E-COLI AND DIFFERENT 10:27 DISEASES AND I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THESE THINGS. 10:30 NO DOUBT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT MAD COW DISEASE AND I DON'T KNOW IF 10:34 YOU'VE HEARD BUT THEY EVEN SAID, 'MAD PIG DISEASE.' 10:37 AND THE H1N1 FLU IS BETTER KNOWN AS WHO KNOWS WHAT? 10:41 SWINE FLU - AND NOW THEY'VE FOUND - THEY'VE IDENTIFIED IN 10:45 NORTH AMERICA, ANYWAY, THEY'VE EVEN FOUND SOME PIGS THAT HAVE 10:48 BEEN INFECTED BY PEOPLE - WHICH IS PRETTY SCARY, BECAUSE THAT'S 10:51 WHEN A PANDEMIC BEGINS TO - OR A VIRUS MUTATES ONE MORE TIME 10:56 AND IT CAN DEVELOP A VERY VIRULENT STRAIN. 10:59 SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, 'PASTOR DOUG, 11:02 YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 11:05 ANYBODY KNOWS THAT HUMANS ARE SUPPOSED TO EAT MEAT - I MEAN 11:07 OUR BODIES ARE DESIGNED - THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT THESE CANINE TEETH 11:10 UP HERE IS BECAUSE - THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE MEAT EATERS - 11:13 THESE BIG OLE CANINE TEETH.' THAT IS LUDICROUS. 11:17 HERE'S SOME CANINE TEETH FOR YOU - AND BY THE WAY, HE'S A 11:22 VEGETARIAN. AND THE BIGGEST CANINE TEETH IN 11:25 THE WORLD ARE ON ELEPHANTS AND HIPPOS AND THEY'RE VEGETARIANS. 11:29 AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ALL KINDS OF GOOFY THINGS - 'OH, YOU 11:31 CAN'T - YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH PROTEIN - IF YOU DON'T EAT MEAT 11:34 YOU'RE GOING TO BE MALNOURISHED.' OH, NONSENSE. 11:37 DO YOU KNOW A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH - DO YOU GUYS DO 11:40 THAT HERE? A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY 11:42 SANDWICH HAS GOT ALL THE BASIC FOODS IN IT RIGHT THERE. 11:44 IF YOU'VE GOT GOOD STRAWBERRY PRESERVES - THERE'S ALL KINDS OF 11:48 MYTHS AND RUMORS YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS. 11:54 >>IN THE BIBLE, JESUS TELLS US HE WANTS US TO HAVE AN ABUNDANT 11:57 LIFE. HE'S NOT ONLY OFFERING US ETERNAL LIFE, HE WANTS US TO 12:01 FEEL HEALTHIER IN THIS LIFE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE 12:05 BIBLE SECRETS ARE TO LIVING A LONGER, STRONGER LIFE? 12:08 THERE'S QUITE A FEW OF THEM THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT, BUT 12:10 WE'LL SHARE THEM WITH YOU IN THIS INCREDIBLE, VERY POPULAR 12:13 MAGAZINE CALLED AMAZING HEALTH FACTS . 12:16 YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT NUTRITION, SUNLIGHT, EXERCISE, AND A NUMBER 12:20 OF BIBLE SECRETS THAT'LL LENGTHEN YOUR LIFE AND MAKE YOU 12:23 FEEL THE VIGOR AND VITALITY GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE. 12:26 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, GO TO AMAZINGFACTS.ORG OR CALL THE 12:30 NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN AND ASK FOR OFFER #806, AND WHEN YOU GET 12:35 YOUR FREE RESOURCE, MAKE SURE AND READ IT AND THEN SHARE IT 12:38 WITH SOMEONE ELSE, BECAUSE GOD'S MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION. 12:44 NOW, THE BIBLE DID SAY THAT MAN CAN EAT MEAT. 12:46 ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FLOOD, GOD MADE A PROVISION THAT MAN COULD 12:49 EAT WHAT THEY CALLED 'CLEAN ANIMALS'. SO HE MADE A 12:51 DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE CLEAN AND THE UNCLEAN ANIMALS. 12:54 HE SAID - LEVITICUS 11:3 - "WHATEVER PARTS THE HOOF" - 12:58 CLOVEN HOOFED - "AND CHEWS THE CUD" - THEY COULD EAT THAT. 13:03 IT NEEDED BOTH CRITERIA - A CLOVEN HOOF AND CHEW THE CUD - 13:06 YOU KNOW, LIKE A SHEEP OR A GOAT OR A COW - THAT WAS, 13:10 TECHNICALLY, A CLEAN ANIMAL. ANY ANIMAL, BY THE WAY, THAT WAS 13:13 ALSO CLEAN FOR SACRIFICE, WAS CLEAN TO EAT. 13:16 ONLY CLEAN ANIMALS COULD BE USED AS A SACRIFICE IN THE TEMPLE. 13:20 THEN GOD MADE A CRITERIA FOR THE SEA CREATURES OF WHAT WAS SAFE 13:24 TO EAT. THERE WAS A CLEAN AND AN UNCLEAN IN THE OCEANS. 13:28 LEVITICUS 11:9, HE SAID, "THESE YOU SHALL EAT OF ALL 13:30 THAT ARE IN THE WATERS, WHATEVER IN THE WATERS HAS FINS 13:33 AND SCALES, THEM YOU SHALL EAT." 13:36 NOW THAT MEANS THAT IT NEEDED BOTH CRITERIA. 13:39 A SHARK'S GOT FINS BUT IT HAS NO SCALES - THEY'RE SCAVENGERS. 13:42 GOD DOES NOT WANT US EATING THE SCAVENGERS. THE CRABS AND 13:46 LOBSTERS THAT CRAWL ALONG ON THE BOTTOM - I USED TO EAT LOBSTER - 13:48 I USED TO CATCH MY OWN LOBSTER - AND OH, IT WAS YUMMY. 13:51 BY THE WAY, IF YOU EAT LOBSTER, YOU MAY AS WELL CHECK INTO THE 13:53 HOSPITAL AND ASK FOR AN IV DRIP AND FILL IT WITH CHOLESTEROL 13:57 BECAUSE IT'S JUST A PURE - IT'S ALMOST PURE CHOLESTEROL - 14:00 SHRIMP AND LOBSTER - AND OYSTERS AND ALL THAT - 14:05 THEY'RE SCAVENGERS. THEY LIVE AT THE BOTTOM. 14:06 THE WAY THEY CATCH THEM IS THEY PUT SOMETHING DEAD AND 14:09 DECOMPOSING IN A CAGE AND IT ATTRACTS THEM ALL. 14:12 SO IF YOU THINK THAT'S GROSS TO EAT SOMETHING DEAD AND 14:13 DECOMPOSING - BUT IF YOU'RE EATING THE GARBAGE CAN THAT EATS 14:16 THE DEAD AND DECOMPOSING STUFF, THAT'S NOT A LOT BETTER. 14:20 AND, YOU KNOW, SHRIMP IS ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS THAT PEOPLE EAT 14:22 WITH THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM OF IT STILL INTACT. 14:25 THAT'S KIND OF UCKY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. 14:28 SO IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE U.S. NAVY - 14:31 THEY DID A STUDY DURING WORLD WAR II - A LOT OF PILOTS 14:35 WERE SHOT DOWN IN THE PACIFIC - AND THEY WERE OUT IN THE OCEANS 14:38 AND JUST STARVING AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW, 'WHAT CAN WE EAT 14:41 AND WHAT CAN'T WE EAT?' BECAUSE THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF 14:43 CRITTERS THAT WOULD SOMETIMES GATHER AROUND THE LIFE RAFT AND 14:46 THEY DID A STUDY AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH AFTER 14:48 PROBABLY A MILLION TAX DOLLARS? THE SCIENTISTS SAID, 'WELL, 14:52 WE'VE DECIDED THAT THE BEST RULE OF THUMB - IF IT HAS FINS AND 14:56 SCALES IT'S PROBABLY SAFE.' ISN'T THAT INTERESTING? 14:59 SPEND ALL THAT MONEY TO SUPPORT WHAT THE BIBLE SAID IN 15:02 LEVITICUS. THAT MEANS THAT THE TYPICAL 15:05 SHELLFISH, THE SHARKS, THE LOBSTER AND CRABS - THE 15:10 SCAVENGERS - THEY'RE UNCLEAN, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. 15:13 AND AMONG THE BIRDS WHAT'S THE CRITERIA? 15:16 WE TALKED ABOUT THE ANIMALS AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE FISH. 15:18 AMONG THE BIRDS IT SAYS, 'EVERY RAVEN AFTER ITS KIND. 15:21 THE OWL AND THE NIGHTHAWK AND THE CUCKOO AND THE HAWK AFTER 15:24 ITS KIND,' THEY WERE UNCLEAN. WHAT THEY COULD EAT WAS THE 15:28 FORAGING BIRDS. NOW A FORAGING BIRD WOULD BE 15:31 LIKE A PHEASANT, A TURKEY - TECHNICALLY DOVE IS CLEAN. 15:37 REMEMBER, THEY OFFERED DOVE IN THE TEMPLE? 15:39 IT'S LIKE A QUAIL - BUT THE OTHER ANIMALS WERE UNCLEAN. 15:43 GOD SAID YOU DON'T TOUCH THEM, YOU DON'T EAT THEM. 15:45 NOW, SOME OF YOU ARE THINKING, 'PASTOR DOUG, WHY WHAT'S THAT 15:50 GOING TO MEAN?' AND, LIKE AMONG THE MAMMALS - IS 15:53 THERE A MAMMAL THAT HAS A CLOVEN HOOF BUT DOESN'T CHEW THE CUD? 15:56 IT'S VERY POPULAR - YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? 16:00 PIG - HOG - SWINE. THAT'S RIGHT, VERY POPULAR. 16:05 YOU KNOW, MOST OF THIS YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. 16:07 DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS YOU CAN'T EAT SKUNK? 16:10 DOES THAT BOTHER ANYBODY? THE BIBLE SAYS YOU CAN'T EAT CAMEL. 16:13 CAMEL CHEWS THE CUD BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF. 16:16 SO I HOPE WHEN YOU GO HOME YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT CAMEL 16:18 STEAK OUT OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR. YOU'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT. 16:22 AS LONG AS I'M NOT STEPPING ON YOUR TOES YOU DON'T CARE. 16:24 YOU SAY, 'THAT'S RIGHT. AMEN. NO MORE VULTURE - 16:26 CAN'T EAT ANYMORE VULTURE.' YOU DON'T CARE. 16:29 OH, BY THE WAY, KANGAROO - I DON'T KNOW, THEY CHEW THE CUD 16:34 BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF, DO THEY? 16:36 UNCLEAN. GOTTA GET THAT KANGAROO. 16:44 SOME OF YOU ARE THINKING, 'BUT I LIKE PORK. 16:46 WILL GOD DESTROY ME IF I EAT PORK? 16:48 AM I GOING TO BE IN TROUBLE IF I EAT SOMETHING THE BIBLE SAYS IS 16:50 UNCLEAN?' YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT I 16:53 THINK, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOD THINKS, RIGHT? 16:55 LET'S FIND OUT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THIS. 16:57 ISAIAH 66, VERSE 15 AND VERSE 17 - LISTEN - "FOR BEHOLD THE LORD 17:02 WILL COME WITH FIRE AND WITH CHARIOTS LIKE A WHIRLWIND TO 17:07 RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY" - TALKING ABOUT THE COMING OF THE 17:09 LORD - "THEY THAT SANCTIFY THEMSELVES AND THEY PURIFY 17:13 THEMSELVES" - THEY SAY, 'WE'RE PURE. 17:14 WE'RE SANCTIFIED. WE'RE HOLY.' "'EATING SWINE'S FLESH AND THE 17:18 ABOMINATION AND THE MOUSE WILL BE CONSUMED TOGETHER' SAYS THE 17:22 LORD." SO HE'S TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE 17:24 THAT SAY, 'OH, YOU KNOW, I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. 17:26 I'LL JUST PRAY OVER IT AND IT'LL BE HOLY. 17:30 I'VE SANCTIFIED IT.' NOTICE IT LUMPS RATS AND MICE 17:34 AND PIG IN THE SAME CATEGORY IN THIS VERSE. 17:38 SOME COUNTRIES EAT RATS, DON'T THEY? 17:42 DON'T MEAN TO BE CRITICAL BUT I WOULDN'T. 17:45 ONE REASON PIG IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IS BECAUSE - WELL, 17:49 PIGS ARE - I ALWAYS LOOK FOR SOME NEW WORD TO EXPLAIN IT BUT 17:53 I CAN NEVER COME UP WITH ANYTHING BETTER THAN TO SAY, 17:54 'WOW, THEY'RE PIGS!' I'VE FED THEM BEFORE. 17:57 MY NEIGHBOR LEFT ONCE AND SAID, 'CAN YOU TAKE CARE OF MY FARM 18:00 FOR ME?' AND I HAD TO FEED HIS PIGS AND 18:01 MILK HIS COWS AND THE MILKING WASN'T SO BAD, BUT THE - MAN, 18:05 THOSE PIGS THEY'LL EAT ANY- THEY'LL EAT EACH OTHER - THEY'VE 18:09 BEEN KNOWN TO EAT KIDS THAT FELL INTO THE STY BEFORE. 18:12 I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST SCAVENGERS. THEY'RE SMART. 18:15 I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT IF YOU WANT ONE AS A PET AND WALK IT ON 18:17 A LEASH LIKE A DOG. PIGS ARE ACTUALLY IN THE SAME 18:19 CATEGORY AS DOGS IN THE BIBLE. DID YOU KNOW THAT? 18:22 OFTEN WHEN PIGS ARE MENTIONED - IT SAYS, 'YOU DON'T GIVE THAT 18:24 WHICH IS HOLY TO THE DOGS AND YOU DON'T CAST YOUR PEARLS 18:26 BEFORE SWINE." IT SAYS, 'A DOG RETURNS TO HIS VOMIT AND A PIG 18:30 TO WALLOWING IN THE MIRE.' IT ALWAYS LUMPS DOGS AND PIGS 18:33 TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY'RE SCAVENGERS. 18:35 WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT THEM. THE BIBLE SAYS GOD ISN'T MOCKED. 18:39 DON'T DECEIVE YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING AND THERE'S NO 18:42 CONSEQUENCES - YOU KNOW BETTER - THAT IT DOES MATTER WHAT YOU EAT 18:46 AND IT WILL AFFECT YOUR HEALTH AND THE VERY THINGS IN THE BIBLE 18:49 THAT GOD SAID WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT ARE BECAUSE THEY'RE BAD 18:51 FOR US. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, NOVEMBER 18:55 2005, ARTICLE ABOUT LIVING LONGER. 19:01 NATIONAL - HOW MANY OF YOU SAW THIS ARTICLE? 19:04 THEY STUDIED THREE VERY UNUSUAL GROUPS AROUND THE WORLD THAT 19:07 LIVE LONGER THAN OTHER PEOPLE - AND THEY DIDN'T PICK THE PEOPLE 19:10 IN HUNZA, THEY PICKED THE PEOPLE IN OKINAWA, THEY PICKED THE 19:15 PEOPLE IN SARDINIA - I'VE BEEN TO THESE PLACES - AND SEVENTH- 19:20 DAY ADVENTISTS IN LOMA LINDA, CALIFORNIA. 19:23 AND THEY WERE ESPECIALLY INTRIGUED WITH THE SEVENTH-DAY 19:25 ADVENTISTS BECAUSE IT WASN'T AT ALL GENETIC. 19:28 THE PEOPLE IN SARDINIA WERE ON AN ISLAND - 19:30 IT WAS GENETIC. THE PEOPLE ON OKINAWA - 19:32 THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF GENETIC INFLUENCE THERE. 19:35 BUT THE PEOPLE IN LOMA LINDA WERE FROM ALL DIFFERENT RACES 19:38 AND BACKGROUNDS BUT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WERE LIVING LONGER - 19:42 MEN MORE THAN 9 YEARS LONGER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, WOMEN 19:47 6.1 YEARS LONGER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AND THEY 19:51 ATTRIBUTE IT TO A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF SEVENTH-DAY 19:53 ADVENTISTS ARE VEGETARIAN - NOT ALL - AND THEY BELIEVE IN 19:58 RESTING - THE SABBATH, I THINK, CONTRIBUTES TO THAT. 20:01 THEY BELIEVE IN FAMILY AND FAITH HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. 20:05 EXERCISE, SERVICE TO OTHERS - I THINK YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE AWAY, 20:09 YOU BLESS AND SERVE OTHERS GOD BLESSES YOU BACK, 20:12 BUT IT WAS ON NATIONAL NEWS SO IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE - 20:17 THEY FOLLOW THE BIBLICAL DIET. 20:19 WHAT ARE SOME OF THE VERY SIMPLE YET IMPORTANT HEALTH PRINCIPLES 20:22 - HEALTH LAWS - FOUND IN THE BIBLE? 20:23 I'M GOING TO RACE THROUGH A SERIES OF PRINCIPLES - THE BIBLE 20:26 TEACHES NOT ONLY CERTAIN HEALTH LAWS - SOME THINGS ARE SIMPLE, 20:30 YOU KNOW, LIKE RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT - DO IT AND DON'T DO IT - 20:33 THEN THERE ARE HEALTH PRINCIPLES. 20:35 VERY SIMPLY, ANIMAL FAT SHOULD NOT BE EATEN - OR BLOOD, 20:39 BY THE WAY. DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT? 20:42 AND YET SO MUCH OF OUR FOOD IS - IT'S NOT JUST ANIMAL FAT, A LOT 20:44 OF OUR FOOD IS DEEP FRIED IN ANIMAL FAT AND PEOPLE - SOME 20:49 PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, SAVE THE FAT FOR ME.' 20:51 I MEAN THEY JUST - THEY CRAVE THAT. 20:53 NOW THERE IS SOMETHING WHERE PEOPLE CRAVE FAT AND GOD EVEN 20:58 DESCRIBES THE PROMISED LAND AS A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY 21:01 BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE CRAVING THAT CREAM - THAT'S WHAT 21:04 ICE CREAM IS - THE PURE FAT OF THE MILK. 21:07 BUT, IF YOU EAT A LOT OF FAT YOU GET FAT. 21:12 HATRED - SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY'RE 21:15 EATING BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT'S EATING THEM - THEY'RE ANGRY, 21:19 THEY'RE BITTER, THEY WON'T FORGIVE SOMEBODY AND THEY'RE 21:22 DESTROYING THEIR HEALTH WITH THIS. 21:24 IT REALLY - IT'S PROVEN, FRIENDS, IT DOES AFFECT YOUR 21:26 HEALTH IF YOU GO AROUND NURTURING A GRUDGE AND ANGRY AND 21:29 BITTER THROUGH YOUR LIFE. SO LEARN TO FORGIVE. 21:32 UNLOAD, CAST YOUR CARES UPON THE LORD. 21:35 OVEREATING IS HARMFUL. EVEN OF THE BEST FOOD YOU CAN 21:39 EAT TOO MUCH. MATTER OF FACT, WE'RE LIVING 21:41 RIGHT NOW IN A CULTURE THAT IS OVER NOURISHED. 21:45 OUR BODIES NEED PROPER REST. ALL THE STRESS - THAT'S ONE 21:50 REASON THE LORD GIVES US THE SABBATH. 21:52 WHEN GOD MADE ADAM HE DIDN'T MAKE HIM TO JUST SIT IN A 21:55 HAMMOCK UNDER A TREE, HE SAID, 'I MADE YOU TO DRESS AND TO KEEP 21:58 THE GARDEN.' HE WAS MADE TO BE ACTIVE AND GOD 22:01 WANTS US TO USE OUR BODIES - ANYTHING YOU DON'T USE YOU LOSE. 22:05 HE WANTS YOU TO USE YOUR MIND. THEY FOUND THAT MENTAL ACTIVITY 22:09 AND CHALLENGES AND STUFF ACTUALLY PREVENTS DEGENERATION 22:13 AND ALZHEIMER'S. USING YOUR MUSCLES, USING YOUR 22:17 BODY - IT'LL PROLONG THE VITALITY OF YOUR SYSTEM. 22:21 IF YOU DON'T USE IT YOU LOSE IT - THAT'S ALSO TRUE IN YOUR 22:24 RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD - YOU'VE GOT TO USE YOUR FAITH. 22:27 A POSITIVE ATTITUDE - BE HAPPY, LAUGH. 22:32 YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW THAT I LIKE TO LAUGH - EVEN COVERING 22:34 SERIOUS SUBJECTS LIKE THIS YOU CAN HAVE FUN. 22:37 LIFE'S ALREADY SERIOUS ENOUGH, YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN TO BE HAPPY 22:40 AND TO LAUGH AND SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF 22:43 AND YOU CAN'T TAKE EVERYTHING PERSONALLY. 22:46 HAVE A GOOD ATTITUDE - SMILE. THEY SAY IT TAKES FEWER MUSCLES. 22:49 WHAT SOLEMN REMINDER IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO IGNORE GOD'S RULES? 22:54 1 CORINTHIANS 3:16, "YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, IF ANY MAN 22:59 DEFILES THE TEMPLE OF GOD HIM WILL GOD DESTROY." 23:03 YOU'RE NOT YOUR OWN, YOU'RE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. 23:06 GOD MADE YOUR BODY. HE OWNS YOU BECAUSE HE REDEEMED YOU. 23:10 HE OWNS YOU BECAUSE HE CREATED YOU. 23:12 HOW MANY OF YOU WANT A NEW BODY WHEN JESUS COMES? 23:15 YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF THE ONE HE GAVE YOU IF YOU WANT TO TRADE 23:17 THIS ONE IN ON A NEWER MODEL. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 23:23 NOW I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE THINKING, 'OH, PASTOR DOUG, WHAT 23:25 YOU'RE SAYING IS TRUE BUT I'VE ALREADY HURT MY BODY SO MUCH. 23:29 IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME? NO. YOU COME TO HIM 23:31 WHEREVER YOU ARE. YOU START FOLLOWING THESE 23:33 PRINCIPLES THERE'LL ALWAYS BE BENEFIT. 23:36 I'VE EVEN KNOWN SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE DECLARED TERMINAL THAT 23:39 BEGAN TO FOLLOW SOME OF THE BASIC HEALTH PRINCIPLES AND 23:42 THEY'VE BEEN HEALED FROM INCREDIBLE DISEASES BECAUSE YOUR 23:46 BODY SUDDENLY CAN DO THINGS. IT'LL PROLONG YOUR TRANQUILITY 23:51 IF NOTHING ELSE AND SO, FOLLOW THE PRINCIPLES. 23:53 YOU'LL ALWAYS BE BETTER OFF - YOU'LL FEEL BETTER. 23:54 YOU'LL THINK BETTER. 'YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE 23:57 HOLY GHOST; THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY.' 24:01 THE BIBLE SAYS, 'DON'T BE DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED. 24:04 FOR WHATEVER A MAN SOWS HE WILL ALSO REAP.' 24:08 ANYTHING YOU GET ADDICTED TO ISN'T GOOD FOR YOU. 24:11 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEBODY AND THEY'RE - AND YOU SAY, 24:14 'WHAT'S THE MATTER?' 'I'VE GOT TO HAVE A BANANA 24:16 QUICK!' THEY DON'T EVER HAVE THE SHAKES 24:21 BECAUSE THEY - YOU NEVER CATCH YOUR HUSBAND GETTING UP AND 24:25 GOING TO THE REFRIGERATOR AND SAYING, 'HONEY WHAT'S WRONG?' 24:27 'WELL, I'M JUST MAKING A LITTLE PILGRIMAGE.' 24:29 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?' 'WELL, I JUST - I REALLY FELT 24:31 LIKE SOME BRUSSELS SPROUTS.' NO, THEY DON'T DO THAT. 24:35 THEY DON'T MIGRATE TO THE REFRIGERATOR IN THE WEE HOURS 24:38 AND LOOK AROUND AND EAT LETTUCE, DO THEY? 24:44 WE GET ADDICTED TO THINGS THAT ARE BAD FOR US. 24:47 WHAT SHOULD EVERY SINCERE CHRISTIAN - BIBLE BELIEVING 24:49 CHRISTIAN - ENDEAVOR TO DO AT ONCE? 24:52 'PRESENT YOUR BODY AS A LIVING SACRIFICE HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE 24:56 UNTO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE.' 24:59 SO JUST GIVE HIM YOUR BODY. SAY, 'LORD, I WANT TO BE YOURS 25:01 NOT ONLY IN MY HEART AND MY SOUL BUT IN MY BODY. 25:04 AND I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST TO TAKE CARE OF IT.' 25:06 'EVERY MAN STRIVES FOR MASTERY. 25:08 HE'S TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS.' NOW SOME THINGS I MENTIONED 25:11 TONIGHT - YOU'VE GOT LIKE TRAFFIC SIGNALS - YOU'VE GOT RED 25:13 LIGHT, YOU'VE GOT YELLOW LIGHT, YOU'VE GOT GREEN LIGHT. 25:16 SOME THINGS ARE JUST PLAIN OLD RED LIGHT. 25:18 I DON'T BELIEVE YOU SHOULD DRINK ANY ALCOHOL. 25:21 I DON'T BELIEVE YOU SHOULD EVER SMOKE ANY CIGARETTE - NOT A 25:23 LITTLE CIGARETTE SMOKING IS GOOD FOR YOU - NONE OF IT IS 25:26 GOOD FOR YOU. IT'S A RED LIGHT. 25:27 SOME THINGS WOULD BE A YELLOW LIGHT - YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE 25:30 GOING TO EAT MEAT, IT'S GOT TO BE THE CLEAN MEATS - 25:32 DON'T EAT TOO MUCH. SAME THING WITH DAIRY PRODUCTS. 25:35 BY THE WAY, YOU DON'T GET CHOLESTEROL FROM ANYTHING BUT 25:37 ANIMAL PRODUCTS AND SO YOU WANT MODERATION IN THOSE THINGS THAT 25:42 ARE PERMITTED AND THEN THE GREEN LIGHT - FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS, 25:45 AND VEGETABLES - BUT EVEN THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT TOO MUCH. 25:47 BE TEMPERATE - CLEANSE OURSELVES FROM ALL 25:50 FILTHINESS OF THE FLESH. 25:52 'EVERY MAN THAT HAS THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIES HIMSELF EVEN AS HE 25:57 IS PURE.' 'I'M WORRIED ABOUT SOME OF MY 25:59 EVIL HABITS - THEY HOLD ME SO TIGHTLY. WHAT CAN I DO?' 26:03 THE BIBLE SAYS, 'AS MANY AS RECEIVE HIM TO THEM HE GIVES 26:06 POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD.' 26:08 THE BIBLE PROMISES 'I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS 26:12 THAT STRENGTHENS ME.' DO YOU BELIEVE THAT FRIENDS? 26:15 HEY, I'LL TELL YOU, HE'S MADE BIG CHANGES IN MY LIFE, AND WHAT 26:17 I'M TEACHING YOU NOW I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FOR 30 YEARS. 26:22 I'VE BEEN A VEGETARIAN FOR 30 YEARS. 26:24 I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT TONIGHT, BUT USUALLY DURING A 26:25 PRESENTATION LIKE THIS I DO A BACK FLIP - BUT I HAVEN'T DONE 26:29 THAT FOR TWO YEARS AND YOU DON'T WANT ME TO FALL ON MY HEAD. 26:31 AND BY THE WAY, I HEARD HERE IN SYDNEY THE AMBULANCE RESPONSE 26:34 TIME IS NOT VERY FAST AND SO I THOUGHT, 'I BETTER NOT DO THAT.' 26:39 I DID DO A HANDSTAND EARLIER TODAY JUST TO SEE IF I COULD 26:41 STILL DO ONE BUT I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT - YOU BELIEVE ME 26:44 DON'T YOU? ANYWAY FRIENDS, I JUST WANT YOU 26:46 TO KNOW THAT GOD CARES ABOUT YOU - BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT - IT'S NOT 26:51 JUST SPIRITUAL, HE CARES ABOUT YOUR BODIES. 26:54 THERE'S A LOT OF TRUTH IN THE WORD.
