The children of Israel,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.96
as they were traveling
through the wilderness,
00:00:03.00\00:00:05.37
they cheered their way
by music of sacred song.
00:00:05.40\00:00:09.70
Music is a powerful healer.
00:00:09.74\00:00:12.07
It can bind as a glue,
00:00:12.11\00:00:13.58
and depression and
other things as well.
00:00:13.61\00:00:15.24
Today's program is
entitled "A for Adoration."
00:00:15.28\00:00:19.45
We'll be right back.
00:00:19.48\00:00:20.82
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:42.70\00:00:44.21
My name is Curtis Eakins
00:00:44.24\00:00:45.71
and this is my beautiful
bride of 24 glorious years.
00:00:45.74\00:00:51.31
Your name?
00:00:51.35\00:00:52.68
Paula Eakins as it is taping.
00:00:52.71\00:00:54.22
As it is taping?
00:00:54.25\00:00:55.58
Now, when you see it,
00:00:55.62\00:00:56.95
we probably be in
our silver anniversary.
00:00:56.99\00:00:58.69
Whoo hoo. Whoo.
00:00:58.72\00:01:00.12
Okay. Just...
00:01:00.16\00:01:01.49
Just one whoo...
00:01:01.52\00:01:02.86
One whoo is all right. Okay.
00:01:02.89\00:01:04.23
Anyway, but we're
glad you're with us again,
00:01:04.26\00:01:06.90
today's program.
00:01:06.93\00:01:08.26
And this is a
program that we're doing
00:01:08.30\00:01:12.33
about a acronym called healers.
00:01:12.37\00:01:14.70
So we covered the H,
that's herbal medicine.
00:01:14.74\00:01:17.84
We covered the E, that's eating.
00:01:17.87\00:01:20.78
Today the letter
is A for adoration.
00:01:20.81\00:01:25.38
Adoration.
00:01:25.41\00:01:26.75
This is a
powerful healer. All right?
00:01:26.78\00:01:29.78
And we use in our
several references of,
00:01:29.82\00:01:32.15
some of the main references
we're using is, number one,
00:01:32.19\00:01:34.89
is of course God's Word.
00:01:34.92\00:01:36.56
He is the standard
of truth, God's Word,
00:01:36.59\00:01:39.26
to source all
wisdom and knowledge.
00:01:39.29\00:01:41.03
And also our feature author
throughout this whole series
00:01:41.06\00:01:44.93
is Alan White, Christian Author,
00:01:44.97\00:01:46.74
we're using her
statements as well.
00:01:46.77\00:01:48.40
Then the last, our reference
is the clinical studies,
00:01:48.44\00:01:51.87
we're using that as well.
00:01:51.91\00:01:53.24
So those are three
tiers of credibility.
00:01:53.27\00:01:55.24
But A for Adoration
is a powerful healer,
00:01:55.28\00:01:59.21
so that we can help those people
00:01:59.25\00:02:01.68
safely and effectively
00:02:01.72\00:02:03.95
weighing themselves
off of the drug medication
00:02:03.99\00:02:07.22
without those
baleful side effects
00:02:07.26\00:02:08.96
that come with as well
00:02:08.99\00:02:10.46
with that knowledge of
your primary care physician.
00:02:10.49\00:02:14.23
And also stresses that
people go through as well.
00:02:14.26\00:02:16.97
A lot of that adoration
is really a part of it.
00:02:17.00\00:02:19.60
So why don't we start
off by saying or identifying
00:02:19.63\00:02:22.94
what exactly is adoration?
00:02:22.97\00:02:25.34
Okay.
00:02:25.37\00:02:26.71
Well, let's define the term.
00:02:26.74\00:02:28.08
You know, my
grade school teacher
00:02:28.11\00:02:29.44
years ago, she said,
00:02:29.48\00:02:30.81
class, if you don't
know what the word mean,
00:02:30.85\00:02:33.28
take the word apart.
00:02:33.31\00:02:35.12
Try to define its
components and put it together.
00:02:35.15\00:02:37.32
So adoration, the root word is,
00:02:37.35\00:02:40.79
what I do with
you, honey, adore.
00:02:40.82\00:02:45.76
That wasn't a joke.
00:02:45.79\00:02:47.13
So why is the laughter?
00:02:47.16\00:02:49.73
Okay, not sure.
00:02:49.76\00:02:51.10
You're not sure?
00:02:51.13\00:02:52.47
Okay. Adore.
00:02:52.50\00:02:53.84
So okay, I kind
of threw you off.
00:02:53.87\00:02:55.20
You threw me off.
00:02:55.24\00:02:56.57
Okay, let me go
with the definition.
00:02:56.60\00:02:57.94
Okay, yeah.
00:02:57.97\00:02:59.31
So adore...
00:02:59.34\00:03:00.68
So adore,
adoration, break it up.
00:03:00.71\00:03:02.24
AD means to.
00:03:02.28\00:03:05.71
Orore means to speak.
00:03:05.75\00:03:09.18
So, adoration is
something that is some...
00:03:09.22\00:03:13.32
something that's
audible to speak.
00:03:13.36\00:03:15.82
So therefore,
00:03:15.86\00:03:17.19
and there are three forms
of how we can show adoration,
00:03:17.23\00:03:21.33
adoration towards God,
and his love and devotion.
00:03:21.36\00:03:26.10
We can do it through music.
00:03:26.13\00:03:28.54
We can do it
through the spoken word
00:03:28.57\00:03:31.94
and the last one we
can do or show adoration,
00:03:31.97\00:03:34.84
praise through prayer.
00:03:34.88\00:03:37.08
So those are three
forms of adoration.
00:03:37.11\00:03:39.35
Now I like to add one
more too, is also thought,
00:03:39.38\00:03:42.78
because in order
to show adoration,
00:03:42.82\00:03:47.56
you must have a
positive thinking process.
00:03:47.59\00:03:51.16
It's hard to show
true sincere adoration
00:03:51.19\00:03:55.40
with negative thinking.
00:03:55.43\00:03:56.77
Absolutely.
00:03:56.80\00:03:58.13
So therefore thoughts of guilt,
00:03:58.17\00:03:59.87
depression, grief, remorse...
00:03:59.90\00:04:03.07
We can show adoration
but it won't be sincere.
00:04:03.10\00:04:06.31
It won't be from the heart.
00:04:06.34\00:04:07.68
So Jesus said,
00:04:07.71\00:04:09.31
"They honor Me with their lips
00:04:09.34\00:04:11.68
but their heart is far from Me."
00:04:11.71\00:04:13.42
So, the adoration,
00:04:13.45\00:04:15.48
praise towards God
00:04:15.52\00:04:17.82
and honoring Him
with all his love
00:04:17.85\00:04:19.45
and devotion etcetera.
00:04:19.49\00:04:21.99
I say, I know
they're saying right now,
00:04:22.02\00:04:23.76
then so where is
that in the Word of God?
00:04:23.79\00:04:26.39
Adoration?
00:04:26.43\00:04:27.76
Adoration? Adoration?
00:04:27.80\00:04:29.13
Now there are
several texts of scripture
00:04:29.16\00:04:30.97
in God's Word about adoration.
00:04:31.00\00:04:33.13
I mean, we can go a
whole program just on this.
00:04:33.17\00:04:36.10
If we had to pick one text
00:04:36.14\00:04:38.47
in the Word of God, just one
00:04:38.51\00:04:40.68
and this would be the
one is Psalms, Chapter 9.
00:04:40.71\00:04:43.35
Again, we're using our workbook,
00:04:43.38\00:04:45.21
this is a workbook.
00:04:45.25\00:04:46.58
Yes.
00:04:46.61\00:04:47.95
The Seven Prophet Healers.
00:04:47.98\00:04:49.32
So we're talking out
with our workbook here.
00:04:49.35\00:04:50.69
And Psalms 9:1-2, they said,
00:04:50.72\00:04:54.22
"And I will and there is thus."
00:04:54.26\00:04:56.32
And David's doing the talk.
00:04:56.36\00:04:57.69
David's doing the
talking, all right, good point.
00:04:57.73\00:05:00.33
David says, "I
will praise You, O Lord,
00:05:00.36\00:05:04.03
with all my whole heart.
00:05:04.07\00:05:06.87
I will tell of all Your wonders.
00:05:06.90\00:05:10.07
I will be glad
and rejoice in You.
00:05:10.11\00:05:13.68
I will sing praise to Your name,
00:05:13.71\00:05:18.45
O Most High."
00:05:18.48\00:05:21.18
I like this
one. I like this one.
00:05:21.22\00:05:22.85
let's explain on
that a little bit, honey.
00:05:22.88\00:05:24.22
I like it because you know
David's making a statement.
00:05:24.25\00:05:26.22
And I think that
sometimes individuals, you know,
00:05:26.25\00:05:29.52
as they're starting your day off
00:05:29.56\00:05:30.89
or going through
their day, things happen.
00:05:30.93\00:05:33.06
I think when we
start our day off with God,
00:05:33.09\00:05:35.10
begin the day with God
00:05:35.13\00:05:36.53
and then just
think back always...
00:05:36.56\00:05:38.53
always just think
back of the wonders
00:05:38.57\00:05:40.54
of what God has done for you.
00:05:40.57\00:05:42.34
What has He done for you?
00:05:42.37\00:05:43.71
You know, sometimes you
just take a piece of paper,
00:05:43.74\00:05:45.84
and take a line
down the middle of it,
00:05:45.87\00:05:47.58
right down appraises,
write down the negativity,
00:05:47.61\00:05:50.45
your praises should
outnumber your negativity,
00:05:50.48\00:05:54.72
because first of all,
if we just start off with,
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.92
it woke me up this
morning, got me started.
00:05:57.95\00:06:00.26
There you go.
00:06:00.29\00:06:01.62
He put breath in me for
the beginning of the day.
00:06:01.66\00:06:03.83
So, oh, don't get me started.
00:06:03.86\00:06:06.39
Adoration to God,
He is a awesome God.
00:06:06.43\00:06:10.73
Yes, He is.
00:06:10.77\00:06:12.10
Yes, He is. Yes, He is.
00:06:12.13\00:06:13.47
And you know, a lot of people...
00:06:13.50\00:06:14.90
Sometimes we have to blaze
a new trail in our brain...
00:06:14.94\00:06:19.94
Absolutely.
00:06:19.97\00:06:21.31
To praise God. Yes.
00:06:21.34\00:06:22.68
One writer says, our
Christian author says that,
00:06:22.71\00:06:25.41
determine to praise God,
00:06:25.45\00:06:28.82
make a determined
effort to praise God.
00:06:28.85\00:06:33.66
And when we do that,
it increases our will.
00:06:33.69\00:06:36.49
And after a while we
can't help but to praise Him.
00:06:36.52\00:06:39.73
Once you make a
determined effort
00:06:39.76\00:06:41.10
to praise God.
00:06:41.13\00:06:42.46
And so therefore
adoration toward God...
00:06:42.50\00:06:44.80
Now, the music,
00:06:44.83\00:06:46.17
we're gonna highlight the music
00:06:46.20\00:06:47.54
because it's three
ways I can say before,
00:06:47.57\00:06:49.64
through music song,
through the spoken word,
00:06:49.67\00:06:53.04
and the last one through prayer.
00:06:53.07\00:06:54.74
We're not going to
cover all of those of course.
00:06:54.78\00:06:56.44
We're just gonna
highlight on the song
00:06:56.48\00:06:58.78
or the singing
here in this section
00:06:58.81\00:07:00.62
as far as this is concerned.
00:07:00.65\00:07:02.52
Well, now when I
think about music,
00:07:02.55\00:07:06.49
I think about the fact that...
00:07:06.52\00:07:07.86
You know for us, for me,
00:07:07.89\00:07:09.22
in our home, we keep WJOU on,
00:07:09.26\00:07:13.03
which is a
Christian network, okay.
00:07:13.06\00:07:14.53
Oakwood University network.
00:07:14.56\00:07:16.40
And my girl, Melissa is
the one who host the program
00:07:16.43\00:07:19.57
from 6am to 10am in the morning.
00:07:19.60\00:07:22.14
And just sometime I tell people
who will say I'm stressed out,
00:07:22.17\00:07:25.74
I'm going
through a lot of stuff.
00:07:25.77\00:07:27.24
I said, you know, put
on some spiritual music.
00:07:27.28\00:07:30.28
Now, when we
say spiritual music,
00:07:30.31\00:07:31.65
we're not talking
about those songs like,
00:07:31.68\00:07:33.35
"I lost my dog, my
man, my car, my house,"
00:07:33.38\00:07:35.75
those are not the songs.
00:07:35.78\00:07:37.12
That's not gonna work.
00:07:37.15\00:07:38.52
They will not uplift you. Okay.
00:07:38.55\00:07:40.49
That's music, but not the
music we're talking about.
00:07:40.52\00:07:42.39
Yeah.
00:07:42.42\00:07:43.76
But music,
00:07:43.79\00:07:45.13
we have a
musical mind, you know,
00:07:45.16\00:07:46.70
and the very idea that
as we hear those songs,
00:07:46.73\00:07:49.96
as the songs begin our day,
00:07:50.00\00:07:51.93
it really helps to keep us
00:07:51.97\00:07:53.94
in a positive mode all day long.
00:07:53.97\00:07:55.54
Okay. Good.
00:07:55.57\00:07:56.91
And then on top of
it, if I'm kind of like,
00:07:56.94\00:07:59.54
let's say for instance, we
got a lot of shows going on.
00:07:59.57\00:08:03.35
And let's say
we're doing 12 shows,
00:08:03.38\00:08:05.35
like we're doing.
00:08:05.38\00:08:06.72
Like we're doing
right now this week.
00:08:06.75\00:08:08.08
So when I get ready
to go to bed at night,
00:08:08.12\00:08:10.02
my mind is on
the show, the recipe,
00:08:10.05\00:08:13.09
all that stuff is you
know, I'll be moving it.
00:08:13.12\00:08:15.76
Okay.
00:08:15.79\00:08:17.13
I have to just put
on my water sounds,
00:08:17.16\00:08:19.66
my sounds of
nature, praise the Lord.
00:08:19.69\00:08:22.53
And you know what happens to me?
00:08:22.56\00:08:23.90
It knocks me out.
00:08:23.93\00:08:25.93
Like it did last night.
00:08:25.97\00:08:27.30
Yes, it did.
00:08:27.34\00:08:28.67
Did knock me out, okay.
00:08:28.70\00:08:30.04
Yes, it did, yes.
00:08:30.07\00:08:31.41
And I didn't
think about anything
00:08:31.44\00:08:32.77
that was going to go on.
00:08:32.81\00:08:34.14
I just let the Lord
handle all the business.
00:08:34.18\00:08:35.51
Okay.
00:08:35.54\00:08:36.88
I want to look at
another text of scripts
00:08:36.91\00:08:38.25
because we want to
highlight God's Word
00:08:38.28\00:08:40.42
as our standard of truth.
00:08:40.45\00:08:41.78
Yes.
00:08:41.82\00:08:43.15
And it's found in
Colossians Chapter 3:16.
00:08:43.18\00:08:45.99
Colossians
Chapter 3:16 because...
00:08:46.02\00:08:47.82
Another favorite.
00:08:47.86\00:08:49.19
Again, adoration, praise,
00:08:49.22\00:08:51.43
and we're gonna get
into a little bit about
00:08:51.46\00:08:52.99
how it can also help
with diseases as well.
00:08:53.03\00:08:57.57
So adoration, praise,
00:08:57.60\00:08:59.47
here it is Colossians 3:16.
00:08:59.50\00:09:02.77
"Let the Word of Christ..."
00:09:02.80\00:09:04.21
Now this is a spoken word.
00:09:04.24\00:09:05.84
Remember music,
00:09:05.87\00:09:07.48
spoken word, and
prayer, this is spoken word.
00:09:07.51\00:09:09.78
"Let the Word of Christ dwell
in you richly with all wisdom,
00:09:09.81\00:09:14.68
teaching and
admonishing one another."
00:09:14.72\00:09:18.05
So now we're
teaching other individuals.
00:09:18.09\00:09:20.92
And here it is.
00:09:20.96\00:09:22.52
"In Psalms, hymns,
00:09:22.56\00:09:26.29
spiritual songs,
00:09:26.33\00:09:28.16
singing with grace in
your heart to the Lord."
00:09:28.20\00:09:34.10
All right.
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.47
So this is ammunition that
00:09:35.50\00:09:36.94
not just we can
sing to ourselves,
00:09:36.97\00:09:39.34
we can uplift ourselves,
00:09:39.37\00:09:40.71
but also
admonishing and teaching others
00:09:40.74\00:09:43.85
through the song
and musical sounds
00:09:43.88\00:09:46.45
and that's how
the children of Israel
00:09:46.48\00:09:47.82
as they were going
through the wilderness,
00:09:47.85\00:09:49.72
they cheered their way
by music of sacred song.
00:09:49.75\00:09:53.32
That's how they
travel through the wilderness
00:09:53.36\00:09:55.12
and it can really banish a
lot of gloom and depression,
00:09:55.16\00:09:59.19
everything else as well.
00:09:59.23\00:10:00.56
Well, like you said before,
you can't really sing praises
00:10:00.60\00:10:03.03
and also be stressed
out at the same time.
00:10:03.06\00:10:05.60
Absolutely, yeah.
00:10:05.63\00:10:06.97
Something goes hand in hand.
00:10:07.00\00:10:08.34
Praise God, that He put
you out that way as well.
00:10:08.37\00:10:09.70
We got a graphic
00:10:09.74\00:10:11.07
and I'm gonna put
this on the screen here.
00:10:11.11\00:10:12.44
This is coming
from an aspiring author,
00:10:12.47\00:10:14.84
our future author
that we're highlighting,
00:10:14.88\00:10:17.55
doing this series as well.
00:10:17.58\00:10:19.21
This is coming from
the Third Testimonies.
00:10:19.25\00:10:22.38
Testimonies, volume 3, page 172,
00:10:22.42\00:10:24.15
listen to these
words, here it is.
00:10:24.19\00:10:26.79
Quote. It's on the screen.
00:10:26.82\00:10:28.96
"Heaven is all health,
00:10:28.99\00:10:32.43
and the more deeply
the heavenly influences
00:10:32.46\00:10:37.37
are realized the more
sure will be the recovery
00:10:37.40\00:10:42.20
of the believing invalid."
00:10:42.24\00:10:44.84
Heaven is all health.
00:10:44.87\00:10:46.21
So once we realize
the heavily influences
00:10:46.24\00:10:49.81
that in itself sets us
up to receive the healing
00:10:49.84\00:10:53.52
for those who believe
it can store us the health.
00:10:53.55\00:10:55.92
So music, adoration
is a powerful healer.
00:10:55.95\00:11:00.99
So how can...
00:11:01.02\00:11:02.69
how can that music,
00:11:02.72\00:11:04.06
how can that improve our health?
00:11:04.09\00:11:05.96
Well, I want to
turn to page here,
00:11:05.99\00:11:07.33
I think is in our workbook here.
00:11:07.36\00:11:08.86
There's several
things that we're gonna ahead
00:11:08.90\00:11:10.23
and close out.
00:11:10.27\00:11:11.70
Number one,
00:11:11.73\00:11:13.10
music helps to boost our
immune system, all right,
00:11:13.13\00:11:16.34
our white blood cell count.
00:11:16.37\00:11:17.77
And also when we hear music,
00:11:17.81\00:11:19.91
it also focuses on the brain,
00:11:19.94\00:11:23.75
the left hemisphere of the brain
00:11:23.78\00:11:26.51
increases with blood flow,
00:11:26.55\00:11:28.32
which also creates
more cognitive improvement
00:11:28.35\00:11:33.29
and within 30
minutes, when hearing music,
00:11:33.32\00:11:37.03
so therefore it also
impacts cognitive improvement.
00:11:37.06\00:11:41.46
Also, those who are
going through chemotherapy,
00:11:41.50\00:11:44.10
cancer patients,
00:11:44.13\00:11:45.47
they have less complications
00:11:45.50\00:11:47.64
during those treatments as well.
00:11:47.67\00:11:49.00
So music can be
a powerful healer,
00:11:49.04\00:11:51.61
also dementia as well.
00:11:51.64\00:11:53.34
So it's a very
efficacious music,
00:11:53.38\00:11:56.18
a powerful healer.
00:11:56.21\00:11:57.91
In your workbook,
we have also of course,
00:11:57.95\00:12:00.22
the spoken word and also
the power prayer as well.
00:12:00.25\00:12:03.69
But time is running out on
us but I think we're gonna go
00:12:03.72\00:12:06.72
into the kitchen
right now, honey,
00:12:06.76\00:12:08.09
and what we're going to
have for the audience for today?
00:12:08.12\00:12:10.93
Well, you know, we love to make,
00:12:10.96\00:12:12.53
I mean, I love
sauces to go over things.
00:12:12.56\00:12:15.03
So today we're actually gonna do
00:12:15.06\00:12:17.10
a peach strawberry sauce
to go over top of our waffles.
00:12:17.13\00:12:21.67
Oh, okay.
00:12:21.70\00:12:23.04
So get your
paper and your pencil
00:12:23.07\00:12:24.41
and meet us in the kitchen.
00:12:24.44\00:12:26.14
