CONTINUES HIS MESSAGE FROM
00:00:14.40\00:00:17.16
FIRST CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER
6, ENTITLED TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
00:00:17.16\00:00:25.03
WP: EAT FRUITS,
NUTS AND WHOLE GRAINS.
00:00:25.03\00:00:30.96
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT GOD
GAVE THAT DIET TO ADAM AND EVE.
00:00:30.96\00:00:35.96
THEY HAD JUST COME
FRESH FROM HIS HAND.
00:00:35.96\00:00:40.76
ADAM WAS TALL AND STURDY.
00:00:40.76\00:00:44.00
HE HAD BOUNCE IN HIS STEP.
00:00:44.00\00:00:46.53
CAN YOU IMAGINE
HOW HANDSOME HE WAS ?
00:00:46.53\00:00:48.80
I DON'T WANT TO DISTURB
THE LADIES TOO MUCH, BUT JUST
00:00:48.80\00:00:51.13
THINK A MINUTE ABOUT WHAT
ADAM MUST HAVE LOOKED LIKE.
00:00:51.13\00:00:56.96
AND GOD SAID IN ORDER TO KEEP
ADAM LIKE THAT, I WANT YOU TO
00:00:56.96\00:01:00.40
EAT FRUITS, NUTS AND GRAINS.
00:01:00.40\00:01:03.83
EVE WAS AMAZING.
00:01:03.83\00:01:07.00
ADAM TELLS US THAT.
00:01:07.00\00:01:08.96
A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE, AND
GOD SAYS I WILL KEEP HER LOOKING
00:01:08.96\00:01:12.86
LIKE THAT, I WILL GIVE
HER A DIET THAT WILL MAKE HER
00:01:12.86\00:01:16.93
LIVE AT AN OPTIMUM
LEVEL, AND HE GAVE THEM FRUITS,
00:01:16.93\00:01:21.53
NUTS AND WHOLE GRAINS.
00:01:21.53\00:01:23.76
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
HAD SO MANY PROCESSED FOODS THAT
00:01:23.76\00:01:29.10
THEY CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THERE
IS JOY IN EATING THAT DIET.
00:01:29.10\00:01:36.10
BUT THE ONE WHO MADE ADAM AND
EVE GAVE ADAM AND EVE THAT DIET.
00:01:36.10\00:01:42.60
I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING.
00:01:42.60\00:01:45.60
THERE ARE SOME
FRUITS THAT ARE SO SWEET.
00:01:45.60\00:01:47.96
I'M HAPPY TO HAVE TRAVELED
TO SOME PLACES, I WAS IN
00:01:47.96\00:01:50.56
WEST AFRICA, AND I TOOK
SOME FOOD OVER THERE BECAUSE I
00:01:50.56\00:01:56.03
WAS ON A SPECIAL DIET ONE
OF THOSE TIMES, AND I RAN OUT
00:01:56.03\00:01:59.33
OF IT AND I WAS VERY CAREFUL.
00:01:59.33\00:02:02.46
I SAID, "LOOK, I WANT TO BE VERY
CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I EAT," AND
00:02:02.46\00:02:05.43
THE DEAR LADY WHERE I WAS LIVING
SAID, "MY HUSBAND, WHEN HE WANTS
00:02:05.43\00:02:09.23
TO BE CAREFUL, EATS PINEAPPLE."
00:02:09.23\00:02:14.60
PINEAPPLES WHERE I LIVE
ARE NOT ALL THAT SPECTACULAR.
00:02:14.60\00:02:19.56
BUT IN GHANA !
00:02:19.56\00:02:22.26
SHE BROUGHT ME A PINEAPPLE, AND
SHE CUT THAT THING, AND I SAID,
00:02:22.26\00:02:31.60
"WHAT KIND OF PINEAPPLE ?"
00:02:31.60\00:02:32.80
AND SHE SAID, "OH,
IT'S JUST A PINEAPPLE.
00:02:32.80\00:02:35.53
WE EAT THEM EVERY DAY."
00:02:35.53\00:02:37.30
AND I TASTED IT, AND IT
WAS SWEETER THAN ANYTHING
00:02:37.30\00:02:40.90
I'D EVER TASTED BEFORE.
00:02:40.90\00:02:44.16
AND FOR DAYS, UNTIL I LEFT, THAT
WAS THE MAIN STAPLE OF MY DIET.
00:02:44.16\00:02:49.30
AND IT WAS SO SWEET AND
JUICY, UNTIL I WISH NOW,
00:02:49.30\00:02:53.43
AT THIS VERY MOMENT. . .
00:02:53.43\00:02:59.23
BUT THE TASTES OF FRUITS !
00:02:59.23\00:03:02.63
I'VE BEEN IN THE CARIBBEAN WHERE
THEY HAVE FRUITS EVERYWHERE; YOU
00:03:02.63\00:03:05.83
CAN PICK THEM UP OFF THE GROUND.
00:03:05.83\00:03:10.16
IF YOU EVER NEED TO BE HOMELESS,
BE HOMELESS IN THE CARIBBEAN
00:03:10.16\00:03:13.00
BECAUSE. . .YOU CAN EAT. . .
00:03:13.00\00:03:17.83
AND I ATE ALL KINDS OF THINGS,
AND THE FRUITS HAVE DIFFERENT
00:03:17.83\00:03:20.60
FLAVORS AND DIFFERENT TASTES
AND I CONFESS TO YOU THAT THERE
00:03:20.60\00:03:24.26
IS A MANGO NAMED JULIE !
00:03:24.26\00:03:34.56
BUT WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS THAT
THE FRUITS HAVE ALL THE FLAVORS,
00:03:34.56\00:03:39.46
AND THEN WHEN I WAS A
CHILD, WE USED TO EAT BREAD.
00:03:39.46\00:03:44.86
IT WAS THE BEST
THAT WE COULD AFFORD.
00:03:44.86\00:03:47.53
IT WAS VERY LIGHT IN
COLOR; THERE WAS A CONSISTENCY
00:03:47.53\00:03:56.50
THAT WAS REGRETTABLE.
00:03:56.50\00:04:00.23
YOU COULD ACTUALLY TAKE A SLICE
OF THIS BREAD, BALL IT UP IN
00:04:00.23\00:04:04.33
YOUR HAND, PUT IT DOWN, AND
IT WOULD STAY JUST LIKE THAT.
00:04:04.33\00:04:16.93
MY FAMILY MOVED UP JUST
SLIGHTLY ON THE SOCIOECONOMIC
00:04:16.93\00:04:22.36
SCALE AND WE STARTED
EATING SOME DIFFERENT BREAD.
00:04:22.36\00:04:25.56
WHEN MY DAD FIRST
BROUGHT IT HOME, MY BROTHER AND
00:04:25.56\00:04:28.06
I WERE ANGRY.
00:04:28.06\00:04:31.06
IT WAS DARK AND THICK AND HEAVY.
00:04:31.06\00:04:36.70
YOU PICKED IT UP; IT ALMOST
STRAINED YOU TO PICK IT UP.
00:04:36.70\00:04:41.03
DAD SAID, "THIS IS WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE EATING FROM NOW
00:04:41.03\00:04:43.73
ON," AND WE RESISTED.
00:04:43.73\00:04:46.56
IN FACT WE WENT ON A HUNGER
FAST FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR.
00:04:46.56\00:04:53.83
THEN I FINALLY STARTED TASTING
WHAT REAL GRAIN WAS LIKE.
00:04:53.83\00:04:59.43
AND I CONFESS TO YOU, I'VE
COME TO THE POINT NOW WHERE I
00:04:59.43\00:05:01.53
CAN'T EAT THAT THING
ANYMORE THAT YOU CAN BALL UP IN
00:05:01.53\00:05:03.86
YOUR HAND--BECAUSE OF
THE TASTE OF REAL BREAD.
00:05:03.86\00:05:08.93
AND THEN IF YOU WERE TO GO TO
MY HOUSE TONIGHT, YOU FIND NUTS
00:05:08.93\00:05:12.43
OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, BECAUSE
THERE IS A RICHNESS THERE.
00:05:12.43\00:05:16.40
I UNDERSTAND ADAM AND EVE.
00:05:16.40\00:05:19.63
THEY HAD A WONDERFUL DIET !
00:05:19.63\00:05:21.30
AND I'M GOING TO IMAGINE
THEY HAD SOME THINGS THAT
00:05:21.30\00:05:23.36
WE DON'T HAVE ANYMORE.
00:05:23.36\00:05:25.10
CAN YOU IMAGINE EVE SAID, "WHAT
ARE WE GOING TO EAT TODAY ?"
00:05:25.10\00:05:30.50
AND THEY WERE
EATING ALL THOSE TREES THAT
00:05:30.50\00:05:32.63
GOD HAD GIVEN TO THEM.
00:05:32.63\00:05:34.33
REMEMBER THERE WAS ONLY ONE THAT
HE SAID, "YOU CAN'T EAT OF."
00:05:34.33\00:05:38.50
THERE WERE HUNDREDS
OF THEM, SO I UNDERSTAND.
00:05:38.50\00:05:42.30
NOW, THERE CAME A MOMENT
WHEN SIN TAINTED ADAM AND EVE.
00:05:42.30\00:05:47.33
GENESIS, GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER
3, AND LOOK AT VERSE 18, AFTER
00:05:47.33\00:05:54.60
SIN INTO THE PICTURE, THERE
WAS SOMETHING THAT CHANGED.
00:05:54.60\00:05:58.96
AND HERE'S WHAT GOD ALLOWED:
00:05:58.96\00:06:01.26
I'VE GOT TO SAY THIS
GENTLY BECAUSE THERE'S A LITTLE
00:06:15.10\00:06:18.53
CULTURAL HIGHLIGHT THAT I'M
GOING TO HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU.
00:06:18.53\00:06:22.73
BUT HERBS ARE SIMPLY VEGETABLES.
00:06:22.73\00:06:27.53
THERE ARE CERTAIN
VEGETABLES THAT ARE POPULAR IN
00:06:27.53\00:06:32.16
CERTAIN PLACES.
00:06:32.16\00:06:39.16
I APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS
WHO ARE IN OTHER COUNTRIES
00:06:39.16\00:06:43.13
WHO HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED
SOMETHING CALLED COLLARD GREENS.
00:06:43.13\00:06:53.03
PERHAPS IF WE MEET ONE DAY,
MY WIFE WILL MAKE SOME FOR YOU.
00:06:53.03\00:06:58.43
IT IS AN HERB
WITH A SUBLIME TASTE.
00:06:58.43\00:07:04.30
IN FACT, I HAVE SAID TO PEOPLE,
I HAVE SAID TO PEOPLE, ASSUMING
00:07:04.30\00:07:13.23
THAT I MAKE IT TO HEAVEN, I
WANT TO MAKE A SPECIAL REQUEST.
00:07:13.23\00:07:17.90
I KNOW THAT SIN WILL HAVE BEEN
CONQUERED, AND WE WILL NO LONGER
00:07:17.90\00:07:21.36
NEED HERBS; WE CAN GO TO
THE TREE OF LIFE AND TAKE A LEAF
00:07:21.36\00:07:27.46
FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.
00:07:27.46\00:07:29.86
I SAY, BUT DO YOU THINK
THE LORD WOULD SMILE ON ME AND
00:07:29.86\00:07:34.13
CAUSE ONE LEAF TO
TASTE LIKE A COLLARD GREEN ?
00:07:34.13\00:07:42.60
HERBS BECAME MEDICATION.
00:07:42.60\00:07:46.06
NOW, LET ME SHOW
YOU HOW INVOLVED GOD IS
00:07:46.06\00:07:50.96
IN OUR NUTRITION.
00:07:50.96\00:07:53.40
WHEN WE WERE WITHOUT SIN,
FRUITS, NUTS, WHOLE GRAINS.
00:07:53.40\00:07:58.36
AFTER SIN, GOD KNEW THAT
WE NEEDED MEDICATION, SO HE
00:07:58.36\00:08:01.76
GAVE US HERBS TO EAT, AND
HERBS WERE ADDED TO THE DIET
00:08:01.76\00:08:06.13
TO GIVE US HEALTH AFTER SIN.
00:08:06.13\00:08:09.20
NOW, GO TO GENESIS,
CHAPTER 7, AND I WILL SHOW YOU
00:08:09.20\00:08:14.36
THAT IT CHANGED EVEN
MORE AFTER THE FLOOD.
00:08:14.36\00:08:19.23
GENESIS, CHAPTER 7, AND YOU
REMEMBER THAT FOR A TIME, THE
00:08:19.23\00:08:27.66
EARTH WAS COVERED WITH WATER,
SO YOU'LL BE SURPRISED HOW GOD
00:08:27.66\00:08:34.33
LOOKS AT OUR NEEDS AND
REACHES OUT TO TAKE CARE OF US.
00:08:34.33\00:08:39.66
LET ME START WITH VERSE 1:
00:08:39.66\00:08:41.03
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
00:08:52.10\00:08:53.86
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS TELLS ME ?
00:08:53.86\00:08:56.20
EVEN IF I LIVE IN A WICKED
GENERATION, IF I AM FAITHFUL TO
00:08:56.20\00:09:02.70
GOD, GOD WILL BE FAITHFUL TO ME.
00:09:02.70\00:09:06.90
YOU KNOW THE STORY.
00:09:06.90\00:09:08.23
I WON'T EVEN DRAMATIZE IT.
00:09:08.23\00:09:09.93
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL KNOW
WHEN NOAH STARTED BUILDING THAT
00:09:09.93\00:09:15.70
BOAT THAT GOD INSTRUCTED
HIM TO BUILD, PEOPLE THOUGHT HE
00:09:15.70\00:09:19.26
HAD GONE OUT OF HIS MIND.
00:09:19.26\00:09:20.23
THERE HAD NEVER BEEN
RAIN; THE EARTH WAS GIVEN
00:09:20.23\00:09:24.40
MOISTURE BY THE DEW.
00:09:24.40\00:09:27.13
SO WHEN HE SAID, "IT'S
GOING TO RAIN," THEY SAID HE WAS
00:09:27.13\00:09:29.43
OUT OF HIS MIND.
00:09:29.43\00:09:30.86
BUT HE BUILT ANYWAY, AND
THEY TEASED AND THEY SHOUTED
00:09:30.86\00:09:33.83
AT HIM, BUT GOD
FINALLY TOLD THEM, "LOOK, START
00:09:33.83\00:09:36.90
MAKING PREPARATIONS."
00:09:36.90\00:09:37.83
AND HERE THEY ARE:
00:09:37.83\00:09:39.13
LET'S LOOK AT GOD'S LOVE.
00:10:07.26\00:10:10.10
WHEN MAN WAS FRESH FROM HIS
HAND, HE GAVE THE PERFECT DIET.
00:10:10.10\00:10:15.70
IT'S STILL PERFECT.
00:10:15.70\00:10:19.36
IT'S STILL PERFECT.
00:10:19.36\00:10:20.90
WHEN SIN ENTERED THEIR LIVES,
HE ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE HERBS
00:10:20.90\00:10:26.06
BECAUSE THEY NEEDED THE
HEALING PROPERTIES OF HERBS.
00:10:26.06\00:10:30.10
WHEN THE EARTH WAS COVERED WITH
WATER, WHEN HE SAVED ONE FAMILY
00:10:30.10\00:10:36.33
THAT WAS FAITHFUL, I TELL
YOU TONIGHT THAT IF YOUR FAMILY
00:10:36.33\00:10:41.00
HAD BEEN THE ONLY FAMILY THAT
TRUSTED AND BELIEVED IN GOD,
00:10:41.00\00:10:45.93
HE WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU HOW
TO MAKE SOME CRAFT TO SAVE YOU
00:10:45.93\00:10:49.86
BECAUSE JESUS HONORS THOSE
WHO HONOR HIM, SO HE KNOWS THAT
00:10:49.86\00:10:57.23
WHEN THEY LEAVE THIS BOAT,
THERE WILL BE NO VEGETATION.
00:10:57.23\00:11:04.66
SO, HE SAYS, "HERE'S
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO."
00:11:04.66\00:11:06.90
MOST PEOPLE, IF I WERE TO
ASK YOU, HOW DID THE ANIMALS
00:11:06.90\00:11:09.26
COME TO THE ARK, YOU WOULD
HAVE SAID TWO BY TWO BECAUSE
00:11:09.26\00:11:11.83
THAT'S WHAT YOU LEARNED.
00:11:11.83\00:11:13.30
THEY GAVE YOU A
LITTLE SONG, "AND THE ANIMALS
00:11:13.30\00:11:15.86
CAME TWO BY TWO."
00:11:15.86\00:11:19.16
NOT DISTURBED AT YOU.
00:11:19.16\00:11:21.33
BUT THE FACT IS THE
UNCLEAN ONES CAME TWO BY TWO.
00:11:21.33\00:11:27.20
HE SAID, "BRING THE
CLEAN ONES BY SEVENS, BECAUSE
00:11:27.20\00:11:31.03
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO EAT FOR A WHILE."
00:11:31.03\00:11:35.83
ARE YOU STILL THERE ?
00:11:35.83\00:11:37.80
SO, HE GAVE THEM ENOUGH CLEAN
ANIMALS TO HELP THEM SURVIVE.
00:11:37.80\00:11:44.23
HE SAID, "DON'T BRING
THESE TWO BY TWO, BECAUSE YOU'VE
00:11:44.23\00:11:46.33
GOT TO EAT SOME PRETTY SOON."
00:11:46.33\00:11:49.36
I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THE ANIMALS
WERE AWARE OF THE PLAN, BUT
00:11:49.36\00:11:56.86
HERE'S WHAT GOD SAYS AND
YOU'VE GOT TO STICK WITH ME.
00:11:56.86\00:12:00.70
GOD, IN GENESIS, WHEN CREATION
WAS STILL FRESH IN MEMORY,
00:12:00.70\00:12:07.93
SAID THERE ARE SOME ANIMALS
THAT ARE CLEAN, AND THERE
00:12:07.93\00:12:11.63
ARE SOME THAT ARE UNCLEAN.
00:12:11.63\00:12:18.36
OKAY, THIS USED TO
BE SO HORRIBLE, BUT NOW
00:12:18.36\00:12:22.76
IT'S KIND OF FUN.
00:12:22.76\00:12:25.40
WHEN YOU SEE THAT SOME ANIMALS
WERE CREATED TO BE SCAVENGERS...
00:12:25.40\00:12:38.16
I WAS ONCE AN AQUARIST.
00:12:38.16\00:12:41.83
THAT'S A CUTE WORD FOR
SOMEONE WHO HAS A FISH TANK.
00:12:41.83\00:12:48.80
I WENT AND CHOSE MY FISH
AND FINALLY, THE GENTLEMAN
00:12:48.80\00:12:52.13
WHO WAS ADDING THINGS
PRETTY REGULARLY SAID, "YOU'VE
00:12:52.13\00:12:54.90
GOT TO GET SOME CATFISH."
00:12:54.90\00:12:58.36
I SAID, "BUT I DON'T LIKE THEM.
00:12:58.36\00:12:59.83
I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK."
00:12:59.83\00:13:01.16
HE SAID, "WELL, IF YOU WANT
TO KEEP THAT TANK CLEAN, YOU'VE
00:13:01.16\00:13:03.60
GOT TO GET SOME CATFISH."
00:13:03.60\00:13:04.46
"I DON'T WANT ANY,
I DON'T LIKE THEM."
00:13:04.46\00:13:06.80
HE SAID, "BUT CATFISH
WILL CLEAN THE TANK FOR YOU."
00:13:06.80\00:13:11.60
I'M NOT GOING TO
GET INDELICATE WITH YOU.
00:13:11.60\00:13:14.16
I USED TO PREACH THIS SERMON
IN A FAR DIFFERENT WAY, BUT THE
00:13:14.16\00:13:17.36
FACT IS THAT GOD CREATED
SOME FISH, SOME BIRDS AND SOME
00:13:17.36\00:13:22.50
ANIMALS TO CLEAN THE EARTH.
00:13:22.50\00:13:26.76
ALL RIGHT ?
00:13:26.76\00:13:28.73
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET
00:13:28.73\00:13:31.20
SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THAT
IF GOD MADE AN ANIMAL AND SAID,
00:13:31.20\00:13:33.86
"THIS ONE IS UNCLEAN,"--I
DON'T WANT THAT ONE.
00:13:33.86\00:13:40.53
DON'T WANT THAT ONE.
00:13:40.53\00:13:42.13
IF ANYBODY KNOWS IF HE'S CLEAN
OR UNCLEAN, IS GOD THE ONE ?
00:13:42.13\00:13:46.46
SO HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS, AND I'M
GOING TO TELL YOU THIS AND HOPE
00:13:46.46\00:13:49.76
YOU GO HOME AND DO RESEARCH.
00:13:49.76\00:13:51.16
IF YOU GO TO READ IN LEVITICUS
11; IF YOU READ IN DEUTERONOMY
00:13:51.16\00:13:58.60
14, YOU WILL FIND A LISTING
OF ANIMALS, FISH AND BIRDS
00:13:58.60\00:14:07.56
THAT ARE UNCLEAN.
00:14:07.56\00:14:09.33
AND I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU
A LITTLE TIME BY TELLING YOU
00:14:09.33\00:14:11.56
THAT HERE ARE SOME OF THEM:
SWINE'S FLESH; PORK, HAM, BACON,
00:14:11.56\00:14:26.63
AH, I COULD GO DOWN A LONG LIST;
I'VE GOT ONE, BUT THE FLESH
00:14:26.63\00:14:31.40
OF THE PIG IS UNCLEAN.
00:14:31.40\00:14:34.70
AMONG THOSE THINGS THAT
MOVE IN THE SEA, SEAFOOD:
00:14:34.70\00:14:38.60
SHELLFISH ARE UNCLEAN.
00:14:38.60\00:14:40.80
CRAB--I'M IN MARYLAND, I'M IN
MARYLAND, BUT I'VE GOT TO PREACH
00:14:40.80\00:14:49.80
THE TRUTH: CRAB, LOBSTER,
SHRIMP, CRAYFISH, CATFISH,
00:14:49.80\00:14:57.26
EEL, SHARK, TURTLE--UNCLEAN.
00:14:57.26\00:15:03.43
UNCLEAN.
00:15:03.43\00:15:05.13
GOD MADE THEM TO SCAVENGE AND
CLEAN THE EARTH, AND THE FACT IS
00:15:05.13\00:15:10.63
THAT EVEN IF YOU FIND WHICH ONES
ARE CLEAN, AND LET ME SAY THIS
00:15:10.63\00:15:16.13
GENTLY, BUT YOU NEED TO HEAR IT.
00:15:16.13\00:15:18.33
THERE ARE SOME OF THE FOWL THAT
WERE IN THE CLEAN CATEGORY, AND
00:15:18.33\00:15:23.93
IN CERTAIN COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART,
00:15:23.93\00:15:28.66
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT
THE CHICKEN IS AMONG THEM.
00:15:28.66\00:15:33.33
AH, YOU'RE JUST BEING
QUIET BECAUSE YOU KNOW
00:15:33.33\00:15:35.30
WHERE I WAS GOING.
00:15:35.30\00:15:38.46
AND LAMB AND BEEF ARE
AMONG THOSE, BUT LET ME TELL YOU
00:15:38.46\00:15:42.50
WHAT I'VE COME TO KNOW.
00:15:42.50\00:15:43.86
FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU'RE
GOING TO EAT EVEN CLEAN ANIMALS,
00:15:43.86\00:15:48.20
LEVITICUS 17:14 SAYS YOU
MUST NOT EAT THE BLOOD, BECAUSE
00:15:48.20\00:15:56.76
IN THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE OF
THE CREATURE, AND YOU MUST NOT
00:15:56.76\00:16:00.53
LET THAT COME INTO YOUR BODY
BECAUSE IT CARRIES THE LIFE.
00:16:00.53\00:16:06.40
THEN YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
THAT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT
00:16:06.40\00:16:10.56
ARE DELETERIOUS TO YOUR
BODY, NOT JUST WHAT YOU EAT, AND
00:16:10.56\00:16:15.33
I'VE CLEANED UP A FEW.
00:16:15.33\00:16:17.20
BUT IF YOU STUDY IN THOSE
CHAPTERS, YOU WILL SEE THAT SOME
00:16:17.20\00:16:21.96
ANIMALS SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN.
00:16:21.96\00:16:25.03
THERE ARE SOME
BEVERAGES THAT SHOULD NEVER GO
00:16:25.03\00:16:28.76
INTO THE HUMAN BODY.
00:16:28.76\00:16:29.80
GO TO PROVERBS, CHAPTER 20.
00:16:29.80\00:16:32.46
PROVERBS, CHAPTER 20,
AND LET'S LOOK AT VERSE 1:
00:16:32.46\00:16:37.03
IN FACT, IF YOU GO TO
PROVERBS CHAPTER 23, YOU'LL
00:16:50.36\00:16:54.10
FIND A LITTLE BIT MORE.
00:16:54.10\00:16:55.73
I USED TO DO IT IN A HARSH
FASHION, BUT ALMOST EVERYBODY
00:16:55.73\00:16:59.03
KNOWS THIS ALREADY.
00:16:59.03\00:17:01.46
THIS IS PROVERBS 23:29.
00:17:01.46\00:17:04.30
IT SAYS:
00:17:04.30\00:17:05.73
OH, I COULD DESCRIBE THAT !
00:17:15.80\00:17:17.60
THE FACT IS THAT
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE NOT GOOD
00:17:31.86\00:17:36.10
FOR THE HUMAN BODY AND
GOD SAID SO IN THE WORD.
00:17:36.10\00:17:39.36
NOW THERE IS SOME NEW
INFORMATION THAT I'M SURE
00:17:39.36\00:17:41.90
EVERYBODY HAS HEARD BY NOW.
00:17:41.90\00:17:44.23
THEY SAY IF YOU TAKE ALITTLE
WINE, JUST MODERATE WINE, IT
00:17:44.23\00:17:51.83
CAN BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEART.
00:17:51.83\00:17:54.83
AND I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE
REJOICED TO HEAR THIS NEWS.
00:17:54.83\00:18:00.53
WELL, LET ME READ YOU SOMETHING
NOT FROM THE BIBLE, BUT
00:18:00.53\00:18:04.43
FROM THE SCIENTISTS.
00:18:04.43\00:18:06.53
THIS IS FROM RONALD WATSON,
PHD, PROFESSOR AT THE COLLEGE
00:18:06.53\00:18:10.33
OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT UNIVERSITY
00:18:10.33\00:18:12.93
OF ARIZONA IN TUCSON.
00:18:12.93\00:18:15.66
HE WAS THE FORMER HEAD
OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE
00:18:15.66\00:18:18.50
ON ALCOHOL ABUSE AND
ALCOHOLISM FOR SIX YEARS.
00:18:18.50\00:18:21.43
HE SAYS, "I AND THE N.I.H.
00:18:21.43\00:18:24.80
CONCLUDE THAT INCREASING ALCOHOL
USE WILL BENEFIT A FEW BY
00:18:24.80\00:18:30.76
LOWERING HEART DISEASE A LITTLE,
WHILE INCREASING THE CHANCES OF
00:18:30.76\00:18:35.53
DAMAGE TO MANY BY ADDICTION."
00:18:35.53\00:18:42.06
DR. RONNIE A. BELL, PHD, M.S.,
AT WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY SCHOOL
00:18:42.06\00:18:46.80
OF MEDICINE IN WINSTON-SALEM,
NORTH CAROLINA, SAYS THIS, AND
00:18:46.80\00:18:50.46
IT'S A LITTLE MORE CONCLUSIVE,
"ALCOHOL IS BY NO MEANS A SAFE
00:18:50.46\00:18:55.30
DRUG, NOR SOMETHING THAT CAN
IN ANY WAY BE RECOMMENDED FOR
00:18:55.30\00:19:00.06
HEALTH PROMOTION, SUGGESTING
THAT ALCOHOL IS SOMEHOW
00:19:00.06\00:19:03.90
BENEFICIAL IS SO OUTWEIGHED BY
ITS TOXICITY AS TO BE CRIMINAL."
00:19:03.90\00:19:12.30
WHAT THEY'VE DISCOVERED
IS THAT THE BENEFITS THAT YOU
00:19:12.30\00:19:15.06
CAN GET FROM A LITTLE
WINE, YOU CAN GET FROM A LITTLE
00:19:15.06\00:19:19.13
GRAPE JUICE, AND THERE IS
NO WORRY ABOUT BEING ADDICTED.
00:19:19.13\00:19:29.56
FRIENDS OF MINE, LET'S BE REAL.
00:19:29.56\00:19:32.53
THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE KNOW
FOR SURE HARM THE HUMAN BODY:
00:19:32.53\00:19:37.43
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES,
ILLEGAL AND NON-PRESCRIPTION
00:19:37.43\00:19:40.70
DRUGS, EVEN CAFFEINE.
00:19:40.70\00:19:44.03
I SAW THE OTHER NIGHT AN
ATHLETE WHO SAID, "YOU MUST
00:19:44.03\00:19:48.66
NEVER TAKE IN CAFFEINE !"
00:19:48.66\00:19:50.93
HE WAS SO ADAMANT ABOUT
IT I WENT BACK AND LOOKED
00:19:50.93\00:19:53.43
AT MY RESEARCH TO
MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD.
00:19:53.43\00:19:56.53
HE SAID IT MAKES
YOUR HEART BEAT FASTER.
00:19:56.53\00:19:59.33
HE SAID IT AFFECTS
NEGATIVELY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:19:59.33\00:20:02.76
HE SAID, "I COULD NEVER
FUNCTION AS AN ATHLETE PUTTING
00:20:02.76\00:20:05.63
CAFFEINE IN MY BODY."
00:20:05.63\00:20:07.16
BUT YOU FIND IT IN TEA, COFFEE,
COLA AND OTHER SOFT DRINKS,
00:20:07.16\00:20:10.46
AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
WHO CAN'T MAKE IT FOR ONE DAY.
00:20:10.46\00:20:18.53
BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS
TAKING FROM YOUR OWN HEALTH.
00:20:18.53\00:20:23.76
AND HERE IS ALL I'VE
GOT TO TELL YOU TONIGHT.
00:20:23.76\00:20:28.53
DON'T LET ME TRY
AND BE A PHYSICIAN.
00:20:28.53\00:20:31.86
I'M NOT ONE.
00:20:31.86\00:20:34.23
EVERYONE IN THE SOUND OF
MY VOICE KNOWS THAT SMOKING IS
00:20:34.23\00:20:40.46
DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
00:20:40.46\00:20:42.40
EVEN BEING IN THE PLACE
WHERE OTHERS ARE SMOKING, SIDE
00:20:42.40\00:20:48.10
STREAM SMOKE IS
DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
00:20:48.10\00:20:52.50
SO IF YOU KNOW THAT TOBACCO,
ALCOHOL AND EVEN CERTAIN KINDS
00:20:52.50\00:20:59.10
OF FOOD, EVEN ANIMALS, AND
LET ME TELL YOU, WE HAVE COME
00:20:59.10\00:21:02.76
TO THE TIME NOW WHERE THE
SYSTEM FOR KEEPING THE SUPPLY
00:21:02.76\00:21:09.06
OF MEAT CLEAN IS FLAWED.
00:21:09.06\00:21:14.50
I DON'T WANT TO TRAUMATIZE
YOU WITH STORIES ABOUT MAD COW.
00:21:14.50\00:21:19.90
I DON'T WANT TO REMIND
YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW ABOUT
00:21:19.90\00:21:22.30
THE PROCESSING OF CHICKEN,
CLEAN MEATS, BUT HANDLED
00:21:22.30\00:21:27.00
IN A FASHION THAT IS
DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
00:21:27.00\00:21:30.20
WE HAVE COME TO THE POINT WHERE
YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR HAMBURGER
00:21:30.20\00:21:34.40
COOKED AT A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE
FOR A CERTAIN LENGTH OF TIME OR
00:21:34.40\00:21:38.80
A HAMBURGER COULD MAKE YOU SICK.
00:21:38.80\00:21:42.56
IF WE ARE THERE, LET ME GET
REAL WITH YOU FOR JUST A MINUTE.
00:21:42.56\00:21:48.56
MY BODY DOESN'T BELONG TO ME.
00:21:48.56\00:21:53.53
THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS
LET'S COME TO THE FACTS, JESUS
00:21:53.53\00:22:00.13
MADE YOU, AND I'M
FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE.
00:22:00.13\00:22:04.03
IT'S AMAZING WHAT
THE HUMAN BODY CAN DO !
00:22:04.03\00:22:06.83
YOU, YOURSELF,
CAN'T IMAGINE SOME OF THE
00:22:06.83\00:22:09.70
THINGS YOUR BODY CAN DO.
00:22:09.70\00:22:11.20
YOUR BODY CAN TAKE FOODS;
IT CAN TAKE NOT EVEN ENOUGH
00:22:11.20\00:22:14.20
WATER; IT CAN TAKE NOT
EVEN ENOUGH NOURISHMENT.
00:22:14.20\00:22:16.96
IT CAN PROCESS IT IN A CERTAIN
WAY THAT BUILDS UP YOUR IMMUNE
00:22:16.96\00:22:20.26
SYSTEM AND YOUR BODY FIGHTS
OFF DISEASE WITH NO DOCTOR.
00:22:20.26\00:22:26.40
GOD HAS MADE US SO WONDERFUL.
00:22:26.40\00:22:29.53
THERE'S A PHYSICIAN FRIEND OF
MINE WHO MAY BE IN THIS AUDIENCE
00:22:29.53\00:22:32.06
TONIGHT WHO TELLS ME ALL
THE TIME HE CAN CURE DISEASES
00:22:32.06\00:22:36.36
SIMPLY BY CHANGING THE DIET.
00:22:36.36\00:22:38.56
THERE ARE CERTAIN KINDS
OF CANCER THAT HE HAS CURED
00:22:38.56\00:22:41.96
SIMPLY BY CHANGING THE
DIET, GOING TO THE DIET THAT GOD
00:22:41.96\00:22:46.70
SAID YOU OUGHT TO USE.
00:22:46.70\00:22:51.83
ON THE CONTRARY, IF YOU
PLAY HAVOC WITH WHAT YOU EAT,
00:22:51.83\00:22:57.83
AND LET ME TELL YOU
IT'S GOTTEN DANGEROUS, NOW.
00:22:57.83\00:23:01.43
I WAS IN A COMMUNITY IN
ATLANTA, AND THERE WAS A FRIEND
00:23:01.43\00:23:05.30
OF MINE WHO WAS WORKING FOR
THE MAJOR NEWSPAPER IN ATLANTA,
00:23:05.30\00:23:09.56
AND HE SAID, "PASTOR, WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO, I'M GOING TO
00:23:09.56\00:23:11.90
MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A PROPHET."
00:23:11.90\00:23:13.53
I SAID, "YEAH ?"
00:23:13.53\00:23:16.06
HE SAID, "YES, WHAT I'LL
DO WHEN I GET SOMETHING OFF
00:23:16.06\00:23:18.20
THE WIRE THAT'S NOT EVEN
OUT YET, I'LL BRING IT TO YOU AS
00:23:18.20\00:23:21.86
SOON AS I CAN CONFIRM IT."
00:23:21.86\00:23:23.63
HE SAID, "MENTION IT BEFORE
YOUR CONGREGATION AND THEY
00:23:23.63\00:23:27.10
WILL GO AROUND SAYING,
'OUR PASTOR IS A PROPHET.'"
00:23:27.10\00:23:32.96
I SAID, "I LIKE THAT."
00:23:32.96\00:23:35.70
ONE DAY HE CAME TO ME AND HE
SAID, "LOOK, THIS ISN'T FUNNY."
00:23:35.70\00:23:40.13
HE SHOWED ME AN ARTICLE WHERE
RESEARCH HAD BEEN DONE THAT
00:23:40.13\00:23:43.06
DISCOVERED THAT THE WATER
IN THE EARTH IN SOME PLACES HAS
00:23:43.06\00:23:47.40
BECOME SO POLLUTED THAT EVEN
MELONS WERE CARRYING SALMONELLA.
00:23:47.40\00:23:57.46
I SAID, "WELL, WHAT
CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS ?"
00:23:57.46\00:23:59.83
HE SAID, "PASTOR,
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO."
00:23:59.83\00:24:03.63
YOU'VE GOT TO BE MORE CAREFUL
THAN EVER ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT.
00:24:03.63\00:24:09.26
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
TO GET THE BEST FOOD, AND YOU
00:24:09.26\00:24:13.30
KNOW, IT'S SAD, BUT THE
BEST FOOD ALWAYS COSTS MORE.
00:24:13.30\00:24:18.96
THE STUFF THAT WILL KILL
YOU, YOU CAN GET FOR A SONG.
00:24:18.96\00:24:24.53
THEY'LL HAVE A SALE
IN THE MORNING ON IT.
00:24:24.53\00:24:28.46
BUT THE BREAD AND THE NUTS AND
THE FRUITS, YOU'VE GOT TO PAY.
00:24:28.46\00:24:35.10
IT SEEMS ALMOST UNFAIR.
00:24:35.10\00:24:37.66
HOWEVER, GOD HAS
DONE THIS AMAZING THING.
00:24:37.66\00:24:43.13
HE HAS ARRANGED IT SO
THAT SOME OF THE BEST FOODS
00:24:43.13\00:24:47.30
AVAILABLE YOU CAN GET WITHOUT
GIGANTIC EXPENDITURES, BUT
00:24:47.30\00:24:53.93
WE HAVE GOT TO GET REAL.
00:24:53.93\00:24:55.20
LET'S END WITH THIS THOUGHT:
IF MY BODY BELONGS TO GOD,
00:24:55.20\00:25:03.30
I CAN'T PLAY HAVOC WITH IT.
00:25:03.30\00:25:06.70
I'VE GOT TO PUT IN IT
ONLY THE BEST AND I'VE GOT TO
00:25:06.70\00:25:10.16
MAKE SURE OF THAT
BECAUSE MY BODY IS NOT MY OWN.
