00:02 Announcer: BREATH OF LIFE PRESENTS:
00:06 EXPERIENCE THE POWER WITH WALTER L. PEARSON, JR. 00:14 TODAY, PASTOR PEARSON'S MESSAGE IS ENTITLED TO THE GLORY OF GOD. 00:18 (theme music) WP: WE'VE GOT A SUBJECT THAT I 00:26 THINK YOU WILL FIND INTERESTING. 00:29 INTERESTING. 00:30 TURN WITH ME TO FIRST CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 6. 00:34 SOMEBODY ALREADY ASKED, "WHAT IS THIS TO THE GLORY OF GOD ?" 00:38 WELL, LET ME WARN YOU A LITTLE BIT. 00:43 THIS SERMON USED TO BE TRAUMATIC, UNTIL SCIENCE 00:50 CAUGHT UP WITH THE BIBLE. 00:53 DID YOU HEAR THE WAY I SAID THAT ? 00:56 YOU SEE, SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THE CUTTING EDGE OF SCIENCE IS 01:02 WAY AHEAD OF THE WORD OF GOD. 01:05 YOU'D BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT GOD, WHO INVENTED ALL OF THIS, 01:10 WHO HOLDS THE WORLD IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND, KNOWS FAR MORE 01:14 THAN MOST PEOPLE IMAGINE. 01:17 IN FACT, THEY THINK THAT SCIENTISTS ARE AHEAD OF GOD. 01:21 LET ME AURE YOU THAT GOD GIVES THE INFORMATION 01:25 TO THE SCIENTISTS. 01:27 SO SCIENTISTS FINALLY CAUGHT UP. 01:30 FIRST CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 6, AND I WANT TO READ IN YOUR 01:34 HEARING VERSES 19 AND 20. 01:36 AND HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: 02:03 WOULD YOU PRAY WITH ME ? 02:04 FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THE BIBLE 02:11 TELLS US, THAT TONIGHT WE OPEN IT WITH EXPECTATION, AND AS 02:17 WE'VE READ THESE AMAZING WORDS, THAT WE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE, 02:21 WE ASK, FATHER, THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT MIGHT CONTINUE TO BE WITH 02:25 US, TO GUIDE US INTO ALL TRUTH. 02:28 HELP US TO RECOGNIZE TRUTH, TO EMBRACE TRUTH, AND WE 02:32 SHALL GIVE GLORY AND HONOR TO THE NAME OF JESUS. 02:35 IT IS IN HIS NAME THAT WE PRAY, AMEN. 02:40 SO TONIGHT WE START WITH WHAT I THINK IS ONE OF THOSE 02:45 EXPERIENCE THE POWER MOMENTS. 02:48 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. 02:52 LET'S BREAK THAT DOWN. 02:55 WHETHER YOU HAVE EMBRACED JESUS OR NOT, AND YOU KNOW WE BEGAN 03:00 WHEN WE STARTED THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE THE POWER MEETING 03:06 SERIES, WE STARTED BY SAYING THAT WE DON'T EXCLUDE PEOPLE WHO 03:10 DON'T THINK THEY'RE RELIGIOUS. 03:13 BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T EXCLUDE PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK 03:16 THEY'RE RELIGIOUS. 03:17 YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRESS A CERTAIN WAY. 03:20 YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK HOLY FOR JESUS TO LOVE YOU. 03:25 BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, HE ALREADY LOVED YOU. 03:30 IN FACT, WHEN WE WERE BORN IN REBELLION HIS 03:34 LOVE DID NOT CEASE. 03:35 IT IS AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. 03:39 AND HE SAYS YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. 03:43 NOW, THAT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE TO SOME IT MIGHT SEEM ODD 03:48 LANGUAGE, BUT HERE IS THE CASE. 03:50 JESUS CAN CLAIM ME TONIGHT FIRST BECAUSE HE MADE ME. 03:56 WELL, YOU SAY, I UNDERSTAND THE ADAM AND EVE THING, PREACHER, 04:01 BUT HOW DID HE MAKE YOU ? 04:03 WELL, HE MADE ME BECAUSE WITHOUT THE SPARK OF LIFE THAT 04:09 ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BORN ALIVE. 04:17 I READ SOME AMAZING LITERATURE A FEW MONTHS AGO. 04:21 IT SAYS THAT THE SCIENTISTS HAVE ALMOST BEEN ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER 04:27 EVERY ELEMENT OF THE HUMAN BODY. 04:31 THEY HAVE CONSTRUCTED PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING 04:35 THAT MAKES ME, ME. 04:38 BUT THIS ARTICLE SAYS THAT THERE'S ONE LITTLE IMPEDIMENT. 04:44 THAT IS WHILE THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE 04:47 ME, IN FACT, THEY COULD PROBABLY IMITATE THE HUMAN BODY ALL THE 04:52 WAY DOWN TO THE END, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE 04:56 THE POWER TO DO, AND THAT'S WHAT JESUS DID AFTER HE'D FORMED ADAM 05:03 FROM THE DUST OF THE EARTH. 05:05 REMEMBER, THE BIBLE SAYS HE BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS, 05:09 AND YOU KNOW I LOVE TO SAY THIS BECAUSE IT'S THE NAME 05:12 OF THE TELEVISION SHOW: THE BREATH OF LIFE. 05:18 YOU KNOW, I'VE READ THOSE BEAUTIFUL POEMS THAT ARE SO 05:22 WONDERFUL, BUT I CAN SEE IT, I CAN SEE JESUS WITH DUST, 05:27 FORMING A SKELETAL SYSTEM, PUTTING NERVES AROUND 05:33 THE BONES ARTFULLY. 05:35 AND THEN HE BEGINS, MAYBE, WITH THE MUSCLES AND FORMS THEM 05:39 IN THE RIGHT PLACE, THE RIGHT SIZE AND THE RIGHT STRENGTH. 05:43 AND THEN HE PUTS ON SKIN; THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM--I READ THE 05:47 ARTICLE--COVERS IT WITH SKIN. 05:52 BUT SEE, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME SPECIAL PLACES. 05:55 CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS TO SEE HIM FORM A LITTLE BALL, 06:00 PRESS IT INTO THAT SOCKET THAT MADE AN EYE ? 06:05 CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS FOR HIM TO FORM A TONGUE, AND 06:10 PUT IT RIGHT IN THERE, TO THE EXTENT THAT WHEN HE BREATHED 06:18 INTO ADAM'S NOSTRILS, ADAM AWAKENED ABLE TO SPEAK. 06:29 IF THAT'S NOT A MOMENT FOR YOU, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS ! 06:32 BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT JESUS PULLED THAT WONDERFUL REFLECTION 06:37 OF HIMSELF, PULLED IT UP, FACED IT, AND THEN CAN YOU 06:44 IMAGINE THAT MOMENT ? 06:50 AND HE TURNS IT LOOSE, AND INSTEAD OF FALLING BACK DOWN 06:55 LIKE SOMETHING I WOULD HAVE MADE, THIS THING IS ANIMATED 07:01 BY THE POWER OF THE SPARK THAT ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE. 07:06 SO I DON'T CARE HOW FAR AWAY FROM CREATION WE ARE, YOU MUST 07:10 UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN A MOTHER BEARS A CHILD, WHETHER SHE'S AT 07:15 HOME OR IN A HOSPITAL, THEY'VE GOT ALL THOSE WONDERFUL MACHINES 07:18 AROUND, BUT THERE IS NO MACHINE THAT CAN MAKE THAT BABY LIVE. 07:23 IT IS STILL THE SPARK OF LIFE THAT JESUS GIVES. 07:29 SO HE MADE US, BUT WHEN THE DEVIL SAW HOW FANTASTIC THE 07:37 CREATION WAS, AND WHEN HE WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN DOWN 07:43 TO THE EARTH, HE BEGAN TO LOOK AT ADAM AND EVE AND WONDER 07:47 HOW HE COULD CONQUER THEM. 07:50 SO HE BEGUILED THEM. 07:53 AND WHEN EVE WANDERED AWAY FROM HER HUSBAND, I HAVE DON'T 07:57 TIME TO STOP THERE, BUT EVERY WIFE OUGHT TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT. 08:03 YOU MIGHT WANT TO STAY CLOSE TO THE MAN, BECAUSE WHEN YOU 08:08 SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER, PSYCHOLOGICALLY OR 08:11 PHYSIOLOGICALLY, THERE COMES A STRAIN IN THE PROCESS. 08:15 EVE GOES AWAY, ENCOUNTERS A SERPENT WHO CAN TALK, 08:19 IT IS THE DEVIL TALKING THROUGH THE SERPENT. 08:21 WHEN SHE COMES BACK TO ADAM, HE LOOKS AT HER AND KNOWS 08:27 THAT SOMETHING'S WRONG. 08:30 EVERY MAN IN THE AUDIENCE KNOWS WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE. 08:38 ADAM SHOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO GOD--EVE STAY RIGHT THERE. 08:46 LORD, SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER. 08:49 SHE'S NOT LOOKING THE SAME AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT 08:53 I'VE GOT A FEW MORE RIBS IF YOU'VE GOT THE TIME. 09:04 BUT, LISTEN; WHEN GOD PUT THEM TOGETHER, HE 09:08 DID A MARVELOUS THING. 09:10 YOU REMEMBER THAT WHEN ADAM SAW EVE, HE SAID IT THREE TIMES: 09:13 THIS, THIS, THIS IS THE BONE OF MY BONE AND FLESH OF MY FLESH. 09:19 AND EVEN WHEN SHE CAME BACK LOOKING FUNNY, 09:21 HE STILL LOVED HER. 09:23 SHE SAID--TAKE A BITE OF THIS FRUIT--AND HE BIT IT, AND WE 09:28 THOUGHT THAT MANKIND WAS LOST. 09:32 BUT THE TEXT SAYS THAT HE BOUGHT US. 09:36 JESUS PROMISED--ONE DAY, IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME, ONE DAY 09:44 I WILL GO TO CALVARY'S CROSS AND I WILL SHED MY BLOOD SO 09:49 THAT THIS COUPLE CAN LIVE. 09:52 SO INSTEAD OF DROPPING DEAD, LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS, THE 09:55 WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, JESUS PROMISED HIS OWN BLOOD SO MAN 10:02 DID NOT DIE INSTANTLY, BUT MAN CONTINUED TO LIVE ON THE 10:06 PROMISE OF JESUS CHRIST--I'LL BUY YOU WITH A PRICE. 10:12 THE PRICE IS HIGHER THAN ANYBODY COULD PAY, EXCEPT THAT GOD 10:17 BECAME MAN AND SHED HIS BLOOD SO TONIGHT WE CAN DECLARE THERE IS 10:23 POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS. 10:30 I USED TO ASK MY PARENTS, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T OLD, 10:34 BUT I WAS TRYING TO THINK THAT THING THROUGH. 10:37 I SAID--YOU KNOW, DID THE BIBLE SAY THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH ? 10:40 YES. 10:43 WELL, DIDN'T THEY SIN ? 10:45 YES. 10:46 SO, I ASKED HIM--WHY DIDN'T THEY DROP DEAD ? 10:50 GOD DOESN'T LIE, SO WHY DIDN'T EVE DROP 10:54 DEAD AND ADAM DROP DEAD ? 10:58 AND THE ANSWER IS WE ARE LIVING ON A BORROWED LIFE. 11:03 WE ARE LIVING ON THE POWER THAT WAS FIRST PROMISED 11:08 THAT KEPT US ALIVE. 11:09 BEFORE THE CROSS, WE LIVED ON THE PROMISE OF JESUS. 11:14 AFTER THE CROSS WE LIVE ON THE POWER OF JESUS' BLOOD. 11:19 BUT HIS WORD WAS POWERFUL ENOUGH THAT EVEN BEFORE HE 11:22 DIED, HIS WORD KEPT US ALIVE. 11:26 SO TONIGHT YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR OWN. 11:32 GOD OWNS IT TWICE. 11:34 HE MADE YOU, AND THEN WHEN YOU WERE LOST, HE 11:39 PAID TO GET YOU BACK. 11:44 SO WHOEVER YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE, YOU ARE 11:48 BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. 11:51 WELL, LET'S MOVE FROM THE HAPPY TIMES FOR SOME, BUT LET'S GO TO 11:55 FIRST CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 10. 11:58 AND LOOK, INCIDENTALLY, YOU'VE GOT TO GET THAT FIRST PART. 12:01 THAT IS THE DECODER FOR THE REST OF THE SERMON. 12:06 IF YOU FORGET THAT, YOU'LL BE LOST. 12:09 THE DECODER FOR THE SERMON IS--YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN. 12:14 YOU ARE JESUS' PROPERTY, TWICE. 12:18 MADE YOU; BOUGHT YOU; REDEEMED YOU. 12:23 SO, THIS IS FIRST CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER TEN, AND LETS LOOK AT 12:26 VERSE TWENTY-ONE. 12:27 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER TEN AND VERSE TWENTY-ONE. 12:31 AND HERE'S WHAT--THIRTY-ONE, FORGIVE ME--HERE'S WHAT 12:33 THE BIBLE SAYS: 12:47 NOW, WITHOUT THE FIRST TEXT, THE SECOND ONE FOR SOME PEOPLE 12:51 WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE, BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO ASK. 12:55 WE ARE IN A GENERATION OF DOUBTERS. 12:58 PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW-WHAT IS THIS THING ABOUT GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY. 13:04 I DON'T QUESTION IT. 13:06 I'M GRATEFUL THAT I'VE READ ENOUGH SCRIPTURES TO KNOW 13:08 THAT JESUS IS SOVEREIGN. 13:14 SO I DON'T QUESTION HIS REQUESTS OR HIS COMMANDS, BECAUSE HE 13:20 MADE ME, AND REDEEMED ME. 13:23 SO TWO TIMES I AM HIS. 13:27 THIS TEXT SAYS--WHETHER YOU EAT OR DRINK OR WHATEVER YOU DO--NOW 13:33 WHATEVER YOU DO COVERS A LOT. 13:38 COVERS A LOT--BUT WHETHER YOU EAT OR DRINK OR WHATSOEVER YOU 13:43 DO, DO EVERYTHING TO THE GLORY OF GOD BECAUSE I AM NOT MY OWN. 13:49 SO WE'VE GOT THE DECODER. 13:50 EVERYBODY REMEMBERS IT. 13:51 IF YOU FORGET, SOMEBODY WILL NUDGE YOU, I HOPE, 13:54 AND REMIND YOU. 13:55 NOW, IF THAT BE SO, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS HAS THE RIGHT TO 14:00 SAY WHAT YOU OUGHT TO PUT INTO YOUR BODY, BECAUSE AS THAT 14:05 LITTLE TRITE PHRASE GOES--YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. 14:11 AND DON'T GET NERVOUS, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A DIET SERMON. 14:19 NOT DIET AS IN HOW MUCH YOU EAT. 14:23 I'VE GOT A LITTLE THING I'LL SHARE WITH YOU IN 14:24 A MINUTE ABOUT THAT. 14:26 WE COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES. 14:32 IF YOU COULD WISH YOURSELF A SIZE, MOST OF US WOULD WISH 14:37 OURSELVES SLIM AND TRIM, BUT THERE ARE SOME OF US WHO 14:42 DIDN'T COME IN THAT PACKAGE, AND WE STRUGGLE FOR THE REST 14:45 OF OUR DAYS TO BE SVELTE, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS 14:49 ABOUT, BECAUSE THE FACT IS THAT YOUR EATING HABITS, IN 14:54 THAT SENSE, DIET, THOSE THINGS ARE OF INTEREST TO GOD. 14:58 LET'S START WITH BASICS. 15:00 YOU OUGHT TO CARE FOR YOUR BODY BECAUSE IT 15:03 DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU. 15:04 YOU OUGHT NOT TREAT IT LIKE YOU THINK IT OUGHT TO BE 15:07 TREATED, BECAUSE IT IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 15:11 NOW I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOME OF OUR BODIES 15:15 MEASURE UP BECAUSE THEY DON'T NECESSARILY LOOK LIKE TEMPLES. 15:24 I'M WAITING FOR YOU. 15:27 BUT IF THE BIBLE SAYS YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE 15:30 HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH IS IN YOU, YOU CANNOT TREAT YOUR BODY 15:35 IN A NONCHALANT FASHION. 15:38 YOU CAN'T BE LIKE YOUNG PEOPLE GENERALLY ARE. 15:42 MOST YOUNG PEOPLE THINK THAT LIFE AND HEALTH ARE RESOURCES 15:48 THAT WILL NEVER BE EXHAUSTED. 15:51 WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I THOUGHT THAT STRENGTH WAS A GIVEN. 15:55 I STRUTTED AND FRETTED THEM, THOUGHT THAT I HAD THE 15:59 POWER TO LIVE FOREVER. 16:01 I REMEMBER A PREACHER CAME TO THE HIGH SCHOOL WHERE I 16:04 WAS AND PREACHED EVERY NIGHT ABOUT PEOPLE DYING. 16:07 HE TRIED TO FRIGHTEN US INTO JESUS. 16:13 WHAT HE DID NOT RECOGNIZE IS THAT YOUNG PEOPLE, 16:16 PARTICULARLY THEN, BEFORE THE HORRORS OF DRUGS, WE THOUGHT 16:20 NOTHING COULD KILL US ! 16:23 WE LIVED WITH RECKLESS ABANDON BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE YOU COULD 16:28 DO ANYTHING YOU THOUGHT TO DO. 16:30 YOU COULD JUMP AS HIGH AS YOU IMAGINE. 16:32 YOU COULD RUN AS FAST AS YOU CHOSE TO. 16:35 IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU GET TO THE END OF YOUR THIRTIES. . . 16:45 . . .CAN WE TALK ? 16:49 I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SAYS, AND THIS GENTLEMAN IS 16:51 AUTHORIZED TO GIVE AN OPINION--HE'S A PHYSICIAN. 16:55 HE SAYS WHEN YOU REACH FORTY, AND AMAZING THING 16:57 HAPPENS--YOU AND YOUR BODY HAVE TO RECONCILE WHAT YOUR 17:03 LIFE HAS BEEN UP UNTIL THEN. 17:07 SO ALL OF YOUR BAD HABITS ARE BROUGHT TO YOUR 17:10 ATTENTION, SAYS HE. 17:11 THIS IS NOT FROM THE BIBLE. 17:12 THIS IS FROM A PHYSICIAN, WHO RATHER WITH A TWINKLE IN HIS 17:16 EYE SAYS THAT YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT THIS 17:20 THING CAN RUN OUT ! 17:22 I WISH I COULD CONVINCE THEM IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. 17:25 THEY'RE JUST LIKE I WAS-THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT. 17:28 WHEN OLD PEOPLE TALK THEY SAY-AW, HE'S JUST OLD. 17:32 DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO HIM; HE'S AN OLD MAN. 17:36 BUT THE OLD TRY TO TELL THE YOUNG--PRESERVE YOUR STRENGTH. 17:42 DON'T DO SILLY THINGS BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU'LL REACH BACK 17:46 FOR THE RESOURCE. . .AND IT WON'T BE THERE. 17:56 SO LIVE IN THE PRIME OF YOUR YOUTH, GLORIFY GOD IN WHAT 18:02 YOU DO, BECAUSE THERE WILL COME A DAY WHEN THERE WON'T BE 18:07 AS MUCH LEFT AS YOU THOUGHT. 18:09 ARE WE TOGETHER ? 18:12 SO HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU OUGHT TO DO, AND THIS 18:14 IS NOT FROM THE BIBLE, THESE THINGS ARE FROM PHYSICIANS. 18:16 YOU OUGHT TO GIVE YOURSELF FRESH AIR, SUNLIGHT--I WAS 18:21 JUST READING THIS AFTERNOON TRYING TO KIND OF BONE UP 18:24 QUICKLY ON A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I THOUGHT MIGHT BE 18:27 INTERESTING-IN SUNLIGHT FOR A HALF AN HOUR OR 45 18:31 MINUTES-THE SUN DOES AMAZING THINGS TO YOUR BODY. 18:35 NOW, YOU CAN'T STAY OUT THERE FOREVER, PARTICULARLY DURING THE 18:38 HOTTEST TIMES OF THE DAY; THERE ARE DANGERS IN BEING EXPED TO 18:41 THE SUN WITHOUT PROTECTION. 18:43 BUT THE SUN SHOULD NOT BE HIDDEN FROM. 18:46 EVEN THOUGH MY TAN IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, I 18:51 NEED TO GET INTO THE SUN. 18:54 SO, YOU OUGHT TO HAVE SUNLIGHT. 18:55 YOU OUGHT TO HAVE REST. 18:58 LET ME PAUSE THERE FOR A MINUTE BECAUSE NOW WE LIVE 19:01 IN A GENERATION WHERE NOBODY HAS TIME TO REST. 19:06 YOU'VE GOT MORE THAN 200 TELEVISION CHANNELS, AND SOME 19:11 OF US CAN NEVER STOP SEARCHING. 19:17 GENTLEMEN, YOU AND I ARE THE MOST HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHEN 19:21 IT COMES TO THE REMOTE. 19:23 YOUR WIFE CAN BARELY GET HER HANDS ON IT. 19:26 YOUR FAMILY TRIES TO GET IT, BUT YOU'VE GOT IT HIDDEN SOMEWHERE. 19:32 YOU'RE ALWAYS CLICKING, TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE, AND 19:35 YOU FIND YOURSELF UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT STILL 19:37 CLICKING THROUGH CHANNELS AND WHAT I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, 19:40 BASED ON SO MUCH INFORMATION, IS THAT THERE'S NOTHING THERE ! 19:45 SOMETIMES THE INSIDES OF YOUR EYELIDS ARE BETTER TO WATCH 19:50 THAN WHAT'S ON TELEVISION. 19:55 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT EIGHT HOURS SLEEP 19:57 IS A JOKE--IT IS NOT. 19:59 I READ ONE SCIENTIST OR PSYCHOLOGIST WHO SAYS UNLESS YOU 20:03 SLEEP FOUR AND A HALF HOURS UNINTERRUPTED, YOUR BRAIN CAN'T 20:08 FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY IS UP. 20:12 SO YOU WAKE UP WITH UNRESOLVED ISSUES. 20:18 AND SOME PEOPLE ARE WONDERING-WHY DOES LIFE 20:20 SEEM SO STRANGE ? 20:22 GO TO SLEEP ! 20:27 YOUR BRAIN IS A MARVELOUS, MARVELOUS MECHANISM. 20:31 IT'S FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE, AND IF 20:34 YOU JUST LET IT SLEEP, IT CAN DO MARVELOUS THINGS. 20:38 IT FIGURES OUT WHAT YOU DID WRONG BEFORE AND WHAT YOU OUGHT 20:41 TO DO TOMORROW, BUT YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP IT UP AND UP AND UP. 20:46 FINALLY, IT WILL PUT YOU INTO THE NETHERWORLD. 20:49 YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. 20:51 YOU GOT TO REST ! 20:54 THEN, YOU'VE ALSO GOT TO HAVE EXERCISE. 20:56 OH, HO, HO. 20:59 AND YOU KNOW THIS IS REALLY NOT ENOUGH. 21:08 YOU HEARD THE DOCTOR SAY LAST NIGHT--YOU'VE GOT TWO DOCTORS, 21:13 LEFT LEG, RIGHT LEG. 21:15 YOU'VE GOT TO USE IT. 21:16 YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP YOUR BODY IN MOTION. 21:19 YOU'VE GOT TO GET AIR AND PURE WATER. 21:22 AND LET ME TELL YOU I HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF 21:25 BEING AWAY FROM WATER. 21:28 FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HAD THE CHALLENGE, YOU 21:31 THINK THAT ANYTHING WILL QUENCH YOUR THIRST. 21:35 BUT IF YOU EVER GET REALLY THIRSTY--I WAS 21:38 IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY. 21:40 I HADN'T HAD ALL THE SHOTS. 21:42 THEY TOLD ME, YOU CAN ONLY DRINK BOTTLED WATER ON THIS 21:45 TRIP, SO I HAD ENOUGH TO CARRY ME FOR A FEW DAYS. 21:50 AND I WENT AND BOUGHT A LITTLE MORE WHERE I TRAVELED. 21:54 BUT THERE CAME A DAY WHEN I WAS AWAY FROM CAR, AND 21:59 I COULDN'T DRINK ANY WATER EXCEPT BOTTLED WATER. 22:03 I COULDN'T BUY ANY, COULDN'T FIND ANY, AND WHEN I GOT BACK 22:07 TO THE CAR, THE SUN HAD BEEN SHINING ON MY BOTTLE. 22:12 ARE YOU THERE WITH ME ? 22:15 SO I REACHED FOR MY BOTTLE; NOW I'VE GOT TO TAKE IT AND 22:21 I'M SO THIRSTY THAT THE TEMPERATURE DOESN'T MATTER. 22:25 IF I CAN JUST GET IT TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN 22:27 PUT IT TO MY LIPS. 22:30 IT CAN BE HOT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT ANY JUICE, I 22:34 DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING SWEET. 22:38 MY BODY CRAVED WATER. 22:40 PHYSICIANS SAY THAT YOUR BRAIN CAN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY 22:44 WITHOUT ENOUGH WATER. 22:46 DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO NEEDS WATER ? 22:53 YOUR HEART CAN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY. 22:56 WHEN I HEARD THAT I GOT A SUPPLY. 22:59 I WENT AND GOT ONE OF THOSE FILTERS AND PUT IT ON MY FAUCET. 23:02 I GOT WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE, NOW, BECAUSE I'M AT THE POINT 23:06 WHERE I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THE HEART KEEPS ON 23:09 BEATING IN RHYTHM. 23:11 AND IF WHAT MY HEART NEEDS IS WATER; IT SHALL HAVE WATER. 23:16 THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES. 23:17 THOSE ARE BASICS. 23:18 BUT THEN YOU NEED TO EAT THE FRESHEST QUALITY 23:22 FRUITS, NUTS AND GRAINS. 23:25 THIS IS FROM THE PHYSICIANS, NOW, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE 23:27 A DOCTOR, I'M JUST QUOTING WHAT THEY SAY. 23:30 YOU OUGHT TO EAT SOME RAW FOOD EVERY DAY; YOU OUGHT 23:33 TO STAY AWAY FROM REFINED FOODS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 23:37 YOU OUGHT TO EAT FIVE OR MORE SERVINGS OF FRUITS 23:41 AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY. 23:44 VERY FEW FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, VERY FEW, 23:52 SERVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, BUT YOU OUGHT TO EAT FIVE 23:57 OR MORE SERVINGS. 23:58 YOU OUGHT TO EAT GREEN AND YELLOW VEGETABLES ALONG 24:00 WITH CITRUS AND TRY TO AVOID ANIMAL FATS, BECAUSE IT'S 24:04 NOT GOOD FOR THE BODY. 24:08 BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. 24:10 THE BIBLE GETS A LITTLE MORE INVOLVED THAN THAT. 24:13 IN FACT, LET ME PROMISE YOU FOR A LONG TIME, GOD HAS BEEN 24:19 INTERESTED IN WHAT WE EAT. 24:22 CAN I GO BACK A LITTLE BIT ?
