Welcome to another
edition of Bible Alive.
00:00:19.42\00:00:21.44
I am so glad that
you're here with us today.
00:00:21.47\00:00:23.01
We've got a lot of
exciting things going on.
00:00:23.04\00:00:24.98
If you remember last time
probably you saw this program -
00:00:25.01\00:00:29.93
sometimes we switch
things around a little bit.
00:00:29.96\00:00:32.07
We talked about the
practical eight natural remedies
00:00:32.10\00:00:36.22
that God has given us.
00:00:36.25\00:00:37.76
We only got done with
two of them. There's eight.
00:00:37.79\00:00:40.07
So we're going to
work on three today.
00:00:40.10\00:00:42.18
We want to keep that in prayer.
00:00:42.21\00:00:43.18
But before we start that,
I want to introduce to you -
00:00:43.19\00:00:47.05
you should know him
by now, Danny Vierra.
00:00:47.08\00:00:49.02
Danny, great to have
you here again today.
00:00:49.05\00:00:51.36
Glad to be back, Dwight.
00:00:51.39\00:00:52.40
Okay, we're going to
get right into water, right?
00:00:52.43\00:00:59.51
Yes.
00:00:59.54\00:01:00.51
That's the NEWSTART.
00:01:00.52\00:01:02.10
We started a nutrition exercise.
00:01:02.13\00:01:04.04
But we'll get with
water then after water,
00:01:04.07\00:01:07.12
we're going to go with
sunshine and then temperance.
00:01:07.15\00:01:09.41
That's what we're
going to work on today.
00:01:09.44\00:01:11.35
You might want to get
a pencil and paper out.
00:01:11.38\00:01:15.21
It's nice to write some of
these things down, isn't it?
00:01:15.24\00:01:18.10
So get your
pencil and paper out.
00:01:18.13\00:01:19.50
Before we start
though, I know you have a text.
00:01:19.53\00:01:22.70
Always have your Bibles
00:01:22.73\00:01:24.88
because we'll always
use the Bible as our backup.
00:01:24.91\00:01:27.88
What's the text?
00:01:27.91\00:01:29.97
Well, I'm going to
say a little prayer
00:01:30.00\00:01:31.31
then I'm going to read
this text to the people.
00:01:31.34\00:01:32.94
What's the text?
00:01:32.97\00:01:33.94
This is going to be
in Deuteronomy 7:11.
00:01:33.95\00:01:39.57
Okay, let's have a prayer first.
00:01:39.60\00:01:40.95
Father, again we
thank you for your Word
00:01:40.98\00:01:44.01
and an opportunity to
share these health laws
00:01:44.04\00:01:47.92
with our viewing audience.
00:01:47.95\00:01:49.78
May you bless us
today with your Holy Spirit
00:01:49.81\00:01:51.85
in Jesus name, Amen.
00:01:51.88\00:01:53.93
Okay, so Deuteronomy 7:11 says
00:01:53.96\00:01:59.88
I'd like to just say
in the beginning here
00:02:06.96\00:02:09.21
that God has His eight
commandments of health.
00:02:09.24\00:02:12.07
Let's say it that way.
00:02:12.10\00:02:13.61
This
specifically in Deuteronomy 7
00:02:13.64\00:02:16.03
is talking about health.
00:02:16.06\00:02:17.50
And so He says, "If you
listen to these commandments,"
00:02:17.53\00:02:19.96
it says on verse 13
00:02:19.99\00:02:21.43
Verse 14 says
00:02:26.30\00:02:27.42
Then 15 says
00:02:30.49\00:02:31.70
Even in Deuteronomy 8:1 it says
00:02:41.30\00:02:43.12
God is trying to lead His people
into the Promised Land today.
00:02:52.11\00:02:55.04
I believe he has a
remnant - good word -
00:02:55.07\00:02:57.65
A remnant group
that He is elite.
00:02:57.68\00:03:01.43
God is trying to
teach us health principles.
00:03:01.46\00:03:04.91
I wanted to just touch
on a couple of little things
00:03:04.94\00:03:07.45
on nutrition and exercise
before we move to water.
00:03:07.48\00:03:09.99
Before you do that, for
those who are viewing, listen.
00:03:10.02\00:03:12.91
God has an
elite, He has a remnant.
00:03:12.94\00:03:15.24
That remnant is not that you're
better than somebody else.
00:03:15.27\00:03:19.41
God forbid because we aren't.
00:03:19.44\00:03:21.28
God loves us all the same.
00:03:21.31\00:03:22.72
He has unending
love for each one of us.
00:03:22.75\00:03:24.99
But He wants a people that will
surrender their total hearts.
00:03:25.02\00:03:29.77
He calls it His
elite, He's a remnant.
00:03:29.80\00:03:32.37
It says on Revelation
00:03:32.40\00:03:34.13
that they will follow Him
wherever He goes with no gile
00:03:34.16\00:03:37.33
which in the Greek it
means to catch with a hook.
00:03:37.36\00:03:39.13
In other words, they
don't try to say one thing.
00:03:39.16\00:03:41.89
They're not political,
they're not superficial.
00:03:41.92\00:03:43.72
He has those folks.
00:03:43.75\00:03:46.20
They loved soul so much,
they have a burden for souls
00:03:46.23\00:03:49.99
that they want
their clear minds.
00:03:50.02\00:03:51.34
They want these
things and that's the elite.
00:03:51.37\00:03:53.64
It said, "You can
be that elite person".
00:03:53.67\00:03:56.18
It's not like you can't
be because of your color,
00:03:56.21\00:03:59.43
because you're too
old or you're too young,
00:03:59.46\00:04:01.74
you're too tall
or you're too short.
00:04:01.77\00:04:03.64
It has nothing to do
with it, does it, Danny?
00:04:03.67\00:04:05.94
Right. No, it doesn't.
00:04:05.97\00:04:07.00
It's something that if you'll
surrender everything you have,
00:04:07.03\00:04:09.00
He's calling us right now.
00:04:09.03\00:04:10.42
The world's coming to a close
00:04:10.45\00:04:11.91
and we need to be
ready and surrender.
00:04:11.94\00:04:13.81
Then He has these people that
will be able to show that gospel
00:04:13.84\00:04:16.62
in such a clear way
00:04:16.65\00:04:18.18
that even the simple so
to speak will understand.
00:04:18.21\00:04:22.23
Exactly. It's a profound
message that God will put
00:04:22.26\00:04:25.35
in the hearts of men
and will be His instruments
00:04:25.38\00:04:28.03
that are going to finish the
work of the gospel in the earth.
00:04:28.06\00:04:30.16
I'm excited.
00:04:30.19\00:04:31.16
I want to be one
of those people too.
00:04:31.18\00:04:32.53
They're going to be healthy.
00:04:32.56\00:04:33.75
I believe they're going to
be following health principles.
00:04:33.78\00:04:36.00
But what I wanted to say
on nutrition today is that
00:04:36.03\00:04:38.60
I quoted McDougal and I quoted
00:04:38.63\00:04:40.70
this 25,000
Seventh Day Adventist story
00:04:40.73\00:04:43.96
and the World
Health Organization.
00:04:43.99\00:04:45.41
Today you have some more
information that's come out
00:04:45.44\00:04:48.98
with some leaders in the
pioneers in the area of health.
00:04:49.01\00:04:52.51
One is Caldwell Esselstyn.
00:04:52.54\00:04:54.50
He's an MD from
the Cleveland Clinic.
00:04:54.53\00:04:57.17
He took subjects - I
believe it was like 12 people
00:04:57.20\00:05:00.46
who had coronary artery disease.
00:05:00.49\00:05:03.23
Here's the beauty of
the whole plant-based diet.
00:05:03.26\00:05:06.68
He put him on it
for a year or so.
00:05:06.71\00:05:08.38
He found within a year or two
that you not only can prevent
00:05:08.41\00:05:14.35
coronary health
disease and heart attacks
00:05:14.38\00:05:16.68
but it reverses
coronary artery disease.
00:05:16.71\00:05:21.85
He had x-rays and it
showed a collapsed artery,
00:05:21.88\00:05:25.34
the blood flow was blocked,
00:05:25.37\00:05:27.21
and with the same person
he took x-rays a year later.
00:05:27.24\00:05:31.06
It was opened up, the
blood was flowing perfectly.
00:05:31.09\00:05:33.98
I said, "Man,
that's a great study".
00:05:34.01\00:05:35.92
It proved that a
high saturated fat,
00:05:35.95\00:05:41.24
cholesterol laid in diet of
animal foods blocked arteries.
00:05:41.27\00:05:45.50
But the plant-based
diet that God gave in Eden,
00:05:45.53\00:05:48.32
the plant-based
diet that Daniel chose
00:05:48.35\00:05:51.74
reversed advanced
arterial sclerosis.
00:05:51.77\00:05:54.93
Of course the Bible
says they were fearfully...
00:05:54.96\00:05:57.05
And wonderfully made.
00:05:57.08\00:05:58.67
So God has made or bodies
even after 6,000 years of sin,
00:05:58.70\00:06:02.97
according to the scriptures
that He's made our bodies
00:06:03.00\00:06:05.96
so wonderfully
and so fearfully made
00:06:05.99\00:06:07.80
that if we follow God's diet
00:06:07.83\00:06:10.31
because with my testimony
I didn't to begin with.
00:06:10.34\00:06:12.89
I'm 54 years old, I
have so much energy.
00:06:12.92\00:06:19.08
People ask me, "How do
you have so much energy?"
00:06:19.11\00:06:21.74
You must be wired
for 440 or 240, not 110.
00:06:21.77\00:06:25.28
It's because God has
given me that energy.
00:06:25.31\00:06:27.58
I know some people have
more energy than others.
00:06:27.61\00:06:29.91
But it's amazing
that if you trust in God,
00:06:29.94\00:06:32.71
He can actually
reverse these problems.
00:06:32.74\00:06:35.82
Okay, so nutrition we
just gave a little bit on.
00:06:35.85\00:06:38.41
Exercise is hugely important.
00:06:38.44\00:06:40.39
I tell people all the
time, if you would just eat
00:06:40.42\00:06:43.11
the whole plant-based diet
00:06:43.14\00:06:44.42
and get on a good
daily exercise program,
00:06:44.45\00:06:47.21
you would see a number
of your symptoms evaporate.
00:06:47.24\00:06:49.88
Exercise - walking, if that's
all you can do but we always...
00:06:49.91\00:06:54.19
I always say
aerobic and anaerobic.
00:06:54.22\00:06:57.36
BellaVita, our lifestyle
center, I have them walking
00:06:57.39\00:07:02.34
anywhere from one
to four miles a day.
00:07:02.37\00:07:04.57
They come back and they
spend about 30 to 40 minutes
00:07:04.60\00:07:08.70
on the weight machines.
00:07:08.73\00:07:10.24
I teach them that you
can isolate each muscle.
00:07:10.27\00:07:13.41
It builds bone density.
00:07:13.44\00:07:15.16
I like the
combination of the two.
00:07:15.19\00:07:18.14
So then we start off
and I just went and wrote
00:07:18.17\00:07:22.03
this little blog on Facebook.
00:07:22.06\00:07:23.89
I put, "Start out the morning
with 32 ounces of warm water
00:07:23.92\00:07:27.88
with the juice of one lemon.
00:07:27.91\00:07:29.81
I talked about that.
00:07:29.84\00:07:31.47
I said a lemon a day
may keep the doctor away.
00:07:31.50\00:07:33.72
Somewhat like the apple.
00:07:33.75\00:07:35.24
But I just put that on there.
00:07:35.27\00:07:37.42
I want to tell people
water is so important.
00:07:37.45\00:07:40.11
That's the liquid that God
gave us to keep us healthy.
00:07:40.14\00:07:45.31
That's the third.
00:07:45.34\00:07:47.77
That's what we're
talking about - it's water.
00:07:47.80\00:07:49.59
NEW.
00:07:49.62\00:07:51.57
We're 70% water, our
brains are 85% water.
00:07:51.60\00:07:55.15
Water transports nutrients.
00:07:55.18\00:07:57.22
Water takes away waste.
00:07:57.25\00:07:58.98
Water is very important
00:07:59.01\00:08:00.31
for intracellular
and extracellular fluid
00:08:00.34\00:08:03.43
in getting the
nutrients to cellular levels.
00:08:03.46\00:08:05.94
If we don't get enough water
we're not going to feel great
00:08:05.97\00:08:10.49
and we're going to get symptoms.
00:08:10.52\00:08:12.35
I like the book
Dr. Batmanghelidj wrote
00:08:12.38\00:08:15.49
called the Body's
Many Cries for Water.
00:08:15.52\00:08:17.53
People think that
thirst is the symptom
00:08:17.56\00:08:21.26
that you
experience to drink water.
00:08:21.29\00:08:24.02
He says that's near dehydration.
00:08:24.05\00:08:26.81
So you can have backache,
you can have joint pain.
00:08:26.84\00:08:30.49
You can have indigestion,
you can have a lack of energy.
00:08:30.52\00:08:33.93
Water is
critical for good health.
00:08:33.96\00:08:37.34
Water - from my understanding,
I know you know this
00:08:37.37\00:08:41.56
isn't it good for cleansing?
00:08:41.59\00:08:42.88
Absolutely.
00:08:42.91\00:08:44.60
They've proven
that even with grease,
00:08:44.63\00:08:48.47
something about water is...
00:08:48.50\00:08:50.65
It's a solvent.
00:08:50.68\00:08:52.03
It's one of the
best cleansers out there.
00:08:52.06\00:08:53.67
Well, that's what I
just put on Facebook.
00:08:53.70\00:08:55.01
I said the lemon and the water -
00:08:55.04\00:08:57.32
when you take it first
thing in the morning very warm,
00:08:57.35\00:09:00.48
your sphincters are open,
your cardiac, your pyloric.
00:09:00.51\00:09:03.53
The water will travel
right to the large intestine.
00:09:03.56\00:09:06.59
Many times it alleviates
the bowels for people.
00:09:06.62\00:09:09.35
The lemon's alkalinizing.
00:09:09.38\00:09:11.69
The lemon can purify and
cleanse the urinary tract
00:09:11.72\00:09:15.47
like you're talking about.
00:09:15.50\00:09:16.90
It can also kick start the bowel
00:09:16.93\00:09:19.03
but it's very
healing to the liver.
00:09:19.06\00:09:20.64
So I like at least a
quart in the morning.
00:09:20.67\00:09:22.99
That works very well.
00:09:23.02\00:09:24.71
You already got three
glasses of water in you
00:09:24.74\00:09:27.82
if you're figuring eight ounces.
00:09:27.85\00:09:29.44
With the audience,
what realistically...
00:09:29.47\00:09:32.40
I mean, I know
people have to grow.
00:09:32.43\00:09:33.84
I'm not doing this right now,
I'll be the first to admit it.
00:09:33.87\00:09:37.34
I still drink a lot of water
00:09:37.37\00:09:39.66
but when I was working
out more than I am right now.
00:09:39.69\00:09:42.89
I've started back
in a nice routine.
00:09:42.92\00:09:45.42
I love working out.
00:09:45.45\00:09:46.43
But I was drinking
about a gallon of water a day
00:09:46.46\00:09:48.73
which is probably
more than maybe I need to.
00:09:48.76\00:09:50.64
What would be normal for people?
00:09:50.67\00:09:53.37
There are a lot of people that
are not used to drinking water.
00:09:53.40\00:09:56.62
What would be good to start out?
00:09:56.65\00:09:57.82
I tell people
00:09:57.85\00:09:58.82
to try to shoot for six to
eight glasses of water a day.
00:09:58.83\00:10:01.53
Eight ounces or 16 ounces?
00:10:01.56\00:10:03.84
Eight ounce glasses of
water let's say or more.
00:10:03.87\00:10:06.56
But I tell people,
00:10:06.59\00:10:07.74
if you want to drink
more than a gallon, go ahead.
00:10:07.77\00:10:09.79
There's no rule that
you come and get too much
00:10:09.82\00:10:11.80
but it's necessary to
get the minimum amount.
00:10:11.83\00:10:15.22
Now, if
somebody weighs 98 pounds
00:10:15.25\00:10:18.34
while the person who weighs
250 pounds may need more fluid
00:10:18.37\00:10:22.03
because he's a larger person.
00:10:22.06\00:10:23.68
So water is
critical for good health
00:10:23.71\00:10:25.78
as is nutrition, as is exercise.
00:10:25.81\00:10:28.51
These health
commandments are linked together
00:10:28.54\00:10:30.67
just as God's moral law.
00:10:30.70\00:10:31.81
But we need to move on because
sunshine's the next big one.
00:10:31.84\00:10:35.24
I love doing sunshine.
00:10:35.27\00:10:36.86
In fact, I have...
00:10:36.89\00:10:40.07
Danny, that's
what you're here for.
00:10:40.10\00:10:41.72
Go.
00:10:41.75\00:10:43.30
All right, let me show you this.
00:10:43.33\00:10:44.71
When people come
to BellaVita, I'd say,
00:10:44.74\00:10:48.09
"So what's the sun good for?"
00:10:48.12\00:10:49.41
Let me ask you, what's
sunshine good for, Dwight?
00:10:49.44\00:10:51.36
Well, a lot of
people think it tans.
00:10:51.39\00:10:53.40
Tanning, okay.
00:10:53.43\00:10:55.79
Obviously, we need
sunshine for things to grow.
00:10:55.82\00:10:58.06
For things to grow, good.
00:10:58.09\00:10:59.74
If we had no sun, I
doubt we would sustain life.
00:10:59.77\00:11:05.16
Right.
00:11:05.19\00:11:06.55
If we didn't have sunshine which
with that brings in warmth,
00:11:06.58\00:11:09.15
everything would be freezing,
we couldn't grow anything.
00:11:09.18\00:11:12.42
Well, typically in BellaVita
when I ask that question,
00:11:12.45\00:11:15.13
I get Vitamin D and
some of the answers you gave.
00:11:15.16\00:11:18.74
I said, "I'm going
to give you four pages
00:11:18.77\00:11:20.61
on what sunshine
does for the body.
00:11:20.64\00:11:22.36
It does everything from
lowering blood sugar levels,
00:11:22.39\00:11:25.09
helping in depression,
00:11:25.12\00:11:26.32
helping lower blood
pressure, helping asthmatics.
00:11:26.35\00:11:29.27
It's an incredible doctor that
God has given us in the sky.
00:11:29.30\00:11:33.67
You think of the plants
taking in photosynthesis
00:11:33.70\00:11:36.39
and then they produce.
00:11:36.42\00:11:37.67
We eat the green plants
and we're getting chlorophyll
00:11:37.70\00:11:40.31
which is the healing power
of the sun through the plant.
00:11:40.34\00:11:44.10
So the sun is incredible as
a natural healer for the body.
00:11:44.13\00:11:49.60
It even increases the
number of white blood cells
00:11:49.63\00:11:52.96
that improve or
protect the body from disease.
00:11:52.99\00:11:56.74
This is why often people are
more likely to get colds and flu
00:11:56.77\00:12:00.53
during the winter months
instead of the summer months.
00:12:00.56\00:12:03.16
Like here in Michigan.
00:12:03.19\00:12:04.16
Yeah.
00:12:04.17\00:12:05.34
You get to live in California.
00:12:05.37\00:12:06.34
I did hear and it
brought to my mind
00:12:06.35\00:12:09.37
that sunshine is
certainly an aid for depression.
00:12:09.40\00:12:15.39
It might have changed now
but I know that I had statistics
00:12:15.42\00:12:19.84
in the Seattle
area in Washington.
00:12:19.87\00:12:22.20
In that area
where it rains a lot,
00:12:22.23\00:12:23.91
there is more depression there
because it's raining so much.
00:12:23.94\00:12:28.55
I was in that service in
there and I kept thinking,
00:12:28.58\00:12:32.64
"Is there ever any sunshine?"
00:12:32.67\00:12:34.53
Sometimes there are beautiful
days, we can see Mount Rainier
00:12:34.56\00:12:36.68
but obviously, sunshine
does make people feel happy.
00:12:36.71\00:12:39.96
It definitely does.
00:12:39.99\00:12:41.71
One thing I want to say too,
there's a big craze right now
00:12:41.74\00:12:44.21
in the vitamin industry
that we need more Vitamin D.
00:12:44.24\00:12:46.96
In fact, some doctors
are recommending temporarily
00:12:46.99\00:12:49.67
some people as many
as 50,000 IUs a day.
00:12:49.70\00:12:52.64
Now, I
supplement 5,000 IUs a day.
00:12:52.67\00:12:55.38
I actually had it checked.
00:12:55.41\00:12:56.88
I'm out in the sun a lot and I
was still towards a lower level.
00:12:56.91\00:12:59.99
They're finding that we
are not utilizing and absorbing
00:13:00.02\00:13:04.32
this necessary hormone
like nutrient like we should
00:13:04.35\00:13:07.84
and it is very
critical for the immune system.
00:13:07.87\00:13:10.76
It's not just for your
bones and absorption of calcium.
00:13:10.79\00:13:13.76
But let me tell you
something here about sunshine
00:13:13.79\00:13:16.37
that I also think
is very incredible.
00:13:16.40\00:13:18.62
Sunlight increases
the capacity of the blood
00:13:18.65\00:13:21.30
to carry more oxygen.
00:13:21.33\00:13:23.31
That's incredible.
00:13:23.34\00:13:24.54
Even a single
exposure to ultraviolet light
00:13:24.57\00:13:27.30
will greatly increase the
oxygen content of the blood.
00:13:27.33\00:13:30.62
Then another
interesting one on physiology.
00:13:30.65\00:13:33.64
When the pineal gland,
a small gland in the brain
00:13:33.67\00:13:36.52
receives light through the eyes,
00:13:36.55\00:13:38.11
it in turn benefits
the pituitary gland.
00:13:38.14\00:13:41.18
The pituitary gland
controls the hormone production
00:13:41.21\00:13:44.50
of other endocrine glands
00:13:44.53\00:13:46.14
such as the liver, the pancreas,
the thyroid, the adrenal glands.
00:13:46.17\00:13:49.86
Thus, by allowing
sunlight to enter the eye,
00:13:49.89\00:13:52.37
many of the body
functions are stimulated.
00:13:52.40\00:13:54.69
I've gotten the habit
not to just wear sunglasses
00:13:54.72\00:13:57.84
because it's cool.
00:13:57.87\00:13:58.97
I want some of that ultraviolet
light getting in through my eyes
00:13:59.00\00:14:03.10
and the pineal gland
affecting the pituitary
00:14:03.13\00:14:05.71
that's going to
affect the endocrine system.
00:14:05.74\00:14:08.25
I see a lot of people that wear
sunglasses, some for being cool.
00:14:08.28\00:14:14.78
But I think some of it,
they say that it bothers them.
00:14:14.81\00:14:17.56
Why would that?
00:14:17.59\00:14:19.13
Apparently, there may
be a health problem there.
00:14:19.16\00:14:21.49
We're not going to look right
into the sun but - two things.
00:14:21.52\00:14:26.37
Why is that may be a problem?
00:14:26.40\00:14:28.74
How can people get rid of that?
00:14:28.77\00:14:30.26
How much sun would somebody
need per day on an average?
00:14:30.29\00:14:34.68
I recommend that if somebody's
going to do sunbathing,
00:14:34.71\00:14:38.17
30 minutes per side.
00:14:38.20\00:14:39.85
That's all you basically need.
00:14:39.88\00:14:42.05
Expose as much of your
body as you can to the sun.
00:14:42.08\00:14:45.42
Wear short
sleeves, wear some shorts
00:14:45.45\00:14:48.55
in the privacy of your
backyard, do whatever you want.
00:14:48.58\00:14:52.05
But I think that people are so
accustomed to sunglasses today
00:14:52.08\00:14:55.86
that they seem so
sensitive to the light
00:14:55.89\00:14:58.87
because they're
dependent on this.
00:14:58.90\00:15:00.80
I don't look
directly in the light.
00:15:00.83\00:15:03.45
If I'm going to lay
on the beach all day long
00:15:03.48\00:15:06.25
and that sun's
beating at my face
00:15:06.28\00:15:07.69
then maybe I'll put
something on to guard my eyes.
00:15:07.72\00:15:09.81
But I think it's very important.
00:15:09.84\00:15:11.38
Let me add a couple more things.
00:15:11.41\00:15:12.52
Sunlight relaxes the
body, it calms the nerves,
00:15:12.55\00:15:15.90
and it increases adrenalin.
00:15:15.93\00:15:18.43
The relationship is not
just mental, it's physical
00:15:18.46\00:15:21.73
and both gastric and
even duodenal ulcer patients
00:15:21.76\00:15:25.18
have found to improve with
beneficial effects of sunlight.
00:15:25.21\00:15:28.74
It has an electrifying influence
00:15:28.77\00:15:30.86
on the mind and
the nervous system.
00:15:30.89\00:15:32.69
The sun also prevents and
counteracts mental depression.
00:15:32.72\00:15:36.20
The nerves of the brain
control the vital action
00:15:36.23\00:15:38.93
of every part of the body
and are soothed by sunlight
00:15:38.96\00:15:41.50
having a calming
effect on the nervous system.
00:15:41.53\00:15:44.25
So it helps diabetics.
00:15:44.28\00:15:45.85
It helps people
with hypertension.
00:15:45.88\00:15:47.44
It helps people with
stress and depression.
00:15:47.47\00:15:49.39
It helps people to
build their immune function.
00:15:49.42\00:15:51.82
It helps people that are
asthmatic and need respiration.
00:15:51.85\00:15:54.26
Bone mass because of
the Vitamin D absorption.
00:15:54.29\00:15:57.16
So you just don't
take it for granted.
00:15:57.19\00:15:59.75
As you're telling me about this
00:15:59.78\00:16:03.02
I was trying to parallel that
with Christ because sometimes
00:16:03.05\00:16:05.85
in the New
Testament, it doesn't just say
00:16:05.88\00:16:07.99
the Son of righteousness, S-O-N.
00:16:08.02\00:16:10.32
It says S-U-N.
00:16:10.35\00:16:11.49
Yet some people have
become sun worshippers
00:16:11.52\00:16:15.92
which obviously we shouldn't
be doing and we know that.
00:16:15.95\00:16:18.98
But the thing is the
sun does make us cheerful
00:16:19.01\00:16:22.13
and Jesus makes us cheerful.
00:16:22.16\00:16:23.57
What parallel
from Bible to Christ,
00:16:23.60\00:16:25.64
He's created
nature to represent Him.
00:16:25.67\00:16:28.42
Right, now think of this.
00:16:28.45\00:16:29.74
People come to BellaVita,
they're not feeling well.
00:16:29.77\00:16:31.90
They're not
following the laws of health.
00:16:31.93\00:16:33.46
Disease is caused by a
violation of the laws of health.
00:16:33.49\00:16:36.29
They're eating the
standard American diet.
00:16:36.32\00:16:38.04
They're not exercising.
00:16:38.07\00:16:39.15
They're drinking Coca-Cola's
00:16:39.18\00:16:40.53
and they're not
getting enough sunlight.
00:16:40.56\00:16:42.33
They're in artificial
light all the day long.
00:16:42.36\00:16:44.05
So think about - I get
them up in the morning,
00:16:44.08\00:16:46.29
I give them lemon and the
water, I take them outside
00:16:46.32\00:16:49.25
and do deep
breathing and stretching,
00:16:49.28\00:16:51.25
I take them on a walk and
the fresh air and the sunshine
00:16:51.28\00:16:54.09
and I look at them
and we have a prayer.
00:16:54.12\00:16:56.57
I said, "There, you
just practiced six of
00:16:56.60\00:16:58.23
God's natural doctors in the
first two hours at BellaVita.
00:16:58.26\00:17:03.82
So it doesn't take a long time.
00:17:03.85\00:17:05.56
It's free, it
doesn't take a long time.
00:17:05.59\00:17:07.04
You need to develop a
habit of doing it though.
00:17:07.07\00:17:10.13
If you don't exercise,
it's hard to go back and start.
00:17:10.16\00:17:13.30
But once you start
you feel so much better.
00:17:13.33\00:17:16.14
You don't ever want to stop.
00:17:16.17\00:17:17.53
So let's go to the next one.
00:17:17.56\00:17:19.36
Temperance.
00:17:19.39\00:17:20.39
That's a good one.
00:17:20.42\00:17:21.39
Now that we're
going to end on temperance
00:17:21.40\00:17:22.37
but we could talk a
whole time on temperance.
00:17:22.38\00:17:24.35
There's so much to
temperance, it's not just food.
00:17:24.38\00:17:27.41
What does temperance mean?
00:17:27.44\00:17:29.10
I like the
definition to abstain.
00:17:29.13\00:17:32.26
This isn't moderation.
00:17:32.29\00:17:33.65
In fact, I'm going to show
you a few scriptures in here
00:17:33.68\00:17:36.48
that temperance
is a Bible doctrine.
00:17:36.51\00:17:38.83
It's in the
letter of sanctification
00:17:38.86\00:17:41.03
in this book of Peter.
00:17:41.06\00:17:42.21
It's also one of
the fruits of the Spirit
00:17:42.24\00:17:44.16
and it precedes patience.
00:17:44.19\00:17:46.19
I heard someone say
that it's nearly impossible
00:17:46.22\00:17:49.94
for an impatient person
00:17:49.97\00:17:51.69
to be tempered or
exercise self control.
00:17:51.72\00:17:54.04
It's to abstain
entirely from things
00:17:54.07\00:17:57.88
that are harmful to the body
00:17:57.91\00:18:00.61
and use judiciously the things
that are helpful and good.
00:18:00.64\00:18:03.95
That means for me,
being a tempered person
00:18:03.98\00:18:07.23
I don't drink one
glass of wine a day
00:18:07.26\00:18:09.48
and I don't smoke a
couple of cigarettes.
00:18:09.51\00:18:12.08
I abstain entirely from things
that are harmful to my body
00:18:12.65\00:18:17.30
and it's not a legalistic thing.
00:18:17.33\00:18:19.21
To me, why do I want to
take a little bit of a substance
00:18:19.24\00:18:22.93
that's going to be addictive,
00:18:22.96\00:18:24.25
that's going to
kill your brain cells,
00:18:24.28\00:18:25.87
cause cirrhosis of the liver?
00:18:25.90\00:18:27.67
Who knows what
else, a waste of money.
00:18:27.70\00:18:30.04
Plus, from my understanding
that many times when they say
00:18:30.07\00:18:33.23
some of these could be
good for you like wine -
00:18:33.26\00:18:35.37
the grape in the wine
so just have the grape.
00:18:35.40\00:18:38.07
If we want something bad
enough we always seem to be
00:18:38.10\00:18:41.37
making the
mistake - not a mistake
00:18:41.40\00:18:43.36
but justify ourselves so we can
say... it's kind of good for me
00:18:43.39\00:18:46.89
People do that.
00:18:46.92\00:18:47.94
I'm going to give you
something in the Bible here
00:18:47.97\00:18:49.37
that's going to be challenging.
00:18:49.40\00:18:50.37
Okay.
00:18:50.38\00:18:51.61
Is that fair?
00:18:51.64\00:18:52.61
I don't know, we'll see.
00:18:52.62\00:18:53.85
Acts 24, I like this and this
is a story of Paul before Festus
00:18:53.88\00:19:01.69
then he goes before Felix.
00:19:01.72\00:19:03.61
I like what it
says here in Acts 24.
00:19:03.64\00:19:07.59
They're making
all these accusations
00:19:07.62\00:19:10.07
about the apostle Paul.
00:19:10.10\00:19:11.28
Why don't you read 24 and 25?
00:19:11.31\00:19:15.43
Okay, what I find interesting
here is the apostle Paul
00:19:37.64\00:19:41.45
when he's talking
to Felix about judgment
00:19:41.48\00:19:44.50
he just didn't talk about sin.
00:19:44.53\00:19:46.87
He talked about self control.
00:19:46.90\00:19:48.93
In the King James here,
he uses the word temperance.
00:19:48.96\00:19:52.24
I wrote down the Greek meaning
because I looked that up.
00:19:52.27\00:19:57.02
Yes, what does it say?
00:19:57.05\00:19:58.42
The Greek meaning is under
that self control or temperance
00:19:58.45\00:20:00.44
same thing but it's this,
00:20:00.47\00:20:01.82
the virtue of one who
masters his desires and passions
00:20:01.85\00:20:06.64
especially his sensual appetite.
00:20:06.67\00:20:09.77
Okay, sensual appetite.
00:20:09.80\00:20:11.52
All right, so we're
talking about appetite hunger?
00:20:11.55\00:20:14.75
Yeah.
00:20:14.78\00:20:15.75
We're talking
about sexual appetite.
00:20:15.76\00:20:17.20
All of it weighs in.
00:20:17.23\00:20:19.18
And they master that.
00:20:19.21\00:20:20.18
Yes they did.
00:20:20.19\00:20:21.26
Obviously - have a problem.
00:20:21.29\00:20:22.34
Let me just quickly
say in 1 Corinthian 9,
00:20:22.37\00:20:25.70
this is the Bible Alive,
00:20:25.73\00:20:27.69
So great self control.
00:20:34.64\00:20:36.30
As I said, Carl Lewis
won seven gold medals.
00:20:36.33\00:20:38.72
He had a great self
control and discipline
00:20:38.75\00:20:42.33
when he was training
to obtain the gold medal.
00:20:42.36\00:20:45.62
Now, here's the
heavy thing that I read
00:20:45.65\00:20:47.53
in the book called
Counsels and Diets and Food.
00:20:47.56\00:20:49.64
I came across this.
00:20:49.67\00:20:51.08
I wanted to just talk
about it in a minute here.
00:20:51.11\00:20:53.02
It says, "It is truly a sin
to violate the laws of our being
00:20:53.05\00:20:57.04
as it is to break
the Ten Commandments.
00:20:57.07\00:20:59.52
To do either is
to break God's laws.
00:20:59.55\00:21:02.55
Those who transgress the law of
God in their physical organism
00:21:02.58\00:21:05.58
will be inclined to violate the
law of God spoken upon Sinai.
00:21:05.61\00:21:09.70
Now, that's a heavy statement
but I want to just emphasize
00:21:09.73\00:21:13.77
God cannot change the
law of drinking water.
00:21:13.80\00:21:17.37
Yes.
00:21:17.40\00:21:18.37
He can't change the law that
you need sleep for good health.
00:21:18.38\00:21:21.63
He can't change the law
that you must eat or you'll die.
00:21:21.66\00:21:24.36
So these are as important.
00:21:24.39\00:21:26.49
Yes, they are.
00:21:26.52\00:21:27.76
As the Ten Commandments.
00:21:27.79\00:21:28.77
God wants us to be a
physical specimen to the world
00:21:28.80\00:21:33.12
not only speaking truth, but
living it out in their lives.
00:21:33.15\00:21:36.99
We're to glorify God in
our body and in our spirit
00:21:37.02\00:21:40.44
which are God's.
00:21:40.47\00:21:41.99
I think that's a
powerful statement
00:21:42.02\00:21:43.98
that you at home
just realize how important
00:21:44.01\00:21:47.23
these health laws are
00:21:47.26\00:21:48.75
to your well being
and to God who made you.
00:21:48.78\00:21:52.52
Just to add to that,
00:21:52.55\00:21:55.03
We've got to be taking
a break real quick here.
00:21:55.06\00:21:56.48
Parts of the
fruit of the Spirit.
00:21:56.51\00:21:58.79
Our kids learned the
scriptures song of that
00:21:58.82\00:22:02.12
but if you look up the fruits of
the Spirit, Galatians 5:22, 23,
00:22:02.15\00:22:06.11
one of those is
temperance or self control.
00:22:06.14\00:22:08.46
That's right.
00:22:08.49\00:22:09.55
That's the fruit of the Spirit.
00:22:09.58\00:22:10.61
It's all through the scriptures.
00:22:10.64\00:22:12.46
We want to be a
part of that, why?
00:22:12.49\00:22:15.31
Not because we're going
to work our way into heaven
00:22:15.34\00:22:18.76
but because we
love Jesus so much
00:22:18.79\00:22:21.43
we want to give him
everything not just spiritual,
00:22:21.46\00:22:24.51
but we want to give him
our physical and mental too.
00:22:24.54\00:22:28.05
I know that's what you want too.
00:22:28.08\00:22:30.46
Time goes so quickly.
00:22:30.49\00:22:32.23
We've got to take a break.
00:22:32.26\00:22:33.62
We're going to be
right back, don't go away.
00:22:33.65\00:22:36.71
We'll be right back.
00:22:36.74\00:22:38.42
God's church had
always had a Messenger.
00:23:23.28\00:23:25.57
A powerful voice
that convicts hearts,
00:23:25.60\00:23:28.46
guides minds,
and draws His people
00:23:28.49\00:23:31.38
to a closer
relationship with Jesus Christ.
00:23:31.41\00:23:34.19
You know their names.
00:23:34.22\00:23:36.57
Noah, the ark builder.
00:23:36.60\00:23:38.51
Moses, the law giver.
00:23:38.54\00:23:40.86
Daniel, the prophet.
00:23:40.89\00:23:43.18
Paul, the apostle.
00:23:43.21\00:23:45.20
John, the Revelator.
00:23:45.23\00:23:47.35
What about today?
00:23:47.38\00:23:49.25
Does God have a
Messenger for His people now?
00:23:49.28\00:23:52.61
Who can His people turn to
00:23:52.64\00:23:54.56
when fearful events
transpire in the world?
00:23:54.59\00:23:57.51
Now, you can
discover a last day revelation
00:23:57.54\00:24:00.95
of how God has lead in the
past, how He is leading today
00:24:00.98\00:24:05.24
and how He will
lead you into eternity.
00:24:05.27\00:24:08.15
Remnant Publications
presents The Testimonies.
00:24:08.18\00:24:11.74
All nine volumes on audio book.
00:24:11.77\00:24:16.34
You can have all these
in your daily devotions
00:25:53.25\00:25:55.85
to prepare you and your
family for the second coming
00:25:55.88\00:25:58.65
and to share
with friends in need.
00:25:58.68\00:26:01.09
Take it with you
as you walk in nature
00:26:01.12\00:26:03.30
or while in your car.
00:26:03.33\00:26:05.08
Be refreshed, be restored,
00:26:05.11\00:26:07.64
be inspired,
00:26:07.67\00:26:08.83
be equipped to face the future
with God's powerful message
00:26:08.86\00:26:13.51
of faith and hope for today.
00:26:13.54\00:26:15.93
I'm glad that you stayed
and I'm glad that you're back.
00:26:26.37\00:26:28.48
We're going to
wrap this up real quick.
00:26:28.51\00:26:30.91
Danny, we don't have much time
but we can end on temperance.
00:26:30.94\00:26:35.61
I just want to tell them real
quick that we've began on NEW,
00:26:35.64\00:26:41.93
nutrition, exercise, water.
00:26:41.96\00:26:43.24
We did sunshine and temperance
00:26:43.27\00:26:44.42
and perfect health comes
from perfect circulation.
00:26:44.45\00:26:47.11
Be temperant in the things that
you choose to put into your body
00:26:47.14\00:26:50.48
because you're going
to have better health
00:26:50.51\00:26:52.44
if you increase
blood circulation.
00:26:52.47\00:26:54.81
Sunshine can do it,
good nutrition can do it,
00:26:54.84\00:26:56.89
and exercise can do it.
00:26:56.92\00:26:58.27
So be temperant.
00:26:58.30\00:26:59.44
We went through NEWST,
we're going to go through ART.
00:26:59.47\00:27:05.66
ART is left.
00:27:05.69\00:27:07.53
So you're not going to
want to miss the next program.
00:27:07.56\00:27:09.89
I'm not sure when it will be
00:27:09.92\00:27:11.01
but make sure that
you learn these things.
00:27:11.04\00:27:14.66
I hope that you
wrote that down, NEWSTART
00:27:14.69\00:27:16.67
and you put those acronyms down.
00:27:16.70\00:27:18.32
If you didn't get
it then give us a call.
00:27:18.35\00:27:19.90
You have the
address or the phone number.
00:27:19.93\00:27:22.57
We want to help you to
make the Bible come alive.
00:27:22.60\00:27:25.74
Some of these very things are
vitally important to understand.
00:27:25.77\00:27:30.25
It's all through the scriptures.
00:27:30.28\00:27:31.34
We hope that we've helped you.
00:27:31.37\00:27:32.54
You know that you can
have a better way of life.
00:27:32.57\00:27:34.81
So don't put it off.
00:27:34.84\00:27:37.80
By working together,
00:27:37.83\00:27:38.85
1.7 million copies
of The Passion of Love
00:27:38.88\00:27:42.16
were distributed
around the country
00:27:42.19\00:27:43.73
resulting in an unprecedented
partnership with Walmart
00:27:43.76\00:27:47.32
that lead to over a
thousand Bible studies.
00:27:47.35\00:27:50.25
By working together,
00:27:50.28\00:27:51.88
over 6 million copies of The
Ten Commandments Twice Removed
00:27:51.91\00:27:55.76
were shared around the world
00:27:55.79\00:27:57.29
resulting in
more than 20 churches
00:27:57.32\00:27:59.32
now keeping the Bible Sabbath.
00:27:59.35\00:28:01.28
By working together,
00:28:01.31\00:28:02.86
we have shipped
almost a million Bibles
00:28:02.89\00:28:05.63
to spiritually
thirsty Christians in Africa
00:28:05.66\00:28:08.04
touching the lives of 20
million people for Christ.
00:28:08.07\00:28:11.19
Working together is what
allows Remnant Publications
00:28:11.22\00:28:15.76
to spread truth-filled
books around the world
00:28:15.79\00:28:18.69
to hasten the Lord's coming.
00:28:18.72\00:28:20.73
Will you join
us in that mission?
00:28:20.76\00:28:22.99
Will you help us
reach the world for Jesus
00:28:23.02\00:28:26.18
one book at a time?
00:28:26.21\00:28:28.20
