Hello, and welcome to
Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:00:39.00\00:00:41.24
I'm Chris Shelton, your host.
00:00:41.27\00:00:42.60
I wanna thank
you for joining us.
00:00:42.64\00:00:44.61
Today's message is entitled
"The Bible's Path to Health."
00:00:44.64\00:00:48.58
And it is lesson
21 out of 25 studies
00:00:48.61\00:00:51.38
that we're presenting
from this Bible study guide
00:00:51.41\00:00:54.78
that is entitled
00:00:54.82\00:00:56.15
"Sharing God's
Love Makes You Happier,
00:00:56.18\00:00:58.39
What the Bible Says."
00:00:58.42\00:01:00.19
This study guide was compiled
by Brother Richard Bland
00:01:00.22\00:01:03.19
of United Prison Ministries.
00:01:03.22\00:01:05.33
And, friends,
miracles have taken place
00:01:05.36\00:01:08.20
during the
airing of this series.
00:01:08.23\00:01:10.40
Just recently a viewer called in
00:01:10.43\00:01:12.73
and shared that after
watching lesson number 10,
00:01:12.77\00:01:16.14
that was entitled
00:01:16.17\00:01:17.51
"Take Control and Quit Smoking,"
00:01:17.54\00:01:19.44
that he began to
pray about the message
00:01:19.47\00:01:21.84
he had just
heard and claim victory
00:01:21.88\00:01:24.45
from the habit of
smoking and drinking,
00:01:24.48\00:01:26.88
that had held him in
bondage for over 50 years.
00:01:26.92\00:01:31.19
Nothing, absolutely nothing
that he had ever tried before
00:01:31.22\00:01:35.52
had ever worked,
00:01:35.56\00:01:36.89
but being led of the Holy Spirit
00:01:36.93\00:01:38.99
this time to pray to God.
00:01:39.03\00:01:41.66
After hearing this message,
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.23
he is now rejoicing in the fact
00:01:43.26\00:01:45.70
that the grips
of these addictions
00:01:45.73\00:01:47.57
were totally taken
from him after his prayer.
00:01:47.60\00:01:51.21
And it has been two
weeks after viewing the message
00:01:51.24\00:01:54.38
that he finally called
in, gave his testimony,
00:01:54.41\00:01:57.31
sharing with us that
after watching the program
00:01:57.35\00:02:00.58
that he no longer
even had the desire
00:02:00.62\00:02:04.12
to smoke or to drink
00:02:04.15\00:02:05.49
and we are just
praising God along with him.
00:02:05.52\00:02:08.49
And I'm expecting
00:02:08.52\00:02:09.86
lives to be changed
after today's message
00:02:09.89\00:02:11.99
just as well.
00:02:12.03\00:02:13.36
Why, you may ask.
00:02:13.40\00:02:14.73
Because God has
promised in His Word
00:02:14.76\00:02:17.23
that His Word would not return
00:02:17.27\00:02:19.30
to Him void.
00:02:19.33\00:02:20.87
Let's read this
promises found in Isaiah 55:11.
00:02:20.90\00:02:26.81
"So shall my word
be that goeth forth
00:02:26.84\00:02:29.84
out of my mouth,
00:02:29.88\00:02:31.21
it shall not
return unto me void,
00:02:31.25\00:02:33.62
but it shall
accomplish that which I please,
00:02:33.65\00:02:38.02
and it shall prosper
00:02:38.05\00:02:39.39
and the thing
whereto I sent it."
00:02:39.42\00:02:41.76
We are claiming
that promise today
00:02:41.79\00:02:45.19
as we study "The
Bible's Path to Health."
00:02:45.23\00:02:48.96
And we know that God's
purpose for His children
00:02:49.00\00:02:52.30
is to prepare us to be
citizens in His kingdom.
00:02:52.33\00:02:56.17
Therefore, we can be
assured that His path to health
00:02:56.20\00:03:00.14
is most certainly the path
that we should be following.
00:03:00.18\00:03:04.28
But before we join
Pastor Kenny Shelton,
00:03:04.31\00:03:06.55
let's visit 3ABN
for a blessing in music,
00:03:06.58\00:03:10.29
as sung by Pastor John Lomacang
and Celestine Berry-Dickens
00:03:10.32\00:03:15.49
entitled "Gentle Healer."
00:03:15.52\00:03:18.03
Gentle Healer came
00:03:25.50\00:03:28.04
Into our town today
00:03:28.07\00:03:32.71
He touched blind eyes
00:03:32.74\00:03:35.08
And the darkness left to stay
00:03:35.11\00:03:40.92
But more than the blindness
00:03:40.95\00:03:44.59
He took their sins away
00:03:44.62\00:03:47.72
Gentle Healer came
00:03:47.76\00:03:50.46
Into our town today
00:03:50.49\00:03:53.46
Gentle Healer came
00:03:58.80\00:04:01.47
Into our town today
00:04:01.50\00:04:05.97
He spoke one word
00:04:06.01\00:04:08.14
That was all He had to say
00:04:08.18\00:04:12.28
And the one who had died
00:04:12.31\00:04:15.15
Just rose up straight away
00:04:15.18\00:04:20.82
The Gentle Healer came
00:04:20.86\00:04:23.73
Into our town today
00:04:23.76\00:04:27.40
Oh, He seems
00:04:43.14\00:04:45.01
Like just an ordinary man
00:04:45.05\00:04:51.02
With dirty feet and rough
00:04:51.05\00:04:53.96
But gentle hands
00:04:53.99\00:04:58.63
But the words He says
00:04:58.66\00:05:00.60
They're hard to understand
00:05:00.63\00:05:05.07
And, yet, He seems
like just an ordinary man
00:05:05.10\00:05:11.01
The Gentle Healer
00:05:16.14\00:05:19.05
He left our town today
00:05:19.08\00:05:23.59
I just looked around and found
00:05:23.62\00:05:27.42
He'd gone away
00:05:27.46\00:05:30.03
Some folks from
town Who followed Him
00:05:30.06\00:05:34.43
They say
00:05:34.46\00:05:39.83
The Gentle Healer is the truth,
00:05:39.87\00:05:43.37
The life, the way
00:05:43.41\00:05:47.41
The Gentle Healer is the truth,
00:05:47.44\00:05:51.81
The life
00:05:51.85\00:05:55.18
The way
00:05:55.22\00:05:58.05
Hello, and welcome once again
00:06:01.29\00:06:02.69
at Behold the Lamb Ministry.
00:06:02.72\00:06:04.06
We appreciate
you tuning in today.
00:06:04.09\00:06:06.06
You know, it's a
wonderful, wonderful blessing,
00:06:06.09\00:06:08.23
you know, be able
to stay the Word of God
00:06:08.26\00:06:09.70
and some of
these beautiful truths
00:06:09.73\00:06:11.20
that God has given to us.
00:06:11.23\00:06:13.00
Today, as you've
already been mentioned,
00:06:13.03\00:06:14.50
we're gonna be
studying the Word of God,
00:06:14.54\00:06:16.40
that what the Bible has
to say the path to health.
00:06:16.44\00:06:19.57
Everyone wants to be healthy.
00:06:19.61\00:06:21.34
I think there's no
question about that.
00:06:21.38\00:06:23.45
So before we
get into this study,
00:06:23.48\00:06:25.25
and we always have prayer.
00:06:25.28\00:06:26.61
But I wanna just give you
a little bit of background,
00:06:26.65\00:06:28.95
a little bit of a foundation
00:06:28.98\00:06:30.79
that we can build upon
as we do this study together
00:06:30.82\00:06:33.36
before prayer.
00:06:33.39\00:06:35.06
I went to www.healthline.com.
00:06:35.09\00:06:38.79
This is what the...
00:06:38.83\00:06:40.46
I'm gonna say nice as
I can, the world's view,
00:06:40.50\00:06:43.43
this is not Adventist
review, or somebody else's,
00:06:43.47\00:06:47.10
whatever it might
be of this subject,
00:06:47.14\00:06:49.54
but it's just, you know,
out there in the health line,
00:06:49.57\00:06:51.91
here's what they
had to say about health.
00:06:51.94\00:06:53.71
This is why we're doing
this subject, by the way,
00:06:53.74\00:06:56.21
is that a
balanced diet is important
00:06:56.24\00:06:59.41
because your
organs and your tissues
00:06:59.45\00:07:02.85
need proper
nutrition to work effectively.
00:07:02.88\00:07:06.45
Notice the wording.
00:07:06.49\00:07:07.82
Without good nutrition,
00:07:07.86\00:07:09.29
your body is
more prone to disease,
00:07:09.32\00:07:12.56
infection, fatigue,
and poor performance.
00:07:12.59\00:07:17.53
Notice this,
00:07:17.57\00:07:18.90
this poor
performance can lead over
00:07:18.93\00:07:20.57
into our young people
00:07:20.60\00:07:21.94
in their
academics at school too.
00:07:21.97\00:07:24.37
And they can also pursue
you for the rest of your life.
00:07:24.41\00:07:27.81
So we wanna look at this subject
00:07:27.84\00:07:29.61
because we find out
there's rising levels
00:07:29.64\00:07:32.58
of all of these diseases,
00:07:32.61\00:07:34.28
things that we've talked about,
things that we will talk about,
00:07:34.32\00:07:36.85
as we go along in this study.
00:07:36.89\00:07:38.32
This is very interesting
00:07:38.35\00:07:39.69
but two things that
this study brought out.
00:07:39.72\00:07:41.52
It said, there's two things,
00:07:41.56\00:07:42.89
the levels of the weight
gain and diabetes in America,
00:07:42.92\00:07:46.39
notice this, are
prime examples of poor diet
00:07:46.43\00:07:50.57
and lack of exercise.
00:07:50.60\00:07:52.77
See, some people say,
"Well, you do this study
00:07:52.80\00:07:54.70
because it's a, you know,
00:07:54.74\00:07:56.07
this is what your
church believes and so on."
00:07:56.10\00:07:57.47
We're talking
about the world has given
00:07:57.51\00:07:58.84
this information right here.
00:07:58.87\00:08:00.81
This is the Center of
Science in Public Interest
00:08:00.84\00:08:05.18
made this statement here.
00:08:05.21\00:08:06.72
It reports that 4
00:08:06.75\00:08:09.05
out of the top 10
leading causes of death
00:08:09.08\00:08:13.12
in the United States
00:08:13.15\00:08:14.96
is directly influenced by diet.
00:08:14.99\00:08:18.26
Kind of interesting, isn't it?
00:08:18.29\00:08:19.76
And they
mentioned as we well know,
00:08:19.79\00:08:21.70
number one is heart
disease, number two is cancer,
00:08:21.73\00:08:24.50
number three is stroke,
number four is diabetes.
00:08:24.53\00:08:28.80
Here's what they said.
00:08:28.84\00:08:30.17
They said what we
need is a balanced diet.
00:08:30.21\00:08:33.01
This is what the
world was saying.
00:08:33.04\00:08:34.38
They're not
bringing in the Bible.
00:08:34.41\00:08:35.74
They're just bringing them out,
00:08:35.78\00:08:37.11
you know, the things
that they've studied,
00:08:37.15\00:08:38.48
people, the cases
that's coming to the hospital.
00:08:38.51\00:08:40.05
They say we
need a balanced diet.
00:08:40.08\00:08:42.08
And here's what they said.
00:08:42.12\00:08:43.45
They said number one,
you need a lot of fruits,
00:08:43.49\00:08:45.89
you need
vegetables, you need grains,
00:08:45.92\00:08:48.99
and you need protein.
00:08:49.02\00:08:50.36
And I thought was very
interesting with protein
00:08:50.39\00:08:52.19
because you can go a
lot of different directions.
00:08:52.23\00:08:54.20
But even beside
where it said protein,
00:08:54.23\00:08:56.23
they said this on a diet.
00:08:56.26\00:08:58.13
A good source of
protein are nuts and beans,
00:08:58.17\00:09:03.10
peas and lentils, and seeds.
00:09:03.14\00:09:06.98
I thought that was pretty neat
00:09:07.01\00:09:08.34
for the world to come up
and say through our studies,
00:09:08.38\00:09:10.75
they're coming back to
what God has said where?
00:09:10.78\00:09:13.28
In His Words.
00:09:13.31\00:09:14.72
I thought how interesting
that is we do our study,
00:09:14.75\00:09:17.02
the Bible's path to health.
00:09:17.05\00:09:18.42
Let's pray, shall we
00:09:18.45\00:09:19.79
as we study the
Word of God together?
00:09:19.82\00:09:21.82
Merciful Father in Heaven,
00:09:21.86\00:09:23.19
thank You for
Your precious Word.
00:09:23.22\00:09:24.56
We ask now that Your Holy Spirit
00:09:24.59\00:09:26.26
will have Your
will and Your way.
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.03
Pray that You'll illuminate
these beautiful truths
00:09:28.06\00:09:29.83
in our hearts and our mind.
00:09:29.86\00:09:31.20
Help us to understand the
importance of sound bodies,
00:09:31.23\00:09:33.97
to have sound minds
00:09:34.00\00:09:35.34
that we may
make sound decisions.
00:09:35.37\00:09:36.87
Thank You, Lord, for
hearing and answering prayer,
00:09:36.91\00:09:38.57
in Jesus' name. Amen.
00:09:38.61\00:09:41.74
Again, always
have pencil and paper
00:09:41.78\00:09:43.24
and jot down as we
move quickly along,
00:09:43.28\00:09:45.25
you know, time goes by,
00:09:45.28\00:09:46.61
at least to me very quickly
as we study the Word of God,
00:09:46.65\00:09:48.82
so much information,
Bible's pathway to health.
00:09:48.85\00:09:52.65
I've heard it said and I think
00:09:52.69\00:09:54.02
you might have
heard this saying before.
00:09:54.06\00:09:55.49
They said, "Man
made imitation foods,"
00:09:55.52\00:09:58.76
man made what?
00:09:58.79\00:10:00.13
"Imitation foods are
fine for imitation people."
00:10:00.16\00:10:05.10
Kind of an interesting
thought, notice that.
00:10:05.13\00:10:07.14
So really we look at
today information is empowering,
00:10:07.17\00:10:11.04
is it not?
00:10:11.07\00:10:12.41
So we're getting a lot
of information out there,
00:10:12.44\00:10:14.14
we need to dissect it and
information in God's Word.
00:10:14.18\00:10:17.81
Does God have a plan
00:10:17.85\00:10:19.75
that we might be
healthy and happy Christians,
00:10:19.78\00:10:22.78
live longer?
00:10:22.82\00:10:24.15
I think He absolutely does.
00:10:24.19\00:10:25.55
You know, one study,
00:10:25.59\00:10:27.26
it's said that our
land has been depleted.
00:10:27.29\00:10:30.06
You know, this is
what grows our crops,
00:10:30.09\00:10:31.69
the things that we
eat has been depleted
00:10:31.73\00:10:33.86
of most of the
minerals that are in it.
00:10:33.90\00:10:36.40
And it simply have been
depleted not only by erosion,
00:10:36.43\00:10:39.63
but by farming the land.
00:10:39.67\00:10:42.34
Farmers usually
replace only three minerals.
00:10:42.37\00:10:46.04
Now thinking about that,
00:10:46.07\00:10:47.71
that's leaving
dozens of minerals out,
00:10:47.74\00:10:50.15
but they replaced
three main minerals here,
00:10:50.18\00:10:53.88
nitrogen,
phosphorus, and also potassium.
00:10:53.92\00:10:57.49
Now, why?
00:10:57.52\00:10:58.85
Because they want to have these,
00:10:58.89\00:11:00.49
help produce rich crops.
00:11:00.52\00:11:02.96
Not necessarily
saying, it's all healthy
00:11:02.99\00:11:05.39
because we're now
mineral deficient,
00:11:05.43\00:11:08.83
as far back as 1936.
00:11:08.86\00:11:11.30
This is why this subject
is important about our health.
00:11:11.33\00:11:14.34
Back as what? Thirty six.
00:11:14.37\00:11:16.00
That would be what?
Eighty some odd years.
00:11:16.04\00:11:19.11
They made this statement.
00:11:19.14\00:11:20.48
Notice the one
report stated this.
00:11:20.51\00:11:22.34
It said, "The farm soils
are depleted of minerals,"
00:11:22.38\00:11:27.02
notice this, "crops
grown and eaten by people
00:11:27.05\00:11:31.92
become mineral
deficient and subject,"
00:11:31.95\00:11:35.72
notice this,
00:11:35.76\00:11:37.09
"to mineral deficient diseases."
00:11:37.13\00:11:40.53
Kind of interesting, isn't it?
00:11:40.56\00:11:42.26
The United
States Surgeon General
00:11:42.30\00:11:45.23
in his report said this,
00:11:45.27\00:11:47.17
"Almost 70," listen carefully,
00:11:47.20\00:11:49.20
"almost 70% of all diseases
00:11:49.24\00:11:53.71
is diet related."
00:11:53.74\00:11:57.75
That's interesting, isn't it?
00:11:57.78\00:11:59.21
Diet related.
00:11:59.25\00:12:00.58
So it's very, very important
00:12:00.62\00:12:01.95
to see what
God's plan is for us,
00:12:01.98\00:12:04.69
a lot of disease in the world.
00:12:04.72\00:12:06.99
You know, every time our body,
00:12:07.02\00:12:08.89
if you think about
it, all I'm up here,
00:12:08.92\00:12:10.59
every time my hands
go up and they go down,
00:12:10.63\00:12:12.79
or you nod your head
or whatever you might,
00:12:12.83\00:12:14.90
you smile.
00:12:14.93\00:12:16.43
Every time the body
moves, it uses energy.
00:12:16.46\00:12:19.97
And so the energy
00:12:20.00\00:12:21.34
or it's not using
energy as it were, it still is,
00:12:21.37\00:12:23.67
it's breaking down
tissue that needs to be rebuilt.
00:12:23.71\00:12:27.88
Think about that.
00:12:27.91\00:12:29.24
And so it's rebuilt
by the food that we eat.
00:12:29.28\00:12:33.38
Think about it.
00:12:33.42\00:12:34.75
But now, not all
foods are good to be,
00:12:34.78\00:12:37.42
we know that, we
have to look them over.
00:12:37.45\00:12:39.89
All foods are not to
nourish these things that,
00:12:39.92\00:12:42.32
you know, that nourishment
that we need in our body.
00:12:42.36\00:12:45.29
So we might be able
to say today good habits.
00:12:45.33\00:12:48.76
Hopefully you
have some good habits
00:12:48.80\00:12:50.77
when it comes to eating.
00:12:50.80\00:12:52.87
Good habits can
lead to good health.
00:12:52.90\00:12:56.14
But on the other
side of the coin,
00:12:56.17\00:12:57.74
evil habits can lead to what?
00:12:57.77\00:12:59.57
Certainly bad
health, we know that.
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.14
Just give you a couple of...
00:13:02.18\00:13:03.51
These are very
simple illustrations
00:13:03.55\00:13:05.11
for instance, and you
say, "Well, I didn't know that
00:13:05.15\00:13:06.98
or oh, well, we've
known that for years."
00:13:07.02\00:13:09.05
You know, if you
think about a stomach needs,
00:13:09.08\00:13:11.79
our stomach and
digestive organs need rest.
00:13:11.82\00:13:14.82
And so we need to be careful
00:13:14.86\00:13:16.19
that we don't
eat in between meals,
00:13:16.22\00:13:18.23
and it has to rest
in order to be healthy.
00:13:18.26\00:13:22.80
How many think about
millions of people have what?
00:13:22.83\00:13:25.50
Digestion problem,
00:13:25.53\00:13:27.14
prominent
problems with the stomach.
00:13:27.17\00:13:29.87
Could possibly would be one
00:13:29.90\00:13:31.57
that we're not letting
it, get its proper rest.
00:13:31.61\00:13:34.31
You know, we eat a lot at night,
00:13:34.34\00:13:35.78
we go to bed, we
might go to sleep.
00:13:35.81\00:13:38.11
The stomach is what?
00:13:38.15\00:13:39.48
Process of
working, working, working,
00:13:39.51\00:13:41.25
about time you wake
up, you put more in it,
00:13:41.28\00:13:43.05
it's working, working.
00:13:43.08\00:13:44.42
It never gets its rest.
00:13:44.45\00:13:45.79
It needs to rest
like we rest at night.
00:13:45.82\00:13:48.76
Another interesting,
if we eat or drink things,
00:13:48.79\00:13:52.09
let's say too hot,
00:13:52.13\00:13:54.76
we eat too many spices,
00:13:54.80\00:13:57.67
you know, could be
pepper or whatever it might be
00:13:57.70\00:14:00.94
because we love these things.
00:14:00.97\00:14:02.44
But you know, they really,
they irritate the stomach.
00:14:02.47\00:14:05.27
Now there's just little
things we're throwing out.
00:14:05.31\00:14:06.64
So you can say,
00:14:06.68\00:14:08.01
"I'm having
irritation in the stomach."
00:14:08.04\00:14:09.38
It just might be some
very little simple things
00:14:09.41\00:14:10.98
that we are putting on,
00:14:11.01\00:14:12.35
or maybe too much of it
that can cause some problems.
00:14:12.38\00:14:15.08
Also, if we drink
cold drinks, what happens?
00:14:15.12\00:14:19.65
Before the stomach
can use that cold drink,
00:14:19.69\00:14:22.06
it has to warm it
up first for digestion.
00:14:22.09\00:14:25.06
So it makes it work, work, work.
00:14:25.09\00:14:28.06
Today, I think we can be safe
00:14:28.10\00:14:30.10
to say most people want to have,
00:14:30.13\00:14:32.50
want to be healthy.
00:14:32.53\00:14:34.00
They want to be healthy.
00:14:34.04\00:14:36.14
And if we do,
00:14:36.17\00:14:37.81
if I said
somebody raise your hand,
00:14:37.84\00:14:39.41
if you want to be healthy,
00:14:39.44\00:14:40.78
everybody probably
would raise our hand.
00:14:40.81\00:14:43.01
But if we raise our hand
today, we want to be healthy,
00:14:43.04\00:14:45.88
then we must be willing
00:14:45.91\00:14:47.78
to do something about it, right?
00:14:47.82\00:14:50.75
We have to be willing
to do something about it,
00:14:50.79\00:14:53.36
something to bring it about.
00:14:53.39\00:14:55.32
It's not just, oh, I'm going to
00:14:55.36\00:14:56.69
and then just do
what we want to do.
00:14:56.73\00:14:58.89
I think it's in Book
of Ephesians Chapter 6,
00:14:58.93\00:15:01.20
the Bible says, verse 13,
00:15:01.23\00:15:03.23
basically the bottom at
the end of that passage,
00:15:03.26\00:15:05.10
it says, "Having
done all to stand."
00:15:05.13\00:15:08.50
God expects us to do what?
00:15:08.54\00:15:10.91
Do all that we understand
00:15:10.94\00:15:12.61
and know so that we
might have health of body
00:15:12.64\00:15:16.04
and health of mind.
00:15:16.08\00:15:17.45
So it's not just
saying, "Oh, we do this,
00:15:17.48\00:15:19.11
we're better
than somebody else."
00:15:19.15\00:15:20.62
This is God's plan
00:15:20.65\00:15:21.98
that we might be
healthy Christians.
00:15:22.02\00:15:24.45
So people that God can
use to finish the work.
00:15:24.49\00:15:27.96
We want to live
longer. We want to be happier.
00:15:27.99\00:15:31.36
We don't want to
mistreat our bodies.
00:15:31.39\00:15:33.80
Do we realize,
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.16
if we're taking
things into our body
00:15:35.20\00:15:36.53
that's not good for us,
00:15:36.56\00:15:37.90
we are mistreating our bodies?
00:15:37.93\00:15:40.74
No one would want
to mistreat your body
00:15:40.77\00:15:42.74
because you know, and
I know when you're sick,
00:15:42.77\00:15:44.71
you don't want to be sick.
00:15:44.74\00:15:46.54
You don't like it
because you're sick.
00:15:46.57\00:15:48.51
And it may be because
00:15:48.54\00:15:49.88
and then sometimes
sickness and things go around,
00:15:49.91\00:15:51.61
but sometime, maybe something
we've taken into our body.
00:15:51.65\00:15:54.68
So God says, you
know, be careful,
00:15:54.72\00:15:57.75
and I think I've
neglected every one of these,
00:15:57.79\00:16:00.29
and so I'm trying
by the grace of God
00:16:00.32\00:16:01.72
to do better,
00:16:01.76\00:16:03.09
and that's what we do.
00:16:03.12\00:16:04.46
Rather than be in
denial, we look and say,
00:16:04.49\00:16:06.26
there can be some improvement.
00:16:06.29\00:16:08.83
Never say, "Oh, I
can't improve it more
00:16:08.86\00:16:10.20
on doing that."
00:16:10.23\00:16:11.57
No, there can
always be improvement.
00:16:11.60\00:16:13.67
So God wants us
to have good habits
00:16:13.70\00:16:15.60
when it comes to working.
00:16:15.64\00:16:18.07
Huh?
00:16:18.11\00:16:19.44
Working, and
eating and drinking.
00:16:19.47\00:16:22.04
It makes a difference.
00:16:22.08\00:16:23.45
Work too much, you
can break down your system
00:16:23.48\00:16:25.28
just as if you're
already eating the wrong things
00:16:25.31\00:16:28.02
because we're told in the Bible.
00:16:28.05\00:16:29.58
I love this in
Genesis 1:27, it simply say,
00:16:29.62\00:16:33.29
"When God made
us," he made us what?
00:16:33.32\00:16:36.39
"Into His, in His image."
00:16:36.42\00:16:39.76
That means you're special.
00:16:39.79\00:16:41.56
He made you in His image,
not anything else in the world,
00:16:41.60\00:16:45.23
but just God's
creation, His people.
00:16:45.27\00:16:47.77
He made him in His image.
00:16:47.80\00:16:49.24
And that goes
along with Psalms 139.
00:16:49.27\00:16:51.21
Just jot it down
quickly, Psalms 139:14.
00:16:51.24\00:16:55.71
I like the way it starts out.
00:16:55.74\00:16:57.08
It says, "I will praise," what?
00:16:57.11\00:16:59.81
"I will praise thee,
00:16:59.85\00:17:01.18
for I am fearfully
and wonderfully," what?
00:17:01.22\00:17:04.55
"Made."
00:17:04.59\00:17:05.92
Notice the words, I
am fearfully, that means,
00:17:05.95\00:17:08.62
notice this word,
be careful with it,
00:17:08.66\00:17:10.09
I am exceedingly great.
00:17:10.13\00:17:13.83
That sound like,
"Whoo! I'm exceedingly great."
00:17:13.86\00:17:15.76
We're given the praise
to the Creator, aren't we?
00:17:15.80\00:17:18.10
It says here,
you're exceedingly great
00:17:18.13\00:17:20.00
because God created you.
00:17:20.04\00:17:22.54
That's wonderful special touch
from the hand of the Creator,
00:17:22.57\00:17:26.04
how wonderful it is.
00:17:26.07\00:17:27.41
You're wonderfully made
00:17:27.44\00:17:28.98
and I think
certainly in other word
00:17:29.01\00:17:30.35
there is marvelous
as we read the passage.
00:17:30.38\00:17:32.25
You are marvelously made.
00:17:32.28\00:17:35.08
Marvelously there
or wonderfully means
00:17:35.12\00:17:37.29
you are set apart.
00:17:37.32\00:17:39.45
God touched you, God
made you, He set you a part.
00:17:39.49\00:17:42.76
He distinguished you
from everything else,
00:17:42.79\00:17:45.46
isn't that wonderful?
00:17:45.49\00:17:46.83
"And marvelous are thy works."
00:17:46.86\00:17:49.80
See, there's a reason
why we're studying this
00:17:49.83\00:17:52.07
but a good
foundation lets us understand,
00:17:52.10\00:17:54.27
why we need to get on
this maybe more healthy diet,
00:17:54.30\00:17:57.87
something that will
help us to live for Jesus.
00:17:57.91\00:18:00.84
The Psalmist is
telling us something here
00:18:00.88\00:18:03.11
that we just read.
00:18:03.14\00:18:05.51
Once again, how
wonderful and how great
00:18:05.55\00:18:08.95
is the human body?
00:18:08.98\00:18:10.89
Think about the human body,
00:18:10.92\00:18:12.59
and all the things that it takes
00:18:12.62\00:18:14.26
millions of things
to function together
00:18:14.29\00:18:16.32
to have the mind and the
body and every function of it,
00:18:16.36\00:18:19.33
to work the way God
would have it to work.
00:18:19.36\00:18:21.40
It takes millions of
things working together,
00:18:21.43\00:18:24.10
it couldn't just have happened.
00:18:24.13\00:18:25.87
There had to be a
Creator, no doubt about it.
00:18:25.90\00:18:28.87
But when the
Psalmist wrote these,
00:18:28.90\00:18:30.24
I thought so exciting.
00:18:30.27\00:18:31.61
When the Psalmist said,
00:18:31.64\00:18:32.97
you know, we're
wonderfully made here,
00:18:33.01\00:18:34.44
we're fearfully made here.
00:18:34.48\00:18:36.38
Think about the
years that have passed,
00:18:36.41\00:18:38.71
and now all of science
that has come back and said,
00:18:38.75\00:18:42.28
the body is wonderfully made.
00:18:42.32\00:18:45.55
We have all of us now saying,
00:18:45.59\00:18:46.92
we just can't
believe all of these things
00:18:46.96\00:18:48.72
how they're working together.
00:18:48.76\00:18:50.63
It proves that we
were made by the Creator.
00:18:50.66\00:18:54.06
How wonderful that is.
00:18:54.10\00:18:55.86
The first question
in our study simply says
00:18:55.90\00:18:57.97
what is the desire
of our Heavenly Father
00:18:58.00\00:19:01.44
in regard to our
physical well being?
00:19:01.47\00:19:04.01
Now if we know
that God has a desire
00:19:04.04\00:19:06.64
or He wants us
to be a certain way,
00:19:06.68\00:19:08.91
shouldn't we be interested?
00:19:08.94\00:19:10.38
Yes. Yes!
00:19:10.41\00:19:11.75
Take the Bible,
00:19:11.78\00:19:13.11
and this is the
one that everybody gets
00:19:13.15\00:19:14.48
in every health talk.
00:19:14.52\00:19:15.85
Yeah, I think you probably
would start out with it.
00:19:15.88\00:19:17.65
Is it 3 John 2?
00:19:17.69\00:19:20.26
3 John 2, the Bible
said, notice this, "Beloved,
00:19:20.29\00:19:25.86
beloved, I wish," what?
00:19:25.89\00:19:27.96
"Above all things
that thou mayest prosper
00:19:28.00\00:19:31.10
and be in health, even
as thy soul prospereth."
00:19:31.13\00:19:36.40
So it's a combination of things,
00:19:36.44\00:19:38.41
that things that
are going on here
00:19:38.44\00:19:39.97
that we need to kind of,
00:19:40.01\00:19:41.34
I think, put
together just a little bit.
00:19:41.38\00:19:43.14
Number one, the Lord
is mindful of my needs.
00:19:43.18\00:19:47.32
He's mindful of your needs,
00:19:47.35\00:19:48.98
before you ask, He
knows all about it.
00:19:49.02\00:19:52.52
And we're talking about
not only temporal needs,
00:19:52.55\00:19:55.62
but spiritual needs.
00:19:55.66\00:19:57.29
He's mindful of both,
and then He says, here,
00:19:57.33\00:20:00.16
I want you to do
something here in the spiritual.
00:20:00.20\00:20:02.66
2 Timothy 2:15, He says,
"Study to shew thyself," what?
00:20:02.70\00:20:07.60
"Approved."
00:20:07.64\00:20:08.97
He's mindful of our physical,
He's mindful of our spiritual.
00:20:09.00\00:20:11.77
But He says, "Kenny,
what I want you to do
00:20:11.81\00:20:13.54
is learn to
study the Word of God."
00:20:13.58\00:20:16.34
This is good.
This comes together.
00:20:16.38\00:20:18.65
And it gels
together, and it should,
00:20:18.68\00:20:20.58
because God said that it does.
00:20:20.62\00:20:23.35
I believe this
with all my heart,
00:20:23.39\00:20:24.72
God wants us to be happy.
00:20:24.75\00:20:26.32
He doesn't want us to
go around with long faces.
00:20:26.35\00:20:28.86
He doesn't want us to
go around with our chin
00:20:28.89\00:20:31.03
dragging on this sidewalk.
00:20:31.06\00:20:32.56
All you do is gonna
get a scab on your chin.
00:20:32.59\00:20:34.53
You know, what I'm
talking about here.
00:20:34.56\00:20:36.20
You know,
sometimes there are reasons,
00:20:36.23\00:20:37.70
some time there's sadness,
but you understand what I mean?
00:20:37.73\00:20:40.20
We should be happy
because we got up this morning.
00:20:40.24\00:20:43.71
We should be happy
because we're walking around.
00:20:43.74\00:20:46.61
We should be happy
that we came to church
00:20:46.64\00:20:48.41
on the seventh day Sabbath.
00:20:48.44\00:20:49.88
We should be happy
and give Him praise
00:20:49.91\00:20:51.61
that you can think
00:20:51.65\00:20:52.98
and still make
decisions for Him.
00:20:53.01\00:20:54.72
You can be happy
because probation is still open
00:20:54.75\00:20:57.22
and the doors and we have
an opportunity to come to Him.
00:20:57.25\00:20:59.99
We should be happy
today and praising God,
00:21:00.02\00:21:02.89
because we have an opportunity
00:21:02.92\00:21:04.56
where we have
fouled up to make it right.
00:21:04.59\00:21:07.20
That's exciting to me.
00:21:07.23\00:21:09.60
Think about it,
we've had the opportunity,
00:21:09.63\00:21:11.33
the door's not shut yet,
that we can come and say,
00:21:11.37\00:21:14.04
"Oh, I've messed
up miserably, God."
00:21:14.07\00:21:15.40
And He's gonna say,
00:21:15.44\00:21:16.77
"Well, yes, I
know, but come on."
00:21:16.81\00:21:18.27
He said to me,
"Kenny, just redeem the time?"
00:21:18.31\00:21:21.04
Didn't go back and give me
a whip and you see about it.
00:21:21.08\00:21:23.91
He didn't go back
criticizing and condemning.
00:21:23.95\00:21:25.65
"Why'd you do all of that?"
00:21:25.68\00:21:27.02
He just said, "Redeem the time."
00:21:27.05\00:21:28.38
That means pick
up from that moment
00:21:28.42\00:21:29.88
and just march on.
00:21:29.92\00:21:31.25
That's good news.
00:21:31.29\00:21:32.79
God wants us to be happy.
00:21:32.82\00:21:34.82
He daily, He sends us
blessings after blessings.
00:21:34.86\00:21:38.09
There's not room
enough to receive us.
00:21:38.13\00:21:40.13
And sometimes all we do
is dwell on the negative
00:21:40.16\00:21:43.00
and the things
that could happen,
00:21:43.03\00:21:44.57
that might happen.
00:21:44.60\00:21:45.93
I'm dwelling on those things
that I know is gonna happen
00:21:45.97\00:21:48.14
based on the Word of
God because it's good.
00:21:48.17\00:21:51.51
There's such a close connection,
00:21:51.54\00:21:53.38
we know between the
mind and the body, right?
00:21:53.41\00:21:57.01
The mind and the body
close connection there.
00:21:57.05\00:22:00.48
When the soul, no
soul prospers about it,
00:22:00.52\00:22:03.18
you know the by
passage just said,
00:22:03.22\00:22:05.09
the body is better
able to be healthy.
00:22:05.12\00:22:08.79
Does that make sense?
00:22:08.82\00:22:10.43
When you have a
smile and you're happy
00:22:10.46\00:22:12.13
and you have a
good attitude, right?
00:22:12.16\00:22:15.13
The body seemed to be healthier.
00:22:15.16\00:22:17.13
You get along a lot better.
00:22:17.17\00:22:19.03
In Proverbs 14:30,
the Bible says this,
00:22:19.07\00:22:22.10
jot it down quickly,
00:22:22.14\00:22:23.47
Proverbs 14:30.
00:22:23.51\00:22:25.61
Now notice this, it says,
00:22:25.64\00:22:26.98
"The heart or a sound heart
00:22:27.01\00:22:30.41
is the life of the flesh."
00:22:30.45\00:22:33.01
Now we realize as we go on
00:22:33.05\00:22:34.38
and read some
other about the blood,
00:22:34.42\00:22:35.75
you know, in the life and so on.
00:22:35.78\00:22:37.12
But notice this passage,
00:22:37.15\00:22:38.49
"A sound heart is
the life of the flesh."
00:22:38.52\00:22:41.96
Now let's reverse
that just for a moment.
00:22:41.99\00:22:44.16
If you don't mind, reverse.
00:22:44.19\00:22:45.59
"An unsound
heart," what happens?
00:22:45.63\00:22:48.76
"Is the death of the flesh."
00:22:48.80\00:22:51.20
Does that makes sense?
00:22:51.23\00:22:52.57
And it's
talking about the blood.
00:22:52.60\00:22:54.40
It's talking about
the blood, the heart
00:22:54.44\00:22:55.80
because it pumps what?
00:22:55.84\00:22:57.17
Blood to every, you
know, avenue of the body,
00:22:57.21\00:23:00.51
you know, the mind too and also.
00:23:00.54\00:23:02.34
And we know this old saying
00:23:02.38\00:23:03.81
that we've
heard all of our life.
00:23:03.85\00:23:05.18
I heard it when I were young,
00:23:05.21\00:23:06.55
they couldn't prove it
like they can prove it today,
00:23:06.58\00:23:08.55
always could
from the Word of God
00:23:08.58\00:23:09.95
because it's always been there.
00:23:09.98\00:23:11.99
But man always said,
00:23:12.02\00:23:13.76
"Now you're gonna
be what you eat, son."
00:23:13.79\00:23:16.93
You gonna eat all this junk,
00:23:16.96\00:23:18.29
you're gonna
turn out thinking...
00:23:18.33\00:23:20.16
Okay, you know
what I'm talking about.
00:23:20.20\00:23:23.23
Yeah, you are what you eat.
00:23:23.26\00:23:25.20
Think about.
00:23:25.23\00:23:26.57
And a lot of us just kind of,
you know, we think it's funny.
00:23:26.60\00:23:28.64
"Well, yeah, we are..."
00:23:28.67\00:23:30.01
But we still go ahead
because we let our senses
00:23:30.04\00:23:32.71
and our smell and think whatever
00:23:32.74\00:23:34.71
lead us to do things
we know we shouldn't do.
00:23:34.74\00:23:38.01
And I wanna be that
part of our study today
00:23:38.05\00:23:40.22
as we need to be careful.
00:23:40.25\00:23:41.58
I have said it many times.
00:23:41.62\00:23:42.95
And God forgive me from
00:23:42.98\00:23:44.32
and I'm not
gonna be saying that,
00:23:44.35\00:23:45.69
you know, I'll say, "Well,
I know it's not good for me,
00:23:45.72\00:23:48.29
but I'm gonna eat it anyway
00:23:48.32\00:23:49.66
because it looks
good, it smells good..."
00:23:49.69\00:23:52.06
Okay, all right, it's all right.
00:23:52.09\00:23:54.53
How many times
have we maybe said that
00:23:54.56\00:23:57.87
more of a joking
way and so on so far?
00:23:57.90\00:24:00.44
But you realize how
sensitive the Word of God...
00:24:00.47\00:24:03.17
May I use that word sensitive?
00:24:03.20\00:24:04.54
The Word of God
is on that subject.
00:24:04.57\00:24:07.21
Think about. I know
it's not good for me.
00:24:07.24\00:24:10.55
But where do we stand between,
00:24:10.58\00:24:15.88
you know, between us
and God at that point?
00:24:15.92\00:24:18.45
Him that know what to do good
and do it not, to him it is?
00:24:18.49\00:24:21.02
To Him, it is sin.
00:24:21.06\00:24:23.86
You know, just
think about the statements
00:24:23.89\00:24:26.26
as we study
here, Proverbs 14:30,
00:24:26.29\00:24:28.73
"Sound heart is," what?
00:24:28.76\00:24:30.10
"Life of the flesh."
00:24:30.13\00:24:31.47
Ministry of
Healing, in page 241,
00:24:31.50\00:24:34.67
it's just a little line here.
00:24:34.70\00:24:36.04
Notice what it said.
00:24:36.07\00:24:37.41
I like it because
it talks about courage.
00:24:37.44\00:24:39.64
"We need courage
to live in this world.
00:24:39.67\00:24:42.58
We need hope in this world.
00:24:42.61\00:24:45.31
We need faith in this world.
00:24:45.35\00:24:47.48
We need sympathy at times.
00:24:47.52\00:24:49.55
We need love."
00:24:49.58\00:24:51.89
You know, what it does?
00:24:51.92\00:24:53.96
These little words that
I just use promote health
00:24:53.99\00:24:57.66
and prolong life.
00:24:57.69\00:24:59.76
Did you get it?
00:24:59.79\00:25:01.13
It prolongs the life.
00:25:01.16\00:25:03.26
It helps you to be healthy
00:25:03.30\00:25:04.63
if you have love
and you can share love,
00:25:04.67\00:25:06.84
and you have hope
and you have faith.
00:25:06.87\00:25:09.24
You find people who
are discouraged really,
00:25:09.27\00:25:11.17
you find their life is shortened
00:25:11.21\00:25:12.54
because they're discouraged,
00:25:12.57\00:25:13.91
and they're down
and out all the time.
00:25:13.94\00:25:15.64
I choose by the grace of God,
do I look on the bright side
00:25:15.68\00:25:18.61
to know who
sits upon the throne,
00:25:18.65\00:25:20.25
who's ruling the universe,
00:25:20.28\00:25:21.78
who's promised
He's gonna be with us.
00:25:21.82\00:25:23.35
He's not gonna leave us,
He's not gonna forsake us.
00:25:23.39\00:25:25.85
I'm gonna supply all your needs,
00:25:25.89\00:25:28.12
according to
His riches in glory.
00:25:28.16\00:25:31.66
He didn't say some pauper.
00:25:31.69\00:25:33.09
He didn't say this
parable of the rich man,
00:25:33.13\00:25:34.73
he said, "I'm gonna to
supply and I own everything.
00:25:34.76\00:25:38.23
You want
everything, I've got it."
00:25:38.27\00:25:40.34
Man, that's when we go
to, praise God for that.
00:25:40.37\00:25:43.30
Proverbs 17:22,
notice moving on,
00:25:43.34\00:25:45.97
you know this, Proverbs 17:22.
00:25:46.01\00:25:48.08
When I started out,
you finish it with me.
00:25:48.11\00:25:49.88
The Bible says, "A merry
heart doeth good like a..."
00:25:49.91\00:25:54.32
Now the notice
the word translated,
00:25:54.35\00:25:55.78
a merry heart
says a rejoicing heart.
00:25:55.82\00:25:59.29
A what kind of
heart? A rejoicing heart.
00:25:59.32\00:26:01.72
You can't be
rejoicing with a long face.
00:26:01.76\00:26:04.76
You can't be
rejoicing with a heavy heart.
00:26:04.79\00:26:06.73
We realized there are
times for all of these things.
00:26:06.76\00:26:09.46
There's time for tears.
00:26:09.50\00:26:10.83
There's times a heavy heart,
00:26:10.87\00:26:12.20
but we did take those to
God and we give them to Him
00:26:12.23\00:26:14.77
and He cleans up
this mess for us.
00:26:14.80\00:26:17.61
Praise God for that.
00:26:17.64\00:26:19.17
Merry heart doeth
good like a medicine.
00:26:19.21\00:26:22.34
Interesting from the...
00:26:22.38\00:26:24.11
On the net you can go there,
00:26:24.15\00:26:25.58
it's
WilmingtonHealth.Care says this,
00:26:25.61\00:26:29.55
oh, lot of information
00:26:29.58\00:26:30.92
but notice just
this line what it says,
00:26:30.95\00:26:33.32
"Going along with the Bible,
00:26:33.36\00:26:35.82
blood is vital to the life."
00:26:35.86\00:26:40.26
Remember we talked
about a sound heart,
00:26:40.30\00:26:42.66
the blood here they're going on
00:26:42.70\00:26:44.83
and the, you know,
the doctors, right?
00:26:44.87\00:26:48.70
Scientists are
looking and they're saying,
00:26:48.74\00:26:50.54
"Oh, my, you know,
blood is vital to life."
00:26:50.57\00:26:54.54
The Bible said
that in Leviticus 17,
00:26:54.58\00:26:56.81
you remember, verse 11.
00:26:56.85\00:26:58.18
It says here,
00:26:58.21\00:26:59.55
"For the life of the
flesh is in the blood."
00:26:59.58\00:27:02.22
"For the life of," what?
00:27:02.25\00:27:04.55
"The flesh is in the blood."
00:27:04.59\00:27:06.42
What is it the first
thing that doctor wants to do
00:27:06.45\00:27:08.76
when you go and
you've got an ailment?
00:27:08.79\00:27:11.29
First thing they
do is get the needle.
00:27:11.33\00:27:14.76
Don't let that
scare you. That's good.
00:27:14.80\00:27:16.53
The first thing they
wanna do is check your what?
00:27:16.56\00:27:19.37
Your blood.
00:27:19.40\00:27:20.97
Because the blood
just reveals things
00:27:21.00\00:27:23.47
that's going on
inside your body,
00:27:23.51\00:27:25.44
that's not showing yet.
00:27:25.47\00:27:27.21
We all need a blood test.
00:27:27.24\00:27:28.74
It's all right.
00:27:28.78\00:27:30.55
We need a heart test.
00:27:30.58\00:27:32.11
We need a spiritual test.
00:27:32.15\00:27:34.22
You see, we need to be examining
00:27:34.25\00:27:36.79
the Word of God
to see where we fit,
00:27:36.82\00:27:38.45
whether we're in
the faith or not.
00:27:38.49\00:27:40.66
And we can examine the
blood because that's it.
00:27:40.69\00:27:43.46
Remember, the life is
what? Is in the blood.
00:27:43.49\00:27:46.16
So then what you eat,
when you eat it goes, what?
00:27:46.19\00:27:48.66
Gets into the
bloodstream, doesn't it?
00:27:48.70\00:27:51.23
And then it's distributed
00:27:51.27\00:27:52.60
to the different
sections of your body.
00:27:52.63\00:27:54.84
Thought very
interesting with that.
00:27:54.87\00:27:56.81
We must remember that
00:27:56.84\00:27:58.37
when the health of
the body is neglected.
00:27:58.41\00:28:01.41
Here we get into, notice.
00:28:01.44\00:28:02.84
When the health of
the body is neglected,
00:28:02.88\00:28:05.75
what happens?
00:28:05.78\00:28:07.12
We become sick.
00:28:07.15\00:28:09.98
Yeah, we become sick
00:28:10.02\00:28:11.39
or when we neglect our health
00:28:11.42\00:28:13.62
and we by bad habits,
00:28:13.66\00:28:16.22
it also affects
our spiritual life.
00:28:16.26\00:28:19.33
You see?
00:28:19.36\00:28:20.70
Interesting, it affects us
00:28:20.73\00:28:22.36
bad habits in
eating or drinking,
00:28:22.40\00:28:24.73
all of a sudden it
affects us spiritually.
00:28:24.77\00:28:27.80
Now think about it.
00:28:27.84\00:28:30.51
The religious life suffers,
none of us want that for sure.
00:28:30.54\00:28:35.04
In the study about the
Bible, in the path to health,
00:28:35.08\00:28:38.51
we need a good balance.
00:28:38.55\00:28:40.12
Let's do this. You
know, it's more about them.
00:28:40.15\00:28:42.28
Most people say,
when you do health,
00:28:42.32\00:28:43.65
you gonna say, "Well,
this is what we're gonna study,
00:28:43.69\00:28:45.29
we're gonna eat this,
we're not gonna eat this,
00:28:45.32\00:28:46.79
we're gonna do this,
we're gonna do that."
00:28:46.82\00:28:48.16
There's a platform
00:28:48.19\00:28:49.52
that's being
laid here, say, why?
00:28:49.56\00:28:51.79
Why should we eat certain things
00:28:51.83\00:28:53.76
and maybe certain
things we should not eat?
00:28:53.80\00:28:56.46
Is it proven in
the medical field now?
00:28:56.50\00:28:58.47
Yes, it is
00:28:58.50\00:28:59.83
as the Word of
God always said it.
00:28:59.87\00:29:01.20
Yes, it always has.
00:29:01.24\00:29:02.87
Is God's way the best
or is man's ways the best?
00:29:02.90\00:29:05.67
This is what we're deciding.
00:29:05.71\00:29:07.04
And we'll have to
make a decision on that.
00:29:07.08\00:29:09.44
So I assume that we need a
good balance between the two,
00:29:09.48\00:29:14.25
number one, a good health plan.
00:29:14.28\00:29:17.62
A good health plan.
00:29:17.65\00:29:18.99
We lay it out, well,
how we wanna be healthy
00:29:19.02\00:29:20.69
and what God says
in order to be healthy,
00:29:20.72\00:29:22.59
this is what we need
to take into our body.
00:29:22.62\00:29:24.93
And then we also need
a good spiritual plan.
00:29:24.96\00:29:28.03
And I wanna call it a
spiritual advancement plan,
00:29:28.06\00:29:31.83
because our spiritual
plan should always be what?
00:29:31.87\00:29:35.30
Advancing.
00:29:35.34\00:29:36.67
See, if you're sitting today
00:29:36.71\00:29:38.04
and your spiritual
plans going backwards,
00:29:38.07\00:29:39.81
you're on the wrong road,
you're making the wrong choice.
00:29:39.84\00:29:42.61
Things are going wrong.
00:29:42.64\00:29:43.98
Something's
happening in our life,
00:29:44.01\00:29:45.71
because our plan spiritually
should always be advancing,
00:29:45.75\00:29:50.19
advancing.
00:29:50.22\00:29:51.55
God never said stop.
00:29:51.59\00:29:52.92
God said go.
00:29:52.95\00:29:54.46
This is just what it's all about
00:29:54.49\00:29:55.82
when we look here, so
we need that kind of a plan
00:29:55.86\00:29:58.59
that will help us
to prepare for heaven,
00:29:58.63\00:30:01.46
while we're also what?
00:30:01.50\00:30:02.83
Getting the right think,
so we can think properly,
00:30:02.86\00:30:05.23
make right decisions,
00:30:05.27\00:30:06.60
how the two work
together so closely.
00:30:06.63\00:30:10.01
You know, praise God for that.
00:30:10.04\00:30:11.57
What a plan! We need that plan.
00:30:11.61\00:30:14.34
Now here's God's plan for us.
00:30:14.38\00:30:16.41
Have your Bible.
00:30:16.44\00:30:17.78
Be sure and turn
quickly here with me,
00:30:17.81\00:30:19.15
the New Testament in John.
00:30:19.18\00:30:20.58
I think somebody
talked about this today
00:30:20.62\00:30:22.35
for just a moment.
00:30:22.38\00:30:23.72
But anyway, I'm gonna
talk about it right now.
00:30:23.75\00:30:25.35
John 10.
00:30:25.39\00:30:28.89
I think I'm in Romans,
I better get back to John.
00:30:28.92\00:30:33.66
This is one that
people quote all the time.
00:30:33.70\00:30:36.20
But let's just dig
in just a little bit.
00:30:36.23\00:30:38.90
Now, I'm gonna read the
last part of John 10:10.
00:30:38.93\00:30:42.64
Because notice this,
00:30:42.67\00:30:44.01
God's plan for us is given
to in John 10:10 in a nutshell.
00:30:44.04\00:30:49.28
God's plan for us,
notice what it says,
00:30:49.31\00:30:51.75
"I am come that
they may have life
00:30:51.78\00:30:55.18
and they may
have it more," what?
00:30:55.22\00:30:57.35
"Abundantly."
00:30:57.39\00:30:58.75
God's plan for us
is that you have life
00:30:58.79\00:31:01.36
and you have it more abundantly.
00:31:01.39\00:31:03.12
And the word abundantly means,
00:31:03.16\00:31:05.26
it means, a super,
00:31:05.29\00:31:08.10
abundantly super bound.
00:31:08.13\00:31:12.03
There's excess of it.
00:31:12.07\00:31:13.74
There's more than
enough to go around.
00:31:13.77\00:31:15.47
I love that.
00:31:15.50\00:31:17.41
One word there translated
said, there's leftovers.
00:31:17.44\00:31:20.44
Somebody's not
gonna get that one.
00:31:20.48\00:31:22.34
Yeah, there's leftovers.
00:31:22.38\00:31:23.71
God's doing plan,
explain everything
00:31:23.75\00:31:25.28
that you can
possibly need more abundant
00:31:25.31\00:31:27.42
and there's leftovers.
00:31:27.45\00:31:28.78
Praise God, they're spare.
00:31:28.82\00:31:32.32
That's how God
were, He doesn't say,
00:31:32.35\00:31:33.69
"Oh, I cut it little short.
00:31:33.72\00:31:35.06
Somebody's gonna
have to do without."
00:31:35.09\00:31:36.42
Somebody pray.
00:31:39.23\00:31:40.76
Now that's Christ
plan for us, is that right?
00:31:40.80\00:31:44.07
That's Christ plan.
00:31:44.10\00:31:45.43
But the first part of that verse
00:31:45.47\00:31:46.80
is the devil's plan.
00:31:46.84\00:31:48.17
Remember if God
has a plan, what?
00:31:48.20\00:31:50.27
If God has a
plan, you can be sure
00:31:50.31\00:31:52.07
that the enemy has his plan.
00:31:52.11\00:31:54.28
He waits till
God reveals His plan
00:31:54.31\00:31:55.84
and says, "Oh, now I
know what I need to do."
00:31:55.88\00:31:59.01
John 10:10, the Bible said,
"The thief," who's the thief?
00:31:59.05\00:32:02.32
The enemy.
00:32:02.35\00:32:03.69
"The enemy cometh not
00:32:03.72\00:32:05.05
but for steal, to
kill and to," what?
00:32:05.09\00:32:08.62
"To destroy."
00:32:08.66\00:32:09.99
So the enemy's plan,
is going to kill you.
00:32:10.03\00:32:11.43
He's wanna destroy you.
00:32:11.46\00:32:12.79
He doesn't care how he does it.
00:32:12.83\00:32:14.16
If he can do it in
things you take into your body
00:32:14.20\00:32:16.06
that you eat and you
drink, you breath, you snort,
00:32:16.10\00:32:18.77
whatever you might
do, somebody with me.
00:32:18.80\00:32:20.74
He doesn't care.
00:32:20.77\00:32:22.10
He wants to make sure
your life is shortened.
00:32:22.14\00:32:24.14
And make sure that
you can't find Jesus here
00:32:24.17\00:32:26.74
about the one that says there,
00:32:26.78\00:32:28.44
"I've come that
they may have life
00:32:28.48\00:32:29.94
and they may have it abundantly.
00:32:29.98\00:32:31.51
There's leftover."
00:32:31.55\00:32:33.48
Jesus said in the Book of
Luke, it's a beautiful chapter.
00:32:33.52\00:32:36.89
Luke 12:23.
00:32:36.92\00:32:39.25
Notice this, notice, Luke 12:23.
00:32:39.29\00:32:42.69
"The life is more than meat."
00:32:42.72\00:32:45.03
Now notice this,
00:32:45.06\00:32:46.39
Bible students
there and we should
00:32:46.43\00:32:48.03
but when you're beginning
sometime, it's difficult.
00:32:48.06\00:32:50.27
When the Bible
says, "Meat all the time,"
00:32:50.30\00:32:52.33
it doesn't mean flesh food.
00:32:52.37\00:32:54.17
You've got to look at.
00:32:54.20\00:32:55.54
Here translate,
the Bible said here,
00:32:55.57\00:32:57.07
the life is more than food.
00:32:57.11\00:32:59.81
That's the proper word here.
00:32:59.84\00:33:02.01
Life is more than food.
00:33:02.04\00:33:04.41
"The body is more than raiment."
00:33:04.45\00:33:07.42
Jesus just put it
down line and said,
00:33:07.45\00:33:08.92
don't you realize
life is much more important
00:33:08.95\00:33:11.05
than the things you
put into this bodies.
00:33:11.09\00:33:12.69
Be careful, you know,
you got to be careful with it
00:33:12.72\00:33:14.99
because as I
mentioned while ago,
00:33:15.02\00:33:16.46
some people
will just simply say,
00:33:16.49\00:33:18.39
"I choose food
because it tastes good.
00:33:18.43\00:33:20.63
I choose food
because it looks good.
00:33:20.66\00:33:22.70
I choose food
because it tastes good,
00:33:22.73\00:33:25.10
not because it's good for me."
00:33:25.13\00:33:26.90
My dad said a
long, long time ago
00:33:30.81\00:33:32.74
after he had his heart attack,
00:33:32.77\00:33:34.71
he had to change his diet.
00:33:34.74\00:33:38.05
And we couldn't
figure out some time
00:33:38.08\00:33:39.41
when he's eating
some kind of a cereal
00:33:39.45\00:33:41.15
or whatever it might
be at that point in time.
00:33:41.18\00:33:42.75
He go to the faucet
and he'd put water in it.
00:33:42.78\00:33:45.39
"Oh, Dad, come on."
00:33:45.42\00:33:48.12
Somebody not...
00:33:48.16\00:33:49.49
I don't have to go in detail.
00:33:49.52\00:33:51.19
He looked around
several times, he'd say,
00:33:51.23\00:33:53.33
"Hey, I don't eat to live.
00:33:53.36\00:33:56.46
I don't live to eat.
00:33:56.50\00:33:59.80
I eat to live."
00:33:59.83\00:34:01.97
That makes a
difference, doesn't it?
00:34:02.00\00:34:05.04
That's totally opposite
than lot of times that we do
00:34:05.07\00:34:07.38
because the devil makes sure
00:34:07.41\00:34:08.78
that things are
pleasing to the eye
00:34:08.81\00:34:10.71
and the smell and so on,
00:34:10.75\00:34:12.41
and so this is the
things that we want.
00:34:12.45\00:34:15.42
Let me give you example.
00:34:15.45\00:34:16.89
Example, do you remember Eve?
00:34:16.92\00:34:18.92
Yeah.
00:34:18.95\00:34:20.29
What did Eve say?
00:34:20.32\00:34:21.66
Remember about the tree?
00:34:21.69\00:34:23.02
She said she looked at the tree
00:34:23.06\00:34:24.39
of the knowledge
of good and evil,
00:34:24.43\00:34:26.19
and she saw that
it was good for what?
00:34:26.23\00:34:29.10
She saw that it
was good for food
00:34:29.13\00:34:31.10
and it was pleasant to the eye.
00:34:31.13\00:34:35.14
Did you see,
00:34:35.17\00:34:36.50
the enemy was already
working, he's same thing today.
00:34:36.54\00:34:39.24
He said, "Oh,
it's good for food.
00:34:39.27\00:34:40.81
Oh, this is gonna taste
good, and also it looks good."
00:34:40.84\00:34:44.61
Same thing, enemy is
using the plan today,
00:34:44.65\00:34:47.98
we have to be very
careful about that.
00:34:48.02\00:34:52.82
Maybe the lesson
is needed more today
00:34:52.85\00:34:54.86
than it was even needed
00:34:54.89\00:34:56.49
back when Jesus spoke the words,
00:34:56.52\00:34:59.83
pleasant to the
eye, good for food.
00:34:59.86\00:35:03.67
I believe this that God
has placed responsibility
00:35:03.70\00:35:07.14
on every one of us
00:35:07.17\00:35:09.00
to preserve our bodies in
the best condition possible.
00:35:09.04\00:35:12.31
How about you?
00:35:12.34\00:35:13.98
What it is?
00:35:14.01\00:35:15.34
It's not just, "Well, I choose
or I think or if I want to,"
00:35:15.38\00:35:18.98
the Bible is gonna
be so clear with this
00:35:19.01\00:35:21.02
as we study and get time to
get through this right here.
00:35:21.05\00:35:23.59
That is not any
longer, "Well, I choose."
00:35:23.62\00:35:25.32
Now you can choose
do wrong if you want to,
00:35:25.35\00:35:27.09
but there's gonna be a payday
00:35:27.12\00:35:28.99
and maybe not the one
that you're looking for.
00:35:29.02\00:35:30.99
Jesus makes it very
clear because I've created you.
00:35:31.03\00:35:33.96
I've given you life.
00:35:34.00\00:35:35.33
I've taken care of you.
00:35:35.36\00:35:36.70
I'm meeting all your needs,
00:35:36.73\00:35:38.07
but you know
there are conditions
00:35:38.10\00:35:40.27
and He let us so we
have responsibility.
00:35:40.30\00:35:43.44
Remember, bodies, minds, what?
00:35:43.47\00:35:46.17
Working together
00:35:46.21\00:35:48.24
that we might make
right choices for eternity.
00:35:48.28\00:35:52.38
1 Corinthians 6, very
familiar verse 19 and 20.
00:35:52.41\00:35:56.12
1 Corinthians
6:19-20 says, "What?
00:35:56.15\00:36:01.92
Know ye not that
your body is the," what?
00:36:01.96\00:36:03.89
Temple.
00:36:03.93\00:36:05.26
"Temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you,
00:36:05.29\00:36:07.50
which ye have of God
and ye are not your own?"
00:36:07.53\00:36:10.87
Here it goes.
It's saying right now.
00:36:10.90\00:36:12.67
You're not your own.
00:36:12.70\00:36:14.64
I'm on my own. I
wanna do what I wanna do.
00:36:14.67\00:36:16.97
God's telling you right
now, you are not your own.
00:36:17.01\00:36:19.57
You can't just make a choice.
00:36:19.61\00:36:20.94
You can do it, but
you're gonna pay for it.
00:36:20.98\00:36:22.51
I'm going to pay for it,
00:36:22.54\00:36:24.08
whether it's in this
life or the life to come.
00:36:24.11\00:36:27.05
Why don't you know
00:36:27.08\00:36:28.42
your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost?
00:36:28.45\00:36:31.55
Where would the
Holy Ghost want to dwell?
00:36:31.59\00:36:34.19
In your heart, in your body.
00:36:34.22\00:36:35.89
But Jesus is
telling you something here,
00:36:35.92\00:36:37.96
notice, you're not your own.
00:36:37.99\00:36:39.36
Verse 20,
00:36:39.39\00:36:40.73
"For you are bought
with a," what? "A price."
00:36:40.76\00:36:43.06
What's that price?
00:36:43.10\00:36:44.43
Christ. Christ Jesus.
00:36:44.47\00:36:46.00
"Therefore," here notice this.
00:36:46.03\00:36:47.37
We have an
opportunity to "glorify God
00:36:47.40\00:36:49.67
in our, ooh, our body,
00:36:49.70\00:36:52.91
and in spirit, which are God's."
00:36:52.94\00:36:55.61
We have a
responsibility, a duty to God
00:36:55.64\00:36:58.51
because He created us,
00:36:58.55\00:36:59.98
He redeemed us, He sustained us,
00:37:00.02\00:37:01.62
He wants us to be in
heaven with Him someday.
00:37:01.65\00:37:04.12
That He said,
you're not your own,
00:37:04.15\00:37:06.19
you're bought with a price,
then how valuable that you are.
00:37:06.22\00:37:10.23
You're bought with
the blood of Jesus Christ.
00:37:10.26\00:37:12.69
Nothing else can purchase that,
only the blood of Jesus Christ.
00:37:12.73\00:37:16.36
How awesome that is.
00:37:16.40\00:37:18.47
And that's no different
00:37:18.50\00:37:19.83
if you compare
that with Romans 12:1.
00:37:19.87\00:37:22.80
You know, it
talks about here that
00:37:22.84\00:37:24.17
this is our reasonable service.
00:37:24.21\00:37:26.88
You know, think about
our reasonable service,
00:37:26.91\00:37:29.64
you're to be a living.
00:37:29.68\00:37:31.01
He said, our bodies are
to be a living sacrifice,
00:37:31.05\00:37:33.68
holy and acceptable to God,
00:37:33.72\00:37:36.35
which is your
reasonable service.
00:37:36.38\00:37:38.95
Do you notice that?
00:37:38.99\00:37:40.32
He says our
bodies have to be what?
00:37:40.36\00:37:44.06
Holy and acceptable to God.
00:37:44.09\00:37:46.43
Assuming I may say
this, if you don't mind,
00:37:46.46\00:37:48.56
I'm saying you said,
00:37:48.60\00:37:50.17
be acceptable to God,
00:37:50.20\00:37:51.93
there's a way in which
we could conduct ourselves
00:37:51.97\00:37:53.80
that will be
unacceptable to God.
00:37:53.84\00:37:56.87
Anytime scripture says that,
00:37:56.91\00:37:58.24
it always leaves the
other door open there to say,
00:37:58.27\00:37:59.87
we can conduct
ourselves will be unreasonable.
00:37:59.91\00:38:02.64
God will not,
you know, bless that.
00:38:02.68\00:38:06.88
We must understand,
00:38:06.92\00:38:08.25
I think the
blessings from scripture
00:38:08.28\00:38:09.85
and passage of
scripture, put them together.
00:38:09.88\00:38:12.22
Psalms 36, the
Bible said, verse 9,
00:38:12.25\00:38:15.29
"For with thee,"
talking about with God,
00:38:15.32\00:38:17.86
in Psalms 36:9,
00:38:17.89\00:38:20.03
"For with thee," that means God,
00:38:20.06\00:38:22.56
"He is the fountain of life."
00:38:22.60\00:38:25.47
God is the fountain of life.
00:38:25.50\00:38:27.14
Where are you going
today? Where am I going today?
00:38:27.17\00:38:29.67
What fountain
are we drinking from?
00:38:29.70\00:38:32.14
You know,
00:38:32.17\00:38:33.64
you know, talking of
drinking from fountain
00:38:33.68\00:38:35.14
that never runs dry?
00:38:35.18\00:38:36.88
Are we drinking
from nothing it's just,
00:38:36.91\00:38:38.38
you know,
overnight and this is it,
00:38:38.41\00:38:39.81
then that's gonna hurt us
00:38:39.85\00:38:41.18
and we'll get
ourselves in a bunch of trouble.
00:38:41.22\00:38:42.72
God says come to
Him, He's got the answer.
00:38:42.75\00:38:45.65
We realized from
scripture that we just read
00:38:45.69\00:38:48.06
God is the
originator of all things,
00:38:48.09\00:38:50.76
no question about it.
00:38:50.79\00:38:52.13
Again, it's for the sake of many
00:38:52.16\00:38:53.63
who maybe have not
read scripture in a while
00:38:53.66\00:38:55.86
that God is the
originator of all things.
00:38:55.90\00:38:58.30
He's the life of
everything, do we believe that?
00:38:58.33\00:39:01.94
He's the life and
the light of everything
00:39:01.97\00:39:03.87
because my Bible tells me so.
00:39:03.91\00:39:05.74
John 8:12, Jesus said,
"I am the light of," what?
00:39:05.77\00:39:10.18
He said, "I'm the
light of the world here."
00:39:10.21\00:39:13.01
So He's the light and the
life of everything that lives.
00:39:13.05\00:39:17.75
Everything by Him lives
and it moves and as our being.
00:39:17.79\00:39:21.82
Notice this, He's our life.
00:39:21.86\00:39:25.86
It's because of His death
that we have eternal life.
00:39:25.89\00:39:29.03
So it's because of Him,
00:39:29.06\00:39:31.03
the food that
grows we eat of it,
00:39:31.07\00:39:33.70
it grows because
there's life in Christ,
00:39:33.74\00:39:36.07
it wouldn't grow without Him.
00:39:36.10\00:39:39.07
And we realized that
the body and the mind,
00:39:39.11\00:39:41.51
we either when we're eating,
00:39:41.54\00:39:42.88
we're either building
up the body and the mind
00:39:42.91\00:39:44.85
or we're tearing it down.
00:39:44.88\00:39:46.25
You have two choices, I do too.
00:39:46.28\00:39:49.72
What we eat either
builds up the body and the mind
00:39:49.75\00:39:52.35
or it tears it down.
00:39:52.39\00:39:53.76
The devil just said here, what?
00:39:53.79\00:39:55.56
Jesus said, "I
come to give you life
00:39:55.59\00:39:56.93
and have it more abundantly."
00:39:56.96\00:39:58.39
The devil said, "I come to kill,
00:39:58.43\00:39:59.76
steal and destroy."
00:39:59.79\00:40:01.13
So he says you can do the other,
00:40:01.16\00:40:02.50
eat wrong and so
it will destroy you.
00:40:02.53\00:40:04.10
So it destroys your thinking,
00:40:04.13\00:40:05.47
so that you can't make
right proper decisions.
00:40:05.50\00:40:08.30
See, this is vital.
00:40:08.34\00:40:09.67
This is life and death issue.
00:40:09.70\00:40:12.27
It's not just, "Well, I too."
00:40:12.31\00:40:13.68
This is life and death,
we're talking about here.
00:40:13.71\00:40:17.35
John 1:4.
00:40:17.38\00:40:19.38
Remember it
says, "In Him was life
00:40:19.41\00:40:21.82
and the light was
the light of men."
00:40:21.85\00:40:25.22
So we can either
come in harmony with God,
00:40:25.25\00:40:28.69
laws on health,
00:40:28.72\00:40:30.06
or you know what we can do?
00:40:30.09\00:40:31.46
We can tell Him
00:40:31.49\00:40:32.83
we have a better
plan than you do.
00:40:32.86\00:40:35.13
Now who's gonna be
bold enough to do that?
00:40:35.16\00:40:38.23
Not any God fearing person will.
00:40:38.27\00:40:41.10
Some unbeliever and
some pagan might do it,
00:40:41.14\00:40:43.07
because they
don't know any better.
00:40:43.10\00:40:44.44
Are you still there?
00:40:44.47\00:40:46.14
But not anyone in the right mind
00:40:46.17\00:40:47.74
that loves Jesus.
00:40:47.78\00:40:49.11
You're not gonna say,
"Well, I have a better plan."
00:40:49.14\00:40:51.35
Not at all.
00:40:51.38\00:40:52.71
Education, page 195 says this.
00:40:52.75\00:40:55.38
"Whatever
promotes physical health,
00:40:55.42\00:40:57.72
promotes the
development of a strong mind
00:40:57.75\00:41:00.49
and well-balanced character."
00:41:00.52\00:41:02.72
Somebody needs to get
this before we're done with it.
00:41:02.76\00:41:05.19
"Without health no one can,"
00:41:05.23\00:41:07.10
notice, "as
distinctly understand
00:41:07.13\00:41:10.03
or as completely fulfill
the obligation to himself
00:41:10.07\00:41:14.80
or to his fellow human
being or to his Creator.
00:41:14.84\00:41:18.97
Therefore," listen,
00:41:19.01\00:41:20.34
"therefore health
should be as faithfully,
00:41:20.38\00:41:24.48
faithfully
guarded as the character."
00:41:24.51\00:41:27.68
Did somebody get that?
00:41:27.72\00:41:29.05
What are we gonna
take to heaven with us?
00:41:29.08\00:41:30.42
You've heard it all your life.
00:41:30.45\00:41:31.79
The only thing
you can take is what?
00:41:31.82\00:41:33.15
All your money? No.
00:41:33.19\00:41:34.66
Only thing you can take
with you is your character.
00:41:34.69\00:41:37.49
It's who you are.
00:41:37.53\00:41:39.19
It says our health that
needs to be regard as closely,
00:41:39.23\00:41:42.16
because it's such a
close relationship there.
00:41:42.20\00:41:44.63
Wow!
00:41:44.67\00:41:46.40
Again, let's be reminded of this
00:41:46.43\00:41:47.87
in case we've forgotten
in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17,
00:41:47.90\00:41:52.91
is what the Bible says,
00:41:52.94\00:41:55.04
1 Corinthians 3:16-17, tells us,
00:41:55.08\00:41:58.55
it says, "Ye are
the temple of," what?
00:41:58.58\00:42:01.58
You're the temple of God.
00:42:01.62\00:42:03.12
"The Spirit of
God dwells," where?
00:42:03.15\00:42:05.32
"In you.
00:42:05.35\00:42:06.69
If you defile this temple,"
somebody needs to listen,
00:42:06.72\00:42:10.06
"If you decide
00:42:10.09\00:42:11.43
you want to defile this temple,"
00:42:11.46\00:42:13.03
oh-oh, "him shall God destroy."
00:42:13.06\00:42:17.17
Whoa! Wait.
00:42:17.20\00:42:18.53
Why?
00:42:18.57\00:42:19.90
In my notes, I
put why at the end.
00:42:19.93\00:42:22.10
Because the Bible
goes on and says because
00:42:22.14\00:42:24.21
"The temple of God is
holy which temple ye are."
00:42:24.24\00:42:29.04
If you're born again
Christian, you love Jesus.
00:42:29.08\00:42:31.31
There it tells very
correctly, if you destroy it,
00:42:31.35\00:42:34.12
willfully destroy
the temple right there,
00:42:34.15\00:42:36.12
said God shall destroy you.
00:42:36.15\00:42:37.79
God's temple is to be holy,
00:42:37.82\00:42:39.35
though we need to
take the right things
00:42:39.39\00:42:40.86
into it for sure.
00:42:40.89\00:42:42.59
This leads us to the
question number four.
00:42:42.62\00:42:44.26
What diet did the Creator
originally planned for man?
00:42:44.29\00:42:46.53
I wish we had a lot
more time. We don't.
00:42:46.56\00:42:48.43
Genesis 1:29, the Bible says,
00:42:48.46\00:42:51.93
"I have given you every," what?
00:42:51.97\00:42:55.70
"Herb bearing seed."
00:42:55.74\00:42:58.64
God's given us a diet here.
00:42:58.67\00:43:00.08
Oh, it's Old Testament here.
00:43:00.11\00:43:01.44
Same God sits on the
throne, same as He did before,
00:43:01.48\00:43:05.65
same mind,
00:43:05.68\00:43:08.92
"I've given you
every herb bearing seed,
00:43:08.95\00:43:11.89
every tree which is
in the fruit of a tree
00:43:11.92\00:43:14.99
and yielding seed,
00:43:15.02\00:43:16.66
to you it shall be for,"
notice it says, "for meat."
00:43:16.69\00:43:19.96
It means food.
00:43:20.00\00:43:21.36
No meat involved
here, it said food.
00:43:21.40\00:43:22.90
Did you get it?
00:43:22.93\00:43:24.27
We need to be careful that
we translate the right way.
00:43:24.30\00:43:26.33
Notice this.
00:43:26.37\00:43:28.17
Interesting,
God said right here,
00:43:28.20\00:43:29.84
what I want you to eat is
00:43:29.87\00:43:31.34
something that has seeds in it.
00:43:31.37\00:43:36.31
I want you to have seeds in it.
00:43:36.34\00:43:40.65
Every bearing seed, every tree
00:43:40.68\00:43:42.75
and the fruit of the
tree and yielding seed.
00:43:42.78\00:43:45.95
Is it interesting that
fine in our man made GMO world,
00:43:45.99\00:43:51.93
you can't find any seeds?
00:43:51.96\00:43:54.20
Okay, somebody's not with me.
00:43:54.23\00:43:58.27
Listen, the devil has
a plan, don't you get it?
00:43:58.30\00:44:00.64
This is so important.
00:44:00.67\00:44:02.00
God said in His Word
00:44:02.04\00:44:03.37
things that have
seeds in them as well,
00:44:03.41\00:44:04.87
He wants you to eat.
00:44:04.91\00:44:06.37
Now, man has come
up and they, what?
00:44:06.41\00:44:08.24
The GMOs, right? Yeah.
00:44:08.28\00:44:11.18
Other thing right
there, the enemy says,
00:44:11.21\00:44:13.58
"Oh, God said
you gonna have seeds,
00:44:13.62\00:44:14.95
and I'm wanna have
things that produced by man
00:44:14.98\00:44:18.09
that doesn't
have any seeds in it."
00:44:18.12\00:44:20.06
Because you're
leaving out a lot of nutrients
00:44:20.09\00:44:21.76
and a lot of
things that are essential
00:44:21.79\00:44:23.39
for good health.
00:44:23.43\00:44:25.19
Oh!
00:44:25.23\00:44:26.56
They're gonna
make it taste good.
00:44:26.59\00:44:27.93
Oh, I wanna say
most of my research
00:44:27.96\00:44:30.13
and reading about
some of these things.
00:44:30.17\00:44:32.40
I said a couple of times
00:44:32.43\00:44:33.77
and "Lord, forgive," I
said, well, these people
00:44:33.80\00:44:35.70
who are producing this
kind of things are liars.
00:44:35.74\00:44:39.01
Because you go to
read about the GMOs
00:44:39.04\00:44:40.98
and they make you
think like it's God given.
00:44:41.01\00:44:44.48
That there's never anything bad
00:44:44.51\00:44:45.85
if they say, it's better
for you in some research,
00:44:45.88\00:44:47.78
better for you than that
which God made with seeds in it
00:44:47.82\00:44:51.15
or something just wrong there.
00:44:51.19\00:44:53.86
That's the
counterfeit for the truth.
00:44:53.89\00:44:55.82
So we need to do what God said.
00:44:55.86\00:44:57.19
This is what God
said in the beginning,
00:44:57.23\00:44:58.56
He has not changed.
00:44:58.59\00:45:00.33
Genesis 3:18, the Bible says,
00:45:00.36\00:45:03.06
we have some 10
minutes, somebody's got to be...
00:45:03.10\00:45:05.20
Genesis 3:18, it says,
00:45:05.23\00:45:06.84
"After Adam and Eve
have eaten from the tree,"
00:45:06.87\00:45:09.04
notice it,
00:45:09.07\00:45:10.41
after Adam and Eve had eaten
from the tree that means what?
00:45:10.44\00:45:12.44
Sin had already come
in, isn't that right?
00:45:12.47\00:45:14.18
You know what God
turned around and said to them,
00:45:14.21\00:45:16.34
"Thou shall," still as it were,
"eat the herb of the field."
00:45:16.38\00:45:19.81
People say,
"Well, after sinning,
00:45:19.85\00:45:21.18
they went on, you
know, we can't do what?"
00:45:21.22\00:45:22.55
God said, "Here's
your still your diet."
00:45:22.58\00:45:25.69
We can see from the
Word of God that man uses,
00:45:25.72\00:45:28.42
notice that, to eat food from...
00:45:28.46\00:45:30.59
God intended for us to
eat food from the ground,
00:45:30.63\00:45:33.19
from the tree,
grain, nuts and fruit.
00:45:33.23\00:45:37.63
Notice this right
here, to animals...
00:45:37.67\00:45:39.40
The Bible... even
said about the animals,
00:45:39.43\00:45:41.47
he said, to eat
every green herb,
00:45:41.50\00:45:43.51
vegetables,
green plants and grass.
00:45:43.54\00:45:46.21
See, God lined it out.
00:45:46.24\00:45:47.58
But somehow we've taken
God off the throne and decide,
00:45:47.61\00:45:49.34
oh, because we read
a couple of passages
00:45:49.38\00:45:51.75
in the New Testament that apply.
00:45:51.78\00:45:53.58
Remember, once God
has said this is clean,
00:45:53.62\00:45:55.55
that's unclean,
it stays that way.
00:45:55.58\00:45:57.55
You cannot change
it. Something is wrong.
00:45:57.59\00:46:00.09
The Word of God,
some way people in there,
00:46:00.12\00:46:01.52
somebody's been
tampering with something.
00:46:01.56\00:46:05.66
It's not God's will.
00:46:05.69\00:46:07.13
It was never God's will
for man to kill animals.
00:46:07.16\00:46:09.70
Did you know that?
00:46:09.73\00:46:11.07
For food.
00:46:11.10\00:46:12.77
It was never God's plan
00:46:12.80\00:46:14.14
that animals
should kill one another.
00:46:14.17\00:46:17.24
That came about
after sin entered.
00:46:17.27\00:46:20.91
And it was, listen
very carefully now,
00:46:20.94\00:46:23.01
it was not, I'm not trying
to hurt anything or anybody
00:46:23.04\00:46:25.41
but we need to listen up,
00:46:25.45\00:46:26.82
if we hadn't
thought about in a while.
00:46:26.85\00:46:28.48
Well, it was never,
it was after the flood
00:46:28.52\00:46:31.45
that God gave permission for man
00:46:31.49\00:46:33.69
to eat flesh, is that true?
00:46:33.72\00:46:35.86
After the flood
God gave man permission
00:46:35.89\00:46:38.06
to eat of the flesh food.
00:46:38.09\00:46:39.83
Notice though, when
you read Genesis 9:3,
00:46:39.86\00:46:44.20
flesh was eaten by people
00:46:44.23\00:46:47.70
before the flood.
00:46:47.74\00:46:51.07
But notice the ones who
ate the flesh were those
00:46:51.11\00:46:54.84
who were had
rebelled against God
00:46:54.88\00:46:57.88
and they were noted
in their rebelliousness.
00:46:57.91\00:47:00.55
Somebody with me.
00:47:00.58\00:47:02.62
Not trying to point fingers
anything or anybody today.
00:47:02.65\00:47:05.42
But we have to rely
history and studying with this,
00:47:05.45\00:47:08.02
you'll find there were
people that certainly killing
00:47:08.06\00:47:10.19
but they weren't
followers of God.
00:47:10.23\00:47:12.13
Because God said already
00:47:12.16\00:47:13.50
what we should eat,
and what we should not eat.
00:47:13.53\00:47:16.46
Oh man, this is heavy duty.
00:47:16.50\00:47:19.43
What specific animals
00:47:19.47\00:47:21.27
as God forbid man to eat?
00:47:21.30\00:47:23.84
I wish we had time to go into.
00:47:23.87\00:47:25.21
But we need to in
Leviticus Chapter 11.
00:47:25.24\00:47:27.64
It just simply says,
00:47:27.68\00:47:29.01
what we are to eat and
what we should not eat.
00:47:29.04\00:47:32.35
We have no right to tear
out any portion of scripture.
00:47:32.38\00:47:35.42
We have no right
to say what's inspired
00:47:35.45\00:47:37.35
and what's not
inspired in the Bible.
00:47:37.39\00:47:39.65
Because the Bible
said all scriptures,
00:47:39.69\00:47:41.16
ooh, was given by
God, by inspiration.
00:47:41.19\00:47:43.59
Now it's written down
00:47:43.63\00:47:44.96
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
00:47:44.99\00:47:46.33
So Holy Spirit's
not gonna tell you
00:47:46.36\00:47:47.70
one thing in the Old Testament
00:47:47.73\00:47:49.06
and tell you something
new in the New Testament.
00:47:49.10\00:47:50.87
It's not.
00:47:50.90\00:47:52.23
It's going to be
these beautiful truths
00:47:52.27\00:47:53.60
that God has for us.
00:47:53.64\00:47:55.14
I want you to just
really think about that.
00:47:55.17\00:47:57.14
I'd like to go
through those things.
00:47:57.17\00:47:58.51
But you can read that
in Leviticus Chapter 11.
00:47:58.54\00:48:01.11
Right on down that God says,
00:48:01.14\00:48:02.51
He talks about the
fish and so on scales,
00:48:02.54\00:48:04.48
you know, fins and
scales you can eat it,
00:48:04.51\00:48:06.35
talks about, you know,
the ones that chews the cud
00:48:06.38\00:48:08.28
and then there's
cloven hoof and so on.
00:48:08.32\00:48:10.29
So God just lays it out so clean
00:48:10.32\00:48:13.66
and clear for us
00:48:13.69\00:48:15.06
what He had said
that you can eat this,
00:48:15.09\00:48:17.09
and then He
says, don't eat that.
00:48:17.13\00:48:19.96
It makes sense.
He's our Creator.
00:48:20.00\00:48:22.16
He made us.
00:48:22.20\00:48:23.60
When I have
trouble with the car,
00:48:23.63\00:48:24.97
I go to the car manual,
00:48:25.00\00:48:26.40
isn't that right?
00:48:26.43\00:48:27.77
And because they made the car,
00:48:27.80\00:48:29.14
developed, they
know what's best for it.
00:48:29.17\00:48:31.47
Now, you know, I
think we're figuring out.
00:48:31.51\00:48:34.44
So as man is
thinking, notice this,
00:48:34.48\00:48:37.95
as man thinks, it
determines his actions.
00:48:37.98\00:48:41.55
He's thinking.
00:48:41.58\00:48:42.92
You think at first in there
and then it comes out what?
00:48:42.95\00:48:45.09
In actions or in conduct.
00:48:45.12\00:48:46.92
It's first in the mind,
00:48:46.96\00:48:48.29
then it comes in
and is played out.
00:48:48.32\00:48:50.19
If a man thinks know to right,
00:48:50.23\00:48:52.36
it's a good possibility
that he's gonna do right.
00:48:52.39\00:48:55.76
If a man thinks on bad things,
00:48:55.80\00:48:57.80
his deeds will probably be bad.
00:48:57.83\00:49:00.30
Please think.
00:49:00.34\00:49:02.77
Does food affect the mind?
00:49:02.80\00:49:04.37
Absolutely, it does.
00:49:04.41\00:49:06.24
Does food affect
the spirit spiritually?
00:49:06.27\00:49:08.81
Absolutely, it does.
00:49:08.84\00:49:10.18
Drinking the wrong
thing? Absolutely, it does.
00:49:10.21\00:49:13.52
Overall, this is interesting.
00:49:13.55\00:49:14.98
Overall, the
food God approves of
00:49:15.02\00:49:17.95
has been found to be the best,
00:49:17.99\00:49:20.16
isn't that beautiful?
00:49:20.19\00:49:21.72
The food that God has
approved to heaven said,
00:49:21.76\00:49:23.66
this is what you eat to
live and be healthy and happy.
00:49:23.69\00:49:26.19
It's basically approved.
00:49:26.23\00:49:27.63
I've noticed this,
it found to be the best.
00:49:27.66\00:49:31.20
We don't have. Here's a key.
00:49:31.23\00:49:32.87
We don't have a
disagreements on things
00:49:32.90\00:49:36.60
God approves of.
00:49:36.64\00:49:39.31
But we have disagreements
on things that God forbids.
00:49:39.34\00:49:43.75
Somebody listen.
00:49:43.78\00:49:46.11
Notionally, not the things
He approves that's the things
00:49:46.15\00:49:48.12
that God says, don't,
00:49:48.15\00:49:49.48
that we have the
argument with God about it.
00:49:49.52\00:49:51.45
I wonder why that
is, because we want it,
00:49:51.49\00:49:53.42
we like the way it tastes.
00:49:53.46\00:49:54.79
We don't care, even
though we know it can hurt.
00:49:54.82\00:49:56.99
It's medically
proven it will hurt.
00:49:57.03\00:49:58.63
Take the Bible,
lay it on the shelf.
00:49:58.66\00:50:00.13
I don't mean that
you really do that.
00:50:00.16\00:50:01.73
But you know
what I'm saying here,
00:50:01.76\00:50:03.10
just read what scientists
tell, read what doctors,
00:50:03.13\00:50:06.63
look at the
reports, the first thing.
00:50:06.67\00:50:08.20
You go in the
hospital the first thing you do
00:50:08.24\00:50:09.77
is take you off a pork and meat
and different things like that
00:50:09.80\00:50:12.37
because they said
that stuff will kill you.
00:50:12.41\00:50:16.11
But they turn
around serve it to you
00:50:16.14\00:50:17.48
in the hospital.
00:50:17.51\00:50:20.32
That's all right.
Nobody wanted to hear that.
00:50:20.35\00:50:21.68
I know it.
00:50:21.72\00:50:23.05
Got went all day
long without saying that.
00:50:23.08\00:50:26.92
But that's what happens.
00:50:26.96\00:50:28.29
We need to be very, very careful
00:50:33.29\00:50:35.73
that we don't have a
disagreement with God.
00:50:35.76\00:50:39.33
God gave four laws,
00:50:39.37\00:50:40.70
I'm not gonna have
time even to go into it all.
00:50:40.74\00:50:42.50
Four different laws
and we need to be careful,
00:50:42.54\00:50:43.94
we don't get them all confused.
00:50:43.97\00:50:45.77
When once He gave
us the law of God,
00:50:45.81\00:50:47.34
which is The Ten
Commandments, did He not?
00:50:47.38\00:50:49.68
Then He gave us
a ceremonial laws,
00:50:49.71\00:50:51.45
you remember that?
00:50:51.48\00:50:52.81
A system of worship
00:50:52.85\00:50:54.18
pointing to Jesus
who would come and die.
00:50:54.22\00:50:56.32
He gave us three the civil laws.
00:50:56.35\00:50:58.52
How we could, you
know, treat one another.
00:50:58.55\00:51:02.86
In fact, you know, apply to it.
00:51:02.89\00:51:04.79
They say, well, it's
applied to Israel only,
00:51:04.83\00:51:06.23
you know what, as
long as there are nation
00:51:06.26\00:51:08.06
and so on and so forth.
00:51:08.10\00:51:09.43
Though the fundamentals of these
00:51:09.46\00:51:10.80
are the several
things that God give.
00:51:10.83\00:51:12.23
The principles
are still good today,
00:51:12.27\00:51:14.50
about taking care of that
thing which is well almost same
00:51:14.54\00:51:16.50
which God says to take care
of your body, they're good too.
00:51:16.54\00:51:18.64
Fourth, He gave us health laws.
00:51:18.67\00:51:20.24
No one wants to talk about that.
00:51:20.28\00:51:21.98
The health laws
for to promote health
00:51:22.01\00:51:24.35
and longer life.
00:51:24.38\00:51:26.55
They're based on the human body,
00:51:26.58\00:51:29.48
the nature of man and
the requirements of man,
00:51:29.52\00:51:34.16
which could not be
affected by the cross.
00:51:34.19\00:51:37.33
Somebody gets that?
00:51:37.36\00:51:39.53
Well, at the
cross, things changed.
00:51:39.56\00:51:42.50
Man's nature, did you
get it, the human body,
00:51:42.53\00:51:45.13
the requirements of man
00:51:45.17\00:51:46.60
could not be
affected by the, what?
00:51:46.63\00:51:48.94
By the cross
00:51:48.97\00:51:50.31
or Israel even being
a nation in operation.
00:51:50.34\00:51:54.34
What was good for the body
then is good for the body now,
00:51:54.38\00:51:58.48
as for today.
00:51:58.51\00:52:00.55
Bible says quickly, "Whatever
we do, do all to the," what?
00:52:00.58\00:52:04.22
"To the glory of God."
00:52:04.25\00:52:05.59
1 Corinthians
10:31. 1 Corinthians 10:31.
00:52:05.62\00:52:09.36
Whatever you do,
whatever you eat,
00:52:09.39\00:52:10.96
whatever you drink, do
all to the glory of God.
00:52:10.99\00:52:12.83
How can we say,
00:52:12.86\00:52:14.20
"Well, I'm doing
this to the glory of God
00:52:14.23\00:52:15.76
when it, you know,
it affects your mind,
00:52:15.80\00:52:17.27
it affects your
system, it affects your body?
00:52:17.30\00:52:19.60
1 Corinthians 9:27.
00:52:19.63\00:52:21.50
Paul said this, but he
said, "I have kept my body,"
00:52:21.54\00:52:24.94
notice that "under my body
and bring it into subjection."
00:52:24.97\00:52:28.58
You notice this?
00:52:28.61\00:52:30.85
A sincere Christian today,
are there sincere Christians?
00:52:30.88\00:52:33.05
I believe there are.
00:52:33.08\00:52:34.42
If we consider that our body
00:52:34.45\00:52:35.98
is the temple
of the Holy Spirit,
00:52:36.02\00:52:39.09
we need to bring our
bodies into subjection.
00:52:39.12\00:52:41.32
The scriptures tell us here,
doing all to the glory of God.
00:52:41.36\00:52:45.49
So in order to be a
consistent Christian,
00:52:45.53\00:52:49.33
with the Bible and
Bible principle here,
00:52:49.36\00:52:52.33
we must accept what
the Bible has to say
00:52:52.37\00:52:55.40
about the words in
Leviticus Chapter 11.
00:52:55.44\00:52:58.41
We have to if we wanna
be consistent with Bible
00:52:58.44\00:53:00.98
and principle
of the Word of God,
00:53:01.01\00:53:02.94
if we really
believe the Holy Spirit
00:53:02.98\00:53:04.45
is the temple of God.
00:53:04.48\00:53:07.02
Solomon brings
up that a wise man.
00:53:07.05\00:53:08.98
Proverbs 20:1,
as we wind it down.
00:53:09.02\00:53:11.65
He said, "Wine is a
mocker, strong drink is raging,
00:53:11.69\00:53:15.22
and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise."
00:53:15.26\00:53:20.00
All drinks it talks
about here, they're deception,
00:53:20.03\00:53:23.63
just like Eve was deceived.
00:53:23.67\00:53:26.03
You know, she thought that
she was gonna have more wisdom.
00:53:26.07\00:53:29.37
She thought, things were
gonna work out better, she ate.
00:53:29.40\00:53:32.17
Man sometime drinks and thinks
00:53:32.21\00:53:33.54
he's better than what he is.
00:53:33.58\00:53:34.91
And he's thinking
properly when he's not.
00:53:34.94\00:53:37.65
On the
www.activebeat.com says this,
00:53:37.68\00:53:41.25
"Negative effects of
the brain materialize
00:53:41.28\00:53:43.75
only after a few drinks.
00:53:43.79\00:53:45.75
Heavy drinking and
binge drinking can result
00:53:45.79\00:53:48.02
in permanent damage of
brain and nervous system.
00:53:48.06\00:53:50.79
Long term, it can
cause big problems
00:53:50.83\00:53:53.73
for our mental health.
00:53:53.76\00:53:56.20
You know, we need
to really think about
00:53:56.23\00:53:57.57
and be praying
about these things
00:53:57.60\00:53:58.93
that God has
given us in His Word.
00:53:58.97\00:54:00.30
We haven't covered
half of it but you know,
00:54:00.34\00:54:02.10
we need to be
thinking along this line.
00:54:02.14\00:54:04.67
Today, you know, He
has a door that's open
00:54:04.71\00:54:06.34
and He invites us to come in.
00:54:06.37\00:54:08.91
He invites us to
make a decision today
00:54:08.94\00:54:10.55
of what we're gonna do.
00:54:10.58\00:54:11.91
Follow God's plan
00:54:11.95\00:54:13.28
when we wanna be
healthy and happy.
00:54:13.31\00:54:14.65
And follow what God
has said in His Word
00:54:14.68\00:54:16.02
or we're gonna
follow the enemy's plan.
00:54:16.05\00:54:17.75
Big disappointment and heartache
00:54:17.79\00:54:19.19
not only in this life,
but in the life to come.
00:54:19.22\00:54:22.02
It's up to you
to make that choice
00:54:22.06\00:54:23.53
and that decision.
00:54:23.56\00:54:24.89
Don't do it by your
eyes, don't do it by your nose
00:54:24.93\00:54:27.26
and by your ears or
whatever it might be,
00:54:27.30\00:54:29.43
do it by thus saith the Lord.
00:54:29.46\00:54:31.47
I'm gonna say a
quick prayer as we close,
00:54:31.50\00:54:33.13
a few seconds left.
00:54:33.17\00:54:34.50
I'd like if you
pray with me please.
00:54:34.54\00:54:36.24
Father in Heaven, thank You
for Your love and Your mercy.
00:54:36.27\00:54:38.44
Thank You for the Word
that You've given us today.
00:54:38.47\00:54:40.01
Help us to accept it
00:54:40.04\00:54:41.38
and say thank You
for it in Jesus' name.
00:54:41.41\00:54:43.45
Amen.
00:54:43.48\00:54:45.01
Good to spend
this time with you.
00:54:45.05\00:54:46.38
Thank you for your
prayers, your support.
00:54:46.41\00:54:47.98
We'll see you next time.
00:54:48.02\00:54:49.98
Hello and welcome back.
00:54:50.02\00:54:51.52
One thing is for certain,
when it comes to knowing
00:54:51.55\00:54:54.42
and understanding
spiritual matters,
00:54:54.46\00:54:56.26
we will never graduate
from the School of Christ.
00:54:56.29\00:54:59.23
So many of God's
children are totally unaware
00:54:59.26\00:55:02.00
of the wonderful
principles of health,
00:55:02.03\00:55:04.17
our Creator God has
given us in His Word.
00:55:04.20\00:55:07.17
Again, the message
for today was entitled
00:55:07.20\00:55:09.77
"The Bible's Path to Health."
00:55:09.80\00:55:12.01
And how wonderful
that God cares so very much
00:55:12.04\00:55:15.51
about the
sufferings of His children.
00:55:15.54\00:55:17.78
So much so that He
directed the Bible writers
00:55:17.81\00:55:21.62
through the power
of the Holy Spirit
00:55:21.65\00:55:23.72
to give us sound direction
00:55:23.75\00:55:26.22
as to the
importance of our body temples,
00:55:26.25\00:55:29.76
as well as the best
nourishment for optimal health.
00:55:29.79\00:55:33.76
And who can argue
with the original diet
00:55:33.80\00:55:36.30
given to man from our Creator,
00:55:36.33\00:55:38.67
and who would dare to
say that habits such as
00:55:38.70\00:55:42.10
using tobacco,
drinking strong drinks,
00:55:42.14\00:55:44.81
eating unclean
foods are good for us,
00:55:44.84\00:55:47.61
when all we have to
do is just look around.
00:55:47.64\00:55:50.98
Look around and
see the lives of those
00:55:51.01\00:55:53.25
who are
suffering from these habits
00:55:53.28\00:55:55.48
and of those whose lives
have literally been cut short
00:55:55.52\00:55:59.95
by these health
destroying consumptions.
