? (Theme Song) ?
? Jesus is worthy ?
00:00:01.36\00:00:11.66
? oh yes, he's worthy
? ? worthy of all... ?
00:00:11.66\00:00:18.93
? all the praise ? ? (Music) ?
00:00:18.93\00:00:21.96
Pastor Byrd: Because
of sin we have death.
00:00:21.96\00:00:26.16
If there were no sin,
there would be no death.
00:00:26.16\00:00:31.60
In heaven there will be no sin.
00:00:31.60\00:00:33.03
And so, because there
will be no sin in heaven,
00:00:33.03\00:00:36.66
there will be no death.
00:00:36.66\00:00:37.66
There will be no death
among human life or animal life,
00:00:37.66\00:00:41.90
which means, ain't
going to be no McDonald's
00:00:41.90\00:00:43.90
in heaven.
00:00:43.90\00:00:44.90
Come on, say Amen.
00:00:44.90\00:00:46.90
Now remember, before
there was sin God said,
00:00:46.90\00:00:52.66
in Genesis 1, that
he gave every green herb
00:00:52.66\00:00:56.40
yielding seed that was
supposed to be for meat.
00:00:56.40\00:01:00.40
You following what
I'm saying, everybody?
00:01:00.40\00:01:02.80
So, when you get to heaven,
00:01:02.80\00:01:04.80
because there is no
sin and there is no death,
00:01:04.80\00:01:06.80
what you are accustomed to
eating down here is not going to
00:01:06.80\00:01:08.80
be your diet in heaven.
00:01:08.80\00:01:09.80
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.30
And so, since
we're trying to get ready
00:01:11.30\00:01:13.30
for heaven down here,
sometime we've got to begin
00:01:13.30\00:01:17.73
practicing on earth what we're
going to being practicing in
00:01:17.73\00:01:24.13
heaven.
00:01:24.13\00:01:25.13
Are you hearing what
I'm saying, everybody?
00:01:25.13\00:01:29.80
Well, let's get the list.
00:01:29.80\00:01:32.76

00:02:04.40\00:02:06.40
that caffeine.
00:02:06.40\00:02:07.40
You know, you
leave all that Coke and
00:02:07.40\00:02:09.40
Pepsi alone.
00:02:09.40\00:02:10.40
It's not good for you.
00:02:10.40\00:02:11.40
Amen, somebody.
00:02:11.40\00:02:13.40
You need to drink Sprite.
00:02:13.40\00:02:14.40
I can't get no
Amens in this place.
00:02:14.40\00:02:16.40
(Aud: Amen.) All right.
00:02:16.40\00:02:17.50
Foods that we've go to avoid.

00:02:41.23\00:02:45.56
I said snake, yes.
00:02:45.56\00:02:47.56
Somebody said snake
tastes like chicken.
00:02:47.56\00:02:49.56
I don't know and I
ain't trying to find out.
00:02:49.56\00:02:51.56

00:02:51.56\00:02:53.56

00:03:31.43\00:03:35.43
Hog lard or any of these
grease made with hog fat,
00:03:35.43\00:03:38.76
leave it alone.
00:03:38.76\00:03:39.76
The beer, the whiskey,
00:03:39.76\00:03:41.76
the wines, and you
leave that caffeine
00:03:41.76\00:03:43.76
alone.
00:03:43.76\00:03:44.76
I know you don't
like to hear that,
00:03:44.76\00:03:46.76
but I'm going to
preach it anyhow.
00:03:46.76\00:03:49.60
Those who persist in eating all
this stuff will burn when Jesus
00:03:49.60\00:03:52.60
comes.
00:03:52.60\00:03:53.60
Pastor, how do you know?
00:03:53.60\00:03:55.60
Go to Isaiah 66:15.
00:03:55.60\00:03:56.60
Know what you believe,
know why you believe it,
00:03:56.60\00:04:04.03
and know where it's found.
00:04:04.03\00:04:08.53
Isaiah 66:15, the
Word of God says to us
00:04:08.53\00:04:12.80
tonight: "For, behold,
00:04:12.80\00:04:14.80
the Lord will come with fire,
and with his chariots like a
00:04:14.80\00:04:17.16
whirlwind, to
render his anger with fury,
00:04:17.16\00:04:20.00
and his rebuke
with flames of fire.
00:04:20.00\00:04:22.50
For by fire and by his sword
will the Lord plead with all
00:04:22.50\00:04:26.06
flesh: and the slain of
the Lord shall be" what,
00:04:26.06\00:04:29.60
everybody?
00:04:29.60\00:04:30.60
(Aud: Many.) "They
that sanctify themselves,
00:04:30.60\00:04:33.76
and purify themselves in the
gardens behind one tree in the
00:04:33.76\00:04:37.76
midst, eating swine's flesh,
00:04:37.76\00:04:41.13
and the abomination, and
the mouse shall be consumed
00:04:41.13\00:04:51.76
together, saith
the Lord." Repeat after
00:04:51.76\00:04:57.63
me.
00:04:57.63\00:04:58.63
This is my body.
00:04:58.63\00:05:01.20
God's holy temple.
00:05:01.20\00:05:03.10
I've been bought with a
price, and I glorify him.
00:05:03.10\00:05:07.86
Now, you're
sitting out there saying,
00:05:07.86\00:05:10.30
oh, man,
00:05:10.30\00:05:11.43
this is tough.
00:05:11.43\00:05:12.16
But in your heart of hearts you
know what we're preaching in the
00:05:12.16\00:05:13.60
Word of God.
00:05:13.60\00:05:14.26
You know it's the truth.
00:05:14.26\00:05:14.96
And you know, somebody,
00:05:14.96\00:05:16.10
you've been out there
saying for a long time,
00:05:16.10\00:05:17.40
I need to get off cigarettes.
00:05:17.40\00:05:18.20
Somebody, you've
been saying for a while,
00:05:18.20\00:05:19.63
I need to get off that liquor.
00:05:19.63\00:05:20.33
I need to get off that beer.
00:05:20.33\00:05:21.40
I need to leave
that stuff behind.
00:05:21.40\00:05:24.13
I need to leave
pork and pig alone.
00:05:24.13\00:05:25.33
Somebody, you're
been standing up here,
00:05:25.33\00:05:26.70
God brought you to
this revival to remind you.
00:05:26.70\00:05:28.33
You've got to let it go.
00:05:28.33\00:05:28.83
And that you can do all
things through Christ Jesus,
00:05:28.83\00:05:33.23
which strengtheneth me.
00:05:33.23\00:05:35.00
Come on, say Amen.
00:05:35.00\00:05:36.20
All right.
00:05:36.20\00:05:36.73
So save your paper and
put it on your refrigerator.
00:05:36.73\00:05:38.26
Come on, say Amen.
00:05:38.26\00:05:39.93
Now, you want some more?
00:05:39.93\00:05:42.43
(Aud: Yes) All
right, let's get some more.
00:05:42.43\00:05:44.10
What you put in your
body, and this is a hot potato,
00:05:44.10\00:05:55.00
but I'm gonna preach it,
what you put in your body.
00:05:55.00\00:06:01.60
Now let's go to what
you put on your body.
00:06:01.60\00:06:04.76
Getting quiet in here now.
00:06:04.76\00:06:09.23
Oh, Pastor Byrd's going there,
00:06:09.23\00:06:14.00
yes.
00:06:14.00\00:06:16.03
Look at Pastor Byrd.
00:06:16.03\00:06:17.03
Got a beautiful wife.
00:06:17.03\00:06:19.90
Who said Amen too loud?
00:06:24.13\00:06:25.30
I'm trying to figure out who's
trying to check out my wife.
00:06:25.30\00:06:31.60
Now, you'll notice,
00:06:31.60\00:06:33.60
and this is not
to look at anybody,
00:06:33.60\00:06:35.60
this is interactive,
not to look at anybody,
00:06:35.60\00:06:37.60
because we don't do that.
00:06:37.60\00:06:38.66
We recognize here the
ground is level at the cross.
00:06:38.66\00:06:42.03
No big I's, no little you's.
00:06:42.03\00:06:44.03
We're not here to point
at people and look at people.
00:06:44.03\00:06:46.03
And no need of people getting
mad and upset what I'm going to
00:06:46.03\00:06:48.03
say.
00:06:48.03\00:06:50.03
You'll notice about Pastor Byrd,
some of you've come in and you
00:06:51.66\00:06:53.86
look at me, and say,
00:06:53.86\00:06:55.86
is he really married?
00:06:55.86\00:06:56.86
Yes, I am really married.
00:06:56.86\00:06:58.86
That's my wife, we
have two beautiful children.
00:06:58.86\00:07:04.00
(Aud: Amen.) Amen, Amen.
00:07:04.00\00:07:06.00
You say, but Pastor,
00:07:06.00\00:07:08.00
I don't see any rings on you.
00:07:08.00\00:07:09.00
I don't see any jewelry on you.
00:07:09.00\00:07:10.00
I don't see any earrings on you.
00:07:10.00\00:07:11.00
I don't see any
necklaces on you.
00:07:11.00\00:07:13.00
Come on, say Amen.
00:07:13.00\00:07:15.00
You've been looking
at me for two weeks.
00:07:15.00\00:07:17.00
You don't see it.
00:07:17.00\00:07:18.76
Let me tell you why Pastor Byrd
00:07:18.76\00:07:20.76
refrains from that.
00:07:25.00\00:07:31.00
I'm God's temple.
00:07:31.00\00:07:33.00
When people look at me on the
outside I want them to know that
00:07:34.70\00:07:42.26
something's
going on on the inside.
00:07:42.26\00:07:44.93
The fact that
I'm a child of God,
00:07:44.93\00:07:49.13
this is Pastor Byrd now,
the fact that I'm a child of
00:07:49.13\00:07:52.36
God, if you see me walking down
00:07:52.36\00:07:54.36
University, if you
see me walking down the
00:07:54.36\00:07:56.36
Parkway, not just
when I'm standing up
00:07:56.36\00:07:58.36
here preaching, but
when you see me out there,
00:07:58.36\00:08:00.43
you should know I'm a child of
God because the greatest sermon
00:08:00.43\00:08:03.13
ever preached is not
the one from this pulpit.
00:08:03.13\00:08:07.50
But the greatest sermon ever
preached is the one that's lived
00:08:07.50\00:08:10.10
when I walk up and down
the street each and every day.
00:08:10.10\00:08:13.53
And so when you see me,
because I'm a child of God and
00:08:13.53\00:08:19.60
I'm not drawing
attention to myself,
00:08:19.60\00:08:23.03
there is a difference in my
modesty and my adornment because
00:08:23.03\00:08:26.90
I'm a child of God.
00:08:26.90\00:08:27.90
Because I just
believe what Jesus said,
00:08:27.90\00:08:29.90
let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good
00:08:29.90\00:08:34.33
works and glorify your
Father which is in heaven.
00:08:34.33\00:08:37.53
So for Pastor Byrd, I'm
not here to glorify myself
00:08:37.53\00:08:40.66
with costly array
and with costly jewels,
00:08:42.66\00:08:45.36
because my body is God's temple.
00:08:45.36\00:08:47.76
The chosen
generation, a royal priesthood,
00:08:50.80\00:08:55.93
that God has called
out of darkness to his
00:08:55.93\00:08:57.33
marvelous light-now,
Done a lot of study on this.
00:08:57.33\00:08:59.66
Lot of opinion
out there about this.
00:08:59.66\00:09:01.26
A lot of people were
convicted, Pastor Byrd,
00:09:01.26\00:09:03.33
because everything
I preach and teach,
00:09:03.33\00:09:04.33
I can't preach and
teach based on tradition,
00:09:04.33\00:09:06.63
because if I preach and teach
everything based on tradition
00:09:06.63\00:09:11.53
then I am guilty of some of
the very same things that some
00:09:11.53\00:09:14.40
others are struggling with,
doing things out of tradition.
00:09:14.40\00:09:17.86
So I have to study the
Word of God and say, Lord,
00:09:17.86\00:09:22.73
show me from your
Scripture the sabbath.
00:09:22.73\00:09:25.46
Because God, just
because Mama did it,
00:09:25.46\00:09:28.16
Grandmama did it, Great Grandma,
00:09:28.16\00:09:30.16
my Great Grandmama did
it, that doesn't mean it's
00:09:30.16\00:09:32.16
necessarily right.
00:09:32.16\00:09:33.16
I've got to study
and know it for myself.
00:09:33.16\00:09:36.60
So I have to take the
Bible and learn the Sabbath.
00:09:38.30\00:09:41.63
Some of you, you looked at me,
00:09:41.63\00:09:43.63
you say, you really know
00:09:43.63\00:09:45.63
that Sabbath thing.
00:09:45.63\00:09:46.63
You don't need any notes.
00:09:46.63\00:09:47.63
Because I had to
study it for myself.
00:09:47.63\00:09:49.63
You can't preach it with passion
if you haven't studied it for
00:09:49.63\00:09:51.63
yourself.
00:09:51.63\00:09:52.63
And so what
convicted me on this,
00:09:52.63\00:09:56.10
what I put on my body?
00:09:56.10\00:09:58.10
Went to the Book of Revelation
and I began to study Revelation,
00:10:00.16\00:10:07.13
Chapter 12.
00:10:07.13\00:10:11.20
And I began to
look at Revelation,
00:10:11.20\00:10:15.36
Chapter 12, and I
began to study Bible
00:10:15.36\00:10:17.96
prophecy and I recognized
that a woman in Bible prophecy
00:10:17.96\00:10:22.63
represents a church.
00:10:22.63\00:10:24.63
And there were characteristics
in Revelation 12 about this
00:10:28.46\00:10:31.13
woman that
represent God's true church.
00:10:31.13\00:10:37.40
And I kept reading Revelation
and then I went to Revelation,
00:10:37.40\00:10:40.33
Chapter 17, and
there was another woman.
00:10:40.33\00:10:45.40
And a woman, again,
00:10:45.40\00:10:47.40
in Bible prophecy
represents a church.
00:10:47.40\00:10:50.63
And so I began to look at this
woman and the different things
00:10:50.63\00:10:53.00
that described this
woman, a costly array,
00:10:53.00\00:10:55.66
jewels, decked out
in all this kind of
00:10:55.66\00:10:57.70
stuff, and I
began to think and the
00:10:57.70\00:10:59.70
Holy Spirit began to
impress upon me and say,
00:10:59.70\00:11:01.76
listen, if you're
trying to depict the
00:11:01.76\00:11:03.80
woman of Revelation 12 and
not the woman of Revelation 17,
00:11:03.80\00:11:09.16
should not your outward and your
inward symbolize and depict the
00:11:09.16\00:11:14.80
Revelation 12 woman,
because that represents God's
00:11:14.80\00:11:21.23
true church.
00:11:21.23\00:11:23.06
And I became convicted on that.
00:11:23.06\00:11:25.93
I became convicted.
00:11:25.93\00:11:33.56
Lord, I've got to be willing in
00:11:33.56\00:11:39.13
whatever I do that I'm willing
to give up any and everything
00:11:39.13\00:11:43.76
for your cause.
00:11:43.76\00:11:49.76
This is my body,
00:11:52.03\00:11:54.03
God's holy temple.
00:11:55.43\00:11:57.43
I've been bought with a price,
00:11:58.96\00:12:01.03
and I glorify him.
00:12:03.40\00:12:07.56
In what I put in my
body, what I put on my body,
00:12:07.56\00:12:14.96
and then what you let
other people do to your body.
00:12:18.00\00:12:23.10
Being a Christian and a follower
of Christ is more than just what
00:12:34.60\00:12:39.83
day you go to church on.
00:12:39.83\00:12:45.53
It's the
lifestyle that you live.
00:12:45.53\00:12:49.33
You all ain't going to get
this preaching from everywhere
00:12:49.33\00:12:55.10
anymore.
00:12:55.10\00:12:56.10
Because he just stepped on toes.
00:12:56.10\00:12:57.10
It's not popular and
people don't like all this.
00:12:57.10\00:12:59.16
But I'm going to call
it and tell it like it is.
00:12:59.16\00:13:02.33
And when you fall in
love with the Lord Jesus,
00:13:03.63\00:13:06.53
when you fall--I'm talking
about fall in love with Jesus,
00:13:06.53\00:13:10.10
not in love with yourself,
but in love with--Lord,
00:13:10.10\00:13:16.40
whatever you want me to
do, wherever you want me to go,
00:13:16.40\00:13:18.50
however you want me to be,
it's my desire to be just as you
00:13:18.50\00:13:21.00
would have me to be.
00:13:21.00\00:13:23.10
What I put in my body,
what I put on my body and what I
00:13:23.10\00:13:25.60
let people do to my body.
00:13:25.60\00:13:28.20
The Bible says in Exodus 20:14,
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
00:13:28.20\00:13:33.86
Now, I don't
care what faith group
00:13:33.86\00:13:37.76
you were brought up
in, if you're Catholic,
00:13:37.76\00:13:40.23
if you're Baptist,
if you're Lutheran,
00:13:40.23\00:13:42.66
Methodist, Presbyterian,
00:13:42.66\00:13:44.66
non-denominational,
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:13:44.66\00:13:46.96
years ago, if you
lived with somebody and
00:13:46.96\00:13:49.93
you weren't
married, it was wrong.
00:13:49.93\00:13:52.93
Co-habitation, adultery,
00:13:57.63\00:14:00.13
shacking, fornication,
00:14:00.13\00:14:02.13
whatever you want to call
it, it has gotten out of control
00:14:02.13\00:14:09.23
among the people of God.
00:14:09.23\00:14:10.56
Oh, you all don't like that.
00:14:10.56\00:14:14.76
I'm sorry.
00:14:14.76\00:14:16.76
It's gotten out of control.
00:14:18.26\00:14:20.96
God is not pleased.
00:14:20.96\00:14:23.80
Too many people are driving
cars before they buy cars.
00:14:23.80\00:14:31.36
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:14:31.36\00:14:36.03
Now that's the best and the
most kosher way I can say it,
00:14:36.03\00:14:38.30
but it's the way
you understand it.
00:14:38.30\00:14:40.60
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:14:40.60\00:14:44.63
All this what you let
people do to your body, stop it.
00:14:44.63\00:14:48.70
All this what you
do to your own body,
00:14:48.70\00:14:51.23
stop it.
00:14:51.23\00:14:52.23
(Aud: Amen.) Your
body is God's temple.
00:14:52.23\00:14:57.76
Walk like a
king, talk like a king,
00:14:57.76\00:15:02.56
act like a king,
walk like a queen,
00:15:02.56\00:15:07.06
act like a queen,
talk like a queen,
00:15:07.06\00:15:10.76
and don't let anybody treat
you other than a king or queen.
00:15:10.76\00:15:14.63
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:15:14.63\00:15:15.73
(applause) Somebody,
you're going to leave here
00:15:15.73\00:15:22.46
tonight, you're
going to get that call on
00:15:22.46\00:15:26.20
the cell phone.
00:15:26.20\00:15:27.20
Now, you're going to tell them,
00:15:27.20\00:15:29.70
in the name of Jesus
I don't do that no more.
00:15:29.70\00:15:34.93
(applause) I know
that was a double negative.
00:15:34.93\00:15:40.13
I know I'm in an
academic environment.
00:15:40.13\00:15:42.13
I had to say it
for you to understand.
00:15:42.13\00:15:44.13
I don't do that no mo'.
00:15:44.13\00:15:46.40
I don't go there anymore.
00:15:46.40\00:15:48.86
I don't behave
like that anymore.
00:15:48.86\00:15:51.33
This is my body,
God's holy temple.
00:15:51.33\00:15:56.03
I've been bought with a
price, and I glorify him.
00:15:56.03\00:16:01.43
I glorify him in
what I put in my body,
00:16:01.43\00:16:05.33
I glorify him in
what I put on my body,
00:16:05.33\00:16:09.06
and I glorify him with
what I let happen to my body,
00:16:09.06\00:16:12.60
whether therefore ye eat
or drink or whatsoever ye do,
00:16:12.60\00:16:19.30
do all to the glory of God.
00:16:19.30\00:16:22.53
God is coming back for a
people without spot or wrinkle.
00:16:22.53\00:16:27.80
God is coming back for people
who call sin by its right name.
00:16:27.80\00:16:35.63
Though the heavens fall
yet will I trust in him.
00:16:35.63\00:16:42.96
So this is my body.
00:16:42.96\00:16:44.96
God's holy temple.
00:16:46.50\00:16:47.50
I've been bought with a
price, and I glorify him.
00:16:47.50\00:16:55.23
For those who are visiting,
I went to school right here on
00:16:55.23\00:17:01.53
this campus.
00:17:01.53\00:17:02.53
The Lord has allowed me to come
back to serve in this part of
00:17:02.53\00:17:11.06
God's vineyard.
00:17:11.06\00:17:12.70
When I was here
there was a preacher
00:17:12.70\00:17:17.66
who used to sing a song
that reminds me of what we're
00:17:17.66\00:17:24.13
dealing with tonight.
00:17:24.13\00:17:25.50
He still sings this song.
00:17:25.50\00:17:29.03
Some want a crown,
00:17:31.96\00:17:34.03
but they don't
want to bear a cross.
00:17:36.60\00:17:41.90
But it takes
everything to serve. Lord, it
00:17:41.90\00:17:48.13
takes your hand, your head,
00:17:48.13\00:17:55.90
your feet, lest you fall.
00:17:55.90\00:18:00.66
It takes full
surrender to serve the Lord.
00:18:01.73\00:18:09.76
And let me give you
some good news tonight.
00:18:09.76\00:18:15.46
Serving the Lord
will pay off after awhile.
00:18:32.06\00:18:39.63
Serving the Lord is
going to pay off after awhile.
00:18:39.63\00:18:43.86
Sometimes when we serve God and
we are in this Christian walk
00:18:43.86\00:18:47.56
and in this Christian
journey it seems tough.
00:18:47.56\00:18:51.70
But I'm a witness,
serving the Lord is going
00:18:51.70\00:18:59.43
to pay off.
00:18:59.43\00:19:01.80
You'll get talked
about, you'll get criticized,
00:19:01.80\00:19:05.96
people will make up all
manner of evil against you.
00:19:05.96\00:19:09.10
But serving the Lord
will pay off after awhile.
00:19:09.10\00:19:18.70
Because all Pastor Byrd
wants, when Jesus comes breaking
00:19:18.70\00:19:27.83
through the clouds,
at the end of the day,
00:19:27.83\00:19:32.56
ain't about this
position, that position,
00:19:32.56\00:19:34.80
where you're going.
00:19:34.80\00:19:35.53
At the end of the
day for Carlton Byrd,
00:19:35.53\00:19:39.90
because I understand
the older folk better now,
00:19:39.90\00:19:43.20
because when you live life and
you go through some experiences,
00:19:43.20\00:19:45.73
this stuff don't mean nothing.
00:19:45.73\00:19:52.03
But all I want my
Jesus to say, Carlton Byrd,
00:19:52.03\00:19:57.10
well done.
00:19:57.10\00:19:59.10
Thou has been
faithful over a few things,
00:20:00.20\00:20:06.50
I will make thee
ruler over many things.
00:20:06.50\00:20:09.30
Let me close with
this part before I go to
00:20:09.30\00:20:10.93
the screen.
00:20:10.93\00:20:12.20
Jesus died.
00:20:12.20\00:20:18.36
This is gospel of simplicity.
00:20:18.36\00:20:20.23
He died, all he
wants us to do is live.
00:20:20.23\00:20:22.23
That's it.
00:20:22.23\00:20:23.23
He died, all he
wants us to do is to live
00:20:23.23\00:20:26.53
for him.
00:20:26.53\00:20:27.80
He went to
Calvary, hung on Calvary,
00:20:27.80\00:20:32.23
died on Calvary,
laid resting in the grave,
00:20:32.23\00:20:37.40
got up on the third appointed
day and all he asks of us is to
00:20:37.40\00:20:41.16
live for him.
00:20:41.16\00:20:42.16
When we get to heaven because we
00:20:42.16\00:20:48.16
have lived for him,
we'll be able to say,
00:20:50.40\00:20:55.06
it was cheap enough.
00:20:55.06\00:20:57.30
(Aud: Hallelujah.)
That it was worth it all.
00:20:57.30\00:21:03.93
When we see
Jesus and you and me,
00:21:03.93\00:21:09.96
we are changed in a moment.
00:21:09.96\00:21:11.63
In the twinkling of any eye.
00:21:11.63\00:21:14.40
When this mortal
puts on immortality,
00:21:14.40\00:21:17.40
when this corruptible
puts on incorruptibility,
00:21:17.40\00:21:19.96
when no longer
do I think the same,
00:21:19.96\00:21:22.50
no longer I walk the
same, no longer I look the same,
00:21:22.50\00:21:24.86
it will be worth it all.
00:21:24.86\00:21:26.86
How dare you live life how
you want to live it and think,
00:21:31.26\00:21:38.13
well the Lord knows my heart.
00:21:38.13\00:21:40.96
If you're going to
show up at the pearly gates,
00:21:40.96\00:21:44.26
let me say something
I've learned in marriage.
00:21:44.26\00:21:46.90
My wife and I, this
year we'll be married 15
00:21:46.90\00:21:50.13
years.
00:21:50.13\00:21:51.13
Go on and clap.
00:21:51.13\00:21:52.13
That's good, we
married 15 years.
00:21:52.13\00:21:54.13
One thing I have
learned in marriage,
00:21:54.13\00:21:57.53
I can love my wife how I
think she ought to be loved,
00:21:59.33\00:22:07.53
but if I don't love my wife in
the way she wants to be loved,
00:22:07.53\00:22:15.10
then we've got a problem.
00:22:15.10\00:22:16.70
I can in my mind
think I'm doing this right,
00:22:16.70\00:22:19.36
I'm doing that
right, I'm showing my love.
00:22:19.36\00:22:21.36
But if I don't love Danielle
the way she wants to be loved,
00:22:21.36\00:22:25.50
all is for naught.
00:22:25.50\00:22:26.63
She can say, yeah,
00:22:26.63\00:22:29.46
you're trying but you're not
loving me the way I want to be
00:22:29.46\00:22:32.86
loved.
00:22:32.86\00:22:33.86
I've learned that in 15 years.
00:22:33.86\00:22:35.76
Love her the way she wants.
00:22:35.76\00:22:37.76
Not the way I want to be loved,
not the way I think she wants me
00:22:37.76\00:22:40.93
to love her, but the
way she wants me to love
00:22:40.93\00:22:43.86
her.
00:22:43.86\00:22:44.86
And so she tells me,
this is how I want you to love
00:22:44.86\00:22:47.76
me.
00:22:47.76\00:22:48.76
Through word, through action.
00:22:48.76\00:22:50.96
I've learned.
00:22:50.96\00:22:51.96
I know how my
wife likes to be loved.
00:22:51.96\00:22:54.06
I know how she
wants to be loved.
00:22:54.06\00:22:56.06
The same is true with God.
00:22:56.06\00:22:58.86
You can't love God the
way you want to love God.
00:22:58.86\00:23:02.36
You've got to love God
the way God wants to be loved.
00:23:02.36\00:23:11.66
Well, God,
00:23:11.66\00:23:13.66
I did this, God I did that.
00:23:13.66\00:23:15.66
And God say, okay,
00:23:15.66\00:23:17.66
I hear all that, but
that's not what I said.
00:23:17.66\00:23:19.66
You're not loving me the
way I want you to love me.
00:23:19.66\00:23:23.46
He said, if you love me keep my
00:23:23.46\00:23:30.46
commandments.
00:23:33.93\00:23:35.93
I love the Lord.
00:23:41.20\00:23:43.20
Love me some Jesus.
00:23:44.26\00:23:45.56
And I won't take that back,
because he's been so good to me.
00:23:45.56\00:23:51.70
I'm even to the
point in my life,
00:23:51.70\00:23:53.03
you know, he says,
00:23:53.03\00:23:53.86
keep the Sabbath.
00:23:53.86\00:23:54.60
Lord, I'm keeping the Sabbath.
00:23:54.60\00:23:55.46
Stay off that pork stuff.
00:23:55.46\00:23:56.36
That pork.
00:23:56.36\00:23:56.83
Don't drink, don't drink.
00:23:56.83\00:23:58.20
Lord, I'm going
to love you the way
00:23:58.20\00:23:59.20
you told me to love you.
00:23:59.20\00:24:00.56
And guess what, you all?
00:24:00.56\00:24:02.66
If loving the Lord is wrong,
then I don't want to be right.
00:24:02.66\00:24:04.80
Sanctify them through thy truth.
00:24:04.80\00:24:09.20
Thy Word is truth.
00:24:09.20\00:24:14.20
What?
00:24:14.20\00:24:14.50
Know ye not that your body's the
temple of the Holy Ghost which
00:24:14.50\00:24:16.40
is in you.
00:24:16.40\00:24:17.36
Which ye have of God
and ye are not your own.
00:24:17.36\00:24:19.40
For ye are bought
with the what, everybody?
00:24:19.40\00:24:21.40
(Aud: Price.) Therefore,
glorify God in your body and in
00:24:21.40\00:24:23.40
your spirit which are God's.
00:24:23.40\00:24:24.76
Know ye not that ye are
the temple of God and that the
00:24:24.76\00:24:28.53
Spirit of God
dwelleth where, everybody?
00:24:28.53\00:24:31.00
(Aud: In you.) If any
man devour the temple of God,
00:24:31.00\00:24:33.53
him shall God destroy for
the temple of God is what,
00:24:33.53\00:24:36.76
everybody?
00:24:36.76\00:24:37.76
Holy.
00:24:37.76\00:24:38.76
Which temple ye are.
00:24:38.76\00:24:39.76
Thou shalt not what?
00:24:39.76\00:24:40.76
Kill.
00:24:40.76\00:24:41.76
We always want to think that
that command is just for the
00:24:41.76\00:24:43.76
murder of somebody, but
some of us are murdering
00:24:43.76\00:24:46.40
ourselves.
00:24:46.40\00:24:47.40
How?
00:24:47.40\00:24:48.40
It's what we put in our body.
00:24:48.40\00:24:49.40
Wine is the what, everybody?
00:24:49.40\00:24:51.40
(Aud: Mocker.) Strong drink is
raging and whosoever is deceived
00:24:51.40\00:24:54.03
thereby is not wise.
00:24:54.03\00:24:55.43
Who has woes, who has sorrows?
00:24:55.43\00:24:57.50
Who has
contention, who has babbling?
00:24:57.50\00:24:59.56
Who has wounds without cause?
00:24:59.56\00:25:01.33
Who has redness and red eyes?
00:25:01.33\00:25:03.40
They that tarry
long at the wine,
00:25:03.40\00:25:07.13
they that go to seek mixed wine,
look not thou upon the wine when
00:25:07.13\00:25:11.10
it's red, when it
giveth its color in the
00:25:11.10\00:25:13.93
cup, when it
moveth itself aright.
00:25:13.93\00:25:15.93
At the last it
biteth like the what,
00:25:15.93\00:25:19.00
everybody?
00:25:19.00\00:25:20.00
(Aud: Serpent.) And
its sting is like a what?
00:25:20.00\00:25:22.00
(Aud: Adder.) Though he divide
the hoof and be cloven-footed,
00:25:22.00\00:25:24.60
yet he cheweth not the
cud, he is what unto you?
00:25:24.60\00:25:28.36
(Aud: Unclean.) These shall
ye eat of all that are in the
00:25:28.36\00:25:31.63
waters, whatsoever
have fins and scales
00:25:31.63\00:25:33.70
in the seas and the
rivers, them shall ye eat,
00:25:33.70\00:25:35.76
and all that have not fins and
scales in the seas and in the
00:25:35.76\00:25:38.36
rivers, of all
that move in the waters
00:25:38.36\00:25:40.36
and of any living
thing which is in the waters,
00:25:40.36\00:25:42.36
they shall be an
abomination unto you.
00:25:42.36\00:25:44.36
They shall be even
an abomination unto you.
00:25:44.36\00:25:46.36
Ye shall not eat of their
flesh, but ye shall have their
00:25:46.36\00:25:49.30
carcasses in abomination.
00:25:49.30\00:25:50.30
Whatsoever have no fins
nor scales in the waters,
00:25:50.30\00:25:52.76
that shall be an
abomination unto you.
00:25:52.76\00:25:56.33
Wherefore, come
out from among them.
00:25:56.33\00:25:58.40
Be yet separate sayeth the Lord.
00:25:58.40\00:26:00.83
Touch not the unclean
thing and I will receive you,
00:26:00.83\00:26:04.80
whether therefore
ye, what everybody?
00:26:04.80\00:26:06.96
Eat.
00:26:06.96\00:26:07.96
Or what else?
00:26:07.96\00:26:08.96
Drink.
00:26:08.96\00:26:09.96
Or whatever ye do, do
all to the glory of whom?
00:26:09.96\00:26:11.96
(Aud: God.) But as in the days
of Noah so shall also the coming
00:26:11.96\00:26:15.20
of the Son of Man be.
00:26:15.20\00:26:17.63
For as in the days that
were before the flood they were
00:26:17.63\00:26:19.63
eating and what?
00:26:19.63\00:26:20.63
(Aud: Drinking.) Marrying and
giving in marriage until the day
00:26:20.63\00:26:23.26
that Noah entered into the
ark and knew not until the flood
00:26:23.26\00:26:26.26
came, took them all away.
00:26:26.26\00:26:28.26
So shall the coming
of the Son of Man be.

PB: Many people
suffer from poor health,
00:28:02.56\00:28:04.60
not because of what they eat,
but because of what is eating
00:28:04.60\00:28:07.03
them.
00:28:07.03\00:28:08.93
By the time most people discover
that good health is everything
00:28:08.93\00:28:11.46
they've already lost it.
