The apostle Paul
states in Romans 13:10
00:00:02.23\00:00:06.00
"Love does no wrong to others,
00:00:06.03\00:00:08.77
therefore love is the
fulfilling of the Lord."
00:00:08.80\00:00:13.11
And Jesus says in Mathew 5:17
00:00:13.14\00:00:16.54
"Think not that I am
come to destroy the law,
00:00:16.58\00:00:20.35
or the prophets.
00:00:20.38\00:00:21.75
I am not come to
destroy, but to fulfill."
00:00:21.78\00:00:25.72
Now we go to
Webster's dictionary which says
00:00:25.75\00:00:28.89
Fulfill means, to
bring to completion,
00:00:28.92\00:00:33.29
to attain or to achieve.
00:00:33.33\00:00:36.00
So Jesus or love
brings the law to completion.
00:00:36.03\00:00:43.00
Wow, that's powerful.
00:00:43.04\00:00:45.54
So that means that
the law is all about love.
00:00:45.57\00:00:52.21
Hello and welcome to
"From Sickness to Health."
00:00:52.25\00:00:55.55
I'm your host Rico Hill
00:00:55.58\00:00:57.59
and today we have a
very comprehensive program
00:00:57.62\00:01:02.19
covering the laws of health.
00:01:02.22\00:01:05.43
By comprehensive you
mean covering many areas.
00:01:05.46\00:01:11.07
Well, yeah.
00:01:11.10\00:01:12.60
By laws of health
you mean laws of bondage.
00:01:12.63\00:01:16.60
No, no, no, no, see
these laws are laws of love.
00:01:16.64\00:01:20.34
Let me give couple of examples
00:01:20.38\00:01:21.71
like sunlight or
water or exercise,
00:01:21.74\00:01:25.88
temperance, trusting in God
00:01:25.91\00:01:28.15
and as I stated
earlier in the text
00:01:28.18\00:01:30.39
these laws are
all fulfilled by love.
00:01:30.42\00:01:34.92
Okay then here we go,
00:01:34.96\00:01:37.29
trusting, walking,
drinking, sunlight,
00:01:37.33\00:01:39.43
trusting, walking,
drinking, sunlight--
00:01:39.46\00:01:41.96
Oh, please explain
to me what you're doing?
00:01:42.00\00:01:45.47
Oh, I am attempting to
keep all the health laws
00:01:45.50\00:01:47.47
you're gonna discus
today all at the same time.
00:01:47.50\00:01:50.61
At the same time.
00:01:50.64\00:01:51.97
For two reasons, number
one, to show you and you
00:01:52.01\00:01:55.71
that they are impossible to keep
00:01:55.74\00:01:57.61
and number two, to discourage
anyone from even trying.
00:01:57.65\00:02:02.82
Trusting, walking,
drinking-- Please wait a second.
00:02:02.85\00:02:04.55
And what is all
this supposed to do?
00:02:04.59\00:02:07.62
Oh, this here?
00:02:07.66\00:02:09.29
Well, this is to show people
00:02:09.32\00:02:10.86
that it's all
about do's and don'ts.
00:02:10.89\00:02:12.63
You can't do
this. You can't do that.
00:02:12.66\00:02:14.13
You can't eat this.
Why don't hold this for me?
00:02:14.20\00:02:16.80
Because I want to
make it clear to you
00:02:16.83\00:02:18.20
that these are laws of bondage
00:02:18.23\00:02:20.87
and I'm not in bondage.
00:02:20.90\00:02:22.47
Trusting, walking,
drinking... sunlight.
00:02:22.50\00:02:27.68
All right, look you are
not forced to keep the laws.
00:02:27.71\00:02:32.28
You see, the laws are to
actually give you freedom
00:02:32.31\00:02:36.69
not put you in bondage.
00:02:36.72\00:02:38.45
So you think this is
about bondage, right.
00:02:38.49\00:02:40.42
That's exactly what
this about. Take this back.
00:02:40.46\00:02:42.79
When we have more trust in God
00:02:42.82\00:02:45.13
that keeps us
from stressing out.
00:02:45.16\00:02:47.30
That's a benefit to you.
00:02:47.30\00:02:48.63
Being temperate in
eating-- what you eat,
00:02:48.66\00:02:51.10
and when you eat
and how much you eat.
00:02:51.13\00:02:53.54
Well, that keeps those
unwanted pounds off of you.
00:02:53.57\00:02:56.50
And I don't have to remind you
00:02:56.54\00:02:57.87
or tell you about
breathing air, fresh air.
00:02:57.91\00:03:01.34
Fresh air another one,
00:03:01.38\00:03:03.71
another chain of
oppression, thank you.
00:03:03.75\00:03:07.18
Trusting, walking,
eating, sunlight...
00:03:07.22\00:03:13.39
It's hard to
breath with a cookie
00:03:13.42\00:03:15.46
in my intemperate mouth.
00:03:15.49\00:03:16.96
I can't keep these laws.
00:03:16.99\00:03:18.33
It is great neither can
you? I hope you get my point.
00:03:18.36\00:03:22.60
Today we are gonna talk
about the laws of health.
00:03:22.63\00:03:24.63
We're gonna talk about
the joy that we receive
00:03:24.67\00:03:27.84
in just keeping them.
00:03:27.87\00:03:29.27
And the freedom they
bring from disease and sickness.
00:03:29.30\00:03:35.54
Hey, I heard that. Roll it.
00:03:35.58\00:03:38.85
Well, hello and
welcome to the studio,
00:04:16.35\00:04:19.15
studio of "From
Sickness to Health."
00:04:19.19\00:04:20.76
I'm your host and I'm
with a couple of my friends
00:04:20.79\00:04:24.49
here in the studio.
00:04:24.53\00:04:25.86
And we are happy
that you have joined us.
00:04:25.89\00:04:27.50
We are gonna have a
great conversation today
00:04:27.56\00:04:30.03
because I'm
excited about the topic.
00:04:30.07\00:04:31.97
We are talking
about the laws of health
00:04:32.00\00:04:36.27
or as I like to put
it the laws of love.
00:04:36.30\00:04:40.11
So joining me
here is Mwamiko Madden
00:04:40.14\00:04:43.75
who is a health
evangelist out of Canada
00:04:43.78\00:04:46.41
and he is no
stranger to this program.
00:04:46.45\00:04:48.25
So we welcome you.
00:04:48.28\00:04:49.62
And also we here
with Dr. Yvonne Lewis
00:04:49.65\00:04:52.62
who a naturopathic doctor
00:04:52.65\00:04:54.89
but also she is
a general manager
00:04:54.92\00:04:56.62
of Dare to Dream Network,
00:04:56.66\00:04:58.76
the very Network that
you're seeing this program on.
00:04:58.79\00:05:01.76
Welcome to the program.
00:05:01.80\00:05:03.63
It's great to
be here, thank you.
00:05:03.67\00:05:05.00
I'm so happy
that you are all here.
00:05:05.03\00:05:06.37
We are gonna talk
about the laws of health.
00:05:06.40\00:05:07.84
How they are the laws
of love that they free us
00:05:07.87\00:05:11.41
and they should just
bring joy to our souls
00:05:11.44\00:05:14.61
and health to our bodies.
00:05:14.64\00:05:16.11
But before we get into
it we're gonna take a look
00:05:16.14\00:05:18.51
at what Sickness has cooked up.
00:05:18.55\00:05:20.85
I don't know what it
is. So don't be shocked.
00:05:20.88\00:05:22.98
All right, let's take a look.
00:05:23.02\00:05:24.35
Thank you, Rico.
00:05:27.26\00:05:28.59
Today I'm going to do something
a little bit different.
00:05:28.62\00:05:30.63
I'm going to interview
00:05:30.66\00:05:31.99
someone you may be
familiar with, the blue guy.
00:05:32.03\00:05:35.06
I'm going to interview
myself. Blue guy, come on out.
00:05:35.10\00:05:40.97
Glad you could make
today. I like your blue suit.
00:05:41.00\00:05:44.01
Oh, I like your suit, sure.
00:05:44.04\00:05:46.37
Okay, so about
these laws of health,
00:05:46.41\00:05:48.38
what are these laws of health?
00:05:48.41\00:05:50.58
Well, from what I can tell
00:05:50.61\00:05:52.05
they are bunch of
rules and restrictions
00:05:52.08\00:05:54.22
that take all
the fun out of life.
00:05:54.25\00:05:56.55
My thoughts exactly, they
put you in bondage, right.
00:05:56.58\00:06:00.42
Oh, you read my mind.
00:06:00.46\00:06:02.09
Oh, we think alike.
00:06:02.12\00:06:04.26
You're good. Oh,
we're so in sync.
00:06:04.29\00:06:07.93
Okay just one last question,
00:06:07.96\00:06:09.86
if someone were to perhaps
keep these laws of health
00:06:09.90\00:06:15.00
can they get sick?
00:06:15.04\00:06:16.91
Well, that's the thing.
00:06:16.94\00:06:19.17
If people follow
the laws of health,
00:06:19.21\00:06:21.84
very rarely do they get sick
00:06:21.88\00:06:24.11
but hey that's our
little secret okay.
00:06:24.15\00:06:26.78
Oh, you are good.
00:06:26.82\00:06:28.45
Oh, no, you're good.
00:06:28.48\00:06:29.82
You're even
better. I like your style.
00:06:29.85\00:06:32.52
I like your
style. Back to you, Rico.
00:06:32.55\00:06:37.16
So you heard that? Yes.
00:06:37.19\00:06:39.36
I don't know what to say.
00:06:39.39\00:06:40.76
You know, when you
think about law and love.
00:06:40.80\00:06:45.27
Sometimes people
think it's an oxymoron
00:06:45.30\00:06:47.60
to say law equals love.
00:06:47.64\00:06:50.07
But really what government--
00:06:50.11\00:06:51.97
do you know of they has no law.
00:06:52.01\00:06:55.04
Very good point.
Where is the order?
00:06:55.08\00:06:57.38
where is the
order in a situation
00:06:57.41\00:06:59.51
where there is no law.
00:06:59.55\00:07:01.62
And also the word tells
us that the laws of God,
00:07:01.65\00:07:04.65
is Holy and perfect.
00:07:04.69\00:07:06.72
And good. And good.
00:07:06.76\00:07:09.02
So we are talking
about God's character here,
00:07:09.06\00:07:12.79
as manifested in this law.
00:07:12.83\00:07:14.36
Why shouldn't
there be laws of health?
00:07:14.40\00:07:18.17
That's right. That's right.
00:07:18.20\00:07:19.77
Now you said it's an oxymoron
00:07:19.80\00:07:22.17
so we are
talking about something
00:07:22.20\00:07:23.54
that is mutually exclusive.
00:07:23.57\00:07:25.94
It's something that they
don't go together, right.
00:07:25.97\00:07:28.64
Oh, what nearly people
think that they wouldn't.
00:07:28.68\00:07:31.01
Right.
00:07:31.05\00:07:32.68
But we are finding
here according to God's Word
00:07:32.71\00:07:35.62
they actually blend
very perfectly together
00:07:35.65\00:07:38.72
because if God did
not have laws well,
00:07:38.75\00:07:42.72
it would be similar
00:07:42.76\00:07:44.09
to what our society
would be without law.
00:07:44.13\00:07:46.66
It would be
total, what's the word?
00:07:46.70\00:07:48.93
Anarchy. Anarchy.
00:07:48.96\00:07:50.30
There you go.
00:07:50.33\00:07:51.67
See, I don't even
have, that's the case,
00:07:51.70\00:07:53.17
I didn't even have
to give you the word.
00:07:53.20\00:07:54.77
Yeah, that's
right. It's right there.
00:07:54.80\00:07:56.27
Right there. That's right.
00:07:56.30\00:07:57.67
So we are talking about
something that works together
00:07:57.71\00:08:00.78
and God's love is really
the thing that drives the law.
00:08:00.81\00:08:05.78
It's like a child,
00:08:05.81\00:08:07.25
you wouldn't let
your child go out
00:08:07.28\00:08:08.98
and play in the street.
00:08:09.02\00:08:10.65
So God says here
are the boundaries,
00:08:10.69\00:08:13.29
stay inside these
boundaries and you'll be safe.
00:08:13.32\00:08:17.33
But even beyond that I would add
00:08:17.36\00:08:19.26
that in 1 John
4:8 it tells us that,
00:08:19.29\00:08:21.43
God is love, right.
00:08:21.46\00:08:23.13
God is not just
loving He is love.
00:08:23.16\00:08:25.17
Which means everything
that God does is for who?
00:08:25.20\00:08:28.94
It's for us.
00:08:28.97\00:08:30.31
It's an outward
expression of His.
00:08:30.34\00:08:31.67
It's an outward
expression of love.
00:08:31.71\00:08:33.04
So God is not doing
anything for Himself.
00:08:33.07\00:08:34.68
Any time He asks
us to do something
00:08:34.71\00:08:36.68
its actually
entirely for our benefit.
00:08:36.71\00:08:40.18
In fact, you know
what, as I was studying this,
00:08:40.22\00:08:43.25
I was thinking
about talking specifically
00:08:43.28\00:08:45.05
about the laws of health.
00:08:45.09\00:08:46.42
I said now Lord,
00:08:46.45\00:08:47.96
if You have laws of health
00:08:47.99\00:08:51.76
then You are not
going to mention them
00:08:51.79\00:08:54.00
later on somewhere in Your book,
00:08:54.03\00:08:56.53
You probably gonna
mention them in beginning.
00:08:56.56\00:08:59.47
So let's make sure that
our audiences understanding
00:08:59.50\00:09:01.84
what we are talking about.
00:09:01.87\00:09:03.20
What are these laws of health?
00:09:03.24\00:09:04.74
And we have
something we call the New Life.
00:09:04.77\00:09:07.64
That's how we teach it,
00:09:07.68\00:09:09.01
we teach it from ten principles
00:09:09.04\00:09:11.31
where a lot of people
say its eight laws of health
00:09:11.35\00:09:13.01
and that's fine too.
00:09:13.05\00:09:14.38
But we see ten principles
that God gave right there.
00:09:14.42\00:09:17.92
Where? In the garden.
00:09:17.95\00:09:19.45
Now I want to be clear.
00:09:19.49\00:09:21.29
Why do we go to the garden?
00:09:21.32\00:09:23.32
And when I say that
the Book of Genesis,
00:09:23.36\00:09:25.26
the very first
book of the Bible.
00:09:25.29\00:09:26.96
Why do we go there?
00:09:27.00\00:09:28.30
Well, there was a
time in the life of Jesus
00:09:28.33\00:09:30.67
where people were
asking Him about the divorce
00:09:30.70\00:09:32.43
and people said well,
00:09:32.47\00:09:33.87
you know, Moses,
00:09:33.90\00:09:35.24
he gave us the
bill of the divorcement
00:09:35.27\00:09:36.74
and Jesus says
00:09:36.77\00:09:38.11
"Well, it wasn't that way" when?
00:09:38.14\00:09:41.68
In the
beginning. In the beginning.
00:09:41.71\00:09:43.08
So when He wanted
establish the principle
00:09:43.11\00:09:45.18
that He meant He took
them back to the beginning.
00:09:45.21\00:09:47.58
So in the beginning we see
that God establishes sunlight,
00:09:47.62\00:09:51.82
He starts in the
beginning He establishes trust,
00:09:51.85\00:09:55.72
a trust relationship.
00:09:55.76\00:09:57.63
In fact, the very first words
what you all think about this.
00:09:57.66\00:10:00.30
The very first
words in the Bible are
00:10:00.33\00:10:02.80
"In the beginning God." God.
00:10:02.83\00:10:07.44
So everything He
does after that it says
00:10:07.47\00:10:09.77
"It was good."
00:10:09.80\00:10:12.04
And that word
"good" is actually towb,
00:10:12.07\00:10:14.94
T-O-W-B.
00:10:14.98\00:10:17.21
It's pronounced towb.
00:10:17.25\00:10:18.91
Which means for your benefit.
00:10:18.95\00:10:22.82
So what do you
all think about this?
00:10:22.85\00:10:24.52
Yeah, when I think about--
00:10:24.55\00:10:29.09
so often we had
this misconception
00:10:29.12\00:10:33.43
of who God is.
00:10:33.46\00:10:35.06
We don't really
understand the fact
00:10:35.10\00:10:37.67
that He's so relational.
00:10:37.70\00:10:39.67
He's not--
00:10:39.70\00:10:41.04
even let us make
man in our image.
00:10:41.07\00:10:44.77
It was the
plurality of that noun.
00:10:44.81\00:10:47.48
It's not just
one, it's God as one
00:10:47.51\00:10:51.38
but manifested in three persons.
00:10:51.41\00:10:54.02
So He is relational
00:10:54.05\00:10:56.22
and then He created
man for relationship.
00:10:56.25\00:11:00.52
So He's not gonna just
create us and say okay,
00:11:00.56\00:11:03.46
you're on your own.
00:11:03.49\00:11:04.83
Now do the best
you can, you know.
00:11:04.86\00:11:06.29
Go play in the street.
00:11:06.33\00:11:07.66
You're right,
play in the street.
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.00
You're right. Yeah.
00:11:09.03\00:11:10.50
As any parent
who loves his child
00:11:10.53\00:11:13.20
is gonna set up some parameters
00:11:13.23\00:11:15.64
to make sure that
they stay healthy.
00:11:15.67\00:11:17.31
What parent would not
do that? That's right.
00:11:17.34\00:11:19.51
But I was talking about
00:11:19.54\00:11:21.04
establishing the laws of health.
00:11:21.08\00:11:22.41
So we talked
about trusting in God,
00:11:22.44\00:11:24.48
sunshine, we are
talking about water,
00:11:24.51\00:11:27.15
we talked about
in one the programs
00:11:27.18\00:11:29.08
we need water.
00:11:29.12\00:11:30.45
God gives us water
00:11:30.49\00:11:31.82
and He says you
have to drink water.
00:11:31.85\00:11:33.19
He talks about rest.
00:11:33.22\00:11:34.56
In fact, you
know, what's amazing?
00:11:34.59\00:11:35.96
It's amazing that when He starts
00:11:35.99\00:11:37.33
this whole thing out
00:11:37.36\00:11:38.69
He says that
evening and the morning
00:11:38.73\00:11:40.06
were the first day.
00:11:40.10\00:11:41.40
So evening was
first and not the day.
00:11:41.43\00:11:44.37
So that connotes that,
00:11:44.40\00:11:46.43
you know, what it's
time to get some rest.
00:11:46.47\00:11:48.27
When the sun
goes down and we know,
00:11:48.30\00:11:50.04
we have all types
of scientific evidence
00:11:50.07\00:11:51.71
that there are
benefits to going in a bed
00:11:51.74\00:11:54.18
when it gets dark, right.
00:11:54.21\00:11:55.81
So there is the rest,
there is, there is exercise.
00:11:55.84\00:11:59.05
He gave man exercise
in the Garden, right.
00:11:59.08\00:12:02.42
What else, am I-- fresh air?
00:12:02.45\00:12:04.22
Fresh air He breathed
into man, the nostrils.
00:12:04.25\00:12:07.46
Yeah, then the man came alive.
00:12:07.49\00:12:08.82
And man came
alive but not only that,
00:12:08.86\00:12:11.03
now here's a
question, its crazy question.
00:12:11.06\00:12:13.36
But did God build
a palatial mansion
00:12:13.40\00:12:17.73
just gigantic
building for Adam to live in?
00:12:17.77\00:12:21.07
No, no, no, no, no.
00:12:21.10\00:12:22.44
They are living the
garden, in the open air.
00:12:22.47\00:12:24.01
But He could have built him--
00:12:24.04\00:12:26.41
because I mean it stays
00:12:26.44\00:12:27.78
in heave He is
gonna build us mansion
00:12:27.81\00:12:29.14
but in the
beginning what was it?
00:12:29.18\00:12:30.88
We're just in
the garden outdoors.
00:12:30.91\00:12:32.35
Outdoors.
00:12:32.38\00:12:33.72
So that connotes that
fresh air was important too.
00:12:33.75\00:12:36.69
And by the way,
00:12:36.72\00:12:38.05
was Adam did just
lived about 70 years?
00:12:38.09\00:12:39.65
No.
00:12:39.69\00:12:41.02
Adam supposed live forever.
00:12:41.06\00:12:42.49
So everything that was in garden
00:12:42.52\00:12:43.86
you're saying that
everything that was there
00:12:43.89\00:12:45.23
was designed to
help him to live forever?
00:12:45.26\00:12:48.06
And the tree of life.
00:12:48.10\00:12:49.43
And the tree of life.
00:12:49.46\00:12:51.33
Is for the
feeling of the nations.
00:12:51.37\00:12:53.27
We got so much
to-- this is exciting.
00:12:53.30\00:12:55.30
Okay, okay, let's do this.
00:12:55.34\00:12:57.34
Let's go and take
a look at this clip.
00:12:57.37\00:12:59.07
This is gonna blow you away.
00:12:59.11\00:13:00.51
I have even shown you guys this.
00:13:00.54\00:13:01.88
And I know when you see
it you're gonna go, wow.
00:13:01.91\00:13:03.75
Oh, good.
00:13:03.78\00:13:05.11
Let's take a look at it. Okay.
00:13:05.15\00:13:07.22
Now here's a tip.
00:13:07.25\00:13:08.58
If you really want a
long and healthy life
00:13:08.62\00:13:10.45
it may help to
live in a Blue Zone.
00:13:10.49\00:13:13.25
That is the term given by
00:13:13.29\00:13:14.62
the National
Geographic fellow Dan Buettner.
00:13:14.66\00:13:16.89
There are certain
parts of the world
00:13:16.93\00:13:18.26
where people are
most likely to live
00:13:18.29\00:13:20.10
to a 100 years old or more.
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.33
His bestselling book
is titled "The Blue Zones"
00:13:22.36\00:13:24.70
Lessons for Living Longer
00:13:24.73\00:13:26.27
From the People
Who've Lived the Longest.
00:13:26.30\00:13:28.07
And he's here to
tell us about it.
00:13:28.10\00:13:29.44
Dan, good morning.
Thanks for being here.
00:13:29.47\00:13:30.81
Good morning.
00:13:30.84\00:13:32.17
First of all what
is a Blue Zone exactly?
00:13:32.21\00:13:33.54
It's a demographically confirmed
00:13:33.58\00:13:35.61
geographically defined area
00:13:35.64\00:13:36.98
where people are
living the longest.
00:13:37.01\00:13:38.45
And we found five of them.
00:13:38.48\00:13:39.81
We found one in
Okinawa in Japan,
00:13:39.85\00:13:41.18
the longest living
woman on the planet.
00:13:41.22\00:13:42.55
Longest of men
living up on the High Lands
00:13:42.58\00:13:43.95
of the Sardinia,
00:13:43.99\00:13:45.45
Nicoya of Costa
Rica, Ikaria Greece,
00:13:45.49\00:13:48.86
and then the
longest of the Americans
00:13:48.89\00:13:50.89
right off the San
Bernardino freeway
00:13:50.93\00:13:52.53
near Los Angles.
00:13:52.56\00:13:53.90
The Seventh-day Adventist
00:13:53.93\00:13:55.23
and they are living
about ten years longer
00:13:55.26\00:13:57.23
than their North
American counterparts.
00:13:57.27\00:13:59.00
What I found
interesting in your research
00:13:59.03\00:14:00.70
is that this is not
rely on the individual.
00:14:00.74\00:14:03.41
You're really saying the
way to become a Blue Zone
00:14:03.44\00:14:05.81
is to address the
system as a whole.
00:14:05.84\00:14:07.68
What you mean by that?
00:14:07.71\00:14:09.04
Yeah, so at a certain point
00:14:09.08\00:14:10.41
you see these pride centenarians
00:14:10.45\00:14:11.78
who can stand on their head
00:14:11.81\00:14:13.15
or dance with
their spouse at a 106.
00:14:13.18\00:14:15.52
But you realize at 50,
00:14:15.55\00:14:16.89
they never said to themselves,
00:14:16.92\00:14:18.25
well, call doctor I'm gonna get
00:14:18.29\00:14:19.62
on that longevity
diet live hundred.
00:14:19.65\00:14:21.72
They never really tried
longevity happened to them.
00:14:21.76\00:14:24.59
So what my team tried do was
00:14:24.63\00:14:26.19
to look at the
environmental components
00:14:26.23\00:14:27.96
that nudge them all day,
00:14:27.96\00:14:29.70
they are eating a
little bit better,
00:14:29.73\00:14:31.47
moving it a little bit more
00:14:31.50\00:14:32.83
and the big
point socializing more
00:14:32.87\00:14:35.34
and having the
strong sense of purposes.
00:14:35.37\00:14:36.94
It turns out that
that conveys more longevity
00:14:36.97\00:14:39.24
than any pill you can take.
00:14:39.27\00:14:41.28
Look at what
the world is saying.
00:14:41.31\00:14:44.35
They're saying
exactly what the Bible says,
00:14:44.38\00:14:46.11
aren't they?
00:14:46.15\00:14:47.48
That you have a
people who are living
00:14:47.52\00:14:49.85
to 100 years or more,
00:14:49.88\00:14:51.69
it mentioned the
name Centenarians
00:14:51.72\00:14:53.79
that means 100 years.
00:14:53.82\00:14:56.02
Hundred years or
more and they are healthy
00:14:56.06\00:14:59.53
and they are just living life.
00:14:59.56\00:15:01.16
But it says it's not
because of just a diet
00:15:01.20\00:15:04.77
and we have found when
you really look into this
00:15:04.80\00:15:07.64
what other things are
they experiencing this
00:15:07.67\00:15:11.21
causing them to live so long?
00:15:11.24\00:15:13.31
It can't just be nutrition,
it has to be a lifestyle.
00:15:13.34\00:15:17.71
A lifestyle. It has
to be the lifestyle.
00:15:17.75\00:15:19.85
Now what do you
mean by lifestyle?
00:15:19.88\00:15:21.48
Let's break that down.
00:15:21.52\00:15:22.85
It's the way you eat,
it's the way you rest,
00:15:22.88\00:15:26.96
it's the way
you, stress reduction.
00:15:26.99\00:15:31.46
It's all of these.
00:15:31.49\00:15:33.19
I want you to continue
but you said stress reduction,
00:15:33.23\00:15:36.16
because everything
you are saying notice
00:15:36.20\00:15:37.83
is going back to
the laws of health
00:15:37.87\00:15:39.60
that we studied in Genesis.
00:15:39.63\00:15:41.24
So you say is how you rest,
00:15:41.27\00:15:43.07
its the nutrition
00:15:43.10\00:15:46.01
He gave us a diet,
00:15:46.04\00:15:47.38
okay but you
said not having stress
00:15:47.41\00:15:50.71
or stress reduction.
00:15:50.75\00:15:52.28
What is that connected to?
00:15:52.31\00:15:54.78
And that's cast
all you cares upon Him
00:15:54.82\00:15:57.15
because He cares for you.
00:15:57.19\00:15:58.72
Or trust. Trust.
00:15:58.75\00:16:00.59
Trust in what? Trust.
00:16:00.62\00:16:02.29
Trust in what? Trust in who?
00:16:02.32\00:16:04.29
Trust in God. Trust in God.
00:16:04.33\00:16:05.66
Now someone is probably saying,
well, you know, you know,
00:16:05.69\00:16:07.20
I kind of tried the God
thing and so you're saying
00:16:07.23\00:16:10.47
if I don't trust God
I'm not gonna be healthy.
00:16:10.50\00:16:13.64
Well, you know...
00:16:13.67\00:16:16.87
Well, you know what,
you know, people ask me
00:16:16.91\00:16:18.77
because we say trust
more and stress less.
00:16:18.81\00:16:21.21
Trust more and stress less.
00:16:21.24\00:16:23.51
And people say well,
what do want me to trust?
00:16:23.55\00:16:25.55
Well, they are
not ready to hear that
00:16:25.58\00:16:27.15
you know, God is the
one, they have to trust in.
00:16:27.18\00:16:29.48
Well, I just say but
don't trust in yourself.
00:16:29.52\00:16:31.69
If you have
diabetes, if you have,
00:16:31.72\00:16:34.39
you know, heart
disease and all these things
00:16:34.42\00:16:36.69
who you been trusting in?
00:16:36.73\00:16:38.49
You have been
trusting in yourself
00:16:38.53\00:16:40.03
and that's what
got you in the mess.
00:16:40.06\00:16:41.86
So if want to get out the mess
00:16:41.90\00:16:43.37
why don't you trust
what God set up and may be--
00:16:43.40\00:16:46.23
now even if you don't
want to attach Him to it
00:16:46.27\00:16:48.44
but if you just get
fresh air, you get exercise,
00:16:48.47\00:16:51.51
eat the right
food, drink water, right.
00:16:51.54\00:16:53.88
You do those
things get some sunshine.
00:16:53.91\00:16:56.48
All of these things show
that you will be healthier.
00:16:56.51\00:17:00.15
That's right. Right.
00:17:00.18\00:17:01.85
And these are changes
that don't require a lot.
00:17:01.88\00:17:06.45
You know, it's to
get more sunshine,
00:17:06.49\00:17:09.19
to get a littler bit more rest--
00:17:09.22\00:17:10.56
I'm a bit provocative.
00:17:10.59\00:17:11.93
You know. Okay, okay.
00:17:11.96\00:17:13.29
But they are expensive. Well--
00:17:13.33\00:17:14.93
Are they expensive? Is
water, is water expensive?
00:17:14.96\00:17:17.53
They're free.
Is water expensive?
00:17:17.57\00:17:20.34
And I'll throw another thing,
00:17:20.37\00:17:21.70
people always
tend to say their like,
00:17:21.74\00:17:23.07
well, I'm gonna die any
way, you know, what I mean?
00:17:23.10\00:17:25.04
Yeah. I'm just kidding.
00:17:25.07\00:17:26.41
Everybody is gonna
die but then Ecclesiasts--
00:17:26.44\00:17:27.94
How many times
have I heard that?
00:17:27.98\00:17:29.31
I know, I know where
you're going with this.
00:17:29.34\00:17:30.75
But I want to set
that up a little more
00:17:30.78\00:17:32.51
because people do say
that when you tell them,
00:17:32.55\00:17:34.45
well, you know
what you know what I--
00:17:34.48\00:17:37.02
you're gonna die from something.
00:17:37.05\00:17:38.49
You heard that?
Yeah, I heard that.
00:17:38.52\00:17:40.29
You know, am I gonna live long
00:17:40.32\00:17:41.66
or it's just gonna feel like it?
00:17:41.69\00:17:43.02
Right. Right.
00:17:43.06\00:17:44.39
Exactly. Okay but
the Bible says what?
00:17:44.43\00:17:45.76
In Ecclesiastes 7:17 it says
00:17:45.79\00:17:47.13
" Be not over much
wicked, neither be thou foolish,
00:17:47.20\00:17:49.83
why shouldest thou
die before thy time?"
00:17:49.86\00:17:52.70
And the idea of
losing the potential
00:17:52.73\00:17:54.54
of how long you can live
00:17:54.57\00:17:55.90
is what people
should think about.
00:17:55.94\00:17:57.31
You can live long and
strong instead of dying short
00:17:57.34\00:18:01.14
and just not
having an enjoyable life.
00:18:01.18\00:18:04.08
Right. Right. Right.
00:18:04.11\00:18:05.45
And that's
important to consider because,
00:18:05.48\00:18:07.08
you know on other programs
00:18:07.12\00:18:08.45
we have talked
about how people say,
00:18:08.48\00:18:09.82
well, you know what,
00:18:09.85\00:18:11.19
my grandmother she lived
the way she wanted to live,
00:18:11.22\00:18:14.56
she ate what she
wanted to eat and,
00:18:14.59\00:18:16.46
you know, she even drank alcohol
00:18:16.49\00:18:18.56
and smoked and she lived,
00:18:18.59\00:18:19.93
she was 90-years-old.
00:18:19.96\00:18:21.36
But we find that she was sick
00:18:21.40\00:18:22.93
for the last 20
years of her life.
00:18:22.96\00:18:24.33
Exactly. In a wheelchair.
00:18:24.37\00:18:25.73
So it has to be there
to death on the wheelchair.
00:18:25.77\00:18:28.14
But at the same time,
00:18:28.17\00:18:29.50
not these people that they
talked about in Loma Linda.
00:18:29.54\00:18:32.67
They are
standing on their heads.
00:18:32.71\00:18:34.04
Yes. Swimming, skiing.
00:18:34.08\00:18:37.98
You know, and
then when it's time
00:18:38.01\00:18:39.61
there are almost like Moses.
00:18:39.65\00:18:40.98
They just, they just--
00:18:41.02\00:18:42.35
when it's time they just die.
00:18:42.38\00:18:43.72
It's time, yeah, yeah.
00:18:43.75\00:18:45.09
It's not like oh,
you know, I'm dying,
00:18:45.12\00:18:46.55
five years
later I'm still dying.
00:18:46.59\00:18:49.56
It's not just they
want. Nobody wants that.
00:18:49.59\00:18:51.16
Not just quantity
but quality as well.
00:18:51.19\00:18:52.93
And that's the key
00:18:52.96\00:18:54.30
I think when we
go quality of life
00:18:54.30\00:18:56.36
not just hanging in there,
00:18:56.40\00:18:58.97
you know, until you are 100
and being miserable or having,
00:18:59.00\00:19:02.70
you know, all
these different issues
00:19:02.74\00:19:04.24
but being healthy,
being a young one hundred.
00:19:04.27\00:19:07.28
I think that and God
knew when He set forth
00:19:07.31\00:19:10.85
these principles in Genesis.
00:19:10.88\00:19:12.71
He knew this is the manual.
00:19:12.75\00:19:15.52
We came with a manual. Right.
00:19:15.55\00:19:17.59
Wow. Right with a
operations manual.
00:19:17.62\00:19:20.22
This is how we are to
live. The Bible is the manual.
00:19:20.26\00:19:23.32
And you know what that
made me to think about?
00:19:23.36\00:19:24.83
Made me think about a car.
00:19:24.86\00:19:27.10
Because when we buy
a car we get a manual
00:19:27.13\00:19:31.83
and we call that
the owner's manual.
00:19:31.87\00:19:34.10
This Book is
God's owner's manual
00:19:34.14\00:19:37.97
for our lives, for human body.
00:19:38.01\00:19:40.11
And if you get a car--
00:19:40.14\00:19:41.81
let's be reasonable here, right.
00:19:41.84\00:19:43.78
You get a car and it tells you
00:19:43.81\00:19:47.18
the owner's manual
says you put this type of--
00:19:47.22\00:19:49.68
Fuel.
00:19:49.72\00:19:51.05
Fuel in it, this type of oil,
00:19:51.09\00:19:52.42
you get the oil
changed this often or whatever.
00:19:52.45\00:19:54.99
If you don't do it you don't get
00:19:55.02\00:19:56.93
the manufacturers
guarantee, do you?
00:19:56.96\00:19:58.89
No. That's
right. You can decide.
00:19:58.93\00:20:00.26
Look, I have
decided I'm not gonna use
00:20:00.30\00:20:03.33
high octane gasoline.
00:20:03.37\00:20:05.30
It's a little
cheaper, they just put
00:20:05.33\00:20:06.67
a little Coca Cola in there.
00:20:06.70\00:20:08.04
Okay oh, sorry.
00:20:08.07\00:20:11.44
But you decided you want to
put something else in the tank
00:20:11.47\00:20:14.64
you are not gonna
get the guarantee, right.
00:20:14.68\00:20:17.28
So God has given
us an owner's manual
00:20:17.31\00:20:19.48
if we follow it
then we will find health.
00:20:19.51\00:20:22.32
Is that right? Yes.
00:20:22.35\00:20:23.69
The way-- one
way that I look at it
00:20:23.72\00:20:25.05
to is its almost
like a crown of royalty.
00:20:25.09\00:20:27.49
When you take it on
you're saying I'm a son
00:20:27.52\00:20:29.99
or daughter of the King.
00:20:30.03\00:20:31.36
Because a prince and a king
00:20:31.39\00:20:32.73
they don't live
like everybody else.
00:20:32.76\00:20:34.83
They have, they have reason
that they carry themselves
00:20:34.83\00:20:37.13
in a way that they
have better posture.
00:20:37.17\00:20:38.87
They walk in a certain way,
00:20:38.90\00:20:40.24
they eat a certain diet
00:20:40.27\00:20:41.60
and they're reflecting that fact
00:20:41.64\00:20:42.97
they are not
living for themselves
00:20:43.00\00:20:44.34
they are living
because they are royalty.
00:20:44.37\00:20:47.11
And I think that something
that we should look at it as,
00:20:47.14\00:20:49.08
it's a benefit to us.
00:20:49.11\00:20:50.45
It's not something that
should take away from us.
00:20:50.48\00:20:51.81
I'm gonna go somewhere
with the idea of bondage
00:20:51.85\00:20:54.12
because Sickness
says it's bondage.
00:20:54.15\00:20:55.78
But you are
about to say something.
00:20:55.82\00:20:57.65
Okay, we come back to you again.
00:20:57.69\00:20:59.02
I got into what he
was saying it's like--
00:20:59.05\00:21:00.46
Okay, we'll come back to it.
00:21:00.49\00:21:01.82
Now I want to read
a text of scripture
00:21:01.86\00:21:04.19
before we take a look
00:21:04.23\00:21:05.56
at what's
happening on the streets.
00:21:05.59\00:21:07.76
Do people know
about laws of health?
00:21:07.83\00:21:09.90
You know, in fact why
don't we take a look at that
00:21:09.93\00:21:12.03
and we'll come back
and I'll read this text.
00:21:12.07\00:21:13.50
As I want to pray for us
before we read it, right.
00:21:13.54\00:21:14.87
Oh, great, good.
Let's take a look.
00:21:14.90\00:21:18.77
Hey, Rico.
00:21:18.81\00:21:20.14
So I looked all over Hollywood
00:21:20.18\00:21:21.51
for the smartest looking
person and I settled for her.
00:21:21.54\00:21:24.98
The tallest woman in Hollywood.
00:21:25.01\00:21:27.08
Now ma'am, let me ask you
00:21:27.12\00:21:28.45
what are the laws of health?
00:21:28.48\00:21:30.95
There are laws?
00:21:30.99\00:21:33.82
I should stop right there.
00:21:33.86\00:21:35.26
I mean Rico, really
people don't even know
00:21:35.29\00:21:36.83
what these laws are.
00:21:36.86\00:21:38.19
Have you ever heard
of the laws of health?
00:21:38.23\00:21:39.69
Yes, I have.
00:21:39.73\00:21:41.03
Would you tell me some
of these laws of health?
00:21:41.06\00:21:43.23
Eating right, and staying fit.
00:21:43.26\00:21:45.57
Oh my, that's enough I
don't want to hear anymore.
00:21:45.60\00:21:49.37
Why would you say that
eating is a law of health?
00:21:49.40\00:21:51.44
If I break it am I
gonna get in trouble?
00:21:51.47\00:21:54.21
No, I figured
that say for instance
00:21:54.24\00:21:55.61
if you are eating
healthy instead of--
00:21:55.64\00:21:56.98
it's actually
more for your body.
00:21:57.01\00:21:58.55
Oh, so you are one
of those health nuts?
00:21:58.58\00:22:00.22
Not entirely but
I do like my figure.
00:22:00.25\00:22:02.58
Oh, he likes his
figure. Oh, good grief.
00:22:02.62\00:22:04.72
Get out of here, cody,
00:22:04.75\00:22:06.09
I need somebody real
out here. Not leaf eaters.
00:22:06.12\00:22:09.29
Anybody not a leaf
eater? How are you today?
00:22:09.32\00:22:11.79
How are you? I'm wonderful.
00:22:11.83\00:22:13.40
Now tell me what
are the laws of health?
00:22:13.43\00:22:15.23
I don't know.
00:22:15.26\00:22:17.13
No, there are not
that important, are they?
00:22:17.17\00:22:18.50
No, not to me.
00:22:18.53\00:22:19.87
No, not to me either.
I like this lady already.
00:22:19.90\00:22:21.84
Not to me.
00:22:21.87\00:22:23.20
Rico my friend,
00:22:23.24\00:22:24.57
he doesn't know what
the laws of health are.
00:22:24.61\00:22:25.94
People don't really
care let's be honest.
00:22:25.97\00:22:28.04
Back to you.
00:22:28.08\00:22:30.11
Okay, first of
all people have never
00:22:30.15\00:22:31.91
even heard of laws of health.
00:22:31.95\00:22:33.95
Right.
00:22:33.98\00:22:35.32
They've heard about
the law of, you know,
00:22:35.35\00:22:37.89
red light and, you know,
the law that's of the land
00:22:37.92\00:22:41.46
but they haven't heard
that there are actual laws
00:22:41.49\00:22:43.69
that govern our
bodies, our physiology.
00:22:43.73\00:22:47.20
And because of it many people
00:22:47.23\00:22:49.90
find themselves in bondage.
00:22:49.93\00:22:52.50
Right? Absolutely.
00:22:52.53\00:22:53.87
See if you knew that
your lungs were only designed
00:22:53.90\00:22:58.57
to breathe in fresh air, right.
00:22:58.61\00:23:03.04
To just bring in oxygen
as even when God breathe
00:23:03.08\00:23:07.28
into man's
nostrils the breath of life.
00:23:07.32\00:23:11.32
By the way the
best healing breathe
00:23:11.35\00:23:13.59
that you can take
is through the nostrils
00:23:13.62\00:23:15.72
just like it is in the
Bible, owner's manual, right.
00:23:15.76\00:23:19.19
But then someone decides
I want to smoke cigarettes
00:23:19.23\00:23:22.00
and put nicotine
and tar in my lungs.
00:23:22.03\00:23:26.80
They're in
bondage. They're in bondage.
00:23:26.84\00:23:28.90
They're in bondage
because now they can't stop.
00:23:28.94\00:23:31.07
That's right. Right.
00:23:31.11\00:23:32.77
Okay, I'm sorry go ahead.
00:23:32.81\00:23:34.14
No, no go ahead
finish your thought.
00:23:34.18\00:23:35.51
I'm gonna read a
text of scripture
00:23:35.54\00:23:37.21
and I want us to pray for us
00:23:37.25\00:23:38.58
because we want to
have the understanding
00:23:38.61\00:23:40.08
but we also want our audience
to have an understanding.
00:23:40.12\00:23:42.38
I don't believe that
you get the understanding
00:23:42.42\00:23:43.75
without the Spirit of God.
00:23:43.79\00:23:45.12
Father in heaven,
00:23:45.15\00:23:46.49
thank you so much for Your word.
00:23:46.52\00:23:47.86
Please speak to our minds,
00:23:47.89\00:23:49.22
make it clear for
us and for everyone
00:23:49.26\00:23:50.66
who is listening in Jesus' name.
00:23:50.69\00:23:52.49
The Bible says in Exodus
20:1 this is God speaking.
00:23:52.53\00:23:57.53
He's just brought
the children of Israel
00:23:57.57\00:23:58.90
out of Egypt and He says
00:23:58.93\00:24:00.84
"And God spake all these words,
00:24:00.87\00:24:02.37
saying, I am the Lord thy God,
00:24:02.40\00:24:05.74
which have brought thee
out of the land of Egypt,
00:24:05.77\00:24:09.44
out of the house of bondage."
00:24:09.48\00:24:13.75
So Egypt was not
only a place of captivity,
00:24:13.78\00:24:17.39
but it also you'll find
out later on in Deuteronomy
00:24:17.42\00:24:19.52
it was the place of sickness
00:24:19.55\00:24:21.86
because the
people there were sick.
00:24:21.89\00:24:24.39
Egyptians did not
live very long lives.
00:24:24.43\00:24:27.13
They were not healthy.
00:24:27.13\00:24:28.53
Even today they
can take the mummies
00:24:28.56\00:24:31.13
and through from
paralegal pathologists
00:24:31.17\00:24:34.44
who study the ancients and
study the pathology disease
00:24:34.47\00:24:36.87
and so forth they see
00:24:36.91\00:24:38.24
that they had
hardening of the arteries,
00:24:38.27\00:24:40.11
they had cancer,
they had all these things.
00:24:40.14\00:24:42.58
So God was taking His
people, that was the bondage,
00:24:42.61\00:24:46.21
the sickness that was there
and He brings them into health.
00:24:46.25\00:24:49.52
Wait a minute, this show is
called "Sickness to Health."
00:24:49.55\00:24:51.55
Come on. Come on now.
00:24:51.59\00:24:54.52
We want to take you
from bondage into health.
00:24:54.56\00:24:58.86
That's right. That's right.
00:24:58.89\00:25:01.53
So many people are in bondage
to so many different things
00:25:01.56\00:25:05.80
and God came to
set us free from that.
00:25:05.83\00:25:08.87
To set us free from addiction.
00:25:08.90\00:25:11.27
Whether its food
addiction or narcotics,
00:25:11.31\00:25:15.21
or nicotine or whatever.
00:25:15.24\00:25:17.78
God in His mercy
has given us these laws
00:25:17.81\00:25:22.68
and that will set us
free from the bondage.
00:25:22.72\00:25:26.69
So the text that
you read was perfect.
00:25:26.72\00:25:29.39
He was the one who led
the Egyptians out of bondage
00:25:29.42\00:25:33.06
and He is the
one that will lead us
00:25:33.09\00:25:35.86
out of the bondage of sin.
00:25:35.90\00:25:38.67
And these health laws
00:25:38.70\00:25:40.67
can help to set us
free from that bondage.
00:25:40.70\00:25:43.61
Let's talk about
that for few seconds here.
00:25:43.64\00:25:45.67
How will the health
laws that are given there,
00:25:45.71\00:25:49.01
how will they help us to be free
00:25:49.04\00:25:51.18
not only from the
sickness but also form sin.
00:25:51.21\00:25:54.45
Because let's be
honest most people don't think
00:25:54.48\00:25:57.92
that there is any
type of connection.
00:25:57.95\00:26:00.12
I think one of
the biggest things
00:26:00.16\00:26:01.49
that helps us with
is slave mentality.
00:26:01.52\00:26:04.09
We tend to think oh,
my grandfather had this,
00:26:04.13\00:26:06.70
my father had this,
so I have to have this.
00:26:06.73\00:26:09.30
I'm bound, bound to
have the same disease.
00:26:09.33\00:26:13.34
But the whole idea of the fact
00:26:13.37\00:26:14.74
that God designed
is He's letting us know
00:26:14.77\00:26:16.27
He's a rational God.
00:26:16.30\00:26:17.67
And things have-- that
we do have a consequence.
00:26:17.71\00:26:20.64
So we can learn
about the laws of health
00:26:20.68\00:26:22.38
so that we have a
control over our destiny.
00:26:22.41\00:26:25.25
It's not something
we are bound to have.
00:26:25.28\00:26:27.02
We can change the
direction of where our genes
00:26:27.05\00:26:29.32
are even telling us to go.
00:26:29.35\00:26:30.92
We have control and
therefore we are free.
00:26:30.95\00:26:32.95
Oh, that's good.
That's a rich stuff.
00:26:32.99\00:26:34.32
That's good. That's good.
00:26:34.36\00:26:35.69
So what you are saying
then is when someone has,
00:26:35.72\00:26:38.96
you know, say for instance
00:26:38.99\00:26:40.66
diabetes has been
in the family, yeah.
00:26:40.70\00:26:44.33
It's been in the genes. Right?
00:26:44.37\00:26:46.90
So a person says
well, I'm bound by that.
00:26:46.94\00:26:49.97
I have no options.
00:26:50.01\00:26:51.34
In fact, let's be honest.
00:26:51.37\00:26:52.84
I heard it in our
community people say
00:26:52.87\00:26:54.48
well, my mom had it and,
00:26:54.51\00:26:56.24
you know, and grandma had it so,
00:26:56.28\00:26:58.98
you know, in your
family history is important.
00:26:59.01\00:27:01.58
It is good to look at that
00:27:01.62\00:27:02.95
but if you're
doing the same thing,
00:27:02.98\00:27:05.09
if you are walking in
the same bondage as them
00:27:05.12\00:27:09.39
then you are gonna be bound.
00:27:09.42\00:27:10.76
Yes.
00:27:10.79\00:27:12.13
You know one of things
00:27:12.16\00:27:13.50
we say about this
particular topic we say,
00:27:13.53\00:27:18.53
you know, we should
stop in the name of the love.
00:27:18.57\00:27:20.84
You know, it's a
common expression
00:27:20.87\00:27:23.27
and I think they're
supreme to the song.
00:27:23.30\00:27:24.64
Yeah. There you are.
00:27:24.67\00:27:26.78
It was based on stop
in the name of the law
00:27:26.81\00:27:29.01
which was a very
common expression with--
00:27:29.04\00:27:32.48
you know, some member of the law
00:27:32.51\00:27:34.75
who was telling someone to stop
00:27:34.78\00:27:36.12
because they
have done something.
00:27:36.15\00:27:37.49
Right. Right.
00:27:37.52\00:27:38.85
But we are
thinking in this program
00:27:38.89\00:27:40.22
we should stop in
the name of the love.
00:27:40.26\00:27:41.59
Stop what?
00:27:41.62\00:27:42.96
Stop the dietary practices
that are causing us sickness.
00:27:42.99\00:27:46.90
Stop the
lifestyles as you brought out
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.80
that are causing
to be in bondage.
00:27:49.83\00:27:52.10
Why because we have loved ones,
we love them and they love us.
00:27:52.13\00:27:57.21
If we are sick how can
we have a full relationship?
00:27:57.24\00:28:00.98
But take it as
another step further.
00:28:01.01\00:28:03.14
How about our love to
God? We should love our God.
00:28:03.18\00:28:06.61
We should love Him
because He loves us.
00:28:06.65\00:28:09.52
You know, we could
keep going. Oh, for sure.
00:28:09.55\00:28:11.15
Because I want
to show there needs
00:28:11.19\00:28:12.52
to be a part two to this.
00:28:12.55\00:28:13.89
I want to thank you both
for being here to talk about.
00:28:13.92\00:28:16.26
What it's over? It's over.
00:28:16.29\00:28:17.63
What? Wow!
00:28:17.66\00:28:18.99
Thank you so
much for being here.
00:28:19.03\00:28:20.36
God bless you
and we will see you
00:28:20.40\00:28:21.70
the next time on
"From Sickness to Health."
00:28:21.73\00:28:23.33
God bless you.
00:28:23.37\00:28:24.70
In the 1 John 5:3 the Bible says
00:28:29.00\00:28:32.84
"And this is the love of God,
that we keep his commandments
00:28:32.87\00:28:36.58
and his commandments or
his law are not grievous."
00:28:36.61\00:28:41.62
You know, if the
commandments are the law of God
00:28:41.65\00:28:45.42
then we ought to keep them,
00:28:45.45\00:28:47.02
not to try to impress God
00:28:47.06\00:28:49.46
or anybody else for that matter.
00:28:49.49\00:28:51.49
Now to be fair,
00:28:51.53\00:28:52.96
some have put the
laws of God on people
00:28:52.99\00:28:56.77
and cause them to
feel burdened with the law.
00:28:56.80\00:29:00.20
Now, I've been
guilty a time or two
00:29:00.24\00:29:02.94
but when I began to
understand Who God is
00:29:02.97\00:29:06.21
and that His law
has been given to us
00:29:06.24\00:29:08.88
for the same reason
00:29:08.91\00:29:10.25
that that the law of
not running a red light
00:29:10.28\00:29:12.51
has been given.
00:29:12.55\00:29:13.88
It's for our protection.
00:29:13.92\00:29:15.25
We keep them
because God loves us.
00:29:15.28\00:29:18.85
So when you're under His law
00:29:18.89\00:29:21.89
you're under His
protection of love.
00:29:21.92\00:29:25.76
And that's freedom.
00:29:25.79\00:29:27.36
If I'm supposed to feel free
why do I feel so restricted?
00:29:27.40\00:29:31.73
I'll tell you why.
00:29:31.77\00:29:33.10
Because they are
impossible to keep,
00:29:33.13\00:29:34.87
that's why people
can't keep the laws.
00:29:34.90\00:29:37.74
I'm stressed
out, I need to smoke.
00:29:37.77\00:29:40.41
Wait, wait. No one
smokes on this program.
00:29:40.44\00:29:43.45
Did you know that
they have to by law
00:29:43.48\00:29:46.48
put on that pack of cigarettes
00:29:46.51\00:29:49.25
a warning that
smoking causes cancer.
00:29:49.28\00:29:52.02
There you go
again, more restrictions.
00:29:52.05\00:29:54.46
Don't you realize those
are chains of bondage, Rico?
00:29:54.49\00:29:57.79
Okay, all right.
Let me try something.
00:29:57.83\00:30:00.76
May I have one of your
cigarettes and the lighter?
00:30:00.80\00:30:02.83
Oh, now we are talking.
00:30:02.86\00:30:05.80
I have the freedom to choose
00:30:05.83\00:30:08.94
to smoke this
cigarette or not, do you?
00:30:08.97\00:30:12.87
Friends, God is love
and His laws are given
00:30:19.65\00:30:23.75
not to bind us
or to restrict you
00:30:23.79\00:30:27.36
but to protect you
and to sustain you.
00:30:27.39\00:30:31.03
Now that is freedom.
00:30:31.06\00:30:33.50
I'm Rico Hill and as
always I leave you with this,
00:30:33.53\00:30:36.43
3 John 2 "Beloved, I
wish above all things
00:30:36.46\00:30:39.77
that thou mayest
prosper and be in health."
00:30:39.80\00:30:43.47
Be healthy.
00:30:43.51\00:30:44.91
I'm Sickness.
00:30:44.94\00:30:47.01
Maranatha.
00:30:47.04\00:30:48.38
Are you saying I'm in bondage?
00:30:48.41\00:30:50.85
Are you saying that I'm
the one who is in bondage here?
00:30:50.88\00:30:52.65
